Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 906 - 908: The Strong Zhang Lan

The children excitedly hugged each other, exchanging greetings.

Of course, more of them said, "Gong Jiaming, you’re hopeless." Gong Ruwen knew in Beijing, that guy would follow them to exercise.

But upon returning to his Southern hometown, this precious baby of the family definitely wouldn’t work so hard.

But surprisingly, he had grown so fat that Gong Ruwen couldn’t bear to look directly at him.

"You’re fat, Brother Xiao Ming, looking like this won’t make boys like you." Time really is a butcher’s knife; how has a nice-looking young man turned into a pighead?

"Wow, bro, you’ve gotten fat."

"Brother, you’re so ugly like this, girls won’t like you." Gong Ruzhi’s defining trait was being blunt and always hitting where it hurt.

Darn it, everyone keeps calling him fat, shouldn’t they be having a nice catch-up talk since they haven’t seen each other for a while?

In front of his friends, Gong Jiaming could show his big brother’s facade, making the little brothers below him not dare to speak annoying words.

But with the few people before him now, Gong Jiaming felt indignant but really didn’t dare to retort.

"Bro, we’re really doing this for your own good. You might not know, Brother Guangran and Sister Nana are together." Gong Ruzhi gloated.

Honestly, he already knew this. Gong Jiaming couldn’t stand Zhao Guangran bragging every time they spoke.

He originally thought that without Zhao Guangran here, there would be one less person showing off, but unexpectedly, Gong Ruzhi, the little sidekick, made the comment.

"And do you know? Sister and Brother Xuran are together." Gong Ruzhi knew well that Zhao Guangran and Cao Na being together wasn’t big news; with such a personality, Guangran must have bragged in front of Gong Jiaming. But now the news he shared was explosive.

What? Zhao Xuran and Ni Zi are together? Gong Zhuang’s family of three were stunned, all sorts of disbelief showing on their faces.

"Oh my, Ni Zi, why would you rashly go with Xuran?" Thinking about Zhao Xuran’s serious face, Gong Jiaming felt all sorts of exhaustion, unwilling to recall those hard days.

Gong Jiaxin was also taken aback, agreeing with Gong Jiaming’s words even if she didn’t voice them. Zhao Xuran is a good brother, but is he suitable to be with her? Wouldn’t you always be concerned about him?

In summary, Brother and Sister Jiaxin really couldn’t understand why Gong Ruini would choose Zhao Xuran.

Gong Zhuang was surprised but not overly so; the second brother got along well with Zhao Gang. The kids grew up together, and their feelings were naturally good, but no amount of affection beats alliances by marriage.

Gong Zhuang truly admired his second brother, strong.

Facing Gong Zhuang’s gaze, Gong Tao realized what he was thinking; they supposed Ni Zi and Zhao Xuran being together had something to do with the family’s alliance. He forced a smile, having considered a family alliance, but with Zhao Guangran, not considering Zhao Xuran.

Forget it, no need to explain, not knowing how to explain; it’s just how it ends up.

"Mom, how’s it going?" Gong Tao asked, concerned for the main character he felt worried went through so much to hurry back.

"You didn’t come back, how could she leave? But even so, it should happen within these two days, for the sake of seeing you quarrel in the hospital." Gong Qiang and Gong Zheng, the brothers put tremendous effort into prolonging Zhang Lan’s life, Gong Zhuang didn’t know if Zhang Lan regretted enduring while suffering all this pain.

Messing around? Gong Tao didn’t understand as he looked at Gong Zhuang.

"Anyway, it’s the factory’s money; Gong Qiang wants this ruckus, and I can’t help it."

"No matter what mom says, you must hold on." Gong Zhuang is afraid Zhang Lan could use her last wish to force Gong Tao’s agreement.

"I have no money, I’m just a laborer," Zhang Lan says what she wants to say, "I plan not to snatch the family house."

"As for nephews and nieces, I have no energy to deal with them; whoever gave birth should take responsibility." Gong Tao said nonchalantly, feeling exhausted and consumed with anger.

Gong Tao needs an ally, or else if Gong Tao doesn’t hold his position, Gong Zhuang knows he’ll be next to suffer.

Still alive, Gong Ruini murmured; she previously felt from Gong Tao’s words that Zhang Lan shouldn’t last long, maybe upon returning, they’d see her one last time or directly attend a funeral.

But despite their hurry back, Zhang Lan is still hanging on, making Gong Ruini regret it.

If they had known Zhang Lan is a resilient little cockroach, they should’ve delayed a little longer. "Do we need to see her?"

Gong Ruini continually prayed that the old lady’s condition wasn’t good, ideally comatose.

"We should visit. Now she has less energy to nag about sibling loyalty." Gong Jiaxin thought and shivered, seeing the dad’s generation, were sibling ties really good?

"Nagging us about sibling loyalty is just trying to make us give uncle money to improve his life, isn’t it? She thinks we’re fools unaware of her motives."

"Looks like my dad will suffer." Gong Ruini pitied her gaze at Gong Tao.

"My dad also suffers; he visits frequently, fearing idle gossip." Gong Jiaming angrily said, "Just thinking about it makes me nauseous."

No way, Gong Ruini thought; if Zhang Lan employs tough tactics and Gong Qiang pretends to be pitiful, maybe Gong Zhuang would pull out some money.

Such attitudes suggest impending doom, "By the way, how’s uncle now?"

After graduating from university, Gong Zheng didn’t accept the unit assignment but went to Yangcheng, reportedly developing well.

"He’s certainly fine; they say they’re planning to buy a house in Yangcheng and remarry." Gong Jiaming grew unhappier, "He even brought the partner this time."

Gong Ruini didn’t find it strange; Zhang Lan is near death, and her favorite son bringing the future wife along made sense.

"Uncle said they won’t hold a wedding, but as his brother, we have to contribute something." Gong Jiaxin whispered in Gong Ruini’s ear.

Gosh, Gong Ruini had to admit Gong Zheng is clever, coming up with such a move, "Seems they’re counting on our families." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Gong Qiang definitely has no surplus; even if there’s some, he’d have a wife, kids watching him, how could he give Gong Zheng money?

Gong Zheng wouldn’t lower his gaze to the poor elder brother, so they’re targeting Gong Tao and Gong Zhuang’s wallets, truly shameless.

"You didn’t know, the new aunt even visited my mom’s shop, praising the goods and hoped my mom would gift her."

Can’t undermine the audacity of Gong Zheng’s wife; however, is Miao Cuihua so generous? Despite decent treatment now, it’s because their family benefited Gong Zhuang’s lot greatly, Gong Ruini knew they’d never show a nice face.

"My mom just said, ’If you like it, then buy it.’" Gong Jiaxin shouted for her mom’s response, the perfect way to handle shameless people is not to give them face."
