"It’s nothing. Li Bao has been a well-behaved child since she was little. It doesn’t matter much whether she was born to the third brother and his wife; she is naturally likable."
Big Uncle Kang spoke, with an involuntary hint of envy in his tone: "Why wasn’t our luck like the third brother and his wife back then, to find such a good daughter like Li Bao?"
"We could only say we weren’t destined for it." Sun Fengzhu sighed: "Speaking of which, the second brother and his wife certainly have tight lips. They kept Li Bao’s background a secret so well that if it weren’t for her biological father finding her, I bet with the third brother and his wife’s temperament, they wouldn’t have told Li Bao about her origins until their eyes closed for good."
Big Uncle Kang: "If it were you, would you say it?"
"No."
Without a thought, Sun Fengzhu answered, and then she said: "Let’s sleep. All our envy towards the second brother and his wife for raising a good daughter is in vain."
Young Uncle Kang’s home.
"Li Bao has really brought honor to our second brother and sister-in-law." Young Uncle Kang smacked his lips, saying: "It’s not just about her own success; she’s thinking of helping the villagers build roads, constructing a primary school for the village kids, leading fellow villagers to prosperity, and even bought a big color TV in the name of the second brother and sister-in-law to entertain our parents. How come we didn’t have such a diligent and successful daughter?"
"Just not lucky! But you have to admit, as her uncle and aunt, ever since Li Bao went to North City, we’ve received quite a few gifts from her over the years. Just like today, Li Bao again got us a set of new clothes, not only of good quality but also finely crafted. It must have cost quite a bit."
"Earlier this year, Li Bao sent me and big brother a pair of military boots, sent you and sister-in-law a cotton-padded jacket. How long has it been, and she’s spending money on us again? Really!"
"Saying one thing but meaning another."
"How am I saying one thing but meaning another?"
"You’re saying that, but inside, you’re happy!"
"You caught me, I am indeed very happy. To think in this life, I enjoyed the blessings of a niece!" Young Uncle Kang beamed: "When Li Bao returns to North City, remember to give her some of the mountain goods we’ve picked."
"You don’t need to tell me, I got it!"
Aunt Kang said while yawning, then closed her eyes: "It’s late, let’s sleep."
