Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 323: Chapter 323: The marriage was agreed upon by myself.

Old Lady Yu spoke up, and Old Man Xiao never failed to respond.

Under the dim light of the street lamp, Kang Li now clearly saw what kind of person Old Man Xiao was.

He stood about 178 centimeters tall, and despite his advanced years, he was sprightly and upright when he walked, giving the impression of a straightened back, and from his current facial features, it was not hard to deduce that this old man must have been quite a handsome young chap in his youth.

All right, even now, with evident signs of age on his face, ”handsome old man” would be an apt description.

”Grandma Yu, Grandpa Xiao, my home is just ahead; we’ll be there shortly.”

Walking into the courtyard, Kang Li said this to the two elders with a smile, then added, ”My hometown is over in the Northwest, and back home, I have my parents and five older brothers. I’m the youngest...”

The reason Kang Li mentioned the Kang Family’s situation to the old couple was to give an advance introduction of her little brother, Kang Guoan.

Old Lady Yu suddenly asked, ”Your family loves you very much, don’t they?”

With a smile, Kang Li nodded: ”From my father to my nephews, in the entire Kang Family, I’m the only girl. You could say that ever since I was young, the whole family has doted on me like a treasure. I’m not afraid to be laughed at by you and Grandpa Xiao, but even now, my family still calls me by my childhood nickname; whenever they see me, they shout ’Li Bao,’ and every time I hear it, I feel a bit embarrassed.”

”If your parents love you so much, why would they let you marry so far away, and to a man who has been married once before?”

This was Old Man Xiao’s voice; before Kang Li could respond, he continued, ”Don’t get me wrong, little girl; this old man just thinks that you’re such a good young lady, so cherished by your family, that even if they were to find you a match, they should have found someone with comparable conditions, temperament, and looks, in your own area...”

Old Man Xiao didn’t know how to finish his sentence, when unexpectedly, Old Lady Yu took over, ”Good child, your Grandpa Xiao means no harm; he just thinks it’s hard to be a stepmother, and wonders why your family, who loves you so dearly, would allow a young girl who just got married to become a stepmother to three little grandchildren.”

”It was my own decision to get married.”

Kang Li smiled, showing no negative emotions regarding what the elders had said. She said, ”Ever since I was born, I haven’t been in good health. To get me medical treatment, my parents have spared no effort in taking me to various places for years. When I got a bit older, it seemed my health improved somewhat,

but doctors at the big city hospitals told my parents that getting married would be okay for me, but having children of my own... that would be very difficult. That’s why...”

After roughly outlining her marriage with Luo Yanqing, Kang Li spoke with happiness in her voice, ”I’m very satisfied with my husband, and the three little ones at home are great too. They’re bright and sensible, and they’re not a bit of trouble for me to look after.”

Old Lady Yu sighed deeply, ”A parent’s love for their child leads them to make careful plans for their future. Your parents truly have put thought into your well-being!”

Kang Li ”hmmed” in agreement and laughed, ”My family has always spoiled me, afraid to even let me fall or be dissolved in their mouths—they’ve never let me suffer the slightest grievance since I was young. Even my little brother Guoan, who is the same age as me — according to my mother, my little brother was born just a quarter of an hour before me —

but for more than a decade, he has always looked after me. Now he works in North City, and as long as he is free on the weekends, he never fails to take the long bus ride to come see me despite the weather. And then there are my nephews, some of whom are still ’Little Beans,’ and they are always thinking of ways to protect their little aunt.”
