Chapter 169: Chapter 169
Zhang Lan sat angrily on the kang, she really didn’t understand what was going on.
Clearly, it was Gong Ruini bullying Zhao Guangran in various ways, how could being a mother not see the problem, really wondering how her brain worked.
Gong Dajiang stormed in angrily, "Alright, pack up, we’re going back."
Going back? Ah, what’s the meaning, Zhang Lan didn’t understand why the old man returned home in a huff and said to go back, obviously they hadn’t received the money, how could they go back.
"Not to worry about the ginseng?" Zhang Lan asked cautiously.
Better not mention the ginseng, mentioning it nearly made Gong Dajiang go berserk, "Don’t bring up the ginseng with me."
"If you hadn’t dawdled this morning, I wouldn’t have been late."
"The other side has already sold the ginseng." He had spent so much time, only to get intercepted by others in the end, how could Gong Dajiang not be furious.
What, the ginseng is gone? Zhang Lan was dumbfounded, she had been thinking of ways to have Gong Zheng pass such a good opportunity to Gong Qiang, now it’s over, not even worth thinking about, neither of them could have it.
"Didn’t he promise to keep it for us?" Zhang Lan was anxious, they spent so much money, in the end it’s all for nothing?
Zhang Lan was really unwilling, "If only Taozi and the others were willing to pay back then."
"They have no money." Gong Dajiang couldn’t help but shout, "Gong Qiang wasn’t willing to pay, why should Gong Tao pay."
"You pushed them to give you a few years’ worth of retirement money, do you think they’d still have much money."
"If you hadn’t pushed them to pay, maybe they’d have the money." The more Gong Dajiang thought about it, the more annoyed he got, if he hadn’t pushed Gong Tao to pay so much back then, the ginseng could have been secured immediately.
"You had so much money in your hands but didn’t bring it, you’re the one who cheated your two sons."
"You, always just shirking responsibility, alright, let’s go back." Even Gong Dajiang didn’t want to stay here, too exhausted.
Not to mention, Old Yuan’s gaze at him had a mocking expression, how could Gong Dajiang swallow this anger.
Going back? Zhang Lan wiped away tears, "We can’t go back, we haven’t bought the ginseng."
Zhang Lan didn’t want to go back to see her son’s disappointed expression, Qiangzi had already given so much, why not give him a good outcome.
Buying ginseng? Still not giving up, what’s the use of not giving up now, "In a year, only a few ginseng can be harvested, do you think they’re radishes?"
"If you want to stay here, then you stay here, I’m leaving." Gong Dajiang packed his belongings, ignoring whether Zhang Lan was leaving.
The old man insisted on leaving, Zhang Lan was in a panic spinning around, she didn’t know how to contact those who picked ginseng, and if the old man wasn’t here, would Gong Tao treat her well?
Thinking of the various abuses faced by Gong Tao’s couple, Zhang Lan couldn’t bear it, "I’m going back too."
"Xiao Yu will miss me." Haven’t seen her grandson these days, Zhang Lan was filled with longing.
"Also, remember to take our rice with us." Zhang Lan wouldn’t leave anything here for the ingrates to eat.
"Why take rice back." Gong Dajiang never thought of taking the rice back, what would Gong Tao and the others think when they see it.
Moreover, just in case there’s another chance for promotion requiring ginseng in the future, they could write to Gong Tao for help with purchasing, if things were done too thoroughly this time, would there be a future?
Gong Dajiang thought well, but couldn’t overcome having a teammate like Zhang Lan dragging him down, she was stirring up trouble wanting to take the rice back.
Watching the disruptive Zhang Lan, Gong Dajiang felt itchy in his hands, gesturing several times before finally suppressing Zhang Lan.
Seeing Zhang Lan quiet down, Gong Dajiang explained the reason for leaving the rice, Zhang Lan wasn’t unaware of Gong Dajiang’s reasoning, but she saw Gong Tao’s couple as ingrates, giving them things was wasteful.
"Regardless, they are our children."
"Stepping back, we previously ate their food, don’t say because he’s the son it’s what he should do."
"Consider how many meals you could eat at the third brother’s place."
Gong Dajiang worried Zhang Lan would erupt in anger without showing a good face upon seeing Gong Tao, and could only keep reasoning.
What could Zhang Lan do, the old man had already decided, "I understand." Luckily the old man didn’t buy much rice, otherwise, she’d be heartbroken.
Zhang Lan was actually expecting, wondering if Gong Tao would offer some things for them to take back after knowing the rice was left for them.
Zhang Lan calculated what items could be taken back, only to find Gong Tao hadn’t forgotten to put the bag of rice on the cart.
"This rice?" Seeing her son loading up the rice they had left, Gong Dajiang really wanted to throw this bag back.
"Dad, you bought it, I saw you forgot it." Humph, just a bit of rice, we’re not, why owe such a favor.
"Alright, let’s go, oh, right, dad and mom, remember to send a telegram for money not to be sent over." Although that hope is hardly there, a notification is still necessary.
Gong Ruwen didn’t expect Old Yuan to handle things this way, nor did he expect Gong Dajiang to be so fragile.
Gong Ruini stood honestly at the door, continually waving to the couple on the ox cart, finally these blights were leaving, delaying too much if they stayed longer.
"Grandpa and grandma, goodbye." Official source ıs novęlfire.net
Hearing Gong Ruini’s voice, Zhang Lan had another thought, "Ni Zi, want to go back with grandma?"
Humph, giving Gong Tao slight favors won’t work, better bring a hostage back.
Really? Not giving up yet, Gong Ruini quickly ran inside, "I’m not going, I want to be with mom and dad."
Gong Tao sped up to drive away, if not, would soon lose control to give a good scolding to his mother.
Really an impolite child, Zhang Lan constantly looked down on Gong Ruini, humph, opting to be a mud-legged girl, then be one, there will be times when they cry later.
"By the way, Taozi, you didn’t have anything for mom to take." Zhang Lan held a little expectation.
Bring something? Still dreaming, actively flattering the Zhao Family this morning, not missing an opportunity to belittle Ni Zi, really think they were good-natured people. "What things, can’t even have a meal."
"Mom, you can visit the supply and marketing co-op to see if there’s anything." Wanting things is easy, just go to the co-op, why should he give things.
Didn’t know some mountain products could be exchanged for money at the co-op? Giving it to Zhang Lan and them would only result in them continuously asking for things.
Going to the co-op to buy things, she couldn’t, but without a coupon, how to buy.
Spendthrift women, not thinking how much money they’ll spend to return, why insist on buying things, "Save, lost quite a bit this time going out."
Losing money? Saying that to him, it’s not him who made them come, "Can ask the eldest brother to give money."
Gong Tao expressed whoever comes should pay, dad suffered such grievance, upon returning would probably tighten the control on money, expecting at that time Gong Qiang would be very upset.
