Unexpectedly the day before yesterday Mrs. Sun treated Kitty more severely, which made Kitty very embarrassed and my situation more difficult. I am unable to fathom the aim of such act of Mrs. Sun. This morning Kitty heard outside their room that she made many inflammatory remarks to Sun Fo, which seemed to force Sun Fo to move out. Therefore, after lunch, when I went upstairs to get a toothpick, Sun Fo suddenly lost his temper, saying Kitty did not eat for several days and she pulled a long face towards him and that these actions are inappropriate for a host. They paid for their living here, and could move out any time. If we were unwilling to allow them to stay, we should say clearly. Kitty should not pull a long face. At the time, Sun uttered these words both his voice and face were stern. Kitty explained to him, saying she took the drugs of Dr. Li so she could not eat. She did not have any other intention. Also when I was with him at the dining table, Kitty begged him not to listen to others. When she uttered these words she was quite angry. She also swore. When I went downstairs, their quarrel was at its hottest. Though I said nothing I also thought the fault was with Sun Fo. It is because we had invited them to live here out of good intention, and tried our best to provide a good living place for them. Unfortunately, his wife thought that we wanted to earn their money, which had made us feel very upset. Perhaps she is unaccustomed to village living so she wanted to move to Paris. Therefore, he made various inflammatory remarks. Kitty had already upset her. If such a matter lingered, it would have no good result. Therefore, I immediately left my seat and returned to my room to consider how to solve the problem. I thought that if his wife is unwilling to live with us, the only solution was to inform her not to stay. I prepared a letter and asked Baoqiao to give it to her. But Baoqiao urged me not to hand it over first. Therefore, this afternoon, I went to Paris with Kitty immediately. The appointment of Guo Jinkun this night was declined by Baoqiao for us. I had supper with Kitty at the Shanglong restaurant. We returned home at around half past eleven. We talked at the place of Baoqiao. Baoqiao said Sun Fo had not mentioned the matter to him. But Kitty felt even more uneasy for this. I thought it was only very natural.
