Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 695 - 697 Sinister Intentions

Gong Ruini was stunned when she learned from Gong Tao about Gong Zheng’s plan. "Is something wrong with his brain?"

"What does he think he is, does he really believe he’s that amazing?"

"Dad, he thinks you’re a fool." Subconsciously, Gong Ruini felt that what Gong Zheng said wasn’t good. Can what that person says be considered decent?

"Exactly." Cai Meina came over softly after putting Gong Ruizhi to sleep, also to supervise Gong Tao. In case he gets too excited while talking and raises his voice, waking up their younger son, who would then throw a huge tantrum.

"He of course thinks I’m a fool, hoping I’d spend money to get the business going, so your mom and I can be busy earning money. He even said it’s fine to be busy, as long as you siblings can live a good life in the future."

No one needed to tell Gong Tao that he would work hard for nothing, but for his kids to have a good life.

"He’s a student, why doesn’t he think about how to make money?" Gong Ruini was unhappy, "He’s inciting you and mom to not focus on studying and just make the business successful."

Looking at the daily income now, anyone would feel good, thinking about living well, but so what?

Even if selling tea eggs is a good business, does using your brain to make money not earn much?

"Doesn’t he just want me and your mom to be busy with business, not having time to go to class, so that before you siblings grow up, he’d be the most successful in the Gong Family."

That’s Gong Zheng, always calculating. "He might win at scheming in this life, but he’d also lose at scheming."

"With his temperament, never mind Wu Rui, even I wouldn’t be interested." A man should be magnanimous in his dealings. If he just schemes about small things all day, even if he has success in the future, it won’t be much.

Gong Tao really didn’t have high hopes for Gong Zheng’s future. "Actually, if Wu Rui hadn’t gotten into college, they would have been quite a match. But now that Wu Rui has a decent achievement, would she be willing to wait for Gong Zheng?"

Gong Tao had no liking for Wu Rui either. "The Wu Family are all calculating types. Only your mom and Gong Zheng think they can outsmart them."

"Then just wait and watch the show. Even if Wu Rui is willing to divorce, would Gong Zheng be willing?" Cai Meina knew a lot about Gong Zheng too. He definitely wouldn’t do or get involved in anything without benefit.

"Didn’t the Wu Family say they’re doing very well now, would Gong Tao be willing to give up?" If the Wu Family had no prospects, maybe Gong Zheng would agree to a divorce, but it’s said they’re living quite comfortably, with decent positions in the factory.

Even if Gong Zheng initially hadn’t thought of going back, after all, he had both glory and failures there. But as long as the Wu Family is willing to back him, Gong Zheng might dream of becoming a supervisor.

"If he’s not willing, they can’t divorce?" Sigh, divorces are major issues now. People might get married haphazardly, but they’d never support a divorce. If someone wanted a divorce, whether relatives or factory leaders, they’d step in and persuade them not to divorce.

Gong Ruini really couldn’t understand. In the future, though divorce would be complicated, company leaders would definitely not intervene. It’s a private matter. Unexpectedly, in her past life, divorcing is even harder, don’t even think about leaving.

"As long as the Wu Family promises him a good future, I think he’d agree." Gong Tao didn’t want to mention this more. "In short, with them together, they’d keep scheming, both at home and against us."

Indeed, Gong Ruini wasn’t worried that Gong Tao and his wife would be foolishly manipulated like before. It just felt a bit disgusting. After all, constantly having someone around hopping with schemes wasn’t typically annoying.

"So what will you do?" Cai Meina had long not wanted to see Gong Zheng.

Each time she saw that cunning face, Cai Meina would recall the past events in the hometown. But limited by Gong Tao’s silence, she couldn’t voice her thoughts. Now it’s different, Gong Tao taking the lead was enough.

"What can I do, I’m not in a hurry. Anyway, there’s nothing happening on that side these days. I might as well lend a hand honestly. There is daily cash after all from the quail egg business." Even though making quail eggs doesn’t earn as much as solving problems.

But the profit margin is large. "Ni Zi, have you considered?"

"No, my current book rental stand is already too eye-catching." If she also did the quail egg business, Gong Ruini would really be worried some people would jump out causing trouble again.

"By the way, Dad, if we want to quickly make a lot of money, what business do you think would be good to do?" Gong Ruini thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a good idea.

It’s not like in those books where you reprint some famous books and make a fortune by exporting them.

Not to mention, Gong Ruini’s English wasn’t strong enough. Even though she’s currently learning English, could she write an English book in such a short time?

It’s impossible. If word got out, Gong Ruini predicted she’d be sent to some agency for investigation.

Even if she wasn’t worried about exposure for writing such a book, how would she publish it? This is a major issue, as she, a girl with no connections in a red country, would send the book to whom.

Though the movements are over, who knows when she’ll be able to correspond with foreigners.

Previously, Gong Ruini thought of collecting scrap to find treasures. Over her one year in Beijing, she indeed intermittently did it, but didn’t collect much valuable stuff.

No one is foolish. As long as there’s a bit of heritage in families, and the descendants aren’t too clueless, they all know the value of these treasures. Even if they want to sell them, they won’t do it at a cabbage price.

Gong Ruini knows such items will be valuable in the future, but they don’t have much money now. Plus, they have a hutong courtyard to buy, and the money prepared isn’t little. When would they have time to purchase antiques?

After thinking for a long time, Gong Ruini really didn’t come up with a good solution. Sigh, if only Beijing now was like it would be in the future, a tourist city. Then even if she had to take the plunge, Gong Ruini planned to set up a stall with Zhao Guangran and sell food on the street.

But that’s impossible, sigh, that’s really bothering Gong Ruini.

"Make a lot of money quickly?" What happened to his daughter? Why this sudden thought? Gong Tao was really startled.

As for his daughter wanting him to come up with ideas, sorry, Gong Tao had none. "I too want to strike it rich, but do you see it being possible?"

Exactly, sigh, why ask Gong Tao, asking is just in vain. Moreover, knowing the reason afterwards might mean having another person worrying endlessly. To prevent him from worrying, Gong Ruini decided to drop this idea.

Perhaps instead of expecting Gong Tao to think of a fortune-making project, it would be better to hope the trip to the Northeast earns some money. God willing, she discovers a century-old ginseng there, and that should be enough to make her rich.

Sigh, thinking this, Gong Ruini felt conflicted. Clearly, she had a space, but it wasn’t something typical. Having it for so many days aside from being a storage, nothing else.

Sigh, it was said to produce high-efficiency medicinal fields, but what was the result? Even growing some fruit was impossible, let alone something like ginseng Snow Lotus, really too disappointing.
