Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1795 - 1331: Jiang Li Gets Straight to the Point (Part 2)

As soon as He Hui said this, Kang Guosheng burst out laughing, "Looks like you and I are the same, both love to show off!"
He Hui also laughed when she heard that, then said, "Later I’ll ask Big Sister-in-law to call over Third Brother’s and Fourth Brother’s wives, and we’ll ask Li Bao how exactly we should buy in. Once Li Bao gives us a definite answer, and if the money we have isn’t enough, I’ll borrow some from my own family. What do you think?"
"Let’s do it this way."
The buy-in isn’t much. The two of them get paid salaries and do have some savings, though probably not a lot. Now that such an opportunity has come up, even borrowing money to buy more shares would be best.
After all, their second branch is just one son less than the big branch, and the big branch has been running a hotpot restaurant for years, making steady profits, so Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law are surely more comfortable financially than they are.
So this opportunity Li Bao’s offering—he’s grabbing it no matter what.
Otherwise, if their boys need money one day, as parents, they’d have nothing to offer.
Thinking of this, Kang Guosheng collected his thoughts and asked, "Why didn’t you mention Fifth Sister-in-law just now?"
"Didn’t want to. Got a problem with that?"
He Hui glanced at Kang Guosheng, then looked away.
"You don’t like Fifth Sister-in-law."
Not a question—Kang Guosheng just stated it.
"So what? I don’t even have the right to like or dislike someone?"
He Hui shot another look at Kang Guosheng, saying, "You haven’t forgotten what happened last Spring Festival, have you?"
Kang Guosheng: "You mean when Fifth Sister-in-law picked on Li Bao for no reason?"
"Was it just Li Bao? Did you not see, or what? She never has a smile for our mom and dad, same in front of us sisters-in-law, acting like she’s something special, and we’re all just plain folks, can’t measure up to her just because she’s a so-called real North City person."
He Hui really had zero fondness for Wang Pan. With a tone of disdain, she said, "Did she ever think, if not for Li Bao, would she even know Little Wu, let alone marry into our Kang Family? Always acting so petty, and right in front of us sisters-in-law, talking bad about Li Bao—makes no sense at all!"
After a brief pause, He Hui went on, "Just wait and see. If she doesn’t change that rotten temper, sooner or later, Little Wu will divorce her."
"Don’t talk nonsense!"
Divorce isn’t child’s play, it doesn’t sound good to say it out loud—Kang Guosheng’s face turned serious: "Maybe she’s just young still. As her sister-in-law, you’ve got plenty of other younger sisters-in-law, don’t stoop to her level.
Besides, Little Wu got married right after college; it’s normal for them to take time getting used to each other. Give it a few years, Fifth Sister-in-law will change. When you talk to Big Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law, and Fourth Sister-in-law about buying in, better call Little Wu’s wife along too—no need to stir up trouble for nothing."
"Look at you, all worked up! I know where the line is."
He Hui said, noticing Kang Guosheng still looked stern, and couldn’t help but burst out laughing: "Alright, alright, I really know where the line is. It’s almost New Year’s, I don’t want the whole family in a bad mood because of Little Wu’s wife. But honestly, I just don’t like her, I think she’s clueless—I really don’t know how Little Wu ended up with her."
Kang Guosheng: "No one’s perfect, nothing’s flawless, everyone’s got strengths and weaknesses. Maybe to Little Wu, Fifth Sister-in-law’s faults don’t even count as faults, but..."
"Stop right there!"
He Hui cut Kang Guosheng off, saying, "Can you stop lying through your teeth? The way I see it, Little Wu’s wife is just plain clueless. Li Bao and her were classmates, and just for that, as a younger sister-in-law, she shouldn’t make trouble, picking fights with Li Bao. Besides, if Li Bao gets along perfectly fine with Big Sister-in-law, me, Third Sister-in-law, and Fourth Sister-in-law, how could she possibly treat Fifth Sister-in-law badly?
Getting to this point, He Hui sneered, "Calling her clueless is being nice—she’s really just someone who ’picks up the bowl to eat, puts it down to curse her mother.’ Shameless and despicable!"
"Can you not insult people?"
Kang Guosheng had a headache: "Have some consideration for Little Wu."
"Little Wu can’t hear us."
He Hui didn’t care: "Even if Little Wu were here, I don’t think I’m wrong."
"How about I talk to Little Wu, ask him to manage his wife?"
As soon as Kang Guosheng said that, He Hui rolled her eyes at him: "If you want Fifth Sister-in-law’s wife to glare at you and talk nasty, be my guest."
"My bad."
Kang Guosheng admitted his mistake, knowing he hadn’t thought that through just now.
...
"This is a good thing, I have no reason to say no."
In Third Brother’s room, after hearing about buying in, Third Sister-in-law stated her attitude right away. She continued, "Those clothing designs Li Bao gave me earlier, they’re still in style. I used to consider turning our little garment workshop into something bigger. Now, with Li Bao starting a clothing factory, I don’t have to rack my brains anymore."
