Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life Chapter 233 - 232: Visiting the Gong Family

The Gong family couldn’t stand Lin Wanwan spending money to hire people to "persuade" them to vacate the house.

It was only then that Gong Dewang’s only son, Gong Keyi, learned that the house they had been living in for more than ten years wasn’t actually theirs!

When his wife was first cornered in their ho by the neighbor from 301 downstairs and argued on cara, she was already breaking down. After several such incidents, she couldn’t take it anymore and returned to her mother’s ho in Mian City with their son.

Gong Keyi resented his parents’ lack of ability, not being able to make the house theirs after all these years, and he also resented Lin Wanwan for suddenly appearing and disrupting his stable life.

Since Yongcheng was just another city away and he didn’t know exactly where Lin Wanwan lived, otherwise, with his temper, he would have long ago stord to Lin Wanwan’s door.

Gong Keyi blad everything but his own incompetence, being a college graduate who earned only five thousand a month and still relied on his parents.

Because of this issue, the third son Gong Dexiong and the eldest daughter Gong ijuan finally learned that the house their youngest brother bought in Hai City was actually registered under his daughter Gong Yueyao’s na.

The siblings were not very educated and were relatively honest, always assuming that after their younger brother died, the house belonged to their elderly parents.

Back then, Gong Dewang, dissatisfied with the low salary of a substitute teacher, eventually resigned as a village teacher to strive in Hai City, and naturally, he had to live in the house left by his younger brother.

Originally, he lived there alone, but gradually he brought his wife and children over, and they stopped returning to the village.

Gong Dexiong and Gong ijuan, one being the second son neglected by virtue of being between an older brother and a younger brother, thus never competing; the other a married daughter who naturally wouldn’t think of her natal family’s property.

Therefore, if Lin Wanwan hadn’t suddenly appeared, there was a high probability that Gong Dewang’s family could have lived in the house forever.

The Gong family sat in their self-built rural small building, discussing strategies—mainly it was Gong Dewang’s family jumping around, as Gong Dexiong and Gong ijuan had no opinions.

For them, the house was never going to fall to either of them anyway, so it didn’t matter who got it.

Of course, talking about relationships, compared to a niece they hadn’t seen in eighteen years, Gong Dewang, their own brother, was certainly closer, but who the house belonged to wasn’t up to them.

The old lady of the Gong family was furious when she heard about Lin Wanwan’s "persuasion" tactics.

The property certificate of the ho in Hai City was with the old couple. They were illiterate but believed in rural logic: if the son died, the house naturally belonged to the old couple of the Gong family; in rural areas, when one’s house is built by oneself, isn’t it always like this?

How is it... when it cos to Hai City, the rules change?

Hearing that Lin Wanwan had hired a lawyer to sue Gong Dewang’s family and demanded they pay back what rent they owed, the old couple found it absurd!

How could the court do this, interfere in family affairs? The old couple couldn’t understand it.

After venting his anger, Gong Keyi had a bad idea: "Dad, Mom, if this ti we can’t make them understand, you also go live in Hai City; you’re both so old, I don’t believe the court can force you out."

The group of neighbors constantly provoking them because of the money Lin Wanwan promised had already been warded off with his son’s pee-soaked diapers in every household. Now thinking of using their over-eighty-year-old grandparents to resist the court, he couldn’t believe it wouldn’t work.

Gong Dexiong imdiately opposed, saying not to ntion that the old couple was used to living in a large rural house and couldn’t get used to living in a tiny flat in the city. Besides, it wasn’t about bringing them to the city to enjoy life, but to take the fall, which wasn’t right.

Gong Dexiong said, "I think this house should belong to whoever it should belong to. Why still think about arguing? Arguing won’t give you the house.

Elder brother, since you lived in your niece’s house, you should have brought your niece back from her grandparents’ house to raise her. If you had raised her, the family wouldn’t be in court over this affair now."

Gong Dewang frowned: "Alright, stop saying these things. What good is it saying this now? You didn’t raise her back then either, did you?"

Gong Dexiong wanted to say that although he didn’t raise his niece, he also didn’t take advantage of her or seize her house.

But he didn’t say it in the end. Saying it now was aningless and would only upset people.

"Sister, what do you say? How about having the old folks co to Hai City with us?"

Gong ijuan only spoke when she was addressed: "If Dad and Mom agree, then I agree."

After all, the old folks weren’t depending on her, the married daughter, for care, and she didn’t want her natal family’s money, so naturally, she was too lazy to fight for the house, as it wouldn’t be hers even if she did fight for it. Why bother?

Just as the family eting of the Gong family was at a stalemate, Lin Wanwan arrived at the Gong family ho, following her uncle Lin Zhantian and aunt Xie Yuanying.

Lin Wanwan, on her first entry, was t with several unfriendly glances.

She didn’t expect these people to be kind to her, so she wasn’t bothered by their attitudes.

Everyone in the Gong family recognized Lin Wanwan imdiately, there was no need to say anything more; this must be the child, looking just like Lin Qingyao back in the day.

The old lady of the Gong family snorted, taking the lead: "I heard you’re stealing the house from our Gong family?"

Lin Wanwan responded calmly: "Wrong, it’s the Gong family stealing my house."

The old man Gong slamd the table: "How dare you talk to your grandma like that? No manners, is this how your grandparents raised you?"

Lin Wanwan frowned: "Talk about if you want, but don’t ntion my grandparents."

The old lady of the Gong family glared at Lin Wanwan: "Why shouldn’t I ntion them? Why didn’t they co? They claid they’d raise you back then and raised you to be like this?"

Lin Wanwan looked up at Lin Zhantian: "Uncle, is this what you agreed upon with them? With this kind of attitude?"

Lin Zhantian was slightly irritated by the unprovoked scolding, so he said, "Uncles and aunties of the Gong family, calm down. If you want the younger generation to respect you, behave like elders. My parents are past; watch your mouths.

You took our younger sister’s house and hadn’t taken care of Wanwan at all; you have no right to complain no matter what.

However, we didn’t co here to argue about this. What are your plans with the house that my little sister owned, which you’ve lived in for all these years?"

"What do you an by plans? Never heard of a woman taking a man’s house. You Lin Family, what a clever sche, raising soone to bother us, huh?"

Lin Wanwan sneered silently. One side insisted this was the Gong family’s house, another firmly claid it was the younger sister’s house, but neither acknowledged her na on the title deed.

But does it matter?

Acknowledged or not, her na was on the property’s certificate. If the Gong family wouldn’t present the certificate, at most she would spend more ti getting a new one, spend more money on filing a lawsuit.

Just didn’t know where her mom and dad were buried. If communication with them was difficult, she could ask the neighbors, surely soone would know.
