Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 730 - 732: Secret Joy

Zhao Guangran looked at Gong Ruini carrying back a box, feeling very strange.

"Why did Zhuge Mingshan come to you?" Zhao Guangran actually wanted to ask why she gave Ni Zi something.

Clearly, the relationship isn’t good, so why would she give Ni Zi something? Maybe she wants to poison Ni Zi.

Sigh, Ni Zi too, how could she accept something from Zhuge Mingshan.

"She asked me to keep something for her." Gong Ruini placed the item on the table, anticipating that not only Zhao Guangran, but also the others, would be curious.

Since they are curious, let them see then.

Ah, keeping something? What good stuff does that girl have? Isn’t it said that their days have been as bleak as they can get?

But even being so desolate, why haven’t they moved out? Zhao Guangran had all sorts of grievances.

While complaining discontentedly, he opened the box, "Ah, no way."

Zhao Guangran was so surprised, he really didn’t expect Zhuge Mingshan would have Ni Zi keep so many things.

"Is her brain flooded?" Even though his relationship with Ni Zi is good, if he had so many good things, he probably wouldn’t trust Gong Ruini to keep them.

I didn’t expect that Zhuge Mingshan would trust, really don’t understand.

"If not with me, it would also be stolen." In front of Zhuge Zhi, Gong Ruini couldn’t ask Zhuge Mingshan much, but just with those few words, she knew a lot.

Now isn’t this the perfect opportunity for gossip, so she repeated the conversation she had with Zhuge Mingshan before.

No way, everyone present was stunned, "They actually did all that?"

"If this gets out, don’t they care about their reputation?" Even Gong Ruwen wanted to say that they are worse than the Gong Family, although Zhang Lan kept saying she wanted to marry off a money-losing daughter and make some money, but she wouldn’t be this ruthless.

"Who cares about reputation." Zhao Guangran was so angry, "Turns out they managed to survive on the money from selling their daughter."

Really quite resourceful, "But why didn’t they sell Zhuge Mingshan, isn’t she pretty capable, that betrothal gift should be a lot."

Not selling Zhuge Mingshan and whether they could trick her, that’s another issue, "Besides, she’s not that old."

At such an age, what to buy her for, to serve like an old grandmother? Even if Zhuge Mingshan doesn’t work, would this girl behave herself?

"The good news is there are no more marriageable girls." Gong Ruini can’t feel sympathy for those girls, even though they’re quite pitiable now, but weren’t they arrogant before?

Now they’re just paying some interest back, and maybe getting married now is a relief for them, saving them from even worse marriages later.

"That’s good." Zhao Guangran let out a long breath, "Looks like we’re not far from getting a house."

"Yeah." Gong Ruini was quite pleased, finally understanding why their resilience was so strong.

But now they’re happily using their sisters’ betrothal money, once they stand again, wouldn’t they retaliate?

As for why they’re marrying off so quietly now, it’s because they realized if they didn’t leave, things would only get worse.

"After buying a house, we can renovate and then move in."

"It must be like the previous house." Zhao Guangran resentfully said, clearly, it was his family’s house, and also renovated nicely, but they only lived one night and then rented out the house.

Though knowing it brings in money, Zhao Guangran still felt unwilling, "This time we must renovate even better."

"That’s a must." Seems like the previous house had been troubling Zhao Guangran all along, this guy just wouldn’t voice out, not easy at all.

"And I want to plant grapes, lots of fruits."

"You mention, as long as you check the budget." Zhao Xuran didn’t want to interrupt his brother chatting about how to renovate the house, but had to draw a line.

Ah, do we have to consider this? Isn’t uncle going to take care of it? Zhao Guangran didn’t understand why his brother would bring up such a buzz-kill topic now when he should be delighting in imagining, even if money has to be paid later, but it’s still a dream come true.

And now the dream hasn’t even been dreamed, and it’s broken by his brother, is that okay?

"Uncle is lending us money to buy a house, do you want to borrow for renovation?"

"Even if borrowed, won’t it be paid back?"

"This house is partly yours." Zhao Xuran knew Zhao Guangran wasn’t thinking of not paying, but he just wanted the house to be beautifully renovated, but if this word reaches Cai Ming, what would they think.

Looking at his brother’s long face, Zhao Guangran could only stay silent, why bother discussing these with this old-fashioned brother.

Just directly talk to uncle by then, as long as uncle has no objections, that’s settled, right, find uncle.

Regretting so much, Zhao Guangran called himself an idiot, such an easy matter, why did he stubbornly want to hit a wall.

Gong Ruini wasn’t worried Zhao Guangran wouldn’t pay for the renovation, he has at least that much integrity, she was considering how to make this house better, barring any accidents, this house would last a long time, so internally it must be well done.

Basic things like the flush toilet and bathtub must be sorted, it’s best to consider sustainable development, sigh, just thinking about it is annoying, Gong Ruini knew what to say, but she had to hold back a bit, can’t say too much.

"I have to go write my renovation plan now." Zhao Guangran wouldn’t foolishly wait, he could lay out his demands now.

And also prepare the IOU, since we’ve already borrowed money for buying the house, if for renovation there’s no money, just borrow again, Zhao Guangran didn’t believe he couldn’t pay it back.

Already starting to write plans, tsk tsk tsk, Zhao Guangran was really all proactive, just don’t know if he’s willing to be a foreman in the future.

The best candidate would be Cai Ming, but he’s busy wooing his wife, busy studying, busy making money, where does he have time to oversee the house renovation.

As for whether those workers would acknowledge Cai Ming, that would depend on whether Cai Ming had that ability.

"I want to write too." Zhan Banxia was very fond of her own house, "Sister Ni, let’s live close."

"Alright." Gong Ruini didn’t know where she would stay, but with just a few families, if problems arise, they could discuss and not freeze things completely.

Zhao Guangran pouted, he absolutely wouldn’t live close to Gong Ruini this time, must keep some distance, otherwise the pressure was overwhelming, as for Ban Xia, if she wanted to live suppressed by Gong Ruini, that’s her business, in total he would never let Gong Ruini bully him again.

Pfft, is this disdain for her? Gong Ruini rolled her eyes unceremoniously, someone still thought she would willingly live in adjacent courtyards with him?

That would indeed be annoying to death, always relying on her for help when things arise, she would feel tired too.

"I’ll stay next to you." Zhao Xuran expressed his thoughts.

Ah, no way, his own brother actually residing next to Ni Zi, this, Zhao Guangran was also a bit surprised, but inside, he snickered.

If big brother stayed next to Gong Ruini, he wouldn’t keep an eye on him all the time like before, there’d be more freedom, making Zhao Guangran feel all carefree, no pressure from anyone was blissful.

Humph, let big brother keep an eye on Gong Ruini then, after all, big brother fancied Ni Zi, let him see her bad side, then he’d know his worth.
