Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 94 - 93: Unworthy of Being a Grandma
Chapter 94: Chapter 93: Unworthy of Being a Grandma
Listening to the overwhelming abusive language around her, and the incessant arms waving at her, Gong Ruini felt like she was going to collapse. How could there be so many arms?
Clearly exhausted and wanting to rest for a while, but how could her dreams be filled with so many distressing things, leaving her with no way to truly rest.
Cursing without end was one thing, but more importantly, they even hit people.
And what they were hitting was a little girl. Wait, Gong Ruini felt that this little girl seemed somewhat familiar.
Gong Ruini involuntarily walked forward, wanting to see clearly who this familiar-looking girl was.
As soon as Gong Ruini got closer, she found herself floating towards the little girl, which gave her quite a scare.
Before Gong Ruini could compose herself, she noticed fists and feet coming at her, leaving her with no choice but to try her best to dodge these attacks.
"You jinx."
"Since you were born, our family has had one misfortune after another."
"Your aunt used to be in good health, but her health has been deteriorating since you were born."
"How could your smart uncle possibly have had a broken bone?"
"Your eldest uncle..."
Gong Ruini was dumbfounded. What was going on? How come all these people’s illnesses were related to her, especially events tied to when she was just born?
Come on, there’s no connection at all, "Don’t hit me, don’t hit me."
Even though it was a dream, Gong Ruini felt like the pain on her body and the abusive words were intensifying.
Various filthy and derogatory words surfaced, worse than market fishwives cursing.
And yet it was several adults hurling insults at Gong Ruini, and as if that wasn’t enough, they kept hitting her.
Gong Ruini practically wished she could rush over and take a bite out of them, hoping to leave them bleeding, so they would know she wasn’t easy to bully.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Gong Ruini tried to move, there was no way to rush over, leaving her curious as to why she couldn’t move.
She wasn’t tied up at all, which was driving Gong Ruini crazy, apart from repeatedly shouting for them to stop.
Zhan Jing was surprised by the intensity with which Gong Ruini was shaking her body, "Meina, hold Ni Zi."
"Taozi, go get some hot water and get ready to wipe Ni Zi’s body."
"Gangzi, go to the cellar to get some liquor and distill some. If the high fever doesn’t subside, we’ll need alcohol to bring it down."
Zhan Jing had dealt with these minor issues more often since she came here. Although Gong Ruini’s illness came on fiercely, it wasn’t severe.
"Don’t worry, it’s nothing, just a common high fever." Zhan Jing noticed Cai Meina’s hand shaking violently and reached out to steady it.
"You can’t panic. If you panic, what will Rui Wen do?" Zhan Jing couldn’t believe that the child who was perfectly fine earlier was now unconscious on a mere turn of her head. What in the world could have happened? freёweɓnovel_com
And why was Gong Ruini shouting not to hit her, as well as denying she was a jinx, what was going on?
Zhan Jing understood the latter part, but not the former. Gong Ruini was still so young and such a well-behaved child. She really didn’t understand how anyone could treat her like this.
"It must be that old woman from the Gong Family." Cai Meina bit her lip viciously, "Only she would do such a thing."
"She’s such a great actor. I said it back when I gave birth to Ni Zi, despite the poor circumstances, there was no reason for her health to be so terrible. Turns out she was beating her behind our backs all along."
"Probably even denying Ni Zi food." Cai Meina regretted letting Zhang Lan, knowing full well she didn’t like her granddaughter, take care of the child.
Not giving Ni Zi food? No way, Zhan Jing was terribly frightened. A child this age barely eats anything, and yet there’s such a heartless adult.
"Mom, why is sister shouting not to be hit, who is hitting her?" Gong Ruwen took advantage of the moment no one was paying attention to crawl to Gong Ruini’s side, where he heard his sister shouting not to be hit, what was happening?
"Who do you think is hitting her?" Cai Meina snapped at Gong Ruwen.
Though her anger was more directed at Gong Tao, who had just walked in. She knew he was innocent, but it was still his mother. If it wasn’t for the child’s grandmother, would this have happened?
Cai Meina was mostly angry at herself for being too negligent and not paying attention to these things.
What, someone was hitting Gong Ruini? Zhao Xuran’s heart tightened. Even though this girl was always provoking Zhao Guangran, she was still a good child, never causing trouble. How could she be hit?
It turned out it was Gong Ruini’s grandmother. Knowing she didn’t like Gong Ruini, but still, how could anyone lay hands on such a small child? Zhao Xuran really didn’t understand.
Gong Tao entered with hot water, noticing the dissatisfaction in his family’s eyes. All he could do was smile wryly. This matter happened so long ago. Even if they were at their old home, it’s not like they could go talk sense with their parents, let alone that they were now in the Northeast.
Actually, Gong Tao was filled with pent-up anger. He had always felt strange that even though his parents didn’t like Gong Ruini, they were still willing to offer some care.
Initially, Gong Tao thought they wanted Cai Meina to help with cooking and cleaning. Now, he realized he had been too naive. They wanted to "teach" Gong Ruini a lesson, and this realization enraged Gong Tao.
"Grandma hit Ni Zi..." Gong Ruwen knew Grandma didn’t like his sister, but for Grandma to actually do such a thing was terrifying.
"In the future, you’re not to call her Grandma anymore. Someone who does such things isn’t fit to be called Grandma." Cai Meina could overlook how Zhang Lan, as a mother-in-law, didn’t approve of her as a daughter-in-law.
But her two children were her bottom line. She wouldn’t allow anyone to bully the Gong Ruwen siblings, especially since her mother-in-law had been bullying them right under her nose for so long.
"Gong Tao, don’t ever expect me to treat your parents kindly ever again, they can fend for themselves as far as I’m concerned. I won’t offer them any courtesy."
"Even if there are mountains of black fungus at home, I won’t send them a piece of it." Cai Meina fiercely retorted to Gong Tao.
"If you dare to give them anything, I’ll divorce you immediately, and you can go back to live with your parents."
"I don’t believe I can’t have a good life with just Rui Wen and Ni Zi."
"Having Rui Wen and Ni Zi is enough." Since they didn’t care about the siblings, Cai Meina wouldn’t care for them either.
Cai Meina didn’t believe that the son and grandsons Zhang Lan cherished would treat them well. Overall, Cai Meina was prepared to wait for when their bitter days would come.
Even if, at that time, the elderly couple were to kneel and beg her, Cai Meina wouldn’t relent. The elderly should be cared for, but children shouldn’t be left to be bullied by so-called elders.
Respecting the elderly should depend on their actions, and it’s not an excuse to overlook everything with a simple call for filial piety.
