The man Su Yunjin had encountered the previous night was indeed Gu Changshun, the eldest son of Gu Ya's older brother and sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang. Last night, it was too dark for Su Yunjin to see him clearly, but this morning at breakfast, she finally got a clear look at Gu Changshun's face.
Gu Changshun didn't resemble his father much but definitely took after his mother, Mrs. Zhang, with a large face, thick eyebrows, a big nose, yet his skin was rather fair. Su Yunjin's father-in-law was paralyzed, and it was usually her mother-in-law, Mrs. An, who took care of his meals personally; neither the sons nor their wives needed to help. This morning, her father-in-law had eaten very little, so Mrs. An specifically instructed Su Yunjin to beat the two eggs she had taken out and make two boiled eggs to take to her father-in-law.
