Chapter 607: Chapter 607 Not Surprising "I didn't want to argue with Mom, I just told struths." Kang Li, who had been leaning lazily against the cabinet, saw his mother glaring at him and hurried forward, wearing a flattering look as he helped soothe his mother's indignation.

"If you laugh, that's good. Mom, you don't know, I'm not afraid of anything in this life, only that you might get upset." Kang Li said earnestly. Upon hearing this, Cai Xiufen tapped her daughter's forehead, "It's just your sweet talk." "It's the truth." Kang Li, feigning grievance, "Mom, don't you believe me?" Cai Xiufen, smiling, shook her head, "Keep causing mischief." Kang Li laughed, then a moment later, she changed the subject, "I'm thinking of going up the mountain when it cools off in the afternoon." Cai Xiufen, "You think you can leave?" Kang Li, "I'll sneak out with Luo Yanqing." Cai Xiufen, "Tell me, what do you want to do on the mountain?" Kang Li, "Just stroll around." Cai Xiufen, "You can wander around the village as much as you like, but don't even think about going up the mountain." Although they hadn't heard of any big creatures inhabiting their mountain, it wasn't worth the risk if her beloved daughter and son-in-law encountered something unexpected, then what? To prevent that risk, Cai Xiufen naturally would not agree to let Kang Li wander around the mountain.
"Really not allowed to go?" Kang Li acted pitifully.
"Think about what you are doing now, and what you are planning to do, can you assurethat you won't encounter any danger taking Yanqing up the mountain?" One was involved in scientific research, the other soon to travel abroad for a competition; their safety was more important than anything.
Pursing her lips, after a long pause, Kang Li drooped, "Alright then, I won't go. I'll just stay at home." At that moment, Cai Xiufen suddenly thought of something. She said, "On the way back from the Zhou family's house, I heard your Aunt Erhua say that Xu Chunxia still hasn't found a husband's family yet. If she comes to our house and wants something from you, don't let her fool you." Upon hearing this, Kang Li didn't respond and instead muttered, "I think she is the sage as me." Cai Xiufen nodded, "Yes, the sage." Kang Li, "Twenty is not old, finding a household shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"It's different in the countryside compared to the city. Here, most families with daughters arrange engagements by sixteen of om seventeen and marriage by eighteen. The scandal previously caused by Chunxia severely damaged her reputation, and her mother is so set on finding a well-off family, hoping to get a bigger dowry,
with all these twists, everyone in the surrounding villages knows Chunxia's situation and her parent's intentions, ve thus no dne comes to propose anymore. I think if her parents keep delaying, they might end up selling her outright." Kang Li frowned slightly, "It's a new society now, human trafficking is illegal, aren't her parents worried about getting arrested by the police?" Cai Xiufen, "Officially, they are marrying off a daughter, which has nothing to do with human trafficking. Besides, this kind of thing is not at all unusual in our countryside."
"I understand what you mean, Mom." Kang Li's face remained expressionless as matter what hap said, "Nom to Xu Chunxia, it has nothing to do with our family. I won't interfere in her affairs, nor do I have any reason to, especially since we are no longer friends." "That's good." The reason Cai Xiufen brought up Xu Chunxia's situation was merely out of concern that Kang Li, usually soft- hearted, might be swayed by a few words into helping somehow.
