Chapter 1786: Chapter 1329: Kang Li’s Intentions (2)

"You guys are busy, you just don’t have time. It’s not that you don’t care."

Kang Li looked at Big Brother Kang and the others, feeling strangely complicated. She’d only done what any child should do, just a small thing, so why did her brothers keep dragging it out and discussing it?

She shifted her gaze, looking at Captain Kang and Cai Xiufang: "Dad, Mom, say something to my big brother and the others. What are they doing, insisting on dredging up the past, making it seem like I’ve done something wrong, sitting here like I’m being roasted over a fire, hearing sizzling noises all over me, about to get cooked well-done!"

As she said this, Kang Li exaggerated her movements and expressions: "Smell that? Can you all smell the meat getting cooked?"

Big Brother Kang and the others were stunned, and then burst out laughing.

Captain Kang and Cai Xiufang also laughed at the same time. Cai Xiufang said, "I’ve said more than once, you’re the cheekiest one in our family, always clowning around. Now you admit it yourself?"

"Oh come on! How am I cheeky, how am I clowning around? Clearly, I’m just keeping things lively!"

Kang Li blinked her eyes, full of innocence.

"Our Li Bao is still so lively and adorable, that’s great!"

This was Second Brother Kang’s voice.

"Still got a child’s heart."

Kang Guoan chimed in.

"Li Bao is our little sister. Even if she’s seventy or eighty, she’ll always be a kid to us. Having a childish heart’s not a bad thing."

Big Brother Kang laughed, and Third Brother Kang and Fourth Brother Kang nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly with his words.

Kang Li’s cheeks felt a bit hot, but she kept her composure.

She cleared her throat and pretended to be calm: "I don’t know how families elsewhere get along, but I’m so lucky I grew up in our family, so lucky to have Mom, Dad, and you big brothers as my kin. In our family, I’ve always felt warmth, felt everyone’s care, learned how to get along with others, understood what family means, what real affection is."

The room went so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Kang Li’s expression softened as she looked at Captain Kang and Cai Xiufang, then at her brothers: "Even though I’m not Mom and Dad’s biological child, even though I don’t share blood ties with you big brothers, to me—"

She pointed to her chest, continuing, "Mom and Dad are my real parents. Big brother, second brother, third, fourth, fifth brother—you are all my real brothers. Everyone in our family is my family!"

In this world, blood relation isn’t the only thing that makes people kin. I can feel the love everyone at home gives me, all the affection, I cherish it deeply. I’ll remember for life that my name is Kang Li, remember I was born in Aoli Village, remember this is my root!

Big brother, you and second brother, third, fourth, little brother always say I’m more filial to Mom and Dad than you are, but actually it’s not that you’re less filial, it’s just that I earn money faster than you. In other words, I have money, so now I can let Mom and Dad enjoy life more and take care of them, since they’ve worried about us six siblings for years. Now it’s time for them to relax and enjoy themselves.

But I still feel I haven’t done enough. When I say this, it’s not that I think you guys can’t do what I do—you’re just busy, working hard for life, unlike me who can spare some time to do little things for Mom and Dad."

Still, I want to mention, if you ever have time in the future, try to spend more time with Mom and Dad. Of course, same goes for me. Even though Mom and Dad have been by my side these years, I haven’t spent much more time with them than you have. Anyway, let’s make sure Mom and Dad are happy every single day from now on!"

Big Brother Kang was the first to speak up: "Big brother will listen to you."

Second Brother Kang: "Second brother will listen to you too."

He didn’t have time to visit the elders, but he could easily let them live with him for a while.

Third Brother Kang, Fourth Brother Kang, and Kang Guoan all followed along with their own promises.

No one had any objections to Kang Li’s suggestions.

"What are you all doing?"

Cai Xiufang glared: "Who told you your dad and I used to be unhappy, not living a good life?"

She was addressing this to Kang Li.

"Huh?"

Kang Li was taken aback, but she quickly caught on and laughed, saying: "I never said that."

"Never said what?"

Cai Xiufang pretended to be upset and kept glaring at her precious daughter.

"I never said you and Dad used to be unhappy, not living a good life. What I meant was, from now on, let you and Dad be even happier, live even better every day!"

Kang Li grinned, her eyes curving into crescents. She even copied Guoguo’s cute face she’d make when trying to please, looking at Cai Xiufang: "Mom, trust me, I can swear to you."
