Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 35 - 34: Eavesdropping

Gong Tao, lacking energy, quietly walked into the courtyard and picked up Gong Ruini in one swoop.

"Let’s see how you run now." Gong Tao, venting his frustration, rubbed his chin against Gong Ruini’s face repeatedly.

Gong Ruini kept dodging Gong Tao’s actions, "Dad, it tickles."

"Dad, it tickles."

Fortunately, Gong Tao had shaved his beard, otherwise, Gong Ruini would absolutely not let Gong Tao come near. She’s determined to become a fair, rich, and beautiful person, so she pays attention to her skin from a young age.

It’s said that children’s skin recovers easily, but Gong Ruini wouldn’t naively think it’s okay for her to be dark just because she’s a child.

You’ve got to take care of your skin from an early age, so you won’t regret it when you grow up. Gong Ruini even plans to get a hat for summer, so she can wear a big hat when going out. Yes, the brim has to be big; if possible, it should cover her entire body.

As for being laughed at by Zhao Guangran when going out like this, Gong Ruini doesn’t care. No matter how much they disdain or mock her, nothing can stop her determination to become fair, rich, and beautiful.

"Wow, bro, are you really my brother?"

"How can you treat me like this?"

Zhao Guangran jumped up angrily from the kang and glared fiercely at Zhao Xuran.

Zhao Guangran couldn’t believe that while he was sleeping soundly, his big brother still wouldn’t let him off. Doesn’t he know that he was very tired yesterday?

"Gong Ruini’s already up, shouldn’t you, as a brother, do the same?" Zhao Xuran paid no mind to Zhao Guangran’s angry expression, pointing out that as a brother, he wasn’t as diligent as his sister.

Ah, Gong Ruini is already up? No way, wasn’t she tired yesterday too? Zhao Guangran was dumbfounded. This girl is too much; doesn’t she know that sleeping in is most suitable at this time?

Why isn’t Gong Ruini the elder sister? If so, no matter how his brother scolded her, Zhao Guangran could shamelessly say it’s because she’s the elder sister.

But why does she have to be the younger sister? At this moment, Zhao Guangran completely forgot how much he had previously looked forward to having a sister.

"Get up now." Zhao Xuran gestured for Zhao Guangran to keep his voice down, "Dad came home in the middle of the night, you don’t want to wake him up, right?" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Dealing with these naughty kids can’t just be with words; you must also apply some pressure with physical force.

Zhao Xuran raised a fist and waved it in front of Zhao Guangran.

"Here we go again." Zhao Guangran was very aggrieved. Why is he the younger brother? If only he were the older brother, he would definitely give his brother a good lesson, and get his revenge back.

"Wait until you become the older brother to say that." Knowing that his little brother must be muttering why he isn’t the older brother, Zhao Xuran found it amusing; this boy’s mind is simple like that.

All his emotions are written clearly on his face, "You are the brother of Gong Ruini now, but you’re not doing as well as her as a brother."

Zhao Xuran didn’t mind adding more fuel to the fire, "Do you think you have the authority of a brother like this?"

"Being a brother means setting an example for the younger siblings."

Ugh, why does my sister have to be Gong Ruini? Zhao Guangran really felt a lot of pressure. His brother was already somewhat dissatisfied with him, but with the support of his parents, Zhao Guangran still felt he was living comfortably.

The problem was that ever since Gong Ruini arrived, his big brother treated her as a role model, constantly prodding him. Even his parents wouldn’t stop talking about how good Gong Ruini was. Although Zhao Guangran liked Gong Ruini too, hearing about her goodness all the time gave him a rebellious feeling.

"I hate Ni Zi." Zhao Guangran muttered softly.

Hate? "Don’t you want to do better than Ni Zi, so everyone will say you’re a good brother?"

The brat was erupting. Zhao Guangran saying such things didn’t surprise Zhao Xuran. Deep down, his little brother had a big heart that didn’t care much about his surroundings.

"How was your brother with you back then?"

"And how did Brother Rui Wen take care of you?"

Zhao Xuran never thought that Gong Ruwen would take care of people so well. Even if his little brother was a brat, he really took care of Zhao Guangran.

Even though he didn’t have much strength either, he still tried hard to help Zhao Guangran move things down the mountain.

"Think about how you’re treating Ni Zi." Zhao Xuran asked sternly.

How he’s treated Ni Zi, Zhao Guangran didn’t want to say. He knew he was wrong yesterday. He also thought his brother would give him a harsh scolding, but yesterday they were busy at home, so nothing was said to him.

He thought he had dodged a bullet, not expecting his brother to be waiting here for him. Zhao Guangran didn’t want to say, his eyes kept darting around.

Guilty? Well, at least he felt guilty. Zhao Xuran didn’t talk to him yesterday hoping his silly brother would realize it on his own. But he never thought he would think it just passed like this.

Even now, in conversation, he dared to avoid making eye contact.

Zhao Xuran turned Zhao Guangran’s face so their eyes would meet.

As the two brothers lowered their voices, partially so as not to wake Zhao Gang, and partially not to let Gong Ruini outside hear, maintaining his little brother/own face was of utmost importance.

So Gong Ruini assumed the brothers were arguing over some shout-out, completely unaware they were really arguing because of her.

"Brother Guangran is in trouble." Gong Ruini whispered with a happy smile into Gong Tao’s ear.

With this Zhao Guangran who insists on playing the big brother while being childishly immature, Gong Ruini really couldn’t muster a bit of respect for him.

Gong Tao was well aware of how these siblings often quarreled, but his daughter’s attitude was not appropriate.

It was still fine to mock Zhao Guangran in front of their own family, but what if Zhao Gang’s family saw it?

Gong Tao knew his daughter meant no harm, but what if the Zhao family misunderstood, especially since Zhao Guangran was a sensitive kid.

"You can’t mock people like that." Gong Tao advised.

Such a timid dad, please, when have I ever messed things up? "Dad, don’t worry."

"But will Uncle Zhao Gang be woken up by Brother Guangran’s shouting?" I heard from the old man that it was Zhao Gang who drove the cart the whole way without closing his eyes, while Gong Tao was wrapped in a blanket catching some rest. Of course, when he woke up, he felt cold, but at least he regained a bit of energy.

"I’m not sure, but he probably didn’t wake up." Gong Tao wasn’t very sure about the situation inside, but after listening carefully and not hearing Zhao Gang’s voice, he assumed he hadn’t awakened.

This trip greatly broadened Gong Tao’s horizons. Initially, he thought coming here was just about having enough to eat and drink, and saving a bit at the end of the year. He never expected such a rich reward.

Gong Tao expressed his heart was aflame, his mood exceedingly cheerful. He simply thought of working hard, learning to hunt, and learning to cultivate new land in the mountains, in short, to make money through every means possible.
