She waited for one day, waited for so many years, and finally the wait was over.
As the Clan Matron, she had to be magnanimous, able to balance the various complex relationships between the women in the family and the clan.
She had to care for and support the old and young widows, suppress those who were unruly and troublesome, and for some small-mindedness, as long as it wasn't too damaging, she had to turn a blind eye and let it go.
She couldn't afford to make any mistakes; otherwise, not only outsiders would be watching, but even those sisters-in-law in the clan would be watching her, just waiting for her to make a mistake so they could hold it against her.
All these years, she endured for a good reputation, for a good marriage alliance for her children.
She originally planned that, after enduring until her youngest son got married, she wouldn't need to endure anymore. By then, all the children in the family would be settled down, even Fourth Miss would have her own family.
