Chapter 1199: Chapter 1200: The Love-Struck Brother’s Sister 42
This winter break, Zhang Yu focused on leaving early and returning late, heading out before eight and coming ho after five.
This certainly infuriated Liang Yan, although Zhang Yu did help with so chores, mainly just assisting; being the main hand was out of the question.
However, she wanted to explode but couldn’t find a way to vent, as she was too swamped to even manage herself.
Liang Bin and Liu Xia’s grades were out, and they were terribly dismal, which nearly drove Liang Hao and Liang Li up the wall with anger.
Their grades were indeed poor. They hoped their children could achieve sothing, at least not widening the gap with Liang Yan’s family.
Unexpectedly, Liang Bin and the others did even worse, barely hovering around the passing line in primary school.
It wasn’t like they hadn’t checked the tutoring prices; they were quite expensive, costing several thousand at least per month.
They imdiately thought of asking Zhang Yu, whose grades were good, so tutoring two primary school children should be an easy task.
Just recalling the sumr when they had first suggested this, Zhang Dong sternly rebuked Liang Yan, and they even separated financially.
The relationship was barely nded, but with Zhang Dong, there was no sign of any reconciliation.
Nevertheless, since it concerned the children’s education, they couldn’t care less and had to call Liang Yan.
Liang Yan knew Zhang Dong valued Zhang Yu and wouldn’t let anyone disrupt Zhang Yu’s studies, so no matter how much Liang Li complained about the children’s poor grades, she never relented.
This ti, no matter what Liang Li said, Liang Yan just wouldn’t budge.
After the two siblings in the Liang Family thought for a long while, they eventually decided to send in the Liang Family Elders.
Hearing what her mother said, Liang Yan couldn’t do much and thought about discussing it with Zhang Yu. If it didn’t work, she’d let Liang Bin and the others co over every day.
There was no way they could keep neglecting them, but unexpectedly, Zhang Yu acted quicker, saying she was going to a classmate’s house to study.
Liang Bin and Liu Xia liked visiting Liang Yan’s ho since there was plenty to eat and drink, the air conditioning was always on when needed, and they had a bookworm like Zhang Yu to bully.
Unexpectedly, after a few days there, Zhang Yu was never ho, and as for Zhang Hao, he was occasionally there but showed no intention of taking care of their food and drinks.
Although there was food in the fridge, they couldn’t cook, and all they could do was look longingly.
After several days like this, they decided not to co over anymore, finding playing with classmates more interesting.
When the Liang Family Elders learned their precious grandson and granddaughter were treated like this at Liang Yan’s house, they naturally couldn’t bear it and specifically called Liang Yan, asking why Zhang Yu wasn’t ho.
Helplessly, Liang Yan could only keep explaining, saying Zhang Yu went to a classmate’s house to do howork without covering up for Zhang Yu.
She felt that Zhang Yu was truly disobedient and in need of strong discipline.
As for the responsibility of educating the child, Liang Yan directly kicked it to her parents, letting them take charge.
The Liang Family Elders never really liked Zhang Yu, an outsider with a sharp tongue; who would like her?
The elders believed this girl needed a lesson, or she’d really be out of control.
Soon enough, they thought of a solution—when they ca to pay their respects for the new year, they would simply ignore her, letting her know that not taking care of her younger siblings ant she wasn’t welco.
Zhang Yu had no idea the Liang family was plotting this; she just left with her backpack.
Liang Yan was all kinds of happy about going back to her family today, waking up early to tidy herself up, “What’s going on, why are you still dawdling?”
Liang Yan saw Zhang Dong still reading materials, and her anger surged up.
“It’s only nine,” Zhang Dong replied irritably, “If you want to go back early to do chores, then go.”
Going back early ant listening to her father’s family complain about how hard life was, how little they earned, and how much they spent.
Thinking about the faces of the Liang family made Zhang Dong feel disgusted, “Your brother-in-law always arrives around 11.”
There were only two sons-in-law in the Liang family, and Zhang Dong considered himself better than Liang Li’s husband, yet that guy always managed to arrive right at al tis—why should he be early?
Zhang Yu kept nodding, agreeing with this reasoning, as they always arrived early at the Liang family.
Zhang Dong and his son were fine, drinking tea and chatting there, while Zhang Hao played with Liang Bin.
As for Zhang Yu, she was always busy assisting, bustling around as if guests were in her own ho.
Zhang Dong simply didn’t want a ssy house, so whenever they hosted guests, they did it at a restaurant.
When it was the Liang family’s turn to host, Liang Hao and his wife barely prepared any dishes, expecting Liang Yan to buy groceries, wash and cook, wash dishes, and clean the house.
Zhang Yu recalled every New Year at the Liang family, working until her back ached and legs throbbed.
In short, she wasn’t planning to do such work this ti, and if Liang Yan didn’t like it, she could do it herself.
“Little Yu, we’ll head to Grandma’s first.” Unable to rouse Zhang Dong, a helpless Liang Yan could only call to Zhang Dong.
“I’m attending classes and doing exercises, I’ll go with Dad.” Going early ant no good fruit to eat.
“How can you not go, don’t you know your aunt and them will be very busy?” Liang Yan glared, as her family had already called her yesterday to return early.
“Auntie’s also arriving around 11, why should I go early?” Zhang Yu continued working on exercises, “We’re both granddaughters, why should I have to do the work?”
“Don’t say Liu Xia is young; when I was younger than her, I was already working.”
“Mom, with you and auntie working, it’ll be easy to manage.” Zhang Yu planned to keep standing firm and avoid working.
“Then you won’t eat?” Liang Yan was angry.
“Then I just won’t eat.”
“The good dishes never get to anyway.” The dishes served were never what she liked, and those in front of her were always vegetables.
The better dishes were placed in front of everyone else, and if Zhang Yu took seconds, the comntary would be full of sarcasm—a chance to avoid this would be welco news.
“You, if you don’t go, there won’t be any red envelope money.” They couldn’t allow Zhang Yu not to go, or Zhang Dong would surely be upset.
Red envelope money? Zhang Yu burst out laughing, “No problem, I don’t need it.”
“It’s always just a hundred anyway.”
“Grandfather says there’s no bias between grandchildren and others, I don’t know.”
“Anyway, mine…” Zhang Yu indicated that her red envelope money was definitely unfair.
“How could it…” Liang Yan didn’t look well; she knew the red envelope money given wasn’t much, “Our family has two kids, after all.”
“Your uncle and aunt’s family has only one child.” Liang Yan could only offer this explanation.
Whether or not Zhang Yu believed it wasn’t her concern.
“I’m heading out first; you and your dad can co later.” With no other option, Liang Yan could only flee.
