Kang Li looked at the man, smiled, and said no more.
On one side, the young couple exchanged glances, a faint and unusual emotion lingering in their hearts; on the other, in Aoli Village, Captain Kang hung up the phone, a beaming smile spread across his face as he walked out of the Team Leader’s office.
"Team Leader, your Li Bao is really capable. It wasn’t long after her marriage that she sent a TV set back to your family. If my daughter had that ability, I would wake up laughing from my dreams!"
"Mu Laosan, it looks like we’ll only be left with envy in this lifetime. After all, among all our daughters, there’s none who looks like a fairy quite like Li Bao. She had just stepped into her husband’s family’s home and already her son-in-law dotes on her, allowing Li Bao to send a TV set to Captain Kang’s house!"
Hearing these sour words, Captain Kang didn’t get angry in the slightest; the smile on his face remained: "Look at how sour you all are. But you’re all wrong. That TV set at my place wasn’t sent by Li Bao, it was my son-in-law who bought it to show his respect to me and Li Bao’s mother."
Just be sour about it!
Each and every one of them spent their days waiting to see a joke out of his family, waiting for Li Bao to become unable to stand being a stepmother and run back home in tears. Now, they were the ones who got sour, and the thought alone was satisfying!
Watching Captain Kang’s retreating figure, the middle-aged men standing by the village road chattering couldn’t help but feel a face full of jealousy.
After a while, one of them said, "Do you think what the Team Leader said is true?"
"Who doesn’t know Captain Kang? He’s never been one to brag or lie."
"So you’re saying... that TV set in Captain Kang’s house really was sent by Li Bao’s son-in-law out of respect for the two old folks?"
"It can’t be fake."
Someone sighed, "You know, those women gossip about Captain Kang’s family all day, saying that who knows when Li Bao would come back to the village crying. They laughed at Li Bao for being a stepmother, thinking Captain Kang’s family was pushing their daughter into a pit of fire. Now they probably have nothing to say, right?"
