Chapter 318: Suspicion
Si Weimin let out a long sigh, "Let her reflect, it was my fault for deceiving her but she’s rude to you, this is something I can’t tolerate. You and Xiaohui have suffered enough over the years, I can’t watch you guys get bullied."
"Don’t say it that way. Caizhen never bullied me but my actions were rather humiliating." Lin Fengying blushed and confessed, "Actually, I didn’t do it on purpose. The underwear was clean. I tried to change into it but put it under the pillow and forgot about it, turning it into an awkward situation. Caizhen is urban through and through, obviously more particular about cleanliness, it’s normal if she can’t tolerate it."
The more Lin Fengying blamed herself, the more Si Weimin thought she was making a fuss out of nothing. The issue about the underwear seemed small, but looking down upon his sister-in-law was the bigger picture.
He comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don’t blame yourself too much. It’s wasn’t your fault, Caizhen is only being too fussy. I usually carelessly throw my underwear around and she didn’t lose her temper. Leave it to her, you don’t have to worry. Let’s let her self-reflect for a bit, I’ll stay in a hotel for the next few days, and once she’s finished reflecting, I’ll go back."
"There’s space for you to stay here, why waste money on a hotel?" Lin Fengying anxiously added, "Xiaohui just had a miscarriage a few days ago and the two of them, yesterday... It’s good you’re here. Let Xiaohui stay with me. You can stay with Song Yu. Otherwise, if Xiaohui has any lingering problems in the future, it’ll be too late for regrets."
Although she didn’t put it into clear words, Si Weimin understood Lin Fengying’s thoughts. His complex darkened before he nodded, "Then I’ll stay here for a few days!"
He was young once. He knew Song Yu was at an age full of energy and hotheadedness. The two were young and had no understanding. If there were any lingering problems, it would be too late for regrets.
As for his wife, indeed she should self-reflect. Bullying her sister-in-law over a simple piece of underwear, clearly belittling her because she’s a country bumpkin with no one to lean on.
