The third and fifth brothers and their wives had opened their shops and had money in hand, so their mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, looked upon them favorably. She and her husband, Gu Baofu, were now poor, and didn't have as much silver as the third brother's family. To her, Mrs. Zhang no longer saw them with the same eyes or treated them as she used to.
Mrs. Zhang felt that Mrs. An cared about the money the third and fifth siblings had, but she never considered the horrible things she had done. How could she make Mrs. An like her?
Mrs. An didn't care what Mrs. Zhang thought.
Once she recovered from her illness, Mrs. An looked after Gu Chengxiang as usual. Xiangxiang and Xiaoshan, the two children who had been scolded for fighting with Su Yunjin last time, had been disciplined by Mrs. An and Gu Chengxiang.
