Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 141: I’m a Good Person

Looking at Zhan Jing’s serious expression, Cai Meina’s heart kept sinking. Could it be that her brother’s health is really not good?

Cai Ming initially wanted to comfort Cai Meina, telling her not to worry, but seeing Zhan Jing’s face, he was quite nervous too.

"Your stomach isn’t very good, is it?"

"And you often have night sweats..." Zhan Jing didn’t expect the situation to be so bad.

Oh no, could there be so many problems? "Your body is very weak?" Cai Meina knew that life at home wasn’t easy, but at least it wasn’t like those three years when they couldn’t get enough to eat; at least they could fill their stomachs now.

Zhan Jing nodded, "It’s likely that you’re often not full, or in other words, going hungry is a common occurrence."

Going hungry, Cai Meina was angry, "Don’t you have your share?"

"Sister-in-law said the household expenses were high, so she secretly sold part of the shares, leaving not enough food at home." Cai Ming also couldn’t speak well of Cai Guoqing and his wife.

Selling the shares? Such a thing they really dared to do. Anyway, the couple wouldn’t go hungry. Whatever happens will happen, and besides Cai Ming, their parents probably can’t get enough to eat either.

Cai Meina was about to lose it, "Don’t they know this is bad for their health?"

Some people try all sorts of ways to get food on the black market to feed their families, but the Cai family, "They don’t contribute their salaries either. Everything they eat and drink comes from the household. What do they plan to do?"

Cai Meina really was speechless; she couldn’t understand why they were so short-sighted, "So, you, who have no share, were just kicked out by them."

Cai Ming nodded, "Actually, I did it on purpose. I told them I planned to continue my studies, and Sister-in-law didn’t agree."

The shrewdness of her own sister-in-law, Cai Meina had felt it firsthand, "She would love for us all to leave, so no one competes with her for the house."

"We should do well in the Northeast, and I believe life will not be bad." These past six months have really opened Cai Meina’s eyes to the realization that one can earn a good living without working in a factory.

They can eat well, drink well, and their wallets are full. Her brother isn’t lazy, and as long as he’s given a chance, he will succeed.

Cai Ming believed this, and after being busy following Cai Meina around all morning, he admired his big sister greatly.

His older sister was always a diligent person, but he had no idea she knew how to do farm work like raising chickens, quails, and sheep, and she had plans to raise pigs in the spring. It was unimaginable.

His older sister used to work in an office, and now she seemed like a farmwoman. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it.

"By then, we’ll get you a virtuous wife, she must be virtuous." This was something Cai Meina insisted on; they absolutely couldn’t bring home someone who would disrupt the family.

Cai Ming completely agreed, "Absolutely."

Zhan Jing looked at the siblings, not knowing where they were taking the conversation, feeling helpless, "I wonder if you should listen to me."

"We know, we know." Cai Meina then realized they hadn’t even asked about the treatment.

"I’ll prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine, but it’s really about taking care of your stomach. When you get back, bring some rice and millet, and make porridge, that stuff is nourishing."

"As for the medicine, take it for some days. In the future, make sure you don’t go hungry. We can’t always have meat and fish, but there must always be grain." Zhan Jing clearly stated her position.

Zhan Jing didn’t expect not being there yesterday to make sure the men ate and drank well would leave Cai Ming so uneasy, which made her feel quite embarrassed.

Giving rice and millet? How could Cai Ming feel comfortable taking it?

"Just take it, don’t be embarrassed. When you have something good, remember to bring it over." Cai Meina didn’t care about so much, right now her brother’s health was the priority.

===

"Uncle’s taking medicine." Gong Ruini looked at the dark Chinese medicine, feeling it must cause stomach pain; the medicine looked all kinds of bitter.

Wouldn’t Cai Ming’s stomach pain problem worsen after taking this medicine?

Looking at this dark medicine, Cai Ming felt like he was really going to throw up. Actually, he didn’t have that many problems, "Sister..."

Cai Meina didn’t look at him.

He looked at his brother-in-law, but Gong Tao said, "Take it, your health is not good, you need treatment."

"If you fall ill, what would your sister do?"

If something happened to his brother-in-law in their hometown, his wife couldn’t do anything even if she was worried, but now he was in the Northeast, right in front of her. If he were uncomfortable, wouldn’t his wife be worried sick?

"Also, your Brother Zhao is going to your village to handle some matters, he will help you take leave." Gong Tao said this kid should rest here and recuperate, he really looked too frail.

"By then, let your sister send you a cotton coat, and bring a quilt when you go." He hadn’t seen where Cai Ming lived, but judging by how little clothing he wore, it was likely that there weren’t many quilts either.

Such parents were really biased, especially when Cai Ming mentioned the Cai family, his face was always indifferent, with no significant emotional change.

He must have been completely disappointed with these so-called parents by now; such a person would live more easily because they see through things and wouldn’t foolishly sacrifice themselves.

"Brother-in-law, there is something I want to say to you." Cai Ming came to see Cai Meina this time not just to visit his sister, but for other reasons as well.

Originally, if he saw that Cai Meina was having a tough time, Cai Ming wouldn’t have spoken up, but now that his sister was living well, if the Gong family and Cai family knew, there would be no peace.

Seeing his brother-in-law cautiously looking around, "What’s wrong, are you out of money?" Gong Tao half-jokingly asked.

His brother-in-law really knew how to joke, "It’s not about me, it’s about you, brother-in-law."

About him? Gong Tao was confused, he hadn’t done anything, was there a need to speak so secretively?

If his wife saw this, she’d think he was up to no good outside, come on, he was a good person, he wouldn’t do such things.

"Your brother-in-law is a good person." Gong Tao thought for a long time but couldn’t think of anything bad he had done.

The problem was that his brother-in-law looked very serious, making Gong Tao start to have doubts, could it be that he really didn’t do anything good?

That’s nonsense, his brother-in-law was definitely a good person, otherwise people wouldn’t keep picking on him.

"Brother-in-law, what I want to say is related to you, but it’s not your fault." His brother-in-law was really subdued by his sister, but it was a pity they were bullied so much by so-called elders.

Cai Ming worried that after his sister and brother-in-law started living well, they would forget many past things, "Brother-in-law, no matter what happens, you have to think about Ni Zi and the others."

What does that mean? Gong Tao was about to be driven crazy by his brother-in-law, if there’s something to say just say it, why keep beating around the bush?

"Is it the Gong family causing trouble again?" Otherwise, his brother-in-law wouldn’t look so troubled.

However, this kid underestimated him; if he didn’t know something, he might continue to be foolish, but now, that’s impossible.

Not making a fuss doesn’t mean he won’t think about it.
