Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 910 - 912: The Biased Second Brother

After Gong Zheng left angrily, he headed towards Gong Qiang’s house.

This tactic of diverting trouble is one he had seen them play many times, but he could only go along with it.

"The housing prices in Yangcheng are definitely going to rise," Gong Zheng, being somewhat smart, said. "If you have money, of course, you should buy more houses."

"I wouldn’t be surprised if my two brothers have already bought houses in Yangcheng."

Staying at classmates’ homes in Yangcheng? Who are they kidding? No one would accept so many people, "Too bad I can’t get any inside information."

"Your third brother, I know he’s got money, but your second brother?" Even though he graduated from Jing University, from the way they dress, they don’t look like rich people.

"No money? My third brother wouldn’t be so close to my second brother without some benefit." This point Gong Zheng was absolutely certain of.

"Besides, I’ve looked into it, back when he was starting up, it was your second brother’s boost in Northeast specialties that got him off the ground." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Gong Zheng, feeling a belly full of anger, said, "Why can’t they think about me?"

"Why would they bring that idiot Gong Zhuang?"

"He’s probably jealous of you." Mo Litong was very familiar with the brotherly situation from Gong Zheng and knew that Gong Qiang and Gong Zheng were the two sons most loved by their half-dead old mother.

It’s a pity that of these two sons, one turned out to be a loser, and Gong Zheng didn’t do as well as the other two.

"Jealous? Maybe, but he doesn’t need to be jealous of me now, he’s completely given up on everything here." Gong Zheng also wanted to not care like Gong Tao and Gong Zhuang but didn’t have the confidence.

Give up the house here?

Mo Litong wasn’t willing to do that, "We can’t give up; if we have enough money, we should buy another house in Yangcheng, then we can rent it out."

"Besides, we’ll be living in Yangcheng in the future, so if we have a fallout with your brothers, so be it." Mo Litong knew that Gong Zheng had been married and had a son, and it was impossible for her not to have any grievances in her heart.

Mo Litong couldn’t openly stop Gong Zheng from seeing his son, but she could slowly isolate them, for example, if there’s no house here.

If the brotherly relationship gets worse, all the better; that way, no one would pass information about that brat to Gong Zheng.

Thinking of the child they visited this time, Mo Litong’s eyes dimmed. Even as a child, he was too rude to her.

What’s more, he managed to coax Gong Zheng into buying loads of food, drinks, clothes, and goods for him. Every time Gong Zheng paid, Mo Litong felt a pang in her heart, wanting to shout that it was her money.

Mo Litong was very worried that if Gong Zheng and that brat spent too much time together, Gong Zheng, already feeling guilty towards the child, would just keep buying whatever the kid wanted.

"Buying and holding onto real estate is always a good thing. Look, you’re a father, you have to prepare a house for Ruixi."

"We don’t have the strength to take him over now, but when he’s grown, we can let him study in Yangcheng. As a boy, he’ll need a house to get married, and you, as his father, can’t be unprepared then."

Humph, fooling Gong Zheng into buying a house now, saying it’s for that boy Gong Mingrui. When the time comes for that boy to marry, whether Gong Zheng will still remember this son is questionable.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he has to have a son. Once he has a son, who would remember Gong Mingrui?

Mo Litong calculated all the benefits in her mind, but she absolutely wouldn’t show it on her face, "New Year’s is coming, should we buy some clothes for Xiao Rui?"

Clothes for Xiao Rui? Gong Zheng was about to habitually agree. He was in his thirties, and it was his only son, especially with his early divorce from Xiao Rui’s mother, he always felt indebted to the child.

More importantly, Gong Zheng wanted the Wu Family to see that the boy they once looked down upon was living well now, not something they could just manipulate at will.

That’s why Gong Zheng was constantly buying things for his son, but now, thinking about his son’s future marriage and whether Gong Zhuang would contribute financially, money seemed increasingly insufficient.

"No more buying, we’ve spent so much this time, and when my mom passes, there will be more expenses." Gong Zheng had thought he could get Gong Zhuang to cover it, but now he realized it was better not to hope.

Money, money, money, such a headache, but this is the last time we need to spend, "We won’t come back to host a banquet, about the congratulatory money."

Mo Litong was thinking if they could get more congratulatory money, it would be best not to host a banquet, just contribute money, but now it seemed unlikely.

"Don’t hold one, and don’t expect much from the congratulatory money, whoever comes won’t contribute much." That guy Gong Zhuang has put down all pretense and doesn’t care if brotherhood is cut off just like that, how would he give face?

Oh, so we won’t gain anything this time, which immediately put Mo Litong in a bad mood.

"Don’t worry, I refuse to believe I won’t succeed," Gong Zheng became more determined than ever to work hard and earn more money.

After Gong Zheng and his wife left, the atmosphere brightened. Miao Cuihua took Cai Meina for a tour of their home.

"I originally thought of building a house just like the ones in Beijing, but later on, realized it would be too ostentatious. Then I found out there were houses to buy here, so I bought one on the third floor—great sunlight, and bought the whole floor for us to arrange comfortably."

Miao Cuihua loved to flaunt a bit in front of visiting friends and family, but in front of Gong Tao’s family, she didn’t dare.

Gong Ruini was slightly stunned when she saw a certain room; it had a huge study facing south with plenty of books on the shelves.

"I learned from you guys that this is the way to read quietly." Miao Cuihua was very satisfied with this study in her home. "I read when I have time; in the evening our family of four reads together, it feels nice."

Miao Cuihua cautiously glanced at the two brothers eating at the dining table, then carefully avoided mentioning Gong Ruini, "It saves him from going out for socializing."

"Sister-in-law, you know some people don’t care whether the man has a wife or not."

"Sister-in-law, you should keep an eye on your brother." Miao Cuihua didn’t want her marriage to have problems, nor did she want Gong Tao’s marriage to have any issues.

Keep an eye on Gong Tao? Miao Cuihua chuckled, "Don’t you know Gong Tao? He wouldn’t do such things. Besides, he’s busy now."

"You can also be at ease with your Gong Zhuang, as long as his brother is working hard to earn money, he wouldn’t let go." Cai Meina understood clearly, even if her own man has social obligations, there are a number of men leading the way in front of him, he wouldn’t slack off.

True, her own man often said he doesn’t hope to catch up with Gong Tao, just hopes the gap isn’t too wide.

Initially, Miao Cuihua couldn’t bear the thought of sending her kids to Beijing, but now, looking at Gong Ruwen and then her own kids, although she thought they were doing well before, they really didn’t measure up in front of Gong Ruini’s family.

It seems necessary to let the two kids go to Beijing, at least over there, they can learn many things and see more people, far better than staying in their hometown.
