But none of you ever felt that I was bad, and now, I've got my own little family, but I will never forget the kindness my family has shown me, no matter where I am,
I will always remember this is my home, where I have father, mother, brothers, sisters-in-law, and my nephews, once I go to North City, I will miss you all!"
When these words were said, they were undoubtedly emotional, as everyone in the hall, including Captain Kang, had red rims around their eyes.
Alright, even Kang Li herself felt her eyes were somewhat uncomfortable.
"Li Bao, my child, why say all this? Look, your words have almost brought everyone in the family to tears!"
Cai Xiufen carelessly handed the clothes she was holding to Captain Kang, got up, walked over to Kang Li, and hugged her, patting her on the back, "Silly girl, you are not even in North City yet, and you're already saying your goodbyes, do you really want to make your mother suffer?"
Kang Li shook her head, "No, absolutely not. I just couldn't hold it in and ended up expressing my feelings!" Sniffling, Kang Li's eyes filled with guilt as she looked around at all the family members:
"Mom, to tell the truth, all these years since I was little, the family has always been good to me, and I, I've not done anything for the family. Now that I think about it, I feel so ashamed!"
"Silly girl, are you still talking? Mom doesn't need you to be so sensible, Mom just wants you to be happy and healthy, your dad and your older brothers feel the same. Our only wish is for you to lead a good life, otherwise, Mom wouldn't know what could happen."
If they lost their precious daughter, she and her husband would lose half their lives, and the whole family would probably never hear laughter again.
…
Before falling asleep at night, Cai Xiufen lay on the kang, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, so she sat up straight.
"What's wrong?"
Captain Kang had been asleep but got awakened by the movement next to him, and couldn't help but open his eyes and ask.
"What do you think is wrong?"
Staring angrily at Captain Kang, Cai Xiufen pulled him up directly: "You only know how to sleep, sleep, sleep. Can't you feel that something is very off with Kang Li?"
"What are you talking about?"
Captain Kang rubbed his forehead, his sleepiness slightly abating.
"Don't play dumb with me!"
Cai Xiufen glared.
Captain Kang felt his wife was making a fuss over nothing, and said, "Kang Li is so sensible now, I am very happy about this change."
"Happy my ass!"
Cai Xiufen blurted out at Captain Kang, and then continued: "All I feel is heartache, do you understand? Our Kang Li has always been pampered by our family, naive, and mindless. She only knew to eat and play other than studying, but now? Now she actually cares about us, thinks about giving us gifts, the change is just too great, I... I just think about it and my heart hurts unbearably."
Upon hearing this, Captain Kang's expression turned grave; after a long while, he heaved a sigh, "Kang Li's changes are largely due to the Zhou Family breaking off the engagement."
"It's not just a large impact, but the Zhou Family breaking off the engagement directly caused Kang Li to become what she is now; you can imagine how big a blow it was to Kang Li."
Cai Xiufen said as she started to wipe her tears: "I'd rather have Kang Li remain the heartless girl she was before than see her like this now.
Old man, I really care about Kang Li! She was such a happy child before the Zhou Family broke off the engagement, and now, although she seems not to care much on the surface, inside she has changed a lot."
