In Chapter 7, Ole Kaelo's head spins incessantly. Explain what has happened for him to be in this situation.

In Chapter Seven, Oloisudori (Kaelo’s new business partner) arrives at the Kaelo home unexpectedly. Resian informs Oloisudori that her father is not home and politely suggests that he return later. He ignores Resian and says that he will wait for Kaelo inside. Resian serves the uninvited guest tea, and Oloisudori ogles her and makes her feel uncomfortable. Kaelo arrives and Resian leaves to find Taiyo and Joseph.

Joseph Parmuat informs the girls that Oloisudori is a known criminal and extortionist. He is infamous throughout Nasila for his criminal activity and predatory loans. The children return home to find Kaelo still talking with Oloisudori. Afterward, Ole Kaelo and Mama Milanoi assure their daughters that nothing is wrong, but their anxiety is obvious. Kaelo informs his daughters that things are going to change at home, but assures them it is nothing serious.

After Oloisudori leaves, Ole Kaelo informs Mama Milanoi that Oloisudori wants to marry Resian. Ole Kaelo explains that their business is financed by bank loans that rely on Oloisudori’s support. Having ignored Supeyo’s warning to beware of Oloisudori with his criminal background and reputation for robbery and murder, Kaelo must deal with the consequences.
