Chapter 314: Chapter 314

With money and food stamps in hand, Gong Tao of course wasn’t worried at all and took Gong Ruini and the others out to eat something delicious.

"This shop’s braised pork knuckle is great; we even used to buy it sometimes during the holidays," Gong Tao said to Gong Ruini before they arrived at the place, already telling her about the restaurant’s signature dish.

Braised pork knuckle? Gong Ruini hadn’t had a decent meal of well-cooked meat for days and was really craving meat. Hearing Gong Tao’s mention, she suddenly felt incredibly hungry, and her stomach started growling loudly.

Gong Ruini didn’t remember if she’d ever had it, but Gong Ruwen did, "Dad bought it once, but that time it got snatched away by grandma and them." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel※fire.net

What? No way, so this "occasionally" meant only once, huh? Gong Ruini was stunned, no wonder the original owner had no memory of this shop.

The problem is, it was just this once, and she didn’t get to eat it, "Dad, this time it’s not going to be given away to others, right?"

Gong Ruini was worried that their chance to eat meat would fall through again, not because she was overly suspicious, but she just felt a bit uneasy.

Give it away? "To whom?" Gong Ruwen wanted to say that their father wasn’t the same as before; he would fight for good food for them siblings.

To whom? Who else? "What if someone spreads the news back?" These days eating meat is a luxury, especially for their family, in many people’s eyes, they are down and out, unlikely to eat meat.

If suddenly people see their family of four eating so well at a restaurant, even if they had a bit of sympathy before, they wouldn’t hesitate to take away this bowl of braised pork knuckle.

"Let them spread whatever they want, it’s the money we earned, why can’t we keep it? It’s not like they don’t eat meat," Gong Tao said indifferently, "After all, I can’t eat some good food when I return?"

"If they whine about it, let them whine, whoever feels like eating can come and buy it themselves." The only one who would clamor for meat in the Gong family, apart from the kid Gong Xiaoyu, could be no one else.

"His grandma dotes on him, otherwise how could he live such a good life without a job?" Thinking about this kid who doesn’t go to school and hangs out all day, if no one backed him up, could his days be so smooth?

From afar, Gong Xiaoyu saw Gong Tao’s family, and of course, he quickly dodged. He remembered that this kind second uncle had gone to the Northeast to become a farmer, definitely a pauper, since he was a pauper, why bother greeting him.

Just when Gong Xiaoyu was about to dodge, he saw his second uncle actually heading to a restaurant with people to eat, "Is this the rhythm of striking it rich?"

Gong Xiaoyu was puzzled; didn’t they say he had no money? If truly without money, shouldn’t it be impossible to enter this place to eat?

Gong Xiaoyu was truly flustered, hmph, it must be that second uncle was deliberately pretending to be poor before.

The more Gong Xiaoyu thought about it, the more he felt that such a good opportunity couldn’t be missed, there was no reason for them to eat at a restaurant without inviting him.

Hmph, if they don’t invite him, then when he gets back, he’ll surely complain well, watch how grandma disciplines him.

Thinking of this, Gong Xiaoyu steadied himself and swaggered out, "Second Uncle, where are you all going to eat?"

When Gong Tao heard the voice, his first reaction was that it sounded familiar, but he couldn’t recall who it was. When he turned to look, he cursed in his heart, how did he run into him.

Gong Ruwen had been drooling all the way, just waiting to eat delicious braised pork knuckle, but didn’t expect to meet such a character just as they reached the restaurant’s door, really not an average level of bad luck.

"Our braised pork knuckle is gone." Hmph, even if he can’t eat it, he won’t let Gong Xiaoyu eat it.

Gone? Gong Ruini looked at Gong Ruwen in confusion, hadn’t they not gone inside yet? How could today’s braised pork knuckle be gone?

"Gong Xiaoyu," Gong Ruwen whispered.

No way, Gong Ruini gasped, how could they run into such a character.

"It’s okay, at least better than going in to order and then finding out," Gong Ruini kept comforting Gong Ruwen, since it had already happened, they could only try to look on the bright side.

Yeah, that’s the logic, but Gong Ruwen still felt all kinds of resentment, "That person is the most excessive."

Seeing it was Gong Xiaoyu, Gong Tao’s smile faded a bit, "Xiao Yu, did you just get out of school?"

Eh, Gong Xiaoyu was dumbfounded; shouldn’t he know he’s not going to school? Why ask that way.

"Second Uncle, I’ve stopped attending school." For the sake of food, Gong Xiaoyu said he had to endure.

Gong Tao uttered an "oh," "So, did you just get off work then?"

Work what? Thinking of this, Gong Xiaoyu was filled with anger, "Second Uncle, don’t you know..."

Gong Xiaoyu rattled off what Gong Zhuang had done, "Second Uncle, isn’t Third Uncle way too excessive."

"I’m curious, why get connections through your Third Uncle’s money, shouldn’t your dad be the one paying?" Gong Tao didn’t comment on right or wrong.

He just allied with Gong Zhuang, there was no need to strain relations over a few words.

"My dad, my dad doesn’t have money, does he?" discussing Third Uncle’s matters, how did it come to his dad, Gong Xiaoyu panicked, "If not him..."

Gong Tao signaled Gong Xiaoyu not to continue, "If your dad doesn’t have money, then there is no need to get connections."

"Your Third Uncle doesn’t owe you, so it’s normal for him not to pay for you, you’re just a nephew, not a son," Gong Tao said sternly.

"Have you never thought about whether your dad really has no money or pretends to have none?" What a foolish kid, Gong Tao looked at Gong Xiaoyu with eyes that said, "How can you be so silly?"

Right, how could his dad have no money, he has money for the uncle but none for him, Gong Xiaoyu was furious.

"If it weren’t for your uncle, I think your parents do have money," Gong Tao sighed, "Your Third Uncle is also angry, your parents aren’t penniless, if it weren’t your uncle, if your family really had no money, your Third Uncle wouldn’t necessarily not pay for it, but previously, alas."

Indeed, if he were in the same situation, he wouldn’t pay either, Gong Xiaoyu was stunned, previously he always thought Third Uncle was too much, and now that he thought about it, his own parents weren’t right, "Second Uncle, you all were going to the restaurant."

This could be considered later, first resolve dinner.

"No, I don’t have money, and your house has nothing for us to eat, so we’re planning to buy a few buns and go back," Gong Tao surely wouldn’t take Gong Xiaoyu to the restaurant, this guy would definitely devour the meat dishes clean.

Have buns? Ugh, Gong Xiaoyu wasn’t pleased, "Second Uncle, then I’ll go back and eat."

Gong Tao waved his hand and continued leading Gong Ruini and the others forward.

Gong Xiaoyu felt his second uncle was definitely bluffing him, but after following them for a distance found that second uncle indeed bought only some buns and went back.

What a mishap, should’ve known he’s a pauper, why bother staring, Gong Xiaoyu regretted all sorts.

He quickened his pace to go home and eat, his stomach protesting all the while, if he didn’t hurry, who knew if there’d be any meal left for him.

Their family was increasingly pitiful, hmph, all because of that meddling uncle, if it weren’t for that good-for-nothing, would his life be ? Gong Xiaoyu even resented the Dong family.
