As she spoke, she made as if to raise her hand.
Big Brother Kang spoke up at this moment: "Looks like you all are just too free!"
He swept his eyes over Big Brother Kang and the others—Kang Li wasn’t among them, of course—and instantly, the brothers sat up straight, holding their breath, ready to listen to the old father’s lecture.
"Li Bao is so filial to your mother and me, we know it in our hearts. You brothers are filial too, we know that as well. Is there any need for you all to bicker over it here?"
Their precious daughter hadn’t been raised in vain. To be more precise, he and his wife had always known, from early on, that their daughter—even if not born to them—was a child with a pure heart, and they’d noticed this since she was little.
Because the child was in poor health, they pampered her a bit, and made sure the boys at home took extra care with their little sister as she grew up.
Because of that, their daughter had almost grown up, nearly an adult, but didn’t know how to do chores, had never worked in the fields, but the little girl was sweet-mouthed and thoughtful, never fighting for food, never grabbing it for herself, always thinking to ask after them, and taking the initiative to do simple, easy tasks around the house.
But in the village, some folks didn’t know all this. They only saw them raising their daughter delicately, and had talked bad about her behind their backs more than once.
But now?
Who would dare gossip about his daughter behind his back anymore?
To go back a bit, ever since Li Bao married off to North City and accomplished one big thing after another, nobody thought their family coddled their daughter anymore... In fact, he’d once heard some idle talk that they treated their daughter like a goddess to be worshipped.
But, that didn’t make him angry.
Everyone’s got a mouth—they can say whatever they want, that’s their business.
Likewise, how their family raised the daughter was also their own business—nobody else’s concern!
In the end, all those idle talkers were slapped in the face by his daughter’s actions.
Who wouldn’t envy him and his wife for raising such a good daughter?
Who wouldn’t admire how clever, capable, and filial Li Bao was?
