Zhou Ling suspects Aunt Qin (actually Chen Xiaolong's biological mother, Qin Xiulan) stole her ring and insists on searching her. Chen Xiaolong, under pressure, tacitly agrees to Zhou Ling and her mother's unreasonable demands. To prove her innocence, Qin Xiulan publicly disrobes in shame and anger. During the search, Zhou Ling discovers a wad of crumpled cash hidden by Qin Xiulan. Qin Xiulan tearfully explains that it's money saved over the years from farming, raising pigs, and even selling blood to fund her son's education. However, Zhou Ling and her mother remain relentless, verbally abusing her and threatening to call the police, ruining her and her son and grandchildren's reputations. In extreme guilt and pain, Chen Xiaolong finally erupts in an angry cry.
