Gong Ruini and Gong Ruwen, the siblings carrying tools, followed by Gong Jiaxin, brother and sister of course, not to ntion Zhao Xuran, a group of five marched joyfully towards the Gong Family house.
All the way, Gong Jiaming was constantly guessing, "Ni Zi, do you think this house is big?"
"I wonder if it’s as beautiful as Grandpa Zhuge’s house."
Gong Jiaming used to think Grandpa’s small house in the countryside was quite good, but after seeing Zhuge Zhi’s house, he was deeply shocked. It really wasn’t sothing his grandpa’s house could compare to, not even close.
Before he could finish marveling, he learned that his second uncle had also bought such a house, which truly amazed him. Actually, Gong Jiaming always wanted to ask his old man when their family could buy a house in Beijing.
Hmm, just buy a courtyard house like Second Uncle’s. In the future, he and his sister could live there while studying in Beijing, or at worst, they could rent it out.
Gong Jiaming didn’t know how much money his family had, but he knew it wasn’t too little. "Ni Zi, what do you think if my dad bought a house here?"
Buying a house? Third Uncle buying a house in Beijing? No way, I didn’t think Gong Zhuang was that wealthy.
Gong Ruini didn’t know how much money Gong Zhuang had, but he probably had quite a bit. But if he were to buy a house in Beijing, "Sure, renting wouldn’t be a problem either."
No matter how much money Gong Zhuang had, since Gong Jiaming had already said so, she obviously wouldn’t say otherwise.
Housing prices in Beijing are bound to soar in the future. Missing out on such a good opportunity, if Gong Jiaming thought about this later on, would he think she was excessive in missing a chance for them to get rich?
"Right, right." Gong Jiaming agreed wholeheartedly, "We do a bit of work at ho, eat sothing nice for a few consecutive days, and Grandma will know."
"Ah." Gong Ruini rembered there should be so distance between Gong Zhuang’s and Gong Qiang’s hos, even if there really were nosy neighbours, news shouldn’t spread that far, right?
"It was actually true, once Grandma even brought Brother Xiao Yu to eat at our house, ate a whole bowl of at, and still said we’re not good." Thinking about it, Gong Jiaming felt dissatisfied, eating at was such a blissful thing, but Gong Xiaoyu snatching away the at was really annoying.
Zhang Lan took Gong Xiaoyu to have a al at Gong Zhuang’s house, and even let Gong Xiaoyu eat all the at. This combat ability, Gong Ruini wouldn’t even want to mock. Does he have a bit of sha?
"So if our family were to buy a house, rumors would spread everywhere imdiately, and Grandma might even suggest giving the house to Brother Xiao Yu for marriage." Gong Jiaming said gloomily.
This is sothing Zhang Lan might do, but Gong Ruini thought Zhang Lan was doing everything for this grandson, "Even if you have a house to marry, with his situation, can he even find a good girl?"
Having nothing to offer, everything depends on freeloading, just because Zhang Lan dotes and favors, even Gong Qiang has given up on this son.
"In Grandma’s eyes, if he doesn’t get married, no one else can get married."
"Because Grandma said, if the brother isn’t married, the younger siblings can’t get married." Gong Jiaxin said angrily.
Is there really such a practice? Gong Ruini didn’t understand, if things are done this way, there will likely be even more bachelors in the future.
"Third Uncle got married earlier than my dad." Gong Ruwen said softly.
Ah, really? Gong Zhuang got married earlier than his dad, but isn’t the eldest brother older than Gong Jiaxin?
"That Third Aunt had a previous incident, actually Xiao Xin is her second child." Gong Ruwen wasn’t very clear about these matters, but he knew so major facts, "But it probably has sothing to do with Grandma."
Oh dear, the wife miscarried and it was related to the mother-in-law, Gong Ruini suddenly felt it was just Zhang Lan doing sothing untoward to Miao Cuihua, otherwise, the latter wouldn’t be so arrogant towards such a mother-in-law.
Though the specific reason was unknown, Zhang Lan probably bore most of the responsibility since if she had reason, she wouldn’t be like this.
Gong Ruini thought about it and just found it amusing, four daughters-in-law, one divorced, one preparing to divorce, one far away and not around even locally, though even the one nearby has so heart-wrenching past.
"Oh, I just rembered, aren’t there those aunts too?" Gong Ruini hadn’t interacted much with the Gong Family, but Zhang Lan had daughters who often went back to their mother’s house.
This ti, when Zhang Lan was hospitalized, Gong Ruini went back to accompany her for so days. She really forgot if she saw those two aunts, seems she truly hadn’t, that was also considered daughters.
"Them? Without benefits, how would they co?" Gong Jiaxin despised a bit, "They said, houses should be taken by sons, they as daughters don’t need to be responsible."
Giving houses to sons, this idea was quite common to many, but if that’s the reason to use for daughters not to visit parents, Gong Ruini indeed didn’t know what to say.
They should know even though they are daughters, Zhang Lan treats them much better than Gong Tao, and that’s their attitude.
Wait, Gong Ruini suddenly thought of sothing, "If our family doesn’t want a house and waived inheritance rights, should we not be responsible for her matters in the future."
Ah, Gong Ruini really regretted, why agreed to provide Zhang Lan with care fees.
"Actually, you shouldn’t give it, giving it only benefits the eldest uncle."
"By the way, Dad said the eldest uncle might be marrying a new aunt, saying that in such a way it would help take care of Grandma." Gong Jiaxin wasn’t sure if Gong Ruini knew this, but she wanted to share it with Ruini.
Oh, won’t that be, Gong Qiang, that old scoundrel, planning to remarry. Gong Ruini was shocked, one has no prospects, another has worries and a paralyzed old mother, then there’s the unpromising freeloading son and other problematic children.
Would anyone willingly marry Gong Qiang under such circumstances? Gong Ruini really just wanted to say Gong Qiang was too optimistic.
"Yes, it’s said they’ve started talking, and ntioned you should return to dine later to et the new aunt." Gong Jiaxin didn’t know how to comnt, truly speechless.
eting the new aunt, was it inviting them to dine or to bring gifts? "We have als in Beijing."
"Also, my dad is working in Beijing with no ti." Sorry, there’s no money for Zhang Lan’s care fee, how would they have money to congratulate Gong Qiang on his wedding.
"Wait, if a new wife is married, there’s no need for care, this money." Gong Ruini was just concerned about this.
"Continue giving." Gong Jiaxin was also conflicted, if it was for hiring soone it was fine, but thinking about still giving Gong Qiang, she wasn’t really happy.
"Then don’t give it, he’s got the family house, and all grandma’s money went to him, caring is expected too." Hmph, a clever plan, but would anyone go along with his ideas?
Simply don’t give, let’s see what Gong Qiang can do, he can play rogue, can’t we?
This statent from Gong Ruini could be said, but Gong Jiaxin wasn’t in a position to say this, though she expressed as long as Second Uncle said, her father should do likewise.
Working so hard to earn money, saving one is one, instead of giving this money to Eldest Uncle, they should buy a house in Beijing, the younger brother is right, having a house in Beijing makes it a ho for future studies.
