Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"Sachiko, let me ask you a question. What do you think of me?"

Ah Yao turned the spoon, and in the end, Xianglan asked the question and Sachiko answered it. After thinking for a while, Xianglan asked this question, and Sachiko blurted out: "I think you are virtuous, sister-in-law, and you can go into the kitchen and go out to the living room."

Xianglan covered her mouth and laughed, very happy. But the second sister-in-law pointed at Sachiko and said: "You are talking nonsense with your mouth covered." Sachiko of course did not admit it, so the second sister-in-law exposed her and said: "You talked to me before, you said that the eldest sister-in-law has no taste in clothes and it is right for her not to work in a clothing store. You also said that she speaks in a country dialect and that she has no diploma. That's what she said." The second sister-in-law said the last sentence to the surprised second brother.

"I didn't say that. You remembered it wrong." Sachiko said stubbornly, and then urged: "Next round, next round."

Ah Zu, who was just told off, refused to agree. He said, "What do you mean by next round? How can we continue playing if you cheat?"

"That's right, I've already stated it, tell the truth." Er Lao supported A Zu's point of view and asked, "Have you ever said what A Chan said just now? If you have, but you don't admit it, you will be fined to drink, right?"

"It seems... yes." Sachiko admitted stutteringly, and A Yao quickly tried to smooth things over, "Yes, yes, it's okay then. I just said I won't take it to heart. Come on, come on, another round, the third round." He turned the spoon again, and this time it was the second sister-in-law who asked and A Yao answered.

The second sister-in-law scratched her head and asked, "Uncle San, what do you think of me?" The second sister-in-law really couldn't think of what to ask, so she directly asked the question that Xianglan had asked Sachiko just now.

Er Lao got excited when he heard this. He pointed at A Yao and said, "Don't worry, handsome boy. Just say whatever you want to say. I promise she won't be angry with Er Lao here."

"Then I'll be frank." After receiving the assurance, A Yao spoke more directly, "Second sister-in-law, you can describe her in eight words: thrifty and frugal, and she doesn't recognize her relatives."

"That sentence seems a bit harsh, what does it mean?" The second sister-in-law didn't feel any pain until the needle hit her, and she was still fanning the flames. A Yao recalled and said, "If you don't understand, let me give you an example. When Sachiko was in the clothing store, I didn't have to pay for clothes. But two years ago, Sachiko got pregnant and went home to rest, and resigned as the general manager of the clothing store. One time, I went to the store to buy clothes without bringing any money, and the second sister-in-law gave me the cheapest one. This is called being thrifty. Later, when I got home, she asked me to give her money back. This is called being ruthless."

The second brother frowned and said, "Is there such a thing? How come I haven't heard of it?" A Yao snorted and said nothing. Kang Qirui could understand the second sister-in-law. According to the requirements of the Metersbonwe headquarters, the entry and exit of each piece of clothing must be clear, so no one, including the second sister-in-law Zhang Yongfang, could take things from the store for free. They all had to pay.

The second sister-in-law defended herself at this time: "The clothing store is not my personal property. Many people have a share in it, and they have to report to the headquarters. Don't talk about you, Third Uncle. Even if I take a piece of clothing from the store, I have to pay. If you don't believe me, ask your wife. When she was the general manager, she had to pay for every piece of clothing she took from the store."

Sachiko nodded and said, "Hubby, you really misunderstood my second sister-in-law. It is true that everyone has to pay because it needs to be recorded and reported to the headquarters. When I was here before, you didn't have to pay, I paid for you."

Seeing what Sachiko said, Ayao knew that he had indeed misunderstood his second sister-in-law, and he felt embarrassed. Seeing this, Kang Qirui tried to smooth things over and said, "It's okay once the misunderstanding is cleared up. Come on, let's go to the next round." He turned the spoon, and this time it was Sachiko who asked the second sister-in-law questions and she answered them.

"God has opened his eyes this time, Sachiko. If you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman. Ask!" The second brother continued to fan the flames, but Sachiko didn't think of what to ask for a moment. The second sister-in-law took the initiative to say, "Don't think about it. I want to know what you want to ask, and I will answer you right now."

"Actually, you are a good person, sister-in-law. You have a good business sense and are a strong woman. You have helped everyone make a lot of money. But speaking of being a daughter-in-law, I have a few words for you."

When the second sister-in-law said this, everyone was inexplicably a little scared. She continued, "When it comes to being virtuous, you are D behind the eldest sister-in-law; when it comes to being filial to the master and grandmother, you and I are D behind you; when it comes to body shape and appearance, you are D behind Wanling; when it comes to education level, you are D behind Diana, that's all."

After the second sister-in-law finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Even Kang Qirui didn't know what to say to make things right for a moment. After a long while, Sachiko gritted her teeth and responded, "Second sister-in-law, I will remember your teachings."

Although Sachiko gave them a way out so that they were not so embarrassed, it was clear that the game could no longer be played. So they tacitly agreed to go home and did not mention going to other places to play.

The second brother, Azu, Kang Qirui and the other two went to the parking lot to get the car, and asked the others to go to the entrance of the farmhouse and wait. As Ayao was walking, he suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot to pack the D chicken for the boss."

Xianglan waved her hand and said, "I'll go back." She suddenly remembered something and changed her tone, "I'll take him to eat when I get back to Guangzhou."

"How can the Cantonese chicken be as delicious as the one here?" said A Yao.

