In this chapter, we learn that the parents have agreed to send their daughter to live with a poor family in the city. The parents are furious that they can't take their daughter away from her father without their permission. They're not going to let their son-in-law take his daughter away without their consent either. They don't want him to take her away, and they're going to expose him in the media so that he won't be able to get away with it. When the parents finally realize that they've been tricked, they threaten to go to the media and expose the whole family to the world. They threaten to make sure that everyone in the family is afraid to go. Worried that the family will be exposed, the parents beg xiaonian to help them out. .
