Chapter 59 And My Gift
"That bastard is a gambler, a womanizer, and a villain. You only care about his family's money and don't care about my life or death?"
Hearing their daughter's question, Mr. and Mrs. Tang both blushed.
"I guess you don't know what's going on at the mine yet. Zhang Dong has already sold his first batch of rough stones and made some money."
"If I'm going to get married, I'll marry a reliable man like Brother Dong."
"What? Zhang Dong has also sold his first batch of raw stones?" Tang Demin was very surprised.
Because he knew yesterday that Matchmaker Sun was going to bring her blind date to his home, Tang Demin did not go to the mine and was unaware of this news.
“Daughter, didn’t I hear that Zhang Dong suffered setbacks and was suppressed in the raw stone market? Didn’t you tell us that?”
"Oh dear, Dad, that's all ancient history."
“Brother Dong has already broken through Wang Jianguo’s suppression and made a name for himself in the jade market. Now he ignores Wang Jianguo’s suppression and even bought me two new outfits.”
"What? Zhang Dong bought you this new outfit?"
The elderly couple then noticed that their daughter was wearing a new outfit.
"Of course, they bought me two outfits at once."
Tang Guo said, as if showing off.
Tang Guo's mother exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear, even when we get engaged here, we only buy the woman a set of clothes."
“Zhang Dong actually bought you two outfits at once. It seems that this kid has really struck it rich.”
Tang Demin, who was standing to the side, nodded thoughtfully.
“I’ve watched Zhang Dong grow up since he was a child. He’s really doing well now. You’d be a great choice to marry him.”
"Ahem, I was senile before, I actually thought of letting you..."
Seeing that her parents had realized their mistakes, Tang Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
What just happened made her very angry.
I never expected that Wang Dong, that piece of trash, would actually try to make a move on her, and even sent a matchmaker to her house to arrange a marriage.
The reason her parents didn't inform her was probably to create a fait accompli.
Luckily, I went home...
At Zhang Dong's home, a lively atmosphere was in full swing.
Seeing Zhang Dong and several other miners carrying large and small bags of things down the river, Li Guifen, her second aunt Zhou Qin, and her third aunt Wang Guixiang all stared wide-eyed.
During this period, as the men in their families earned high salaries and found easy jobs at Zhangdong's mine, the two aunts' attitudes toward Zhangdong changed drastically.
Recovering from their shock, the second and third aunts walked over with smiles on their faces.
"Dongzi, what are you doing?"
Zhang Dong smiled and said, "I just came from a long trip and brought back some gifts for you."
The second and third aunts were dumbfounded when they heard this.
"What? These are all gifts bought for us?"
Zhang Dong nodded lightly, then suddenly seemed to remember something and pointed in Li Guifen's direction: "Of course, there's one for her too."
"What? Mine too?" Li Guifen's expression became quite interesting.
Li Guifen had always treated her eldest grandson as if he were invisible, and didn't care about him at all.
Not to mention her eldest grandson, she has never cared about her eldest son, Zhang Guangming.
However, during this time, her second and third sons, whom she had always favored, were already working in Zhangdong's mine and were completely convinced of Zhangdong's authority. This made Li Guifen feel uneasy.
She never expected that her grandson, whom she had never thought highly of, would actually own a mine.
Even his second and third sons, whom he admired greatly, were completely in awe of Zhang Dong.
Zhang Dong just bought back so many gifts, all colorful, including bed sheets, snowsuits, and a lot of daily necessities.
Her eyes turned red from looking at it.
However, because of her previous poor relationship with Zhang Dong's family, she felt ashamed to approach them, even though she was Zhang Dong's grandmother.
Hearing Zhang Dong say that so many gifts were bought for his second and third sons made her feel even more envious.
Upon hearing that there was also a gift for her, Li Guifen quickly smiled and came over.
"Zhang Dong, I didn't expect there would be a gift for me."
Zhang Dong replied indifferently, "Well, that pile is yours, take it."
Sensing Zhang Dong's coldness, Li Guifen was taken aback.
She wanted to throw a tantrum, but then she realized that she really didn't have the right to do so.
The second and third families, whom he favored, were all very respectful to Zhang Dong.
After all, Zhang Dong has already become a mine owner.
It's my own fault for not showing Zhang Dong any kindness back then. Now that he's successful and made money, I can't blame his attitude anymore.
Zhang Dong bought so many gifts today; if he gets angry, all of these things will end up in the hands of the second and third sons.
"Oh Zhang Dong, there are still some of my things left! I'm so happy..."
Seeing the grateful smile on Li Guifen's face, Zhang Dong smiled as well.
"It's okay to be happy, just don't get too carried away by it."
Zhang Dong's words were loaded with implications, both overtly and covertly criticizing the old lady for her previous foolish actions.
"Yes, no, don't worry, Dongzi, how could I be so happy that I'd lose my mind?" Li Guifen still had a big smile on her face.
How could she not hear the sarcasm in Zhang Dong's tone?
But now, no matter what others say, I have to listen to them.
After all, the second and third sons' families had all become workers for Zhang Dong.
Meanwhile, the grandson he once looked down on has become a mine owner.
Originally, Zhang Dong did not plan to buy Li Guifen a gift, but then he thought that he might as well buy her something and see how she reacted.
"Haha, it's better to be confused when you're not happy; the worst thing is to pretend to be confused when you know the truth."
After saying this, Zhang Dong turned and walked towards the gate.
"Hey, Dongzi, why don't you eat something before you go?"
Two aunties ran out enthusiastically.
Zhang Dong waved his hand: "I haven't been home for a while, I need to go to the mine to check on things."
After saying that, Zhang Dong got on the big truck and went straight to the mine.
My confidence comes from the mine right now.
Since we know from our past life's experience that this mine is rich in mineral deposits, if we want to make a lot of money, we need to further increase our development efforts.
Zhang Dong knew that to make more money, he needed to purchase new equipment.
The era of relying solely on brute force is over. Although production could be maintained for now, it would be ruthlessly eliminated sooner or later.
Next, Zhang Dong plans to increase output and earn more money by investing in new equipment.
In the following days, he re-examined the developed mine shafts to gain a thorough understanding of their condition.
Having already earned his first pot of gold, Zhang Dong is now full of energy.
The desire to make money has become even more urgent.
He knew that in his previous life, because his family was poor, the family relationships were more complicated and sharp. At the very least, his second and third uncles and Li Guifen were all targeting his family.
But now?
