She feigned surprise: "A woman? My uncle has always been devoted to my aunt, probably won't fancy anyone else in his lifetime."
I don't understand, nor do I believe.
Aunt Liu then started chatting with her about the local gossip from the past few days.
"That woman is a young wife, with a seven-year-old son. It's said her husband was abusive, and later drowned drunk in the river. The mother and son came to Nanxi City to seek refuge with her sister. I guess it's because her mother-in-law was difficult, so she ran away with her son.
She couldn't find her sister here and almost got swindled. Luckily, she met your uncle, and their money was saved. Who knows what that woman is thinking, but she stealthily followed your uncle and insists on repaying him. I fear she won't leave easily.
It's been half a month since they started living here. The child doesn't play with my grandchildren; the mother-and-son pair either stay home or go out, doing who knows what.
