Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1619: Chapter 1287

"Alright, you go rest in your room too." Cai Xiufen nodded with a smile, "Then you quickly get some sleep, I’m leaving now." With that, she got down from the edge of the kang.

Kang Li murmured an acknowledgment, watching Cai Xiufen leave the room, and then she lay back under the covers.

...

"Is Li Bao asleep?"

Cai Xiufen returned to the room she shared with Captain Kang, and even before she could speak, Captain Kang asked her, and she nodded, "When I went over, Li Bao was already lying down."

"Did you mention anything about the color TV to Li Bao?"

Seeing Cai Xiufen lie down on the kang, Captain Kang pulled the lamp cord, plunging the room into darkness as he casually asked Cai Xiufen another question.

"What’s there to ask?" Cai Xiufen rolled her eyes in the dark and said, "Li Bao bought that TV to save face for us. If you want me to fork out the money for the TV, aren’t you worried that our daughter will have a grudge against us? That she’ll feel we’re treating her like an outsider, not as our own daughter?"

Captain Kang felt wronged, "I just don’t want Li Bao to spend so much. After all, she has many kids at home and also has to pitch in to build roads, schools, and factories on our side. There are so many expenses. If we can save her some money, we should."

"Li Bao was able to show filial piety by buying that big color TV for us, which just shows it wasn’t a big deal for her. Don’t worry about it unnecessarily." Cai Xiufen said, pausing momentarily before continuing, "Now that Li Bao’s true story has been revealed, if we suddenly start keeping track of everything, with our daughter’s cleverness, she’d definitely overthink it."

Captain Kang felt even more wronged, "How many times do I have to say it? I’m just trying to lighten our daughter’s burden a bit, but you keep twisting my words. I really can’t understand what you women think about all day."

Turning over, Captain Kang went from lying on his back to lying on his side, facing away from Cai Xiufen, "Li Bao is our daughter whom we raised from childhood. This fact can’t be changed by anyone!"

As he spoke, Captain Kang’s tone noticeably intensified.

Cai Xiufen chuckled, "Alright, alright, I misunderstood you. But why does our Li Bao like to quietly do such big things? During New Year’s she gave us quite a surprise, and now she returns home and, without us knowing, buys a big color TV for our parents. Told Guozhu it was our way of honoring them. To tell the truth, when Guozhu mentioned it, I felt so proud!"

Hearing these words, Captain Kang remained silent, but in his heart, he felt the same as Cai Xiufen.

When he heard Kang Guozhu’s words, especially with the brothers all present, he also felt a sense of pride in that moment.

Big Uncle Kang’s House.

"The second brother and his wife know how to raise kids better than we do." Lying on the kang, Big Uncle Kang hadn’t yet fallen asleep and casually remarked. In response, Sun Fengzhu didn’t feel any dissatisfaction. After all, she was nearly seventy, an old woman by now, what could she not let go of? But hearing her husband sigh repeatedly, Sun Fengzhu couldn’t help but say, "You’re right, the second brother and his wife indeed raise kids better than we do, but there are other reasons too. Do you want to know?"

Undoubtedly, Sun Fengzhu was Big Aunt Kang’s name.

Big Uncle Kang said, "If you want to say something, just say it."

"Second brother’s brain is sharper than yours, so naturally, their offspring are of higher quality." Hearing this, Big Uncle Kang didn’t think he’d still feel disheartened in his old age.

There was a moment of silence before Big Uncle Kang spoke, "You’re right, ever since I was young, I was never as quick as the second brother or the third brother."

"Alright, alright, I was just saying it offhand. At our age, talking about this won’t do anything but make us uncomfortable. Besides, back then with Li Bao’s help in tutoring, our family did produce two college students, and in these past few years, there’s been another one. Ultimately, this is all thanks to Li Bao, and we should remember the good she’s done."

Sun Fengzhu said calmly, while Big Uncle Kang listened in silence beside her.

"You’re staying quiet because you think I’m wrong, don’t you?"

Asked this by his old wife, Big Uncle Kang hurriedly responded, "You are right."

"I wasn’t wrong at all. Plus, today, Li Bao not only had a big color TV delivered to our house but also bought presents for our whole family, especially for us, the big uncle and aunt, as if she was honoring her parents, giving us each a new set of clothes. I don’t know what the third brother’s family thinks, but as for me, I feel both gratified and a little guilty."

"Then just be good to Li Bao."

"When have I ever not been good to Li Bao? Now we know Li Bao wasn’t born to the third brother and his wife, but in my view, it doesn’t really matter, right?"
