Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 914 - 916: Dying of Rage

Watching Gong Qiang constantly tell Gong Zheng how to educate women, Gong Ruini rolled her eyes.

A worthless person who relies on his parents and siblings for everything, and yet he has the nerve to say such things. Really, how thick-skinned can he be?

Gong Zheng was really getting infuriated by this good-for-nothing. "Don’t interfere with me."

"If you have the guts, go deal with your son."

"Do you really think that as the eldest son, you can discipline us?"

A worthless person who can’t even handle a gatekeeper job properly, only works as a janitor in the factory—do you think you’re qualified to discipline us?"

"Don’t think just because Mom and Dad treat you like a treasure, we’ll do the same for you. You should take a good look in the mirror."

"And how I treat my wife is my own business, not yours."

"As for the house, the division will be according to the agreement signed back then."

"I’m an uncle and I’m married, but that has nothing to do with Gong Xiaoyu, right? I can’t refrain from getting married just because of a hooligan nephew."

"If you don’t have any skills, don’t dream about having a grandson. I reckon you’re dreaming if you expect Gong Xiaoyu to get married and have children."

Gong Zheng took advantage while Gong Qiang got confused and pushed Gong Qiang away.

Wow, that hypocrite Gong Zheng actually exploded like this. It’s not easy. Gong Zhuang and Gong Tao exchanged glances, then looked at Zhang Lan.

Even if they verbally attacked Gong Qiang and his son, the old lady would be upset but not furious, unlike when it’s Gong Zheng doing it. This is stabbing the old lady in the chest.

Gong Qiang was outraged, "Is this the attitude a younger brother should have?"

"Is this the attitude an uncle should have?"

"And he’s still hoping for the house? I spit at him." Gong Qiang was fuming.

"He hasn’t sent a single penny back in all these years..." Gong Qiang pulled Gong Tao aside to tell him how overboard Gong Zheng had gone.

Gong Tao and the others just listened without speaking. Right now, it’s Gong Zheng and Gong Qiang who are unwilling to let go of the old house for their own reasons, so let them fight it out.

Dai Lixia also fell into thought. If Gong Xiaoyu were to marry at home, it would be an absolute disaster.

If possible, let Gong Xiaoyu undergo re-education. Without him and Zhang Lan in the family, Dai Lixia was confident she could handle Gong Qiang.

The arguments were so intense, they almost infuriated Zhang Lan to death—she was more taking in breath than letting it out.

"Oh, Grandma." Having listened for a long time, Gong Ruini also felt bored, hearing the same two sentences over and over. When she turned to observe Zhang Lan’s reaction, she realized something was amiss.

Ah, Dai Lixia also snapped back to reality, "Mom, Mom."

Gong Qiang couldn’t be bothered to complain now, he was extremely nervous, couldn’t let anything happen to the old lady, "Mom, Mom."

But no matter how he shouted, there was no response from Zhang Lan.

Gong Qiang panicked, "How are you taking care of Mom?" Desperate to loudly scold Dai Lixia.

"I was just annoyed by Gong Zheng." Dai Lixia obviously couldn’t admit she had been distracted, she pushed all the blame onto Gong Zheng.

Claiming Gong Tao and Gong Zhuang are bad? They wouldn’t fight over the house, but Gong Zheng would.

"Exactly, it’s Gong Zheng. How could he not make Mom angry when he said those things?" Gong Qiang, although he didn’t want to see Zhang Lan pass away, had to consider how to handle things afterward if the old lady did go.

The best solution was to get Gong Zheng out of the picture. "I’ll go get the doctor, Gong Zheng is too much." Gong Qiang went to call the doctor, cursing Gong Zheng in the process.

Wow, could she really have been scared to death? Gong Ruini was truly dizzy. Zhang Lan had become bedridden due to being angered by Gong Zheng, and if she’s now dead from fury, tsk tsk tsk. Gong Zheng would have to take the blame, whether he wanted to or not.

Gong Ruini stood quietly on the sidelines, but to act like a devoted granddaughter and burst into tears? She honestly felt no emotion, and certainly couldn’t summon any wails.

It was at this point that Gong Jiaxin handed over a handkerchief, signaling Gong Ruini to accept it.

Gong Ruini thought it was a gesture to play pretend, so she took it and wiped her eyes.

As soon as she wiped, it wasn’t good—small ginger slices were unexpectedly hidden inside, and Gong Ruini suddenly felt the need to cry.

Oh dear, this was a bit ruthless, Gong Ruini really wanted to curse. Although this method was clever, shouldn’t there have been warning? Not realizing it could scare someone half to death.

Unknown if Zhang Lan hasn’t actually passed away, but in case her crying seemed over-the-top fake.

As Gong Ruini grappled with conflicting emotions, Gong Qiang returned with the doctor, who conducted an examination then shook his head at Gong Qiang, indicating there was no hope.

Gong Qiang stepped back a few paces, although he was prepared, and previously found Zhang Lan terribly vexing with daily care so annoying, but the sudden news of the old lady’s demise made him cry.

Dai Lixia cried too, cried very sadly. With the old lady gone, the household would lose a source of income. How would they ever manage in the future?

Gong Tao looked at the lifeless Zhang Lan, tears flowed down his cheeks, he had hoped and hated before, thought he wouldn’t feel anything over her affairs, yet at this moment, he still cried.

Gong Zhuang cried too, but his tears were accompanied by a sense of relief.

"Mom."

"Grandma."

No matter how everyone truly felt, they all wailed aloud, and Gong Ruini also breathed a sigh of relief, at least not worried about being disrespectful.

"Alright, enough crying, let’s take Mom back." After crying for a bit, Gong Zhuang began to arrange things.

It wasn’t that Gong Zhuang wanted to steal the spotlight, but Gong Qiang was deeply grieving at the moment, showing no signs of handling matters, leaving him no choice but to step forward.

"Sister-in-law, funerary arrangements for Mom?"

"I’ve brought clothes." Dai Lixia wiped her tears, pulled out clothes from the nearby cabinet, "I was prepared just in case, hoping not to use them."

"Alright then, get her dressed and let’s take Mom back." Gong Zhuang nudged Gong Qiang, "Big brother, let’s head back and take care of things."

This part can be handled but the house has no arrangements, can’t return to utter chaos, right?

What, go back to handle things? What does Gong Zheng know? He looked to Dai Lixia, reluctantly asking her to accompany them home. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Alas, Gong Zhuang really didn’t know what to say, completely ignorant, everything had to be asked of Dai Lixia. If this sister-in-law doesn’t have ill intentions, fine, but if she does, could Gong Qiang withstand her?

But this was none of his concern. If living became impossible, weren’t there sons and daughters available? He couldn’t be the younger brother shouldering the elder brother’s end-of-life responsibilities, right?

Gong Qiang stood on the side crying over something truly grief-inducing—like the sky collapsing, he genuinely felt lost on what to do.

"All you do is cry." Gong Ruzhi sneered, "Not even helping out one bit."

"Don’t speak." Gong Ruini signaled her brother to be quiet, "Later when we get home, just stay silent."

"Anyway, you must follow us back." Even Gong Xiaoyu would threaten and extort from Gong Zhuang, maybe he’ll go erratic realizing his backing is gone.
