Chapter 629: Chapter 630 Younger Brother Is Good
Cai Meina heard her youngest son crying so heartbreakingly from inside the house that she couldn’t sit still anymore, but she had to observe postpartum confinement and couldn’t go out.
Listening to her youngest wailing, Cai Meina, as a mother, felt a deep anxiety. She knew that her child really didn’t like to cry.
Seeing Gong Ruwen coming in holding the little one, she hurriedly took over, getting ready to feed him, only to find that he was no longer crying and was even dozing off with the intention of sleeping.
That’s not a hungry look, Cai Meina was a bit surprised, but didn’t think much of it. Maybe it was just a bit too noisy outside, preventing the little guy from falling asleep.
Having not seen her son and daughter for so long, Cai Meina kept holding their hands, looking them over.
This time, her son went back home and then to the Northeast, putting Cai Meina’s heart on edge. Although she knew there was no danger in this trip, what mother doesn’t worry?
"Sun-tanned, but not skinnier." Cai Meina wanted to say that her children had lost weight, but she felt embarrassed to say something insincere.
"Yeah, this time my brother and I plan to get a gold lock for our younger brother." Gong Ruini thought for a long while and decided to buy something meaningful for their little brother.
Buying clothes or whatever, when he has memories, he won’t remember. It’s better to buy some jewelry. Even if he doesn’t like it in the future, it can be melted down or exchanged for something he likes.
Buying these for Gong Ruzhi made Cai Meina very happy. She was really worried that since her two older children were much older than Xiao Zhi, they might not treat him well. Just look at that Zhao Guangran to know a thing or two.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her daughter came home, she proposed to buy this for her brother, "No need, your brother is small, and what if someone steals it?"
"We need to buy it while he’s young, so when he grows up, he’ll know how much my brother and I care for him." Humph, no one out there said to be nice to Xiao Zhi. Now that we’re taking action, let’s see what Zhao Guangran will do.
If he’s petty, when Xiao Zhi grows up, just let the story out and see how he can pose as generous.
As for the concern of it being stolen, "Just cover it up when going out."
"Besides, mom, I have only one brother. If I am not good to him, to whom will I be good?" There should be a family planning policy in a couple of years, and Gong Ruini can’t guarantee that Gong Zhuang and his wife would have more children, so good relationships must be ensured now.
"Alright, alright." Cai Meina didn’t think too much. In her mind, her daughter just really wanted a brother, but for them as a couple to have another child would at least have to wait until they finished college.
"But don’t buy a big one." Cai Meina worried that with a bit of money, her daughter and son would splurge on a very large gold lock, which would be too ostentatious.
Gong Ruini did consider that buying bigger would not be a loss. The price of gold wasn’t high now, and having it was truly not a loss, but she couldn’t go against her mother’s precaution.
Helplessly, Gong Ruini could only glance at her sleeping brother and silently murmur, brother, it’s not that your sister isn’t generous, but our mom doesn’t agree.
Cai Meina watched her two children lying beside their younger brother, watching him sleep, and the scene almost made her cry.
Her own siblings didn’t get along well, and the Gong Family had their own unhappiness over money. Cai Meina, having experienced so much, really didn’t want her children to also bicker over money.
Cai Meina didn’t want her children to be this way, and seeing them bond in brotherly love made her feel much more at ease.
"I’ll teach the little brother to write and paint."
"I’ll teach him boxing and then give him test papers." Gong Ruwen was startled by some words from Zhao Guangran and Jin Tudi.
To prevent a second Zhao Guangran at home, he felt he must strive hard, to keep his brother so busy he wouldn’t have time to mix with the likes of Zhao Guangran.
Boxing was for good health, and Gong Ruini was a strong supporter of that, but making him constantly do test papers—Gong Ruini glanced at her quietly sleeping little brother and really was worried for him.
How could someone so young already have such a demanding future waiting for him?
"Alright." Cai Meina felt a bit of reluctance; she knew firsthand how much her eldest son and daughter suffered, and now, seeing the youngest about to go through the same path, it was something this mother was truly torn about.
But favoring the little one and repeating her parents’ mistakes would only lead to discord among siblings, and enduring hardships early on makes one ready for hardships later.
"Mom, don’t worry." Gong Ruwen looked up and assured Cai Meina, he wasn’t foolish, he could hear the hint of reluctance in Cai Meina’s words.
This reassured Cai Meina, but also made her a bit uneasy, worrying that her son might overthink things.
"Mom, I know you’ll probably like my brother, but you can’t be bad to Ni Zi." Gong Ruwen saw Gong Ruini lowering her head, endlessly watching their brother, and quietly spoke to Cai Meina.
For Gong Ruwen, as the eldest, he had to be strict with himself, but it was different for his sister. Her health wasn’t great, and both the Cai Family and Gong Family weren’t very good to her. If even their parents weren’t nice to Ni Zi, Gong Ruwen didn’t know if anyone else in the world would be.
What did his son mean by this? Cai Meina couldn’t help but look up at him. If someone hadn’t whispered something to her son, why would he have such thoughts? "Was it from the Gong Family or the Cai Family?"
Cai Meina couldn’t help but feel anger. Her kids only went back home every few years, and already they saw someone asking their family for money. Even though she knew it was Cai Guoqing’s doing, it made the family lose face.
Cai Meina truly didn’t understand her brother. Really, what good does causing a scene over unpaid debts do? Who says anyone has to help him?
With all that scheming, he might as well think of ways to earn money.
Thinking of Cai Guoqing made Cai Meina’s heart tighten. Her younger brother being this way, isn’t it just because their parents spoiled him? If they hadn’t, he wouldn’t be like this.
Cai Meina decided never to spoil her son again to prevent him from becoming another Cai Guoqing or Gong Qiang. Otherwise, she would truly cry without tears.
"Mom will strive to be fair." Why do so many misunderstandings happen among siblings? Isn’t it because parents are biased? "I’ll treat Ni Zi well, and you and your brother shouldn’t be jealous."
"I won’t be, and I won’t let my brother think that way either. Uncle was right; a good man should work hard to earn and not rely on hands from parents." This time going back, Gong Ruwen saw a lot.
Gong Ruwen had never seen people he thought were impressive before now fall into such destitution. It made him, who had been quite disgruntled, calm down because he knew that only what truly belonged to oneself wouldn’t be taken away.
