About ten years later Gregino died of old age at 62, and Zia was again alone in the house. She thought about who should inherit it, and decided on Bou, who was the youngest in the family. She called him the next day and told him the news. He was joyful and asked Zia if he could move in the following week. Zia agreed and looked forward to seeing him again. When Bou finally came to the house, Zia greeted him and showed him around the house. But then she began feeling weak and went to her bed to lie down. Zia passed away that afternoon, with Bou at her side. Now Bou could raise his family in the house, and pass it down through generations.
