Chapter 305: Chapter 305 Aunt and Nephew Talk

"No." Si Weimin reassured, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, Xiaohui is very obedient here."

"Then why are you in a bad mood?" Lin Fengying knew that Yuan Caizhen had gone back to her parents’ house, so she spoke more freely, "Weimin, don’t try to fool me, I still remember what your temperament is like even after so many years."

"Sister-in-law, it’s really not a big deal." Si Weimin sighed, "It’s just that Caizhen has been throwing tantrums lately and took the child back to her parents’ house today."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengying awkwardly asked, "Does Caizhen not want Xiaohui living in your house? Xiaohui has been living in your house for so long, it must be quite inconvenient. How about helping Song Yu find a job and letting them move out? I heard you and Caizhen have a son, and you have your own little family, so it seems inappropriate for Xiaohui to stay at your house continuously."

As she finished her sentence, Lin Fengying’s voice was filled with bitterness. Upon hearing this, Si Weimin immediately gave his opinion.

"There’s nothing inappropriate about it. Caizhen just needs to adjust her attitude. It’s good for her to stay with her parents and think things through for a few days."

Sister-in-law has taken care of Xiaohui all these years without complaining about hardship. Xiaohui has only been here for one or two months. If he complains about Xiaohui, what kind of person would he be?

"It’s because Xiaohui is affecting your marital relationship." Lin Fengying said anxiously.

Si Weimin said, "It’s okay, Caizhen is just temporarily confused. Staying at her parents’ house and cooling down for a couple of days should help. It’s just that Xiaohui will have to put up with my cooking for a few days, I’m not very good at it."

But Lin Fengying countered, "Why are you, a grown man, cooking? Let Xiaohui cook. She knows how to cook, you haven’t tasted her cooking yet, right?"

Knowing that sister-in-law still held onto rural thinking and believed that a little rest after a miscarriage was not a big deal, Si Weimin didn’t argue but subtly reminded her, "Xiaohui should focus on recuperating. In case it might affect her health for the rest of her life."

Even so, Lin Fengying still misunderstood the implication in Si Weimin’s words, changing her tone to self-mockingly say, "I’m reassured with you taking care of Xiaohui. You’ve lived in the big city for a while, know much more than me. I’ve been dwelling in the countryside for too long, my thoughts are out of date, I can’t keep up with the times, and I am not able to take good care of Xiaohui."

Si Weimin quickly said, "Sister-in-law, that’s not what I meant, don’t misunderstand. Over the years, you’ve taken good care of Xiaohui, and it’s me... it’s me who failed to fulfill my responsibility, making you all suffer for so many years."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengying felt a twinge in her heart and couldn’t help but say, "Although I was alone raising three children in the past, I honestly didn’t feel burdened. It’s just that now, I do feel a bit silly when I remember the past. If I hadn’t been so stubborn and found a man to be with, I wouldn’t be so lonely in my old age."

Upon hearing her words, Si Weimin pretended not to understand the implication in her words and distantly advised from a bystander’s perspective, "It doesn’t matter if you farm those few acres in the village, you should just live with Boyi or Ahchen! Don’t stay alone in the countryside anymore, living in the city makes it easier to travel. If you meet someone suitable, you could consider finding a companion, I believe Ahchen wouldn’t oppose."

Hearing that Si Weimin deliberately avoided her words, turned their relationship into a normal nephew and aunt, as if he didn’t remember the past at all, Lin Fengying felt an immense sorrow.

She couldn’t help but speak in a weird voice, "I hadn’t thought about it this way if you hadn’t brought it up, if you see anyone suitable on your side, please keep an eye out for me. I’m not picky, as long as they don’t mind my age, having given birth to three children, and my being a rural woman, I can do laundry and cook."

"Sister-in-law..." Hearing Lin Fengying’s tone shifting, Si Weimin said, "Well, I need to clear up the dishes, I’ll call you if anything happens at home."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone before Lin Fengying could respond.

Lin Fengying stood by the phone for a long time, until her legs went numb. Then she moved, thinking about what Si Weimin had said, she felt very uncomfortable. After thinking about it all night, she called Tong Yao’s milk tea shop early in the morning.

"Yaoyao, Xiaohui had a miscarriage and there’s no one to take care of her, I am worried, I’d like to go there and look after her. Do you have a place for me to stay? Xiaohui is living at your uncle’s house. If I move there too, it won’t feel right, and there’s probably not enough room."

Upon hearing that Lin Fengying wanted to come over, Tong Yao felt overwhelmed and could only stall, "Mom, I can’t make this decision, I need to discuss it with Ahchen. Have you told Boyi that you want to come to Kyoto? Lijuan is nearly due, if you run over to take care of Xiaohui, wouldn’t it affect her feelings?"

Lin Fengying said, "Lijuan’s due date is still two or three months away. I will only stay in Kyoto for about ten days to half a month. If there’s a place to stay there, I will discuss it with Boyi."

"My current place is a family dormitory with only one bedroom." Tong Yao tactfully refused Lin Fengying’s proposition to come over.

But Lin Fengying countered, "Could we rent a place outside? It doesn’t matter whether it’s in a remote area, as long as it’s close to your uncle’s house, it would be convenient to visit Xiaohui."

Tong Yao gave a dry laugh and said, "I haven’t checked that out before, and I’m not really sure. I need to consult Ahchen first!"

"Alright, you go ask! If you guys can’t find a place, I’ll call your uncle and ask him to help look for it." Lin Fengying’s intentions were clear, she was determined to come to Kyoto.

Before she had decided to go to Kyoto, she didn’t have any specific thoughts. But now that she had made up her mind, she wished she could fly there immediately.

Tong Yao forced a smile, "I’ll have Ahchen call you later, the shop is kind of busy, I need to hang up."

After hanging up, Tong Yao immediately called Si Boyi, telling him about Lin Fengying’s plan to come to Kyoto. Si Boyi was equally shocked and a bit angry when he heard the news.

"What is mom doing coming to Kyoto now? I thought we agreed to let Xiaohui suffer and no one would help her, right?"

Si Boyi didn’t have much affection for Si Weimin. When he was a child, his little uncle only treated Xiaohui well, while treating him and his older brother fairly normally, occasionally scolding them. If there was something good to eat, he would only give it to Xiaohui.

Back then, when his father was still working in Kyoto, he was envious and stole Xiaohui’s food. As a result, Xiaohui cried and told on him to their uncle, who then kicked him, causing him to fall and scrape his knee.

He remembered all of these things. Although he didn’t hold a grudge, he also didn’t have any affection for his uncle. So when he found out his uncle was still alive, he was happy, but he never thought about contacting him.

After all these years, his little uncle hadn’t changed at all, still being very good to Xiaohui.

If his uncle wanted to treat Xiaohui well, it wasn’t any of his business, but he would not compromise.
