CHAPTER 772: CHAPTER 772: AM I OVERTHINKING?

Kang Li spoke, her eyes and brows revealing an air of ease and comfort.

Wu Yue’s face turned serious, "Stop being mad at me. I have only one thing to say, I won’t accept your resignation."

"Okay, I understand your attitude." She stood up from the sofa, picked up her bag, and walked towards the door, "You’re busy, I’ll contact you later."

If she didn’t want to work, who could force her to?

"Li Bao..."

Wu Yue hurriedly stood up and chased after Kang Li.

"No need to see me out. Just get back to your work."

Kang Li waved her hand nonchalantly and walked away under Wu Yue’s gaze.

So carefree!

To say she didn’t want to work and just not work, while she had to hustle through wind and rain, getting up early and returning late to her job.

Alas! No one could compare!

Wu Yue shook her head, deeply feeling that Kang Li lived a life so unrestrained and uninhibited, something she couldn’t match.

Moving leisurely on her bike, Kang Li left the TV station and swung by the department store, then headed to the elementary school to pick up Ruirui on her way back to the compound.

"Full?"

They had noodles with tomato and egg for lunch. Seeing her little man put down his utensils, Kang Li asked with a smile.

Min Rui nodded, "Yes, I’m full. Mom and Grandma eat more."

It was at this moment, as Kang Li stared at her eldest son, she found herself inadvertently looking longer than usual, and shortly after, she recalled Director Xiao’s face. However, she quickly shook her head, thinking she was overthinking it. Seeing her like this, Min Rui blinked and asked in his innocent voice, "Is there something dirty on my face, Mom?"

Kang Li shook her head, "No."

Min Rui was puzzled.

If there was nothing dirty on his face, why had his mom stared at him for so long?

Cai Xiufen noticed Kang Li’s unusual behavior, but she chose to ignore it for the moment.

"At lunch, why did you stare at Ruirui and shake your head?" After dropping Min Rui off at school, Kang Li rode her bike back and as soon as she entered the living room, she was greeted by her mother’s voice. She paused, then shook her head, "It’s nothing."

Cai Xiufen didn’t believe her, "You must have thought of something, right?"

"Mom... you’re overthinking it."

Kang Li smiled but didn’t plan to explain her unusual behavior to her mother.

After all, how could she explain?

There were many people in the world who resembled others.

As she thought this, the doubts in Kang Li’s mind were not resolved.

"I’m overthinking it?"

Cai Xiufen looked at her beloved daughter and shook her head, saying, "Well, if you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t ask."

Pausing, she then asked, "Starting today, are you going to be free?"

Sitting on the sofa, Kang Li’s eyes curved, "If I can quit the job at the TV station, I could really rest at home!"

Cai Xiufen asked, "You want to quit your job at the TV station? Is it because you are not feeling well and can’t work, or..."

"I just don’t want to work. It has nothing to do with my health. Don’t worry."

Seeing her mother anxious and worried, Kang Li couldn’t help but reassure her.

"Then why quit a good job?"

Cai Xiufen looked disapproving: "Back in our hometown, people struggle to find even temporary jobs in the city. Those educated youths from our village, if they had city jobs, would they choose to go back there to earn work points?"

Kang Li chuckled, "The wide world offers broad prospects. Those educated youths went to the countryside to respond to the national call and help our farmers with development."

"Your mother was the women’s director in our village, what don’t I know? In recent years, educated youths have been coming and going in our village, and those who could leave were as happy as could be.

Moreover, when they heard that the Commune was giving our village a quota for the Worker-Peasant-Soldier University, they all came running to our house. You knew about this, right?"
