Farming Space Makes Me Rich Novel - Chapter 738

Chapter 738: Doubt

Probably no one in the capital would have thought that the first day the Gong family welcomed the return of their young madam, they would also get rid of the second branch. The second branch was extended from Old Master Gong’s blood brother, but they were gone just like that.

Furthermore, it was Gong Tianhao who did it personally. Old Master Gong didn’t say anything to stop it. The meaning was quite clear.

Many people immediately understood that the Gong family was helping the new young madam and the heir of the main branch by removing the dangerous obstacles.

After all, the reason why the Gong family’s second branch was eyeing the Gong family covetously was that the Gong family was small.

Hence, when Gong Tianhao was young, they secretly tried to kill him.

When Gong Tianhao grew up, there were rumors that Gong Tianhao won’t get married. But if he didn’t get married, how would the main branch get its official heir?

However, someone had to inherit the huge Gong family. As the second branch, they naturally assumed that they would be the inheritor. However, Old Master Gong had been alive for too long. The second branch was made to wait for too long. They were unsatisfied and wanted to claim power as soon as possible. The second branch had the belief that the Gong Family would eventually be theirs, so what if they did certain things to get the power sooner rather than later?

Hence, they kept expanding their ambitions and greed. They kept trying to get their hands on things that did not belong to them. That was why they were unscrupulous in dealing with Gong Tianhao time and time again.

However, one day, the main branch suddenly announced that they had a new young madam and an heir.

What did this mean?

…

This meant that the second branch wouldn’t inherit the Gong Family.

In order to stop that, the second branch had to resort to unscrupulous means to secretly take down the new young madam and heir. They needed to murder the young madam to prevent her from giving birth to more heirs…

The second branch had to get rid of the root of the problem.

Therefore, even though Gong Tianhao viewed the second branch as clowns, and they were not a threat to him, Gong Tianhao had people he needed to protect. He had to be more careful now that he had a wife and child. He needed to clean up anything that might pose a threat to his family and leave a safe and comfortable environment for his wife and child.

However…

“Gong Tianhao is too heartless!” Many people saw on the news that the Gong family’s second branch collapsed in an instant. When they saw that it was Gong Tianhao who ordered it, apart from being shocked, they were stunned by Gong Tianhao’s ruthlessness.

The second branch of the Gong family was such a large family. The second old master of the Gong family had four sons. Every son had sons and daughters. Compared to the gong family, which only had a pair of grandfather and grandson, the number of people in the second branch was huge. Including the daughters-in-law, there were around 60 to 70 people. This did not include those illegitimate children.

Such a large family clan was dispersed with a single order from Gong Tianhao. Those who had done illegal stuff were arrested, and others were chased away. As for the children, they were either taken in by their relatives or sent directly to the orphanage by Gong Tianhao.

However, there was one exception.

That was Gong Qi, Gong Zhen’s younger brother.

Gong Tianhao announced to the public that since his second grandfather had saved his grandfather’s life, he would take care of him until his death. He would live in the best villa, eat the best food, and use the best things.

As for the others, they were no longer qualified to enjoy everything the Gong family had given them.

However, while Gong Qi would have servants in the villa, he couldn’t see any of his kin. It was a cruel punishment for him too.

Hence, the outside world had mixed opinions about Gong Tianhao’s actions.

Many people said that Gong Tianhao was a real man by doing it. After all, it was a man’s responsibility to protect his wife and children.

The second branch of the Gong family was eyeing the Gong family like a tiger eyeing its prey. This was a threat to his wife and children. Of course, they had to get rid of it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if something happened to them because of the second branch of the Gong family, it would be too late to regret it.

On the other hand, many people said that Gong Tianhao was too cold and heartless. The second branch of the Gong family was a close relative of the Gong family. The second master was even his grandfather’s biological brother. Yet, Gong Tianhao crumbled the whole family just like that? Wasn’t that a bit too ruthless?

