初，堂前歸陳，夫之妹尚幼，堂前教育之，及笄，以厚禮嫁遣。 When Tangqian first married into the Chen family, her husband's younger sister was still young; Tangqian educated her and, when she came of age, sent her off with generous marriage rites.

舅姑亡，妹求分財產，堂前盡遺室中所有，無靳色。 When her parents-in-law died, the younger sister sought a division of property; Tangqian gave her everything in the house without hesitation.

不五年，妹所得財為夫所罄，乃歸悔。 Within five years her husband had exhausted the property, and she returned in regret.
