Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"Guang, don't cut it so deep, or there won't be anything to eat."

That afternoon, Da Lao Guang was helping to peel potatoes, and the nanny looked at him and said something. Although the Kang family has hired a nanny for two or three years, the nanny still often takes the initiative to help. If the Kang family has such a large group of people and only relies on one nanny, it will take a long time to cook meals, and the dishes will be cold by the time they are done.

"No, Mom, these have sprouted. They will be poisonous if you don't peel them." Da Lao Guang replied. The mother ignored him and went back to the kitchen to cook with Xiu Gu.

At this time, the phone in the living room rang. Kang Qirui put down the newspaper and answered it: "Hello, Kang Mansion, who are you looking for?" Kang Qirui and the second brother both liked to call the Kang family's West Gate mansion the Kang Mansion. After listening for a while, he covered the receiver and said to the eldest brother Guang: "Big brother, it's for you."

The boss wiped his hands, picked up the phone and asked in confusion: "Who is it?"

"Agen? Which Agen?"

"The Agen I used to cut in line with? Hello, hello!"

"I haven't seen you for more than 20 years. How did you get my phone number? What's going on? What? Did A-Di's husband take her to the hospital for a checkup and find out she has cancer?"

"Agen, here, please give her my regards and tell her not to think too much. The most important thing in life is to be optimistic. I will find a way to help her. Bye."

Kang Qirui listened to what Lao Guang was saying on the phone and roughly understood the whole situation. After Lao Guang hung up the phone, he said, "Lao, your friend has been diagnosed with cancer? Why don't you let her come out to see a doctor? Wanling can help make an appointment for a specialist and a bed."

The boss shook his head and sighed, "It's useless. The doctor said it's already in the terminal stage and even gods can't save it. How could this happen? People say good people will be rewarded. This person has such a kind heart, how could he get this disease?"

Kang Qirui couldn't answer this question. Seeing that Da Lao Guang was in a bad mood, he took over his job of peeling potatoes. When he was almost done and saw that Da Lao Guang's face looked better, he said, "Anyway, if you need my help with anything, just tell me."

Da Lao Guang nodded and went back to his room. After a while, Kang Qirui saw him running out and didn't come back until dinner. According to Kang Qirui's observation, Da Lao Guang was obviously in a much better mood after this trip.

After dinner, everyone watched TV in the living room as usual. Just when they were watching happily, Xianglan's angry voice came from Da Lao Guang's room: "How can this be let go? Do you think it's two dollars? It's two thousand dollars, I have to figure it out."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise when they heard that. The second brother and A'zu were even more curious and leaned on the door of the eldest brother's room to listen to the sounds inside. Others also came to the door to listen to the noise. Only Kang Qirui looked thoughtful.

All I heard was the boss saying, "Can you keep your voice down? If you insist that they took it, how are we going to get along with each other in the future?"

"I'm not sure that someone took it, but the money is gone." This was Xianglan's voice. As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the room opened from the inside. Erlao and A'zu were caught off guard and fell directly into the room.

"What are you doing?" The big boss asked, looking at everyone.

Er Lao and A Zu got up from the ground and said awkwardly: "I thought something happened so we could go in and help."

"What can I help you with?" The boss was speechless. "You eavesdropped, believe it or not, I will sue you for violating my privacy."

"Why are you hiding anything, uncle? These things can be big or small." The second sister-in-law stood up and said, "You are now suspecting all of us. You need to explain clearly, otherwise we will not agree."

The boss was stunned for a moment, and then asked after a while: "Did you all hear it?"

The second brother said angrily: "It's so loud that people can hear it nine blocks away. Big brother, money is very sensitive. You have to understand it clearly, so as to avoid conflicts between brothers."

"That's right, boss. I have nothing to do with this matter." A Zu walked up to the boss Guang and said, "I, Kang Qi Zu, can be said to be a rising star in the film and television industry. With my current status, do I need to steal two thousand yuan? As long as I nod, a lot of people who want to act will give me money. So I am completely innocent."

The second old man glanced at him and snorted, "Hey, handsome guy, what do you mean by that? Do I really need to steal two thousand dollars?" The second old man looked like a wealthy man.

The old lady had gone back to her room to sleep, but when she heard the quarrel she came out and asked, "What's going on? It's causing so much unrest in our home."

Xianglan heard this and said, "Dad, Mom, this is what happened. The tricycle that A-Guang used to buy goods broke down. He has been riding a bicycle to buy goods these days. Today I went to withdraw 2,000 yuan in cash and put it under my pillow. I was planning to buy a new tricycle tomorrow. But I couldn't find it."

"Maybe we didn't look for it carefully enough. It will be fine once we find it later." The eldest brother smiled and said. The old man nodded and said, "Then let's find it first. A few days ago, my second sister-in-law said that she lost 8,000 yuan, but she found it later."

