Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 108 - 106: Each More Biased Than the Other

A biased mother, a pregnant wife who keeps him in mind, choosing between them is really not difficult at all.

Gong Zheng got up and walked outside, Zhang Lan was delighted, she knew that regardless of how her daughters-in-law fussed, he was still her son.

Before Zhang Lan could express an opinion about her son, she noticed her son took two big bowls and poured the food into them.

What is going on? Zhang Lan was stunned, and the rest weren’t much better off.

Gong Zheng quickly finished preparing the food and walked to his room, "We’ll eat in the room."

Since the old lady could be so ruthless, why should he listen? Everything is meant for Gong Xinyu, so what about his child?

Zhang Lan just watched dumbly as Gong Zheng took the food to his room, and then the door shut.

The door closed, leaving Zhang Lan furious, "Gong Zheng, you little brat, how dare you do this?"

Just before she accused the daughter-in-law of having a temper and dared her not to come out for dinner, she wanted the daughter-in-law to know that she, as the mother-in-law, was in charge.

Unexpectedly, her son turned around and completely undermined her.

Miao Cuilan glanced at the dining table, feeling agitated inside, knowing Gong Zheng wasn’t a good person either, just pretending. Didn’t expect such a ruthless action.

Dong Li didn’t notice initially, but when she came to her senses, she saw half of the food on the table was gone, "Why is there so much less?"

The food wasn’t much to begin with, and it was difficult for so many to eat. And now, with Gong Zheng’s antics, Dong Li couldn’t imagine how Gong Dajiang would react to seeing such a meal.

Zhang Lan couldn’t care about the food; she was worried about her authority as a mother-in-law.

Gong Dajiang, who had finished chatting and playing chess with old friends, heard his wife shouting and cursing before entering the house. Unhappy, he pushed the door open, "What’s all the noise during New Year?"

"Dad, you’re back." No matter how much Miao Cuilan and others had opinions about Zhang Lan, seeing Gong Dajiang, they all exhibited a fearful manner. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Gong Dajiang acknowledged with a sound and looked around, "Where’s Gong Zheng?"

"Uncle took a lot of food to the room to eat; Aunt went in first." Seeing his grandfather enter, Gong Xinyu quickly darted to Gong Dajiang’s side to help him.

Dong Li was very happy seeing her eldest son’s actions. Although the grandparents favored Gong Xinyu, the eldest son, as long as he was there, the grandparents would fully support them.

So, even if her son was not favorable towards her, he was very favorable towards his grandparents. Even if Dong Li was a little displeased, she never complained.

Seeing so many grandchildren, Gong Dajiang found only Gong Xinyu helping to carry things, and snorted coldly.

They were both Gong family descendants, why was there such a stark difference?

"Alright, fine, if Gong Zheng wants to eat in the room, let him eat in the room." Gong Dajiang said calmly. Although he was annoyed too, was he supposed to bang on the door and let Gong Zheng out?

Gong Dajiang knew that this daughter-in-law was the one with the biggest temper, better to wait until things calmed down.

Wait until Wu Rui cools down, then let Gong Zheng persuade her for a bit. After all, a mother-in-law is still a mother-in-law; one shouldn’t just leave in a huff, that’s not the behavior of a good daughter-in-law.

Such a simple matter still can’t be handled properly, making things a big fuss, doesn’t anyone know what embarrassment is?

"Let’s eat, let’s eat." Gong Dajiang walked to the table intending to sit down, but before he could sit, his expression dramatically changed.

The table’s dishes had been tampered with; that’s not the issue—the issue was half the food was missing, not even any meat, just greens like cabbage and tofu.

Is this the New Year’s dinner? Gong Dajiang couldn’t remember the last time he ate such a meal, as that was long ago, "This is our New Year’s dinner?"

He knew life at home had been tough lately but didn’t think it would be this bad, "Where’s the meat, where’s the New Year’s meat?

"

"Was it taken by Gong Zheng?" Gong Dajiang got angry. You want to take food to your room, fine, but how could you take all the meat? Does he conduct himself as a son?

Seeing Gong Dajiang’s anger, Gong Xinyu got scared; his grandpa’s furious demeanor was terrifying.

What to do? Gong Xinyu wouldn’t admit it was his fault for eating all the meat; instead, he thought Zhang Lan was stingy. If she’d made more meat, this wouldn’t happen.

Miao Cuilan would prefer Gong Dajiang to dislike Gong Zheng, but compared to Gong Zheng, she found Gong Xinyu more detestable.

"Dad, we didn’t see the meat; mom gave it all to Gong Xinyu. Xiao Ming wanted some but wasn’t allowed..." Miao Cuilan rattled off the previous event.

Zhang Lan had stopped crying when her husband questioned about the meat. She knew if pursued, her cherished grandson would be in trouble.

Before she could explain, the third daughter-in-law rattled off the entire story, leaving Zhang Lan’s face looking quite ugly.

The meat was given all to Gong Xinyu? A whole bowl was eaten? Gong Dajiang, deprived of meat for a long time, had high expectations for the New Year’s braised pork, but now all expectations vanished, his face turned extremely unpleasant, and his gaze towards Gong Xinyu became vicious.

"How can you eat first when your elders haven’t?"

"You even dare to claim everything is given to you?" No matter how much he favored the eldest son, Gong Dajiang definitely wouldn’t say the house would be left to Gong Qiang at this moment.

All the sons were eyeing these small things seriously; letting them know the house goes to Gong Qiang would make them resent each other.

Actually, regardless of Gong Qiang and his brothers’ relations, Gong Dajiang didn’t care. He worried about whether his sons would care for him in the future, hoping Gong Qiang, knowing the house would surely be theirs, would still treat him well.

Whatever the case, a stance needed to be shown, so Gong Dajiang angrily berated Gong Xinyu, "Don’t you know good things should be shared with elders?"

"And who said the house would be left to you? I haven’t even divided it with your father; why would I give it to you?" Gong Dajiang said angrily.

Overall, Gong Xinyu was scolded badly, making him resent Gong Dajiang.

Gong Dajiang hoped to make Gong Zhuang and his wife understand that he never intended to leave the house to the eldest son, but if he had firmly corrected Gong Xinyu with some discipline, perhaps Gong Zhuang would find Gong Dajiang’s words reasonable.

The issue was that throughout, there was only reprimand, leaving Gong Xinyu feeling defiant, while Gong Zhuang sighed, realizing his father still favored Gong Xinyu. In the future, if there is some advantage to be gained, he’ll go for it, but as for buying things for the two elders, Gong Zhuang has his doubts.
