Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1508 - 1259:

"Ruirui."That’s Captain Kang’s voice.

"Hmm?" Ming Rui snapped back to reality and looked at Captain Kang sitting beside him. "Does Grandpa have something he wants me to do?"

Upon hearing this, Captain Kang shook his head and said, "Did you encounter something outside?"

Ming Rui didn’t think twice and directly denied it, not wanting Captain Kang to worry.

"You’re still a child, no matter what you’re facing that you can’t solve, you can talk about it at home. Grandpa and Grandma may not be able to help, but your mom will surely come up with a way."

Listening to Captain Kang’s words, Ming Rui felt warm inside and smiled, nodding lightly. "Okay."

"Big brother, big brother, Guoguo can help you too~"

Following Guoguo’s childish voice, Bun and Tangyuan chimed in with their little voices, both straightening up earnestly to express that they could also help their big brother Ming Rui.

The curve of Ming Rui’s mouth became more pronounced, and his eyes were filled with laughter. "Thank you, one day when your big brother needs help, I’ll definitely tell you."

Kang Li’s words had a playful tone towards Ming Han, but she was clearly speaking the truth. Cooking with love for family, even if the final product was less than perfect, the family would be full of praise. For herself, enjoying the cooking process was certainly satisfying both mentally and physically.

However, Ming Han’s mind took a moment to catch up, and he thought for a while before asking Kang Li, "Cooking is an enjoyment?"

"Isn’t it?"

Kang Li raised her eyebrows, suppressing a smile.

Instinctively, Ming Han shook his head. "It’s an enjoyment, an enjoyment. Whatever Mom says is right."

The three little ones looked on, giggling.

Ming Han asked Kang Li again, "Cooking with love for family, does that make the dishes delicious?"

"Yes!"

Kang Li responded with a sweet smile.

"Mom, you’re sure you’re not fooling me, right? Is there really such a trick to cooking?"

Ming Han felt deeply conflicted, and before Kang Li could respond, Tangyuan’s childish voice chimed in, "Second brother, second brother, you just said everything Mom says is right, so why are you doubting Mom’s words now?"

"No, no."

Ming Han waved his hand repeatedly. "Your second brother just finds it a bit strange."

Tangyuan said, "When I grow up a bit more, I will definitely cook delicious dishes. Second brother, do you know why?" Looking at Ming Han, Tangyuan was full of seriousness.

Ming Han loved to play around, so he played along with Tangyuan, saying, "No idea, second brother is a dummy who can’t figure it out."

"Second brother, don’t say that, you’re not a dummy. In Tangyuan’s eyes and heart, second brother is very smart, oh!"

Tangyuan comforted brother Ming Han, then said in his little child voice, "Mom just mentioned that cooking with lots of love for family results in delicious dishes, and I, Luo Mingchen, love my family the most! When I grow a bit more, I’ll cook with all my love for everyone. So second brother, can you say my dishes won’t taste good then?"

Without thinking, Ming Han blurted out, "No way." Then the next moment, he realized he had been set up by his three-and-a-half-year-old brother.

Seeing him stunned, Tangyuan covered his mouth, laughing.

Kang Li’s words had a playful tone towards Ming Han, but she was clearly speaking the truth.

Seeing him stunned, Tangyuan covered his mouth, laughing.

"Dad, I’m no longer young and naïve. I know what I’m doing, besides, I think financial independence between spouses is fine." Xiao Jin smiled and quietly looked at him. Mrs. Xiao was silent for a moment and said, "Do whatever you want. If you really want to chip in money, five thousand will do, the rest should be covered by the family."

Xiao Jin hesitated, "This..." The family doesn’t just have him as a son; coming up with fifteen thousand all at once would raise questions with his brother Xiao Shen if he knew?

As if seeing what he was thinking, Father Xiao’s face sank, "You’re overthinking. The second son doesn’t have as much burden as you, and besides, the second son has his own income."

"Or maybe... consider it as me borrowing from the family. I’ll pay it back when I have more in hand." Ever since he transferred to work in North City, Xiao Jin’s salary has been quite good, but no matter how good, it’s just about eighty bucks a month. Even if he doesn’t eat, drink, or spend for the whole month, the most he could save a year is a thousand.

Salary increments do happen, but before 1980, each raise was ten bucks at most, then up till now, his monthly salary has been around a hundred.

After expenditures, annual income is clear.

Therefore, Xiao Jin knows exactly how much savings he has. Even if he doesn’t mention it, the old man could probably estimate it roughly.

Understanding this, Xiao Jin would definitely not be pretentious when Father Xiao offers help.

But he will follow through and repay the borrowed money from the family to avoid any future disputes with his brother.

"Suit yourself."

Father Xiao said with a bit of annoyance.

"Dad..." Xiao Jin’s eyes were filled with guilt. "It’s all my fault, such a grown man still having you solve my troubles, sorry."

"It’s only natural for a father to help his son, don’t be so sentimental."

Father Xiao glared.

Xiao Jin’s mouth twitched: "..." He was apologizing and admitting fault, how is that sentimental?

"Don’t mention the child’s matter in front of your mother, or else she’ll get all worked up and try to acknowledge the child, causing trouble." Father Xiao advised.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin nodded and uttered "Okay."

Father Xiao continued, "Also, be careful in your compound over there, don’t slip up in front of the child. According to age, the child should be preparing for the college entrance exams soon, right?"
