At this moment, the terminally ill scholar Shi burst forth with unprecedented courage, hastily planning out his eldest grandson's future path.
Once the plan was decided, he immediately put it into action.

When he got to the heartbreaking part, Shi Xiucai couldn't help but shed a few tears.
While wiping away tears with her sleeve, she couldn't help but steal glances at her old friend on the other side of the table.
