事舅姑以孝聞。 She was renowned for the filial devotion with which she served her parents-in-law.

及舅姑亡沒，三安亦死，二子孩童，家至貧窶。 After her parents-in-law died, San'an died as well, leaving two young sons and a household in utter poverty.

李晝則力田，夜紡緝，數年間葬舅姑及夫之叔侄兄弟者七喪，深為遠近所嗟尚。 By day she worked the fields; by night she spun and wove; within a few years she had conducted seven funerals for her parents-in-law and her husband's uncles, nephews, and brothers, winning deep admiration throughout the region.
