Chapter 339: Chapter 339
Gong Qiang knows he’s quite shameless, and his ambitions are sky-high.
Even though the past year has been tough, relying heavily on his parents, it’s nothing like Cai Guoqing’s situation.
After over a year of trials, Gong Qiang learned his limits, as long as he doesn’t cross them, he’s fine. Sadly, Cai Guoqing dreams of soaring high.
This total mess, how could there be a chance to shine, let alone soar?
"Mom, you wait patiently." Cai Meina really didn’t know how to comment, realizing even Gong Qiang kept admiring Cai Guoqing’s shamelessness.
"I know what you’re thinking, isn’t it just that there’s too much? When National Day was studying, his grades were great."
Tu Chunni feels awful thinking about how her son’s future was ruined, "If National Day continued his studies, he should be a college student, then working in an office."
The salary of frontline workers is high, but it’s also very tough, Tu Chunni couldn’t bear her son suffering.
Moreover, working in an office means frequent encounters with big leaders who, if impressed, could change one’s future for the better.
If he’d kept studying, would he really get into college? My gosh, watching Tu Chunni show no signs of uneasiness, Gong Ruini could only say city people sure know how to play.
Back in the Northeast, Cai Ming often complained about Gong Qiang’s grades, which were really trashy.
If it weren’t for the movement, a lot of teachers were overthrown for re-education, questioning whether Cai Guoqing could obtain a junior high diploma was an issue.
"Don’t laugh, National Day really has a junior high diploma," Tu Chunni defends proudly, "Few these days even have a junior high diploma."
No matter what people think of the Cai Family, about Cai Guoqing’s overconfidence, Tu Chunni’s point stands, it’s rare to actually become a junior high graduate nowadays.
Everyone put aside their smiles, not because they acknowledged Cai Guoqing as a junior high graduate, but fearing Tu Chunni might erupt again.
"Hmm, a junior high graduate resting at home not working," Gong Tao coolly commented, wondering why his mother-in-law keeps boasting about such a flimsy achievement.
Predictably, Cai Guoqing growing up, only received this one certificate, so it must be celebrated thoroughly.
After scanning the room and seeing everyone stop mocking her son, Tu Chunni finally withdrew her gaze with satisfaction.
"That’s because someone is supporting him without outsiders having to worry."
"A son-in-law should recognize his role, not think he can meddle in other families’ affairs." Oh, thinking just because he gives some money, he’s something special, thinking he can climb over us?
No way, no matter the family conditions, there’s no room for his interference.
Meddling in others’ affairs really got Tu Chunni angered, "I don’t have time to interfere in others’ business."
"Grandma, then why do you interfere in my family’s business?" Gong Ruini asked bewildered.
"Earlier you kept telling mom not to spend money on my treatment, saying I was going to die anyway."
"You even said feeding me is a waste since I’m bound to leave eventually."
"You said it’s better to give the money to uncle."
"Grandma, I don’t understand, you’re bound to die too, so why do you eat?"
"Are you not planning to go to the hospital when sick, keeping all the money for uncle?" Hmph, really thought I was sitting there stupidly just listening to your chatter?
This is my chance to counter-argue, and you dug yourself into this pit, Gong Ruini was thrilled.
Is this still a child? Some relatives couldn’t help but marvel at Gong Tao having such a fierce daughter; they wondered if Gong Ruini might have gone too far, considering Tu Chunni is her grandmother.
"Well, well, I was just joking," Tu Chunni could almost strangle Gong Ruini, really feels like everyone was born to infuriate her.
Gong Tao listened with dissatisfaction, unhappy with his mother-in-law’s stuttering.
Gong Tao glared at Tu Chunni, "Whether it was a joke, you know very well. Before we left, didn’t you say these things often?" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on n0velfire.net
He didn’t forget to glance at Zhang Lan, it’s not only Tu Chunni who thinks this way, even Zhang Lan does.
Watching the drama unfold made Zhang Lan enjoy herself, conflict and chaos do not involve her.
From Zhang Lan’s perspective, the more intense the better, allowing her to thoroughly vent, although she didn’t expect Gong Tao to suppress Tu Chunni so effectively,
Hmph, not just suppressing Tu Chunni, foolishly dragging her in, truly over the top.
Quickly Zhang Lan restrained her smile, can’t let relatives see her current demeanor.
Zhang Lan thought well but acted slightly slow, several relatives saw and shook their heads, despite Gong Family’s downfall, Zhang Lan still sparking inner conflict, wondered what she thinks.
"A married daughter is like spilled water, mom, remember this clearly, not just when it doesn’t benefit you."
"When seeking our help, suddenly daughters and sons are equal, raising you to expect filial piety and such."
"Initially, we planned to visit the two elders, but seems unnecessary. Mom, you’re healthy, Mei Na, give mom one yuan, we won’t buy things visiting you." Coming back without offering anything won’t sit well.
"My father just passed away, still mourning, we won’t visit right now but will in the future." Gong Tao spoke politely.
Hmph, next visit only if family facing another funeral, otherwise who’d willingly return from the Northeast just to endure harassment.
What, only one yuan? What use is such a meager amount, hearing that, Tu Chunni resisted being dismissed with one yuan, of course, aiming to bargain for more.
Miao Cuihua at the side felt displeased, "Isn’t one yuan still good, second brother farmed in the Northeast earning only so much a year."
"Daughters in matrimony who don’t honor their parents during New Year aren’t unheard of."
Miao Cuihua, daughter of a butcher, found Tu Chunni distasteful, thinking had she not allied with Gong Qiang, would they have driven Gong Tao’s family to the Northeast?
If not driven there, life would remain prosperous, but now, Gong Tao’s family became fierce.
And with that, amid people’s criticism, Tu Chunni slunk away, leaving Cai Meina relieved.
Otherwise, if prolonged, might really become uncontrollable.
Gong Ruini brimming with joy, otherwise knowing she’d soon face Tu Chunni again made her worry about accidentally punching her.
Indeed, Tu Chunni’s conduct was shady, always scheming to gain advantage, how could such benefits happen.
