Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 719 - 721: Is This a Son or a Younger Brother

Chapter 719: Chapter 721: Is This a Son or a Younger Brother

On the way home, Wan Qiweng couldn’t stop exclaiming, "I never thought Ni Zi and the others were so amazing."

"And the fact that they received such treatment from Doctor Zhuge is astonishing."

Whether it’s the Gong Family or the Zhao Family, both speak highly of Zhuge Zhi, seeing him as a good person.

In Wan Qiweng’s eyes, Zhuge Zhi is a very serious person, who would not be polite if something goes amiss.

Such a straightforward person, if not for his excellent medical skills, who knows what he might have ended up like.

It’s precisely because of his integrity that he gets sidelined by his own brother, even though if he became the clan leader, the Zhuge Family might flourish.

However, if he really led the Zhuge Family to prosper, perhaps the attitude of the elite families in Beijing would be different towards him.

"Yeah, I was also shocked," Cai Ming was also taken aback, "They’ve really made a lot of progress."

"Even my brother-in-law has improved a lot, thinking of starting this business." Seeing the people around him making progress puts a lot of pressure on Cai Ming; he can’t afford to lag behind.

"You’re not bad either; even Grandpa says you’re impressive." Wan Qiweng was very satisfied with Cai Ming in all aspects.

Although some people think she just found a very ordinary man, it is such an ordinary man that gives her a great sense of security.

No family background, so what? But he’s capable, and Wan Qiweng is really grateful to the woman who gave up on Cai Ming, even though she doesn’t know why she did. Cai Ming still holds a place for her in his heart, but what does it matter? As long as the one beside him now is him, that’s enough.

"I’m not impressive; I’m just putting in a bit more effort." If he doesn’t work hard, his relatives would mock Wan Qiweng even more.

No matter who he liked before, just like his sister said, the one standing by his side now is Wan Qiweng, and she will be the mother of his future children. He needs to treat her well.

A woman who would insist on marrying him despite his lack of family prospects is a good woman. No matter what he faces in the future, he can’t do anything to hurt her.

"I’ll work hard to make sure you have a good life."

"Though it might not be as much as what they give you, I’ll work hard to make you happy."

"You’re not lacking in any way." Wan Qiweng was so moved that her eyes were about to turn red. She didn’t lack money; she just needed someone who truly cared about her.

"Once we buy the house, after we remodel it, we’ll bring Grandpa to live with us. In the future, when our child grows up, we’ll have them follow in Ni Zi’s footsteps."

Ni Zi and the others are so outstanding because they are all working hard in a competitive environment. At home, there aren’t any relatives’ children, but seeing those kids who have been spoiled makes Wan Qiweng unwilling.

Even if they grow up with what relatives call the ’mud-legged’ kids, so what? At least they won’t be spoiled.

"Okay, okay." Cai Ming thought of moving in together so that their future generations could continue to build connections. And Wan Qiweng’s relatives’ kids are either spoiled or look down on others.

Cai Ming doesn’t want his kids to grow up like that. He’s from a common background, and he wants his kids to have the same mindset.

"When the time comes, we’ll install a swing for him, then set up a big kitchen. My sister’s cooking is delicious; I’ll learn from her." Although Wan Qiweng could cook after spending years in the Northeast, her skills weren’t great.

Before meeting Cai Ming, Wan Qiweng never thought she would have a day when she would cook for a man. Spending too much time in the kitchen would ruin her skin, and with her lady-like temperament, she wouldn’t be willing.

But after meeting Cai Ming, she couldn’t think much about it; she just wanted to give him a sense of home.

"Your cooking is really good." The intention is there, and that’s enough for Cai Ming. He wouldn’t want his wife’s beautiful hands to become rough.

It’s not because he married a girl from a wealthy family; it’s how he’s always thought, "My sister did a lot of chores at home growing up, and I’ve seen her cry from exhaustion."

Thinking of past events, Cai Ming felt a pang in his heart and tried to hold back his tears, "I thought to myself that once I marry, I can’t let my wife do so many chores. Marriage is about treating her well."

"Besides, I can do housework too." His wife only started doing housework after going to the Northeast; once they returned to the city, there was no one to take care of them. Although hiring help wasn’t the trend, why not in the future?

"Are you sweet-talking me?" Wan Qiweng had seen many people sweet-talk before marriage, then not care afterward.

"I’m not sweet-talking; I’m telling the truth," Cai Ming assured, "I was thinking since Gong Zhuang is going back in a couple of days, I’ll ask him to bring back some candies to give to the neighbors and relatives near my home."

"Even if we won’t have a banquet, at least send them some candies." Notifying the family isn’t enough; relatives should be informed too.

"Is just candy enough?" Wan Qiweng felt a bit guilty. Even though their wedding was low-key, her grandfather mentioned inviting everyone to a few tables, but could Cai Ming’s parents not host a banquet?

"It’s enough. Even if we give a lot, they won’t appreciate it much more. Instead, they might think we’re wealthy and cause trouble." Cai Ming wanted to be as low-key as possible.

"In my eyes, besides my sister, there’s only Brother Zhao."

"Alright." Wan Qiweng didn’t want any trouble either. Although she wasn’t afraid of the in-laws, dealing with them would be a waste of energy. Instead, focusing on making money was the real priority.

The two discussed the banquet arrangements, while Zhao Guangran was buried under a pile of criticisms.

"You..."

"Sigh." Gong Ruini let out a sigh.

Could it be that he messed up again? Zhao Guangran truly didn’t understand why everyone had this attitude, "I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?"

"I just wanted to solve the financial issue."

"Otherwise, even if we had the opportunity to buy a house, we might have given up due to lack of money." He felt so wronged, having solved such a big problem, yet they still felt he messed up. It was truly unfair.

"Yes, but you were a bit too blunt." Zhao Gang didn’t want to talk to this foolish son, plus he had to busy himself with borrowing a vehicle to transport the TV and refrigerator back home.

Watching Zhao Gang work out the logistics for transporting the appliances, Zhao Xuran felt exhausted. Was this his brother or his son? Why did he have to bear the burden of educating him? He’s just a kid too, after all.

Zhao Xuran felt utterly drained, and Zhao Guangran wasn’t much better off. If he had a choice, he’d rather listen to his dad’s reprimands than his brother’s lectures.

Getting distracted would result in unthinkable consequences, and who knows what kind of harsh punishment awaited him. Whether he liked it or not, he had to listen.
