Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Just Be Sour! Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Just Be Sour! Kang Li looked at the man, smiled, and said no more.
On one side, the young couple exchanged glances, a faint and unusual emotion lingering in their hearts; on the other, in Aoli Village, Captain Kang hung up the phone, a beaming smile spread across his face as he walked out of the Team Leader’s office.
“Team Leader, your Li Bao is really capable. It wasn’t long after her marriage that she sent a TV set back to your family. If my daughter had that ability, I would wake up laughing from my dreams!”
“Mu Laosan, it looks like we’ll only be left with envy in this lifeti. After all, among all our daughters, there’s none who looks like a fairy quite like Li Bao. She had just stepped into her husband’s family’s ho and already her son-in-law dotes on her, allowing Li Bao to send a TV set to Captain Kang’s house!”
Hearing these sour words, Captain Kang didn’t get angry in the slightest; the smile on his face remained: “Look at how sour you all are. But you’re all wrong. That TV set at my place wasn’t sent by Li Bao, it was my son-in-law who bought it to show his respect to and Li Bao’s mother.”
Just be sour about it!
Each and every one of them spent their days waiting to see a joke out of his family, waiting for Li Bao to beco unable to stand being a stepmother and run back ho in tears. Now, they were the ones who got sour, and the thought alone was satisfying!
Watching Captain Kang’s retreating figure, the middle-aged n standing by the village road chattering couldn’t help but feel a face full of jealousy.
After a while, one of them said, “Do you think what the Team Leader said is true?”
“Who doesn’t know Captain Kang? He’s never been one to brag or lie.”
“So you’re saying… that TV set in Captain Kang’s house really was sent by Li Bao’s son-in-law out of respect for the two old folks?”
“It can’t be fake.”
Soone sighed, “You know, those won gossip about Captain Kang’s family all day, saying that who knows when Li Bao would co back to the village crying. They laughed at Li Bao for being a stepmother, thinking Captain Kang’s family was pushing their daughter into a pit of fire. Now they probably have nothing to say, right?”
“Won with long hair but short on wisdom, what do those won know!”
As Captain Kang had gone out of sight, he naturally had no idea what discussions were happening behind his back about him and Kang Li.
“Did you ask clearly?”
In the short ti that Captain Kang went to the Team Leader’s office to call Kang Li, Big Brother Kang and Third Brother Kang, following their son’s (nephew’s) guidance, had already set up the antenna on the roof. At this mont, the family sat in the hall, each with gleaming eyes, watching the television program.
Of course, aside from their own family, many villagers and children had also co over.
In short, the spacious hall was filled with people.
“Did you ask?”
When Cai Xiufen saw Captain Kang walk into the hall, she imdiately called him into the room, “What did Li Bao say?”
“The TV was bought by the son-in-law, and he paid for it himself; it has nothing to do with Li Bao.” Captain Kang believed his precious daughter wouldn’t lie to him and besides, he felt there was no need for her to deceive him.
After all, a TV was not a trivial item, and his daughter, Li Bao, had beco sowhat more shrewd since going to North City, but she wouldn’t go as far as to buy a TV to gild her son-in-law’s image in the eyes of their family, to induce them to have a better impression of him.
Cai Xiufen was astonished, “The son-in-law bought it for us? Why would he do that?”
Captain Kang, “Li Bao said it’s a little token of our son-in-law’s regard for us.”
By the afternoon, when work was over, more and more villagers appeared at the Kang Family’s house to watch television, to the point where Captain Kang had to ask Big Brother Kang to move a table outside the hall’s door and place the TV on it.
n and won, young and old, crowded the entire yard. So even sat atop the wall or stood on stools to watch the television.
