"Got it!"
Tangyuan and Guoguo responded in their childish voices.
Bun: "Mom said it, I’ll remember."
...
After their bath, the three little ones were already in bed, and the rest of the household had gradually turned in as well. Ming Wei quietly slipped over to Kang Li’s room to sleep with her.
"Mom, I’m sleeping with you tonight."
She knocked and, seeing Kang Li, Ming Wei giggled as she spoke.
"Come in then."
Kang Li gently opened the door wider, and after Ming Wei entered, she closed it again.
They got in bed and lay side by side together.
"Mom, I think Lady Feng is eyeing my second brother."
"So what? Your second brother’s not a kid anymore, he won’t let Lady Feng manipulate him or do things he doesn’t want. Besides, you’ve got Mom and Dad here—we won’t let anything happen to your second brother."
"Mom, I bet she wants my second brother to help her fight for the inheritance."
"Aren’t you overthinking this?"
"I’m not overthinking it. Mom, think about it—Lady Feng’s husband has a daughter, and once he’s gone, most of their inheritance will probably end up in her stepdaughter’s hands."
"Why are you worrying about this?"
"I’m not trying to worry, it’s just that Lady Feng suddenly gave us gifts, and something about her behavior screams that she’s up to no good."
"No one does something for nothing—maybe Lady Feng really is that kind of person. But we just need to mind our own business. Let others do whatever they want, don’t waste your thoughts on all that nonsense."
"Don’t worry, Mom, I don’t want to end up punished standing by the wall or writing a ten-thousand-word self-critique. But if Lady Feng keeps popping up like some buzzing fly in front of us, it’s really annoying."
"Weiwei, whatever the case, Lady Feng is your birth mother. As long as she doesn’t hurt you, we can afford to be a bit generous."
"Mom! She’s not pure-hearted, she wants to snatch Second Brother away from you!"
Ming Wei sounded a little anxious, turning to face Kang Li as she lay on her side: "With that Han Qian in the Han Family, if my second brother really gets snatched over there, his life for sure won’t be easy!"
"So do you think your second brother can be snatched away?"
Kang Li laughed and asked.
"No."
Ming Wei answered.
"Since you know he can’t, why worry about him? Besides, from a legal standpoint, what Lady Feng did years ago—leaving you all behind—is pretty much abandonment. And you kids have always been on our household registration, it’s not like Lady Feng can just snatch you away. Even if she goes to court, the odds aren’t in her favor."
Having kids and then leaving them, even though Luo Yanqing and Min Rui and their siblings aren’t biologically related, raising them for more than ten years—it’s not hard to imagine how the law would rule.
Plus, Lady Feng faked her death to escape back then, got her household registration canceled by the Feng Family, so legally she’s basically "dead." Even if she’s "alive" again nowadays, as a Feng Family daughter, Min Rui’s siblings’ mother, and Luo Yanqing’s first wife, she’s still a "dead person."
Not to mention, Min Rui and siblings are nearly adults now—not little kids. If things really get taken to court, the judge will definitely ask them what they want.
See if they want to go back to their birth parents or keep living as they are now.
All in all, Kang Li felt—no matter what, her kids weren’t about to be snatched away so easily.
