[Summarize this chapter]

김창호씨 식당에 갔음. 그는 식당에서 일할 것을 제안함. 두둑한 돈 주당 35엔 - 지금돈으로 1엔이 5백불? 가치라고 하는디?? 확실치 않음 -  을 준다고 함. 물론 경희도 함께. 모세도 같이 있어도 되고, 일만 다 하면 집에 언제든 빨리 가도 되고! ㅋㅋ 하지만 그들에게는 큰 산이 있었으니... 요셉의 허락을 받아야하느니라... 요셉은 몰래 투잡을 뛰고 있을 정도로 그들은 자금 사정이 좋지 않음. 

근데 그 갈비집은 요셉도 아는 곳임. 돈 빌린적도 있음. 그래서 그런곳에서 자기 아내가 일하는 걸 참을 수가 없음.
