After being advised by Tong Huaqiong, Chen Sufen felt full of remorse.
She had underestimated her mother-in-law.
She wanted Gu Dahuan to stay at home, fearing that her mother-in-law would be reluctant if she knew about Gu Dahuan's three taels of silver. I learned last night that Gu Dahuan gets a monthly allowance of three taels of silver and became worried since the other day mother-in-law eagerly mentioned letting Gu Dahuan stay home, unaware of the good position he held with the Lu Family.
Afraid that her mother-in-law would be unwilling if she found out about the monthly salary of three taels of silver, Chen Sufen, being straightforward, thought to probe her mother-in-law's reaction.
Now her mother-in-law's attitude was very clear, which was to have Gu Dahuan resign from the Lu Family. Chen Sufen felt both delighted and self-reproachful.
