Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten
Chapter 1050 - 1052: I Just Look Down on You
"Wow, did Uncle really go to the Cao Family?" Gong Ruzhi brought Wan Yihui to ask Gong Ruini about Cai Ming’s whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, such a bombshell came from Gong Ruini’s mouth.
"Yes, he hasn’t returned yet." Gong Ruini was quite anxious, originally thinking it would be settled in a day, but now it’s been two days, and the matter is still unresolved, which is really strange.
Wan Yihui was disappointed to hear that his dad was actually not around, what he wanted to know was, "Will Dad come back?"
Wan Yihui hasn’t gone without seeing Cai Ming for a long time, but that was knowing he was away for business, the kids naturally weren’t anxious.
This time, however, he worried about what would happen if Dad didn’t come back.
"He will come back." Gong Ruini looked at Wan Yihui’s worried face, her heart stirred, "Do you want to go see Dad?"
She wondered if finding Cao Na meant they could sneak a peek at Cai Ming.
Could he really see Dad? Wan Yihui’s eyes lit up, then quickly dimmed, the young man shook his head, "Forget it."
"If I go, the bad guys will know."
"Once they know, they won’t let go of Dad." Wan Yihui was no fool, he didn’t want more trouble for the family from bad people.
Such an understanding child, Gong Ruini patted Wan Yihui’s head, a young child already shouldering these burdens. She wondered how Cai Zhiheng would feel, knowing he had such a smart grandson.
Perhaps he would regret it, but more would be the pity that Cai Ming hadn’t brought more benefits to the family.
"Actually, there are ways, like taking Xiao Hui, asking Uncle if he’s made up his mind, if he has, Aunt should ask for a divorce." Perhaps Cai Guoqing hadn’t responded yet, thinking Cai Ming was just bluffing.
Gong Ruini dumbly looked at Zhao Xuran; this guy knew well about Wan Yihui’s various worries, yet asked so abruptly, planning to scare Xiao Hui half to death?
"I want to see Dad, I think that’s the only way those bad guys will leave him alone." Right, Dad mentioned that as long as the bad guys know he has no money, they would stop pestering him.

"You said Cai Ming’s son is here?" Cai Guoqing has been really upset these two days.
The food quality is deteriorating, every day just some tofu and stuff, the meat that used to be there every day is gone.
This really displeased Cai Guoqing, knowing that even when the days were bad at home, at least there was meat every two or three days.
Clearly, they are staying in such a big house and are working people, how could they host guests so miserly?
Humph, must be because they saw no benefit, so they were unwilling to host them, making Cai Guoqing nervous.
Their news should be more informed than theirs, is it true there’s no benefit to be had?
Especially seeing Cai Ming being leisurely, especially during meals, eating so quickly, each time grabbing a large share of the food.
This made Cai Guoqing hate Cai Ming to the core, if in Beijing he eats so assertively, back home would he be polite?
Cai Zhiheng sat up to look at the old lady.
Tu Chunni was rather bewildered, it’s truly the first time seeing her little grandson, indeed, he has grown up nicely.
He is also quite polite, enthusiastically calling her ’Grandma’, but unfortunately, the child’s mother isn’t decent.
"The child calls me ’Grandma’, yet his mom pulls him back, not letting him call me ’Grandma’", Tu Chunni said angrily.
What, the daughter-in-law came to see him and brought the child, Cai Ming almost excitedly sat up.
"Why not let the child call you ’Grandma’?" Cai Zhiheng was perplexed.
Tu Chunni sneered, "Not simple at all, it’s just looking down on me."
"Why should they look up to you? From marriage to the child being born, did you express anything?"
"Since you didn’t express anything, you are just strangers."
"No, worse than strangers."
"You." Tu Chunni really had no fondness for this youngest son.
Clearly living a happy life himself, never recalling the suffering parents and siblings back home; such people are heartless.
"Did I say anything wrong, how you treated Cai Weitao and Xiao Hui?"
"Those two yelled at you often enough, that Xiao Hui didn’t even call you, you should be magnanimous."
"Oh, right, Mom, didn’t you say yesterday to be patient with the child, not to rush?"
"I give you those words today too, Mom." Cai Ming hadn’t seen his son for days, yearning inside.
He got up and wandered out, as for Tu Chunni feeling enraged by his words, he didn’t care.
Tu Chunni indeed got half-dead angry from Cai Ming’s words.
Pointing at Cai Ming’s back, "Old Cai, look at your son."
Cai Zhiheng understood what Cai Ming intended to convey, "He’s not wrong."
"Besides, Weitao and others are polite when they need money." Prior days of good eating didn’t show anything.
Ever since yesterday, the food was practically pig’s feed, making Cai Weitao’s attitude towards them, the grandparents, terribly rude.
Word by word, conveying that as grandparents, they couldn’t give them a good life.
"Let’s go, I’ll check on Xiao Hui."
This old man, is he out of his mind to follow that son’s lead, "Truly an old fool."
"Mom." Cai Guoqing was worried, what if the father favors Cai Ming’s son more?
Cai Guoqing knew the household still relied on Tu Chunni, looking tensely at her.
Tu Chunni looked at Cai Guoqing’s disturbed face, her heart couldn’t let go, "Ignore what your dad says."
"He’s been through a lot lately, his mind is not right."
"I know, Mom, I just worry Dad might get angered by them again when he goes out." Having Mom’s support was enough.
"That anger would be his own doing," Tu Chunni said, but still chased after him.
If the old man really got infuriated, it wouldn’t be good.
Cai Zhiheng reached the room door, without properly surveying his never-before-seen grandson, already heard, "If you’ve considered well, we can proceed with the paperwork."
"Saves you having to return to Beijing for it later." Though it’s unclear who the visitor was, since they came under this protocol, the words that needed saying were said.
"Really must divorce?" Cai Ming pitifully queried.
Cai Zhiheng watched his son being so servile, the inner fire uncontrollably wanting to flare.
"Otherwise what, supporting your parents, your brother and sister-in-law, and two nephews."
"Your brother, sister-in-law, and nephews are useless, at such age, relying on parents, shamelessly so."
"Of course, it’s your family matter, I shouldn’t meddle, but if the plan involves me, I won’t agree to it."
"Since I can’t afford to provoke, you too should leave, tomorrow, we’ll handle the paperwork."
Ah, no way, how could this girl be so heartless, Cai Zhiheng wished Cai Ming to care for Cai Guoqing, but never at the cost of sacrificing his youngest son’s happiness.
