Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 96 - 95: Vicious Idea

Gong Ruini always feels like her body is polarized; sometimes it’s as comfortable as being in spring, and sometimes she’s drenched in sweat as if she’s in the tropics, no, it should be on the equator.

Thankfully, she hasn’t felt the temperature of the Arctic; otherwise, Gong Ruini would have to marvel at how someone’s luck has allowed her to fully experience all four seasons on earth.

Gong Ruini feels all sorts of discomfort, and the Gong Tao couple is extremely anxious.

"Why is it still quite hot?" Cai Meina keeps touching Gong Ruini’s body, always feeling that the temperature hasn’t dropped.

Cai Meina is extremely anxious, she really wants to take Ni Zi to the hospital, but it’s already midnight. How can she take Ni Zi to the hospital now?

It’s pitch dark outside, and she doesn’t even know if the road is easily passable.

Besides, Cai Meina doesn’t know how good the doctors are here; if they were really good, the surrounding villagers wouldn’t all be seeking Zhan Jing for treatment.

It’s just that the fever hasn’t subsided, and as a mother, she feels all kinds of unease in her heart.

"It’s fine." Gong Tao holds Cai Meina’s shoulder from behind, "Our Ni Zi will definitely get better."

Cai Meina is startled by Gong Tao’s action; ever since she heard what Ni Zi said in her dream, Cai Meina hasn’t wanted to face Gong Tao.

If she can avoid talking, she absolutely won’t speak, and she didn’t expect Gong Tao to emerge at this time. How could Cai Meina not resist?

"There have been so many times worse than this, and didn’t Ni Zi get through them all?" Gong Tao senses Cai Meina’s attempt to avoid him and tightens his grip a bit.

"Meina, I really didn’t know about this, if I knew, do you think I would help them?"

"Ni Zi is also my daughter, I love Ni Zi the most too." As Gong Tao speaks, his voice carries a bit of a choke, because he also feels very wronged.

Feeling wronged? Hmph, even if you’re wronged, so what? If not for that old woman relying on being Gong Tao’s mother, would she even bother with this old woman?

"No matter how wronged, can it be as wronged as our daughter?"

"And you didn’t even notice Rui Wen’s condition." Compared to a man, Cai Meina values her own children more.

Cai Meina knows there’s something wrong with Gong Ruwen’s expression, but at this moment, she really can’t handle it; she’s busy taking care of Gong Ruini, unable to attend to anything else.

Fortunately, Zhao Xuran is there, as Cai Meina hopes Zhao Xuran can comfort Gong Ruwen.

"Rui Wen will be fine, don’t worry." To Gong Tao, his son’s emotions are truly not the current priority; his focus is on his wife.

"Wife, don’t worry, I know what kind of people they are, and I will never let them take care of our children again." Gong Tao repeatedly assures.

Isn’t this statement unnecessary? "We are already in the Northeast, why would they be willing to come to the Northeast to take care of Ni Zi and them?"

"Would they do something without any benefit?" Cai Meina understands the Gong Family’s temperament, "If they really wanted to take care of Ni Zi and them, they would have said so before we traveled."

Initially, they all avoided it, as if they were afraid we’d leave Gong Ruini for them to take care of, "Looking back, it’s fortunate they were unwilling."

"If they were willing, when your brother suggested needing ginseng, would we have given it or not?" Cai Meina truly feels relieved.

If not given, they certainly wouldn’t be kind to our daughter, and at the thought of our daughter potentially being mistreated by the Gong Family, Cai Meina’s face turns all sorts of unpleasant.

Overall, everything is fortunate, "Who knows how much the Gong Family regrets now."

Regret? Maybe it is so, Gong Tao also continuously feels grateful.

Wouldn’t Gong Dajiang regret not agreeing to take care of the grandchildren, but Zhang Lan and Gong Qiang sure do.

Although Gong Dajiang wrote a letter scolding Gong Tao thoroughly, he also worries about provoking Gong Tao if he reacts too strongly.

Even though with advancing age, his brother’s temper has improved a lot, when they were young, Gong Tao’s temper was truly not good, ready to fight at any moment, only corrected by the strict upbringing of their parents.

More unsettling for Gong Qiang is, "Mom, I inquired around, the Cai Family really intends to turn against us."

Previously, Gong Qiang was confident only because he thought the Cai Family would never compete with him for this position, plus he wanted to shake off the ’incompetent’ label himself, but he didn’t expect the Cai Family to actually make a move, what should he do now.

Gong Qiang doesn’t know how his father describes Gong Tao in his heart, if it was too harsh, would it provoke Gong Tao to react severely.

Ah, is the Cai Family really at odds with us? Zhang Lan is shocked, and after a long while, "Could it be because of the Cai family’s youngest son?"

Zhang Lan thinks for a long moment but can’t remember the name of Cai family’s youngest son and decides not to think about it, but isn’t Cai family’s youngest son still studying?

"That boy is about to go work as a sent-down youth." Gong Qiang initially thought it might be for the Cai family boy, although unlikely, but is there a chance?

However, surprisingly, it was to help their National Day daughter-in-law’s uncle secure a position, Gong Qiang thinks even a candle should be lit for the Cai family, not fighting for benefits for their own people, instead helping an outsider, truly unsure what they’re thinking.

Zhang Lan, although biased, only applies this internally, if against outsiders, even if she dislikes Gong Tao, as long as it doesn’t hinder the rest of the Gong Family’s interests, she would support Gong Tao to some extent.

"Why not fight for that boy, is becoming a sent-down youth good in these times?" If one can avoid becoming a sent-down youth, they should; however, there are people who voluntarily go, albeit, she doesn’t know their situation.

Zhang Lan doesn’t know their circumstance and can only wait for Gong Qiang to explain.

"It’s someone with stiff competition." No matter the seniority or reputation or capability, they’re better than him, and Gong Qiang’s heart is filled with envy.

"Mom, without ginseng, my position..." Gong Qiang can foresee that without external help, he shouldn’t dream of a promotion.

And not just unable to be promoted; perhaps his current position is at stake.

"Mom, if initially we had kept those two brats with us, it would’ve been better." Gong Qiang regrets; back then, Gong Tao did come requesting help but was smugly turned down by him.

Gong Qiang merely wanted to see them embark on the road miserably, now he has dug his own retreat.

Take care of the two brats? Zhang Lan didn’t even consider, "Why should I take care of them, especially Gong Ruini, that jinx, keeping her around means no good days."

She barely has time to take care of the eldest grandson, why take care of two little ones, especially when Gong Tao’s family didn’t have wages after they went to the Northeast; she wouldn’t be taking care of them in vain.

His own mother can’t seem to figure this out; Gong Qiang looks at her with contempt, "Mom, Rui Wen and Ni Zi aren’t young anymore, they can work."

"And with them under our roof, would Gong Tao dare not show filial respect to you?" Gong Qiang keeps trying to brainwash Zhang Lan, hoping she’ll agree to let Gong Tao’s two children return.

Gong Qiang doesn’t believe someone who loves his children as much as Gong Tao wouldn’t consider his two kids.

Hmph, how can it work without hostages; Gong Qiang thinks this is a good plan and that it can continually force the Gong Tao couple to keep slaving away for them.
