Chapter 338 - 337: I can have Akai help you
The Si Family was suddenly blessed with two joyous occasions. Lin Fengying started to feel generous and bought several pounds of candies to distribute, door to door, making everyone in the village green with envy.
It’s fascinating how the Si Family went through ups and downs over the last two decades—it’s quite the saga. From the peaceful starting days, to poverty and hunger, and now, their current flourishing state. It certainly is a testament to the saying, ’what goes around, comes around,’ with the wheel of fortune turning again in favor of the Si Family.
Those who once looked down on the Si Family now wished they could offer their daughters in marriage to them, especially the young ladies who once had a marriage proposal from Si Boyi. To say that they now regretted it to the point of turning green wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Lin Fengying’s main purpose of distributing candies was to make those who looked down on Si Boyi regret their previous judgments. Her strategy worked quite well, indeed making people regret, but it also reminded many of her scandalous affair with Si Weimin years ago, a topic that frequently came up in idle chat.
Even Chen Jinlan joined in the gossip. Lin Fengying noticed people staring at her odd looks. She wanted to call and ask about how Si Weimin and Yuan Caizhen were doing, but she was afraid that Caizhen might pick up the phone instead. She tried to get information out of Tong Yao, but Yao’s lips were sealed and she couldn’t get a word out.
However, Lin Fengying had been preoccupied. Lin Man called her every few days and they could chat for over ten minutes each time. Lin Fengying grew more and more fond of Lin Man. From Lin Man, she sensed a good impression of Si Chen and she would occasionally ask about Si Chen’s childhood.
Sometimes, she would wonder how good it would have been if Si Chen hadn’t married Tong Yao. Perhaps, Si Chen and Lin Man could have ended up together, and many problems at home could have been avoided.
But it was too late to think about now as her eldest son was already married.