Xianglan shook her head and said, "But I looked carefully, throughout the entire room, but I couldn't find it." The second sister-in-law looked at Xianglan, then looked at Da Laoguang. Seeing that Da Laoguang avoided her gaze, she said, "The one who is in the same boat is either you or him."

"We are all brothers. Let me say this again. I have been in the boss's room less than three times in my life." A Zu said.

The second brother glanced at him again and snorted, "What are you talking about? Three times? You don't know how many times you went in there when the boss bought the DVD before."

Ah Zu was speechless for a moment, but he quickly found a target to fight back. He pointed at his second sister-in-law and said, "I remember now. I saw my second sister-in-law sneaking in today."

The second sister-in-law got excited when she heard this. She stood up and shouted, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Which eye of yours saw me go in? I tell you, if I took the money, my hands would rot, and if I ate the food, my intestines would rot."

"Okay, okay, do you want to swear to heaven?" The maid quickly pulled the second sister-in-law and A-Zu apart to stop them from arguing. Xianglan then said, "Actually, I don't want to blame everyone for taking the money. I just think this is weird."

The big boss didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's lost or not, as long as it's a family member, it's fine for anyone who's short of money to use it."

Everyone was unhappy when he said that. It was like saying that everyone took it. The second brother said, "What do you mean it's okay to use it when you are short of money? No! This matter must be investigated and the thief must be found."

"That's right, this matter must be investigated thoroughly, otherwise if people tell others about it, they will think something has happened to us." Sachiko also supported a thorough investigation.

Kang Qirui thought about it and deliberately said, "Since the situation is so serious, why not just call 110 to report it to the police." Everyone was very supportive of what he said, only the big boss disagreed, "No, no, why make the situation worse? Maybe we just didn't look for it seriously. Okay, okay, let's go in and look for it again."

As he was about to pull Xianglan back to the room, Kang Qirui stopped him and said, "Boss, you have a problem."

"What's my problem?" The boss was shocked and said, "Get out of the way, we still have to go in and find the money."

Kang Qirui didn't let them go, but continued to block the door and said, "From just now until now, it's you, the victim, who has been preventing everyone from getting to the bottom of the matter. It was you who didn't let us call the police just now. Even if you don't suspect your family, didn't you expect that someone else might have come in and stolen it?"

He paused, then continued, "Is it about the phone call this afternoon? Boss, there's no need to hide this kind of thing. Many times, even though there's nothing wrong with it, a huge incident can still happen just because you choose to hide it."

"A Guang, what's going on?" asked the old lady Dou.

Seeing this, the boss knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he told the story. It turned out that he had been thinking about how to help that old lady since he received the call in the afternoon. After thinking it over, he decided that it would be best to give her money directly, so he sent the two thousand yuan under his pillow.

Xianglan glared at him angrily after hearing this and said, "I know you have a good heart, but do I have a bad heart? You told me about this and discussed it with me, can I still blame you for not letting you use the money to help others? You didn't tell me that you secretly took the money away, and when I found out you didn't tell the truth and caused the whole family to get angry. How can you expect me to say good things about you?"

"It's my fault." The boss scratched his head and apologized to everyone.

Just when everyone was about to leave, the second sister-in-law suddenly pulled Xianglan and said in a sarcastic tone: "Sister-in-law, your husband is a good man. But think about it, if that person is a man, will uncle still be so enthusiastic?"

The boss was dumbfounded. He had never thought that things could turn out this way. Facing Xianglan's questioning eyes, he had no choice but to say, "Achan, what are you talking about? I used to live and work with her in her home. I ate and used her things. There were both men and women in the family. Now that she is in trouble, shouldn't I help her? Can men help but not women? Wouldn't that be ungrateful?"

"Oh," the second sister-in-law paused and asked, "How old is she?"

Before Lao Guang said anything, Xianglan asked doubtfully, "What does this matter?" The second sister-in-law said to Xianglan in front of Lao Guang, "Think about it, if she is about the same age as uncle, maybe she is an old lover. If she is an old lover, maybe they will rekindle their old love."

"What are you talking about? She may be over 90 now." The eldest brother denied it. The second sister-in-law laughed, "Over 90? What difference does it make whether she gets cancer or not? They are both close, why are you so nervous?"

Xianglan also reacted immediately and said, "You're lying. If she's over 90 now, she was over 60 20 years ago. You told me that when you were sent to work in the countryside, you went up the mountain to catch birds and went down the river to swim together. She's over 60 now. How can she still crawl and swim?"

"You're wrong, you're wrong. Actually, the one who's over 90 years old is her grandmother, and the sick one is the granddaughter." Da Lao Guang immediately changed his words.

Everyone stared at him with disbelief. Kang Qirui shook his head helplessly. It seemed that the boss still didn't listen to what he said just now. Many things are obviously small things, but they become big things when they are concealed. (End of this chapter)
