Chapter 68 -68: Can’t Figure It Out

Upon hearing this, Kang Guosheng paused and then showed a remorseful expression, “Xiaohui, there’s something I forgot to tell you, and that’s my fault…”

“Speak up, I don’t want to hear apologies right now.”

Realizing that her husband did have something he was keeping from her, He Hui immediately looked stern.

“Don’t be in such a hurry,” Kang Guosheng tried to pacify his wife and then said, “It’s about Li Bao, she…”

He Hui didn’t wait for Kang Guosheng to finish speaking, her face instantly showed anxiety, “What about Li Bao?” The thought of the soft and delicate girl, although whiny, not at all spoiled, possibly in trouble, made He Hui uncontrollably anxious.

Kang Guosheng: “Li Bao, she got married!”

“What?”

He Hui was stunned, and after coming around, she frowned and said, “Li Bao is still young, how could she be married already?! Tell me quickly, what exactly is going on?”

With pursed lips and silence, Kang Guosheng pondered for a while before he briefly relayed the contents of the family letter he had received that day to his wife. At the end, rubbing his forehead, he said in a tone of incomprehension,

“I just don’t understand it, Li Bao’s only barely eighteen years old. What were dad and mom thinking? Even if Li Bao was rejected by the Zhou Family, there’s no need to marry her off to a man on his second marriage with three children…”

At that point, Kang Guosheng halted, he really couldn’t fathom what his parents were thinking, to marry the family’s only darling to a man already on his second marriage and have her step into the role of stepmother to his children right away.

“What did you say?”

He Hui found it hard to believe what Kang Guosheng was saying. As far as she knew, when her sister-in-law and the younger son of the Zhou Family from the same village had arranged a marriage, it was the Zhou Family who had come to propose the match,

and the younger son of the Zhou Family and her sister-in-law were Childhood Sweethearts, so fond of her sister-in-law that he hardly ever wanted to be away from home, wishing only to be with her sister-in-law. How could the engagement be called off just like that?

Besides… she couldn’t understand why her in-laws, who clearly cherished her sister-in-law like a jewel in their palm, would think to betroth her sister-in-law to a man on his second marriage after the Zhou Family called off the engagement?

And most importantly, to a man on his second marriage with three children?

Kang Guosheng: “Didn’t I make myself clear?”

He Hui shook her head, “It’s not that I don’t believe you, but please, explain properly, how did dad and mom come to the decision to marry Li Bao off to that…”

“I don’t know the details, but according to the letter that elder brother wrote on behalf of our parents, the matter seems to be set in stone,” said Kang Guosheng, his expression somber.

“What are we going to do? You are Li Bao’s elder brother, and I am her sister-in-law, we can’t just watch her marry a man on his second marriage and become a stepmother to his children, can we?

You do know, our Li Bao is delicate and has never done much work since she was little, plus she is still a child herself.”

How is she supposed to take care of three babies?

He Hui was very worried, she thought for a moment and said, “You call the village committee back home first thing tomorrow, ask for details, and if it’s true Li Bao has already gone to North City, then we will go there together to hear what Li Bao has to say for herself.”

Kang Guosheng: “Do you want to go with me to North City?”

He Hui: “I am her sister-in-law, of course I should go.”

“Elder brother mentioned in the letter that Li Bao agreed, but he’s worried that Li Bao agreed out of spite, to get back at that Zhou Family boy…”

“Calm down, once we see Li Bao, we’ll know everything. Besides… as you also mentioned, that Comrade Luo is of special status, it’s not like we can simply do whatever we want.”

Hearing He Hui say this, Kang Guosheng sighed and didn’t say anything further.
