Chapter 160: Good News or Trouble?
No matter how much Zhang Lan confirms or endlessly nags about Gong Qiang definitely sending them money.
But the so-called remittance never arrives, and just when Zhang Lan thinks perhaps the telegram hasn’t been received, a letter from their youngest son, Gong Zheng, arrives late.
When Zhang Lan received the letter, she thought it was written by Gong Qiang through Gong Zheng to ensure Gong Tao doesn’t find out.
Excitedly, Zhang Lan opened the letter quickly, but her face clouded over in an instant.
Gong Ruini, taking advantage of her youth, and knowing Zhang Lan might not care, hurried over to take a look and was immediately pleased.
She always knew that there were no good people in the Gong Family, and before receiving any money, even before getting that ginseng, Gong Zheng showed up, talking about how hard he’s working and his struggle to get promoted without connections.
Although he spoke subtly, the purpose of the letter became clear towards the end, which is the main point of this letter.
That is, the telegram to his elder brother has already been received, and he’s quite happy about it; Gong Zheng hinted to Zhang Lan not to only have Gong Qiang in her eyes, not to only help him obtain items to curry favor with his superiors.
It really is a family dispute triggered by a single ginseng; even without mentioning how many times Zhang Lan and her husband have been troubled over this, even Gong Qiang and Gong Zheng brothers are starting to make a fuss.
Arguing, arguing, let’s see how Zhang Lan chooses. It’s not that she doesn’t like Gong Zheng, it’s just that Gong Qiang is the promising eldest son.
Gong Ruini remembers that it’s been publicly stated that Gong Zheng is doing well at his job, plus he’s married to his boss’s daughter, so his future prospects are naturally good.
However, in these times, rising up can’t rely solely on a father-in-law’s help, especially since he has a son; why would he help you, the son-in-law?
