Chapter 320: Chapter 320

Gong Zhuang thought finding clothes for himself would be the easiest task, but he didn’t expect to encounter such a big problem.

After rummaging through the clothes for a long time, Gong Zhuang found that every piece had a smell, and upon closer inspection, there were all sorts of stains on them.

Clearly, these clothes haven’t been washed. Good heavens.

Gong Zhuang was tempted to throw the clothes away, "Have these clothes even been washed?"

"Why are there spots all over them?"

"Mom, didn’t you say my sister-in-law often washes Dad’s clothes?"

"Why do they all have such a strong smell?"

Gong Zhuang leaned in to sniff the clothes but quickly drew back in disdain, "This smell, I don’t even know how to judge it. Are these supposed to be clean clothes?"

If Gong Zhuang’s initial reaction was subconscious, now it was definitely him acting, life is a stage after all, and Gong Ruini once again felt that Gong Zhuang’s talent was truly wasted. Read full story at novel⚑fire.net

If he had been born thirty years later and looked a bit more handsome, he would surely be a young heartthrob.

In Gong Ruini’s eyes, some of these young actors really aren’t as good as Gong Zhuang at acting. If it weren’t for Zhang Lan supporting Gong Qiang, who knows, Gong Zhuang might really outshine him.

Gong Ruini also somewhat understood why Zhang Lan and her husband didn’t like Gong Zhuang. This guy was just too good at acting.

Even though they went back inside to help Gong Dajiang with his body, there were still plenty of people spectating at the door.

Just seeing how agitated Gong Zhuang was moments ago made them feel there was more drama to come, and of course, they wouldn’t want to miss it.

And indeed, more drama did come—the clothes hadn’t been properly washed.

Right then, the elderly woman next door to the Gong Family burst into laughter, "It’s been a long time since Gong Dajiang’s clothes were washed, hasn’t it?"

"I haven’t seen them washed since November anyway."

These people really have nothing better to do, keeping an eye even on whether the neighbors are washing their clothes. Truly, nothing better to do.

Gong Zhuang couldn’t care less whether what they were saying was true or not, for him, the point was that the message he wanted to convey had already spread.

"Forget it, this set of clothes will do, looks decent," Gong Zhuang said with an expression that implied he had spent ages picking this set.

Zhang Lan, watching from the side, was fuming. This guy really has it easy, constantly belittling them.

Even though Zhang Lan was angry, she had to swallow her pride. No matter how this escalates, it would only play into Gong Zhuang’s hands.

Hmph, let these two boys be smug for now, Zhang Lan didn’t believe she wouldn’t be able to get back at them.

When the time comes, nothing will be left for them, let’s see how proud they’ll be then. Do they really think smearing her reputation would make her hesitate?

Not thinking at all about how her reputation is already ruined, why would she care so much? Just proves how stupid they are.

Zhang Lan’s somber expression even caught Gong Tao’s attention. He could understand her resentment and thoughts, but he just smiled. For he had no interest in the Gong family’s assets, there was no need to care.

Cai Meina hurriedly finished wiping Gong Dajiang, dressed him quickly, "Let’s go, we’re going to the hospital."

Gong Tao had just picked up the basin ready to pour out the water, really not wanting to comment, he didn’t know what to say.

Gong Ruini peeked in, shaking her head. Knowing Zhang Lan and her husband wouldn’t help Gong Dajiang bathe, and in winter, it was unrealistic to bathe him. But still, the water became this dirty just from wiping him down?

How long had it been since someone last cleaned him, a month or two?

Thinking back to last year when Gong Dajiang went to the Northeast, he bathed daily, even saying he’d go to the factory’s bathhouse every day. He was a man who liked cleanliness, never thought he’d end up .

Gong Ruini looked at Gong Dajiang, eyes closed, muttering who knows what alien language, really wanting to know what he was thinking now, if he had any regrets.

Seeing how dirty the water was, Gong Zhuang quickly snatched the basin from Gong Tao. "Second Brother, you’re tired from helping Dad, I’ll pour the water."

Gong Tao looked at his empty hands, reluctantly agreeing.

Actually, Gong Tao thought it unnecessary to keep discussing this, but also understood today Gong Zhuang was really angered.

He wouldn’t miss any chances to strike at Gong Qiang and Zhang Lan.

It’s their own doing, and Gong Tao didn’t want to get involved, so he turned to help Gong Dajiang get dressed.

Gong Zhuang carried the water out, clicking his tongue, "Mom, you’re really not holding back, Dad was so good to you, and now that he’s bedridden, you’re so ruthless."

Gong Zhuang realized Zhang Lan’s ruthless nature even more, "Mom, have you thought that if Gong Qiang can treat Dad this way, he could do the same to you one day."

Gong Zhuang really didn’t understand how Zhang Lan, who seemed so shrewd and unwilling to suffer losses, couldn’t see this. Even if their father knew some people, had a decent pension, Gong Qiang treated him heartlessly. When it comes to Zhang Lan, he’d likely be even worse.

"Just shut up, your brother is doing fine." Zhang Lan didn’t like to hear this. "Is there a child as unfilial as you, cursing your mother?"

"Didn’t you do enough making your Dad bedridden, now you’re targeting me."

"Just knew you’re not a good person, always hoping we’d die so you can inherit everything."

"Don’t worry, I won’t die even if you do." Zhang Lan furiously assured she’d live long enough.

Previously restraining herself, not venting at all, Zhang Lan surprisingly fought back. Gong Ruini watched the furious Zhang Lan and genuinely felt she might really live a long time.

"And your brother and his family are more filial than you in so many ways."

"Gong Zhuang, be careful, you might have an even worse life than your father," Zhang Lan bluntly expressed that Gong Zhuang would have it bad when he gets old.

Oh my, are they cursing each other? But these two are truly ruthless, cursing each other like enemies.

"Don’t worry, I’m better at raising kids than you. Look at your most favored son Gong Qiang, if he keeps slacking, soon he won’t even have a job as a gatekeeper, he’ll be cleaning the factory roads," Gong Zhuang couldn’t hold back saying this after Zhang Lan’s hurtful words.

This news shocked everyone; they thought it was a waste for Gong Qiang to be a gatekeeper. Little did they know he couldn’t even secure that, ending up cleaning the roads, a job worse than gatekeeping.

Everyone shook their heads, wondering if the Gong Family had really fallen to such a level. They wouldn’t miss a chance to mock Zhang Lan if the family truly declined.

In the past, when Gong Qiang was promoted, Zhang Lan bragged a lot, mocking neighbors, sure to have enemies.
