Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 99 - 98 Showing Colors

Even though she had promised so much, her parents’ faces were still not looking good. Gong Ruini didn’t understand.

Did they want her to promise even more? Gong Ruini couldn’t understand.

"You need to exercise more." Cai Meina felt this was also a direction.

Why do working people not get sick easily? It’s all due to constant labor, which makes them healthy. Why is her own daughter not in good health? It’s also related to her lack of exercise.

"Okay." Oh my, her mom’s expression was terrifying. Gong Ruini shrank her neck.

Gong Tao saw his daughter’s uneasy look and felt heartache, "Meina, Ni Zi’s body just got better, you can’t be like this."

"Besides, Ni Zi just had a big scare." Gong Tao said softly, looking worried that Cai Meina might lose her temper.

It wasn’t that Gong Tao was afraid of Cai Meina, but he didn’t want to frighten the just-awakened Ni Zi.

"Anyway, she’s already been scared, and she has to face it eventually. Ni Zi, if someone bullies you in the future, you must tell Mom."

"Even if it’s your so-called grandparents." Cai Meina held on to Gong Ruini, repeatedly advising her.

She didn’t forget to roll her eyes at Gong Tao beside her, "As for your dad, there’s no need to inform him. His heart and eyes are only for their family."

"Hey, hey, hey, am I that kind of person?" Gong Tao protested against this accusation.

However, Gong Tao still had to advise Gong Ruini a bit, "Your mom is not wrong. If anyone bullies you in the future, you must speak up, no matter who it is."

"Even if your grandparents don’t like it, even if they have all kinds of reasons not to like you, you are our daughter, the child we love the most."

If Gong Ruini still didn’t get it, she’d be a fool. It seemed that she had talked in her sleep, and they heard it.

Gong Ruini was relieved. Although they previously promised not to give the Gong Family too many benefits, she was really worried that if the Gong Family softened their stance a bit and spoke nicely, her parents might forget the harm the Gong Family had done to them in the past.

And now they knew the Gong Family bullied the child so much. As parents, it’s impossible not to take it to heart, although Gong Ruini felt there was a bit of drama. But these were the sins of the Gong Family themselves.

If they hadn’t acted so excessively, how could Gong Tao believe it was their handiwork? "Mom, I know, I was a child before and couldn’t say anything. I was afraid they would say bad things about me, afraid they would sell or give me away."

Gong Ruini didn’t know if Zhang Lan really had this thought, but she did say it many times. Gong Ruini remembered hearing it no less than a hundred times, and more importantly, the neighbors heard it too.

"Grandma Feng and Grandma Zhang, who live next door to Grandma’s house, both heard it."

"Oh, she really said that?" Cai Meina was dumbfounded, never expecting the old woman to say such things.

And for it to be heard by the surrounding neighbors, it showed how arrogant she was, not afraid of being overheard by the neighbors. Cai Meina was about to explode in anger.

Gong Ruini nodded, "Although Grandma said it was to scare me, to make me behave, but Mom, I was very well-behaved. Even when Grandma didn’t give me food, I didn’t cry."

This was a golden opportunity not to be missed. Gong Ruini looked aggrieved, "Mom, you know, when you told me to stay at Grandma’s, I was really scared."

"I worried that if you didn’t come back, Grandma would sell me."

"Grandma always said I was just a jinx, only spending the Gong Family’s money and never bringing benefits to them. She even said it would be better to sell me and make some money for the Gong Family."

Did supporting Gong Ruini really cost the Gong Family money? To say such things to Gong Ruini, especially when Ni Zi was such a young child, showed how ingrained these words were.

Cai Meina couldn’t imagine what hardships her daughter must have suffered under Zhang Lan, but she felt like she was going crazy.

"That’s your mom, a person who treats her own granddaughter better than Ni Zi."

"Yet she wanted to sell Ni Zi, who gave her the right?"

"Hmph, I originally thought of giving her some respect, but during festivals there was nothing, as your several brothers would not give your parents anything either."

Cai Meina was foolishly thinking of respecting them a bit, yet she was aware the other sisters-in-law wouldn’t give anything to the Gong Dajiang couple except trying to take advantage.

Previously, Cai Meina didn’t care about these things; even if her parents were biased, they were her parents. Now she realized how foolish she was.

"Why do your parents act so greedily? Isn’t it because they think we’re easy to talk to? We need to show them that we’re not pushovers." Cai Meina admitted that Zhao Gang was right. Perhaps Zhang Lan wouldn’t have acted so excessively from the start if she hadn’t seen them as easy targets.

Gong Tao was stunned; he knew there was resentment, but he never thought they wanted to sell Gong Ruini, his daughter, their granddaughter.

As for Cai Meina’s decision, Gong Tao had no objections, "Don’t give them anything. Anyway, they don’t like us. We’ve given them so much, and they’ve never been grateful even once. Then we shouldn’t give anything."

"We’d be better off selling things and saving the money for Ni Zi." Gong Tao completely blocked any last hope of reconciliation with the Gong Family.

Clearly, raising Ni Zi was with their couples’ money, yet the way his mother spoke made it seem like the Gong Family was helping them raise their daughter. Those words were very skillfully said.

"Ni Zi, rest assured, you are your mom and dad’s good child; we won’t sell you. If they say anything again, go to the neighborhood committee auntie and tell them." Cai Meina knew this wasn’t something she could handle directly.

But Ni Zi was different. She could first tell them as a child, then her mother standing out would be logical.

Even if this meant the Gong Family would utterly lose face, causing Zhang Lan and Gong Dajiang to take out their anger on her, Cai Meina wasn’t worried or afraid.

If this matter were left alone, something even more terrifying might happen in the future. Now they were just talking about selling Gong Ruini; who knew they might really try it someday. fгeewebnovёl.com

Not to mention, in some poor places, men who can’t find wives might spend money in remote areas to buy one. Although this is illegal, it’s permissible if both parties agree.

Though Ni Zi is still young, she’s a beautiful child, and when she grows up, she would definitely be a beauty. What if the old lady really set her sights on Gong Ruini?

Perhaps to secure a future for her grandson or son, she might sell an unwanted granddaughter to a man beneficial to the elder uncle. It’s a normal occurrence.

Cai Meina’s face turned white as she thought about it. This matter had to be discussed with Gong Ruini, letting her know that people like Zhang Lan weren’t good, and she had to stay away from them.

Cai Meina refused to let her daughter be sold by Zhang Lan, whose choices solely consider whether it’s beneficial for Gong Qiang, not anything else.
