Winslet abruptly demands repayment: she will marry but only after reclaiming every cent she earned for the family and taking back the possessions she bought. Her relatives retaliate, listing tuition and upkeep they paid, calling her and another "leeches" and refusing to comply, then insisting on a public debate at the village entrance to settle accounts. They humiliate her further by dismissing a Plum Blossom betrothal watch as a fake and throwing out her belongings. The episode turns when someone announces, "Winslet, your man's here!" — his messy arrival breaks the scene and leaves the repayment and public showdown unresolved.
