Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 84 - 83: Eavesdropping

Gong Tao was just saying that, it actually has nothing to do with him how the Cai Family elders will fare in the future.

The truth is that the Cai Family elders always said that a married daughter is like water spilled out, so the matter of taking care of them in old age has nothing to do with the daughter.

"If they regret it in the future, that’s their business. They have pensions, as long as there’s money, Guoqing won’t be excessive."

No matter how filial Cai Meina is, she never thought about taking care of her parents in their old age; that’s the son’s responsibility.

Moreover, if she really brought her parents over, who knows what trouble the in-laws’ side would stir up, not to mention if her uncle and others would make a fuss.

Not to mention Cai Meina is worried that the family’s things might be secretly sent to Cai Guoqing, the son they’re most satisfied with.

"I only give them some things during the holidays, provided I have the means." Thinking of what her little brother wrote in the letter, Cai Meina felt disgusted.

Gong Tao knew his brother-in-law wrote this letter specifically to talk about something, but he didn’t expect it to be something so important.

The more he read the letter, the more unsightly Gong Tao’s face became, "This is infuriating."

Just now, through the Cai Family’s letter, Gong Tao learned that the Gong Family wanted the items to build connections, but he never thought it was to win over the person who brought him down.

As for why the Cai Family leaked the information, the reason is simple: because the position his own brother is fighting for is the same position Cai Family’s eldest daughter-in-law’s relative is also vying for.

Simply put, they are competitors, and the Cai Family revealed this hoping that after Gong Tao sees their letter, he won’t give the items to the Cai Family.

The Cai Family’s plan is that once Gong Tao realizes the Cai Family is truly on his side, he might end up giving the items to the Cai Family, making them the biggest beneficiary.

Gong Tao knows that in the eyes of both the Gong and Cai Families, his family has always been the one to bully. He thought after moving to the Northeast, the scheming would stop.

He didn’t expect he would still have some value to exploit, "Do they really think I’m an idiot?"

"Do they honestly believe I will keep my cool and continue to support them like a fool?"

"They shouldn’t even think about it. Meina, I think we shouldn’t act like we didn’t receive the letter, we should reply to them."

"We should write that we’re living a hard life in the Northeast, they wouldn’t know any different." Gong Tao knew these people wouldn’t easily give up.

After all, the Northeast’s specialties are well known nationwide; knowing the Cai and Gong Families’ selfishness, they would keep harassing.

Gong Tao wasn’t worried they would cause trouble in the Northeast, considering they wouldn’t even spare the travel expenses, but he couldn’t let them think a fool is just a fool, and keep getting bullied.

"Alright." Cai Meina was surprised at first, but upon thinking, it made sense.

Gong Tao actually wanted Cai Meina to add some content in the letter to the Gong Family, but he thought it wasn’t great. If they didn’t write it, he felt the Gong Family was treating him like a fool.

Seeing her husband’s troubled look, Cai Meina said there was nothing to worry about, "Don’t worry, I know how to write the letter."

The Cai Family could treat their son so ruthlessly, they wouldn’t show mercy compared to her as a daughter.

Especially since the Cai Family wrote such a hopeful letter aiming for success, hoping to hitch to in-laws’ promotion benefits.

Now all this was ruined by her, how could the Cai Family not be angry?

Let alone the anger of the Gong Family being betrayed by the Cai Family.

Cai Meina could already foresee the dog-eat-dog stance between the Gong and Cai Families, "I can already imagine the scene of them causing a ruckus."

This was also Gong Tao’s idea, "Let them cause a ruckus. If they don’t, we won’t have a good life." Gong Tao hoped they would keep biting each other, so they wouldn’t bother with them.

And hopefully spill some secrets while they’re at it, let’s see how they can show themselves afterwards.

Gong Tao never imagined they’d commit such shameless acts to satisfy their selfish desires, "Do they still consider me a brother?"

"Forget it, we’ve long known they betrayed us." Cai Meina was the most heartbroken; when she returned home, her family said how shameless the Gong Family was, how they schemed against their son.

Unexpectedly, the Cai Family also exerted force in between; she knew her maternal family was thick-skinned but didn’t expect it to be this bad, Cai Meina was truly astonished.

Regarding the Cai Family’s shameless actions, Cai Meina could only say, "How can people be like this?"

"Is what we gave them not enough?" All these efforts were just a joke, also gave them the fuel to step over us striving for more benefits.

Cai Meina knew why her big brother-in-law held a grudge against them, "Back then, your parents suggested your brother change jobs." This might not have happened then.

Giving her brother-in-law another position, Gong Tao couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, "Do you think if they had changed his job, my brother could have held his position steady?"

It’s not that Gong Tao looks down on his brother, but his brother really doesn’t have such capability, "Not getting a promotion is better, if he does get promoted, I see it as a disaster."

Gong Tao didn’t know how to comment on his brother’s self-destructive acts, only that it was his own choice; after all, he advised him back then.

For Cai Meina, if the big brother-in-law really got promoted, she would shed a few tears, wasn’t this stepping over their family to succeed?

"It seems thanks to us coming to the Northeast, those matters have nothing to do with us anymore." Cai Meina couldn’t stop feeling grateful.

Cai Meina could assure that if they had stayed back home, once the big brother-in-law really got into trouble, their in-laws would definitely worry and then ask Gong Tao to help the big brother-in-law somehow.

Cai Meina finally understood her husband’s intentions, but the big brother-in-law couldn’t grasp this; to him, he was really being underutilized.

Gong Ruini lay motionless in bed, not expecting to miss so much content by not seeing a letter, which infuriated her.

However, based on Cai Meina’s description, Gong Ruini had no fondness for the Gong and Cai Families she hadn’t met; they were indeed detestable.

She’d seen biased parents before, but to this extent, it was unbelievably vile.

Regarding the dog-eat-dog strategy for Gong and Cai Families, Gong Ruini supported it wholeheartedly, bad people must face some punishment, or they’d really think the world is theirs.

Gong Ruini thought she was just eavesdropping, but unexpectedly when she tried to turn over carefully in bed, the person beside her stopped her.

No way, was it possible that her big brother was eavesdropping too? Gong Ruini was dumbfounded, but it’s alright, hearing these schemes would be beneficial for him.

Her big brother was a bit too honest, if he ever ran into Zhao Xuran, he truly would have no chance.
