This next two chapter are kind of strange. In the seventh chapter the writer presents a situation of an old lady (Dona Felicia), who always pretended to recognize unreliable tenants, but this time, she is deceived. A young couple knocked her traila door requesting the Caridad's traila for living in. Dona Felicia feels compassion for this couple with a baby on the way, and let them move in with only the half of the deposit. Later, Dona Felicia realized the mistake she did when nine more people and a ugly dog came to live in the traila. This people, finally stole all the Caridad's stuff that was in the traila. This shows people taking advantage of old and unprotected woman.
The other chapter, 8, seems to be another story. The protagonists here are Helena and Maria. These two friends share the home, and the same spirit of adventure. This made them travel to the land of Maria's ancestors. In the way of this adventure, they found a man driving a truck that followed them and tried to shoot them with a gun. Helena decided to return back and without ending their trip.
