28: Chapter 28: The Holess Supporting Actress 28_1 28: Chapter 28: The Holess Supporting Actress 28_1 Zhang Yu had no idea that such a big deal was going on back ho at that mont.
But even if she knew, she wouldn’t care, as she was busy thinking about what gifts to buy and take back.
After all, it was her first ti going back, and she definitely had to bring so gifts.
She would get a gift for Zhang Dagu and his wife, and for everyone else, she’d just casually bring so pastries for all to taste a bit.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but sigh with relief, “Going back ho really is just about spending money.”
What a relief that the company was paying for the travel expenses.
If she had to pay out of her own pocket, Zhang Yu would have really wanted to cry, as a round trip would cost at least two thousand.
To soone like her, who had no house, that was like losing half a square ter of a house.
On Saturday morning, Zhang Yu slept until she naturally woke up, tidied up her room a bit, and then rushed to the station, where she bought a ticket for the 8:30 train to go back.
Although she gave Pan Juan the impression that she would return ho late, it wasn’t like she would really go back very late.
Once on the train, Zhang Yu took out a book and started reading, ignoring any attempts from those around her to chat.
Who could know if the people around her were good people or not?
There’s a saying, “Don’t talk to strangers.”
For all she knew, soone who looked kind and benevolent might be a trafficker.
For her own good, it was better to quietly read a book alone.
When she heard the train announcent for the next station, Zhang Yu stood up, took her suitcase, and waited by the door to get off.
After disembarking, Zhang Yu hailed a cab directly, too lazy to transfer to a bus.
Not far from her family’s ho, she checked into a standard room and then headed for the Zhang Family’s ho with the gifts.
Having left for just under a month, Zhang Yu noticed that so people had already moved away.
In the future, each ti she ca back, she would see fewer and fewer of the old neighbors; although so chose to move back, others couldn’t wait and opted to take the money and buy houses elsewhere.
Zhang Yu greeted so of the old neighbors, casually inquiring whether they were relocating while they asked her how it felt to work out of town.
So neighbors even pulled Zhang Yu aside, “Little Yu, your parents are getting on in years.
You can’t just focus on work and ignore them, right?”
This made Zhang Yule laugh, “Auntie, I’m working out of town, but I still have my older brother and others.”
My brother, my sister-in-law, my sister and my brother-in-law are all very filial; they’ll definitely take care of my parents.”
“But they…” The other person didn’t expect Zhang Yu to answer like that and was slightly embarrassed.
“I trust my brother.”
“Alright, Auntie, let’s not talk about it anymore.
I’m heading back in.”
Pfft, as if she would let it go; she was always talking up how good Zhang Guohua and the others were.
By the ti she arrived ho, the Zhang family had just about finished their al, and Du Xia was getting ready to clean up the dishes.
They were excited to see her.
“Little Yu, have you eaten yet?” Chiang Yun greeted her warmly.
It’s nearly 1:30 PM, and they’ve just finished eating?
Isn’t that a bit late?
Although Zhang Yu didn’t know what food they made, looking at the empty bowls on the table, it didn’t seem like there was much food.
Glancing at the almost empty bowls, “No need, I’ve already eaten outside.”
“Sister-in-law, sis, you guys clean up.”
Pfft, with so little left, they still expected her to clean up the dishes?
Who do they think is a fool here?
Zhang Yu greeted everyone, without showing any interest in doing chores.
Chiang Yun glanced at Zhang Yu, “Little Yu, do you know?
Dad said there’s a share for you in the housing allocation this ti.”
Hmph, you already have a share, so why don’t you do the chores?
Chiang Yun couldn’t help but think how the house that should have been theirs was now partly given to Zhang Yu, and whether Zhang Dagu and his wife would leave their house to them was still unknown.
Although Zhang Dagu had also said that the house for Zhang Yu would be left for their nieces and nephews in the future, Chiang Yun knew that Zhang Yi had always looked down on Zhang Yu.
At this mont, Chiang Yun truly regretted why he had said so nonsense in front of Zhang Yu, prompting this kid to go to Zhang Yu, which ended up provoking Zhang Yu to anger.
To get the house, one had to perform better than Zhang Xin and the others, which really infuriated Chiang Yun.
What?
Zhang Yu was also shocked by this news, “What, what did you say?”
“I have a share in the house?” Zhang Yu wondered if it was the so-called house that Zhang Dagu said would be given to her in the future.
She also thought back to the old neighbor’s words, telling her to not only focus on her work but also to take care of her parents.
Zhang Yu’s first thought was, could this be so new strategy concocted by the old couple to keep her content as a babysitter?
Unfortunately for them, she really didn’t care, “No need, I’m not married, and it’s easy to solve my housing problem.”
“How do you plan to solve it?” Chiang Yun pressed, Hmph, do you really think buying a house is easy?
“By saving money to buy a house, of course.
A small two-bedroom would be enough, and it could be settled for about three hundred thousand.”
All of a sudden, Zhang Yu felt that with her current salary, she could afford it in just two years.
Wow, in an era where money still ans sothing, that’s really great.
Hearing Zhang Yu’s words, Zhang Dagu couldn’t help but snort coldly, “With your salary and your spending, how much can you save in a year?”
“Even thinking about buying a small house, I think even a one-bedroom might be out of your reach.”
Zhang Dagu said coldly, “You’d better save the money and earn more.”
“Your mom and I have discussed it.
You’re a mber of the family too.
Your brother has a share, it wouldn’t make sense if you didn’t.”
“Of course, they have their own families, and you’re on your own, so we’ll leave you a small studio apartnt.”
Zhang Dagu felt he still couldn’t be too good to Zhang Yu, “It’ll be right next to us when the ti cos.”
This way, it would also be convenient to take care of them as a couple, and perhaps the other children, seeing how hard Zhang Yu worked to take care of them, would treat them well, too?
Oh, how generous, no longer just so living rights in a house to cajole her?
But she still picked up on their intention, expecting her to continue taking care of them in just a single room, much like before.
Zhang Yu chuckled, “No need, Dad, to be honest, since I started working away, although my personnel relations and salary are still with my company, the chances of moving back are slim.”
“I’ll be working out of town and might only co back when I retire, which is more than a decade away.”
“I won’t be able to take care of you.”
“There’s really no need for you to keep a house for , and because of my job transfer and with the allowance, my annual inco is also about one hundred thousand now.”
“After working hard for five or six years, I could afford a house.”
“So there’s no need to leave a studio.”
Just a studio, not even worth a hundred thousand; Zhang Yu really looked down on such an offer, planning to find a dedicated nanny for just one hundred thousand?
Zhang Yu could only say that Zhang Dagu was indeed very sharp with his calculations, too bad she wasn’t going to fall for it.