As for the disappearance of the Bai family, not many people paid attention to it.

The Bai family only meant something when they were attached to the second branch. Therefore, their disappearance was like a stone thrown into a lake. After a small splash, they disappeared without a trace.

Gong Tianhao’s ruthlessness towards the second branch of the Gong family gave the upper echelons of the capital a warning. He valued his wife and children very much and would do anything to protect them.

No matter what status his wife had, be it a village girl or a country bumpkin, no one dared to look down on her.

But at the same time, it also exposed Gong Tianhao’s greatest weakness.

If someone wanted to deal with Gong Tianhao, they would definitely start with his wife and children.

This made people wonder if his wife and children had a place in his heart. Why would Gong Tianhao push his wife and children to the eye of the storm?

Was it possible that Gong Tianhao had brought them back only as an excuse to deal with the second branch? After the crisis was over, he would send them back. Could that be the case?

However, Gong Tianhao was a very courageous and responsible man. No matter how ruthless he was, he would never resort to something like this.

All kinds of guesses rose.

No matter how the outside world guessed, the news about the identity of the new mistress of the Gong family quickly reached the ears of everyone in the upper-class circle.

“Young Master Gong’s wife is the founder of Green Fresh?!”

“That’s right!” Someone nodded and said, “Now, someone has estimated the total value of Green Fresh. It has already reached tens of billions, and it has only been founded for two years.”

“Huh? Two years?” Someone said in surprise, “It seems that she is quite capable.”

“Hah! You have to be kidding! She merely relies on Young Master Gong!” Someone said disdainfully, “Young Master Gong’s wealth is hundreds of billions, and even a tiny crack under his fingernails is enough to make people enjoy endless wealth!”

“But in the past few years, we haven’t heard of any news that Green Fresh group has anything to do with young master Gong or even Imperial Palace Group.

“It grew from an unknown small enterprise into an enterprise with assets of over ten billion.

“Also, the brand of Taoyuan Village is now known by almost everyone! Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Farm, Taoyuan Village green fresh fruits and vegetables, TaoyuanVillage green fresh health wine!”

Of course, this health wine wasn’t known by everyone. It was only known by everyone in upper-class circles. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to drink it. They might not even have heard of it.

This was because the health-preserving wine was brewed in limited quantities and was sold to acquaintances. These acquaintances were either elites in the business world or high officials.

Xiao Lingyu only sold it in limited quantities. As for where the wines ended up, she wasn’t clear either.

“The Green Fresh Group made their fortune by growing vegetables. In fact, growing vegetables is still their main income today!” Someone said with great understanding, “If Young Master Gong’s wife really relied on young master Gong to make her fortune, she could totally enter a different field instead of farming that didn’t match her status.”

Someone immediately retorted, “It’s not like she’s the one farming vegetables!”

“No, you’re wrong!” That person shook her head and said, “In the beginning, she was the one who was planting and selling vegetables. She even opened up a stall at the market. She once rode a tricycle to the market in the middle of the night to peddle her vegetables!”

“Eh, how do you know so much?”

“Someone dug these things out when Green Fresh enterprise encountered a public relations crisis.”

“Haha, with your status as a young miss, I didn’t expect you to know about these things.”

“Back then, this was such a hot topic. As someone in media, I have to learn of it.” The person smiled faintly and helplessly. “At that time, I didn’t know that the female boss of the Green Fresh Group was the eldest young mistress of the Gong family. Now that I do, I went to do research on her again.

“I realize that she is a very inspirational legendary woman. Starting from scratch, she created a fruit and vegetable kingdom in just three to four years. You said that she only achieved her current achievements because of young master Gong. I want to ask, how did she rely on Young Master Gong?”

“This… Money!” The doubters said hesitantly, “It must be because young master Gong invested a lot of money that she could develop so fast.”

“If that’s what you think, I suggest you go to Taoyuan Village to understand the real situation!”

The doubters, “…”
