Upper image: Our ‘anti-hero’ - the same character we have been following all along - is in his warehouse; he seems to be a rice dealer, holding his abacus.

He has mountains of rice in stock - and as the captions tell us that he is offering only an extremely low price to the farmer’s representative - we are led to the conclusion that he is a greedy speculator.

Lower image: The couple (the former bridegroom and his wife) have carried a selection of their goods for showing to a potential customer.

The wife is recommending a particular hair ornament, and the good souls are helping the couple by polishing and cleaning the items for sale.

His business seems to be successful!

Any comments are welcome! (S.I)
