Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Saying One Thing and aning Another
Mo Yan: “What do you think?” Picking up a big pork bun, Mo Yan bit into it. “Delicious.”
“Of course it’s delicious, it’s bought by my sister.”
Feng Yi also picked up a big pork bun and began to eat. Unexpectedly, he heard Mo Yan say, “I’ve noticed that you’re becoming more and more skilled, not only clingy and good at networking, but also childish.”
“When did I network?”
Feng Yi glared.
Mo Yan: “You didn’t network? In just a short ti you’ve acknowledged a new sister for yourself?”
“Sister Kang Li is Uncle Song’s and Mother Qi’s goddaughter, so she’s my sister too,” Feng Yi said, sowhat childishly, puffing up indignantly, “I know you’re envious of , but there’s nothing you can do about it. That’s just because you’re not .”
Mo Yan, with a slightly stunned expression: “…You won’t even admit you’re being childish. Look at you, I’ve never seen such a childish brat!”
“I may be a brat, but so are you!”
Feng Yi retorted.
“Forget it, I’m your brother. I’ll let you off this once and not argue with you anymore.” Shaking his head, Feng Yi held a bun in his left hand and another in his right, taking big bites from each in turn.
Feng Yi was shocked: “There’s no need to do that, I’m not competing with you.” Sister had bought eight big pork buns, after all, and he felt two would be plenty for him, especially with a big bowl of wontons as well.
“Less talking, more eating.”
Even though he barely managed to get a al with him, that brat always ate so politely, as if he were a young master from a wealthy old society family.
Pampered and sheltered, he couldn’t even fight, and he was picky and childish, a complete silly, sweet fool.
Yet Mo Yan found it hard to believe—that Feng Yi’s parents could ever treat Feng Yi poorly.
…
Aoli Village.
“Your daughter sure knows how to spend money!”
Captain Kang had just collected Kang Li’s package from the post office and opened it when he heard his wife muttering: “Haven’t we told her? There’s nothing we lack at ho, but she just wouldn’t listen to us.”
“Our daughter is filial, I know you’re happy about it deep down, so stop going on about ‘your daughter’ as if Li Bao isn’t your daughter too,” said Captain Kang.
Captain Kang took out several envelopes from the box, found the letter his precious daughter had written to him, and began to read it.
Cai Xiufen’s mouth twitched, and she asked, “What did Li Bao say in her letter?” Stubborn old man, she was just making a casual remark, was there a need to show her up in front of the whole family?
“Our daughter is asking after our wellbeing, saying it’s getting cooler and she sent us so thermal underwear, and also…”
Captain Kang glanced at his children and grandchildren surrounding him and didn’t intend to continue, but, finding all eyes on him, he reluctantly went on:
“Li Bao sent us so coupons and certificates, including a sewing machine coupon, a bicycle coupon, a radio coupon, and a few cloth coupons… Li Bao said that the few pieces of dowry we had prepared for her cost quite a bit, not just money, but also the trouble of getting those coupons…”
Before Captain Kang could finish, Big Brother Kang spoke up: “Li Bao is overthinking it. Preparing her dowry was our family’s duty. Even if it was hard to get those coupons, there’s no need for her to worry about us that much.”
“Right, Dad, why not send those sewing machine, bicycle, and radio coupons back to Li Bao? After all, we had to pay up for those coupons. Now, keeping the coupons she sent us is pointless.”
Third Brother Kang expressed his opinion.
In his view, the more sensible his sister Li Bao beca, the more it tugged at his heartstrings.
