Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1804 - 1333: Did You Really Say That? (3)

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Cai Xiufen shot Kang Li another glare, then said, "What your mother means is, your grandfather and father only have you and a few kids left in the world. When you have time, take the children and spend more time with them. Don’t always fuss over being perfectly fair, worrying that your dad and I will be upset."

"Mom, you make it sound like I’m the Fairness Master!"

Kang Li let out a laugh: "I never once worried about you and Dad getting upset—after all, you both dote on me and love me the most, you’d never bear to get mad at me."

"You little devil!"

Cai Xiufen looked at Kang Li, her voice full of affection: "Your mom knows you’re filial to us, but don’t take what I just said lightly."

"Alright, I’ll listen to whatever you say."

Kang Li nodded with a smile.

Cai Xiufen’s eyes were full of helplessness. She shook her head, then changed the topic: "Did you notice your fifth sister-in-law has changed recently?"

"Mm."

Kang Li nodded: "I have noticed her change. But that’s a good thing."

Cai Xiufen didn’t respond right away; she frowned slightly and asked, "Don’t you think it’s all a bit sudden?"

"Maybe she finally got the nonsense out of her head."

Hearing that, Cai Xiufen couldn’t help but widen her eyes: "I see you’re determined to misbehave today! What do you mean, your fifth sister-in-law finally got the nonsense out of her head?"

Kang Li chuckled: "Fine, fine, I’ll talk properly. I mean, maybe she figured things out herself, so she’s not as stubborn as before."

"To this day, I still don’t understand what your fifth sister-in-law was so hung up about."

Cai Xiufen said, "Our family’s from the countryside. When she and your brother met, your brother never hid anything from her. Besides, even if we’re from the village, all of you are out in the world, so what’s she feeling so awkward about? Has she always been worried that your dad, me, your big brother, second, third, and fourth brother, and even you would suck your little brother dry, or come mooch from her and your brother’s little home?"

"It’s not like that."

Kang Li denied Cai Xiufen’s theory, and said, "I think she was just jealous."

"What? Your fifth sister-in-law was jealous? Jealous of who?"

Cai Xiufen’s eyes widened, completely confused.

"Jealous of me, of course. She probably felt like my little brother treated me too well and didn’t pay enough attention to her."

Kang Li’s tone was light: "Honestly, she’s not scheming or malicious or anything, she just really loves my little brother, that’s all."

She loves him so much she wants to have him all to herself, so of course she didn’t want to see Jiang Guoan being good to his little sister.

"..."

Cai Xiufen’s face fell: "She really knows how to make trouble! Married and all, and her mind’s still full of this nonsense?"

Kang Li didn’t say anything.

Cai Xiufen asked, "Did your fifth sister-in-law tell you this?"

Kang Li: "What?"

Cai Xiufen: "That your little brother treats you too well, and it made her uncomfortable?"

Upon hearing that, Kang Li shook her head: "No, I just guessed it myself, but I think I’m right. Anyway, she’s figured it out now. She won’t be so stubborn with her words and actions in the future."

"You don’t have to make excuses for your fifth sister-in-law."

Cai Xiufen still didn’t look very happy: "What’s wrong with your little brother being good to you? Why does she have to compete with you over this? If you ask me, she’s just bored and making trouble for nothing!"

"Mom, don’t forget, my fifth sister-in-law is also the only daughter in her family, just like me—she’s very spoiled at home too."

Kang Li smiled: "You know, I can understand her. After all, children brought up being doted on tend to be willful, always thinking everyone should revolve around them. Then suddenly, in a new environment, she discovered that the people around her are nice to someone else and doesn’t see her as the center of everything. It’s only natural that she couldn’t accept it right away."

"I never saw you being that willful."

Cai Xiufen eyed Kang Li sidelong. Seeing this, Kang Li grinned: "I’m willful when you’re not looking, Mom. Let’s put it this way: if Luo Yanqing ever dared to be good to another woman—better than he is to me—I’d kick up a fuss just like my fifth sister-in-law makes trouble for my little brother.

Mom, that’s called possessiveness. If I didn’t get upset, it’d mean I didn’t care about Luo Yanqing. If that was the case, Luo Yanqing could be good to whoever and I wouldn’t care. That’s probably what was going on with fifth sister-in-law before."

Cai Xiufen: "Even if you have a point, then what’s with your fifth sister-in-law’s attitude toward the rest of the family? Don’t tell me she’s even jealous of your dad, me, and your big brothers—like your little brother shouldn’t be good to us, either?"

Kang Li: "Well..." Stumped by Cai Xiufen’s words, Kang Li didn’t know what excuse to make for Wang Pan for a moment.

Cai Xiufen: "Nothing to say now, huh?"

"Mom... Sometimes it’s okay to be a bit muddleheaded. Let’s just let bygones be bygones. Life’s about looking forward. Now that fifth sister-in-law’s turning over a new leaf, let’s stop talking and guessing about this. No need to make it harder for my little brother, being caught between her and the rest of us."

"You! You’re just too soft-hearted!"

Cai Xiufen was a little exasperated: "You were picked on for no reason and you just let it go. Now you’re even making excuses for her. Honestly, you’re such a big dummy!"

"Mom! I’m angry now!"

Kang Li acted upset on purpose: "You say I’m too soft, then call me a big dummy—now my heart, liver, and lungs all hurt. What am I supposed to do, huh?"
