Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 78 - 77: Weakness

Gong Ruwen looked at the two people whispering outside, really wanting to rush out and ask them if they think speaking softly outside makes them safe in the city?

They should know that with glass, all the sounds from outside can be heard.

Gong Ruwen really didn’t dare to look at Zhao Xuran’s angry expression, it definitely wouldn’t be a good one.

"Don’t think that speaking softly solves it."

"I’ll be using stricter methods to determine the quality of your work today."

Zhao Xuran turned a page of his book, continuing to read seriously, not caring at all about Gong Ruini and the others’ reactions to his words.

No way, Gong Ruini was truly dumbfounded, how did this guy become increasingly strict?

In the time that followed, no matter how much dissatisfaction Gong Ruini and Zhao Guangran had with Zhao Xuran, they didn’t dare to complain, just worrying he would catch them again, which would be a big problem.

Gong Ruwen thought Gong Ruini and the others would complain a bit, but unexpectedly they were so well-behaved, really surprising him.

He looked at Zhao Xuran in disbelief, really not understanding how someone just a few years older could suppress Gong Ruini and the others like that.

"To them, only if you are stronger and better do they actually respect you."

"Do you think reasoning with them works?" Zhao Xuran expressed that reasoning with these two troublemakers is dreaming.

Can’t reason? In Gong Ruwen’s heart, he kept complaining, reasoning with Zhao Guangran surely doesn’t work, everyone knows how unreasonable Zhao Guangran is.

But his own sister is different, reasoning with her definitely works, isn’t this making his own sister sound so bad?

"Ni Zi is reasonable, but with Zhao Guangran around, do you think they won’t go crazy?" Zhao Xuran didn’t mention that every time he reasoned with Gong Ruini, he felt she knew more than he did.

This really surprised Zhao Xuran, if the Gong Family’s upbringing was good, why was Gong Ruwen a bit lacking?

Zhao Xuran thought for a long time and still didn’t understand this reasoning, he could only say maybe this kid was often sickly since childhood, so after experiencing more, he thought more.

However, Zhao Xuran strangely discovered that Gong Ruini was a bit afraid of him, which puzzled Zhao Xuran even more.

If you can’t understand it, then don’t try, just make reasonable use of that little bit of intimidation.

When Zhao Guangran goes crazy, there’s really a possibility he won’t reason with himself or bring Gong Ruini along to be reasonable.

Gong Ruini didn’t know that Zhao Xuran had discovered her weakness and was seriously working. Since she couldn’t make Zhao Xuran relent, she had to work swiftly to finish before the heavy snow arrived.

Cai Meina went to add more firewood to the greenhouse, and when she came out, she saw her daughter busy, which made her motherly heartache. She wanted to help, but since nobody from the Zhao Family came out, what would she count as?

She could only quietly return to the kitchen, take out some ginger, and make ginger tea for the children to dispel the cold from their bodies.

Cai Meina’s idea wasn’t bad, but Gong Ruini really didn’t like the taste of ginger, especially when ginger tea was made without white sugar or brown sugar. That taste was indescribable for Gong Ruini.

Zhao Guangran didn’t really like it either, but he could at least stop openly and take a rest, "Wow, it’s bitter."

Zhao Guangran said the taste of the ginger tea wasn’t good, far from the ginger tea mom made for him before, "Why isn’t it red?"

Zhao Guangran remembered that the last time mom made ginger tea, it was red, why was Aunt Cai’s ginger tea different?

The red color is from brown sugar, "That’s brown sugar ginger tea, and this is just ginger tea." Someone making you ginger tea is already good enough, how can you still complain?

No matter how much Gong Ruini disliked this bowl of ginger tea, after all, it was made by her own mother; she had to support it, especially when Zhao Guangran was full of complaints.

"There is brown sugar, but not much, it’s saved for your mom after childbirth." Since Zhan Jing’s pregnancy, Zhao Gang had been consciously preparing many things.

Brown sugar is definitely a necessary item, how could Cai Meina use such an important supply, especially when Zhao Guangran and the others were being punished?

Cai Meina remembered that when she made ginger tea before, Zhao Xuran specifically came over to say not to use brown sugar, Cai Meina realized this boy really was harsh.

Oh, brown sugar is saved for Zhan Jing after childbirth, no matter how much Gong Ruini wanted to drink brown sugar water, she couldn’t compete with a pregnant woman over it.

Although it was during spring when giving birth, supplies in those days were tight, just this little bit of brown sugar cost Zhao Gang a lot of effort.

"Mom, I’ll drink it." Isn’t it just bitter and spicy ginger tea? Close your eyes and stomp your feet, and you can finish it.

Gong Ruini just drank the ginger tea like this, what could Zhao Guangran do, even if unhappy, he could only swallow it into his stomach.

He couldn’t lose his temper with Aunt Cai, otherwise, his parents or even his brother wouldn’t spare him.

More importantly, Gong Ruini was watching him closely, and if he said anything bad, he never knew when she would bring it up again.

For the sake of safety, Zhao Guangran could only endure it, quickly drank a bowl of ginger tea, and immediately went back to work.

Zhao Xuran watched Zhao Guangran continue working through the window, feeling very satisfied, "Not bad, not bad, no slacking off under the excuse of drinking tea."

This sounded so fake, Gong Ruwen had been following Zhao Xuran these days and saw many other sides of him, finally realizing why his smart sister was afraid of Zhao Xuran.

Gong Ruwen indicated that if it were him, he would be scared too, this guy was really scary, couldn’t afford to mess with him, or there’d be consequences.

Seeing Gong Ruwen’s somewhat guilty eyes, Zhao Xuran indicated his strategy of punishing as a deterrent these days wasn’t bad. It’s not that he had to be the leader, but he always felt that giving them a little face would lead to Gong Ruini instigating rebellion.

Zhao Xuran worried about his silly brother becoming even more foolish, which wasn’t good, so he had to stop it at the source.

Not sure if it was the stimulant of ginger tea or Zhao Xuran’s authoritative presence, but today Gong Ruini and Zhao Guangran worked with such speed and focus, not daring to cut corners.

Really afraid that Zhao Xuran would find their results unsatisfactory and make them redo it. There were rumors of heavy snow coming tomorrow, and that would be fatal, wouldn’t it?

Zhan Jing watched the two kids working seriously outside the window, "Let them go for today, don’t be too harsh, it’ll start snowing heavily tonight."

Zhan Jing was really afraid her oldest son would be too serious, and her younger son couldn’t take it, then run to her for help, not knowing how she would respond.

"Don’t worry, there won’t be any redoing today." Zhao Xuran declared he wasn’t that bad of a person.

"They’ve already realized their mistakes and are working diligently."

"There’s been absolutely no slacking, and just for this dedication, I’ll let them pass." Zhao Xuran calmly stated it wasn’t about making his own mother happy, but because Gong Ruini and the others deserved it.

Gong Ruwen was puzzled, obviously not going out and not always watching outside, so how did he know his sister was working diligently? His eyesight was amazing.
