However, according to Lian Shouyi and Lady He, it means that even though the child belongs to someone else, they should still be filial to them and take on the responsibility of supporting them.
In farmstead families, most spend their entire lives laboring nonstop. Even in old age, they can't remain idle and always need to be doing something within their ability. Even during the agricultural off-season in villages, very few people do nothing. Those who idle away their time are the most despised by farmstead families.
Lian Shouyi and Lady He are in their prime. People their age usually have to support the old and raise the young, brimming with energy while also bearing the heaviest burden.
However, this couple doesn't want to bear any burden. On the contrary, they believe it is time for them to enjoy the filial piety of their children.
