Cai Xiufen laughed and said, "They often do this. I’ve talked to Yanqing many tis, telling him not to spoil Li Bao too much. You guess what Li Bao said?" Before Captain Kang and the others could respond, Cai Xiufen directly gave the answer: "Li Bao said who else should Yanqing be good to if not her."
Kang Guosheng: "That’s a valid point."
Big Brother Kang: "Exactly."
Third Brother Kang and Fourth Brother Kang nodded in agreent.
Kang Guoan: "Li Bao is quite right."
"When Li Bao goes out, Yanqing always helps her put on a mask, gloves, and scarf, always going along with Li Bao. Yet, Li Bao still often glares at him. I can’t stand it, so I tell Li Bao off, but then Yanqing speaks up for Li Bao. I really can’t do anything about them."
As Cai Xiufen spoke, she glanced at her precious daughter, making Kang Li feel utterly embarrassed.
Luo Yanqing: "Mom, Li Bao is great. I just help her with small things. As for always agreeing with her, that’s because she’s always right."
"Can you stop talking?" Kang Li glared at Luo Yanqing. What’s he doing? Can’t he see mom is teasing her and the brothers are having fun at her expense?
"Okay, I’ll keep my mouth shut."
Luo Yanqing’s eyes were filled with affection as he truly fell silent.
Kang Li noticed the teasing gazes of her brothers, and the temperature on her face instantly rose to a new height.
Captain Kang: "Outside, you need to give your man so face."
Kang Li was about to speak when Luo Yanqing said, "Dad, rest assured. Xiao Li always gives face outside, and even at ho, Xiao Li never fights with ."
Upon hearing this, Captain Kang’s mouth twitched as if to say more, but Kang Guoan chuckled and spoke up, "Dad, you can rest easy. Everything brother-in-law said is true. My mom can vouch for it."
Cai Xiufen chid in at the right mont: "Little Wu is right. Li Bao and Yanqing are like... willing to give and take!"
"Mom, it’s Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai; one willing to hit and one willing to take," Kang Guoan said with a grin. Hearing this, Cai Xiufen clapped her hands, her face full of smiles: "Yes, that’s the saying." After a pause, with an affectionate look in her eyes, Cai Xiufen added, "Since neither of them have objections, let them be."
The five brothers all nodded at Captain Kang, fully supporting their mother’s stance.
"You all just spoil her too much!"
Captain Kang helplessly shook his head.
"As if you don’t spoil Li Bao yourself?!" Cai Xiufen rolled her eyes at Captain Kang: "Besides, has Li Bao ever beco spoiled because we pamper her too much?"
Shaking his head, Captain Kang confidently said, "No, she hasn’t."
"You know she hasn’t; then what’s there to say?" Glancing at Captain Kang with annoyance, Cai Xiufen snorted and said, "In our surrounding villages, there’s no more obedient and sensible daughter than our Li Bao!"
Captain Kang, showing a good attitude of admitting fault, said, "Yes, yes, I was wrong. Can you, this old lady, stop being so relentless?"
"Can’t be bothered with you."
Turning away, Cai Xiufen didn’t even look at Captain Kang. Seeing this, Luo Yanqing, Kang Li, and the others couldn’t help but chuckle.
...
As the clock struck midnight, Captain Kang raised his hand to shoo them away: "Hurry back to your own rooms to rest. Us two old bones need to sleep."
"We’re leaving now!"
Big Brother Kang said as he climbed off the kang bed, followed by Kang Guosheng, Third Brother Kang, Fourth Brother Kang, Kang Guoan, Kang Li, and Luo Yanqing, who all got up one after another. But before that, they all simultaneously knelt on the kang bed, facing Captain Kang and his wife, bowed to wish them a healthy body and a happy New Year!
