In this chapter, we learn that the second son is upset that his father has wronged him. He asks his grandfather if he should protect him, his second son, or his grandson. The grandfather tells him that he should marry the woman who gave birth to his son, and break off with anyone he has outside. He tells his grandson that the woman was a foreigner, and that the donor was his son. He says that his grandson's birth corresponded with his son's, but that he does not yet know if the child is his. He urges his grandson to bring his grandson back to the house as soon as possible.
