Chapter 1789: Chapter 1329: 5

Big Brother Kang smiled: "Big brother thinks little brother is right. What you said before was really just so we wouldn’t feel pressured as siblings. You purposely didn’t mention how filial you are to Dad and Mom, and always made yourself out to be a kid who hasn’t grown up, needing them around to look after you."

Of course, Dad and Mom came to North City, partly because they’re worried about you being alone, afraid you can’t handle the workload and wanted to be close by to help. But big brother knows even more clearly, the real reason is you wanted Dad and Mom to enjoy a good, easy life."

Seeing Kang Li’s lips move, wanting to deny it, Big Brother Kang raised a hand to stop her: "Let big brother finish talking first."

What could Kang Li do after hearing that?

She could only close her mouth and listen as Big Brother Kang continued, "At first, Mom and Dad had your little brother stay with you in North City. No need to say much, we all know the reason. They, and us brothers and sisters-in-law, all couldn’t rest easy with you marrying far away, worried that if something happened in North City, we’d be too far to get there in time, couldn’t help you or stand up for you."

But the reason your little brother ended up staying in North City—to take care of you conveniently—was because you gave your brother the job opportunity arranged by your husband’s boss. In other words, it wasn’t the family doing something for you—it was you who brought our family, brought your little brother from this mountain village to the big city, opened his eyes, gave him a chance at a different future."

And since your little brother has a job, at most he can drop by your place weekly, and places where he can look after you are pretty limited. We think about how your health isn’t great, you’re busy with the kids, juggling work and competitions for national glory, so we’re always worried you’ll get worn out. That’s why Mom went to North City..."

But whether Mom is doing well or not, as brothers, we don’t really get a say. You might as well hear it from Mom herself."

His gaze shifted to Cai Xiufang, and Big Brother Kang called, "Mom."

"What’s there to say? I’m enjoying life every single day with Li Bao!"

Cai Xiufang sent Big Brother Kang a big eye-roll.

"Hear that? Mom says she’s enjoying herself at your place."

Big Brother Kang looked at Kang Li, his eyes full of smiles. Kang Li said, "Mom cooks for me and the kids at home, helps wash clothes, goes to school to pick up Ruirui and the others, she works hard."

She didn’t feel like that’s enjoying life.

"How’s it not enjoying life?"

Cai Xiufang frowned: "Cooking, washing clothes, doing anything at your place is so convenient. Plus, I’m not making all three meals every day, am I? Tell the truth, do you cook any less yourself? Once Ruirui, Hanhan and Vivi got to seven or eight, didn’t they cook at home? Didn’t they wash clothes?"

"Mom, why’d you bring that up?!"

Kang Li looked helpless: "You and Dad are at an age where you should be living easy, but because of me..."

"Li Bao, us brothers all know how good you are to us."

Interrupting Kang Li, Big Brother Kang was truly moved. He knew it perfectly well—his little sister only wanted to quietly give, didn’t want the family to keep remembering what she’s done for them. Especially once everyone knew about her background, maybe she worried they’d grow distant with her, and really didn’t want her contributions to always weigh on them.

Kang Li: "..." For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

"I won’t say much, just two more things. All these years, even when you were abroad, every year Dad and Mom’s physical exams were arranged by you. Whenever you’re around them, you’ll find ways to help their health, and whenever you have time, you take Dad and Mom out in North City. Just these few things—I’m the eldest son, but I’ve never done any of them. Second brother, what about you? Did you do any? Third brother, fourth brother, Lao Wu, how about you guys?"

Big Brother Kang’s gaze swept across Kang Guosheng (Second Brother Kang), Third Brother Kang, Fourth Brother Kang, and Kang Guoan.
