Aunt Kang would always bring delicious food for all of us to share together, and the braids she makes are so pretty; my sisters and I absolutely love them. Aunt Kang tells us stories and instructs us to be honest, obedient, and studious children. Aunt Kang never speaks ill of others."
Wen Yu blinked her bright eyes and looked up at the adults, raising her little voice, "Lying and speaking ill will make your nose grow long, that’s what Aunt Kang said, Little Fish is a good child, who doesn’t lie or speak ill!"
"Did you hear that? That’s what Wen Yue and the others said themselves. Besides, I’m not so idle, nor do I have the inclination to gossip about others, particularly in front of children about their elders, in order to disrupt family harmony."
Kang Li said in a clear and cold voice as she glared at Su Man, "As for the two young n you ntioned, I saved their lives. I personally took them to the hospital, or else their fate would have been grim. They ran into when I was taking Ruirui and the others to school as a way of expressing their gratitude for saving them, so I brought them ho with . What’s so secretive about that? If you have doubts, you’re welco to investigate. Those who know about this include not only my godparents but also Professor Luo and the police comrades outside the institute’s gate."
All around fell into silence.
Su Man opened her mouth but didn’t know how to defend herself.
"Let’s go to the police station. I really don’t want to be bitten like a mad dog by you anymore!"
Ignoring Su Man’s struggles, Kang Li grabbed her arm and marched off.
"Li Bao, you this..."
Mrs. Qi hurried over.
"Godmother, give Comrade Wen a call, or else his children might have no one to look after them." After pausing and speaking to Mrs. Qi, Kang Li continued on her way.
Su Man "Let go! I don’t want to go to the police station! Do you hear ?"
Kang Li, however, paid her no mind.
The onlooking neighbors whispered among themselves as they saw Kang Li pulling Su Man away.
It was then that Mrs. Qi approached Cai Xiufen and asked, "Older sister, what exactly happened here?"
Cai Xiufen recounted the events without exaggeration, then, with an indignant expression, she said, "Li Bao is a kind soul, but that doesn’t an people should bully her just because she’s nice. Third Sister, we must have an explanation for today’s incident; I cannot let my daughter be vilified and defad like this!"
"This Xiao Su really knows how to stir up trouble!"
Mrs. Qi wore a frosty expression, and right then, Fang Ju brought over Su Man’s son. "Comrade Qi, look at this..." Glancing at the little one in her arms and then at the Wen Yue sisters, Fang Ju’s intention was clear—she was asking Mrs. Qi how to deal with the four children.
"Let’s go to my place first."
Without giving it much thought, Mrs. Qi said so.
Fang Ju nodded, understanding that this was the only option for now.
After Mrs. Qi and Fang Ju took the Wen Yue sisters away, Cai Xiufen also took Ruirui and the others ho.
The neighbors who were enjoying the drama hadn’t dispersed yet, and now they were really getting into the discussion.
"Even a clay man has a temper; it seems Xiao Su really got on Xiao Kang’s last nerve this ti!"
"It’s all because Xiao Su is too lodramatic!"
"Xiao Kang must have been really angry this ti to take serious action."
"Wouldn’t you be angry if you were in her shoes?"
"Yeah, Xiao Su is really out of line. Xiao Kang never provoked her, yet she ranted at the family like a madwoman, even calling Xiao Kang promiscuous. She isn’t afraid that Professor Luo will hear these words?"
