Chapter 401: Chapter 401: No Need to Worry

Kang Li: ”Thank you, but I don’t need your kindness.”

”You really are stubborn,” Su Man said with a curl of her lip. ”Raising another’s child, out of ten, eight won’t grow close. Since you don’t listen to me, then I wish that all the children you raise turn out well.”

”Since Comrade Su has such a bias towards her stepdaughter, why do you still pick up and drop off every day? And with your most treasured son at that, aren’t you worried that such a small child might catch a cold from the wind on the way?”

Kang Li glanced at the little one Su Man held in her arms and made a bland remark.

”Do you think I want to pick them up and drop them off? It’s just that the two little ones are still in kindergarten. Just wait until they’ve both started elementary school; you’ll see if I’ll still be doing this.”

Wouldn’t she cherish her own son? But what choice did she have? With Wen Yi and Wen Yu, one in kindergarten and the other in preschool, both still young, if she didn’t pick them up and drop them off, what if something happened to them on the way? Wouldn’t Wen Siyuan eat her alive?

Kang Li: ”Comrade Su is indeed a sensible person.”

They entered the courtyard, then each went through their own gate. Throughout the way, their conversation was noncommittal.

”Ruirui is reading a book!”

Walking into the children’s bedroom, Kang Li saw Xiao Ming Rui holding a Chinese textbook, murmuring the words. She couldn’t help but say, ”You need more rest. It’s not late to read after resting. Now, listen to Mommy, close the book, close your eyes, and get some more sleep. After Mommy makes breakfast, I’ll come and wake you.”

Xiao Ming Rui was an obedient baby. Upon hearing her, he said, ”Okay,” and casually placed the book beside his pillow.

The breakfast was millet porridge paired with steamed buns, along with a dish of stir-fried zucchini.

After waking Xiao Ming Rui, Kang Li helped the little guy wash up, and then brought him back to the living room.

”Eat up. After you’ve finished, take a couple of walks around the yard to digest, then lie down in bed again.”

”...Okay,” Xiao Ming Rui nodded. But after eating two steamed buns, he couldn’t help but say, ”Mommy, I want to go to school.” He didn’t want to fall behind in his studies.

The word ”mommy” from the child was extremely willing. In fact, as early as last New Year’s Eve, Xiao Ming Rui had wanted to call her ”mommy,” but he might have been too shy or unaccustomed to do so and had not said it.

This delay lasted until now, and Xiao Ming Rui finally started to naturally call Kang Li ”mommy.”

To say Kang Li wasn’t moved would be a lie. After all, it took over a year of hard nurturing to let the child voluntarily call her ”mommy.” Anyone would be filled with emotion and simultaneously feel relief and happiness.

But Kang Li didn’t show any unusual emotion on her face. She smiled and said, ”Are you worried about falling behind in your studies?”

Xiao Ming Rui nodded: ”Yeah.”

Kang Li: ”Then you don’t need to worry. At home, we have your class’s schedule. After you’ve rested, Mommy will follow up on the lessons from yesterday and catch you up on the new material.”

As she said this, Kang Li suddenly remembered something. She quickly said, ”You eat first. Mommy will make a phone call to your class teacher.” Look at her memory, she almost forgot to ask the teacher for leave on behalf of the child.

”Hello, is this Teacher Li?”

”Yes, that’s me. May I ask who this is? What do you need?”

”Teacher Li, I’m Luo Ming Rui’s mom. My Min Rui had a fever last night...”

”Okay, I’ve got it. Let the child rest well at home. When he comes back to school, I will help him catch up on the missed work.”

”Thank you, Teacher Li!”
