Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 922 - 924: Causing a Scene at the Door

After sending off all the friends and relatives, the two families of Gong Tao planned to leave, and as for the matters afterward, they had no intention to intervene.

Didn’t they see that the kids were tired? More importantly, the fact that the chubby Gong Jiaming seemed visibly thinner indicated that the meals here weren’t good.

Gong Ruzhi touched his stomach, "There’s no greasy food."

"Just that little bit of food." Since childhood, Gong Ruzhi grew up eating in crowded environments, but he never thought that having a meal could be as rushed as this. It really scared him.

Gong Ruini also found it unsuitable. Luckily, she occasionally went out to buy some snacks to eat; otherwise, she wouldn’t know how she would get through these days.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, about that house." Gong Qiang stopped Gong Tao and the others just as they were about to leave.

The house? What does it have to do with them? Do they want them to get involved and speak for one side?

Bah, Gong Zhuang didn’t even consider it and directly refused, "No need, Second Brother and I both give up, you and Fourth Brother handle it."

"We’ll sign when the time comes if you need us to sign."

"By the way, I’m going back to Beijing after the New Year, so you guys should hurry." Gong Tao gave them a timeline again, "I don’t know when I’ll return next time, so don’t rush me to head south."

Ah, just leaving like that, Gong Qiang was quite unhappy, "This is a big deal."

"It’s unrelated to us, we don’t have a share in the house."

"Do you mean to divide the house into four parts?" Gong Zhuang didn’t want to continue entangling with Gong Qiang, so he directly asked if he intended to split it into four.

This scared Gong Qiang, "Go about your business."

No matter what, he could at least get half of the house. If he asked Gong Tao and the others for help, the half would turn into a quarter, which would be a loss-making deal and is absolutely off the table.

See, Gong Zhuang raised his eyebrow to Gong Tao; as long as it’s this approach with Gong Qiang, he definitely would let go immediately, showing how he could look down on people in various ways.

"Save my son, please." Just as Gong Tao was calling Gong Ruini and the others to leave, he heard someone outside shouting this.

Save someone? If it was in Beijing, Gong Ruini wouldn’t be surprised; many people would come over hoping Zhuge Zhi or Zhan Jing would step in, but that’s Beijing. Here, there’s not even a single person who studies medicine, so how could anyone save someone?

Gong Zhuang listened to the crying voice, "Why do I find it somewhat familiar?"

He peeked out, which scared him, "It’s Dong Li’s mother."

"Seems like they didn’t get the money, so they sent the old lady over." Though Gong Zhuang’s words carried a bit of a watching-the-show tone, there was also some sighing.

"There’s nothing to be pitied about; if she had educated her son properly, it wouldn’t have come to this." Gong Tao signaled everyone to put on their coats before heading out to return to Gong Zhuang’s house.

No matter how the Dong Family made a fuss, it was unrelated to the Gong Family, and even if there was a relation, it would be with Gong Xiaoyu.

Zhang Pandi cried so sorrowfully; earlier, her daughter had assured various guarantees that she would solve this matter and her son wouldn’t be affected.

But now the debt collectors had come knocking, and there was no sign of money, not even Dong Li herself was anywhere to be seen, making Zhang Pandi anxious and jumping in frustration.

Having said all the good words, Zhang Pandi led those bone-crunching, human-devouring debt collectors to Gong Qiang’s house, hoping her wailing and pleading, along with the momentum of the debt collectors, would scare the Gong Family into giving money.

Gong Zhuang just walked past Zhang Pandi as if he didn’t see her. This old fellow had despised him in various ways before, and the words were said with complete contempt; even after so long, he remembered.

She cried for a long time, but only Gong Zhuang came out, and he plainly ignored her; how could Zhang Pandi let him go?

She chased him for a few steps and directly clung to Gong Zhuang’s foot, "Gong Zhuang, you can’t just stand by."

"Please save my son; he’s still young."

"Save your son? Gong Zhuang really wanted to kick Zhang Pandi away, but he didn’t dare; if something went wrong, she’d use it against him, making it even more troublesome.

"Yes, it’s not much money, just fifteen thousand." Zhang Pandi really didn’t think this amount would be a problem for Gong Zhuang.

By the time Zhang Pandi was making a fuss, many people had already stood up from the cold and looked on, and hearing Zhang Pandi’s casual words shocked them.

"Fifteen thousand, that’s a lot of money."

Although people’s salaries had increased now and there were more thousand-yuan households, owing money, especially gambling debts, to the extent of this amount was really not ordinary.

Not much money? Well, that amount to Gong Zhuang was not much money, but why should he help? "I’m not related to the Dong Family."

"That’s a human life." Zhang Pandi looked at him like, why are you so cold?

"That human life is a concern for his parents; if every stranger who owes money tells me to pay up, wouldn’t I be deeply indebted?"

"But we are relatives."

"My daughter is your former sister-in-law, your nephew’s mother."

"Then go find your former son-in-law, find your grandson." Gong Zhuang was really losing patience.

"Anyway, I don’t have money." It’s ridiculous; if he agreed this time, who knows how many more debts would pop up afterward? The Dong family’s kid has this ability; he can borrow money from somewhere, but how he has such a nerve is beyond understanding.

"You do have money." Zhang Pandi held tightly onto Gong Zhuang’s leg, refusing to let go because she knew that if she did, her son’s life would be over.

"Just because I have money, I’m supposed to save your son?" Gong Zhuang almost laughed out of anger at Zhang Pandi’s words, "Your son-in-law also has money."

"You were so proud when your daughter got remarried."

"Let go."

"Let go." Gong Zhuang looked at Zhang Pandi, who was even older than an eighty-year-old woman, and had no mood to keep explaining.

"I won’t." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Fine, won’t let go, huh?" Gong Zhuang wasn’t in a hurry, "Then go to the police station and file a report; these debt collectors are so brazen."

"Let them all go for re-education." Gong Zhuang glanced at the people watching the seed, "Lao Liu, now you’ve got some nerve too."

"Who would dare?" One of the debt collectors finally spoke, "We didn’t lay hands on anyone."

This was a harsh move, "Exactly, better have them all arrested."

"Zhang Pandi, aren’t you worried your son doesn’t have much longer to live? Then go be re-educated, and see how they handle it."

"They certainly wouldn’t harm you elderly folks."

"If they dare lay hands, just report them. Nowadays, being a thug isn’t like before." Humph, weren’t they trying to see him make a fool of himself? Then he definitely won’t repay.

"Will it work?" Zhang Pandi was excited for a second, and her hand loosened.

Gong Zhuang quickly stepped out of Zhang Pandi’s range, "Why wouldn’t it work? Although your son will have to endure some hardship."

"But without hardship, your son won’t be protected for long."

"It’s your choice." Gong Zhuang really felt he was a good samaritan, coming up with solutions even though Zhang Pandi treated him this way.

As for Lao Liu and the others, what could they do if Zhang Pandi really went ahead? They really didn’t dare to make it big; if the situation escalated, it wouldn’t end well.
