Chapter 959: Chapter 956: How Many Families Would Be Willing?

Kang Li said with a smile.

Captain Kang advised, ”If you don’t mind the trouble, suit yourself, but it’s best to inform your elder brother and sister-in-law in advance, rather than bringing it up when you’re about to leave.”

”I know.”

Kang Li responded with a cheerful expression.

”Talking about your Uncle Cui’s family’s matter, it has certainly sounded an alarm for the folks in the surrounding villages. Families with a youth-in-law or a youth daughter-in-law are keeping a close watch, whether day or night, to avoid ending up with an ungrateful ingrate themselves.”

Setting the smoking pipe by the edge of the kang, Captain Kang looked rather grim: ”It’s not that I’m old-fashioned, thinking that educated youth who’ve married local girls or boys should stay stuck in this poor rural backwater for life,

but some people, they’re truly of poor character. In order to avoid the hard life in our rural areas, they find ways to marry locals, yet now that the country is changing in every aspect, they can return to the city through college entrance exams,

so they become cunning, thinking their local wife or husband will only drag them down. They sneak off disgracefully, abandoning their families to return to the city for their good life.”

Pausing for a moment, Captain Kang sighed: ”If only they’d sit down and have a proper talk with their spouse and kids and leave this place in a reasonable manner, wouldn’t everything be settled.”

Upon hearing this, Kang Li chuckled: ”Dad, if everyone did as you suggest, how many families would be willing to let their son-in-law or daughter-in-law return to the city?

After all, everyone has long believed that breaking a temple is better than breaking a marriage, and if their daughter and grandson or son and grandson end up left in the countryside by a city-bred son-in-law or daughter-in-law through divorce,

leaving aside how they would live in the future, just the gossip alone could overwhelm them. Considering this, even if both parties sat down to talk,

unless the whole family leaves together, there won’t be any other result. This forces the educated youth to choose the selfish route of running back to the city alone.”

At this point, Kang Li’s tone shifted: ”Of course, there are open-minded parents who realize they can’t keep the person’s heart if they can’t keep their presence. Through discussion, they might agree to let their daughter-in-law or son-in-law leave, but this shouldn’t be many.”

Captain Kang nodded after hearing Kang Li’s point: ”You’re right. But what about those bastards who only think about going back to the city, why don’t they remember why they started a family in our place in the first place?”

With a troubled expression and a tinge of resentment in his deep voice, Captain Kang continued: ”They felt they couldn’t handle hardship and were worried about starving in the countryside. They used their faces to marry our local girls and boys,

but now that good days are coming, they’ve forgotten everything from before, afraid their wife and kids or husband and children will become burdens. Did the dogs eat their conscience?”

On hearing this, Kang Li thought silently: It takes two to tango!

Just then, Luo Yanqing suddenly spoke to Captain Kang: ”Dad, our family hasn’t faced such a thing. Don’t take it out on Xiao Li.”

”...”

Captain Kang was immediately taken aback. After a while, he coughed twice, trying to compose himself to say naturally: ”I’m not mad at Li Bao; I’m just really upset by those heartless city kids.”

Luo Yanqing replied: ”Then, Dad, you’re just inviting trouble for yourself. Didn’t you say before that, because of what happened to Uncle Cui’s family, the folks in our surrounding villages have already been alerted? That should mean there won’t be a second occurrence of such an incident.”
