Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1717: Chapter 1312: Didn’t Expect You Were a Sensible Person_4

As soon as she spoke, Kang Li wished she could zip her own lips. She felt like she was living by the sea, full of regrets. Once she realized this, she stopped talking, withdrew her gaze from Xu Chunxia, and walked away without a moment’s hesitation.

Xu Chunxia stood there, staring at Kang Li’s back until she disappeared through the gates of the villa where Jiang Hongfa lived, her expression turning blank and lost.

Still in a daze, she wandered down to a small creek not far away, sat under the weeping willow on a big stone, and stared absent-mindedly at the clear water.

Her parents and brothers saw her return, recognized who she was, and cursed her as soon as they opened their mouths. But the moment they saw her carrying two big suitcases and bags of all sizes, their faces changed instantly. Smiling now, they asked her how she’d been these past few years, handed her a cup of sugar water, said she dressed stylishly, just as well as city folk.

Especially when they saw the gifts she brought them, they became so happy they couldn’t stop grinning, kept saying what she liked to hear. In her eyes, with that attitude, it was as if they wished they could worship her like an ancestor.

Yet she knew perfectly well they weren’t genuinely good to her—they simply saw a chance for profit. They thought she made money out there, saw her wearing nice clothes, and tried to use sweet talk to get benefits out of her.

Ha! These are her family!

No real affection, only interests.

If one day they found out what she did out there, she didn’t even need to guess—she knew exactly how they’d treat her.

——Draw a hard line, curse her for being shameless!

Xu Chunxia’s thoughts spun around to this, and suddenly she remembered her shameful illness.

The symptoms were mild for now, and could still be controlled by medicine. Once it got worse, it’d be nearly impossible to cure.

Her lips pressed tight, Xu Chunxia frowned.

Treatment cost money. The police over in North City still hadn’t caught the bastard who swindled all her savings, and now she was being threatened by Han’s wife, forbidden from appearing in North City again. So if she left the village, would she only be able to make a living in the provincial capital?

Shaking her head secretly, Xu Chunxia knew better than anyone: if she returned to her old work, in the provincial capital she’d run a high chance of bumping into someone she knew.

For example, someone from her village—or even from the neighboring ones. The villages were close, and ties were tight. For all she knew, someone from the next village might recognize her right away.

If she really got recognized, it wouldn’t take long before everyone in the villages around Rowlip Village knew what she’d been doing outside.

If she wanted no worries, the only option was to do as Kang Libao said—wait tables and wash dishes in a restaurant, or be a housemaid for some rich family.

But she... she really couldn’t stand that kind of hardship!

She didn’t want to be filthy all day, tangled up with greasy kitchens.

Settle down in the village and get married?

Xu Chunxia shook her head—no, she’d never marry one of those rough country guys, dirty as hell, rarely showering all year. The thought of sharing a bed with them made her skin crawl!

After pondering it over and over, Xu Chunxia decided: she’d wait a while before leaving the village, maybe go to North City again and try to avoid Han’s wife, so she wouldn’t have to worry about being targeted.

Or... or maybe go to Deep City—since Yang never said she couldn’t show up there.

Thinking of this, Xu Chunxia loosened her frown. She swore to herself, no matter what, she’d find herself a big boss, become his wife, and spend her life with no worries about food or drink, always having someone to wait on her.

As for why she didn’t choose to stay and work in Kang Li’s factory, Xu Chunxia felt that’d hurt her pride. She didn’t want Kang Li looking down on her forever.

Obviously, she hadn’t heard Kang Li’s words the right way. She never realized Kang Li looked down on her because of her skewed values, her lack of dignity and self-love, and simply didn’t want anything to do with her.

”Mom, when school starts, can me, my fourth brother, and fifth brother enroll in the preschool class?”

”Mm.”

This spring, the three kids started kindergarten. All together, they asked to be put in the senior class. Kang Li couldn’t argue anymore, and she knew the trio had nothing left to learn in kindergarten, so she gave in to their wishes.

After all, the three little ones had already learned what was in the junior high textbooks. Sending them to kindergarten was really about helping them have a happy childhood, letting them spend time with kids their own age.

So whether the three went to the middle class, the senior class, or preschool didn’t really matter much.

And when Xiao Chen Yu found out the three were going to accompany Jiang Xuanxuan, he naturally wanted to join them in senior class, too. That’s why Guoguo asked the question just now.

The little girl was afraid her mom would think she was young and make her and her fourth and fifth brothers stay in senior class, not letting her be desk-mates with her good friend Xuanxuan anymore.

That’s right, for a whole semester in senior class, little Guoguo and Jiang Xuanxuan sat together.

The two girls were so happy!

”Mom, after we finish preschool, me, my fourth brother and little sister can jump straight to third grade in elementary, right?”
