Gu Zi expressed her gratitude to Aunt Zhang, “Thank you for sharing all this with me, and for your hard work today. Aunt Zhang, you’re well-acquainted with the people of Chen Village. After today, please keep an eye on their activities and let me know if anything unusual happens. Also, please accept this token of my appreciation for your help today. Everyone who helped out will receive one.”

From a small bag she carried with her, Gu Zi pulled out a red envelope and handed it to Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang initially wanted to refuse. She hadn’t offered her assistance to Gu Zi for the sake of money, but simply because she enjoyed Gu Zi’s company. It was rare to find someone like Gu Zi in the village.

However, after hearing Gu Zi’s subsequent words, Aunt Zhang found it difficult to refuse and accepted the envelope gracefully.

The sacrificial ceremony was a lively affair, lasting until well past three in the afternoon. Exhausted, Gu Zi returned home, took a bath, and went straight to bed for a nap. She was at ease knowing that her daughter, Su Le, was in the care of the two older brothers.

Meanwhile, at the ancestral hall, Su Jing and Aunt Zhang were still busy with the cleanup. Su Jing was tidying up the tables in the courtyard, alone. Seizing the opportunity, a few women from Chen Village approached her for a chat.

The gossipy woman started, “Su Jing, when did you come back? We didn’t expect you to still have a place in the Su family. We apologize for what happened today. We don’t really have any issues with the Su family. We just can’t stand that city woman’s attitude. Besides, she’s not even a real heiress, just a mistaken one!”

Su Jing continued her work, not saying anything or interrupting. The other women chimed in, echoing the gossipy woman, “Exactly, you’re a member of the Su family. It’s only right that you should be in charge. But Gu Zi isn’t. The one leading the incense offering should have been you, an unmarried sister of the family, not her. We feel indignant on your behalf!

“Right, and we heard that Gu Zi doesn’t do anything at home except cook. She even makes your brother do a lot of the chores, including laundry! Your brother is a man who earns a good living. Since when do men do women’s laundry?

“Doing chores like cooking and laundry will bring bad luck to a man if he does them too often. You’ve lived in the city too, have you ever seen a man doing laundry for a woman? What’s the point of marrying her?”
