Chapter 319: Chapter 319

Gong Zhuang was determined to make a good impression, huh, this was the perfect chance to beat Gong Qiang.

Honestly, Gong Zhuang didn’t expect Gong Qiang and Dong Li to have a falling out. Last year, when our eldest brother caused such a huge stir, everyone thought they would divorce, but in the end, Dong Li was taken back home.

This time, not sure if they really will divorce, but as far as Gong Zhuang is concerned, whether they do or not doesn’t matter, as long as the Dong family comes and causes a ruckus, that’s enough.

"Dad, hang in there. My second brother and I will take you to the hospital soon."

"Dad, I didn’t expect our eldest brother to be so heartless." Gong Zhuang was genuinely upset.

Gong Ruini observed from behind, seeing Gong Zhuang act so convincingly, it would be a real waste if he didn’t pursue an acting career.

But to perform with such skill, how long has he been acting, truly a master pretender.

Gong Ruini couldn’t help but marvel at how these small things, small amounts of money, could make them so desperate. If they realized they could get a huge benefit, who knows how excited they’d be, making Gong Ruini wary of Gong Zhuang.

Gong Qiang, Gong Zhuang, and Gong Zheng combined, really are an unstoppable force, unless Zhang Lan is not around.

If Zhang Lan isn’t here, what trouble could Gong Qiang cause? Saying Gong Tao is unfilial and doesn’t care for his mother can stir public opinion, but you never hear about someone causing trouble for not supporting their brothers.

The problem is Zhang Lan is living so lively without Gong Dajiang’s restraint, surely she’d live even more freely unless Gong Qiang unwillingly wants her gone.

The thing is, as long as Gong Qiang isn’t out of his mind, why wouldn’t he want Zhang Lan to live? With her around, he can get more money.

Gong Ruini was worried and anxious about the future, while Gong Zhuang was in a good mood; today, he was truly playing the role of a devoted son. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel_fіre.net

Neighbors around noticed Gong Zhuang ceaselessly talking about how filial he was, and although they felt contempt, they couldn’t say to his face how unfilial he was.

"Why is there a hole in your dad’s back?"

"No wonder your dad’s been saying things we can’t understand lately."

"Indeed, yesterday my mom and sister-in-law blocked my second brother from looking, that’s when he found it odd..." It wasn’t that Gong Zhuang wanted to give credit to Gong Tao, but he had to, as a neighbor heard Gong Tao’s words.

However, even though he wasn’t the first to know this secret, he did suggest taking the old man to the hospital, which is also a credit.

"Yes, quite a big hole." Gong Zhuang paused, flipped Gong Dajiang over, exposing his back.

Initially, Gong Dajiang’s body had a foul odor, but because they were outdoors, everyone could ignore it. Yet when Gong Tao turned Gong Dajiang over, revealing the clothes, the smell...

Gong Ruini retreated three or four steps in shock; the smell was truly terrible. Gong Ruini covered her nose, wanting to stay far from the smell.

As for the surrounding neighbors, there was even more to say, "Wow, the skin’s turned black."

"What’s on top?" An eagle-eyed neighbor noticed something suddenly.

Following her direction, everyone was stunned, "Could it be uncleaned feces?"

Everyone kept shaking their heads, wondering what the heck this was, "Gong Zhuang, sending him to the hospital , the doctor will definitely be disdainful. You might as well wipe him down first."

"Zhang Lan, you really went too far with this, your Old Gong treated you well before."

"Exactly, and she claims she’s always busy taking care of Old Gong."

"Listen to her nonsense, only you believe it. Look at her, she hasn’t lost any weight, clearly just boasting."

"Indeed, indeed, Old Zhu’s wife took care of her paralyzed mother-in-law and lost so much weight."

Zhang Lan felt dizzy from hearing this, how it all got revealed, and the neighbors’ comments made her feel like dying.

Zhang Lan believed she had done quite well all her life, never did anything unethical, but now she faces this situation in her old age, losing all her lifelong face.

"Mei Na, how did you take care of your dad yesterday?" Zhang Lan certainly wouldn’t let her reputation suffer, she quickly tried to shift the blame onto Gong Tao.

See, when there’s a problem, the blame falls on her old man, her old woman, anyway, Zhang Lan is just a pure and innocent white lotus.

Gong Tao wasn’t willing to let his wife take the fall, "Mom, wasn’t everything handled by you and sister-in-law yesterday?"

"Dad pooping and all, you and sister-in-law were the ones cleaning up and even chased us out of the room."

"Mom, indeed, if we knew yesterday, we wouldn’t have delayed going to the hospital yesterday, why wait until today." Cai Meina was irritated and couldn’t help knowing that this old lady wasn’t thinking right.

Hmph, Dong Li had already been chased away by Gong Qiang, yet Zhang Lan always habitually protects Dong Li, showing how biased she is.

"Don’t blame sister-in-law, even if my wife comes here, when she sees dad poop, mom and sister-in-law chase us out, saying we’re in the way." At crucial times, Gong Tao stood up to support Gong Qiang and them.

"True, I’d do the same." Gong Zhuang had an understanding look.

"Sigh, but you guys went too far, sister-in-law, this time sorry for the trouble." Gong Zhuang wouldn’t want to do this kind of work, the smell was just too awful.

The guy, he jumps to be a good person, takes center stage when benefits are at stake, but when it comes to working, he’s nowhere to be found.

What can Cai Meina do, she actually didn’t want to take on this task, but could she say she’s embarrassed because of the smell, so she won’t do it?

Changing to Northeast, maybe act coy and let Gong Tao do it, but here, Cai Meina didn’t have the nerve, especially with Zhang Lan watching from behind.

If she showed even a bit of unwillingness, this wicked mother-in-law would definitely make a fuss and clean up her image.

"I’ll do it, you guys get some clean clothes for dad, then we’ll go to the hospital." Weren’t the clothes just changed yesterday, how did they get dirty , Cai Meina really didn’t understand.

Gong Zhuang responded and went to get clothes, assured the task would be completed.

As for Gong Tao, he naturally helped Cai Meina wipe Gong Dajiang’s body.

Zhang Lan noticed her son’s attentive demeanor and kept pursing her lips, "Truly a dutiful son, always listening to his wife."

When asked by his mother to do something, he was always unwilling, but to help his wife, he was proactive, which really infuriated Zhang Lan.

No way, jealous even of this? Gong Ruini was quite speechless, let alone lecturing the son, maybe reflect on whether she’s an adequate mother.

"I am willing, and listening to my wife is inherited from my dad, didn’t my dad always listen to you, so why is it not okay for me?" Gong Tao retorted without hesitation.

"You..." Since he’s willing to do such servile work, let him do it, Zhang Lan decided not to intervene.
