Bab 2400: Keeping One’s Promise (2)

"Slowly. The water's not hot, right? Don't be in a hurry, Grandpa."

His son had sacrificed himself early and was no longer around. He hadn't married a wife and given birth to grandchildren.

Aside from his son's sacrifice, his other siblings had their own homes. After the death of his son, he thought that he was going to live under a bridge for the rest of his old age. Who would expect that he could still enjoy this blessing today?

Upon thinking of those siblings who no longer kept in contact with him for fear that he would burden them, the old man said that they might not even be leading a life as good as his now, even though they had children.
