Chapter 190: Chapter 190

Gong Dajiang sat furiously in his seat, looking at his two sons, "Alright, I’ve met your demands."

"Now you know your dad didn’t lie to you."

"Just look at you." Gong Dajiang had been hurt by Gong Tao before and thought he still had other sons.

Now looking at Gong Qiang and Gong Zheng fighting over such trivial matters, he couldn’t imagine what would happen if there were bigger conflicts of interest in the future.

"Old man, that..." Zhang Lan, though upset by her two sons, still wanted to help them speak as they were her sons.

Gong Dajiang really didn’t want to hear Zhang Lan speak, "Shut up, I’m not a fool, I can analyze."

"When you opened your luggage in front of so many people outside, didn’t you think about where to put your face then?"

Thinking of how he turned his luggage upside down in front of so many old neighbors earlier, Gong Dajiang couldn’t suppress his anger.

If this had happened at home, it could be dismissed, but so many people knowing about it, Gong Dajiang really had no face to walk out, always feeling that everyone outside looked at him with disdain.

"Each of you holds a leadership position, but you bicker over such trivial things." Gong Dajiang was angry but felt obliged to explain, "The item has stayed with us for so many days, but Gong Qiang, you weren’t even willing to pay."

"You don’t pay and don’t even give your brother Gong Zheng a chance, do you feel good about that?" As the eldest son, Gong Dajiang held high regard; if the eldest behaved well, the Gong family could only move forward smoothly.

Now it seems this so-called eldest son is quite miserly, "Gong Zheng, how can you argue with your brother over this money?"

Each had their own agendas. Though Gong Dajiang felt a bit disappointed, having spent so much time and energy with nothing to show for it, he now felt fortunate.

If he had really gotten the ginseng, it would have been difficult to resolve, no matter who he gave it to.

"Gong Tao’s life isn’t easy. When your mother and I visited, we didn’t even get to eat meat, and in the end, we ate our own grain. This time, let’s forget it; think of it as visiting Gong Tao. There won’t be a next time."

"Your mom and I won’t go to the Northeast, nor will we write letters." Having gone there and not being respected, there’s no need to write letters.

Even the eldest son, although the issue concerned him and it was beneficial for his promotion, he was unwilling to pay, let alone whether Gong Tao was willing to contribute.

Ah, no way, they’re not going anymore? What’s going on? Gong Qiang was dumbstruck; he had been scheming, hoping the old folks would go again, even willing to pay for the ginseng, yet they were unwilling to go.

"How could Gong Tao not take care of our parents? They are too much." Gong Qiang was furious, thinking the old man ate his own food when visiting, "I knew that kid was always fierce."

"How could there be such unfilial children?" Hmph, let him play tricks and be unwilling to pay for ginseng; Gong Qiang cursed Gong Tao harshly.

The harsher Gong Qiang cursed, the more disappointed Gong Dajiang became with him, "Do you know where his money goes?"

"Your mother said Gong Tao sends money for living expenses annually, and this time he went to the Northeast, and your mom insisted on him sending a few years’ worth, and all that money was given to you."

The people gathered around the Gong family to hear more were stirred; they had always heard Zhang Lan talk about how unfilial Gong Tao was, and now they couldn’t believe Zhang Lan was constantly asking Gong Tao for money while smearing him, even when they were jobless, they still pressured him. Quite excessive.

How could mom mention this to daddy, wasn’t it supposed to be unsaid, how could it be brought up, Gong Qiang panicked, he finally understood why the old man had such a strange expression and tone.

Especially as the old man was staring at him, could he know this money was given to him? If Gong Zheng weren’t present, it would be easier, but why say it with him around.

Did second brother actually give mom money for living expenses every month? Gong Zheng was shocked, he had never heard this from his second brother and sister-in-law.

All Gong Zheng heard was his own mother constantly complaining about how excessive his second brother was, "Did second brother really give mom money?" Thıs text ıs hosted at NoveI[F]ire.net

"What, you’re doubting me? I didn’t even know about this money; your mom gave it all to your big brother," Gong Dajiang stared at Gong Qiang, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Even if he was the eldest son, did he not know he was actually taking money from the elders?

Thinking of this money made Gong Dajiang feel cheated; it wasn’t a small amount, and this son was excessively unreasonable, acting all filial, while actually digging into their funds.

Gong Dajiang even got a bit more conspiratorial, wondering if the previous gifts supposedly given by Gong Qiang were actually bought with money from Zhang Lan. Thinking about it, Gong Dajiang felt even more upset,

Everything went to the big brother; how much money did that take, Gong Zheng felt a pang of sadness, recalling how his own mother constantly said there was no money when he got married, "No wonder they said the Dong family had a good son-in-law; no matter how big a mess the Dong family boy made, there was always money to solve it."

Gong Zheng remembered that a while ago, the Dong family boy made some mess that wasn’t too serious, but it cost them quite some money, Gong Zheng recalled, "It was likely a few months ago, the Dong family took out probably around five or six hundred yuan at once."

"Dad, you know how the Dong family is." Analyzing this needed some brainpower, and Gong Zheng wouldn’t involve Zhang Lan, especially since to Gong Tao, she symbolized favoritism.

Five or six hundred, so much, Zhang Lan sharply inhaled, then looked incredulously at Gong Qiang, "Hand over your bankbook."

Zhang Lan knew her eldest daughter-in-law Dong Li would support her family, but she didn’t expect it to be so significant, how could Zhang Lan not get angry.

Asking Gong Qiang for two hundred yuan to buy something was always a financial struggle, always wanting her to pay, but giving to the Dong family was generous, five or six hundred without blinking, how could she have such a prodigal son.

"Mom..." Gong Qiang knew that there wasn’t even a bankbook in the house, just a total of about dozens of yuan, how could that be taken out.

Gong Qiang only pleaded without taking any action, leaving Gong Dajiang and the others to understand Gong Zheng wasn’t wrong.

Seeing Gong Qiang’s pleading face, Gong Zheng felt a sense of satisfaction, humph, let Gong Qiang, as the older brother, think he could bully anyone.

Now he eagerly awaited how Zhang Lan would tussle with Gong Qiang.

Gong Dajiang was utterly disappointed, "Since you have so much money, from today on, all household expenses will be covered by you, considering your mom has given you so much before."

"Don’t think your mom will give you more, our savings and retirement money, I’ll be holding onto it."

Even if this money was spent by the Gong family, Gong Dajiang wouldn’t be as angry; he didn’t expect it to be spent on the Dong family, especially by that spendthrift son, how could Gong Dajiang not be furious.
