In this chapter, Lin tries to convince his brother that he's not interested in Luo's older sister. He says that she's too stupid to be interested in him, and that he doesn't care if she marries a jerk like his elder sister. Lin tells his brother to listen to him, because he wants to marry the girl he loves. Lin says that he was just as silent as a fish when he asked his brother what he wanted to say, and now that he can't listen to his brother, he'll have to stab him in the back. Lin asks his brother if he can have his "couplet" again, and he says that if it's true, then he should listen carefully. Lin compares his "river" to a mountain, and says that the river flows its own way, but when it gets too old, it becomes "grey-headed" . Lin thinks that his "second couplet" is a perfect example of this. He asks why he didn't tell him to watch out for his "bastard" , and Lin says he'd like to make his "monkey young master lose" by getting his "old waist" back.
