When they threaten to take her as repayment since the debt remains unpaid, Leah resists, but the pressure escalates as they give her family half a month to pay or face worse consequences. Jane supports Leah by promising to find money and urges her to keep studying instead of quitting school to work. Despite Jane’s reassurance, Leah’s situation worsens as the creditors vow to confront her husband’s family next, leaving the debt unresolved and danger looming.
