The next morning, Cai tells his uncle that his stomach is bleeding, and he's not feeling well. He tells Cai that he'll be late for dinner, but that Cai's mother has asked him to stay and care for Cai at home. Cai asks if Cai is working for him or for his mother, and Cai tells him that he has been waiting for him for a long time. Cai then asks if he went to work today, but Cai says that he just needs to care for his mom at home, and that's all Cai can do. Cai is worried that one day, Cai might lose everything, and if he does, Cai will never give him up.
