Seeing this, Jiang Yue turned to look at Xue Yan.
Xue Yan watched the woman walk away, then sighed, and on the way back with Jiang Yue, he said, "Eldest uncle's wife has knots in her heart."
"What knots?" Jiang Yue asked.
Xue Yan replied, "Before my eldest uncle married her, he had thought about marrying my mother."
Jiang Yue broke into a sweat instantly. This was so melodramatic...
"However, at that time, my maternal family's conditions were pretty good in the area of ten miles and eight villages. My maternal grandfather said that if someone wanted to marry my mother, the dowry had to be quite substantial, at least for our area. The eldest uncle had the intention but not enough dowry to offer, so he let the idea go without even sending someone to ask. He then married the eldest uncle's wife, whose family was not that well off."
Jiang Yue listened quietly.
