Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Kang Li woke up in the body of the sickly beauty, the youngest daughter of the Kang family in Aoli Village, who had been spoiled and pampered all her life. The original host had a tough life, first being dumped, then marrying a divorced man in a fit of anger to become a stepmother, only to find herself unfortunately becoming the control set for another stepmother in the courtyard. She could certainly be considered a top contender for cannon fodder among supporting female characters. But to Kang Li, none of this was a problem. All she knew was that the so-called divorced man was a returned overseas research talent, busy with work, with a high salary and good looks, and was hardly ever at home. In these times, where food and clothing were scarce and communication was done by shouting, marrying him was nothing but good news to her, who just wanted to live the life of a salted fish. Kang's Mother: ...my daughter's gone silly! Brothers (sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces): ...our sister (young auntie) has gone mad! However, apart from the head of the household, Captain Kang, the rest of the family were all sweating on Kang Li's behalf, worried that the delicate and frail treasure of the house (sister, young aunt) wouldn't be able to handle the grievances of being a stepmother and might hurt herself from the stress. The villagers who knew about the Kang family's situation gathered together, spewing sour words and gossiping, especially those who bore no good will and were just waiting to see the Kang family's downfall. Yet, Kang Li's life after marriage was not only blissful, but her husband doted on her, her stepchildren adored her, calling her mom the moment they opened their mouths. They clung to her like people possessed, and the wife (stepmother) had them following her every step. A certain flabbergasted system: I thought the host I was bound to was bronze-tier, but it turns out she's actually king-tier. - Luo Yanqing was naturally indifferent, with only work on his mind, but somehow, he started to find himself looking forward to holidays, although he rarely managed to go home once a whole year.

Chapter 28 Cui the Loudspeaker

Aunt Wang, whose full name is Wang Chunhua, and Aunt Li, whose full name is Li Daniu, belonged pretty much to the same type as the Loudspeaker. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gathered outside the Kang Family's house to watch the excitement or be gossiping about the Kang Family and the Zhou Family at this moment.

"Aunt Cui, your home isn't in this direction."

The Loudspeaker, Cui Erhua, made her way to stand in front of Wang Chunhua and Li Daniu. Hearing Wang Chunhua's words, she grinned, saying, "I'm just taking the chance to chat with you two before I start my shift."

Li Daniu, "You really have a lot of free time!"

"Listen to you talk."

Cui Erhua, the Loudspeaker, wasn't the least bit embarrassed. She pulled Wang Chunhua and Li Daniu to the side of the village road. After looking around to make sure no one was passing by, she lowered her voice and asked, "Do you think that story about the Kang Family is true?"

Wang Chunhua, "What about the Kang Family?"

The Loudspeaker gave her a "what are you pretending for" look and said, "Everyone in the village knows the Team Leader and his wife dote on their daughter like she's their lifeline. Do you really think, like Qin Daying said, they would set up Kang Li with a divorced man who already has a child because the Zhou Family called off the engagement and tarnished her reputation?"

"True or not, what does it matter? Besides, I don't believe the Team Leader and his wife would harm their own daughter."

That was what Wang Chunhua said.

The Loudspeaker, "You believe that? A twice-married man with a child can be a good man? Plus, Kang Li was raised so delicately by them, if she really ends up with that divorced man, can they last long?"

"Aunt Cui, there's something wrong with what you're saying. Kang Li herself said she's willing, and that she's already registered and gotten the certificate with that divorced man."

Li Daniu cut in.

The Loudspeaker, "If that's really the case, I reckon Kang Li will not have good days in the divorced man's house; to be harsh, she might not take long to end up crying and running back to her parent's house."

"You should keep such remarks to yourself, if the Team Leader and his wife hear this, they'll never let you off the hook!"

Although she agreed that the Loudspeaker was probably right, waiting in anticipation of a debacle was one thing, and spouting every thought recklessly was quite another—wasn't she just asking for trouble?

The Loudspeaker pursed her lips, "Let them not let me off the hook then. Am I supposed to be scared of them?"

Wang Chunhua then spoke up, "Actually, when it comes right down to it, the whole mess between Kang Li and that Zhou guy is all because of that vixen Educated Youth Su. Otherwise, why would the Zhou boy break off the engagement with Kang Li?"

With the broken engagement, rumors immediately surfaced about him dating Educated Youth Su; Qin Daying even outright said today that Educated Youth Su is about to join his family as his daughter-in-law, which clearly shows Educated Youth Su isn't innocent at all and might even have played a key role in the mess between Kang Li and the Zhou boy."

Hearing Wang Chunhua's words, Kang Li most likely would have retorted with "Sherlock Holmes is still alive".

"Pooh!"

The Loudspeaker spit on the ground, looking disdainful as she said, "Educated Youth Su a vixen?! Wang Chunhua, are you sure you aren't mistaken? Can Educated Youth Su's looks even compare to Kang Li's?"

Wang Chunhua, "Of course she can't compare."

Loud Speaker Liu, "Then what were you just saying?"

Li Daniu laughed, "Erhua, what Chunhua means is that while Educated Youth Su acts like a vixen, Kang Li is a Fairy. She naturally cannot compare to Kang Li."

"If she can't compare, why would the Zhou boy end the engagement with Kang Li to date that wretch Educated Youth Su?"

The Loudspeaker was puzzled.

Li Daniu, "A vixen is skilled at beguiling people; looks are secondary."
