"Did you really separate the family?" someone with a good relationship with Liu Gang asked softly.
Liu Gang responded with a "hmm" sound, "The old man really screwed us this time, Zhang Yu made it clear she wouldn't accept reconciliation unless it's with a hefty sum."
"The old man's salary isn't small, plus my mother's compensation, and he still has to take care of my brother. How much do you think he could have left?"
"The first thing they're going to do once they're out is surely to settle their eldest grandson's marriage."
Liu Gang snorted coldly, "Does he have money now? If not, isn't he just exploiting us?"
"We might as well separate the family earlier and work hard as a couple." Liu Gang already had it figured out on the way, on weekends he could work as a helper with the chef.
He could take home some leftovers, and if lucky, might even get a red envelope. He used to avoid such work because the good food he brought back wasn't much for them.
