Chapter 360: Chapter 360
Gong Ruini just wanted to say that there were definitely hidden issues here. Dong Li was so calculating, she didn’t even leave a meal for their family when they visited.
The reason being that their family of four would eat food, would use money.
With such a small amount of money, Dong Li could calculate so meticulously, it’s impossible for her not to count the larger sums.
But she couldn’t figure out the purpose of the Dong family’s actions, "Did Uncle do something bad, and there’s something they have on him?"
Gong Qiang is just a fool. If he really made a mistake, would he have told Dong Li, and then Dong Li would let him off?
Thinking of this, Gong Tao’s face turned pale immediately, "Could it be that this is the Dong family’s idea?"
If the Gong Family presses them step by step, really pushing the Dong family into a corner, they might actually end up reporting Gong Qiang.
At that time, Gong Qiang would definitely be in trouble. As for the others, it’s unknown whether Dong Li knows a thing or two.
"We shouldn’t have done anything, right?" Cai Meina also got anxious. Previously, the Dong family was pressuring them to repay a debt, and then the matter of Gong Qiang’s divorce; Cai Meina didn’t care about these things, they had nothing to do with her.
But she was worried that Dong Li would really report them like a madwoman, and that was no joke.
"What do we have against us? If there was evidence, they wouldn’t have sold me out last time."
"And all I took were some benefits that the factory issued. If Dong Li reports blindly, wouldn’t Gong Zhuang take action?" Gong Tao said this, but his face was rather serious.
If the Dong family really did this, it’s not just an ordinary ruthless act, "In that case, things should be given to Gong Zhuang slowly."
What, not giving things to Gong Zhuang? Cai Meina knew that at this critical moment, being cautious was the only way, as they couldn’t risk getting caught in the crossfire. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
"It’s fine, I’ll mail him a little bit at first, and then subtly mention it." Gong Tao had no choice; he could give everything to Gong Zhuang at once, but worried that the boy would act immediately after receiving it.
If someone was watching, it would become really interesting, and they wouldn’t need to find evidence as it would be like knocking on their own door.
Gong Ruini felt that the Gong Family was a case of being self-destructive because there were always more matters arising, and it’s uncertain whether they would implicate them.
Fortunately, it was already the spring of ’76, and the campaign would end in about half a year, and all those proactive elements jumping around now would be held accountable then.
Just not sure when Dong Li and them would take action, and unsure when those autumn grasshoppers would move.
If they ran into those proactive elements who quickly rushed to the Northeast to inquire, something might really happen.
Gong Ruini returned to the room with a pale face, scaring Zhao Xuran.
Zhao Xuran quickly supported Gong Ruini, "Ni Zi, are you alright?"
Why in the blink of an eye did Ni Zi’s face turn so pale, what happened?
It seemed like they heard the postman just now, could it be?
"Did the Gong Family send a letter?" Gong Ruwen seeing his sister’s pale face, knew that other than something happening back in their hometown, there was no other possibility.
"Or was it the Cai Family?" Cai Ming also put down his textbook and looked at Gong Ruini.
Although there had been no news these days, some so-called proactive elements were not as active and eager as before, and even the overall atmosphere didn’t feel as tense as before.
This definitely indicated that there had been some changes in the leadership above, otherwise why would these people become so well-behaved.
Thinking that there might be an end to the campaign, Cai Ming became variously excited; after all, if the college entrance examination resumed, it would be unexpected, so Cai Ming was even more unwilling to give up studying.
Although uncertain if this day would come, being prepared in advance was always good, better than being caught off guard when hearing about the resumption, and then being completely dumbfounded.
"Not the Cai Family." Their uncle had absolutely no good feelings towards the Cai Family, "It was the Gong Family."
Gong Ruini didn’t know if Gong Tao would expose Gong Zhuang, so she skipped that part and just talked about Gong Qiang and Dong Li’s divorce.
Oh, no way, Dong Li actually divorced Uncle? Gong Ruwen knew in his heart that Gong Qiang would definitely divorce Dong Li, because Uncle had already been persuaded by Uncle Three until he was dizzy, plus everyone knew Dong Li handed her money over to her maiden family, resulting in various cold shoulders towards her.
But was getting a divorce really so easy in this day and age?
"Did Aunty really agree?"
"And what about the Dong family’s debts?" Gong Ruwen always thought that the Dong family wouldn’t want to repay the money, nor would they want Dong Li to divorce. This way, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gong Family, she could try to extend the debt repayment, or simply not repay it.
Why would they suddenly agree to a divorce and also be willing to repay the debt?
"I got it, the Dong family has money." Zhao Guangran surmised this was the only possibility.
Whether the Dong family had money, Gong Ruwen didn’t know, but even if they did, they wouldn’t be willing to take it out for repayment. The Dong family seemed unwilling to repay this sum of money.
"There must be a problem." Gong Ruwen considered for a moment and indicated there was definitely a problem.
Gosh, Gong Ruini listening to her brother’s serious response, was also variously impressed. Anyone with a bit of a brain knew there had to be a problem, why did her brother need to summarize it with such a statement.
"Do you know why Aunty would do this?" Gong Ruini asked without reservation.
Gong Ruwen shrugged, indicating he didn’t know, "Actually, I think Dong Li wouldn’t do much, I remember Gong Xiaoyu mentioning Dong Mingrui as someone who often did bad things."
"If Uncle really got provoked, and then reported them, what do you think would happen?" Gong Ruwen felt as long as the Dong family had some brains, they wouldn’t do something so foolish.
Uh, yes, the Gong family’s rear end isn’t clean, but is the Dong family’s rear end clean?
Need to know the Gong family’s precious son has created no major havoc, but often committed minor mischief, otherwise the Dong family wouldn’t have been put into this situation.
"Aunty isn’t that foolish, she might have other arrangements."
"And if this really gets blown out of proportion, it shouldn’t have anything to do with our family." Gong Ruwen felt those people wouldn’t have the leisure to come to the Northeast to investigate.
"Originally it was because our father made a mistake, that he came to the Northeast, what further investigation could there be." Those who were already undergoing reeducation, flipping through those old accounts wouldn’t be of use.
Gong Ruini thought so too, it wasn’t like Gong Tao was gonna dine for free, though things were still a bit chaotic, public security, prosecution, and the courts were no longer without order, and they followed the law a bit more.
Thinking of this made Gong Ruini feel more at ease. If something were to truly happen, they would make preparations then; worrying now was just needless concern.
"Focus on your studies." Gong Ruini picked up the book and began to read intently.
Gong Ruini had never spent much time on her studies before; she always felt that even without reading, she could achieve good grades, but she had not expected this test to be quite challenging.
Although she still performed well, it gave Gong Ruini quite a scare. If she continued to slack off, she could end up like Zhao Guangran is today.
Gong Ruini was really curious why this test’s difficulty was increased. Oh, poor Zhao Guangran.
This time’s grades were really exceptionally disastrous.
