Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1792: Chapter 1330: Everyone Is Charmed by Your Cuteness_3

"Comparing people just makes you mad. What’s the point? I, for one, don’t bother comparing myself with the Kang Family—I’m just focused on living my own life well!"

"Your daughters-in-law are always arguing, petty quarrels every three days, big fights every two—your house is just a mess of feathers everywhere. If you don’t split up, don’t even dream of living a good life."

"Your daughters-in-law aren’t quiet either, plenty of fuss over there."

"Okay, okay, big sister, all our families are about the same, let’s not laugh at each other!"

...

Cui the Loudspeaker, Wang Chunhua, and Li Daniu were standing together, chit-chatting as usual, but this time, all three of them were feeling a bit sour inside.

"Must be that the Kang Family’s ancestral grave has good feng shui."

Right after Li Daniu said that, Cui the Loudspeaker asked, "What do you mean?"

"Are you really clueless or just pretending?"

Li Daniu rolled her eyes at Cui the Loudspeaker and said, "Look, the Kang Family’s first branch has three college students and two from technical schools now. The second branch—need I say more? The third branch has two undergraduates, one from a junior college, and one from a tech school too. In our village, or in the surrounding villages, is there a family like the Kang Family? Whenever they have a college student, it’s like they come in bunches. With a family like theirs, if folks say they’re not living well, not even ghosts would believe it."

"I never said the Kang Family wasn’t living well."

Cui the Loudspeaker felt bewildered. Not to mention the first and third branches—just the second branch living in that big villa, that’s enough to make folks in the surrounding villages jealous and envious. If they weren’t doing well, everyone would have to be blind.

"Daniu, what you said isn’t quite right. The Kang Family’s first, second, and third branches are all thriving!"

Wang Chunhua said, "The first branch already has three working out of town, plus a village head at home—how could they be struggling? The second branch doesn’t even need to be discussed, everyone can see for themselves. The third branch now also has two working outside. Anyway, in all the surrounding villages, nobody’s family can hold a candle to the Kang Family."

Li Daniu: "..."

Cui the Loudspeaker: "I think the Kang Family wouldn’t have what they do today without Kang Li’s help, don’t you two agree?"

"Kang Li’s helped, sure, but you also have to admit the Kang Family’s kids are sharp. One after another, they got into schools and landed secure jobs, eating off the state—no wonder their days just get better and better."

Wang Chunhua watched as Kang Guozhu led the grandchildren, one after another kneeling and bowing to Grandpa Kang, offering their birthday blessings. The envy in her eyes was about to spill over. She wondered if, when she reached Grandpa Kang’s age, her own children and grandchildren would throw her such a lively birthday celebration.

The birthday ceremony was hosted by Kang Guosheng. Originally, each branch of the Kang Family nominated Kang Li, but she refused, saying Kang Guosheng’s voice was loud and clear, perfect for hosting. She’d just be in charge of taking group photos.

Once she made up her mind, naturally, Kang Guosheng took up the job as the host for the birthday ceremony.

The sons, grandchildren finished paying their respects to Grandpa Kang, then it was the great-grandchildren’s turn. When all three "Tangzi" kids followed their older brothers and sisters to bow to Grandpa Kang, because they were dressed like little round balls, as soon as they knelt, they all toppled right over onto the red carpet. Everyone burst out laughing.

But the three Tangzi kids were unfazed. They didn’t need their brothers and sisters to help them, each climbed up on their own and carefully knelt down again.

They bowed three times, and each time the three little ones tumbled, keeping the laughter rolling. Even Kang Li taking pictures on the side was grinning till her eyes squinted.

Tangzi, Tangyuan, and Guoguo kept their faces tense. Although they tried to look calm, they’re still just kids, and felt so embarrassed after all this. So, after giving Grandpa Kang their birthday wishes in their sweet little voices, they were picked up by Mingrui, Minghan, and Mingwei, immediately burying their little heads into their siblings’ shoulders, not daring to look at the laughing adults.

Guoguo: "Sis! Sis, please carry me away from here!"

Mingwei tried not to laugh and asked, "Why?"

"I... I’m so embarrassed. Sis, please take me back to Grandma and Grandpa’s house. If I stay here any longer, I’ll feel really awkward!"

Guoguo wrapped her arms around Mingwei’s neck, her milky voice muffled and obviously shy—she thought she’d made a real fool of herself!

"Don’t worry, honey, it’s fine. No one means any harm—they’re laughing because they think you’re cute."

Mingwei gently soothed little Guoguo.

Guoguo asked, "Us? Did Fourth and Fifth Brother topple over too?"

"You didn’t see?"

Mingwei asked with a smile.

"I didn’t notice."

Guoguo said in a small voice, "After I fell, I got up and was just focused on kneeling properly. I didn’t look at Fourth and Fifth Brother. But I must be so clumsy—I gave Grandpa Kang a bow and took a tumble every time! Sis, but I didn’t cry!"
