Chapter 192: Chapter 192

After Cai Meina received such explosive news, of course she had to share it with friends.

The best way to share it at home is, of course, to talk about it at the dinner table.

Although the team hasn’t started busying yet, they’re busy clearing the channels to prevent the melted snow water from spreading everywhere due to uncleared channels.

Zhao Gang and the others work on the village channels in the morning and head to the mountains in the afternoon to set up simple channels and traps.

Previously, Zhao Gang only made a simple protective device, which could stop small animals, but not large ones.

Zhao Gang knew he couldn’t handle these things alone, so he had to use various ways to try for a big harvest.

Gong Tao limply crawled to the kang table, "Luckily there are only a few days left to get this work done."

If it continues, Gong Tao will really cry. He thought he’d trained enough to handle farm work without lagging, but turns out it’s much harder than he expected.

Thinking about busy farm days every day makes Gong Tao’s face pale.

Though he’s a Columbia alumnus, he has limited strength. He regretted not accepting the village chief’s offer for easy tasks.

"Have a good meal, take a hot bath, then lying on a warm kang will rejuvenate you." Zhao Gang had such a day too, and his situation was even worse than Gong Tao’s.

It’s rare that Zhao Gang didn’t mock Gong Tao but instead supported him with various looks.

Today’s friend is unusual, he didn’t mock at all, it’s strange, Gong Tao wanted to ask when he heard his wife clearing her throat.

Seeing her signature move, it seems his wife has something to announce. Gong Tao can ignore anyone but must respect his wife.

Gong Tao immediately stood seriously, signaling Cai Meina to speak.

He’s really cheeky, treating her like a big deal. After rolling her eyes at Gong Tao, she shared the letter Cai Ming sent today.

Gong Ruini was eating quail eggs. Ever since she said quail egg shells can make one grow taller, Zhao Guangran listened and did foolish things to grow tall.

Compared to Gong Ruini’s silly quail egg shell suggestion, other suggestions also sounded unreliable.

Luckily Gong Ruini, the clever tattletale, informed Zhao Xuran, who got angry and scolded Zhao Guangran fiercely.

Zhao Guangran bit the quail egg and forced himself to swallow the shell, then looked at Gong Ruini, wondering why she could eat quail eggs so elegantly.

Gong Ruini focused all her attention on Cai Meina’s words, "Uncle, how do you know this?"

Isn’t Cai Ming already in the Northeast, how does he know the family matters so well, is it a letter from the Cai Family?

If it’s from the Cai Family, Gong Ruini’s first reaction is that it’s likely unreliable.

"It’s a classmate of your uncle." Cai Ming mentioned casually, not taking it seriously, but didn’t expect the classmate did accomplish it.

"His classmate’s family has only one child, who replaced his father’s position at work." Avoiding rural assignments was one way to skip down-country children tasks.

Cai Meina was happy earlier, not considering much. Now knowing it’s a brother’s classmate’s letter, even if it cost a stamp, it shows Cai Ming’s words weighed in heart.

Cai Meina doesn’t exploit others’ kindness. Since help was offered, she may ask for future favors, "Should we send something to thank him?"

Such gesture allows future notices, avoiding being caught off guard by schemes from the Gong and Cai Family that feel terrible.

Though the letter said Gong Dajiang mentioned not going to Northeast again nor consulting Gong Tao, as long as Zhang Lan and the Gong Brothers are around, won’t they stir trouble?

Gong Dajiang isn’t trustworthy, don’t assume his words are true now, a slight soft word from Gong Qiang might change his mind.

If Gong Dajiang hadn’t visited, Gong Tao might think his father’s nice, but now he knows better not to rely. Newest update provıded by novel✦fire.net

"Yes, yes, send something, just unsure if Gong and Cai Family will find out." Gong Tao doesn’t want a little gift causing a stir.

Zhang Lan is annoyed, knowing gifts are given to outsiders instead of them, who knows how she might vent.

Choosing what to send is easy, even dried mushrooms and wood ears work, but whom to send under is tricky.

"Let Dazhu mail it." Though Hua Miaozhu could, a woman sending items to a man feels improper, Zhao Gang thought of Dazhu quickly.

The plan to have Dazhu send items was decided, whether Dazhu agrees isn’t an issue.

Since Dazhu received several quails, his care is meticulous, and he hatched many chicks, smiling like a flower all day.

Gift arrangements settled, Zhao Gang couldn’t hold back, "Gong Qiang is ruthless, yet Gong Zheng is unfair."

Gong Ruini agreed, if for Gong Family’s good, why wasn’t Gong Qiang prompted about remittance earlier, why wait so long?

From Gong Qiang’s view, Gong Zheng’s act clearly isn’t ethical, only Gong Qiang’s fault is his lack of wisdom.

Which made Gong Dajiang’s impression of Gong Qiang worse, creating sibling rifts, is this elder brother’s grace?

Even the money from Zhang Lan was given to mother-in-law’s house, not just Gong Dajiang, but Zhang Lan would be furious.

Gong Ruini didn’t expect Zhang Lan’s frantic urge for Gong Tao’s money would end with neither she nor Gong Family spending a penny.

This shows Gong Family isn’t destined to enjoy such wealth.

No matter the Gong Family’s schemes, they aren’t meant for fortune.

She didn’t expect Zhang Lan’s years of smearing Gong Tao couples got exposed by Gong Family, showing them as most filial.

While Gong Qiang’s clique did nothing but undermine Zhang Lan’s side and scheme against brothers.

Gong Ruini can imagine the Gong Family’s embarrassment, which won’t lead to promotions, making them cautious for years to come.
