Chapter 270: Yuan Caizhen’s Husband is Also Named Si Weimin
Wen Yun continued chopping vegetables without pause, assuming Tong Yao was merely making small talk, and replied without much thought, "If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about it. Her husband is indeed from Li City, his name eludes me. Caizhen’s parents bought them a house elsewhere, so they don’t live here. Caizhen comes more often, her husband is rather busy and only comes when necessary or during the holidays. I heard that Caizhen’s husband now owns a clothing factory, and business seems to be doing well."
Wen Yun wasn’t much for gossip and only occasionally heard snippets from neighbors; she couldn’t ascertain the accuracy of these bits of information. Still, given that they were being circulated, they couldn’t be far off.
After all, there seems to be little reason for neighbors so close to spread falsehoods.
Tong Yao blinked and changed the subject: "Mom, I heard Ahchen has a younger uncle; do you know about this?"
Wen Yun was taken aback, as if suddenly remembering something, and responded, "Si Chen’s father’s accident was handled by his younger uncle and your grandma-in-law together in Kyoto. After they accompanied him back, I haven’t heard anything more about his younger uncle’s affairs. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten that he even had a younger uncle. Why didn’t I see him at your wedding?"
From her daughter’s tone, it seemed that she hadn’t met Si Chen’s younger uncle either. Could something have happened to him?
Not much time had passed, but it had been over a decade. There’s a possibility that Si Chen’s younger uncle might have passed away.
Over the years, Wen Yun hadn’t asked too much about the Si family’s affairs. Her husband handled most of it and would occasionally share some information about the Si family in his free time. However, all he really talked about was Si Chen; thus, she didn’t know much about the rest of the family.
