Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Reunion of Relatives Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Reunion of Relatives North City.

After two days, Captain Kang and Big Brother Kang, along with two craftsmen, had tidied up the courtyard according to the blueprints Kang Li had drawn.

“Dad, Big Brother, you’ve just finished the yard, and you won’t even rest for a day before heading back to our hometown?”

After an early breakfast, Kang Li watched Captain Kang and Big Brother Kang with reluctance, “We all agreed before, that once we got to North City, you would accompany me to the department store to buy a washing machine for the house. Now that you’re leaving so soon, how am I supposed to buy one on my own?”

As she spoke, Kang Li casually pulled out a thick stack of Great Reunion Banknotes from her pocket: “You gave me all this money the other night, and it just doesn’t feel right to hold onto it. Dad, why don’t you…”

At that moment, Captain Kang interrupted Kang Li before she could finish: “Keep the money for yourself; this is what Director Wu gave me after setting up your marriage to Little Luo, saying it was the bride price from Little Luo.

Now that you’re far away in North City, and your mom and I aren’t by your side, we just hope you have some money with you. Besides, this money is your bride price; it’s yours to begin with. Why should your mom and I keep it?”

They weren’t selling their daughter. Even if the bride price was two thousand yuan, they wouldn’t take what they shouldn’t. His wife and he wouldn’t touch a penny of it. All they wished for was for their daughter to live a good life with her husband in North City, to be safe and healthy, and to have a happy and fortunate life.

They desired nothing else besides that.

Suddenly, a low and magnetic male voice came from outside the courtyard gate: “Is anybody home?”

“Who’s there?”

Kang Li casually asked, then blinked her fox-like eyes and said to Captain Kang and Big Brother Kang, “Dad, Big Brother, why does that voice sound so familiar to me?”

Big Brother Kang hesitated for a moment before speaking, “It’s your second brother. Kang Li, if Big Brother’s not mistaken, it’s definitely your second brother.”

“Second brother?! Big Brother, are you sure?”

Without waiting for Big Brother Kang to respond, Kang Li turned and walked toward the courtyard gate, followed by the twins.

The two little ones tumbled along with their short legs, hurrying not to be left behind their mother.

As for Min Rui, he was being held by the hand by Captain Kang and stood at the living room entrance with Big Brother Kang.

Opening the courtyard door, Kang Li looked up and saw a man and a woman standing outside.

The man had a tall and straight figure, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes, extremely handsome; the woman was about 160 cm tall, and while not particularly striking, she looked quite pleasant, with a moderately plump and slender figure, clearly a gentle woman at a glance.

“Second brother, second sister-in-law!”

With the original host’s memories, Kang Li easily recognized the couple, not to mention that Kang Guosheng and Big Brother Kang shared a striking resemblance—well, actually, all five Kang brothers looked quite similar.

“Li Bao!”

Seeing Kang Li, both Kang Guosheng and his wife He Hui had smiles in their eyes and greeted her affectionately as their dear little sister. Then Kang Guosheng looked at the comrade beside him and said to Kang Li:

“This comrade helped us find your house. Otherwise, with so many residents in this compound, your second sister-in-law and I would have probably taken quite a while to find you.”

“Comrade, no need to be formal, since you’ve already reunited with your relatives, I won’t stay any longer,” said a young comrade from the entrance of the compound on duty at the guard post. With that, he saluted the three Kangs and then turned and strode away.

“Second brother, second sister-in-law, come on in and have a seat,” invited Kang Li as she ushered Kang Guosheng and his wife into the courtyard. She didn’t have to introduce the twins; they came forward on their own, tilting their little heads curiously as they looked up at the couple:

“Hi, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, I’m mom’s son (Little Cutie) Hanhan (Vivi)!”

Kang Guosheng’s mouth twitched slightly, and he knelt on one knee, reaching out to grasp the twins’ little hands: “Hey there, little guys, hello.”
