Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 933 - 935: Wife Equals Maid

Gong Qiang saw just a few vegetables being brought in, he was genuinely unhappy, his face drooping.

Especially seeing only four bottles of wine, he completely lost the desire to speak.

Gong Xiaoyu peeked over, initially wanted to mock the scant items, but turned his head to see Gong Ruzhi smiling at him, with a gentle smile.

This made Gong Xiaoyu’s body tremble, he still remembers the feeling back then, and he shut his mouth without speaking.

Gong Zheng yawned as he swaggered downstairs, looked around, "Third brother, so many of us, just this little bit of stuff."

"I brought stuff from two families, what did you buy?" Those truly bold enough to nitpick like this got a response from Gong Zhuang, of course.

"If you think it’s too little, I can go home for New Year." As if he’d actually want to spend New Year with them.

Gong Jiaming was just waiting for this sentence; hearing his dad speak like this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves ready to get to work.

"Third brother, your temper is something else now." Gong Zheng truly didn’t expect Gong Zhuang would flip like this, previously only the eldest brother would do such a thing.

"Why should my temper be good, I’ve already brought stuff, yet there’s someone constantly nagging, why should I put up with it?" Gong Zhuang retorted unceremoniously, demanding respect.

"By the way, the things were bought by me and second brother together, sorting them out is your two families’ business, can’t expect us to help." Gong Zhuang didn’t want his wife and the second brother’s wife to cook for this group, how tiring that would be.

Ah, so many things not to do, although Gong Zheng doesn’t want to cook, he also has to stand up for his wife somewhat, since she’s already unhappy because of the Gong Mingrui matter.

"What, don’t want to?" Gong Zhuang’s tone rose, "Keep moving stuff."

This was indeed a threat, Gong Zheng really didn’t understand why Gong Zhuang had become so difficult now, always being hard to deal with.

Gong Zheng considered his status and kept silent, but Gong Qiang couldn’t stay silent, otherwise, if the stuff got taken away, wouldn’t New Year be a bleak affair?

"Can’t let the women exert themselves, Fourth, go call your wife down to help." Gong Qiang aimed his gun at Gong Zheng’s wife, Mo Litong.

Gong Qiang didn’t know how many times he’d heard his wife complain that Mo Litong does nothing, always just eats ready-made meals.

"She’s still asleep." Gong Zheng grudgingly replied, not happy with how Gong Qiang was sucking up to Gong Zhuang like this.

"Then she shouldn’t eat, really thinks she’s somebody that needs to be catered for, as if she’s someone important."

"Either your wife works or you work, or you go buy New Year’s Eve dinner for the three of you." Gong Qiang wasn’t too protective of Dai Lixia either.

But he wouldn’t let Gong Zheng’s family off the hook, "You sort it out yourself."

Sort it out, how to sort it out, apart from waking Mo Litong up, there’s no other way, going out to buy food, he’s not willing, going out to buy vegetables at this hour would cost a fortune.

Mo Litong was really fuming, sitting on the bed complaining non-stop.

Gong Zheng looked at Mo Litong cursing up a storm, really felt she was as unfamiliar as possible, he truly didn’t understand why someone always so gentle would turn like this.

"If you’re not working, then go buy food for New Year’s Eve dinner."

"Can’t you work instead?" Mo Litong retorted angrily.

"Me work, fine." Gong Zheng didn’t bicker with Mo Litong much more; if he’s really working this time, then returning to Yangcheng, such a mannish commanding wife can get laid off, he can’t afford to support a wife who bosses men around.

Mo Litong was furious, but it didn’t mean her intelligence was offline, "Of course I have to work, I’m just angry for constantly being stared at."

"I’m the new wife, shouldn’t I not be expected to work?" Mo Litong looked aggrieved, "They’re looking down on me."

No need to say more, of course Gong Zheng understood.

Gong Zheng certainly understood, but precisely because he understood, he could only clench his teeth and accept, "In the future, we won’t come here for New Year."

If he can’t make something of himself, he won’t come back here to be humiliated, plus here is really cold, much colder than Yangcheng.

Won’t come back in the future? Mo Litong liked this; heaven knows the past few days had really pissed her off, if the money spent these days could prevent Gong Mingrui from causing trouble again, Mo Litong felt it was worth it.

Even if she had to deal with a bunch of ingredients, Mo Litong could be heard humming songs, which really startled everyone; each was puzzled if something had happened to her.

"Brainwashed?" Just now, Dai Lixia had been pulling Cai Meina and Miao Cuihua to rant extensively, Gong Ruini and the others heard it all.

"Washed or not, doesn’t matter, isn’t it good that someone’s willing to work?" Gong Ruini was originally worried she’d have to step up to prepare New Year’s Eve dinner, didn’t expect Gong Qiang to assert himself aggressively in the end.

Gong Qiang’s assertiveness resulted in Dai Lixia’s mood being good, but Gong Ruini still feels her status is low; even according to Zhang Lan, this daughter-in-law is quite bad, not treating her well, yet Gong Qiang’s family also doesn’t treat her particularly well.

Can Dai Lixia truly be expected to be sincere to them?

"But today’s food won’t be too good." Gong Ruwen’s cooking skills aren’t great; though he did go to the kitchen to help before, he can make simple dishes, but he doesn’t have high hopes for today’s New Year’s Eve dinner.

"Reluctant to use good ingredients."

"Also lacking skill."

Gong Ruini could only say Gong Ruwen is used to gourmet food and looks down on this; if Dai Lixia had good cooking skills, would she still stay in this poor household? She would’ve gone out to work and earn her own living long ago.

Gong Ruzhi couldn’t take it, just the sight and taste of the recently made dishes left him with no appetite, "Sis, I want to go home."

Cai Meina sees her son and the others expressing dissatisfaction with today’s meal, what can she do but go to the kitchen to offer some guidance.

Mo Litong, although wanting to make a good impression, really doesn’t enjoy being busy in the kitchen all day; plus, she didn’t sleep well early today and has been at it for a long time, already exhausted.

Seeing Cai Meina come over to help, she of course retreated quickly, leaving Dai Lixia to busy herself in the kitchen. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Dai Lixia originally wanted to say Cai Meina perhaps doesn’t trust her, feels the need to supervise, but...

With just a few pointers, she’s greatly benefited, and immediately began seriously asking for advice; she really isn’t dumb, previously not going out to work was because she thought she had to take care of Zhang Lan.

Now that Zhang Lan has passed, losing an income stream, not to mention Gong Xiaoyu and them, even Gong Qiang won’t let her stay home doing nothing, not earning money.

Dai Lixia is worried, worried about what she can do outside, doesn’t need to earn much, but at least enough to support herself and send some back to family.

If she can improve her cooking skills somewhat, finding work as a kitchen assistant or working as a maid wouldn’t be hard.

With someone asking for guidance, Cai Meina gladly offered advice; although she looks down on Gong Qiang, unsure who Dai Lixia really is, she remembers her past, so she naturally shared her tips.

"Reminds me of the past," Gong Ruwen watching outside the kitchen commented seeing Cai Meina earnestly advising.

The past? Gong Ruini paused, then understood; Dai Lixia should be worse off than Cai Meina, at least Cai Meina has Gong Tao in support occasionally, yet Dai Lixia has nothing, just serving as a maid in name here.
