Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 751 - 753 Gender Equality

Gong Ruwen was panting after a snowball fight and was just about to find a place to rest when Gong Tao called him over for a talk.

Gong Ruini had noticed this scene for a while, but since the old man didn’t call her for a conversation, she pretended not to know. After all, her elder brother would tell her later.

After a short while, Gong Ruwen came over to Gong Ruini with a solemn expression.

Gong Ruini was quite startled by Gong Ruwen’s expression. What’s going on? Could it be that Gong Tao caught her elder brother for a session of loving education?

Just as she was about to ask, she heard, "Dad said from today onward, Xiao Zhi will follow me, including at night." Gong Ruwen really didn’t know why his own father had this idea.

What? Isn’t Xiao Zhi always with Mom and Dad? Why the sudden change of thought? Gong Ruini didn’t understand.

No, it’s strange. To know Cai Meina treats this child born in her later years as a treasure. Ever since Xiao Zhi was born, he’s been the one she personally raised. How could she bear to let him go?

"Mom is probably unwilling to part with him." Gong Ruwen exhaled deeply.

These days, although Cai Meina masked it well, they weren’t foolish kids. How could they not feel it? They just didn’t want to say or talk about it.

If it were other children, they might feel imbalance and upset, but for Gong Ruwen and them, they have more important things to do and don’t have the time or willingness to fuss over trivial matters like this.

"Brother, are you a bit upset?" Gong Ruini asked cautiously. Rather than worrying about the shameless Gong Ruzhi, she cared more about the brother who has been lovingly supporting her ever since she came.

Upset? Maybe a bit, but he has his sister. "Ni Zi, you said we should focus on the future, not this small plot of land here."

"Compared to our little brother, we’ve actually gained quite a lot."

"We work hard to earn money. If Mom and Dad want to leave their money to our little brother, then let them. As long as he doesn’t grow up to be like our uncle, that’s fine." Gong Ruwen has been upset before, but he has counselors by his side to open his eyes and enlighten him.

"If Xiao Zhi can maintain and preserve, that’s also good." Although Gong Ruwen is a very composed person, having worked hard under Zhao Xu for many years, he is full of confidence in himself.

"Ni Zi, we will definitely succeed, right?" Even if parents favor their child, what of it? Gong Ruwen isn’t worried, "As long as we don’t think too much, the relationship won’t become bad."

"Rest assured, I think our little brother won’t become spoiled." Gong Ruini could understand why Cai Meina would think that way, but if the money Gong Ruwen and she earn was to be given to the family, maybe their mom wouldn’t insist on favoring Xiao Zhi.

But letting Gong Ruini give all her resources to Cai Meina, she’s indeed reluctant. Rather let Cai Meina compensate a little more, it’s still in the Gong Family’s hands anyway.

Zhao Xuran, having listened for a while from the side, finally left contentedly with his hands behind his back, followed quickly by Zhao Guangran.

"Brother, did you persuade Brother Ruwen?" Surely it was his elder brother discussing with Gong Ruwen for a long time, otherwise could his brain think of so much?

However, Zhao Guangran quite admired Gong Ruwen, "If it were me, I might not have understood clearly."

"So that is the difference between you and him." Zhao Guangran is not lacking in money, but this younger brother desperately needs affection and care. Any hint of unfairness, he’ll feel mistreated.

Well, Zhao Guangran stopped talking, continuing further would make it his fault, "But I feel it’s a pity for Brother Ruwen, being the eldest and just giving up like that."

Zhao Guangran really didn’t understand why Gong Ruwen could think so clearly. If Gong Ruini said to give up, that would be normal, after all, she’s a girl, but Gong Ruwen is the eldest.

"The more you’re the eldest, the more responsibility you carry."

"Including preventing the younger siblings from fighting." Zhao Xuran was partly advertising himself, partly explaining to Zhao Guangran, "Actually, we’re really enjoying many benefits. Earning money is quite easy now."

Zhao Guangran bowed his head pondering what his elder brother said, though it wasn’t stated with severity, Zhao Guangran wasn’t foolish enough to think his brother was simply speaking casually. There certainly was deeper meaning.

After Zhao Xuran and they left, two people emerged from behind the house, "Relieved, right?" Gong Tao knew his children wouldn’t disappoint him.

Gong Zhuang looked at the nephews who continued playing in the yard, feeling empathetic, "Second Brother, if we all thought as clearly as Xiao Wen and them, perhaps it wouldn’t be like this."

Gong Zhuang had never really thought much before; he always felt the parents were too partial, causing the current family situation.

But just now, he was awakened by Gong Ruwen’s words. Yes, parents can be biased, but as long as the younger generation understands it and doesn’t insist on fighting, it wouldn’t be like this.

Gong Zheng dared not and wouldn’t consider this possibility because he knew, "We wouldn’t want Xiao Wen and them to contribute too much for Xiao Zhi, but do you think Mom and Dad won’t make demands?"

Silently, here lies the critical issue, Gong Zhuang took a deep breath, "Exactly, when parents make various demands you don’t want, even the best mindset can’t handle it."

Thinking about Zhang Lan, who couldn’t give orders even while bedridden, "If she were clear-minded seeing me like this, she would definitely send me to do Gong Xiaoyu’s work."

"And then make me bear the expenses for this Gong Family eldest grandson’s wedding." Gong Zhuang truly felt relieved; fortunately, Zhang Lan had already had a stroke, otherwise, he would have gone crazy, not knowing what to do.

"Second Brother, you might want to keep an eye on Second Sister-in-law, sometimes favoritism starts step by step." Gong Zhuang warned, initially Zhang Lan wasn’t that biased, but only when she saw someone constantly backing down.

"Your Second Sister-in-law has a sense of propriety, she won’t be biased like that. She’s just worried that Xiao Zhi won’t have much assets in the future. Actually, even if split equally among the three children, Xiao Zhi would have quite a bit."

Perhaps compared to Gong Ruwen and them, the younger son doesn’t have much, but there are plenty outside who have even less assets. Gong Tao feels Xiao Zhi is quite lucky to receive so much without any contribution.

Divided into three parts? One part for Gong Ruini? No way, Gong Zhuang was stunned.

Always knowing Gong Tao liked Gong Ruini, he had thought at most when Ni Zi marries, give her a generous dowry. Never expected it’d be divided into three parts, daughters become outsiders eventually, Gong Zhuang really didn’t understand.

"Even if she’s a daughter, she’s still our child, when we’re old maybe we’ll have to rely on her." Gong Tao understands people still hope to leave family assets as security.

But seriously calculating, much of the family assets were earned by Gong Ruwen siblings after working hard behind, why demand daughters to work hard but exclude them during reward, who’d be happy with that?

"Moreover, good sibling relationships lead to united efforts."

Gong Zhuang kept muttering Gong Tao’s words, Second Brother’s reasoning sounded valid, but does it apply to him?
