What should chino and Blanca do with the ring? Why?
I think Blanca and Julio should keep the ring and sell it for money. They can pay their bills with the money and buy stuff for the baby that’s coming. But chino decided to give the ring back because it's affecting his relationship with Blanca. After Chino finishes giving the ring back to bodega he considers his conflicted feeling about bodega and he said "whatever evil deed had been committed, something good was coming out of it....someone had to step forward to do something". This means that bodega has stepped up and own of his resident was going to improve Spanish Harlem.
Why does chino tell blanca the truth about the ring instead of keeping it a secret from her?
Chino tells the truth to Blanca because Chino doesnt want him and Blanca argueing anymore. The last time Chino hid something from Blanca she got mad because Chino was always hiding things like he's single and wont tell her what he's doing or planning. Chino was talking to himself about the situation of the ring and he was saying "So that left me with the truth. The truth was all i had and blanca believed in the truth. To her the truth would set me free". This is showing that although chino wants to keep the ring and use the ring for money to support his family, he atleast wants his wife to know what he wants to do instead of hiding it from her and making her have to suspiciously find out what you are doing and how you got the money.

This question might have came up in a lot of peoples heads the reason why I wanted to awnser this was because things went by to easily. Vera mediately falls in love with bodega and wants to marry him with no problem.

Vera has a ring of marriage and takes it off to give it to chino she says "here take it i don't want it and i never did". I used this quote because she specifically says that she didn't want to marry her husband. In this hole story we have never heard about Vera and her husband we don't know what type of person he is.

Bodega got back with Vera. Chino and Blanca got into a argument. Chino went to church with Blanca to make up with her and make her happy. When they got back there building was on fire. Nazario was speaking for Bodega. Chino said "But I knew Bodega couldn't have Vera's niece homeless, even temporarily." Bodega is loves Vera. Bodega would do anything to make her happy.
