Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 107 - 106 Property

"Mom, I want to eat meat."

"I want to eat meat, it’s New Year’s today, why is there no meat."

"I saw Older Brother sneak a big bowl." Gong Ming pointed at Gong Xinyu, indicating that there definitely was meat at home.

Of course Gong Ming felt resentful inside; he was counting on eating meat today, but even such a small wish wasn’t fulfilled, how could he hold it in?

Normally, if someone got caught sneaking food and it was exposed in front of so many people, they wouldn’t just disappear, but at least they’d stay quiet.

But who is Gong Xinyu? Raised by Zhang Lan with indulgence since childhood, he always heard that he was the eldest son and grandson of the Gong Family, and all the best things should go to him.

"How did I sneak food? All of this is mine. You come to my house for meals and expect me to give you meat."

"My mom said you all are just freeloaders who only know how to eat at my house."

"I’m eating what belongs to Grandpa and Grandma." Gong Ming objected, clearly at Grandpa and Grandma’s house, how could he be eating what’s Gong Xinyu’s?

"What belongs to Grandpa and Grandma is mine. Anything you give to them in the future will also be ours."

"You all come here to eat without bringing anything, aren’t you eating my stuff?" Gong Xinyu said arrogantly.

If it were Gong Tao and his wife present, they wouldn’t care. They have no way to care. Gong Tao and his wife know they can’t get anything from the Gong Family, they just hope that the family doesn’t scheme against them.

The problem is, do the other Gong children not scheme? They eagerly keep watch, knowing that the elders have retirement pensions, being Gong Dajiang and Zhang Lan’s children, how could they give up?

Gong Zhuang wasn’t happy, but he knew he couldn’t oppose Zhang Lan, or else his old man wouldn’t be polite.

Gong Zhuang knew his old man would never stand against his daughter-in-law, so he picked up the cup and took a sip of water, signaling to his wife, Miao Cuilan.

Miao Cuilan was well aware of her mother-in-law’s favoritism, but in the past there was the second sister-in-law, Cai Meina, to take the heat, so she just stayed in the background. Besides, Gong Tao and his wife, foolish as they were, always brought things back, so naturally no one had any objections.

Miao Cuilan was actually quite angry; ever since Gong Tao and his wife went to the Northeast, when they came back every weekend, all they brought were vegetables and greens like cabbage.

Forget about seeing meat, you wouldn’t even see slivers of it, they wouldn’t even use oil, it was practically boiled vegetables.

Back then, they said after driving Gong Tao away they would definitely live a better life, that there would be plenty of big fish and meat waiting for them.

Now, hearing Gong Xinyu’s words, how could Miao Cuilan not be mad, "Turns out in Gong Xinyu’s eyes, us coming home to visit our parents is just mooching food and drink."

"How come kids these days are so smart." Miao Cuilan couldn’t believe a pig-headed kid like Gong Xinyu could know so much, it must have been taught by the eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law.

"I’m sensible, but Third Aunt, am I wrong?" Gong Xinyu, except for showing respect to his father Gong Qiang, and being nice to Gong Dajiang and Zhang Lan, didn’t consider anyone else in the Gong Family.

Gong Xinyu knew as long as Grandpa and Grandma liked him, they were his backing, allowing him to do whatever he wanted in the Gong Family.

Given what she was accused of, Miao Cuilan was unhappy, "You’re right, everything in the family is yours."

"Isn’t your uncle a descendant of the Gong Family too?"

"When your grandparents get sick, we won’t have to take care of them?" The more Miao Cuilan spoke, the more wrong it felt.

Eldest brother Gong Qiang, Miao Cuilan knew what kind of person he was; he always rushed to grab benefits, and retreated faster than anyone when issues arose.

If the house went to Gong Qiang, in the end if the elders fell ill, it would be their responsibility. Miao Cuilan wasn’t getting into that losing deal.

"Mom, tell me, are the things Gong Xinyu said what you mean?" Miao Cuilan stared at Zhang Lan and asked.

Zhang Lan panicked. Giving the house and money to the eldest grandson, it was what she always told Gong Xinyu.

The old lady didn’t forget to remind Gong Xinyu not to say anything. Before, the child never mentioned it, but this time he blurted it out, throwing her into confusion.

To say she won’t give Gong Xinyu the things, her beloved grandson would surely cry and fuss if he heard it.

But saying all the things go to the eldest grandson, and the other sons and daughters-in-law wouldn’t have any objections? Especially Miao Cuilan, whose family used to slaughter pigs, she was a formidable figure in arguments and fights.

As for the youngest daughter-in-law, Wu Rui, her father was the leader of the youngest son, Gong Zheng. If the youngest daughter-in-law were upset, she could be difficult to handle.

Not offending any of the three parties was a tricky situation that left Zhang Lan in a tizzy.

Gong Zhuang also put down his cup and looked at Zhang Lan.

Gong Zheng didn’t want to get involved in the family’s turmoil, but after his marriage, he wasn’t as aloof as before. Now that he was married, everything required money, and it would be a lie to say he didn’t think about his parents’ money.

Moreover, before Gong Xinyu was born, Gong Zheng was regarded as Zhang Lan’s precious gem. Accepting the decline in status was one thing, but even having no share in the family house was something Gong Zheng couldn’t agree with.

As for Gong Zheng’s wife, Wu Rui, she was even more displeased, her face immediately drooping.

With her hands on her waist, she slowly stood up, "I’m feeling unwell, going back to the room." Wu Rui was upset with everything; although the house wasn’t large, there were four sons, how come her man had no share?

Wu Rui decided the old lady shouldn’t expect to give her anything in the future; even if she gave her food or drinks, it’d be like giving to an ungrateful person, who might even say she was stupid.

Wu Rui had previously thought there was no need to apply for a house. Besides not wanting to make her father uncomfortable, she thought since the Gong Family had a house, if they moved out, wouldn’t it benefit Gong Qiang?

In Wu Rui’s view, even if Gong Tao and Gong Zhuang didn’t get a house, at least her man Gong Zheng as the youngest son couldn’t possibly miss out, but she didn’t expect the old lady to be so biased to give the house directly to the eldest grandson.

Wu Rui decided she needed to think carefully, and she also worried if she stayed here, she might end up arguing with the old lady.

Thus, Wu Rui stood up and left, without any complaints, but her intention was clear: dissatisfaction with the old lady’s favoritism.

Normally, Zhang Lan might let it pass on account of Gong Zheng, but with two daughters-in-law watching, as a mother-in-law she couldn’t back down, otherwise, everyone might follow suit.

Zhang Lan declared this couldn’t be allowed, "Gong Zheng, look at your wife, don’t think just because she’s pregnant that she can disrespect her mother-in-law."

"Isn’t she feeling unwell, let’s see if she has the guts to not come out for dinner." Zhang Lan didn’t believe she wouldn’t come out to eat.

Dong Li saw the youngest sister-in-law leave like that and felt delighted. Among the four brothers, in her eyes, Gong Zheng and his wife posed the greatest threat, aside from Gong Zheng being the old lady’s favorite youngest son, Wu Rui’s father also made Zhang Lan wary.

Unexpectedly, in just a moment, Wu Rui stopped pretending and left the table directly. If not for the occasion, Dong Li would have laughed out loud.

If this continued a few more times, Dong Li believed that Gong Zheng and his wife would definitely become an eyesore for Zhang Lan. Would they still be given the house and money then?
