Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 168 - 167 Drive People Away (670+ monthly tickets)

And Old Lady Gao, although she favored her grandsons and sons, was still fair. The two children she bore were not necessarily favored by her; anyway, Zheng Xianghong would never allow her offspring to live with Old Lady Gao.

"Little auntie, how much money do you want from my family?" Gao Jiaxing walked out of the room, digging at his ear, as he couldn’t listen anymore. If he could, he would have swept Lin Xuebi out with a broom, but Gao Jiaxing still held back his anger and asked.

Lin Xuebi, thinking Gao Jiaxing was interested in the old house, said, "It doesn’t need to be much, just two hundred yuan."

"Ptui!" Zheng Xianghong couldn’t hold back her cursing, "When you first made us move out, what did you say? You wanted the old house to take care of the old lady. Over the years, whenever you borrowed money it was always a demand, and you never returned any. We let it go, but Lin Xuebi, you shameless thing, do you think that by putting up with you all these years we are afraid of you? I’ve just been trying not to make things difficult for Guoqiang."

"Sister-in-law, why are you being so unreasonable? I was just trying to be kind..."

"Ptui, keep your kindness to yourself. I’d rather build my own house with my own two hundred yuan. I so wish," Zheng Xianghong spat out angrily, adding, "Sure enough, a landlord’s daughter is cunning and calculated. Really thought you were smart and everyone else fools? Get lost now."

Lin Xuebi was fuming, her face red with anger as she snapped back at Zheng Xianghong, "A daughter married off is like water thrown out. I married into the Gao family, and now I am one of the Gao family. Don’t bring up the past."

"Little auntie, please don’t worry about our family matters. The old house is yours, and we won’t take advantage of you. In the future, my brother and I, even if we just build a shack outside to live in with our wives and children, will not compete with you for the old house."

Now, Gao Jiaxing didn’t want his mother to continue arguing with Lin Xuebi. It would be best if the residents of the old house moved to the city. Old Lady Gao would listen to his little uncle and cousin, but not to them. Gao Jiaxing didn’t hope for the residents of the old house to leave, burdening them with Old Lady Gao’s care in the village, which could become troublesome if she started causing problems.

"The old lady is also your mother, and caring for her isn’t just our room’s responsibility," Lin Xuebi suddenly forgot her previous position, only thinking about how to foist Old Lady Gao onto Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong. They certainly weren’t willing to take Old Lady Gao to live in the city. freёnovelkiss-com

Furthermore, Lin Xuebi, having come from a family with a bad social class as a landlord’s daughter, found that it wasn’t something honorable in the current times. Therefore, after marrying into the family and because Old Lady Gao was a formidable person, Lin Xuebi, who had been acting coy and fawning for years, had long wanted to push Old Lady Gao away.

Without Old Lady Gao, Lin Xuebi could finally exercise authority, having her son and husband under her thumb, while with Old Lady Gao around, she still felt repressed. How could Lin Xuebi be content with that?

Gao Jiaxing said, "Little auntie, I’m sure Grandma doesn’t know yet. This matter still needs to be discussed in front of Grandma."

Lin Xuebi hurriedly said, "She will know. Take your time to consider it; you don’t have to give the two hundred yuan either."

Lin Xuebi walked away after saying this.

Zheng Xianghong was absolutely furious, "How can someone be so shamelessly brazen?"

"You’re not just finding out now," Gao Jiaxing responded, furrowing his brows and adding, "They just moved to the city and already managed to get a house there, which doesn’t sound reliable at all. Plus, their whole family is moving to the city; are they planning on getting temporary work at the factories?"

With Gao Jiaxing’s words, Zheng Xianghong felt the same and nodded in agreement, "Yeah, they must be aiming to work in the factories. But what exactly are Jianmin and Jianhua doing in the city, with everything being so chaotic and the strict inspections, they better not bring trouble back home."

Gao Guoqiang, who was about to head to the team office, also ran into Gao Guofu, who had specifically come to find him.

"Brother," Gao Guofu called out to Gao Guoqiang from afar.

After Lin Xuebi stormed home, unable to get her way with Zheng Xianghong, she sent Gao Guofu to talk to Gao Guoqiang. Zheng Xianghong and Old Lady Gao had a bad relationship, but Gao Guoqiang was filial and surely couldn’t just ignore his own mother.

As soon as Gao Guofu spoke, Gao Guoqiang frowned deeply, "Where did you get the house, and how did you manage it? And aren’t you quitting your work at the production team to go to the city?"

Gao Guofu smiled and said, "Brother, we are still young. We didn’t have the chance before, but now that there’s one, if we could get to the city and find some temporary work in the factories, that would be great. And since the kids have also managed to get a house in the city, we’ll just move there. Just find some work to do. Why should I worry about all this, nothing will go wrong, with Jianhua’s father-in-law and mother-in-law keeping an eye on things. But since the whole family is going to work in the city, you have to take care of mom a bit, big brother."

Gao Guoqiang said, "Talking to me won’t help, you need to speak with Mom. If she’s unwilling, speaking to me is pointless."

Gao Guofu immediately looked distressed, "Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to take care of Mom, but you’ve seen what she’s like... and it’s very strict outside right now."

"Your sister-in-law and mom don’t get along, and they can’t live together," Gao Guoqiang shook his head. Now his brother wanted to dump Mother onto him, but Gao Guoqiang was not foolish.

"Sister-in-law doesn’t have to come to the old house. When Jiazhi or Jiaxing gets married, they could move in and take care of Mom, which would be enough. Mom doesn’t go out much from the old house anyway, as long as she has something to eat, everything will be well managed," Gao Guofu explained, then added, "Once Xuebi leaves, sister-in-law could cook in the canteen, making her work a bit lighter."

Gao Guoqiang waved his hand, "It’s useless to talk to me about this. Maybe we should all sit down and have a good talk. You can’t expect me to take on everything just because you want it. Guofu, I’ve watched you grow up, and even though I saw you less during those years I was in the army, I’m grateful you took care of Mom at home. But I’m part of a family with your sister-in-law, and we’re inseparable. Mom won’t eat the food your sister-in-law cooks, and if we started cooking at home while Mother goes to eat in the canteen, would that be right? And you even suggested your sister-in-law cook in the canteen, would Mom even want to eat that?"

"Brother," Gao Guofu attempted to interject, but Gao Guoqiang continued:

"When your sister-in-law cooked in the canteen in the past, Mom didn’t want to eat it, preferring to go hungry than to eat there, and that’s why she let your wife take over. You were the one who came to me back then, hoping your sister-in-law wouldn’t have to cook in the canteen, which is how the cooking duty at the canteen ended up being taken over by your wife."
