Zhang Yu knew the Han family was wealthy, thinking the won in the Han family loved shopping sprees, often traveling to Europe and Arica, Japan and Korea; they must frequently visit Harbor City. Owning a house there shouldn’t be difficult.
Yet, she never imagined Han Xue and her family would also live in this neighborhood. Zhang Yu Hua couldn’t understand what the couple was thinking; anyway, she was truly furious.
Zhang Yu really didn’t know what to say. The agent suggested so many houses, but their family fell for this one house.
Originally, it should have marked the beginning of their new life in Harbor City, but who would have thought they’d end up living next door to them? The mood was really unpleasant.
Why did she only find out after renting the house? Otherwise, she would have swapped the house in a heartbeat.
No matter how good the environnt or location, it can’t make up for having them as neighbors.
When Zhang Qiang saw Lin Yu, he also froze. They were pissed enough to curse; how could things turn out so unlucky?
Han Xue looked at Zhang Yu, feeling irked as well. How could she co all the way to Harbor City and still face her?
Han Xue snorted coldly, "Zhang Yu, are you stalking ?"
"Stalking you?" Zhang Yu glanced at her disdainfully. "This house was rented ages ago. Who knows if you discovered I was coming to Harbor City and..."
"Besides, you’re the eldest daughter of the Han family; shouldn’t the house you live in be better than this?"
"Aren’t you supposed to live in a villa on the hilltop?"
"Everybody knows, a year ago Han family’s eldest son hosted several sensational parties in the hilltop villa. They say that was a Han family villa too."
Anyway, since things were already tense, it didn’t matter if relations got worse. She finished speaking and turned to leave, "Let’s go first, lest you say we’re stalking you again."
Zhang Yu turned to push her luggage and walked away, "Mom, let’s hire a maid in a couple of days."
Upon hearing they were going to hire a maid, Han Yu quickly said no, "We can do it ourselves."
"Mom, hiring a maid isn’t expensive, only about four to six thousand; that’s about it." To her, hiring a maid was really cost-effective.
Back in the Mainland, Zhang Qiang and Han Yu didn’t hire a nanny but did employ a part-ti worker to cook lunch and clean up, totaling around two thousand a month. Unexpectedly, here it was so cheap; they were really surprised.
"So hire soone; you can go out for tea and chat when you have ti. I rember Dad ntioned you have a few college friends over in G Province, you can visit them for tea and chats then."
"You can also stroll around in Harbor City, check out the stock market conditions, etc."
"After all, the internet is connected now." Zhang Yu gently opened the door for the old couple to enter.
They had looked at the house before. What they liked most was that the living room, secondary bedroom, and master bedroom faced Victoria Harbor; the scenery was great, especially when lit up.
The rear view of the mountain greenery was pleasant, and there were two bathrooms, which Zhang Yu was quite satisfied with.
Of course, if one had to pick a fault, it would be the small room size.
"The master bedroom is for Mom and Dad, it’s convenient for you to get up at night."
"The secondary bedroom with the Victoria Harbor view is for Xiao Xuan."
"I’ll take the remaining secondary bedroom with the study." Zhang Yu had seen enough night views; it was no big deal.
"For now, it’s as it is. I’ll strive to buy a house halfway up the hill one day."
"By the way, let’s go out for our first al today. After all, it’s our housewarming party; it can’t be simple." Zhang Yu saw Han Yu’s mouth move, knowing what she wanted to say, preemptively responded.
"We’ll tidy up things, go out for a bite, then buy groceries, and co back to rest." According to Zhang Yu, they could really eat out without much effort.
But she knew the old couple definitely would be reluctant. They’d feel that this way they weren’t holding back.
"Alright," Han Yu just worried about having no purpose here.
"The living room is still a bit small." Zhang Qiang stood in the living room, slightly disappointed, "When we first viewed the place, it didn’t seem small, but once the furniture’s in..."
Having lived in large houses, suddenly living in a smaller place was really a bit uncomfortable.
Lin Zixuan felt this way too. He had seen the house before, "The property prices here are really high."
"That’s how it is in big cities; living is not easy," Zhang Yu simply hung up the clothes she brought, "Okay, let’s go out to eat." Ti was getting late; it was really ti to go out and eat, also helping her parents get a basic understanding of the surroundings.
The family enjoyed the al thoroughly; if there’s anything to complain about, it’s always the sa: apart from the high price, no other issues.
After lunch, they wandered to the market. As frequent market-goers, the old couple looked at the prices here, exclaiming, "Prices aren’t usually this spicy."
"Indeed, in the Mainland, a salary over ten thousand could be considered pride-worthy, but here, it’s just the price for a restaurant service staff."
Zhang Yu knew the prices were steep, but that’s just the city’s standard lifestyle cost.
After thinking it through, Zhang Qiang and Han Yu said, "Well, let’s buy so; cooking oneself is better than buying ready als."
Besides buying vegetables and at, they also got so frozen foods, "For breakfast."
Han Yu, as a diligent grandmother, of course asked her grandson what he wanted for breakfast the next day.
Lin Yu hurried to the supermarket as their family of four returned ho after lunch. Originally planning a rest for Han Xue so she could check into the hospital for examination tomorrow.
On the way back, Han Xue hadn’t ntioned anything she wanted. But as soon as she arrived ho, she started listing cravings, which annoyed Lin Yu imnsely.
For a mont, he really wanted to snap and deal with Han Xue directly; it was just unbearable. Is she the only one giving birth?
What can he do, with all his bitterness and dissatisfaction, he still had to go out and buy whatever the eldest miss wanted. Otherwise, if he delayed, Han Xue’s sches for trouble knew no bounds.
Just as he was about to enter the supermarket, he encountered Zhang Yu and her family, seeing their heaps of bags, knowing they had been on a shopping spree.
My goodness, Zhang Yu really didn’t know what to say, "What bad luck, encountering you everywhere."
Lin Yu initially wanted to quip about coincidence but couldn’t believe he heard Zhang Yu’s sarcastic remark; his mood for greeting vanished instantly.
Seeing Lin Yu’s slightly hopeful expression turn sour, Zhang Yu realized she must have hurt soone’s fragile ego.
The original Zhang Yu would appease him when unhappy, but now things had changed, given his actions, no one cared about his mood.
Zhang Yu cheerfully talked about places to visit tomorrow, "I initially thought about buying a car but found driving costs high; might as well use taxis."
"The minibuses here are convenient, and the subway too, very accessible." Since public transportation was so well developed, there was really no need to buy a car.