"Then I'll bring him here to eat when I have time." Xianglan said with a smile. A Yao felt that Xianglan spoke strangely today, so he asked directly: "Sister-in-law, you are a little weird. Why are you speaking in a "I-I" tone today? You always speak in a "I-I" tone?"

Xianglan saw the car coming, glanced at Sachiko next to Ayao, pouted and said, "We are promoting Mandarin now." Then she got into Azu's car. Everyone else got into the car one after another, and the three of them drove everyone directly back to Kang's house. The planned two-day weekend trip only went to a farmhouse.

On the way back, Diana hugged Paul and muttered, "Paul is obviously from China, why does the master say he is neither Chinese nor Western?" She looked at Tianyou in Xianglan's arms, and after a careful comparison, she frowned and thought to herself, "Paul's hair is yellower and curlier, and his eyes are lighter. They often sing about black eyes, black hair and yellow skin. No wonder the master thinks Paul is neither Chinese nor Western." It has to be said that Diana is good at brainwashing herself. It was obviously her father who said hurtful things, but she thought that what he said made sense and she started to blame herself.

At this time, Tianyou, who was sleeping in Xianglan's arms, suddenly said in his sleep: "I must help the robot transform"

"Transform?" Diana suddenly had an idea and thought of what she thought was a very good idea. After returning to the Kang family, she immediately took Paul back to the room to implement her transformation plan.

Xianglan followed Diana and returned to her room. She called out to Da Lao Guang, who was resting at home because of a cold, and asked, "A Guang, do you dislike me?"

The big man who was sleeping soundly was suddenly woken up. He was still fully awake. When he heard such a question, he suspected that he was hallucinating. After a long while, he sat up and said, "I should be the one asking you this question, right? There is such a big age gap between us. I am afraid that you will dislike me now."

"Do you think I'm particularly uncultured?" Xianglan asked again.

Big Brother Guang was even more confused. He said uncertainly, "Wife, I always feel like you are scolding me. When you say I am uneducated, am I good enough? Didn't I also graduate from junior high school? And you know what everyone says about me. Everyone calls me sweet potato. How can I think you are uneducated?"

"Isn't that still uneducated?" Xianglan sighed and said, "It seems that Sachiko is right. I am both old-fashioned and uneducated." She almost burst into tears. Da Laoguang quickly got out of bed to get her a tissue to wipe her tears, and asked with concern, "Did Sachiko really say that to you?"

"No, I must be a cultured person with taste." Xianglan did not respond to Da Lao Guang's words, but talked to herself.

When Sachiko got home, she didn't go in, but took a taxi to the coffee shop downstairs from Yumi. She had just made an appointment with Yumi to have afternoon tea. When she arrived, Yumi had already ordered something. Yumi asked, "Why did you suddenly ask me out? Did you quarrel with your cousin's husband again?"

"This time it's not his fault." Sachiko sat down and took a sip of coffee, and said, "This time it's all his family members who look down on me."

"No way? You are so smart. You have helped them make so much money by running the clothing store and the confinement center in the past few years. Why do they look down on you?" Yumi was confused. She always thought that her cousin was the most powerful woman in the world.

Speaking of this, Sachiko was furious. She shook her head and said, "I used to think so too. I work so hard every day to help them make money, but do you know what they say?"

"What did you say?" Yumi asked.

"They said I only knew how to work and didn't know how to take care of my family. I'm not as virtuous as my eldest sister-in-law, nor as filial to my parents as my second sister-in-law. That's all, but they do take better care of the family than I do. But they also said I'm not as educated as Diana, nor as pretty as Wanling." Sachiko became more and more angry as she spoke. She was fine with other people, but what she hated most was comparing her with Zhu Wanling.

At first, both the old Dou mother and Zhu's wife wanted Zhu Wanling to marry A Yao, but the goddess was ruthless and the king had no intention. A Yao insisted on marrying her, Hu Xingzi, and Zhu Wanling also matched with Kang Qirui. For so many years, she and Zhu Wanling had nothing to say to each other, and they tacitly treated each other as transparent.

"Don't bother with them. I think where there are many women, there will be many troubles. These things are very normal. It's good enough if everyone can maintain superficial harmony." Yumi comforted.

"But now I know what they are thinking. It would have been fine if I didn't know, but now that I know I still feel uncomfortable." Sachiko still looked unhappy.

Yumi thought for a moment and said, "It's very simple. To change other people's views of you, you must first change yourself. If they say that you don't take good care of your family, then you can do more work and take care of your family. For example, if you are free today, you can go shopping and cook a sumptuous dinner for everyone. If they say that you are not filial enough to your godparents, then you can take them out for tea more often and show more concern for them, isn't that enough?"

Sachiko thought about it and felt that what Yumi said made a lot of sense, so she couldn't wait to say goodbye to Yumi and go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

The second sister-in-law who was also criticized today did not react at all. Even Zhu Wanling asked Kang Qirui after returning to her room: "Hey, what do you think of me if it's my turn today?"

Faced with this question of death, Kang Qirui said without hesitation: "Of course you are kind, virtuous, gentle, generous, filial, beautiful and in good shape. You are definitely a model of a good daughter-in-law, a good daughter, a good wife and a good mother in the 21st century."

Zhu Wanling was secretly happy, but on the surface she pushed Kang Qirui away and said, "I don't want to bother with you. You're the only one who speaks nicely."

It can be said that among the five daughters-in-law of the Kang family, only the second sister-in-law is not a person who is not in conflict with her husband! (End of this chapter)
