Chapter 1783: Chapter 1328: I Never Had the Chance_3

Kang Li really didn’t want her own parents stuck between Kang Guoan and his wife, getting caught in their fights.

After all, they’re a married couple—one moment they’re arguing, the next they’ve already made up. But if the elder couple got involved, it might just make things worse.

Because, as the saying goes: couples quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the end of it.

"Your dad is more easygoing than me. He even told me not to interfere in your brother and his wife’s matters, said your Fifth Sister-in-law probably grew up being spoiled by her family, so it’s normal for her to throw little tantrums in front of your brother after marriage.

I listened to your dad, but right away I argued back—wasn’t it you who got spoiled by our family too? So why don’t I ever see you make a scene with Yanqing? After hearing that, your dad just came out with, ’I’m going over to Big Brother’s house,’ and I knew he was just avoiding the issue and didn’t want to talk."

"I never had the chance."

"What did you say?"

Cai Xiufen glared, "Say that again."

"Mom!"

Kang Li’s voice was soft and sweet—on purpose. She laughed, "I’m the daughter you raised, how could I possibly throw fits at your good son-in-law? Besides, your good son-in-law works so hard, and barely gets the chance to come home and rest. He wouldn’t even give me a chance to make a fuss, would he?"

Cai Xiufen said, "Don’t think I don’t know what you meant by that sentence just now."

She’s just saying her husband is too busy to let her act up—can’t be having thoughts like that.

Thinking of this, Cai Xiufen put on a serious face. "Li Bao, how other girls get along with their husbands, I can’t control, but you can’t just throw little tantrums at Yanqing whenever you feel like it. Not to mention Yanqing already has a good temper—when he’s busy with work, he barely has any time to rest. If you start arguing the moment he finally gets home to rest, that’s your fault!"

"I know, I know! Your good son-in-law works really hard. I promise, no matter when, I won’t pick a fight with him!"

Kang Li put on a solemn face. "Want me to raise my hand and swear?"

"As long as you know it in your heart."

Cai Xiufen shook her head, tone helpless. "Marriage is about you giving in a little, and me giving in a little, that’s the only way life goes smoothly. Otherwise, two people living together—it’s hard to last long."

"I’ll remember what you said, Mom."

Kang Li smiled slightly, then said, "As for my brother and his wife, we’re just outsiders. But I believe my brother knows what he’s doing—he knows how to live his own life. We just stand aside and watch. Besides, marriage needs time to settle in, maybe after a year or two, Fifth Sister-in-law won’t argue with my brother over every little thing."

"It’d be best if that’s the case."

Cai Xiufen said, "From your eldest brother and sister-in-law down to your fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law, the four couples never made your dad and me worry. It’s just you and Yanqing—if it weren’t for that year when you suddenly disappeared and made us anxious. We even wondered if Yanqing had said something harsh and made you upset, going off by yourself so we wouldn’t have to see you unhappy... But honestly, you two are the least trouble for us."

"Never thought your younger brother’s marriage would be like this. At first, when I met your Fifth Sister-in-law, I thought she was a really nice girl. Who knew, after the wedding, she’d change into a whole new person."

Hearing that, Kang Li just smiled and didn’t comment.

Before marriage, you just want to show your best side to your partner and their family. Especially for someone like Wang Pan, who did the chasing; naturally, she’d work hard to hide her flaws at all times.

But after getting married, the man she chased after is now hers, so once she lets her guard down, her flaws and quirks start creeping out in daily life.

Once she noticed Wang Pan wasn’t as pure and easygoing as she seemed, Kang Li kept her distance and gave up on letting her too close—didn’t bother trying to bring her into her own circle, or help her get close to Kang Guoan.

And when Kang Guoan asked how she felt about Wang Pan, she just stated her opinion without any personal bias.

In the end, it was because of Wang Pan’s "persistence" that she managed to win over Kang Guoan.

At the time, Kang Li could see—if you said Kang Guoan liked Wang Pan that much, maybe not really. Most likely, he was moved by her persistence!

And besides, he was at the age for marriage—if you don’t dislike the other person, you can just spend your life together.

To sum it up: Just get by as best you can!

Sometimes, Kang Li couldn’t help but wonder—how come, out of the whole Kang family, only Kang Guoan’s love life has been just a little bit bumpy?

Back when he’d just started working, he met a strange woman, Yang Zijuan. Then in college, he met Wang Pan, who had this "move-mountains" determination—showing up again and again with love letters. Even when he didn’t respond, she kept coming, handing over her confession notes.

Honestly, just about any guy would’ve caved under that.

And Kang Guoan was no different.

Oh well! With a sigh, Kang Li had to admit, Wang Pan really was pretty and looked obedient, too.

...

Grandpa Kang had only three sons, and he and Grandma Kang lived with the eldest. So, it goes without saying—the birthday banquet tomorrow would be at the eldest’s house.

This afternoon, plenty of people from Uncle Kang’s, as well as Kang Li’s family, had already gone over to help at the eldest’s place, so come dinnertime, the three families all ate together.

Around nine in the evening, Uncle Kang’s family and Kang Li’s family left the eldest’s house together.
