"Comparing people just makes you mad. What’s the point? I, for one, don’t bother comparing myself with the Kang Family—I’m just focused on living my own life well!"
"Your daughters-in-law are always arguing, petty quarrels every three days, big fights every two—your house is just a mess of feathers everywhere. If you don’t split up, don’t even dream of living a good life."
"Your daughters-in-law aren’t quiet either, plenty of fuss over there."
"Okay, okay, big sister, all our families are about the same, let’s not laugh at each other!"
...
Cui the Loudspeaker, Wang Chunhua, and Li Daniu were standing together, chit-chatting as usual, but this time, all three of them were feeling a bit sour inside.
"Must be that the Kang Family’s ancestral grave has good feng shui."
Right after Li Daniu said that, Cui the Loudspeaker asked, "What do you mean?"
"Are you really clueless or just pretending?"
Li Daniu rolled her eyes at Cui the Loudspeaker and said, "Look, the Kang Family’s first branch has three college students and two from technical schools now. The second branch—need I say more? The third branch has two undergraduates, one from a junior college, and one from a tech school too. In our village, or in the surrounding villages, is there a family like the Kang Family? Whenever they have a college student, it’s like they come in bunches. With a family like theirs, if folks say they’re not living well, not even ghosts would believe it."
"I never said the Kang Family wasn’t living well."
Cui the Loudspeaker felt bewildered. Not to mention the first and third branches—just the second branch living in that big villa, that’s enough to make folks in the surrounding villages jealous and envious. If they weren’t doing well, everyone would have to be blind.
"Daniu, what you said isn’t quite right. The Kang Family’s first, second, and third branches are all thriving!"
Wang Chunhua said, "The first branch already has three working out of town, plus a village head at home—how could they be struggling? The second branch doesn’t even need to be discussed, everyone can see for themselves. The third branch now also has two working outside. Anyway, in all the surrounding villages, nobody’s family can hold a candle to the Kang Family."
Li Daniu: "..."
Cui the Loudspeaker: "I think the Kang Family wouldn’t have what they do today without Kang Li’s help, don’t you two agree?"
"Kang Li’s helped, sure, but you also have to admit the Kang Family’s kids are sharp. One after another, they got into schools and landed secure jobs, eating off the state—no wonder their days just get better and better."
