"I have to bear it even if I can't. I have to finish the path I chose, even if I have to crawl on my knees! Go to sleep. I'll rest tomorrow and go to the yamen to see how to file a petition. Whether it can even be filed is still uncertain."
The next morning, the family went to the yamen (government office) without even having breakfast. After asking the yamen runners and paying some money, they found the relevant person in charge.
