Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 123 - 122: Defying Luck

Seeing Cai Meina’s unhappy face, Gong Ruini understood that her father must have seriously offended her mother.

This surprised Gong Ruini a lot, as usually it’s Cai Meina who calls the shots, and no matter how Cai Meina throws a tantrum, Gong Tao always has a smile on his face. How come today he suddenly stood up to her?

Could it be that he usually just gives in to Cai Meina?

Zhao Gang looked at Cai Meina’s displeasure and thought of his friend not coming in. He almost wanted to shout that at crucial times, his friend was reliable.

A man should be like this, always pampering a woman will make her act like she owns the world.

Although Cai Meina was unhappy, in front of so many people, she had to maintain some face, "I’ll save some food for Gong Tao."

Cai Meina tried to control her temper and saved some food for Gong Tao, because no matter how angry she was, she couldn’t let her man go hungry. freēwēbnovel.com

Gong Tao knew his wife was angry, but he promised that once he had sorted things out, his wife would definitely be happy.

The more excitement he felt, the quicker his hands moved, and soon he had cleaned up the piece of wood.

It really was Yinchen Wood, which made Gong Tao so excited. "It looks like today’s harvest is huge."

Although it’s not large in size, even just this piece is worth a lot, and Gong Tao was so happy. Now he’s sure that no matter how small the place is, there can be unexpected surprises.

With such a big discovery, how could Gong Tao worry about dealing with the other wood? He excitedly rushed into the house with the wood in hand.

Gong Tao was all kinds of happy, so he kept waving the wood in his hand.

Gong Tao appeared cheerful, but others found it quite frightening. Did Gong Tao intend to teach Cai Meina a lesson?

At this critical moment, Zhao Gang stepped forward before he could say a word.

"Gangzi, we’ve hit the jackpot this time."

"Really hit it, thanks to me bringing all the wood back." Gong Tao was ecstatic. Although at first glance the wood seemed worthless, fortunately, his brain went wild and he brought it all back.

Actually, Gong Tao was very saddened, hearing from Li Jianjun that they had burned a lot of wood before, even redwood could make his heart ache. That was money.

Such a waste.

Hit the jackpot? Come on, he knew that on the road, there’s no need to reiterate in front of his wife, especially showing off his capability?

Even though Zhao Gang wanted to show his patience, he was a bit unhappy.

"Gangzi, do you know what this wood is?" Gong Tao felt he might fly with joy; there’s nothing more delightful.

Zhao Gang took the wood handed to him and examined it carefully. He shook his head, having been here for so long without much knowledge of wood.

However, the moment he took it, Zhao Gang was quite surprised. Although not very long or thick, the wood was heavy, almost comparable to stone. "So heavy."

Upon closer look, Zhao Gang thought it didn’t look like wood, more like a stone. "It’s not wood, right? Feels like stone."

"Yes, that’s right, stone." Such a big piece of wood couldn’t be this heavy unless it was stone.

Very heavy? Zhan Jing, standing a bit far, thought it was wood at first. Upon hearing the men say it was heavy, she was surprised, thinking if Gong Tao was joking.

But then she thought, that’s not right; Gong Tao didn’t need to joke with them. Wood that looks like stone... Wait, Zhan Jing recalled something her father mentioned when she was young.

Unfortunately, Zhan Jing had never seen it, but could this be it? "Yinchen Wood?"

Of course, that’s the only reason for Gong Tao’s excitement.

Finally, someone who understands, Gong Tao was overjoyed. "It’s Yinchen Wood, I wasn’t quite sure before."

"Good thing I didn’t give up." Gong Tao grinned from ear to ear.

Cai Meina and Zhao Gang were bewildered, what’s Yinchen Wood, what kind of thing is that?

Gong Ruini was stunned. No way, could they really find such a good thing?

Prior to this, Gong Ruini thought Gong Tao finding redwood or Huanghuali cabinets and wood was a big surprise, not expecting an even bigger one.

Oh my God, no matter how much stuff she exchanged at the recycling center this time, unless it was unique, Gong Ruini knew it wouldn’t compare to Gong Tao’s find.

"Honey, what’s Yinchen Wood." Zhao Gang thought hard but couldn’t recall what Yinchen Wood was. However, it undoubtedly was something valuable, given his wife’s unusual reaction.

This explanation left Gong Tao unsure how to respond, so he indicated for Zhan Jing to explain.

"It’s Ebony." Zhan Jing offered an alternative name, "Or it could be called charred wood."

Ebony, now Zhao Gang understood. Although he gave Gong Tao a resentful look, how come Gong Tao’s finds just kept surpassing new heights?

"Yeah, but I don’t know what kind of wood it was originally." Although ebony is valuable, it depends on its composition before becoming Yinchen Wood.

"I’m not sure either, but it should have been long weathered dry." Otherwise, it wouldn’t have preserved in this environment, it would be ruined already.

Such a good thing, Gong Tao thought sharing was important, but there were no skilled craftsmen here, and no way to process it into small ornaments.

Indeed, although keeping a piece as a family heirloom would be nice, Gong Tao felt it should be made into small ornaments, so everyone got a piece.

Upon proposing this idea, aside from Cai Meina who didn’t understand, Zhao Gang and his wife strongly opposed it.

"Keep it, pass it to Rui Wen in the future. Such a good thing isn’t worth being processed into ornaments; it’s better left intact." It’s said gold is precious, but compared to this wood, it pales in comparison.

Even if Cai Meina didn’t understand its value, looking at Zhao Gang and his wife’s excitement cleared her up.

Though reluctant, Cai Meina understood they might not be able to hold onto such a good thing, so it might be better to follow Gong Tao’s idea.

Besides, without Zhao Gang, they wouldn’t have had such luck.

Ultimately, Gong Tao and his wife won, leaving Zhao Gang and his wife helplessly waiting for a chance to repay the favor.

"Your luck is amazing." Zhao Gang was a bit jealous, yet hopeful for more good finds from Gong Tao’s massive wood haul.

Busy dining, Gong Tao didn’t catch his friend’s thoughts; if he did, he’d tease him. There’s no such constant luck, if it was all good stuff, Heaven would envy him.

Although not all Yinchen Wood, it’s all great wood, affirming that it was likely confiscated from a wealthy family, hard to imagine how long such a family had accumulated wealth.
