Chapter 178: Chapter 178

The farce of the Gong Brothers spread uncontrollably,

Gong Qiang and Gong Zheng didn’t even think to cover it up; they both felt the other was being unreasonable.

Especially Gong Zheng, who was heartbroken because when they were young, their parents always said to listen to the elder brother, but looking at Gong Qiang now, is he a good big brother?

"You, why did you fight with him? He’s just a madman." Wu Rui carefully helped the man wipe his wounds, feeling furious towards Gong Qiang.

She had never seen such a brute. Recalling the time she was almost pushed by the bloodshot-eyed Gong Qiang, Wu Rui’s face turned pale with fear.

The thought of having to live under the same roof with such a madman made Wu Rui feel uneasy in every way.

"This can’t just end . We can’t keep living at my parents’ house." For now, it’s possible to stay here for a while, but it can’t last too long; the house is only so big and really uncomfortable to live in.

Gong Zheng tried hard to endure the pain from his wounds, "Don’t worry, I’ll make dad and mom give us an explanation."

"Big brother went too far, not only hitting me but even hitting you, a pregnant woman." Gong Zheng thought such a good opportunity couldn’t be missed.

Anyway, so many people were present and saw it happen, it wasn’t a false accusation against big brother.

Wu Rui also agreed, hmph, this time, even if the old lady wants to cover for the elder brother, she can’t go too far, right? Even if she doesn’t care about their face as a couple, she shouldn’t ignore the baby in the womb, should she?

Gong Zheng liked how sensible his wife was, much better than the sister-in-law who only knew how to make trouble.

"Some things still need dad to decide." Maybe the old man believes the house should be run by a woman, but once it involves a child, Gong Zheng believed the old man couldn’t ignore it.

"By then, we’ll apply to move out." Whether or not this time he can get a promotion, Gong Zheng knew that the possibility of applying for a house won’t be low.

Thinking of stepping on Gong Qiang’s shoulders to apply for a house made Gong Zheng feel all sorts of good.

Gong Zheng had studied it; their mother supported Gong Qiang so strongly not only because of Gong Xiaoyu but also because the elder brother had prospects and a future.

If the elder brother had no future, relying only on that brat Gong Xiaoyu, how long would their mother like him?

It wasn’t that Gong Zheng looked down on Gong Xiaoyu, but like his simple-minded sister-in-law, if he didn’t take action, once he did, trouble would come instantly.

Originally, Gong Zheng really didn’t want to fight with Gong Qiang over anything, but for a ginseng that hadn’t even been obtained, he went so hard; why, as a son of the Gong Family, should he give up everything for Gong Qiang to obtain it.

"By the way, Xiao Rui, do you still have money around you? Dad said he needs two hundred to get the ginseng." Whether that two hundred is to buy one or two ginsengs, Gong Zheng didn’t want to miss it.

What, two hundred? Wu Rui’s mouth opened wide in shock. After they got married and saved quite a bit, they still didn’t have that much money, "No."

Sigh, Gong Zheng certainly knew they didn’t have that much money as a couple. Actually, he hoped Wu Rui would take the initiative to say she would find a way with her parents, but his wife didn’t pick up on that, leaving him, a big man, at a loss for words.

Wu Rui wasn’t oblivious to the man’s intention, but there was no such money in her family, with brothers needing to study and money needed for the grandma.

Wu Rui could only pretend to be clueless.

Gong Qiang lay in bed groaning nonstop; he really didn’t expect Gong Zheng to make a move, and such a fierce one at that, "No, this grudge must be avenged."

"How much money is there at home?" Hmph, since Gong Zheng is after it, he can’t let him snatch away the ginseng, or else he’d lose face.

Even if he couldn’t get it himself, Gong Qiang wouldn’t let Gong Zheng get the ginseng.

Dong Li, who was taking care of Gong Qiang, trembled, "We can wire the money, but what if Gong Zheng acts before us?"

"He should have prepared this money long ago." Dong Li didn’t dare let Gong Qiang see her unease; recently, she was distressed over the man’s job issues, and she couldn’t imagine what life would be like if things got screwed up over money.

If Gong Zheng has prepared this money—yes, since that kid dared to write such a letter, it means he’d been planning it, "Hmph, he has money, I don’t? First thing tomorrow, go to the bank and withdraw the money."

Although Gong Qiang wasn’t always in charge of the family’s finances, he roughly knew the family’s savings situation. Feeling a bit reluctant but eventually bearing the cost, he comforted himself with thoughts of steadying his position, with salary, bonuses, and benefits going up, easing his heartache.

What, take out money tomorrow? Dong Li’s heart was pounding. Such a large amount, not to mention tomorrow morning, even given a week it would be impossible to prepare. What to do, what to do, Dong Li was anxious, pacing in circles.

His wife’s weird demeanor made the pained and angry Gong Qiang realize what’s going on, "Is there no money?"

Gong Qiang recalled hearing that something had happened to her elder brother, but because he was busy stabilizing his position, scheming against Gong Tao, and didn’t want to meddle in the Dong family’s mess, he didn’t care.

Could it be that her elder brother solved the problem with money, and that money likely came from his home?

Gong Qiang’s expression changed dramatically; he’d been sweet-talking Zhang Lan daily, thinking of swindling the money from her, but unexpectedly, his efforts ended up helping the Dong family financially, which made him so angry he could spit blood.

"Go, go bring the bankbook." No, he couldn’t rely on Dong Li anymore. The thought of the end result being Gong Zheng laughing in the end made Gong Qiang unable to hold back and gave a swift kick, "You traitor biting the hand that feeds you, what benefits did the Dong family give you?"

"Back then, you took so much money from my family, but during the wedding, didn’t you come empty-handed?"

"All these years haven’t sponsored your family enough, and now you’re even thinking of messing up my job."

"I’m telling you, no matter what, before 8 tomorrow morning, you must get me that amount of money, or watch how I stir up trouble at your Dong family."

If he couldn’t get the ginseng, he might face repeated downgrades in his position, but it’d be embarrassing anyway. Gong Qiang said he absolutely wouldn’t stop until he caused a ruckus at the Dong family.

Gong Qiang making a scene at the house, that couldn’t happen. Don’t be fooled by Gong Qiang’s cultured appearance; as his wife, Dong Li knew his personality too well, she knew it would be very embarrassing.

But going home to ask for money, Dong Li didn’t even dare to think about it. Not to mention her family didn’t have the money, even if they did, would the sister-in-law be willing to fork it out?

Dong Li felt so wronged, and her tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Cry, cry, cry to death, hoping I die, huh."

"Yeah, if I die, you can remarry." Gong Qiang lashed out at Dong Li with the most venomous words he could muster.
