Yesterday, Mrs. An went to the market and bought meat and vegetables. In the morning Su Yunjin also sent over wine, chicken eggs, and fish. Mrs. Chu was cooking in the kitchen, and besides the second sister, Gu Hengniang, who went to help, both the eldest sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law did not go to help. The eldest sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law had always been lazy.
When the Gu Family had not yet divided their household, neither the eldest sister-in-law nor the fourth sister-in-law liked to cook. Now that the households were divided, they were even less willing to help. Both waited to eat until the food was ready.
In the morning, just after she had got up, Su Yunjin did help out for a while, but then Wan Ruyan arrived, and there was a gathering of all the finest people outside, so Su Yunjin hid and did not go out.
