43: Chapter 43 No House Female Match 43_1 43: Chapter 43 No House Female Match 43_1 Chiang Yun, who was already busy downstairs early in the morning, figured that Pan Juan would also get up soon.
To her surprise, even after she had finished cooking and eating, ready to leave, there was still no sign of Pan Juan and Zhang Dagu coming downstairs.
Her first thought was, could they be feigning illness?
Lately, whenever she offered the slightest argunt, Pan Juan would pretend to be unwell in various ways, causing her endless frustration.
Yet she couldn’t just ignore them, after all, they were her parents, and if sothing happened to them while she simply walked away…
When it ca down to it, the house would definitely be divided into four parts, and she didn’t believe Zhang Yu wouldn’t want his share.
After all, once the parents were gone, whether siblings would keep in touch after the division of the house was another matter entirely.
Considering their pensions, Chiang Yun didn’t want them to pass away anyti soon.
The longer they lived, the more retirent funds they would collect, leaving behind more money for them.
Chiang Yun went upstairs and knocked on the door of Zhang Dagu and his wife’s room, actually overhearing that the old couple should be in good health, as their voices could be heard talking.
She wanted to listen to what they were discussing, but as soon as she approached the door, they beca silent.
Seeing that, Chiang Yun pursed her lips, imdiately knowing they must be talking about her.
Forget it, it’s best to let it go; perhaps they were discussing how bad she is.
Rather than listening and dying of rage, it was better to pretend ignorance.
She knocked softly on the door and soon heard from within, “Co in.”
Chiang Yun opened the door but didn’t enter, just standing at the threshold, “Mom and Dad, breakfast is ready.”
Ah, what was the point of telling them that she had finished making breakfast?
Pan Juan increasingly felt that Chiang Yun was only trying to curry favor for the sake of the one hundred thousand.
“I’m done eating, I have to go to work.”
“Also, Mom, I haven’t been feeling well recently, I’ll need to stay at my own place for a while.”
She didn’t say she wasn’t planning to co back, just ntioned staying away for a while, especially since they would need to move out once the agreent was signed, there would be no need to live with them anymore.
Ah?
Pan Juan had thought that Chiang Yun would take the opportunity to bring up the matter of the house, but unexpectedly, she didn’t.
Wrong, even though she didn’t ntion it, her current actions were clearly a threat—if they didn’t agree, she would have the whole family move out.
Hmph, did she really think such tactics could intimidate her?
Please, who did she think she was?
She had lived for so many years and wasn’t raised to be intimidated by others.
“Alright, if you’re not feeling well, you should go back,” Pan Juan agreed crisply.
“By the way, is it just you going back to stay?” Pan Juan asked casually.
“Yes, it’s just .
Guohua and Xiao Yi will stay here,” Chiang Yun replied.
“With them taking care of you two, I can rest assured,” Chiang Yun expressed her confidence that soone would remain to look after them.
Ah, to leave behind Zhang Guohua and his wife?
Pan Juan was truly amused by Chiang Yun’s words, “Do you think they take care of , or do I take care of them?”
As much as she wanted to praise her son and grandson, they really weren’t the industrious type.
Pan Juan really didn’t know what to say anymore; if possible, she truly felt like cursing soone out.
“If you’re leaving, then all of you should go,” Zhang Dagu said bluntly.
Hmph, leaving behind Zhang Guohua and his son, was she trying to decide who would take care of whom?
Ah, Chiang Yun didn’t expect Zhang Dagu to be so forthright, “Mom and Dad, they said they want to leave.”
“You know very well Guohua and his family won’t lift a finger to work.”
“So, you want to go back and relax, not to take care of them?”
Just let take care of them?” Pan Juan grew angrier as she thought about it, casting a hostile glance at Chiang Yun, “You really have a knack for cunning calculation.”
Chiang Yun hadn’t expected that Pan Juan would outright dismiss Zhang Guohua and his son’s feelings and panicked instantly.
If even they couldn’t persuade the elderly couple to give in, how could there be any hope for Zhang Yi’s marriage?
Seeing Chiang Yun’s flustered expression, Zhang Dagu and his wife felt even more convinced that there was more to the situation, that she was definitely scheming against the two old folks.
This reinforced their determination to have Zhang Guohua and his family move out.
Thinking this, Pan Juan felt that she couldn’t indulge them anymore and needed to let them know that, even as the elderly, they had their own tempers and wouldn’t just comply with whatever they wanted.
Pan Juan went to Zhang Guohua and Zhang Yi’s respective doors and knocked to wake them up.
“It’s ti for work and yet you’re all not in a hurry,” thought Pan Juan, her opinion of Zhang Yi sinking even further.
A young man with no sign of aspiration or drive, could he really have a future?
Zhang Guohua and Zhang Yi got up groggily.
Although they could skip breakfast and eat at the workplace, they still needed a lot of ti to get there and couldn’t afford to be late.
But when they opened the door, they were t with the old lady’s unfriendly gaze, which instantly snapped them to attention, wondering what was happening now.
Why was the old lady flipping out first thing in the morning?
The two of them were puzzled, unable to grasp why the old lady suddenly had so many grievances against them.
“Big brother, do you know your wife wants to move back to her place?” Pan Juan stared at Zhang Guohua with an unfriendly look, waiting for his response.
Zhang Guohua inwardly cursed his luck, knowing the old lady would be angry, but not expecting her to be this mad, instantly feeling regret.
Oh, moving back?
Zhang Yi looked up in surprise at Chiang Yun, unable to understand why things had taken such a turn.
Wasn’t it about showing their best side so that the elderly couple would contribute more money for a grand wedding?
Now everything had changed drastically.
They were supposed to move back?
Moving back was one thing; living here really wasn’t as good as being in their own ho.
But Zhang Yi worried if they just left like that, could they still count on Zhang Dagu and his wife to fork out the money?
“Yes, Chiang Yun ntioned it yesterday, saying she wasn’t feeling well,” Zhang Guohua knew he had really set his wife up this ti.
But what else could he do?
After all, she was his wife, and even if it ant crying, he had to support her.
Not feeling well?
Pan Juan scoffed, “If she’s unwell, what’s the point of her going back alone?”
“As Chiang Yun’s man and child, shouldn’t you go back and be with her?” Pan Juan glared at Zhang Guohua and his son.
She had intended to kick them out, but then reconsidered, thinking she should change her temper, especially since they were her descendants.
Especially after she put it that way, wouldn’t it just seem like she was being too harsh?
The best strategy was to let them start fighting among themselves in the end.
Ah, is that it?
Zhang Guohua thought Pan Juan was angry about Chiang Yun moving back and was ready to give them a piece of his mind.
But it turned out they had overthought it; the old lady wasn’t upset about that at all.
“Mom, I can take care of myself,” Chiang Yun had initially thought Pan Juan was knocking on Zhang Guohua’s door out of anger.
But that wasn’t it; instead, she wanted them to go back and take care of her.
Maybe so people might see it as taking good care of their daughter-in-law.
Chiang Yun was certain that this was just a ploy to stir up strife within their family.
