Until Educated Youth Su visited her home and learned about her family's Brother Weimin situation, she hesitantly revealed her suspicions.
She really hadn't expected Kang Libao to be so shameless. The two families had clearly and definitively broken off the engagement, yet why did he persistently entangle himself with her family's Brother Weimin? It troubled her family's Brother Weimin so much that he didn't know what to think and ended up sitting in the courtyard all night, tormenting himself to the point of losing consciousness.
"Just because Educated Youth Su said something, does it make it true? Then why don't you believe me when I say that my Kang Libao and your Brother Weimin didn't talk at all yesterday?"
Cai Xiufen's lips moved swiftly, unafraid of Mrs. Zhou's tantrums.
"Why should I believe you? Educated Youth Su is my family's Brother Weimin's girlfriend, the future daughter-in-law about to enter the Zhou Family. She wouldn't lie to my face."
Mrs. Zhou spoke righteously, and upon hearing this, Cai Xiufen sneered, "Then call over Educated Youth Su. I really want to ask her what exactly my Kang Libao said to your Brother Weimin that made him sit like a dolt in the courtyard all night without sleep."
Mrs. Zhou sneered back, "You want me to call her? I will. Look at how big a face you have!"
Cai Xiufen responded indifferently, "My face isn't as big as your Qin Daying's. If you don't believe me, ask everyone else."
"Cai Xiufen, quit your nonsensical talk. I want to see your Kang Libao right now. If you don't call her out, I think you're just showing your guilt!"
Mrs. Zhou provoked sharply.
"Pah! I, Cai Xiufen, always mean what I say, and I've never felt guilty about anything!"
Spitting on the ground, Cai Xiufen was not provoked by Mrs. Zhou in the slightest.
Just then, Kang Li calmly walked in from the crowd that had gathered to watch the drama, her eyes cool and fox-like. Stopping a few steps away from Mrs. Zhou, she said, "Aunt Zhou, didn't you want to find me? Here I am. Ask whatever you want."
Mrs. Zhou was initially startled, then with a stern face, she asked, "Libao, Auntie watched you grow up. Although our families have now disengaged, in my eyes, you are still a good girl. But what was going on yesterday afternoon?
Knowing that our families had already broken off the engagement, why did you still hold on to your Brother Weimin and talk on and on, causing him to be preoccupied with thoughts and sit out all night in the courtyard?
This morning, as soon as I opened the main house door, I found your Brother Weimin collapsed on the ground. Libao, do you know your Brother Weimin hasn't woken up yet? Don't you think I should come looking for you?"
"Aunt Zhou, are you done speaking? If so, may I speak now?"
Kang Li said, not waiting for Mrs. Zhou to respond. Her tone was light, "Yesterday afternoon, I went to the Commune with my father. When we returned and just entered the village, Xu Chunxia called me.
After that, I told my father to go ahead home while I spoke briefly with Xu Chunxia. Somehow, Comrade Zhou Weimin got it into his head to start telling me not to marry a divorced man.
Upon hearing this, I told him my affairs were none of his business and also made it clear that he and I had nothing to do with each other anymore. I even told him I had already registered and gotten a marriage certificate with my fiancé,
Aunt Zhou, I only said these few words. If you don't believe me, go ask Xu Chunxia. She and Comrade Zhou Weimin's girlfriend were both present."
As Kang Li finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou's expression changed repeatedly, her eyes filled with disbelief, "You… you're really going to marry a divorced man and become a stepmother as soon as you enter the door?"
Just as Kang Li was about to respond, Mrs. Zhou suddenly burst out, raising her voice towards Cai Xiufen and Captain Kang standing at the doorstep:
"I've really seen it all now. Usually, you dote on your daughter like the apple of your eye. Even though she was disengaged by our Zhou family, given Libao's heavenly beauty, Captain Kang and our Director Cai you shouldn't have had to find her a divorced man to marry…"
