They had long since split and lived separately, living far away now, and there was deep resentment between them and the old house. However, on the first and fifteenth of every month, the family always made time to visit Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou at the old house, rain or shine.

Everyone said that Lian Shouxin's family was benevolent, that they valued good conduct, which is why their children could succeed and receive imperial awards, and why their life could be as prosperous as it was. They also said that Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou were fortunate to have a son and daughter-in-law like Lian Shouxin and Lady Zhang, and grandchildren like Wu Lang and the others.
