CHAPTER 627: CHAPTER 627: SHOCKING

But he would take good care of his younger siblings, and they would obediently listen and not cause their new mother too much worry. That way, the new mother wouldn’t find it hard to be in their home.

Moreover, Min Rui liked Grandma’s and Grandpa’s house and everyone in it. He could see that Grandma, Grandpa, the uncles, aunts, and cousins all cared a lot about his mother.

To set Grandma and Grandpa’s minds at ease, in the days to come, he and his siblings would protect their mother, love her, and always treat her well!

...

"Were there any issues with the tables, stools, or dinnerware?" It was almost four o’clock in the afternoon when Big Brother Kang and Third Brother Kang returned with a few younger relatives after delivering the items that needed returning. Cai Xiufen casually asked as she saw the group return.

Big Brother Kang, "Two bowls and one plate broke, and we were short two spoons and five pairs of chopsticks. I’ve compensated the household."

Cai Xiufen, "Compensating them is fine. Have a seat, Li Bao has something to tell you all."

The hall was filled with people, although there were no outsiders.

"Here’s the thing, I want to take this opportunity while Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, Fourth Brother, and Fourth Sister-in-law are here to tell you that I’m going abroad to compete in a tournament next month. It’s a big deal for our family, so I thought I should inform everyone. Otherwise, you might hear about it or see it directly on TV, and I’m afraid I’d be in trouble."

Towards the end, Kang Li made a joke.

Kang Guosheng, "Going abroad to compete? Tell us more."

Kang Li, "It’s a sports competition."

Kang Guosheng, "Representing the country?"

Kang Li nodded, "Mmm."

Kang Guosheng’s lips pursed slightly as he looked at Kang Li for a while, "Li Bao, are you sure you’re not joking?"

Kang Li shook her head, "I was discovered by accident. I didn’t want to agree initially, but that leader convinced me. I agreed and will try to win glory for our country."

"Discovered by accident? Tell us, what kind of accident was it?" Kang Guosheng asked seriously, "You remember your health condition, don’t you?"

As Kang Li spoke, she saw the concerned gazes of everyone in the room, smiled, and added, "I really am much better, you have to believe me."

Everyone, including Captain Kang and his wife, remained silent.

Kang Li couldn’t help feeling a bit uneasy, and she gave a dry cough before detailing how she was discovered. Finally, she said to Kang Yichen, "Chenchen, go to the backyard and bring that iron rod for your aunt."

Kang Yichen looked towards Captain Kang.

"Go ahead,"

the Captain ordered.

In a short while, Kang Yichen returned, passing an iron rod as thick as an adult’s wrist to Kang Li. He asked curiously, "Aunt, what do you need this iron rod for?"

"Sit back on your stool and watch."

Kang Li spoke as she easily bent the iron rod under the focused gaze of everyone in the house, twisted it into a pretzel shape, and then restored it to its original form.

Apart from Luo Yanqing and the elderly couple, Captain Kang, everyone else was utterly astonished.

Kang Guosheng stood up, walked to Kang Li, and took the iron rod, trying with all his might. Not to speak of twisting it into a pretzel, he couldn’t even bend it slightly.

He looked utterly shocked, "Your strength..."

"When I was six, I accidentally discovered that I was very strong. I was really scared at the time, afraid that people would call me a monster,
