Chapter 612: Chapter 612: How Will You Know If You Don't Try? "Chunmei, Chunxia, and I work for work points; do you think it's just to support you? I'm telling you, Xingxing, if you and Chunlai think about continuing to strut around in this house and freeload, you're dreaming!" Xingxing didn't get angry at all; she sneered, "That's not for you to decide." After finishing the last of her corn porridge, Xingxing put down her utensils, stood up, and went back to check on her son, looking utterly unbothered, as if she hadn't a care in the world.

At these words, Chunxia's gaze turned to her younger sisters Chunmei and Chunxiang; seeing them nod at her, indicating they had told their parents about her pleading with Kang Li, her feelings becextraordinarily complicated.
A flash of disappointment crossed her eyes, and she withdrew her gaze from them and turned to Father Xu, saying, "Kang Libao said she needs to think about it."—a lie Chunxia fabricated to avoid being sold off by her desperate parents.
After all, with hope in the air, the parents wouldn't easily consider pushing her out the door like an animal for sale.
During this time, she could always think of a way to get Kang Libao to agree to take her away from Aoli Village! Before going to bed at night, Chunmei and Chunxiang both looked at their Third Sister, Chunxia; Chunmei asked, "Third Sister, did Sister Li Bao really say she would consider helping you?" However, Chunxia didn't answer; she asked, "Why tell our parents?" Chunmei knew what her sister meant; she bit her lip and hesitated to speak. Unexpectedly, Chunxiang, feeling somewhat regretful, said, "Mom and Dad didn't see you cback; they askedand Fourth Sister, and I just couldn't keep it in..." "Third Sister, don't blSixth Sister," Chunmei spoke on behalf of Chunxia. "Our parents had already planned this, and moreover, Mom openly talked about it at the dinner table before you cback." "Then you all might be disappointed," Chunxia's eyes filled with indignation, and she said, "Kang Libao refused; I even knelt before her to beg, and still, she wouldn't nod in agreement." "What should we do then?" Chunxiang looked frightened: "If Mom and Dad find out, then Third Sister, you..." "Sister Li Bao is kind and easy to talk to; she shouldn't be so heartless!" Chunmei interjected, uncertainty flickering in her eyes. Finally, she said, "I'll go to Sister Li Bao later and plead with her to see if she can take Third Sister with her when she leaves." Chunxia had little faith that Chunmei would really help her: "You..."
"Third Sister, we are sisters; helping you is like helping myself," Chunmei said, glancing at Chunang "Pcan't just watch Third Sister be thrown into a fire pit and wait for myself and Sixth Sister to follow the sold road." After a prolonged silence, Chunxia looked dejected: "Kang Libao has changed; she... she's not the sas before. Going to her might end up just like it did for me." "How would we know without trying? Look, I'll go see Sister Li Bao tomorrow," Chunmei said, yawning, "Let's sleep; I'll do my best to plead with Sister Li Bao to do this favor for you, Third Sister." The next day.
Luo Yanqing gave Wang Yue a bundle of money and coupons, then with a couple of reminders watched as Wangyue and Li Jun each drove a car, taking Third Brother Kang to the county town to buy ingredients needed for tomorrow's feast.
It should be noted that yesterday afternoon, Captain Kang had m contacted Fourth Brother Kang, asking Fourth Brother Kang to take a couple of days off work to accompany Third Brother Kang on the purchase trip today.
