Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 692 - 694: Gong Zheng Arrives Three

"You guys..." Gong Zheng’s face turned red with anger.

He wanted to strongly retort Gong Ruini, but he didn’t know what to say. It was his second time taking the college entrance exams, and he truly felt he did quite well.

Gong Zheng had previously hoped that even if he didn’t get into Jing University, he could at least get into an average college, and at worst a junior college. Unexpectedly, he ended up at a vocational secondary school.

Thinking about how Wu Rui managed to get into a university even with a child, Gong Zheng’s mood worsened. It gave him an urge to explode.

"By the way, Uncle, you didn’t bring Aunt over. I heard she got into a university." Gong Ruini knew Gong Zheng didn’t want to talk about Wu Rui, but she insisted on mentioning it.

After all, Gong Zheng cared a lot about his pride. Could he really reveal his current situation?

Gong Ruini bet that Gong Zheng wouldn’t dare. If you aim to make others uncomfortable, then we have to make you uncomfortable too. Do you really think of yourself as someone important?

"Yeah, why didn’t Aunt come?" Gong Ruwen looked confused.

Wu Rui, Wu Rui, and yet again Wu Rui. Gong Zheng truly hated hearing that name now. It made him nauseous just thinking about it.

Could Gong Zheng really explain under Gong Ruini and the others’ curious gaze?

No matter how upset Gong Zheng felt inside, he still had to smile and say, "Your aunt has to take care of your little brother."

"Oh," Gong Ruini replied. "But Uncle, why did you only help Aunt review back then and not work on improving yourself?"

Gong Ruini wondered aloud in confusion, "You see, my uncle tutored my parents and he also got a good grade."

Gong Zheng truly believed for a moment that Gong Ruini might actually know about his situation with Wu Rui, but seeing her genuinely puzzled expression, he hesitated. Maybe she really didn’t know.

"Um, um..." Gong Zheng genuinely didn’t know how to go on with his story. He couldn’t admit that he had no idea Wu Rui was going to take the university entrance exam.

Especially with such good results? Gong Zheng turned his head and saw his eldest brother leaning against a tree, "Second Brother..."

He really had been in the Northeastern Rural area too long, forgetting manners.

"Oh, what’s up?" Gong Tao’s mood was sweetened by his children’s protective attitude, it had been a long time since he felt the sensation of being cared for. It truly made him happy in various ways.

What’s up, "Eldest brother, I’ve got something to talk to you about." Gong Zheng didn’t want to stay here any longer, or else he’d truly be angry enough to burst.

Anyway, once he got the money, he’d be off, so he didn’t want to suffer here.

"Oh, go check on Xiao Zhi, after all, it’s your first time here." Gong Tao actually didn’t want Gong Zheng to see his youngest son, but since he was already here, he had to take him otherwise he wouldn’t know how to explain later.

See that little rascal? Gong Zheng had no interest or inclination, he couldn’t even recall the kid’s name, as the third brother only mentioned it briefly. Who would remember?

"Dad, remember to give us the tuition for the next semester." Gong Ruini immediately brought up money, humph, even though he’s a father, he still thinks his brother should pay for him.

Gong Ruini really didn’t understand, with time to come to Beijing, why not stay at his university or just return home to find a job, like starting a small business.

Instead of wasting time listening to people gossiping, maybe after being mocked you won’t get anything, it’s better to go out and start a business, making marinated dishes or repairing cars, at least that’s your own money.

"Got it, got it." Gong Tao’s face was full of impatience, "After you finish summer vacation, go ask Grandpa Zhuge if there’s work. You guys are no longer children, you’re brothers and sisters now, learn to earn your own money."

Gong Tao’s face was full of disdain and contempt, "You can’t rely on me. If I can make sure you’re full that’s enough."

The conversation has reached this point, let’s see how Gong Zheng thinks. As long as he’s not stupid, he should understand the meaning behind the words.

Of course, Gong Zheng wasn’t stupid. He could hear the implication, suggesting he go out and earn money. But is earning money really that easy?

After Gong Tao lectured the two children thoroughly, he finally looked at Gong Zheng, "Fourth brother, what’s wrong?"

What’s wrong, and now he’s finally remembering him. Gong Zheng was on the verge of collapse, knowing Second Brother had a bad attitude toward him, but there was always a thought, although now that thought was gone.

"Nothing, nothing." Gong Zheng was short of money, but he wouldn’t proactively bring it up. His best bet was to catch Gong Tao’s weakness, so Second Brother would have to support him, or else he’d reveal things harmful to him.

Nothing, huh? Gong Tao didn’t know why Gong Zheng changed his mind, maybe he didn’t realize Gong Tao’s life wasn’t good either, or maybe he just didn’t want to mention it in front of the kids.

Regardless of what Gong Zheng thought, since he didn’t bring it up, just act as if nothing happened, "By the way, where are you staying tonight?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Where to stay? Is that even a question? Of course, he’d stay at Gong Tao’s place, it was comfortable, and being close to him might help uncover something beneficial.

"Second Brother, can I stay at your place?" Gong Zheng asked with anticipation.

Stay at his place? Wasn’t he saying earlier about leaving after securing train tickets? It seems this guy planned to leave immediately after borrowing the money, yet without borrowing it, of course, he didn’t want to leave.

"Sure." Gong Tao, what else could he do but let him stay over? It’s not like there are secrets in the house that couldn’t be disclosed.

Keeping such a person at home isn’t causing trouble? Gong Ruini didn’t understand why things turned out this way, although since Gong Tao agreed, let him stay and see what he plans.

Gong Tao’s quick agreement made Gong Zheng happy. He imagined finding some secrets of Gong Tao and then asking him for money.

Gong Zheng definitely wouldn’t believe that Gong Tao really managed day by day with just a meager subsidy; he wasn’t foolish, Second Brother’s clothes and those worn by Gong Ruini and others weren’t shabby. Could it be possible if there was no money?

Looking at Gong Zheng’s excitement, to not see a problem would be foolish.

"I finally understand why he couldn’t get into university." Gong Ruini finally comprehended why someone like that could be so dumb, truly lacking boundaries.

A person who never leaves their own world, could you expect them to be exceptional?

Gong Ruwen grew concerned, "If his terms aren’t met, what if he loses it?"

With their mother bringing a little brother along, what if something happens? "I increasingly think he’s purely mad."

Mad? After staring for a moment, Gong Ruini said, "He wouldn’t be mad, he doesn’t have the guts."

Would Gong Zheng dare even given a hundred guts? "And there’s Uncle." With their uncle around, his Combat Power was formidable unless someone acted foolishly.

Uncle, Gong Ruini nearly forgot the last time she saw Cai Ming, he was truly occupied in various ways.
