Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1796: Chapter 1331: Kang Li Gets Straight to the Point (3)

Last year, Third sister-in-law Kang hired five people in the county to do the sewing.

She was in charge of pattern making, cutting, and sourcing fabrics. At the same time, she had to keep track of marketing at each store—she was busy as a dog. She’d thought about waiting until she had more cash on hand, then picking a spot to set up a small clothing factory, but actually getting the factory started is really no easy thing.

And Third sister-in-law Kang knew perfectly well that she didn’t know much. When she first started the clothing store, nearly all the ideas came from Kang Li.

Like decoration, supply channels, marketing planning—all were things Kang Li helped her with.

That was what gave her the chance to open one clothing shop after another.

If her next step was to start a small clothing factory, and she kept bothering Kang Li, Third sister-in-law Kang felt she just didn’t have the face for it.

Besides, no one knew her own abilities better than she did. Now that she’d heard Kang Li was opening a clothing factory in town, Third sister-in-law Kang was all for it, hands down.

She knew Kang Li wasn’t the type to talk about things and not do them. Once she decided to act, it definitely wasn’t going to be half-hearted, and Kang Li also had the money to make it happen. Once Kang Li’s clothing brand opened up the market just like her canned foods had, as her sister-in-law, she’d definitely get first dibs on supply and the best possible prices.

In short, Third sister-in-law Kang believed Kang Li would really take care of her, as her third sister-in-law!

”As long as you agree, that’s good.”

Third Brother Kang said, ”Li Bao really is good to our parents and to us brothers.”

Third sister-in-law Kang said, ”Exactly. Just look at this big villa our family has now, and all the interior work plus the appliances and all the furniture inside—it must have cost a ton, but Li Bao didn’t even blink and covered it all herself. To be honest, when I think about it sometimes, I feel kind of embarrassed.”

Third Brother Kang: ”Mm.”

He felt embarrassed too. The eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, and Little Wu must feel the same way!

In Fourth Brother Kang’s room with his wife.

”Of course we have to invest. As for how many shares, it depends on how much each one costs, and how much we can actually come up with.”

Fourth sister-in-law Kang shared her thoughts about the investment, and when she finished, Fourth Brother Kang said, ”We don’t have much money on hand, but we can borrow some.”

Fourth sister-in-law Kang had no objections: ”Okay.”

Fourth Brother Kang: ”Li Bao has always had a plan when she does something. I think this is really an opportunity we need to grab onto, otherwise if we miss it, there might not be another chance.”

”I understand what you mean.”

Isn’t it just a matter of making or losing money? Even if Li Bao’s clothing factory doesn’t make money, it’s not like they can’t afford to lose it—no big deal.

Besides, their younger sister-in-law isn’t the type to act impulsively and just casually start a factory.

She must have made preparations in all aspects before talking about her decision.

In Kang Guoan and his wife’s bedroom, after lying on the bed for a bit, Kang Guoan briefly mentioned that Kang Li was planning to start a clothing factory in town, and brought up the idea of investing. Before Wang Pan could respond, he went on to say he would invest, and then dropped it.

Wang Pan: ”How much money do we need? If what the two of us have saved isn’t enough, I can borrow some from my parents.”

Kang Guoan: ”Li Bao hasn’t said yet how much each share will cost. We’ll see later.”

”...”

Wang Pan’s lips trembled. She wanted to ask Kang Guoan if he was still mad at her, but couldn’t bring herself to say it.

She wanted to say that she knew she was wrong, and that she’d decided to change her bad habits—but again, she couldn’t quite get the words out. Right now, Kang Guoan had his back to her, lying on his side. Looking at his back, Wang Pan felt complicated, full of regret.

But what good is regret?

All she could do was change herself as quickly as possible, so that Kang Guoan could see she was different, and maybe things between them would ease up.

If not, Wang Pan was really afraid Kang Guoan would insist on divorcing her.

Yeah, she was afraid, because she knew very well just how good Kang Guoan was—if he left her, he’d have no problem finding someone better.

But for her, if she wanted to find another Kang Guoan, that definitely wouldn’t be easy.

Maybe she’d never find someone like that again.

...

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year spirit was everywhere. Tomorrow was New Year’s Eve, and the several sisters-in-law, including Elder sister-in-law Kang, bustled around, not letting Kang Li lift a finger. They said as long as they were there, it was enough, and Kang Li could play or sleep as much as she wanted.

”I want to talk to you.”

At the gate, Kang Li was originally watching the three Dumpling cats and some of the younger nephews and nieces, plus a bunch of village kids, all running around and playing. Suddenly, she heard Wang Pan’s voice behind her and turned her head: ”...” Not sure what the other wanted to talk about.

Seeing Kang Li’s confusion, Wang Pan’s face turned red and for a moment she didn’t know how to start.

When Wang Pan stayed quiet for a long while, Kang Li remained calm and asked, ”What do you want to talk to me about?”

The last day or two, Kang Li had noticed that Wang Pan’s attitude toward her family, especially her parents, had changed.
