Chapter 74

Han Xin was very bitter when he was young.There was a floating mother who sympathized with Han Xin's experience, so she kept helping him and giving him food.Han Xin was very grateful to her, so he told her that he would definitely repay her heavily in the future.After hearing what Han Xin said, the drifting mother was very unhappy, and said that she did not hope that Han Xin would repay her in the future.Later, Han Xin made a lot of contributions to the King of Han and was named the King of Chu. He remembered the favor he had received from Piaomu, so he gave her food and wine, and even gave her 1000 taels of gold to thank her.

This story says: When you receive favors from others, never forget that although the favors you receive are very small, even a little help is very valuable when you are in trouble; when we are able, we should repay the benefactors heavily .
