Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 925: Chapter 924: Family Matters

Min Rui and Ming Wei also greeted their cousins in the same way.

“Grandma, little aunt…”

Led by Kang Yiheng, the cousins all greeted Cai Xiufen and Kang Li with smiles.

“Why haven’t I seen your Third Brother?”

Except for the nephews of the second family, who weren’t at home, the first family was missing the second and third brothers. The third and fourth families were all present, and the second brother of the first family, Kang Yichen, was at Second Brother Kang’s place. This left only the third brother of the first family, Kang Yihong, missing at home.

Kang Li found it strange and couldn’t help but ask Kang Yiheng.

“He’s lying in bed!”

Kang Yiheng dropped his smile and said, “My third brother is being stubborn. He doesn’t listen to my grandpa or my parents and has been locking himself in his room lately.”

“Did something happen?”

Kang Li looked puzzled.

“Little aunt, you better ask my third brother.”

Out of the blue, he started talking about wanting to marry Educated Youth Yan from the Educated Youth Spot, saying she was pregnant with his child and that he wants to take responsibility. How did this happen?

He was preparing for the college entrance exams day and night at home, rarely went out even after the exams, so how did he end up getting involved with a female educated youth?

Kang Yiheng really couldn’t understand what his third brother was thinking, wanting to bring trouble on himself.

Kang Li raised an eyebrow, “Are you saying you can’t talk about it?”

Kang Yiyang replied, “Hmm.”

“Alright, I understand,” Kang Li laughed and followed the family members into the courtyard.

“It’s warm on the bed, let’s all sit up there.”

In the main room, Captain Kang looked at Luo Yanqing, Zhou Heng, and Zhang Lei, then turned his gaze to Kang Li’s mother and the others: “Li Bao, take the children and sit on the bed too.”

“I’m not cold.”

Kang Li shook her head.

“Li Bao, listen to our dad, go sit on the bed, we’ll start eating in a moment.” Elder sister-in-law Kang, wearing an apron, said with a smile: “Dad had me and your third sister-in-law specially make a pot of stewed meat for when you came back to eat!”

Kang Li: “No wonder I smelled meat as soon as I entered the courtyard.” She said, turning her gaze to Cai Xiufen: “Mom, you take a break. I’ll go to the kitchen to help elder and third sister-in-law.”

But before Cai Xiufen could speak, Elder sister-in-law Kang waved her hand: “No need for you to help, you and our mom can rest, both stoves are on. One has big white steamed buns, the other has meat stewing…”

Listening to Elder sister-in-law Kang, Kang Li’s eyes were full of smiles: “Just hearing that makes me hungry, it seems I have to eat more at dinner.”

“You’re at your own home, eat to your heart’s content!”

Elder sister-in-law Kang was straightforward, saying this, she looked at Third sister-in-law Kang: “The buns should be ready, check the time, and take them out if they’re done.”

Chapter 926

Upon hearing this, Third sister-in-law Kang went straight to the kitchen without another word.

Anyway, when Kang Li and her group entered the house, it was already 4:15 in the afternoon, and during winter, it got dark early, especially since Aoli Village was in the mountains, making it dark earlier than outside.

For example, it was just past four now, but the sky was already getting dark, and almost every household in the village was preparing dinner at this time.

Thus, Kang Li and her group returned home just in time.

Dinner was sweet potato cornmeal with big white steamed buns and stewed pork with cabbage and vermicelli.

The whole family, along with Zhou Heng and Zhang Lei, were all very satisfied with the meal.

After the meal, Kang Li followed Elder sister-in-law Kang and Third sister-in-law Kang to the kitchen to clean up. Meanwhile, before she could ask about her nephew, Kang Yihong, Elder sister-in-law Kang went ahead and told her everything.

At this moment, Kang Li paused wiping the water stains off the bowls with a cloth, quite incredulous: “Yihong insists that the female educated youth’s child is his?”

Elder sister-in-law Kang, full of worries, nodded: “He’s so stubborn. No matter how I or your big brother ask, he just keeps saying the child is his and that he wants to marry Educated Youth Yan.”

Kang Li: “So, before Yihong brought up marrying Educated Youth Yan, no one in the family noticed any interaction between him and Educated Youth Yan?”

Elder sister-in-law Kang: “Before and after the exams, he was mostly home, even if he went out, he was always accompanied by a few young ones.”

Kang Li: “So, he was never alone?”

Elder sister-in-law Kang nodded again.

After a moment of silence, Kang Li asked about Educated Youth Yan: “What kind of person is Educated Youth Yan?”

“Among the female educated youth, she’s considered pretty,” Third sister-in-law Kang said while scrubbing the pot: “She seems gentle and weak, doesn’t talk much, and is not very sociable.”

Elder sister-in-law Kang: “She seems like a decent girl, but when I or your third sister-in-law asked her questions, she just started crying, which made us very uncomfortable.”
