In this chapter, we learn that Zillah married the daughter of a village chief who owned a coal mine. Zillah's father was killed during a battle for the mine, and Zillah took over the mine. The village chief's daughters were once married, and their husbands were killed during the same battle. The daughter of the village chief married Zillah, and he married her. The old village chief passed away, leaving Zillah the sole owner of the coal mine and grandson of the old chief. In the 2000s, Zillah bought the scenic yangshan area, but the coal industry in the village began to shrink, and the mine was depleted too. He tried to transform his real estate business, but it failed. He also fell ill, and his wife called his son back from abroad to come back. The two worked together, and kicked him off his business. When Zillah was finally diagnosed with cancer two years later, he sent to his lover in xiaojilun, hoping to reunite with his "lover." The couple seems to have been treating each other like a tool.
