Chapter 627 - 628: There’s actually another boss
Gong Jiaming had no idea his dad was worrying about all sorts of things for him; he only knew one thing, he saw his dad.
Then, he could chat with his dad about things that happened recently, "Dad, I’ve made some money."
"I made a lot of money, and I want to buy gifts for Grandpa and Grandma."
"I want to buy gifts for Uncle and Aunt."
"I want to buy gifts for Brother and Sister."
"And also for Dad and Mom."
Gong Jiaming is really not foolish. He knows that once the money goes back home, it will definitely be confiscated by Dad and Mom, so he might as well buy some things to take back. That way, Grandpa and them will be really happy to see it.
Making some money, Gong Zhuang chuckled; he really didn’t think there was a problem with making money.
The only thing he worried about was, "Are you tired? Is the money enough? If not, Dad will give you some."
How sensible their child is, going out and yet never forgetting to buy things for this and that. Who else has such a considerate son at home?
Excited, Gong Zhuang didn’t even think about the fact that Gong Jiaming didn’t mention buying things for the Gong Family. Even if he did hear it, he wouldn’t think it’s a problem.
If it weren’t for the Gong Family not treating their child well, how could they make the child treat them like this?
"I have money, I really have a lot of money, I’ve made over a hundred." Gong Jiaming was stating that he had quite a bit of money in hand.
"Wait until next year when I come again, I will collect even more." He went a bit late this time, and also because he wasn’t familiar with the work, he didn’t gather enough.
Gong Jiaming was confident that next year he would definitely collect more and better medicinal herbs and then sell them for a good price.
Over a hundred... no way, Gong Zhuang was about to faint. This was about equal to his two months’ salary, since when could the countryside be so profitable?
Gong Zhuang couldn’t help but be amazed, knowing that his second brother’s days in the Northeast weren’t as bad as Gong Qiang and the others thought, but he didn’t expect them to be so lucrative,
"Really?" At this moment, what was going through Gong Zhuang’s mind was if his own son could earn so much, how much more could his second brother be making?
Although this time his second brother didn’t go because his second sister-in-law was having a baby, but before, and not to mention, the quails that his second brother was raising in the backyard.
Gong Zhuang honestly thought his earning ability was good, but now calculating it, he really couldn’t compare to his second brother.
His second brother is indeed amazing; wherever he goes, he can live well. Honestly, he wondered if the eldest and the fourth would regret it if they knew how well the second brother was doing.
"It’s true, and it’s only a few cents short of two hundred." Gong Jiaxin didn’t expect her brother to blurt out their income so quickly, and since he did, she quickly mentioned the income they made this time.
No way, Gong Zhuang was about to pass out; the money these two earned over a summer vacation was almost as much as his wife’s annual salary. My God.
But, how much hardship did their children have to endure for this, and Gong Zhuang felt a reluctance in his heart. He finally understood why his son was so tanned. Running around every day, how could he not tan?
"Then we won’t go collecting next year." Gong Zhuang wouldn’t let his daughter and son work hard just for a little money.
"I’m going, I want to go." Gong Jiaming protested, "I want to earn a big red packet; Sister said if I get into Jing University, she’d give me a huge red packet."
Probably thinking the so-called big red packet was something his dad might not get, he even used gestures to show how big the red packet was.
If my son got into Jing University, why were there so many surprises today, and Gong Zhuang felt a bit overwhelmed with all the good news popping up one after another.
Getting into Jing University, "Son, if you get into Jing University, Dad will give you a big red packet."
"And for Sister too." Gong Jiaming didn’t forget to ask for benefits for Sister.
"You’ll both get them." Gong Zhuang was so excited he didn’t know what to say, however, when he thought of his son’s grades, his heart wasn’t so calm anymore.
"Son, are you really going to get into Jing University?" It wasn’t that Gong Zhuang doubted his son, but he knew his son’s academic performance wasn’t that great. Finishing junior high and then taking over was already good, with no more requirements.
Now, out of nowhere, his son said he wanted to take the university entrance exam, and moreover, aiming for Jing University, how could he not think his son was trying to make him happy?
"If I work hard, I can definitely make it. Ni Zi said so, and she also wants to go to Jing University."
"Brother Rui Wen also said he wants to go to Jing University." Gong Jiaming stated as their younger brother, he couldn’t fall behind.
Ah, the two from second brother’s family both want to go to Jing University, and Gong Zhuang was surprised for quite a while, but then he quickly came to his senses. With their capabilities, if they didn’t aim for Jing University, what else would they aim for?
"That alone is not enough just to have such thoughts." Gong Zhuang thought his son was probably motivated by Gong Ruini and the others.
You really can’t take a child’s words too seriously; after all, they are still young.
"No, if I find Brother Rui Wen every summer holiday from now on, I’m confident I will definitely get into Jing University." Gong Jiaming really was all sorts of amazed at himself.
He previously worried if his parents would let them continue to the Northeast for medicinal herbs, but now, using the excuse of needing extra tutoring, he wasn’t worried his parents would disagree.
Ah, coming here year after year to get Gong Ruiwen and the others to tutor his son, could this work?
Gong Zhuang was firstly worried if Gong Ruiwen and the others would be willing, and also worried about how difficult the journey to Beijing was, even though his daughter would be with him, yet still very dangerous.
Gong Zhuang was more worried that if his wife and father-in-law found out, he would completely face the consequences, of course verbally it wouldn’t be much, just afraid of cold violence.
"Dad, can I?" Gong Jiaming saw that his dad hadn’t responded, he kept shaking his hand, signaling for him to quickly agree.
With this matter, how dare Gong Zhuang agree. "You need to ask your mom about this."
"Ah, have to ask Mom?" Gong Jiaming was shocked, "Isn’t Dad the one in charge at home?"
Gong Jiaming always grew up hearing his dad say he was the head of the house, but why now did dad say he wasn’t in charge, what’s going on?
Not understanding, Gong Jiaming looked at Gong Jiaxin, signaling his sister to step in, thinking maybe his dad just wanted to delay.
Gong Ruini could see the clues, it wasn’t that the second uncle can’t decide, not that he wanted to delay, but that he had no say in it.
Last time clearly seeing Gong Zhuang with a full attitude of "I’m in charge at home", now looking at it, you know how much water there was in it.
"Second uncle, let’s go inside." Even though Gong Ruini knew Gong Zhuang was afraid of his wife, they couldn’t really say it face to face with him, it would definitely make him collapse.
Gong Zhuang really didn’t pay much attention before, thinking this matter needed to be discussed by the whole family to decide, but later seeing the way Gong Ruini and the others looked at him, he knew it was bad.
Gong Zhuang couldn’t just pull Gong Ruini to explain more, that would’ve made him seem guilty. Alas, all these were his own son’s fault, if not for him, how could he be caught red-handed by Gong Ruini?
He glared fiercely at his son, the latter unceremoniously glared back, why blame him, if only he could’ve agreed directly back then, there wouldn’t be any problems now.
