Although she had never seen him before, Xue Yan knew who he was talking about.
Zhang Meili was quite close to her eldest sister's family and often kept in touch with her. Her eldest uncle had naturally come over many times. Zhang Meili was his fourth aunt, so it was difficult for him not to know her.
Perhaps it was because Zhang Meili favored her eldest son, Xue Zhuzi, and didn't like her youngest son, Xue Gouzi. She realized that Xue Gouzi was very timid and she did not like that. This made her family not like Xue Gouzi very much. This uncle of his was one of them.
In fact, Xue Zhuzi wasn't particularly favored by Zhang Meili's maiden family. He was just a little better than Xue Gouzi. Only his uncle was especially good to Xue Zhuzi.
According to this uncle, it was because he hit it off with Xue Zhuzi. He didn't have any sons and only had daughters, so he treated Xue Zhuzi as his own son.
