Gong Zheng was dumbfounded after receiving the call from Gong Zhuang. What? Their father's money wasn't gone, but Gong Qiang wanted to swallow it all up rightfully.
This is absolutely unacceptable. Gong Zheng would never agree to this. Even if the four brothers had to split it among themselves, it would be better than letting Gong Qiang take it all alone.
But should he go back? Gong Zheng was also considering it. He was about to get a promotion, which was almost settled, but until he received the official order, anything could happen. He had to be cautious.
Not going back could save him some trouble. None of his brothers at home were good people; even the second brother, whom he previously thought was honest, had become hard to understand.
But if he didn't go back, would he miss out on any benefits? Gong Zheng was actually more worried about this issue because it involved a house of the Dong family.
If there was such a house, their four brothers could each get half a house.
