Chapter 326: Chapter 326

Gong Qiang arrived at the hospital, not even steady in his seat yet.

"Big brother, did you manage to get any money today?"

"Right, that money belongs to our parents, doesn’t it? There should be funds there that second brother gave them last year for their next ten years of old-age care, right?"

"I never understood before why our parents, with their retirement pensions, insisted that second brother contribute money; turns out it was to support your in-laws."

"You shamelessly asked for that money, second brother practically sold you out, the whole family went to the Northeast."

Third uncle actually wants to help him get justice? Gong Ruini was really surprised, but anyway, as long as her family doesn’t have to get involved, she just listened.

What’s up with this third son, why is he siding with the second brother? Gong Qiang didn’t understand, what kind of situation is this?

"Second brother’s not worried, why are you, third brother, so anxious?" Gong Qiang never took Gong Zheng seriously, even if he had to sweep floors next. At least he was the eldest son in the family.

"It’s not that I’m not worried, it’s that I’m angry. Mom said there wasn’t enough money at home, told me to show filial piety, but it turns out big brother wants to take it to support your mother-in-law. But you can’t let your wife treat Dad ." Gong Tao was furious.

"I give fifty a year in filial piety, not little, right? My previous annual salary wasn’t much, if each of our four brothers gave fifty each year, that’s two hundred a year, enough to hire someone to take care of Dad, but look at what your wife has done."

"Such a big hole, acting like it’s not there, if I hadn’t seen it today, how long would you have kept it a secret?" Hmph, did you really think that money was that easy to take?

"I’ve thought about it, if your wife doesn’t take care of it, and Mom doesn’t have the strength, isn’t the Dong family in debt? Let them send someone to take care of Dad as repayment."

"Or you can go to the Dong family parents’ workplace, find their leader, and make them repay monthly."

"You could partition the house to rent out." Gong Tao thought it wasn’t hard to get the Dong family to pay back, after all, he couldn’t get that money anyway, might as well make it easier, saving Zhang Lan from constantly complaining about how tired she is taking care of the old man every day.

Having the Dong family take care of the old man, wouldn’t that mean they can’t get the money? Gong Zhuang was really a bit reluctant, knowing that he wanted the Dong family’s house.

Gong Zhuang’s calculations were quite savvy, but would the Dong family agree? "The Dong family only has one house, if there’s no house, where will they live?"

"Become homeless? Wouldn’t they cause trouble at home?" Give them some leeway without causing too much commotion, if things go too far, the Dong family might just utterly smash things up, which would be a disadvantage.

Cause trouble at home? Gong Zhuang wasn’t worried; after all, he didn’t live at home.

"Life for our parents is difficult, what if something happens?" Gong Tao cared even less because he didn’t live there, planning to leave for the Northeast once it was resolved.

Old father was just kind-hearted, Gong Zhuang made clear he wanted the house, as for how the Gong family would make trouble, he didn’t care, once things escalated, the unfortunate one would still be Gong Qiang.

"Don’t let them take care of it, they wouldn’t take good care of Dad, they’d only make him angry." Gong Qiang also disagreed with having the Dong family send someone to take care of Gong Dajiang, "They have a house back in their hometown, not like they have no house, just let them get lost."

Today at the Dong family’s, Gong Qiang took a lot of abuse, he was determined to let the Dong family suffer a little, otherwise, they’d really think they could flaunt their pride. "They even told me how great Dong Li is, and asked me to apologize."

"They even said I could bring Dong Li back if I tore up the IOU." With just that wife, Gong Qiang had long tired of her attitudes, knowing if they got enough money, he could just marry another wife, why bother with Dong Li’s moods?

Since everyone had that idea, Gong Tao didn’t say a word, if they all wanted money, let them have money, and when Gong Dajiang couldn’t take it, Zhang Lan complained, he wouldn’t care anymore.

What, tear up the IOU, Gong Zhuang was displeased, "Big brother, you can’t listen to the Dong family, without the IOU, no matter what Dong Li wants, you can only roll your eyes."

"I mean, since Dong Li isn’t good enough to her parents, let’s just switch wives." Gong Zhuang kept urging Gong Qiang to change wives.

Is changing wives really a good idea? Gong Ruini looked at Gong Zhuang’s ’I’m doing this for you’ face, realizing what lengths he’d go to not let his money go to waste, even urging Gong Qiang toward divorce.

Even if Dong Li wasn’t great, as a brother-in-law, he didn’t need to come forward and stir things up.

Gong Ruini yawned, alright, after being busy for so long, her little body was really getting worn out, previously on the road, worried about whether Gong Dajiang would make it, not expecting him to be weak but holding on; who knew how long this time would last.

Shortly after leaving the Northeast, Gong Ruini found life quite tough, always feeling that it was cold, the bed always damp.

Most importantly, there wasn’t any meat at meals, which was why Gong Ruini hadn’t adjusted.

Watching Gong Qiang and Gong Zhuang chatting lively, Gong Tao couldn’t understand, saying, "Let them continue discussing, whether Gong Qiang divorces, and who he marries later, has nothing to do with me, the ones who should be worried are Gong Xiaoyu and them."

Seeing Gong Ruini constantly rubbing her eyes, Gong Tao asked, "Do you want to go back and sleep?"

"Dad, I’m fine." Gong Ruini still wanted to hold on for a while, sigh, just had to give Gong Tao face.

See, previously having opinions about Gong Qiang, Gong Zhuang wasn’t chatting enthusiastically, it proved a point: with options comes authority, there’s nothing in this world that can’t be resolved, as long as the money’s right.

"It’s alright, you all go back, if they want to cause trouble, let them, I won’t participate." Gong Tao considered Gong Zhuang’s actions normal, all for money.

Cai Meina also felt tired, "Then I’ll bring you food later."

"Okay, just bring some steamed buns." Gong Tao didn’t think Gong Zhuang’s household would bring food, as for Zhang Lan’s side, it wasn’t even worth thinking about, "Forget it, we’ll buy some steamed buns, I have food stamps."

"Just take good care of the two kids." A daughter-in-law, Miao Cuihua wouldn’t come either, why should his wife be busy everywhere.

Just one daughter-in-law in the hospital, taking care of the old man shouldn’t fall on his own wife. Others don’t care for one’s wife, but Gong Tao couldn’t neglect his own wife.

Chatted for a while, "Right, second brother, let sister-in-law check if Dad needs to pee." Otherwise, if he wets the bed, the nurses will complain.

"Take Ni Zi and them back, they haven’t rested well all day, with us three brothers here, we can still take care of Dad." See, he’s counting on it now, Gong Tao couldn’t help but be grateful; good thing his wife was going home, or else, he’d just be another one with a laborious fate.

Leaving so easily, wasn’t his second brother a bit excessive? Gong Zhuang kept muttering to himself.

"When’s Cuihua coming to the hospital?" Gong Tao’s question shut Gong Zhuang up, better to criticize others after looking at one’s own actions.
