Chapter 338: Chapter 338

Cai Meina said she really couldn’t have a pleasant conversation with Tu Chunni, as her thoughts were always self-centered.

At this moment, Gong Tao stepped out, "If we follow the way you think, Mom, shouldn’t Cai Guoqing have been raised by you two old folks? He should go to the Northeast."

"If he goes to the Northeast, you two won’t have to raise him."

"And Cai Guoqing shouldn’t count on his siblings to support him."

"This way, he can also support his own wife and kids."

"The important thing is to save him from being so utterly lazy." In the past, Gong Tao wouldn’t have meddled in the Cai family’s affairs since he was just the son-in-law.

Even Cai Meina couldn’t change the mindset of the Cai elders, so as an outsider, he shouldn’t get involved. However, what Tu Chunni said was unbearable for Gong Tao.

It was truly unpleasant. Was it necessary to thank Cai Guoqing if Gong Ruini’s health improved?

"You..." Tu Chunni was particularly surprised to see Gong Tao suddenly burst out. Previously, no matter how the Cai family pressured Cai Meina, this son-in-law never said a word.

And now, not only did he stand up, but his words were so unpleasant, leaving Tu Chunni utterly unable to take it in stride.

"Gong Tao, how can you speak about Cai Guoqing like that?" In Tu Chunni’s heart, her eldest son possessed countless good traits, so she couldn’t let outsiders speak ill of Cai Guoqing at all.

"Did I say something wrong?" Gong Tao wasn’t worried about Tu Chunni’s unpleasant expression.

Nowadays, Gong Tao could ignore Zhang Lan’s expression, so why would he care about Tu Chunni’s face?

"You can talk about my Ni Zi, but can’t I talk about your son?"

"Hmph, you pushed your daughter and wanted Cai Ming to go to the black market to trade his rations for money and mail it to you because of that good-for-nothing." Gong Tao, thinking about Cai Ming, far away in the Northeast, couldn’t help but compare himself. Both had biased parents, but the Gong family hadn’t reached that extent yet, while the Cai family seemed to care little. For more chapters visıt novęlfire.net

Wow, knowing that close relatives from both the Gong family and others originally intended to leave after paying their respects, they naturally stayed upon seeing the ruckus here. After all, this was drama from the Cai family.

The town was only so big, and while people may not frequently interact, they were aware of the Cai family’s issues to some extent, but no one expected to hear such crucial news.

Some present frequented the black market, but those trips mostly involved buying things rather than selling rations to exchange for money, which was only resorted to with dire financial need.

Yet, the Cai family dared instigate their youngest son, a youth currently serving as a sent-down youth in the Northeast, to do such a thing. They were seriously ruthless, presuming the young man didn’t need food in the Northeast?

Tu Chunni was dumbfounded, "How... how did you know about this?"

Was it Cai Ming who wrote about it to Cai Meina? That ungrateful child, why wasn’t he choked to death at birth.

Knowing such a letter stirred every bit of trouble and hardship at home, thinking about her dear son sighing all day at home made her furious.

"Was it Cai Ming who told you?" Tu Chunni growled.

Tu Chunni wondered how Cai Ming discovered Cai Meina’s contact address.

"Cai Ming is currently working as an elementary school teacher in our village. You tell me, would I know?" Gong Tao revealed a piece of news that shocked everyone present.

"Mom, you say, how else would we know?"

"Mom, this is too much. It was clearly settled that you wouldn’t bear any costs concerning Cai Ming’s wedding, and he even gave up inheriting the house, leaving everything to Cai Guoqing. How can you make him do this?" Although her younger brother hadn’t explicitly said so, as a sister, wasn’t Cai Ming’s desolation apparent to her?

What, Cai Ming is with Cai Meina? Tu Chunni finally realized why her son strongly desired to go to the Northeast as a sent-down youth; he was planning to find Cai Meina all along.

"You siblings kept this a secret from the family." If she had known earlier, she never would have agreed to let Cai Ming go to the Northeast. See, now the siblings have united, making future exploitation impossible.

Moreover, how did this matter get leaked, reaching so many ears here? If word spread, how could the Cai family hold its head high anymore?

No, she needed a way to solve this, or there would be no way to show her face in public later, "There was no money sent, that’s not it. Cai Ming never sold any grain." Tu Chunni kept explaining that they hadn’t received any money.

Gong Ruini found this hilarious, urging her to explain she’d never written such a letter, not make such a declaration, which only proved the letter’s legitimacy.

Sigh, such a wit level truly concerned her, Gong Ruini stood listening from the side and almost wanted to wipe cold sweat, really not an average pig teammate, more like a particular pit-fallen teammate.

Everyone present laughed heartily, enjoying the spectacle.

"Yeah, there’s absolutely no way money was sent. Is your four-person wage not sufficient to feed six people?"

"How much work points does Cai Ming earn, and doesn’t he need food for himself?"

"Why should he starve himself to feed his nephew while the nephew’s father loafs around at home?" Cai Meina bluntly pointed out that Cai Guoqing was lazy and unwilling to work.

Ah, Cai Guoqing doesn’t work? Gong Ruini was deeply shocked. Isn’t this a time of mutual scheming against one another?

For such a clear case of cheating state benefits, no one reported him? Truly curious.

Could her daughter really know about these things? Tu Chunni wanted to know how Cai Meina was aware.

"Did you go snooping?" Humph, knowing this daughter had every flaw imaginable, and even resorted to investigating.

"Did this need investigation? I heard it from Uncle." Cai Meina unhesitatingly threw her uncle under the bus.

If Tu Chunni hadn’t truly lost her mind, she would never offend her uncle, for fear of enraging him and losing his support entirely.

Big brother said it? Tu Chunni heard even her brother talking, and despite her many grievances, she swallowed them down.

"Uncle wants me to advise you to let Cai Guoqing get a job." Cai Meina knew her uncle wished for her to counsel her two brothers and make them yield a bit as well.

The issue was whether Cai Guoqing would yield, which seemed impossible.

There was no way Cai Ming would yield either, as some things once accustomed to yielding, would demand yielding in every instance, otherwise unreasonable accusations would follow.

Her big brother was consistently a busybody, Tu Chunni rolled her eyes, "Did your uncle have any better ideas than to mind your brother? Might as well help your brother find an easier, well-paying job."

Ha-ha-ha-ha, really outlandish demands, Gong Ruini wanted to unreservedly question Comrade Tu Chunni if Cai Guoqing possessed any outstanding talents for such confidence.

Only Cai Guoqing mattered to the Cai elders; otherwise, outsiders would consider him a piece of useless waste.
