Li Family listened to Lin Yue's words and initially didn't understand; she hadn't heard that Erhu had children, let alone several. But as the thought turned in her mind, she remembered that she had heard Erhu's husband had visited two previous wives, and those children must be left by Erhu's husband's former spouses. Given their ages, they should be about the same age as these two children. Her heart found the prospect pitiable, aware that being a stepmother was a challenging role. However, from the look and tone of Erhu, it seemed she was quite fond of those children, treating them as if they were her very own.
Li Family then inquired in detail about the situation at Lin Yue's husband's home and found out that Zhao Erhu's former wife had left not just children, but four sons, all capable of inheriting the family property. Her worries grew, and her smile lessened considerably.
