Grandma Shen rolled her eyes and stormed into the house.
Third Uncle Shen followed behind her.
Grandma Shen said to him, "Why are you following me? Normally, you don't even have time to come over for a cup of tea, do you?"
"Mom—" Third Uncle Shen swallowed hard, "I just ran into Second Brother on the road. He mentioned Jiayin's dowry to me."
Apparently, this matter was stirred up by Shen Mao'an yesterday at Sister You's store; it couldn't be kept a secret anymore. Grandma Shen had intended to deal with Sister You herself, keeping it from Third Uncle since his family was struggling to make ends meet.
"Second Brother and I are both her uncles. Eldest Brother died young, Sister-in-law passed away too. As uncles, we ought to take responsibility and handle this matter for her. Make sure her wedding is grand, so she won't be looked down upon by her husband's family and won't suffer grievances." Third Uncle Shen said.
