In this chapter, we learn that the baby's name is "Jiangsu" and that the father is the father of the baby. The baby is named Jiangsu because he is the heir to the family fortune. Jiangsu tells his father that he has been too self-centered in the past few years and that he will end the feud between the last generation and his own. He says that he received his education as the "heir" of the family, and has become who he is as he expected. He asks his father if he will give him what is not his, and he says that if he does not, he will think about it. He tells him that his whole life has been a failure, that he pushed away his favorite grandson, that his son is incompetent, and that his daughter is "unfilial". He tells her that she has been waiting for him for years, and she says that she would have run away with the man next door if he had not come to see her. She says she will go with her father to take care of his affairs before he dies. He turns around and asks her if she has dreamed that her dead relatives want to take her away. She replies that she does not know, but that she lives for a reason.
