Zhang Dong knew how to let Liang Yan figure it out herself. Ideally, it would be best if Zhang Yu was willing to do the chores on her own.
But now that this girl figured things out, we can’t use the old thods, or else she’d feel distanced from the family, and that’s not a good thing.
Liang Ya rembered her own days in junior high and high school. After entering high school, she was so busy. Nowadays students are under pressure, especially those aiming for top colleges; they have to work even harder.
Zhang Yu’s grades could definitely get her into a good high school, and by that ti, she might not have ti to do chores.
For a mont, a thought flashed in her mind: wouldn’t it be better if Zhang Yu didn’t go to high school, so she could stay ho and do chores?
This thought barely surfaced before Liang Yan dismissed it. Zhang Hao claims he loves studying, but even she is a bit anxious about it.
Even if his grades are gradually improving, catching up with Zhang Yu’s grades isn’t easy.
Having two kids who get into prestigious universities makes the family look good.
Liang Yan, who cared about appearances, quickly made a decision.
But when she thought about how she was the only one doing the chores in the big house, her mood instantly soured, "Look at how big the house is, I’m the one doing all the cleaning..."
Liang Yan contemplated hiring a part-ti worker if possible; though it would cost so money, it would make things easier.
Upon hearing this from Liang Yan, Zhang Dong’s first thought was that she might be wanting him to help with the chores.
Zhang Dong didn’t even consider it, "If I have ti, I’ll help you clean, and we’ll do the chores together."
He comforted Liang Yan first; whether chores would actually be done would depend on the situation. When busy, he left the house early and returned late, with no ti for chores.
Helping with chores? Liang Yan didn’t even want to look at Zhang Dong; just listening to him, she knew he was bluffing without even thinking.
"I think, maybe we should hire a part-ti worker." Hiring a nanny, Liang Yan knew would be too expensive, and Zhang Dong would never agree.
If that’s the case, it would be better to go for a cheaper option—a part-ti worker to clean the house and prepare dinner. Although it costs money, it makes life easier.
Hire a part-ti worker? Zhang Dong looked at the expectant Liang Yan and said, "Do you know how much a part-ti worker’s salary is nowadays?"
"Don’t forget, when they get into high school, Little Yu’s grades should be fine, so don’t worry."
Zhang Dong was genuinely pleased with Zhang Yu; she was obedient and sensible, not the type to cry and make demands.
Her good grades made him proud, and discussing Zhang Yu with colleagues gave him a sense of pride in his genes.
"To improve Xiao Hao’s grades, I think we should hire a tutor."
"Tutors aren’t cheap these days." Zhang Dong truly wanted Xiao Hao to attend a prestigious school.
With that, the financial needs would increase. Thinking about the expenses for the next sester alone gave Zhang Dong a headache.
"Once they take the high school entrance exam, they should get good scores."
"Going to high school is a good thing, but for us, consider the financial input," Zhang Dong truly didn’t want to spend on non-essential things.
"Our house isn’t big, and Little Yu alone handled it before. She’s just a little girl, attending class and doing howork, yet she managed the chores."
"You can do it too."
"We’ll work together when it’s ti." Zhang Dong decided directly, regardless of how unpleasant Liang Yan’s expression was.
Did it make Liang Yan happy? Of course not, "Do you have to ask how busy you are with work?"
"You’re already overwheld, shutting yourself in the lab; housework effectively becos mine." Liang Yan didn’t want to give Zhang Dong any face; he was truly a selfish guy.
Unexpectedly called selfish by Liang Yan, Zhang Dong was naturally angry.
"You call selfish? Fine, I’ll be a selfish guy for once."
"I see you don’t even know what selfish ans." Zhang Dong directly told Liang Yan, "I will cover the normal household expenses."
"But I won’t handle the social obligations from your side of the family."
"You want to buy things for the kids? Buy them if you want; otherwise, I’ll give you money."
"As for your personal expenses for shopping or outings, I won’t pay a single di."
"You’ll do all the housework."
"If you have objections, it’s fine; we can divorce." Zhang Dong laid it out for Liang Yan to decide.
Liang Yan never imagined that just out of habit complaining for a mont would provoke such a big reaction from Zhang Dong.
"Honey, honey, don’t be like this." Liang Yan panicked; although she had a decent inco, it couldn’t compare to Zhang Dong’s.
His salary was higher and bonuses for completing R&D projects were substantial.
Running things like this spared consider maintaining their refined lifestyle, along with supporting her family.
Liang Yan cherished face, often being generous after hearing complints from her family.
Now, with reluctance, she could only fork out money.
Liang Yan thought since she had conceded, Zhang Dong should show her face by continuing to give money.
What she didn’t know was that Zhang Dong had long been dissatisfied with her constant support of her family; he just didn’t know how to broach the subject.
Seizing this perfect opportunity, he planned to address it imdiately.
Liang Yan was unaware of Zhang Dong’s longstanding dissatisfaction. Regardless, she decided to bla Zhang Yu for everything.
If it weren’t for the girl acting up and refusing to do chores, would she have said those things, leading to financial issues?
In school, Zhang Yu, imrsed in exercises, had no idea Liang Yan was resenting her, and even if she did, she wouldn’t care.
On the way ho, Zhang Yu debated whether to have steak or pasta with chicken breast for dinner.
Frankly, eating these als for so many days was getting tireso, but if she cooked, the cooking would fall to her.
All her previous efforts would be wasted, and Zhang Dong wouldn’t value her change; they’d think it’s just a phase.
Beef is quick and nutritious, offering daily nutrients, despite Zhang Dong and Liang Yan’s issues. At least, one thing’s good about them.
They weren’t stingy or tight-fisted, which Zhang Yu appreciated.
In the future, fulfilling her filial duties for their retirent would be essential, ensuring they couldn’t label her as ungrateful.
Running into Zhang Hao downstairs again, the latter gave a few cold snorts.
Once in the elevator, "Rember to stay quiet." Zhang Hao displeased stared at the ceiling.
Zhang Yu knew he was addressing her; as for specifics, it was likely soone’s test score flopped, into single digits.
