Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 5 Sachiko and Ayao
In the next few days, Kang Qirui had to go to school early and come back late every day. Although he would start teaching in the next semester, he was a new teacher and the lesson plan had to be reviewed by the department head before it could be used in class. So Kang Qirui had to ask his colleagues how to write lesson plans in the few days before the holiday, and complete as many lesson plans as possible, so that he could have an easier time in the next semester.

The day off finally arrived, and Kang Qirui finished writing the lesson plan for the fifth lesson and prepared to go home after get off work.

"Teacher Kang, see you next semester." Colleagues also said hello to Kang Qirui and then left work. There were no classes during the summer vacation, and the Chinese Department did not have any scientific research projects, so they only needed to go to school when it was their turn to be on duty and when there were academic meetings. They did not need to come to school at other times.

Kang Ershou saw his youngest son coming home from get off work, put down the newspaper in his hand and asked, "Xiao Rui, is your vacation starting? Do you want to go back to school?"

"I have to go to school next week. I'm a new teacher and the first one on duty. I won't have to go after my shift."

"By the way, old man, how was the blind date between the bosses?"

When Kang Ershou heard this, he immediately became angry and went back to his room without saying anything. Kang Qirui immediately realized that the situation at the marriage agency was the same as in his previous life, so he went to help the old lady Wang Yulian prepare dinner.

Noon the next day.
"Grandpa, grandpa, Third Uncle brought back a beautiful girl." Tianxiu's voice came from outside, and Kang Qirui and the Kang family came to the living room.

"Hello, second brother, Aunt Kang, Uncle Kang, Sister-in-law, Grandpa, Rui, etc." When Sachiko saw Kang Qirui and the others, she greeted them with a smile on her face. Naturally, Kang Ershou sat on the armchair without being very happy.

"Why didn't you call me when you first saw me?" Tianxiu was very unhappy when he didn't hear his name.

"That's rude. You are a child and you should be the one to call me auntie first." Kang Qiyao said to Tianxiu.

"But when I go to someone else's house, I am the one who calls others first." Tianxiu was still very unconvinced.

"Shut up." Seeing Tianxiu like this, the second brother and his wife quickly stopped him from continuing.

"This kid is so cute. He wants to seek equality at such a young age." Sachiko came to Tianxiu, touched his face and praised him for being cute.

"I find that you like to launch surprise attacks." Kang Qi Zong said to A Yao.

"This is not called a surprise attack, this is called an unexpected surprise." Kang Qizu corrected from the side.

"Looking at dad's expression, he doesn't look like he's unexpectedly surprised, haha." Kang Qirui also joked.

"Uncle Kang and Aunt Kang, I don't know what gifts to bring you this time. I heard that Cantonese people are most concerned about luck, so I bought two auspicious cards for you two." Sachiko took out two cards, but no one took them.

A Yao ignored his brothers' teasing and immediately came over to take the two cards and gave them to Wang Yulian.

"This kind of card is most suitable for the elderly. It can keep them safe. Mom, take it."

"Thank you very much." Seeing that her third son had handed the gift to her, Wang Yulian felt it would be embarrassing not to take it, so she accepted the gift.

"It's okay, it's nothing." Sachiko also felt a little embarrassed.

"Why don't I have a gift?" The smart little Tianxiu started again. He also wanted a gift.

"Next time, auntie will definitely give it to you next time, okay." Sachiko seemed to like children very much. She was not angry when she heard Tianma's words. She smiled and promised to bring him a gift next time.

"Comber, have you just come back from morning tea?" After a round of greetings, everyone sat down on the sofa, and it was the guest Sachiko who started the conversation first.

"Why are you still reading the newspaper?" Wang Yulian felt embarrassed when she saw her husband still reading the newspaper and did not answer Sachiko's question, so she quietly reminded her husband to be polite.

"I haven't finished reading it yet." Kang Ershou didn't care. He didn't like people from other provinces to be his daughter-in-law. He didn't care about etiquette at all and had no intention of paying any attention to Sachiko.

"Oh, by the way, do you 'laomei' have the habit of drinking morning tea?" The second sister-in-law's words were a bit harsh. The word "laomei" was almost a personal attack.

"We always have afternoon tea when we meet with customers." Sachiko's speech was more elegant than that of her second sister-in-law. She fought back against her second sister-in-law without going too far.

"Did you hear that? She's so sociable." The second sister-in-law patted the second brother Kang Qizong first, and then said to Wang Yulian: "Grandma, no wonder people say 'Lao Mei' is very bold."

The second sister-in-law said something very unprofessional again. This sentence not only attacked Sachiko, but also offended the third brother Kang Qiyao. Isn't this implying that A Yao is cuckolded?

"Sister-in-law, Sachiko went to discuss business matters." A Yao couldn't help but retort

"Second sister-in-law is not talking about you, why are you talking so much?" Kang Ershou couldn't help but scolded A Yao when he heard him talking.

"We are not your clients. I don't think you will invite us for tea." The second sister-in-law continued her attack.

"That's not the case. I'm here just to invite everyone to have morning tea next week." It seems that Sachiko wants to take the gentle approach this time. As the saying goes, chicken legs make your teeth soft.

"Yes, you are so polite." The second brother Kang Qizon is quite good at dealing with people. Of course, it is not ruled out that he was fascinated by Sachiko's beauty.

"Miss, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Our A Yao has many admirers." Wang Yulian didn't react much when she was invited to tea.

