The biggest family possession, at first Gong Tao did not understand the aning of his friend’s words, but later he understood.
But do we really have to take that stuff out, exchange it for money, and then buy a house?
It’s not that Gong Tao is unwilling to use so much of it, but his wife has long planned how to allocate these things.
Don’t look at how Gong Tao often says he’s the head of the household, but when it cos to major issues, this so-called head really doesn’t have much decision-making power; it depends on his wife’s decision.
It’s false to say Gong Tao isn’t tempted; the houses here are big, and when his daughter cos ho after getting married, there’s a place to stay. After his sons get married, they don’t have to move out one by one.
Of course, the point is that there are many houses, and they are big enough to be divided. There won’t be all sorts of unhappiness because of small issues.
Gong Tao is very satisfied with the houses here, but the only issue is money, which is the most important problem.
As long as the money problem is solved, there’s really nothing to worry about.
When Gong Ruini saw Zhao Gang and Gong Tao whispering to each other, she ca over to listen to what they were saying, and when she heard Zhao Gang encouraging Gong Tao to buy a house here, she genuinely thought this suggestion was good.
As for whether the house would be for Gong Ruwen or an unborn brother, or if it would beco the Gong Family’s property in Beijing, these are not issues.
"Dad, I think Uncle Zhao’s suggestion is good." Gong Ruini tugged Gong Tao’s clothes, indicating she had sothing to say.
His little daughter was eavesdropping again; Gong Tao had already given up on trying to persuade her, "The houses here are expensive."
"But such a good house, there aren’t many like it in Beijing. I think it will be worth even more in the future." Expensive houses can increase in value quickly, at least becoming multimillion-dollar mansions.
Worth even more, Gong Tao said he didn’t dare to think about such distant matters, "If we buy a house like this, how will we have the ans to buy another one in the future?"
Gong Tao expressed his concern, "If you only had one brother, I wouldn’t worry."
Gong Tao can excessively pamper his daughter in many things, but what’s given to the daughter cannot surpass what’s given to the son. Especially such a large house, it must be left to the son as the most important asset for the Old Gong Family to pass on properly.
But the key now is, "Your mom is likely having a brother." Last ti, when the pulse was checked, although Zhan Jing did not say it clearly, it is almost certain to be a boy.
"By then, in terms of who gets this house, your grandparents are very biased, and I don’t want to show favoritism again." While the eldest son must be valued, he does not want the younger son to be neglected in various ways.
Gong Tao has suffered enough from his parents’ favoritism and cannot let such a tragedy happen to his children again.
His old man’s thinking isn’t ordinary, "Dad, you worry about not being able to fairly divide the house between brother and younger brother, right?"
His daughter imdiately pointed out the key issue, "Look at your uncle and uncle-in-law; they cause all sorts of trouble over houses and money."
Their family had just a broken house with little money, and those brothers could cause such a fuss; if it were soone with such a family background and such good houses, who knows how much more they’d fuss.
Cause trouble? It really is the Gong Family’s shadow, "That’s because they are incompetent." Gong Ruini really wanted to knock so sense into Gong Tao’s head; how could he only see those idiots like Gong Qiang and not his own hard work?
"Dad, what was the situation when you first went to the Northeast, and what are things like now? We have money." Gong Ruini didn’t just think her dad was good; it was simply a fact.
If they had stayed in their hotown, no matter if Gong Ruini were a person who had traveled through ti, she couldn’t guarantee that Gong Tao and his family would lead a good life.
Perhaps Gong Tao would continue to be bullied by Zhang Lan and others, and even the smart Gong Ruwen could beco biased, not necessarily having a better future than Gong Xiaoyu.
Even from those few distant glimpses of Gong Xiaoyu, it didn’t leave any favorable impression on Gong Ruini. It’s really a wonder how Gong Qiang and the others, who see this kid every day, don’t have any reactions.
Fortunately, their family moved away from the Gong Family early; otherwise, their family might have been ruined. "Dad, compared to this, my brother and I have to thank you and mom for letting us read."
"For allowing us to study what we want to learn."
Gong Ruini really had to thank Gong Tao; in this era where studying was not valued, neither Gong Tao nor his wife ever thought studying was useless, nor did they think there was no point for their daughter to study. As long as the siblings wanted to study, they always did their best to fulfill their wishes.
"Dad, it’s better to leave money to spend than to have us study hard. Only by earning a lot of money on our own will we not have regrets." Of course, unless people are very greedy, for them, the money they earn through their efforts is essential, as is the money given by their parents.
"Dad, you should believe that with and my brother’s guidance, we certainly won’t raise an ungrateful child." Gong Ruini felt if she could raise Gong Ruwen well, she couldn’t possibly fail to raise her younger brother.
Hearing his daughter’s words and encouraged by his friend’s advice, Gong Tao was really tempted. More importantly, he still rembered the shock of visiting Zhuge Zhi’s house.
"Okay, I’ll discuss it with your mom." Gong Tao being tempted was useless; he still needed to discuss it with Cai ina.
Ah, he needs to discuss it with Cai ina. Gong Ruini thought the chance of buying a house might be uncertain now. For Cai ina, there are too many things that need money; buying a house is necessary, but so much money couldn’t be tied up in a house that can’t be monetized.
"But mom won’t agree." Gong Ruini was thinking about whether they could avoid Cai ina.
But Gong Ruini also knew it was unlikely. After all, Cai ina was the one handling the money, and buying a house wasn’t a small expense; it couldn’t be done without going through Cai ina. Sigh.
It seems a good plan is needed to find soone to persuade Cai ina, but who could they find?
Gong Ruini didn’t consider doing it herself, not because she wasn’t willing to be the bad guy, but because if she stepped in, Cai ina might not even believe her. In her eyes, Gong Ruini was just a child, perhaps quite smart, but would she really listen to a child about such a big decision?
"You might consider having Uncle co forward." Just as Gong Ruini was anxious, Zhao Xuran suggested from the side.
Having Uncle co forward? Gong Ruini thought for a mont; it was indeed a good suggestion. Compared to her, Cai Ming’s status in Cai ina’s mind wasn’t low either, and importantly, he was an adult.
As for whether Cai Ming would agree, Gong Ruini didn’t see it as a problem. Cai Ming was soone who also sought to rely more on himself, not just hoping to depend on others.
Ah, wait, why did Zhao Xuran suddenly appear? It was only then that Gong Ruini realized it was Zhao Xuran who’d been speaking; hadn’t he been talking with Zhao Guangran and others? How did he suddenly jump over here and know about their troubles?
"Guangran took the twins inside," Zhao Xuran gestured, indicating that everyone had gone inside, leaving only them outside.
