Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1617: Chapter 1286:

One is eighty-eight this year, the other eighty-five. They need someone to support them when they walk, but their bodies are still fairly healthy, their spirits are fine too. Judging from their current health, as long as there are no accidents—like a fall or bumping into something—they can easily live for several more years.

Knowing the two old longevity stars have only a few teeth left, they need extra attention when it comes to food, so naturally, the lunch prepared for them was specially made by Third sister-in-law Kang.

"Grandpa, Grandma, have you eaten well?"

After lunch, Kang Li asked Grandpa Kang and Grandma Kang with a smiling face. The two old longevity stars both nodded happily. Seeing this, Kang Li said, "Then I’ll sit and chat with you for a bit, and send you to rest later."

Grandma Kang agreed repeatedly.

The sun in the yard was very warm. Kang Li sat with the two old longevity stars, basking in the sun while telling funny stories about Bun, Tangyuan, and Guoguo, and from time to time she talked about Min Rui, Ming Han, and Ming Wei’s studies.

And then whatever Grandpa Kang and Grandma Kang asked, Kang Li answered. She didn’t brush them off, nor did she show the slightest impatience.

"Your grandson-in-law’s work is busy, you have to be more understanding of him. You all have to live well out there!"

Holding Kang Li’s hand, Grandma Kang patted it lightly: "Your grandpa and I have never once had a big fight in this lifetime. When I first married your grandpa, my temper really wasn’t that good, but your grandpa always tolerated me, never lost his temper at me. Later on, my bad temper slowly changed."

Kang Li asked with a smile, "Why?" In fact, she was asking even though she already half knew the answer.

"Didn’t want your grandpa to have it so hard."

Grandma Kang seemed to sink into memories of the past, her expression a bit joyful as she said, "Your grandpa had to support the family, he worked very hard. But even so,

your grandpa wouldn’t let me do heavy or tiring work. If I still didn’t know what’s what, and kept throwing tantrums in front of him, that would be rather ungrateful."

"You old woman, what are you telling Li Bao all that for?"

Grandpa Kang glanced at Grandma Kang, then looked at Kang Li with loving eyes: "Your grandma is a good woman. When she was young, her temper was a bit big, but she was quick with her hands and feet, and always saw what needed doing.

Ever since she stepped through the Kang Family’s door, she was busy with the household, and also went down to the fields with me to work. After your eldest uncle, your dad, and your younger uncle were born, your grandma never had a moment’s rest,

still just as busy running around as when she first entered the Kang Family. When your great-grandpa and great-grandma got old and couldn’t move, she fed them meals and water, took care of them with all her heart, and never uttered a single word of complaint."

"I’m not as good as you say."

Grandma Kang glared at Grandpa Kang: "Besides, taking care of the old and the young, that’s my duty. And your parents treated me very well too. Who in our village didn’t envy me? They all said your parents treated me like their own daughter!"

"They doted on you because you’re good."

Grandpa Kang muttered under his breath.

In Grandpa Kang’s generation, his parents had only one child—him.

After Grandpa Kang married Grandma Kang, in just seven years, she had three children—and all three were big healthy boys.

His father and mother couldn’t have been more delighted.

Back to the point, what Grandpa Kang said was true. After Grandma Kang entered the Kang Family, Kang Li’s great-grandparents really did treat this daughter-in-law very well.

Suddenly, someone shouted out loud.

The next moment, everyone turned to look at the four cars driving in from afar. At the same time, drums and gongs were beating, yangge dancers twisting and turning—the scene was very lively.

"Li Bao, that sounds like gongs and drums, and it seems to be coming from our village’s direction."

Listening to the faint sound of gongs and drums in her ears, Cai Xiufen couldn’t help saying this to Kang Li.

"Most likely your Brother Guozhu stirred it up."

Captain Kang frowned: "What’s he making all that fuss for?"

"It probably wasn’t Brother Guozhu’s idea." Kang Li spoke up for her older cousin Kang Guozhu. She looked toward the village entrance through the car window. Although it wasn’t very clear, she could plainly see there were a lot of people, and she also saw two small cars parked out by the fields.

Having a rough idea in mind, Kang Li said, "Either it’s a decision made by the town leaders, or it’s something required by the county."

Cai Xiufen asked Kang Li, "Is this to welcome you?"

"It should be to welcome my dad and my grandpa. After all, they count as foreign investors. Of course, I might be counted in too, since your daughter here is going to put up money to do real things for the folks back home!"

As Kang Li spoke, she playfully blinked.

Seeing this, Cai Xiufen scolded with a smile, "Look how pleased with yourself you are!"

"I’m naturally good-looking." With both hands propping up her chin, Kang Li blinked her beautiful eyes at Cai Xiufen again: "Mom, take a good look, isn’t your daughter even prettier than a Fairy Girl?"
