In Act 3, the complete beginning Grusha is walking with her child for "another 7 days". Walking for such an extent of time in the cold, we would expect the mother to give up the child however Grusha safely reaches her brother's house with Michael. In order for Michaels financial safety, Grusha agrees to marry a dying man "on paper". Grusha sticks with her child regardless of the trouble she is getting into with the Ironshirts. Grusha's humble act relates directly with Brecht's life, we can see that when Brecht's mother had cancer, she still took care of Brecht.
