pp.266-270

It has been 15 years now that he has left China to Thailand

He wants to visit his mom at China but last a group of musician went to China and came back to Thailand, they were arrested also for the sake of his family he wouldnt go there

He is also saddened by the fact that his mom never sent a reply to his letters

Import business not doing so well cz of new government regulations

Also TSU resignated his place as a director in the Chinese Merchants Society but they quickly found a replacement for him

He also lost 5 thousand baht because of an investment plan the len share or len huai

He didnt want to inves tat first but cz Kim is always talking abt it, so yeah he did invest

He then talks about how there are many ways to make money out of money in Thailand

some withdraw huge amount of money and lend it at at very high rates

another money-earning scheme is “selling on time“ which is favored by the individual

Im not sure how it works

TSU is very annoyed with WK

WK still attends the night school and now is smoking cigarettes, TSU found out because of the yellow fingers

ME says hes still a good kid and believe that even tho he smoke, his personality is the same and that TSU is too scary to his children

TSU cut his allowance by half

WK was not happy and argue with his father and says he wanted freedom

He says that TSU lets the daughter do whatever they want because they are going to get married off anyway

they got into a small argument

TSU remembered that WK wanted a watch so he let WK choose his own watch (He does so to show WK that not all his desire is gone through the window)

WK became less angry and sad
