Although she was getting on in years, her mind remained sharp. In this world, if you can stand your ground, you shouldn't cower!
But if you knowingly face a stone with an egg, then you're just being foolish!
One should bend when necessary and stretch when appropriate! Enduring momentary grievances allows you to stand tall with pride in the future!
Moreover, for her beloved daughter, she would endure any hardship, even sacrificing her life!
Besides, it was just about staying in the courtyard and not going out. Daily, she lacked nothing in terms of food and clothing, with maids and servants attending to her, afraid of her being unhappy, chatting and joking to cheer her up.
Her daughter and son-in-law were even more considerate, keeping her company every day to make her happy.
As a country woman, how could she not be content with such enjoyment?
One shouldn't be too greedy, or even the heavens won't tolerate it.
