Chapter 316: Chapter 316

Gong Ruini yawned as she followed Cai Meina and others to the Gong family, only to find the house in complete disarray.

So many dirty dishes were just left in the sink, and the clothes were haphazardly piled up.

What’s going on here? Did they know they were coming back, so they stopped washing clothes and dishes? This is just too much.

Gong Tao also noticed and immediately his face turned sour.

"Alright, you go in and take care of dad." These aren’t their clothes, nor are these their dirty dishes, so why should they wash them?

Gong Tao’s opinion of Dong Li dropped even further. She really thinks she’s special, that being the so-called eldest daughter-in-law is a big deal?

They should know the house hasn’t even been officially assigned to anyone. Dong Li having this attitude is just unacceptable.

"First, go wash the clothes and the dishes." Kicking Dong Li out yesterday was satisfying, but thinking about all the clothes and dishes gives her a headache.

No way, just because she didn’t wash Gong Dajiang’s clothes yesterday, there’s no reason to leave all these clothes for us to wash.

Cai Meina’s face stiffened; all these clothes belong to Gong Qiang’s family, why should she wash them? Does he still think it’s like before?

Cai Meina hadn’t even exploded yet when Gong Tao went off first, "Where’s Dong Li?"

"Didn’t you say she was virtuous?"

"Whoever heard of a sister-in-law washing the clothes of her brother-in-law’s family?" There’s no way Gong Tao would let his wife do such a thing.

"Dong Li got chased away by your brother." Zhang Lan was furious; Gong Tao had become more and more outrageous, even talking back to her.

What? Dong Li got chased away by Gong Qiang? The whole Gong Tao family of four was shocked.

Actually, when Gong Tao was talking to Gong Xiaoyu yesterday, he expected some turmoil when he got back.

Zhang Lan, relying on her status as the eldest and funding the family, naturally sided with Gong Xiaoyu, while Dong Li wouldn’t listen to Zhang Lan, leading to inevitable discord.

But they only thought there’d be unimaginable arguments, never expecting it to escalate this much.

Oh my, who would’ve thought that blockhead is actually capable of this? Gong Ruini admitted she had underestimated her cousin.

"That’s an issue for your brother’s household. If his wife won’t wash these clothes, isn’t there his daughter?"

"She’s supposed to go to school," Zhang Lan defended.

School? Gong Ruini rolled her eyes, "Grandma, it’s winter break."

"You little brat." Zhang Lan raised her hand, ready to teach Gong Ruini a lesson. This girl was as unlikable as her mother; why did she even fancy Cai Meina back then?

Gong Tao pulled Gong Ruini behind him, "Is there a problem with what she said?"

"My wife isn’t here to take care of my uncle. If he chased away his wife, that’s none of our business."

"The clothes won’t be washed. If you force me to wash them, I’ll throw them out immediately."

"You..." Zhang Lan was so furious she thought she’d die from anger, "How can you be ."

"Why can’t I? If he could do it on day one, why can’t I on day fifteen?"

"He plotted to send me to the Northeast. I came back, and I haven’t heard a single apology, only his arrogant attitude. Who does he think he is?"

"He sent me off to the Northeast and his life got worse, didn’t it?"

Gong Tao was in a bad mood today, ready to be as sarcastic as possible, "If I were here, Gong Qiang wouldn’t have ended up as a doorman, but rather continued leisurely in logistics."

"Mom, didn’t you say Gong Qiang was capable? How come as soon as he took a higher position, he got kicked out?"

"This is what you call capable?"

"Couldn’t even keep his wife."

"Indeed, if it wasn’t for big brother giving money to his wife’s family, would the Dong family have agreed? Only you, Zhang Lan, would think the Dong family is good."

"You once said Meina would support her family, but compared to Dong Li, she’s nowhere close."

Oh my, dad was really impressive today. Gong Ruini had thought Zhang Lan would blow up and her dad would cave, but surprisingly, he held strong.

Gong Ruini didn’t believe the clothes and dishes were left without anyone to wash them; it was more likely a warning to show her family how serious they were.

If they obediently washed the clothes this time, who knows what future tasks they’d be asked to do? Some people just don’t know when to stop and only care about their greed.

"As for the dishes, if the nieces and nephews don’t want to wash them, I won’t either. I will only cook some food for you two elders and will wash just a few dishes. I won’t care about anyone else," Gong Tao reaffirmed that he wouldn’t care about anyone else’s problems, as they didn’t matter to him.

Zhang Lan was about to faint from anger, "They’re all your nieces and nephews, though."

"But do they treat us as family?"

"In the past, we didn’t do less housework or put in less effort, but what was the result?"

Gong Tao chuckled at Zhang Lan, saying, "All of them look down on us, expecting us to do everything."

"Why should we have to? I’m not counting on inheriting any family property. I don’t even have a job now, being sent to the Northeast as a farmer. Do you think I need this kind of reputation?"

Gong Tao truly feared nothing anymore. Zhang Lan had no grounds left to attack him; she should take it out on the other siblings instead.

Zhang Lan was dumbfounded. Their actions in the Northeastern rural have become known to neighboring villagers as showing both Gong Tao’s parents’ bias and their general dislike of his family. Zhang Lan didn’t think writing to them would make anyone care.

"You, you..." Zhang Lan couldn’t think of anything else to do but resort to crying and causing trouble.

Gong Tao directly ignored her, walked around her, and went into the inner room.

He didn’t forget to sincerely suggest, "Mom, I think you should go cause a scene outside."

If she wanted everyone else to know he was unfilial, she needed to find a more open place. Otherwise, how would she make a big fuss?

Going outside to cause a scene, trying to turn Zhang Lan into a spectacle, Gong Ruini almost laughed herself sick, "Grandma, wear more clothes, it’s cold outside."

Gong Ruini truly thought she was a good kid. Even if she didn’t like Zhang Lan, she couldn’t just watch her freeze. Elderly people need to take care of their health.

"Mom, be careful; if your clothes get dirty, there’s no one to wash them." Cai Meina lightly reminded from the side.

Ha, to think they could slander them and still expect her to wash clothes—it’s not going to happen; she wasn’t that kind-hearted.

Zhang Lan originally only wanted to threaten Gong Tao and his family, but seeing their unmoved reactions, she couldn’t possibly go outside to cause a scene. After all, yesterday’s fuss wasn’t small, and many people heard the rumors during mealtime.

Zhang Lan didn’t dare to go out, not wanting to see the mocking eyes of the neighbors, "I’ll go wash the dishes."

As for the clothes, Zhang Lan didn’t even want to wash her own clothes, much less help Gong Qiang with his laundry. Latest content publıshed on n0velfire.net
