"This is my family, the child is my niece," He Wenjie said. Actually, He Wenjie and Shazhu's brother and sister were still considered relatives, though rather distant ones. When He Daqing had left, He Wenjie's family was quite well-off and frequently helped out Shazhu's family. Later on, however, He Wenjie had a falling out with the Jia family, and Shazhu, for Qin Huairu's sake, spoke up on behalf of the Jias, prompting He Wenjie to curse him out. From then on, their relationship gradually grew distant, though He Yushui's relationship with He Wenjie had always remained good.
"Your niece?" Shazhu asked dubiously.
"My eldest sister-in-law's child. Her parents passed away in an accident not long ago, leaving the child with no one to look after her, so she'll be living with me from now on."
