Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 71 - 70: Sudden Misfortune

Zhan Jing woke up feeling groggy, hearing her son scolding someone outside the window.

She found it strange since her son seldom scolded anyone outside.

Especially after the Gong Family arrived, her eldest son would only scold Zhao Guangran when Gong Ruini and the others were not around, so as not to embarrass their younger son.

After Zhao Guangran was pulled away by Zhao Xuran, he felt very aggrieved.

Humph, he knew his big brother was siding with that girl. The situation was clearly in his favor; just a few more moves could completely suppress Gong Ruini.

But his big brother intervened at that moment, and even let Gong Ruini kick him twice, which was too much.

Gong Ruini was even angrier, having been bullied so miserably by Zhao Guangran’s pigheadedness, the situation finally turned in her favor, only to be called to a halt. Who could accept that?

But Zhao Xuran even called Gong Ruwen as backup; Gong Ruini couldn’t withstand their strength.

Moreover, her own big brother, Gong Ruini dared not act rashly against him, as for Zhao Xuran, he was strong and cunning.

What else could she do but curse him silently as a brother who dotes on his younger brother?

Zhao Xuran noticed their unhappy expressions, "Unhappy?"

"Do you still want to go outside and fight?"

"Haven’t fought enough?" Zhao Xuran said irritably.

"Do you need me to clear a space for you to fight?"

"Look at the mess you’ve made, the stuff we piled before is all shattered." Zhao Xuran wasn’t heartbroken over the snow that was piled up, knowing someone would clear it later anyway.

Zhao Xuran’s concern was if these two got into a reckless fight, what if they injured themselves, losing two laborers?

"You have strength, right? Then pile up the snow on the ground." Zhao Xuran instructed unceremoniously.

"Until you finish the work, you won’t be allowed to have dinner." Zhao Xuran reflected on why neither feared him. It must be because he was too lenient.

Might as well put on a stern face, and see how they dare to act up.

They all think he’s easy to bully, Zhao Xuran decided not to be too nice to these two rascals.

Oh, really? No dinner? Gong Ruini was stunned.

Zhao Guangran wasn’t much better, his mouth opened wider than Gong Ruini’s.

If Zhao Xuran wasn’t talking about "you," the boy would probably protest his brother’s excesses.

Even though he had Gong Ruini accompanying him, the feeling of hunger was unpleasant.

For Zhao Guangran, eating was a top priority, anything else could be skipped, but meals couldn’t be missed.

Not to mention having so much work to do, what to do?

Gong Ruini looked at the messy snow all over, feeling regret.

It was satisfying to hit Zhao Guangran at first, but she didn’t gain much advantage later.

That would have been fine, but now having to finish work to eat, wasn’t it a disaster descending from the heavens?

She knew associating with Zhao Guangran never ended well, he’s nothing but a jinx, Gong Ruini continually mocked him inwardly.

Gong Ruini pitifully looked at Zhao Xuran, hoping he would relent, but she wouldn’t beg for forgiveness after all, as she was the first to strike.

Zhao Guangran thought long and hard, although he wanted to see Gong Ruini hungry, he didn’t want to be dragged in. "Brother, it was, it was Ni Zi who started it."

Yes, exactly. If Gong Ruini hadn’t started, would he have fought?

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many issues, it’s true she was a jinx.

"She started it, so you can start too, who told you that?" Zhao Xuran said sternly, "That’s decided, you have time to beg me, why not get to work."

"Whenever you finish the work, then you can eat."

"Don’t expect anyone to help, only you two will do the work." Zhao Xuran followed with another more dire message.

No way, no one will help? Gong Ruini was stunned, she knew Zhao Xuran might not help, but wasn’t Gong Tao and Gong Ruwen still around?

Gong Ruini was confident they would help, but now the path was blocked, what could be done?

Humph, why listen to him, Gong Ruini stated she was a child and couldn’t bear hunger, otherwise, it would cause big trouble.

Zhao Guangran knew his big brother’s temper, ordinarily, when his big brother said it, it meant little room for negotiation.

"It’s all your fault, if not for you, would this happen?" Zhao Guangran angrily lashed out at Gong Ruini.

If it weren’t for worrying his big brother would see him strike and incur more guilt and punishment, he would have pushed Gong Ruini.

"How is it my fault?" I’m not taking the blame, "If you hadn’t lied first, would I have done this?"

"Where did I lie? You’re just stupid." What an idiot, could he deceive, Zhao Guangran retorted. frёeωebɳovel.com

Zhao Gang watched the two kids quarrel below, seeing it escalate, Gong Tao was uneasy, "Really, make them work before eating?"

Gong Tao uneasily looked at the snow on the ground, it’s not ordinary snow, Gong Ruini and Zhao Guangran are just kids, how long would they work?

Though Gong Tao also thought his daughter got too excited today, the punishment seemed excessive.

"Don’t worry, it won’t cause trouble, Xuran knows what he’s doing." Zhao Gang reassured the excited friend, "If you continue like this, how will Xuran discipline the younger kids later?"

Zhao Gang couldn’t guarantee they always had time to supervise the kids, ideally someone like Zhao Xuran would lead them.

Though Zhao Gang wasn’t loud, his words carried weight, leaving Gong Tao unable to object.

"Okay, but Ni Zi, she..." Gong Tao helplessly wanted to fight for his daughter a little.

"Don’t worry, some things require rules, right? No rules, no order."

"And eating later is no issue."

"This way, they can remember it firmly." Zhao Gang didn’t say it, but he wasn’t pleased with Zhao Guangran and Gong Ruini’s earlier antics.

A little scuffle was normal, but knowingly breaking the prepared ice blocks and scattering snow, that’s disrespectful to labor.

If not taught a lesson, will it worsen in the future? This behavior can’t be encouraged.

Listening to Zhao Gang’s analysis, Gong Tao stayed silent, this matter could be trivial or serious, but as soon as it touched on labor, it was serious.

"Rest assured, they’ll finish by seven tonight." Zhao Gang reassured.

Zhao Gang rested easy, believing his robust son needed teaching.

Gong Tao, looking at his tender daughter, felt all sorts of reluctance, but his friend advised him, being reliant on others he had to comply, couldn’t voice an objection.

Gong Tao responded to his daughter’s pleading eyes by pretending he hadn’t seen it.