"Yeah, this poor guy is quite lucky. The girls chasing him line up from Ximenkou to Shangxiajiu." Kang Ershou said casually. Kang Qirui knew that they would continue to argue, and later they would argue about which one is better, Hong Kong City or Shanghai City. He didn't want to get involved, so he stood up and said, "Third sister-in-law, you guys chat first. I have an appointment with a friend to talk about something this afternoon, so I'll leave you."

Kang Qirui didn't really have anything to do. He just didn't want to get involved in the verbal fight. He knew that his second sister-in-law would definitely drag him out to discuss which was better, Hong Kong or Shanghai. His second sister-in-law and Sachiko were both his sisters-in-law, and he didn't want to offend either of them, so he simply ran away. Kang Qirui walked outside until after 8pm before returning home.

At this time, the whole family was engrossed in watching TV in the living room. When Kang Qiyao saw his brother coming back, he stood up and turned off the TV.

"Old Five is back, everyone is here, let me announce the evening news now. Our unit will have housing allotted soon."

When everyone heard this, they forgot all their dissatisfaction about not having TV to watch and felt happy for the third child.

"It seems that big units are better." Old Dou Kang Ershou smiled brightly.

"Of course. I work for the foreigners, and it will take at least ten or eight years to afford a decent commercial house." A-Zu was also very emotional.

"JoJo, you're going to work for a real estate developer your whole life." The second brother gloated.

"You are different from the big boss A Rui." A Zu retorted.

"Xiao Rui, your school should have housing allocated, right?" After hearing what A Zu said, Kang Ershou, the elder brother, also became concerned about Kang Qirui. The eldest brother, a worker, and the second brother, an individual, definitely have no hope, but the fifth brother, a university teacher, has hope.

"We don't have housing distribution now, but we have housing subsidies. If you need it, you can rent a house on campus first. If you want to buy a house, you can apply for an interest-free loan of 100 months of housing subsidies." Kang Qirui shook his head and said. If it was possible to distribute housing a few years ago, it is not impossible now. Those doctoral professors still have talent apartments, but Kang Qirui does not meet the standards now, so he started to study for his doctorate under Professor Huang.

"Then where will you divide the room?" Wang Yulian was more concerned about whether her son would live far away from her in the future.

"I don't know either. They divide the land according to its area, newness and age." A Yao didn't know where he would be assigned.

"What level are you at then?" Lao Dou Kang Ershou looked anxious.

"I don't know either. The personnel department hasn't made the ranking yet." A Yao replied.

"I heard that if there are many people in the family, the house they get will be bigger. Third uncle, don't be so stupid. Just say that your whole family lives together, and then you can get a bigger house." The second sister-in-law came up with a bad idea.

"Second sister-in-law, the houses are not distributed according to the whole family, but based on your position, marital status, whether you have children, etc." Kang Qirui had also learned about the housing allocation policy from other teachers before.

"Yes, A'rui is right. My biggest problem now is that I'm not married, so I can only be assigned to a single dormitory." A Yao showed his true colors. In the end, he just wanted to use his parents' love for him to force them to agree to his marriage with Sachiko.

"Single dormitory? Is it the kind where several people live in one suite?" Grandpa added fuel to the fire. After seeing the third child nod, he continued, "Oh, it's so exciting. As soon as I open the door, I can see a few mandarin ducks playing there."

“No way, people nowadays are so open-minded?” The second brother was also very excited after hearing this.

"What does 'a series of great performances' mean?" Tianxiu didn't understand, so he asked.

"Ayao, do you think you can get a good house as soon as you get married?" The old lady Wang Yulian still cares about her son the most.

"Of course, this is the essential difference. As long as I get married, with my conditions, it is almost certain that I will get a first-class good house." A Yao almost patted his chest to make the promise in order to marry Sachiko.

"Third brother, why don't you just have a fake marriage?" The second brother Kang Qi Zong seemed not to understand the hidden meaning of A Yao's words and came up with a bad idea.

"Second brother, aren't you kidding me about my future? Cheating the organization will have serious consequences." A Yao would not be so stupid as to joke about his own future.

"If you don't tell me, who would know? You can just get married and divorced, right? Can the organization still not allow your relationship to break up? If your second sister-in-law hadn't been so persistent, I would have been prepared."

"Hey, hey, hey. What are you talking about? You're talking nonsense in front of the child." When the second sister-in-law heard that she was being talked about, she immediately interrupted the second brother. She was very dissatisfied with him saying such inappropriate words in front of Tianxiu.

"Not everyone can afford a fake marriage. Except for our eldest brother." A-Zu expressed a different opinion

"You bad boy? Are you kidding me? You're saying bad things about the boss when he's not around." The old lady Wang Yulian was the first to defend the glorious image of the boss Guang.

"I'm not saying that Big Brother would fake marriage. I'm saying that Big Brother is strong-willed and won't make a fake into reality. But some people are different. They come back with their kids while playing." A-Zu hinted that the Second Brother entered the dining hall before ringing the bell.

"I don't know how either." Tianxiu came out to make trouble again.

"You don't know anything either?" Kang Qirui teased Tianxiu deliberately.

"I won't have a fake marriage, and I won't bring a child back home." Tianma's words made everyone laugh.

"You bad boy, if you bring a baby back home, your grandma will be so happy." The second sister-in-law joked.

"Not bad, not bad. Like father, like son." The second brother also praised Tianxiu.
"You are such a bad boy! Don't teach your child bad things." Old Dou Kang Ershou scolded angrily.
"Now let's think about how to allocate rooms."
