When Lin learns that he has been fired from his job as a cook, he is furious. He wants to know why she has fired the maid who was supposed to wash his clothes. Lin tells her that she is being nice to him, and that she has been working for him for a year without any safety. He tells her not to make silly mistakes, like adding sugar and salt to her food, and not to pursue someone. She tells him that she would rather starve to death than wait and eat just for Lin's new job.
