She Breastfed Her Mother-in-Law

Madam Tang was the grandmother of a jiedushi called Cui Shannan (崔山南), so this story probably took place in Cui's childhood. Cui's great grandmother, Madam Zhangsun, was very old and had already lost all her teeth. Madam Tang took care of her mother-in-law and breastfed her for years. When Madam Zhangsun was on her deathbed, she summoned all her family members and told them, "I can never repay my daughter-in-law's kindness. I just hope that all of you will treat her as well as she treated me." After Cui grew up, he followed his great grandmother's words and treated his grandmother kindly.
