Chapter 212: Chapter 212

No way, to complete the task, you can even go so far as to hurt yourself, that’s really ruthless.

Just don’t know if Gong Dajiang ever thought of the idiom "outsmarting oneself," hoping Gong Tao, being a filial son, would definitely fulfill his wishes.

"I know my dad’s health; it’s impossible that Gong Qiang would anger him to the point of coughing up blood."

"It’s true he’s angry. After all, there was all kinds of fuss as soon as we got back, but these days wouldn’t be enough for him to recover from that."

"If there really was an issue with the Gong Family, Cai Ming’s friend would have notified us, and since we haven’t heard Cai Ming mention it, it shows that the matter isn’t as the Gong Family says."

Yeah, Gong Ruini was silly; she didn’t even consider that even without the Cai Family, they still have informants in the hometown.

The Gong Family might actually be putting on an act, trying to deceive the Cai Family, or even collaborating with them; it’s all uncertain.

"I’ll ask Cai Ming if there’s been any news from the hometown lately." Cai Meina is also worried. If he really is sick, and they didn’t send the ginseng back, would it be a bit too much?

The problem is if Gong Dajiang’s health is perfectly fine and he’s deceiving people just to get a certain precious son to fulfill his wishes, then why do something so foolish?

"Mm, go ahead, and then casually mention the school matter." Zhao Gang helped ask the village chief and Wang Jianming. Although there are currently six teachers at the school, with neighboring villages wanting to send their children too, the teachers are a bit insufficient at the moment.

After hearing Zhao Gang talk about Cai Ming’s education and character, they didn’t immediately agree but said they would consider it.

Everyone thought it was almost settled because such a big issue deserves some consideration.

"Tell Cai Ming, stop thinking about conceding." Remembering how last time Cai Ming could have seized the opportunity, but was tricked into losing it, Gong Tao was very angry.

Even if Cai Ming said it was nothing, that he never intended to be an adult education teacher, giving up voluntarily is entirely different from giving up because of outsiders.

This time, the connection can be said to be Gong Tao asking Zhao Gang to step in and help; if Cai Ming gives up again, Gong Tao said he won’t fight for him in the future.

"Don’t worry, if he gives up, I won’t recognize him as my brother anymore." Cai Meina was also very upset about last time’s event.

They just didn’t know everything was already settled, and there was no way to overturn it.

Based on Cai Meina’s nature, visiting Cai Ming meant bringing some gifts, but now she doesn’t feel like it. Giving so much to her brother, what haven’t those educated youths eaten?

But those ingrates ate what they could, missed nothing, and were ruthless when needed.

"Mom, I want to go too." Gong Ruini also wanted to go out for a walk and visit where Cai Ming lives.

"What for?" Crossing two mountains, Cai Meina didn’t want her daughter exhausted. Even though her daughter had been running around and strengthening her body lately, in Cai Meina’s impression, her daughter seemed delicate.

"I can help Mom check on those people, I can talk with Uncle." Gong Ruini wanted to inquire about Cai Ming’s neighbors during this visit.

Even if Cai Ming doesn’t mention how those people are, just knowing they can resort to such despicable means shows how dark their hearts are.

This time, when Mom visits, even if Cai Ming doesn’t bring anything, who knows what those people say behind their backs, and Gong Ruini just wants to hear how they make people sick to their stomachs.

"What’s the point?" Cai Meina still wasn’t pleased, what’s so good to hear about those people, besides saying bad things about Cai Ming, what else could there be?

Gong Tao picked up Gong Ruini, "Ni Zi, you’re not going to ask for a carry halfway through, are you?"

Their daughter is incredibly smart, although young, she can easily charm people, plus she’s just a child, who’d be wary?

Especially since this time, the wife has private things to discuss with Cai Ming, with Ni Zi keeping watch outside, no one would eavesdrop.

"My health is fine." Gong Ruini wrinkled her nose, displeased with her parents underestimating her.

Clearly, she’s in good health now, but why don’t they believe it? It’s really frustrating.

"Yeah, yeah, you’re healthy." Gong Tao looked at his insistent daughter, "Remember your words, don’t ask Mom to carry you halfway."

Gong Tao worried that if he insisted Ni Zi not go, what if she sneaked out, it’d be even more troublesome.

If Ni Zi truly couldn’t persist, it could serve as an example to negate her later.

Gong Tao’s concession made Gong Ruini cheer, "Daddy, you’re the best."

Looking at the excited father and daughter, Cai Meina was the least pleased, "You two."

Everyone knows it’s not easy to handle their daughter without boundaries, but he insisted on agreeing, Cai Meina was truly annoyed by them.

"Alright, pack up, let’s head out." After having lunch early, we can get there in time for Ni Zi to take a nap and return home sooner.

"Remember to help when Aunt Hua is busy." Cai Meina reminded him, now Hua Miaozhu is the cook, and Cai Meina just assists; today she’s not around, just as Zhao Gang can step in.

"Don’t worry." Actually, lately, Gong Tao has been quite busy, as a fairly skilled carpenter, he’s been busily crafting items like cabinets for the school. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel✦fire.net

"Just take care of Ni Zi, don’t let her get lost." Despite agreeing hastily earlier, he now somewhat regrets it.

While initially thinking of testing Ni Zi, he hadn’t considered whether her body could handle it.

Seeing Gong Tao’s regret now, Cai Meina shot him a glance and led Gong Ruini out.

This left poor Gong Ruwen, who nobody thought to ask if he wanted to see Cai Ming.

Even if Gong Ruwen insisted on going, neither Cai Meina nor Gong Tao would agree. If one child couldn’t walk, Cai Meina might carry, but two kids, they simply couldn’t manage.

Gong Ruwen leaned at the gate, waving persistently at Ni Zi, "Sister, come back soon."

Gong Ruini kept turning back, seeing poor Gong Ruwen like a sad puppy. She felt a bit reluctant; her elder brother really was pitiful.

Bringing Gong Ruwen to see Uncle might be the best choice, but Gong Ruini wouldn’t want to switch with Gong Ruwen. Why give up the environment she worked hard to earn?

More importantly, these days were incredibly boring, except for drawing and practicing calligraphy, it’s either following Zhao Xuran to learn new lessons, life was really monotonous.

Cai Ming’s side shouldn’t be dull; with so many extreme characters, just thinking about it is exciting. Wondering if she can engage in an epic battle, no, witness extremes fighting it out.

Gong Ruini remembered Cai Ming mentioned fights over small benefits and advantages were fierce. Unfortunately, such opportunities weren’t abundant, rare to encounter.
