Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 997 - 998: Countryside Orphan Girl 42

Liu Dashan felt much better after hearing Zhang Yu harshly scold Feng Lan and her son.

"She’s a sensible child, just like her father." He couldn’t help but think of Liu Hong, who had been particularly perceptive since childhood. Among the children in the family, only he was the most capable of work.

Even the little darling Liu Jia couldn’t compare to Liu Hong. Liu Dashan just sighed a bit, "It’s a pity he didn’t listen to us when it came to marriage matters."

"Zhang Lina wasn’t healthy, and after giving birth to Zhang Yu, she didn’t have any more children. We told him having only one daughter wasn’t good; he needed a son and should support his nephew more."

"If he had helped Yuanchao more, would he do such things for just a little money?"

Zhang Yu wasn’t present, but if she were, she would definitely have retorted unceremoniously.

Wang Pandi kept nodding, "Right, right, it’s all Liu Hong’s fault."

Since his wife and child went in, Wang Qiang, who had become dejected, sniffled hearing Liu Dashan’s words, "Dad, I don’t blame Liu Hong."

"It’s because I lack capability. If I were as capable as Liu Hong, a small leader in the unit."

"Yuanchao wouldn’t have had any problems." Recalling how his coworkers pointed fingers at him and always brought up Liu Yuanchao as a comparison whenever discussing children, Wang Qiang really felt that such days were unbearable.

But no matter how hard the days were, he could only continue. He couldn’t possibly resign.

If he had a son by his side, he would definitely let the son take over his job immediately.

What worried him more was whether the old man would dislike him. After all, both of his sons were already wasted. What if the old man planned to focus on nurturing Liu Ke; what could they do?

Now, hearing the old man’s words, Wang Qiang knew that in the old man’s heart, the eldest grandson was still the most important.

"You need to work hard, improve your skills."

"Work more, don’t listen to what the coworkers say around you. I don’t believe that once we improve our skills, people around us will still laugh at us," Liu Dashan said harshly.

Liu Qiang really didn’t want to hear the old man’s preaching, but he knew he must not show dissatisfaction, "Dad, I know, I’ve been working hard."

Liu Dashan sighed when he heard this. Although the two of them didn’t work in the same workshop, they knew that this son was really not diligent at work.

Those who entered the factory at the same time as him were already better than him. Liu Dashan had personally asked his senior brother to educate Liu Qiang back then.

It’s a pity this son just didn’t work hard. But compared to Liu Gang, this son was already quite good.

In the past, Liu Dashan would have just listened and not cared if Liu Qiang didn’t work hard. As long as Liu Yuanchao worked hard, every generation would have one successful child, which would invite envy.

But now the problem was, "Liu Yuanchao is already finished, do you think Liu Jianshe can be nurtured?"

"Doesn’t he resent me?" Liu Dashan wasn’t worried that Liu Hong would retaliate against the Liu family; he wasn’t so cold-hearted.

But Liu Jianshe was different. As long as he wasn’t treated well, he would certainly find an opportunity to retaliate.

"You’ve seen Yuanchao’s current situation; you need to work hard, make good connections, so when Yuanchao comes back, you can hand over your job to him."

Liu Dashan looked at Liu Qiang, thought for a moment, and decided to be straightforward, "You are my eldest son, Yuanchao is the eldest grandson of the Liu family."

"If possible, I want you both to do well. I can give you my connections and everything."

"But if you continue to slack, I can’t just ignore the Liu family. My job, I will give to Liu Ke." Liu Dashan directly laid out his trump card.

These days, Liu Dashan had been thinking about who should be strongly promoted as the third generation after Liu Yuanchao, which was a very important matter.

Even though he didn’t like Liu Gang and his wife, the old man admitted that Liu Ke was clever. Among the four grandsons, he was the smartest.

With both cunning and a ruthless heart, Liu Dashan knew that if the Liu family were entrusted to him, it would surely prosper.

But Liu Dashan didn’t dare to do so, fearing that if he immediately took over the Liu family, even Liu Qiang’s branch wouldn’t have a good outcome.

Even the lives of the old couple might not be well; Liu Dashan could only hope that his provocation would be effective.

Would the old man’s job be left for Liu Ke? Liu Qiang’s momentarily lowered heart suddenly jumped again, suppressing the urge to argue with the old man.

"Dad, you don’t have to worry about their jobs. Both Liu Gang and his wife have jobs, their jobs can be left for Liu Ke." His family’s reputation was already tarnished; if Liu Yuanchao went to work as a helper in the cafeteria, could he still succeed?

Even though work is supposed to have no distinction and all serve the people, Liu Qiang didn’t believe this. If there were no distinctions, why did everyone want to be a leader?

"They are all my grandsons. I must consider the Liu family, but if Liu Yuanchao doesn’t work hard, I think it’s all my pampering you, and you’re indifferent to work."

"Your wife doesn’t work either, just does housework at home; how can she set an example for the kids?"

"In the end, you just want me to work hard," Liu Qiang was very unhappy, "I’ve already promised I will work hard."

Liu Qiang was very unhappy, "Dad, how can you not trust me like this."

Looking at the eldest son who was pretending to be the victim, Liu Dashan was furious, "How am I not trusting you?"

"If I truly didn’t trust you, I would’ve been watching you closely all the time, urging you to work hard, to work harder."

Now, Liu Dashan truly regretted it, "I had no idea that you would turn out to be so useless."

"If I had known, I should have watched you closely from the start."

Liu Dashan felt very exhausted, "I’ve said what I needed to say."

"In the next three months, if you’re still like this, still not working hard, don’t blame me."

"It’s getting late; we need to rest now." Nowadays, there was no one to lend Liu Dashan a hand at work.

He used to have apprentices who could help a bit, so it wasn’t too tiring. Since Liu Hong’s incident broke out, Liu Dashan’s apprentices felt ashamed of having him as a master and asked to sever the mentor-apprentice relationship. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

If it were for other reasons, everyone would blame the apprentice for severing the relationship with the master, but this time everyone thought their demand wasn’t excessive.

While Liu Dashan was still detained at the police station, he had no connection with the apprentices.

When he returned to work at the factory, he just received a notice from the factory that was it. Even with all his dissatisfaction, Liu Dashan could only accept it.

Liu Qiang stormed back to his room, and Liu Ke also angrily returned home. Earlier, he had been completely humiliated by Zhang Yu in front of so many neighbors.

When Liu Qiang saw Liu Ke, he snorted coldly a few times.

Liu Ke didn’t hold back either and snorted back, "You really think you’re something?"

"Your son and wife are both criminals."
