Chapter 657 - 659 Tracking
Zhao Guangran really regrets it, how could he have been so brain-dead back then that he didn’t catch Gong Ruwen’s trick.
No, it’s not that he’s not smart; rather, he never imagined Gong Ruwen would set a trap for him, truly excessive.
"Brother Ruiwen, how could you be like my brother, setting a trap for me." Of course Zhao Guangran was angry, he really trusted Gong Ruwen, never imagining he could be so unreasonable.
Setting a trap? Gong Ruwen would never admit to such a serious charge, "I let you choose, you chose to scoop out the pond muck yourself, what could I do."
Gong Ruwen even deliberately repeated what he said before in detail, "Alright, I know you’re tired, but isn’t there a way, think about it, we need fertilizer if we’re going to plant fruit trees, otherwise, how will they grow."
"If the fruit trees don’t grow, there’s no way to bear fruit."
"If there’s no fruit, how are we going to enjoy grapes and stuff?" Gong Ruwen vividly described the bright future after the fruits have matured to Zhao Guangran.
Trying to trick him again, trying to trick him again, this time Zhao Guangran wouldn’t fall for it, "Bear fruit, once the house is rented out next year, I think it will be enough."
Since he has already been tricked once, how could he be tricked a second time? Do they think he’s that easy to fool?
Unexpectedly, he didn’t fall for it, Gong Ruwen was surprised for a moment, but he didn’t care, what does it matter if he didn’t trick him.
This point Gong Ruwen wasn’t really worried about Zhao Guangran not working, "You promised to help."
"Later, I’ll also go help clean the pond at your house."
His family had to clean the pond as well, no way, Zhao Guangran was really stunned, wouldn’t Ni Zi’s family have to do the same after operating it for a while? It’s incredibly exhausting, Zhao Guangran even wanted to faint to avoid such heavy labor.
"If you faint, that’s better, lack of exercise, you can do the whole pond." His brother wanted to play rogue, and the only way he could handle it was by finding a very heavy, potentially overwhelming task for Zhao Guangran.
Ahhh, no way, humph, you’re ruthless, Zhao Guangran was very dissatisfied, he wanted to protest, but he could only bear it, once their house was renovated early, it could also be rented out.
Endure, must endure, "Bro, you said if we had money, could we buy a house ourselves?"
Zhao Guangran has been very concerned with houses recently, especially after someone came by wanting to buy the house they had, and in such a short time, the house price had gone up so much.
Absolutely more than keeping money in the bank for interest, not to mention if the house is renovated, it can be rented out for income.
If in the past Zhao Guangran was thinking about seeing the balance in his bank book grow, now he’s thinking if he could continually count the houses under his name, that feeling would be better than counting money.
A promising child, Gong Ruini knew Zhao Guangran had been acting mysteriously busy lately, thinking he had something on his mind, now she understood, he must be thinking about buying properties and becoming a landlord. Of course, if the house could sell for a good price, he might agree to sell it.
"The four of us split it?" Zhao Xuran was indifferent about buying a house; their money wasn’t just sitting in the bank, after all it had other uses, but of course, if there was a chance to earn more, who wouldn’t agree?
"Yes, absolutely." Although at the moment, it seems that this money-making idea was his, but Zhao Guangran didn’t dare to claim the credit, otherwise he would surely suffer terribly, it was better to be honest.
===
Zhuge Mingshan carefully followed behind, stunned by what she heard from Zhao Guangran and the others. In fact, she had previously noticed Gong Ruini and the others often coming out of Grandpa Zhuge Zhi’s courtyard house, and found it curious, wondering what they were doing.
But as the visits became more frequent, Zhuge Mingshan became quite curious. She originally thought Zhao Xuran and the others were up to no good, otherwise why would they always leave from there.
So she got the notion to follow them, unexpectedly discovering something big, and it was something that left her conflicted.
That is, Gong Ruini and the others were actually buying a house, and more importantly, Zhao Guangran’s family also bought a house, and it’s a big courtyard house.
What’s the situation? Zhuge Mingshan was dizzy; she really couldn’t believe it. Could it be that houses in Beijing were that cheap?
If they were really that cheap, her family wouldn’t be squeezing so many people into such a small house, without even a room to herself, not getting better treatment than Gong Ruini.
Thinking about it made Zhuge Mingshan angry; she’s the legitimate granddaughter of Zhuge Zhi, yet does not have the privileges of an outsider.
Wait, how could Gong Ruini and the others have money to buy a house, being people from the Northeast, how much money could they have? A farmer living on work points, with daily expenses, where would they get the money?
Even if they received university subsidies, it wouldn’t be enough to cover their expenses.
As for the little business Gong Ruini and the others were doing, how much could that earn? They only started doing business in late May, then spent the whole summer not doing any business, how much could they have made?
Could that little money buy a house? Zhuge Mingshan thought it impossible, then where did Gong Ruini and the others get the money from?
Is there even a difficult answer to this? Other than Zhuge Zhi, who else could it be.
Thinking about it made Zhuge Mingshan angry, her family didn’t have money to buy a house, they wanted to borrow some from the third uncle, but he said no without hesitation.
Excessive, really excessive, Zhuge Mingshan really wanted to confront Zhuge Ming to ask why he treats his relatives this way.
But just as she had this thought, she pushed it down again, she’s not stupid. Even if she questioned him, would Zhuge Zhi listen?
He wouldn’t care about her at all, and it could even thoroughly leak the information, and then once her grandpa gets involved, it would have been resolved long before.
Right, can’t go directly to Zhuge Zhi, she must inform the elders about this, and investigate if the house is really in Gong Ruini’s family’s name, then make plans.
While Gong Ruini and the others were busy arguing up front, completely unaware someone was following them, knowing a lot about them, also unaware someone was planning to hit them harshly.
Listening to the excited chatter of the people in front, Zhuge Mingshan’s anger rose.
"Don’t get angry, don’t get angry, let them show off for now."
"Laugh, laugh, in a few days they won’t be able to cry."
Hum, this time she definitely wants to catch them by their tails and drive them one by one away from the third uncle’s circle, and she must show her worth.
Let him know that so-called friends’ descendants don’t compare to relatives by blood.
The more Zhuge Mingshan thought about it, the happier she felt. She was already envisioning a bright life soon, while Gong Ruini and the others would be living like beggars.
Hum, by then she will surely mock them properly, let them feel what they gave her back then, in ridicule and insults, in any case, she must reclaim this place.
