Chapter 291: Chapter 291
Gong Tao and Cai Meina were talking about how Gong Zheng might react, but they didn’t know Gong Zheng was already furious.
When he graduated, he wanted the old man to help out, after all, he was a high school graduate, but the old man’s response back then was full of righteous indignation.
When Wu Rui received this news, she was also fuming. Although she knew if Gong Dajiang had spoken up for Gong Zheng, they might not have even met.
But this favoritism from the father-in-law left Wu Rui constantly grumbling.
"You talk about how tough life is at home, saying there’s no money."
Recalling the days when her mother-in-law always acted poor, Wu Rui was eager to reprimand them, "So the money used to connect Gong Xiaoyu."
Wu Rui used to think that being a bit nicer to her in-laws would make them consider her family of three and give some money.
But after her son was born, did the Gong Family even care about their family of three?
When they’re out of money, they think of her family, wanting them to pay up, "Can’t fool your second brother, so you’re fooling us?"
"Didn’t even think that even the simplest second brother wouldn’t give them money. Who else in the family would give them money?"
"Gong Zheng, I’m telling you, you can’t give this money." Why should the father-in-law burden them with debts for Gong Xiaoyu’s job, "If money has to be spent, it should be Gong Qiang’s."
This Columbia University elder brother seems able to rake in money ahead, but when asked to spend for his son, he’s miserly; how could he value money so much?
Gong Qiang to spend? Gong Zheng sneered, knowing his own brother, that poor guard, could he even have money? "He doesn’t have money, wouldn’t use it even if he had it."
"Anyway, we shouldn’t get involved in this. We’re living on a small salary, still need to raise a child." Gong Zheng had always focused on his small family, just never so blatantly.
Now completely ignoring the Gong Family, they would only return when there’s benefit, not consider Gong Family affairs otherwise.
Gong Zhuang and Miao Cuihua were also furious at home, completely ignoring the money-demanding Gong Dajiang couple, just busying themselves with their work and children.
This angered Gong Dajiang; he never expected to repay a little favor for his childhood friend’s help. Although they promised a job, there’s no harm if he didn’t repay, but Gong Dajiang didn’t dare not to.
Gong Xiaoyu was working at the factory, and what if without repayment they directly mistreat his grandson? Knowing his grandson’s temper, Gong Dajiang relied on his childhood friend for some care afterwards.
But there’s not much money at home, as for his eldest son, it’s not worth mentioning. Even though the job was for Gong Xiaoyu, how could he shamelessly claim there’s no money, pushing Gong Dajiang to frustration wanting to beat him.
But can this problem be solved by beating someone? Regardless of willingness, Gong Dajiang had to shoulder this responsibility.
After all, Gong Zhuang was his son, "Dad, you know our couple’s salary, just this much, it’s lucky my brother doesn’t ask you two to care for him."
Gong Zhuang looked troubled, ultimately implying there’s no money. They didn’t receive much care from the family, now couldn’t contribute for family affairs, which should be managed by Gong Tao, that fool.
Miao Cuihua was discontented, pushing aside her husband, father-in-law invested a lot in Gong Qiang, yet never thought of them, just the thought made her angry, "Dad, this money is for Gong Xiaoyu’s job, are you his dad?"
"You..." Gong Dajiang couldn’t stand this daughter-in-law, her family couldn’t support her, and she lacked culture, without consideration in speech. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⚑fire.net
"Did I say anything wrong, isn’t this Gong Qiang’s responsibility?"
"This is for her spendthrift brother-in-law, wasn’t heavy spending when her brother-in-law got in trouble; why is he, a brother-in-law, favoring his brother-in-law over his son?" How much money could the Dong family have, besides Dong Li’s meager support, who else cared?
The money this time was from their own brother, "He doesn’t care about his son’s future, we as uncles and aunts won’t care either."
"Dad, you can go find second brother." Didn’t they say before that for family matters, they could find Gong Tao; this time it’s a big family matter, it’s illogical not to find Gong Tao.
Not mentioning Gong Tao was better, mentioning him made Gong Dajiang uncomfortable, although he had written a letter explaining family matters, he didn’t expect such a son to send money back, maybe he’d even mock them for falling apart .
Zhang Lan also had a lot of pent-up anger, in the Northeast they had food, meat and land to grow vegetables, year-end dividends were money, weren’t they?
Zhang Lan couldn’t believe they wouldn’t manage to hunt and sell to earn money, such income was significant, yet they chose not to help, was such a son even a person?
If it faced Gong Qiang, Zhang Lan would pull Gong Qiang’s hand and complain, but facing Gong Zhuang couple, she couldn’t utter it, only let them make a joke of it.
Not saying still showing no trouble, from the couple’s awkward expressions Gong Zhuang and his wife could tell, "Second brother isn’t capable, find little brother, he might be sympathetic." Gong Zhuang proposed a suggestion.
"Mom, it’s getting late, we don’t have much food, we won’t keep you for dinner." Miao Cuihua glanced at the time, decided not to keep Gong Dajiang couple for dinner, signaling they could leave.
This was like igniting a powder keg, Zhang Lan jumped up, enduring so much humiliation today for grandson’s sake, she held back.
But now, without getting the money and not being invited to dinner, Zhang Lan was furious, unable to contain her temper, she began her insults.
If it were other daughters-in-law, they might have restrained a bit, but Miao Cuihua wouldn’t endure, escalating into a shouting match with Zhang Lan.
Miao Cuihua knew if letting Zhang Lan talk, it would all blame her as a daughter-in-law, problem was she wouldn’t give Zhang Lan a chance.
Miao Cuihua ran into the yard, sat down dramatically crying, revealing Gong Dajiang couple borrowed debt for grandson’s job, expecting uncles and aunts to cover it.
Simultaneously pulling the Cao family’s issue into it, it was dinner time, people from all around hearing the commotion gathered.
After listening to Miao Cuihua, everyone’s gaze at the couple turned weird, thanks to previous Gong family incidents, people didn’t assume she exaggerated, more than one daughter-in-law claimed Gong Dajiang couple was biased.
Especially after Gong Xiaoyu bragged about his future job’s workplace, linking all together, everyone began pointing at them, which angered Gong Dajiang to the point of fainting.
Gong Dajiang felt his pride for life was utterly destroyed by such a daughter-in-law, reputation for a lifetime.
Gong Dajiang felt there was no way he could walk out again.
