BuzzNovelChapter 597: Chapter 597 The Wishful Abacus "I would seriously consider going with Xingxing and her mother to my father-in-law's place to stay." "What nonsense are you spouting?!" Father Xu asserted his authority, "Have you no respect, speaking to your mother like that? I'm laying it out right now, if you dare beca live-in son-in-law, I will break your legs!" Forgetting his parents after getting a wife, did he really think his father had no temper? Father Xu's face darkened as he stared directly at his eldest son.

At that moment, Xu Chunwang stretched his back and said, "Dad, Mom, Third Sister and the others just ran off like that. What are your plans now?" "If they have the nerve, they shouldn't cback." Father Xu's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot as he spoke, turning his gaze to Mrs. Xu: "Chunxia is the sage as Li Bao. Li Bao has been married nearly two years now. You don't seriously think we want Chunxia to end up stuck with us, do you?" Mrs. Xu rose and sat back down on the stool, "When did I ever say that?" "You didn't, but why go after her face? She was never that good-looking to begin with, and she's dark-skinned. Now you've made her face even less presentable after hitting her. What family would want to marry a daughter like that?" Father Xu was deeply worried. His third daughter was twenty already and didn't even have a prospect for marriage. If they delayed any longer, she'd remain on their hands. Or were they going to let her end up with those old bachelors in their forties who still hadn't found wives? "Isn't Li Bao back now? Considering her close relationship with our thankless girl, as long as she swallows her pride and asks Li Bao for help, she might also be able to marry off to North City. Like Li Bao, she might return one day driving a car, making her parents proud." Hearing Mrs. Xu's words, Father Xu paused for a moment before asking, "Do you think it's possible?" "Li Bao has a soft heart." Her eyes full of intrigue, Mrs. Xu said, "Who knows, our thankless girl got a few slaps fromtoday; it might actually help her get Li Bao's assistance." Xu Chunwang's eyes shone: "Mom, if Third Sister could really marry off to North City like Kang Libao and find a son-in-law like Kang Li's husband, I would definitely hold her in high regard!" He had heard that ever since Kang Libao got married, not only did her family often receive packages sent from North City, but Kang Guoan and Kang Yiyang, uncle and nephew, had also found jobs there and were now eating public grain.
If such good fortune were to fall on him, he would absolutely keep his word and respect Xu Chunxia, that thankless girl.
"That girl is full of schemes, pretending to be friends with Li Bao since childhood, but in reality always taking advantage of her and treating Li Bao like a fool..." Father Xu cut off Mrs. Xu before she could finish, "Hold your tongue. If outsiders hear this, the very thing you're planning will never happen!" "I'm talking about it here in our own home, with just you, me, and Chunwang." Mrs. Xu pouted, undeterred by what Father Xu had said.
Father Xu responded sternly, "Walls have ears."
"I'll go find Third Sister and them, share Mom's thoughts with Thirch Sister, and let her think it over, to see how she can convince Kang Li to help her."
The thought of going to North City and being able to work there set Xu Chunwang's heart ablaze with eagerness. He couldn't wait a moment longer to find Xu Chunxia and tell her about Mrs. Xu's plans.
What Xu Chunwang, Father Xu, and Mrs. Xu didn't realize was that Xu Chunxia and her sisters, who had run away from home, had coincidentally encountered Kang Li and her group being seen off by Big Uncle Kang's family at their courtyard gate. In that moment, Xu Chunxia was utterly devastated,
