After her grandmother passed away, Dai begged to be taken care of by her brother, who was the only one who looked after her. After a year, he was taken in by his uncle, who seized the house that his grandmother had left behind. Dai begs his brother to take her with him, but his brother refuses, saying that the place is too cold. He tells his brother that if he learns that his uncle will beat him, he should leave him as well. He then tells his sister to wait for her return, but she refuses to believe him. She tells him that her grandmother had assured her that she would come back, and that she will not return ever again. She then tells her brother that he should not worry, as she will die if he does not leave.
