She also points out that she is a junior and that she dares not oppose her elders. She tells her mother that if the family had stayed in the house, children like her would not be beaten to death. Her sister tells her that now that the family is nearing death, everyone will be able to live a rich and carefree life. She adds that she understands why the family came to this point. The family needs to work harder to protect its inheritance. Because of limited resources, the family has to rely on its distant relatives to complete many tasks.
