Chapter 325: Chapter 325

Gong Qiang dragged his exhausted body, ready to go home and rest. Today was all kinds of tiring, so tiring that he just wanted to find a place to rest well.

However, Gong Qiang always felt the surrounding neighbors were acting strange today, pointing and whispering at him. What was going on?

Could it be that all the neighbors knew about his divorce with Dong Li? But no need to look at him like that.

Gong Qiang returned home, "Mom, what’s wrong?"

Ever since Gong Tao and the others left, Zhang Lan maintained a position. Upon hearing Gong Qiang’s voice, "Qiangzi, did you get the money?"

Not asking would have been better. Asking made Gong Qiang quite furious. "No, the Dong family is just a mangy dog."

"Absolutely disgusting. By the way, Mom, is there anything to eat?" After causing a scene at the Dong family all day, Gong Qiang was quite hungry.

"No, oh, and your clothes were thrown away by Gong Zhuang." Zhang Lan said melancholically. She really wanted to ask Gong Qiang about his work but seeing her eldest son’s tired look, she felt embarrassed to ask.

What, thrown away by Gong Zhuang? His clothes? "How could they be thrown away, weren’t they supposed to be washed by Cai Meina?" Gong Qiang was anxious. His family was not rich, especially winter clothes, which needed cotton.

Is cotton so easy to come by?

"Cai Meina is impossible to wash your clothes. They said there wasn’t such a good brotherly relationship with you."

"Gong Zhuang heard about the IOU and ran away early this morning." After Zhang Lan rambled on, "That Gong Zhuang said you’re going to clean up?"

"Gong Zhuang says Gong Zheng is coming back with a promotion?" Right now, the last thing Gong Qiang wanted to hear was someone getting promoted; it was a blatant mockery of him.

"Yeah, heard they’re just waiting for the transfer order, and Gong Zheng is coming back to live in his room," Zhang Lan whispered. She noticed Gong Xiaoyu didn’t come back with them, otherwise, she wouldn’t have said anything.

"What, Uncle’s coming back, then where will eldest brother live?" Gong Xinyu’s first reaction upon hearing his uncle was returning was about his elder brother’s situation.

It’s not that Gong Xinyu had brotherly love but if Gong Zheng moved in, his big brother would have to share a room with him, something Gong Xinyu didn’t want. He hated his big brother.

Hated his brother’s domineering nature, hated how his brother would snatch away anything good.

"Where could I live if not at home?" Gong Xiaoyu returned home to hear his brother discussing where he was staying. Was this a problem?

"Uncle is coming back soon, big brother, you’ll have nowhere to stay." Gong Peipei didn’t have much affection for this big brother either; he would take all the good things for himself, leaving the work for them, even the money had to be taken by him. No wonder Gong Peipei was angry. Googlᴇ search novel✦fire.net

What, Gong Zheng was coming back? Gong Xiaoyu was shocked, "Isn’t he out of town?"

"Also, didn’t he defiantly say he didn’t plan to come back?"

"If he’s so capable, he shouldn’t come back." Gong Xiaoyu loved his current room, it wasn’t just big but had new furniture; it felt really comfortable living there.

"Uncle got promoted back, of course, he’s coming back." Gong Lili was also shocked, didn’t expect Uncle to climb up so quickly.

The most heartbreaking for the children of the Gong family was that Gong Zheng got promoted while Gong Tao got demoted, soon to become a cleaner, alas.

But Gong Xinyu was quite happy, after all, his dad’s job was practically his big brother’s. Dad’s job was good, so his big brother would benefit in all sorts of ways, and now with dad becoming a cleaner, Old Ge would go as well, how could he not feel good.

Gong Xiaoyu was shocked, "Dad, weren’t you a gatekeeper?" Gong Xiaoyu truly despised his dad’s job, didn’t expect it could get even worse.

Thinking about having to go to the factory to sweep, how could Gong Xiaoyu feel happy, "If the family had money back then, I wouldn’t be ."

He should have long been a school leader in the factory, with no worries about money, really spending freely, having face while going out, but what to do now.

"Dad, you can’t be doing this poorly." Gong Xinyu was dissatisfied, "Didn’t you say you were capable?"

Gong Qiang was shocked. How did his mom know? No, how did Gong Zhuang know?

Gong Qiang really didn’t understand how such an idiot could know so much.

Gong Qiang didn’t argue back nor cursed at Gong Zhuang. Everyone present understood each other’s displeasure.

"Alright, your dad’s hospitalized, go to the hospital." Zhang Lan had already made her choice and decision deep down.

But she still needed to calm down, let her mood settle.

What, Dad’s hospitalized? Humph, Gong Zhuang must have angered him again. Gong Qiang expressed he must teach Gong Zhuang a lesson, never met such a disgusting brother.

"They know your dad’s secret," Zhang Lan reminded. If she hadn’t said this, her eldest son would definitely not understand the situation and take on Gong Zhuang directly.

Given the situation, Zhang Lan really didn’t want to escalate things, or it would be disadvantageous for Gong Zheng. She couldn’t let Gong Qiang, this fool, ruin it for their only standout son.

"Oh, Xiao Yu, since your uncle is coming back, find some time to tidy the room," Zhang Lan thought about not saying it temporarily but figured it would have to be said sooner or later, no need to delay.

What, moving back to live? Gong Xiaoyu was incredulous, "Grandma, you want me to switch rooms?"

Compared to switching rooms, Gong Xiaoyu was more surprised that his grandma might not support him like she used to, causing him great anxiety.

He truly couldn’t imagine how he would fare without Zhang Lan’s support, at least he wouldn’t have money; his poor dad was reliant on getting money from Zhang Lan, how could he have money to give him.

And how would he continue to charge around acting as the household boss, fearing one day the family’s old boss would be Gong Zheng’s son? That little brat was still so young, expected to lead him in the future?

This was unimaginable, Gong Xiaoyu couldn’t fathom answering to a diaper-wearing brat, it was absolutely apocalyptic.

Humph, they want him to leave, he won’t go just to see what Gong Zheng will do, "Grandma, I’m not moving, let’s see who can force me out."

Gong Xiaoyu huffed angrily, glaring continuously at Zhang Lan.

Gong Qiang was also displeased. Although Zhang Lan hadn’t explicitly said anything, her request for Gong Xiaoyu to give up the room showed her stance, deeply hurting Gong Qiang.

"Mom, did you choose the younger one?"

"I know I’m useless, but Xiao Yu is different; he’s your favorite grandson." Gong Qiang knew his popularity, but it didn’t matter, Xiao Yu was still there.

Looking at the two pitiful faces, how could Zhang Lan not feel sad? But she must remain firm, having offended Gong Zheng once, she couldn’t let him be unhappy again over this, or their relationship would never heal.
