Bab 283: Chapter 283: Lots of Trouble at the Widow's Door

When Si Weimin heard his wife's complaint, he felt a bit guilty too, and comforted her, "You've been wronged recently; I'll ask them about work tomorrow and see what they think. If you feel wronged, tell me. Don't show displeasure towards them. Xiao Hui is quite sensitive, she might think you dislike her. The only relatives left in my family are my sister-in-law, two nephews and one niece. I hope you can understand me, Caizhen."

His gentle coaxing worked wonders. Even though Yuan Caizhen originally felt wronged, she now felt like she wasn't tolerant and understanding enough of her husband.

She sympathized with her husband's lack of kinship and was also afraid that he'd have qualms with her because of his niece. She was aware that his niece was unlikely to stay there for long, probably not more than a year or so. So, it wasn't worth it to estrange from her husband on this matter.
