jun 5, 1853 - Lily's Third Son and Life Alterations

Description:

(Exact date unknown) Around the time Lily gave birth to her third son, the daily life in the Lu household changed. Uncle Lu's loss of favor and the rebellions against rent increases caused Lily's father-in-law to cut back on his tobacco, her husband spent longer days on the field, and her eldest son's tutor left so Uncle Lu began to teach him. The gifts of silk cloth and embroidery threads diminished. Things continued to worsen as the lack of rain caused crop shortages.
