Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1752 - 1321: Why Are You Worrying About This? (3)
Previously on Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All...
Looking at the two different employment contracts in front of me, I went ahead and signed the long-term one. I have no family, nowhere to go—so it doesn’t really matter where I am. But little did I know, the moment I first saw the master, I realized he’d once helped me. From that moment on, I silently vowed to dedicate my life to the Jiang Family."
"Is that why you never remarried, Aunt Fu?"
Ah Xiang asked.
"Mm."
Aunt Fu nodded. "I’ll never forget when I almost died on the roadside; there were crowds on the street, but nobody reached out to help me, as if I were something filthy. Only the young master, still just a youth, signaled the driver to stop. Once he asked about my situation, he ordered the driver to take me to the hospital and even paid a hefty fee for my stay. Honestly, it was the master who gave me a second life—otherwise, most likely, I’d have died there, and the street cleaner would’ve tossed me onto a garbage truck."
"I always thought I grew up having a hard life, and I felt miserable inside—but I didn’t realize you were also someone with a tough fate, Aunt Fu."
Ah Xiang said, pausing briefly before speaking again, "Aunt Fu, the old master, the young master, and Miss—they’re all wonderful people. Working for a family like this, we’re really blessed, don’t you think?"
The old master refers to Jiang Hongfa. When Bun and the other two were born, Jiang Hongfa had the household staff start calling him that, and told them to address Jiang Boya as ’Master’, though Jiang Boya stopped them and asked to simply be called ’Sir’.
Aunt Fu: "Absolutely. The family is good; they never make things difficult or scold us for no reason. Honestly, you could say we’re living happily under their roof—it’s a kind of luck they’ve given us."
Ah Xiang nodded vigorously, like pounding garlic.
"Aunt Fu, look—Ming Chen walking with his hands behind his back is so cute, isn’t it?!"
"Among the little masters at home, Ming Chen is definitely the liveliest."
Aunt Fu’s face was full of fondness, and she laughed as she spoke.
"Ming Han is pretty lively too, and I think Ming Chen and Ming Han’s personalities are kind of similar!"
"That’s true—they’re a bit alike."
Aunt Fu nodded.
...
The yard was spacious, so Kang Li and the three Buns were far from Aunt Fu and Ah Xiang, and couldn’t really hear what they were saying. At this moment, Kang Li glanced toward the kitchen, and the three Buns followed her gaze, then heard Kang Li say, "When you turn eight, you’ll have to learn everything about cooking—did you hear me?"
The three Buns all nodded their little heads. Ming Han said in his childish voice, "Mom wants us to be as good as our big brothers and sister."
"That’s right."
Kang Li nodded slightly, saying, "When your big brothers and sister were your age, they could already help mom sweep the floor, set the table before meals, and wipe down the dining table. At six, they learned to wash their own little socks..."
With a gentle voice, Kang Li shared stories of Min Rui, Ming Han, and Ming Wei growing up.
"Big brother, second brother, and sister are all so amazing!"
Guoguo’s dark eyes sparkled as if filled with crystal—she really admired her brothers and sister.
"Big brother is amazing, second brother and sister are amazing too!"
Min Rui chimed in, praising his siblings.
"Looks like you all understand—that’s great! The reason mom wants you to learn from your brothers and sister is so that, aside from learning school stuff, you can also learn how to take care of yourselves. Otherwise, when you leave mom one day and live on your own, you might not mess things up too badly, but being able to do things with your own hands is always better."
If you don’t know how to wash clothes, cook, or do simple chores, you can always hire a nanny or a cleaner as long as you have money—of course, your life won’t turn shabby. But occasionally doing things yourself is actually a way to relax, isn’t it?
For example, if you’ve been working for a long stretch and finally get some time off, you might not want outsiders around or want to order takeout—so just whipping up something yourself is a little thing you can do with your hands.
Plus, for close-fitting clothes, it’s not that you can’t have an auntie wash them, but it’s a matter of privacy. For someone with a cleanliness obsession, you probably wouldn’t even want to touch them anymore if someone else did.
All in all, a person who’s excellent in every way might not have to bother with all the little chores of life, but they should know how to do them and be able to do them if needed—that’s what Kang Li believes.
When she received her elite family education, she learned all sorts of things, covering every aspect.
And of course, everyday little things were part of the curriculum.
To make sure that if she ever encountered a sudden situation on her own with no one around to help, she wouldn’t starve or become a mess.
