At the end of the chapter, the family gathers for a banquet. The narrator tells the story of how the du family's son was kicked out of the school because he reported his "cheating" to the school's teacher. The du family sent him to the gentry's hometown to find him, but he did not appreciate it. He was then transferred to the factory town of the glans, where he ran a factory and had children. The family is shocked at the news, and the narrator tells them that he will arrange for them to see the father-in-law once he is released from prison.
