Chapter 816 - 817: Unexpected Gains
"Sijie, where are you off to?"
One morning, Song Xiaodong, noticing that Li Sijie was all dressed up, casually asked her.
Li Sijie replied, "I have an uncle who just happens to live in Minghe, and with the New Year approaching, I’m planning to visit him early to pay my respects and buy him some gifts."
"You have an uncle in Minghe?" Song Xiaodong asked in surprise.
"Yes, my own uncle. We didn’t visit much previously due to the distance, but now that we’re in the same city, I really should go see him."
Song Xiaodong immediately said, "A mother’s brother is important! Since he’s your own uncle, I must come with you; it would be impolite not to."
"Ah, no need, you’re so busy. It’s just visiting a relative; you don’t have to go out of your way for me." Although she said this, Li Sijie’s face clearly showed delight.
Song Xiaodong said guiltily, "I brought you here but haven’t really talked to you much. I didn’t even know about your uncle being here, and I’m already sorry for that. Now that I know, how could I not accompany you? Moreover, you are pregnant; if your uncle asks, you won’t be able to explain it well."
That made Li Sijie nod her head, and she said happily, "Alright then."
Song Xiaodong said, "Actually, we don’t need to buy anything special; our Su family has everything we need. We can just pick a few items as gifts."
Song Xiaodong is the Patriarch of the Su family, so naturally, the Su family’s descendents and some other parties always bring him gifts.
He hardly pays attention to these gifts. The Su family has a steward specifically for handling these matters.
