Chapter 312: Chapter 312

Gong Qiang was taken aback when he saw Gong Tao, "You’re back."

Gong Qiang listened to this cold reply, and after a long while, asked, "Was the journey smooth?"

"It was okay. Alright, big brother, I’m leaving. Tonight, I’ll trouble you and big sister-in-law." Gong Tao realized that Gong Zhuang and the others were not likely to show up, so he had no intention of staying overnight here.

He’s leaving already? Wait, where is he going back to? Gong Qiang was taken aback, "You’re not staying at home?"

"No place to stay. Mom said the four of us should sleep on the floor in Dad’s room. I feel the floor is too cold for the kids to handle."

"So I found a place to make do. Otherwise, when the younger ones come back later, there won’t be a place to stay." Gong Tao said this with a hint of meaning.

Letting Gong Tao and his family sleep on the floor? Whose idea was this? Gong Qiang was anxious; he’d been busy recently, spinning in circles, and hadn’t realized so much had happened at home.

And could their old man’s condition allow them to share a room? Wouldn’t that expose what they wanted to hide? Gong Qiang was almost furious to death; they were really dragging him down.

Gong Qiang’s mind was full of thoughts about the secret not being revealed, so he entirely missed Gong Tao’s next sentence, "Tell Mei Na to come back for dinner."

Still eating? The family is , why bring people back for dinner? Now that the old man is still alive, at least they have some money. Once he goes, there’ll be no pension to rely on, and who knows how to survive then.

The more Dong Li thought about it, the angrier she became, wishing she could pinch Gong Qiang’s flesh to make him realize some things can be said, and some cannot.

Gong Tao politely refused with a smile, "Just arriving today, sis-in-law said there’s nothing for us four to eat. Sis-in-law, don’t frown. I won’t be eating here these days."

How could Gong Qiang not understand? Turning his head, he saw his wife’s face elongated, which infuriated him.

"That’s just the way your sister-in-law’s face is, what’s the point." Knowing his situation, if Gong Qiang won’t help, he doesn’t know how to deal with Gong Zhuang.

"No way around it, with a long face, I can’t eat. I’ll just buy some dry food on the way back."

"Brother, sister-in-law, you go have dinner." Gong Tao waved his hand and walked away with Cai Meina.

Cai Meina took a couple of steps and then looked apologetically at Dong Li, "Oh, right, sis-in-law, please take care of Dad’s clothes."

Dong Li was furious, wanting to ask what the hell Cai Meina did here all afternoon.

Seeing her cleaning the house, she just looked on without any intention of helping, which had already made Dong Li extremely upset.

Now this happens, how could Dong Li hold it in, "Can’t you wash them?"

"Didn’t you say, sis-in-law, that I’m too pampered, waste too much water and soap, so you have to do it, big sister-in-law." Cai Meina cheerfully threw back Dong Li’s past sarcasm.

Since she was despised before, there’s no thought of making her work now.

At the same time, Cai Meina lightly tapped her back, smiled at Dong Li for a long time before turning to leave.

Just that little action by Cai Meina frightened Dong Li out of her wits, causing her to be stunned for a long time without reaction. Check latest chapters at Nove1Fire.net

"She, she wouldn’t know, right?" If this gets out, it’s really no joke.

Maybe Gong Tao might hold back, but Gong Zhuang wouldn’t, always watching for her mistakes to take advantage. If Gong Zhuang finds out, Dong Li can’t even imagine the outcome.

Know? Gong Qiang turned his head to look at Dong Li and immediately slapped her, "You wasteful woman, how many times have I told you."

"I told you to prepare a room for Gong Tao, why didn’t you?" When Gong Qiang received the telegram, he was pleased, thinking he could talk with Gong Tao and make amends.

In Gong Qiang’s view, he had made a big mistake before, but now things have already happened. Especially now, he’s just a gatekeeper, has no status and is being punished. Isn’t it balanced now?

"Easy for you to say." How could Dong Li not know that her useless husband actually wanted to beat her up, but she wasn’t worried. If someone really dared to hit her, she would quit.

"Try hitting me if you dare."

"You’re just a gatekeeper, do you think you can marry a good wife?"

"No money, no status, you’re just a gatekeeper." Dong Li gave Gong Qiang a disdainful look before turning back to her room.

"And not preparing a room for Gong Tao was your mom’s idea, if you have an issue go talk to your mom." Dong Li wasn’t willing to take the blame.

"You..." Dong Li’s words made Gong Qiang lose face in every way, but what could he do? If he really beat her, the Dong family would cause trouble.

"Hmph, one day I’ll make you cry." Gong Qiang glared fiercely at Dong Li’s back, then turned around to find Gong Tao.

No matter what, he had to explain things. If the family said it was mom’s idea, could Gong Qiang really make his old mom apologize? That would definitely be a big problem.

Gong Qiang, panting, caught up with Gong Tao, "Taozi, we need to talk." His heart was racing uncontrollably, "I’m getting old, can’t run just a few steps."

Gong Tao didn’t say anything, just looked at Gong Qiang.

Gong Qiang was waiting for Gong Tao to speak, never expecting he would just look at him silently. This made Gong Qiang quite anxious.

With Gong Tao silent, he didn’t know what to say, "Um, I’m currently a gatekeeper, so about us, let’s just call it even."

Even, even, even, Gong Tao didn’t expect Gong Qiang to apologize. In this guy’s life, there was absolutely no such thing as apologizing to a brother. But to say that things were just resolved?

"What does your being a gatekeeper have to do with me?"

"Alright, we’re hungry too. Mei Na, let’s go." Gong Tao no longer wished to waste time on Gong Qiang, someone who hadn’t even recognized his mistake, what could you do with him?

Guide a little? Why guide a pig? Besides, a gatekeeper trying to rise again, does he have the ability? Who knows who he plans to betray next.

To avoid innocent people from getting into trouble, Gong Tao decided it was better not to guide a certain pig.

As for scolding him, it would probably only make him feel more wronged. The best way was to ignore Gong Qiang. Anyway, in a few days, he would definitely face retribution; Gong Zhuang would be the first not to spare him, causing a storm. So why act like the bad guy?

Cai Meina ignored Gong Qiang, walked behind Gong Tao back to the hotel, not knowing if Gong Ruwen and the others were hungry, or if they were comfortably at the hotel.

The main thing was spending an afternoon at the Gong family, Cai Meina felt like she was about to collapse, the smell alone could knock her out.
