Dong Li sat foolishly at the table alone, "How could he just die."
Dong Li was really about to go crazy. If Gong Dajiang hadn’t died, she could still have so hope of going back, but now that Gong Dajiang was dead, the Gong Family had no need for her.
Don’t think that Dong Li always says how useless Gong Qiang is, but she knows that it’s hard to find a man like Gong Qiang.
Which family would tolerate a daughter-in-law who gives all her earnings to her own family? More importantly, Dong Li understands that staying at her family’s ho for a day or two is fine, but if she stays too long, there will be gossip.
Mrs. Dong, Zhang Pandi, was also quite shocked that Gong Dajiang just passed away, "Does that an the monthly pension is gone?"
"That’s a lot of money." Zhang Pandi was actually concerned that her daughter wouldn’t be able to bring more money back to her family in the future.
Zhang Pandi sincerely hoped that Gong Dajiang would live a few more years. As long as this big tree was around, the Gong Family would have good days.
If the Gong Family had good days, then the Old Dong Family would also have good days.
The more Zhang Pandi thought about it, the angrier she got, "Couldn’t you take good care of your father-in-law?"
"If you had taken a little better care of him, how could he have died?"
"He had only been bedridden for a few years. Many people have been bedridden for ten or eight years, and they’re still doing well." Zhang Pandi really couldn’t understand how he could die so early.
It must be like her brother-in-law said, because he wasn’t well taken care of.
Thinking about this made her angry, "If you had just taken good care of Gong Dajiang, would it have co to this?"
"Your sister-in-law is pregnant again, and that requires money." Zhang Pandi was understandably anxious; a daughter-in-law’s pregnancy is a good thing, but after becoming pregnant, the daughter-in-law needs nutritional supplents, which requires more spending.
Thinking about her empty wallet, "By the way, do you have any money left?"
Dong Li said to her mother, feeling all dizzy, "Didn’t I give you money at the beginning of the month? How is it all gone?"
How could so little money be enough? Zhang Pandi knew she couldn’t offend her daughter, or she would definitely get a cold shoulder, hmph, a fool who can’t even keep her man in line.
"Your brother took so, and then your sister-in-law needs to supplent her body..." Zhang Pandi awkwardly explained where the money went. Her daughter had previously told her that her son was a big spender and repeatedly warned her not to give him too much money, but Zhang Pandi just couldn’t bear to see her son suffer.
Dong Li was really about to go crazy, "Didn’t I tell you not to give him money? If you do, he’ll just waste it."
Dong Mingrui wobbled in from outside and heard what Dong Li said, and was unhappy, "Sis, what do you an by that? Why do you say I’ll waste money?"
Dong Mingrui was already in a bad mood, and hearing his sister belittle him like that made him unable to hold back his anger.
"If I waste money, then I need money to waste. Soon, let’s not say I spend money; we’ll all have nowhere to live." As he thought of the news he heard, Dong Mingrui beca more and more upset.
What, nowhere to live? What does that an? Zhang Pandi was stunned, "You haven’t lost our big house, have you?"
Zhang Pandi was about to cry. Her son, really, sigh, other people’s sons might be disappointing, but not so bad as this. How did her son end up like this? Zhang Pandi felt she must be so unlucky.
How does it seem like whenever sothing happens, the first reaction is to bla him? Is he really that kind of person?
"It’s my good brother-in-law, our good in-laws. They have indeed planned to take our house." Although Dong Mingrui was a bit of a rogue, he knew that if they lost this house, he would have to move back to his hotown, which he didn’t want to do at all.
What, the Gong Family really plans to do that? Zhang Pandi was a bit worried, but soon she wasn’t. "Your brother-in-law might seem tough, but isn’t your sister there?"
"Wasn’t the last ti really tense, but what happened in the end?"
"You should know your brother-in-law was about to go clean the roads of the factory. Your sister is at least in the labor departnt. If pushed, she could just divorce him."
Thinking back to last ti, didn’t Gong Qiang act all fierce, but what happened in the end? When her lovely daughter ntioned divorce, didn’t that fool Gong Qiang obediently take Dong Li back ho without a word?
"No rush, this ti they’re just trying to force your sister to co back." Zhang Pandi beca more and more convinced that this was the Gong Family’s tactic.
"You should know that your sister is the eldest daughter-in-law. With the father-in-law gone, of course the eldest daughter-in-law has to co out to handle things." Zhang Pandi thought this was just the Gong Family’s way of making Dong Li co back.
It’s not that easy, "Dong Li, I’m telling you, you go to work at the factory tomorrow. No matter who from the Gong Family cos to you, don’t give in."
Dong Li certainly wouldn’t give in. Thinking about yesterday when she was taught a lesson and kicked out by Gong Qiang, she still rembered that scene.
"If I just go back like that, anyone from the Gong Family could walk all over . I will not be soft-hearted."
"I want the Gong Family to know, from now on, I’m the one in charge of the house. Even if Zhang Lan is my mother-in-law, she’s going to have to take a back seat."
"The sisters-in-law, the younger brothers-in-law, they all have to listen to , and rember to bring good things back ho for respect." Dong Li couldn’t let this opportunity slip, lest after Zhang Lan passed, no one would pay attention to her.
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Pandi knew that her daughter had ideas and wouldn’t be so easily tricked back by Gong Qiang.
"Sis, if possible, get hold of the IOU." Dong Mingrui was worried about the IOU; if the Gong Family really took it out later as evidence, they would be in serious trouble.
Does a brother have to say this? Dong Li had always been thinking about the IOU, "I’ve looked around the house before, but I couldn’t find it. Okay, this ti, once I find it, I’ll destroy it imdiately."
The Dong Family discussed all sorts of things. Once the Gong Family asked for Dong Li, the eldest daughter-in-law, to go back to handle the funeral of Gong Dajiang, they should make the Gong Family pay up, while the three brothers of the Gong Family were discussing how to make the Gong Family repay the debt.
Of course, representing Gong Qiang in the discussions was Gong Xiaoyu. Even though he was a grandson to the Dong family, Gong Xiaoyu proudly declared that he wouldn’t side with the Dong family, "Paying back debts is a matter of course."
"Yes, yes, you should have this attitude." Gong Zhuang felt overjoyed inside. The matter of debt collecting should be handled by Gong Xiaoyu so the Dong Family could see how their grandson applied pressure.
"Don’t worry, Dong Mingrui might seem tall and strong, but he’s just an empty bamboo shoot, without real strength. Just a little bit of toughness will do." Regarding his uncle, Gong Xiaoyu had nothing but disdain, and his words were full of criticism.
"In any case, just watch. As soon as grandpa’s funeral is settled, we’ll go collect the debt." If grandpa weren’t lying right next to them, Gong Xiaoyu would have loved to go to the Dong Family in the middle of the night to demand what was owed.
They owed so much debt. How could they not work hard to get the money?
