Chapter 774: Chapter 774: This Mother’s Love is Very Pure

Cai Xiufen’s mouth twitched, “That is a matter that concerns your whole life. You might not resent it, but I still have a knot in my chest to this day.”

“My little brother now has a government job, and I live comfortably as well. What’s there for Mom to be unhappy about?”

With laughter filling her bright, fox-like eyes, Kang Li smiled as she fixed her gaze steadily on her dear mother.

“But you’re about to resign, how can I be happy about that?”

Giving her beloved daughter a sidelong glance, Cai Xiufen sighed, “If you’re worried about Ruirui and the kids, isn’t Mom here to help you take care of them? You go to work, come home and just rest. What’s so bad about that?”

Kang Li: “The station wants to transfer me to be a news anchor.”

Cai Xiufen: “Is that the job where you just sit there without moving, only speaking with your mouth?”

Kang Li: “Sometimes people have to flip through news scripts; it’s not like staying still all the time.” Her mother almost described a news anchor as a wooden figure; Kang Li would have burst out laughing if she didn’t have such good self-control.

Waving her hand, Cai Xiufen said, “No matter if you move or not, sitting there doesn’t seem that long to me. Can’t you withstand it?”

As the conversation ended, Cai Xiufen scrutinized her treasured daughter: “It shouldn’t be like that; you’re not a fidgety monkey. Not to mention sitting in one place for an hour, surely sitting still for twenty or thirty minutes should be no problem, right?”

“Mom…” It’s not about whether I can sit still or not! Kang Li made a face like a bitter melon, “I admit it’s not about being able to sit still; I just don’t want to go to work every single day.”

Cai Xiufen didn’t understand, “Why not? Others would bend over backward to have a job, yet you’re resisting it. Li Bao, tell your mother, what exactly are you thinking? If it’s for health reasons, I definitely won’t say much, but you said yourself you’re in good shape. What’s going on with always staying home instead of working?”

“…”

How should she explain? Should she say that in her past life, she collapsed in her study from overworking… and when she opened her eyes again, she was no longer her former self?

Kang Li gave a wry smile in her heart.

After a long silence, not hearing her beloved daughter speak and sensing that her mood seemed a bit off, Cai Xiufen finally said, “Alright then, if you really don’t want to work, don’t work. In the end, you’re living your life. How many years can I nag you by your side? Besides, the greatest wish of your mom and dad in this life is simply for you to have a peaceful and smooth life.”

“The station hasn’t approved my resignation yet. I’ll give it some good thought.”

Kang Li suddenly interjected. Hearing this, Cai Xiufen was slightly startled but did not say anything further.

The living room fell into a silence so profound you could hear a pin drop.

Not taking care of one’s body and having too much work isn’t good, but on the flip side, if because of past events, one only yearns to be a salted fish, could that really be okay?

Especially for her, was this genuinely the life she wanted to live?

The answer was no.

If she truly wanted to just be a salted fish, why bother sending articles to the newspaper?

If it was for the sake of improving the quality of life, that wouldn’t stand up either, since Professor Luo’s income was more than enough to support him and their three cubs.

As her thoughts meandered to this point, Kang Li shook her head with a bitter smile in her heart. It seemed… after all, she was not accustomed to being completely idle.

But… being an anchor was certainly not her hobby.

“If you’re tired, go back to your room and sleep.”

As she spoke, Cai Xiufen stood up, ready to return to her own room. Just then, Kang Li called out to her mother, “Mom, Luo Yanqing told me that I could go to college the year after next. I want to stay at home and review thoroughly.”

“Was it really Yanqing who said that?”

Cai Xiufen confirmed.

“You know I’ve never lied to you.”
