Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 697 - 699: Not Standing Out

Gong Zheng looked at Gong Ruini and Zhao Xuran so closely, "Brother, are you planning to match Ni Zi with Zhao Xuran?"

Zhao Xuran has three younger brothers, but this guy just seems to be getting along well with Gong Ruini. Could it be that he has some ideas about her?

Come to think of it, otherwise why would the second brother not take money to help Zhao Gang work, isn’t it just to let Gong Ruini marry into the Zhao Family.

Gong Zheng admits that Zhao Xuran is fairly decent-looking and should be the best choice of son-in-law they could select.

But Gong Zheng really doesn’t want Gong Ruini to have anything to do with Zhao Xuran. It’s just a friendship now, with a little favor from back then, and Gong Tao and the others are working so hard for it.

Gong Zheng really can’t imagine if Ni Zi had a relationship with the eldest son of the Zhao Family, how diligently his stupid brother would work, would there still be anything left for him at that time?

No way, Gong Zheng doesn’t care how good Zhao Xuran is, anyone who takes away his stupid brother can’t be a good person.

What’s with Ni Zi and Zhao Xuran? Gong Tao felt uncomfortable listening to Gong Zheng, always feeling there’s more to his words, "They grew up together, it’s normal to have a good relationship."

"But I haven’t seen Ni Zi have a good relationship with Rui Wen." Gong Zheng pouted, was he playing dumb or what?

"Rui Wen is just a kid, he doesn’t have the patience to look after his sister. You see them playing together happily, but Ni Zi doesn’t like it." Gong Tao said so, but he was secretly pondering too.

Could it be that Zhao Xuran really has thoughts about their daughter? But on second thought, it seems he might be overthinking, Zhao Xuran is sensible, but still, how old is he?

As for their daughter, let’s not mention it. She’s just a typical little girl, and her relationship with Zhao Xuran is good, mainly because Zhao Xuran always took care of her before.

Huh, almost got led astray by Gong Zheng again, just knew he wasn’t very reliable. No matter what the matter is, in his eyes, everything’s out of place, "You’re overthinking."

Overthinking, Gong Zheng didn’t think he was paranoid at all, it’s his stupid brother who isn’t thinking enough.

"I won’t say anymore, but brother, I think the Zhao Family isn’t great, you are aiming too high." Isn’t he fond of his daughter? Then let him see the result of aiming high.

Listening to Gong Zheng incessantly talking about the consequences of marrying up, Gong Tao was really tempted to give him a slap across the face. Not only is this a baseless matter, but even if there were signs, how can an uncle talk like this?

"Don’t worry, that’s my family’s business."

"Alright, Gong Zheng, you’ve been out for a long time, when are you going back?" If he doesn’t leave, soon, Gong Zhuang’s kids will be here, and it wouldn’t be good if they ran into him.

Is he being urged to leave? Gong Zheng got angry, he had good intentions in persuading a thing or two, but now his brother wants to drive him away, "You’re being really excessive."

Excessive? Was he being excessive? Gong Tao really didn’t want this thin-skinned person to talk more, it’s giving him a headache, "How am I being excessive? I also rely on manpower here to work."

"If you think you want to stay here, either pay for your meals or work." Gong Tao was really worried Gong Zheng just wanted to enjoy living here without spending and not wanting to leave.

No matter whether Gong Zheng really had such an idea, he needed to be driven away quickly.

Huh, to work or pay? Gong Zheng thought that living here was nice; don’t be fooled by his constant complaints about the food, once back home, it’s really hard to get such meals.

Working laboriously, he wasn’t willing; in such hot weather, moving around gets you sweaty, why bother.

Taking out money, please, he just wanted to save a little that’s why he came to Beijing in the first place. If he knew the place was this stingy, nothing could have made him come.

Wait a minute, isn’t there the second brother, "Brother, you work more."

"I don’t have that much energy, if I had energy, wouldn’t I use it to spend on Ni Zi and them?"

"You already have kids, and I’ve already hosted you." Gong Tao said bluntly, "You said you’d leave after taking a look at me."

"I thought so then, but now..." Gong Zheng wasn’t a fool. He’d been here so long, if he said Gong Tao didn’t know his intentions, no one would believe it, but he just wouldn’t bring it up.

"Whatever you think, it’s your business, I don’t have the money to feed freeloaders, let alone a brother."

"I wouldn’t even give Mom’s money." Gong Tao expected Gong Zheng didn’t take this seriously, thinking he wouldn’t write a letter, but he forgot there was also Cai Meina, and there was Gong Ruini, and those people had no good feelings about Zhang Lan.

No way, Gong Zheng was dumbfounded, he had just panicked at the time, really didn’t say anything afterward, he truly thought Cai Meina was just bluffing him.

Didn’t think having no response meant they wouldn’t write, and now from the sound of it, they must have written a letter; oh gosh, how could this happen, "Brother, you must be scaring me."

Scaring? Does he need to scare someone? Gong Tao gave a few cold snorts, "You can call and ask; if that doesn’t work, send a telegram."

"We wrote the letter the day after you arrived, by this time they probably received it." Cai Meina initially planned to use it as a threat, but they really discussed it a lot.

After discussions, the final result was that this matter couldn’t just be let go. Since they already said they’d inform Gong Qiang, there was no need to hide it overly, now it seems it’s likely to call Gong Zheng back.

The letter was written on the second day after he came? Gong Zheng was scared witless, these two people went to extreme lengths, "Aren’t you considering Mom’s opinion?"

Why bother considering Zhang Lan’s opinion, "I spoke with Gong Qiang, didn’t you say the eldest brother benefited the most, so now doing more work is the same." Gong Tao expressed that Zhang Lan’s opinion wasn’t important, "I heard they take good care of the old lady, our mom is very pleased with such a new daughter-in-law."

Gong Zheng’s mouth twitched, "The eldest brother said that."

"Do you think the eldest brother is right?"

"Whether he is or not, he’s Mom’s favorite son." As for whether the old lady is willing, that’s not something Gong Tao needs to consider, as long as Mom is happy, that’s all that matters, the rest he won’t consider, nor will he want to.

Ah, "But she’s our Mom." Gong Zheng got angry.

Oh, now he’s showing anger, "Then are you taking care of Mom?"

Gong Zheng was speechless, "I’m studying."

"Yes, you’re studying, you don’t know the meaning of giving, how do you know the care is not good." Gong Tao was quite satisfied with Gong Qiang.

Looking at Gong Tao constantly praising how hard Gong Qiang works, his mouth was twitching uncontrollably, "Brother, don’t you think your words..."

"I’m busy, I don’t have time to go back, but didn’t Mom volunteer?"

"Also, as the eldest son, he should inherit the family business." Gong Tao didn’t care what kind of life Zhang Lan was living now; whether good or bad, it’s what she chose, no one would pity her.
