Gebu punished Ranofer by locking him in a tomb within the house and threatening him with harm if he attempted to escape or tell anyone about his situation. He also forced Ranofer to work even harder at the gold shop to make up for the lost worker, Ibni.
Ranofer asked Gebu where he hid the gold that he stole from their boss, and Gebu became angry because he hadn't told Ranofer where he hid it.
Gebu is Ranofers half brother. Although this is true, he hates having to share with Ranofer, which causes pain and etc. Yet, in chapter IV to VI Gebu is actually quite nice because of the gold he stole. This means that Gebu lacked what he wanted, and takes his anger out on Ranofer.
Gebu is the evil half brother of Ranofer. He beats up Ranofer and uses him as a tool to steal gold from Rekh's goldshop. He wants to now make Ranofer as his stonecutter apprentice although Ranofer has no interest in it. He destroys and crushes Ranofer's hopes and dreams because of the evil person he is. Living with Gebu must be very hard because Ranofer gets beatup, forced to do things he doesn't like, and gives him barely enough food

Ranofer explains that he would very much like to be Zau's pupil, but does not have the money. Zau then explains to Ranofer he will charge no fee, but Ranofer replies he cannot because of his apprenticeship with Gebu. Zau tells him to dissolve it. Ranofer explains he cannot. Zau then says: "Son of my old friend, it is clear that I can do nothing for you at the present. You must reshape your life into some other form. When you have done this, come to me again, and I will teach you." (132)
