Chapter 318: Chapter 318

Did second brother see it? Upon hearing from Gong Tao yesterday, Gong Zhuang also started looking for connections, but before he could reach out to anyone, his second brother had already found the evidence. Impressive.

Gong Zhuang had initially wanted to go out and gather information, precisely because he thought that with Zhang Lan’s cunning, it was impossible for them to discover the issue inside.

Unexpectedly, there was no convenience at all, but this was done beautifully, at least he didn’t owe anyone a favor.

Gong Zhuang inwardly praised, but outwardly feigned disbelief with an expression of surprise, "How could there be a wound?"

"And on the back no less."

"That must be painful."

Gong Dajiang knew his father was quite a character, but he didn’t expect him to be this tough. If he had a minor injury, he’d be screaming for half a day.

"It must hurt. I think we should wait for Gong Zheng to come and take Dad to the hospital," Gong Tao knew about this matter, so of course, he couldn’t keep silent; he absolutely needed to expose everything.

He also wanted to prevent Zhang Lan and the others from shirking responsibility in the future, "Moreover, there’s pus on his body."

Gong Tao didn’t know if Gong Dajiang regretted it at that moment, but even if he did, it was too late.

Gong Zhuang felt a chill overwhelming him, "Stop talking, I’m trembling just hearing about it."

"Mom, didn’t you say you and sister-in-law were taking great care of Dad? So this is how you took care of him." They deserved it. Showing excessive care towards Gong Qiang now had its consequences.

"Stop with the hemming and hawing, second brother, let’s take Dad to the hospital." Despite his anger, Gong Zhuang understood the seriousness of Gong Dajiang’s situation.

Before Gong Qiang returned, the priority was to get Gong Dajiang to the hospital, regardless of any fuss afterward.

No matter how much trouble Gong Qiang wanted to cause in the end, bringing Gong Dajiang back home was his problem. The current priority was to settle this matter.

"Don’t take him to the hospital." Zhang Lan was anxious, knowing the hospital where Gong Dajiang received treatment; the implications worried her.

Recalling what those doctors said last time made Zhang Lan tremble, and if they blabbed about it, what then?

Zhang Lan’s panicked demeanor made Gong Zhuang more determined to take the old man to the hospital, "Not going isn’t an option."

"I can’t be as heartless as you. Knowing Dad’s health is poor, yet you won’t take him to the hospital."

Gong Zhuang’s insistence on taking Gong Dajiang to the hospital was really pushing Zhang Lan to her limits.

Angry, Zhang Lan didn’t care about anything else, believing that if Gong Dajiang were truly taken to the hospital, her efforts to keep secrets would be for nothing.

She might as well vent now, "Now you care about your dad? Where have you been all this time?"

"How many times did you visit while your dad was bedridden?"

"You were the one who caused your dad to be bedridden."

Zhang Lan grew more agitated, wearing a look that seemed to question why she had such an unfilial child.

If it were Gong Zheng, perhaps he’d have retreated, embarrassed to pursue further, but she faced Gong Zhuang instead.

Why would Gong Zhuang pay attention to Zhang Lan? "Is this my fault?"

"It’s big brother’s fault, yes. He has money to give his brother-in-law but no money to help his son make connections, even asking me, an uncle, for money. He’s shameless."

"As for why I haven’t come, Mom, you know, right?"

"Sister-in-law explicitly told me not to come, and Mom, you were there."

"You said you only wanted big brother and them to take care of Dad, insisting the house would go to big brother. Yet, big brother took care of Dad ."

"Everyone knows Dad’s pension went to whom, but who would’ve thought you’d be so biased?"

Gong Zhuang looked at the wildly agitated Zhang Lan and really wanted to say, "It’s said our family is the Dong family’s creditor."

"It’s said we just need to go to the Dong family to collect debt and kick them out" Gong Zhuang stopped and stared at Zhang Lan. The most update n0vels are published on novel⦿fire.net

Zhang Lan’s heart was pounding, "You-you shouldn’t believe the rumors."

"Big brother did give money, but without a promissory note, Cai Family won’t acknowledge it." Zhang Lan stammered in explanation.

At this moment, Zhang Lan was nothing like her previously arrogant self; she looked pitiful to an extent.

But none present felt sorry for Zhang Lan; when dealing with bullies, one should bully them hard, while with difficult ones, even begging works.

"Is there really no promissory note?"

"Was someone talking nonsense?"

"Those words came from your eldest son, Gong Qiang."

"If I guessed correctly, he probably went to the Dong family for money, right?"

"How did you explain it to us back then? You said your retirement money was conned by sister-in-law for her family, and without a promissory note, retrieving it was impossible."

Thinking back, Gong Zhuang felt like quite the fool for not realizing sooner.

"I’m really foolish, to push my second brother over some retirement money; how could I give up so much money?"

Thinking back, he felt Zhang Lan was too calm at the time, as if she hadn’t lost that much money.

Previously, Gong Zhuang thought Zhang Lan was giving Gong Qiang consideration by not fussing too much, but now he understood it wasn’t nonchalance but that they had promissory notes in hand.

"Yet, it’s fine. We’ve got the house; the few of us will divide it." The house was somewhat small; even if second brother didn’t want it, they still had three families to share it among, and it’s still cramped.

Though the Dong family’s house isn’t big enough, it’s an option, "If big brother doesn’t want to share, no matter, completely abandon this house, and it will be for me and Gong Zheng."

"As for the money disparity, big brother can repay us slowly." Gong Zhuang didn’t want to bother further with the Dong family.

The Dong family really consisted of useless individuals, only Gong Qiang might feel they were great; in Gong Zhuang’s eyes, they were burdens.

Since they were Gong Qiang’s in-laws, let him handle the headache, and if possible, have Zhang Lan join them for an eventful time.

Gong Zhuang didn’t want to live with Zhang Lan, not because it wasted space, but primarily because once Zhang Lan had free time, she’d find ways to stir trouble, and Gong Zhuang didn’t want to deal with that after a day’s work.

So it was better to resolve these bothersome issues from the start, as for Zhang Lan’s pension, Gong Zhuang deemed it unreachable, as she’d surely save it to aid Gong Qiang, so let her openly support such a useless son.

Ah, so there’s no significant loss? Gong Tao eyed Zhang Lan with amusement, how such things could be kept secret indeed puzzled him.

They truly put too much importance on the Dong family, thinking they’d maintain confidentiality; how could such clueless teammates be reliable? Renee rudely rolled her eyes.
