He then recounted some of Xu Suying's peculiar habits. "There are so many banquets in the Capital City. One day, this family is holding a flower-viewing party; the next day, that family is celebrating their child's first full month. If the food at a party was good, your mother would wake up at the crack of dawn and wait by your grandmother's side, just itching to go. But if the food at a banquet was bad, your mother wouldn't even get out of bed, let alone go visit their home..."
'This whole ordeal seems to have taught her a lesson,' Xu Shiling thought. 'She's not picky about her clothes or her food anymore.' But he couldn't say it aloud. The mere thought of it made his eyes well up.
If it weren't for the Yan family's evil deeds, would his sister, a fine young lady from a wealthy family, have had to suffer for twenty years?
Not only did his sister suffer, but her children were dragged into it as well, looking like poor, pitiful things.
