Chapter 161: Processing Result
"Dinner’s ready." As soon as Gong Dajiang finished speaking, Gong Tao began to call for dinner.
Zhang Lan peeked at the dishes, "We’re eating just this?"
"There’s not much food left, and with farm work looming, we need to save some for when we have to do hard labor," Gong Tao said bluntly.
"We don’t just have nothing, we’re also in significant debt, so we have to save wherever we can," Gong Tao continued, then bluntly asked, "Dad, we’ve sent so many telegrams, why hasn’t the money been sent over yet?"
"I saw the postman deliver a letter today," Gong Tao added tactfully, not directly saying it was a letter from Gong Zheng.
Naturally, he didn’t want the old lady to tie this matter back to Gong Ruini.
But honestly, Gong Tao was overthinking it. In Zhang Lan’s eyes, she didn’t believe Gong Ruini could read, much less understand a letter their youngest son had written her.
Zhang Lan was secretly angry that even the postman would discuss these matters with her son; it was too much.
"Why is all of this being told to you?" Zhang Lan said with sarcasm.
Gong Dajiang also looked up at Gong Tao. If everything was being discussed with him, then wouldn’t he know everything they were doing here?
Paranoia can be like that, "We rarely get any letters here. I ran into him and just casually asked."
"I thought it was money coming from Gong Tao, in which case mother might need the cart to go to town. Later, I realized it was actually a letter," Gong Tao explained why he had inquired.
