Il retrouve son oncle, le Papet, à qui il dévoile son projet : rester au pays pour cultiver des œillets. Convaincu que l’affaire peut être rentable, le Papet accepte de financer l’entreprise. Il faut donc trouver une terre, ensoleillée bien sûr mais surtout bien arrosée. Celle de Pique‐Bouffigue ferait l’affaire. Le Papet tente, en vain, de convaincre le vieillard irascible de lui céder son bien. Celui‐ci perd la vie dans le bref affrontement qui s’ensuit. À la surprise générale, un héritier se présente, Jean Cadoret, un bossu qu’accompagnent sa femme et sa fille…
