Zhulan waved her hand, "I'm too old for bright clothing; this was made by Xue Mei for herself."
After hearing about it, Lady Zhou learned that Xue Mei and her husband had brought their child back to her parents' home, and she had also gotten some details from the old man's mouth the day before. She felt for Zhou Shuren and his wife's love for their daughter, "A girl born into your family is truly blessed."
Not every parent treats their daughter as important and is willing to help out. Thinking about the twenty taels of silver for copying work given to the son-in-law, she marveled at the solid foundation of Zhou Shuren's household and felt even closer to them.
Zhulan reflected, "Life is not easy for a woman to begin with. If even her parents don't cherish her, wouldn't her life be even harder? Parents are a child's reliance, aren't they? That said, when it comes to cherishing a daughter, auntie, you shouldn't be modest either. You and uncle are among the best as well."
