Chapter 321: Chapter 321

Impossible, can’t even keep a job as a gatekeeper?

Gong Ruini really wants to see this ambitious uncle. You know, more looked down upon than a gatekeeper job is being a factory cleaner.

The work is heavy, and tasks must be completed regardless of wind and rain, plus the bonus is small. Although gatekeeper bonuses are low too, at least they stay indoors all day.

Gong Qiang is going to be a cleaner? Gong Tao is hearing it for the first time too; why didn’t Gong Zhuang mention it yesterday? Really quite strange.

Gong Zhuang actually caught wind of it much earlier but always thought to bring it up at a critical moment, and of course, wouldn’t say anything to Gong Tao.

Isn’t today a perfect moment? Just unsure how their mom will feel when she hears it, likely disappointed.

Zhang Lan is more than disappointed; she’s practically going insane, "You’re talking nonsense."

Yes, it must be nonsense. Everyone knows Gong Zhuang and Gong Qiang don’t get along; surely all kinds of nonsense are being spread. Originally, Gong Qiang as a gatekeeper was looked down upon, if he becomes a cleaner, Zhang Lan doesn’t know how her face-loving eldest son will feel—probably completely collapsing.

Actually, Zhang Lan is sad more for herself. Can she still go out in the future?

Can she still brag to her girlfriends about her children? None of them are worth boasting about. Must she listen to her friends rave about their kids?

No, it can’t be like that. Zhang Lan has always been someone who values face; how could she stand being out of the spotlight?

"Mom, it’s okay. If big brother doesn’t make it, isn’t there still little brother?"

"I heard he’s about to be promoted back, even higher than before." Don’t be fooled by Gong Zhuang’s happy face about Gong Zheng; it’s not a great feeling inside.

Gong Zhuang never thought Gong Zheng was overly capable; all he did was find a good father-in-law. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⦿fire.net

Though feeling sour inside, Gong Zheng’s dominance is a good thing; it breaks Gong Qiang’s "I’m number one" attitude.

"Seems Gong Zheng’s room has been taken by Gong Xiaoyu, they don’t know where they’ll live once back," Gong Zhuang said worriedly.

Those who hear Gong Zheng’s return would promptly yield the room, but would Gong Xiaoyu?

Raised with a domineering personality from a young age, he definitely wouldn’t be willing to give up such a good room, surely occupying it.

Gong Zheng is being promoted home, he wouldn’t tolerate such a loss of face. If he backs down this time, how could he establish himself in the future?

This is absolutely Gong Zheng’s prime chance to make a strong return; Gong Zhuang is really looking forward to it.

Zhang Lan, upon hearing Gong Zheng is promoted back, felt much better. Though the eldest son is useless, she still has the younger one.

Her younger son is already promoted back, humph. Before, Gong Zheng’s role already overshadowed friends’ kids; now it’s on another level.

But before Zhang Lan could be too happy, she hears words so troubling. What to do?

Last time Gong Zheng left in a huff, and this time if the housing issue isn’t resolved, the in-laws won’t let it slide. Yet it’s not appropriate to let the grandson live in such a small place, especially since Gong Xiaoyu has grown up.

Zhang Lan is really in a dilemma. Gong Zhuang and Gong Tao carry Gong Dajiang to the hospital, Cai Meina follows them with a child in each hand hurriedly.

As for the dazed Zhang Lan, let her keep dazing; indeed, it’s such a difficult choice.

Gong Zhuang turns and sees the conflicted Zhang Lan, feeling very satisfied inside, oh Gong Zheng, trying to return so easily isn’t simple.

Even if Zhang Lan won’t speak of this to Gong Xiaoyu, the neighbors who hear it certainly will.

With Gong Xiaoyu’s dominating temper, would he not flare up? Would he yield the room so easily?

A cheerful Gong Zhuang turned just to see Gong Dajiang opening his eyes, staring directly, scaring him quite a bit.

"Dad, no matter how you’ve supported mom, when you were sick, how did they treat you?"

"Don’t say I’m heartless, compared to what you all did, I’m really not."

"Some things are simply karma, that’s all." Gong Zhuang doesn’t care if these words upset Gong Dajiang, truly none of it is his concern.

With such deep holes in him, how much longer can one endure? Probably knows the answer.

"Though I’m rough, I’m way better than big brother, who keeps calculating your money and doesn’t even care for you properly."

"Second brother is more innocent, but that’s okay. We don’t mind."

Gong Tao just wants to hurry to the hospital; even though Gong Dajiang is skinny enough to be like a ribcage, carrying such weight isn’t a small burden.

Gong Ruini, seeing Gong Zhuang just make sarcastic comments without any action, is annoyed, "Uncle, my dad is tired. Can you help carry him a bit?"

Isn’t he claiming to be filial? At least besides saying a few words, show some action.

Gong Ruwen is rather honest, too, even if disapproving of Gong Zhuang’s behavior, wouldn’t dare be first to speak, but upon hearing his sister, follows suit.

Gong Zhuang really hadn’t considered helping carry Gong Dajiang to the hospital. Not saying the person is heavy, his father’s smell isn’t really bearable either.

Unexpectedly, second brother’s kids suddenly speak out, humph, aren’t they supposed to be quiet as mice? What eyes do their parents have?

No matter how dissatisfied and unwilling Gong Zhuang is, he can only reluctantly lend a hand.

"Second brother, you’re tired too; let me carry some." Gong Zhuang silently prays second brother says he can, so he can shut the kids up.

In the past, Gong Tao would never have allowed it; now, after Zhao Gang’s harsh words, he’s changed a bit, "Sure, carry some. I’m tired too."

It’s not just his father, naturally Gong Zhuang should help. Not working hard just for good reputation is naive.

Second brother actually agreed, how has he changed? Gong Zhuang is stunned, but beyond carrying Gong Dajiang, what else can he do?

Thinking his dad was skinny enough not to be too heavy, but with Gong Tao’s help, as soon as awkwardly he’d barely lifted him, nearly got crushed.

"Oh my gosh, still kind of heavy."

"Should’ve thought of borrowing a cart earlier." Gong Zhuang regrets all kinds of things; why didn’t he think of it before?

Idiot, mentioning carts now, never thought of arranging it before. Just a bunch who can only use little brains, guessing they assumed dad would carry him entirely? Huh, their small plans are finely tuned.

This time let the certain someone experience the fallout of laziness.
