	<entry>Yes. The things of the past are really sad to recall. When I married your grandfather, his family was rich and had a lot of land. Our family didn't have much propertiy. When I arrived in his household, everyone in that huge family stared at me, the new daughter-in-law. What could I do? Just keep slaving away. I didn't stop the whole day long. (Sigh) It's a good thing your grandfather was a good man; that's the only thing that made life a little easier.</entry>
