** ... until he pours all his money into a new purchase to double his profits, whereas the Greek just makes off with the money. On top of that, he turns out to be a spy, which gives Milyu some trouble.
** Then his son marries some girl and wants to set her up with a job, but she cheats with her boss, so the son gets drunk and sets his father and grandfather's house on fire...
** Only for Milyu to find his father-in-law's money hoard in the ashes and enjoy some comfort in his late years.
