Kang Li was a bit worried about Kang Guoan.
Being at the in-laws’ place, if the family sides with their own and not with reason, after hearing Wang Pan’s "plaints," they might say something to Kang Guoan.
"If things really get awkward, we won’t be of much help either." Luo Yanqing spoke calmly, "Didn’t you ask what caused it?"
"I did ask, but I don’t think it’s the way she described it."
Kang Li’s lips pressed tightly, and her brow nearly knotted.
"What did she say?"
Luo Yanqing asked.
"She literally said, ’Why does everyone at home revolve around you? Just you are the treasure, are others just weeds?’" After hearing what Kang Li said, Luo Yanqing asked, "Is that all?"
"She didn’t say anything else."
After pondering for a moment, Kang Li spoke, "I find it odd. What does ’everyone at home revolves around me’ mean? And the phrase ’I’m a treasure, the people at home are weeds’, what does she really mean by that, I can’t figure it out.
I even asked her to clarify, but she didn’t say more. Help me think, where does her resentment toward me e from?"
Luo Yanqing: "Maybe you’re overthinking it."
Kang Li: "What do you mean by that?"
"You know the reason why Wen Siyuan’s wife always gives you a hard time." Luo Yanqing reminded.
"What? You mean... she’s jealous of me, so she vents her dissatisfaction on me."
Kang Li was surprised. Hearing Luo Yanqing’s acknowledgment, she said, "But what’s there for her to be jealous of? I’m little brother’s sister, her sister-in-law, and her college classmate. What do I have that she can’t bear jealousy over, that she would act that way in front of other sisters-in-law and nieces-in-law?"
Expressing doubt, but before Luo Yanqing could speak, Kang Li seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes suddenly widened: "Could the reason be simply because she said everyone at home revolves around me, and I’m a treasure while everyone else is a weed?"
Luo Yanqing: "Most likely, yes."
"That simple? If that’s the case, then I definitely overthought it. But why would she have such deep resentment?"
How do people revolve around her at home, how is she a treasure and others weeds? Okay, even if Wang Pan said it so, why is she upset about it?
Thinking about this, Kang Li said: "Luo Yanqing, do my family members really revolve around me?"
Luo Yanqing replied: "Your parents are good to you, and you are good to them."
"So am I their treasure?"
The bedside lamp was still on, and using its light, Kang Li fixedly looked into Luo Yanqing’s dark eyes.
"Your parents call you Li Bao, and in my eyes and heart, you’re my precious treasure."
After hearing this from Luo Yanqing, Kang Li’s cheeks immediately became very warm.
"I’m just myself, not your precious treasure." Her tone was proud, and Kang Li avoided Luo Yanqing’s gaze. She asked, "Do I treat my family like weeds?"
"Of course not."
Luo Yanqing’s lips curved into a slight smile: "Don’t overthink."
"Okay, I won’t overthink."
After a moment’s silence, Kang Li said: "Luo Yanqing, even if what my Fifth Sister-in-law said was true, what does it have to do with her? It’s my parents who choose to revolve around me, so what is she jealous about?
Besides, she herself once told me that as long as she’s home, her parents and brothers all revolve around her, pampering her like a little princess. How is she any different from me with my parents and brothers around?"
"Her mind isn’t right. She thinks being surrounded by family and treated as a treasure is fine for herself, but not for anyone else. When she sees you being pampered by your parents and big brother from childhood, she finds it unpleasant and inevitably feels discontent toward you."
"Your analysis might be a bit unreliable, but my intuition tells me this is exactly how Wang Pan thinks."
She’s crazy!
Yes, her surname is Kang, not Wang, so what’s wrong with being spoiled by her own family?
Luo Yanqing: "Alright, you know what kind of person she is, just have less contact with her going forward."
Kang Li: "Of course I won’t interact much with her, but my little brother has such an unreasonable wife by his side, his days probably aren’t very happy."
"Since they’re already married, they need to be more tolerant. If he can’t endure it, he can choose to divorce."
Days are made to be lived, but if a couple’s views are severely mismatched, in his opinion, there’s no need to continue promising.
...
The next day was the first day of the lunar year, and after Kang Li and her family got up early to pay respects to Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya, they also acpanied the two for breakfast. Afterwards, Kang Li and Luo Yanqing bid farewell to Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya.
