62: Chapter 62 The Female Supporting Character Without a House 62_1 62: Chapter 62 The Female Supporting Character Without a House 62_1 Since she wasn’t moving, Zhang Yu went for a stroll in the surrounding area the next day.
She knew that this New Year’s Day was going to be a lively one for the Zhang Family.
The few who lost their houses, would they let Zhang Dagu off the hook?
Of course, they begged non-stop, made all kinds of promises, and called upon various connections.
For Zhang Dagu, as long as they could have a place to live, whether it had an elevator or not was really not important.
As long as they had a house to live in, and so did Zhang Guohua and the others, of course that was the best outco.
Of course, the one who ended up out of luck, apart from Zhang Yu, who else could it be?
Zhang Yu didn’t really care, after all, their fuss was nothing more than added expenses which would definitely be heartbreaking for them.
Although it was the dead of winter, she went on a leisurely trip, visited a beautiful scenic area, ate delicious food, and her mood was incredibly joyful.
Zhang Yu didn’t return ho with her luggage until the afternoon of the third, bringing gifts for Zhang Dagu and the others.
Compared to the first day, the house was various kinds of quiet, but today it was as lively as it could get.
Chiang Yun was busy in the kitchen, only now realizing how easy it was for Zhang Dagu and the others to keep everyone else in check.
She truly regretted it; had she known it would be like this, she should have behaved better from the start, and Zhang Dagu and the others would have treated her well.
Now, she had to continue working, and even then, Zhang Dagu and the others still treated her poorly.
But there was no use in regretting, as there was no cure for it, and she could only try harder.
Seeing Zhang Yu, Chiang Yun’s eyes glared at the latter like daggers, but she also knew better than to continue badmouthing Zhang Yu, not knowing where Zhang Yu might dig a pit for her.
Zhang Yu knew Chiang Yun was upset and greeted her warmly, “You’re cooking today?”
“Yes,” Chiang Yun replied, clearly unhappy.
In the last few days, they had pulled every string they could for the house matter and didn’t even know how many favors they owed.
Still, without any definitive answer, they truly regretted not having taken things more seriously at first.
But what could they do about their remorse now?
After all, they couldn’t really expect Zhang Dagu and others to hand out money, even though they had spent quite a bit, having a house to live in was still good.
“Did you go out to have fun?” They were extrely busy, yet this person actually went out to play.
Zhang Yu humd in affirmation, “Yes, I needed to go out and see more.
Don’t they say ‘Travel broadens the mind’?
I also need to find ti to have a look around.”
“I have to try to keep up with you all.
You’ve been to quite a few places, and I’ve barely gone anywhere,” said Zhang Yu, implying that she was just following their example.
Chiang Yun closed her mouth, knowing that no matter what she said, Zhang Yu would always find a way to block her.
Having no choice, she continued to work with her head down.
Zhang Yu entered the room, handed the stuff to Zhang Dagu and the others, and casually shared her feelings about the trip, “It’s really good to go out more.”
“I finally understand why Zhang Guohua and the others often went out.
It really can make one feel better.”
Zhang Yu felt she could persuade Zhang Dagu and the others to travel, “Mom and Dad, you shouldn’t always be cooped up at ho.
You really should go out more.”
“Take in more of the world outside.”
“That would take quite a bit of money,” Pan Juan was reluctant to spend, since there were many expenses to consider.
“You two are being too frugal with your decent retirent pensions.
Why save so much?”
“Besides, look at us, our careers are not to boast about, but at least we can provide for the family.”
“Who would care about the money in your hands?
As long as you are happy, we are happy.”
Zhang Guohua turned to look at Zhang Guohua’s brother and Liu Hui, who were nearby, “Zhang Guohua, what do you think?”
The three people present were all cursing inwardly; they knew Zhang Yu wouldn’t be looking forward to the money in Zhang Dagu’s hands, but they were.
But they could not voice their clear awareness; now, in front of Zhang Dagu and the others, what could they say?
“Yeah, Mom and Dad, you have so ti now, and life at ho has gotten better; we can take care of ourselves.”
“You should go out and have so fun now and then.” Zhang Guohua held back his reluctance, only able to encourage Zhang Dagu and his wife to go out and enjoy themselves.
If possible, Zhang Guohua wished Zhang Dagu and his wife would also be reluctant to spend money, prompting them to take the initiative in voicing their disinclination to go out.
Going out for fun?
Zhang Dagu used not to want to, after all, it involved rushing everywhere, not fully enjoying it, and spending a lot.
Zhang Dagu really hated to part with money; he preferred to save it up, but now, he had truly co around.
They were unwilling to spend money, but as a result, their children were eyeing the money in their hands.
“Alright, once the house matter is settled, your Mom and I will go have so fun.” Last ti, an old colleague ntioned that they could rent a house in Sanya and have fun for a month, and it wouldn’t cost much.
Ah, Zhang Guohua hadn’t expected Zhang Dagu to actually bring up the idea of going out for fun himself, and just stared at Zhang Dagu, dumbfounded.
Zhang Shouhua and Liu Hui were quite surprised as well, but they certainly wouldn’t react like Zhang Guohua, since they didn’t have his secure status.
Zhang Dagu actually knew that Zhang Guohua wasn’t sincerely persuading them to have fun, but seeing his expression, Zhang Dagu still felt irritated.
“What’s with that look?” Zhang Dagu’s face drooped, “You’re reluctant, aren’t you?
You don’t want us to go out and have fun.”
“Just say it if that’s the case; why say one thing with your mouth and another in your heart?”
“Fake, really fake.”
“I never would’ve thought you’d use the sa tactics on that you do at the office.” Zhang Dagu gestured with his hand for Zhang Guohua to leave.
“I really don’t want to see you.”
Ah, Zhang Guohua hadn’t expected that his attempt to brownnose would backfire so spectacularly; the awkwardness was unbearable.
He wanted to explain, but could not withstand Zhang Dagu’s blatant disregard and dismissive gestures to leave.
With no other option, Zhang Guohua could only walk away resignedly; Zhang Shouhua and Liu Hui couldn’t dare to laugh.
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, didn’t have such worries and could laugh if she wished, even loudly.
Hearing Zhang Yu’s laughter, Zhang Guohua clenched his fists tighter; if possible, he really wanted to throw a few punches at Zhang Yu.
He simply couldn’t understand; Zhang Yu used to be so easy to bully, and yet now she had beco so difficult to deal with.
But, frustratingly, there was no way to deal with Zhang Yu; she was without wants or desires, leaving him no angle to exploit.
Zhang Guohua also knew, if he had to face off against Zhang Yu, he wouldn’t necessarily lose.
But he dared not; he couldn’t risk Zhang Dagu’s disappointnt and so he had to act submissive.
“Little Yu, can we talk?” Zhang Guohua felt it was still necessary to talk to Zhang Yu.
If he couldn’t win Zhang Yu over, he believed things would beco particularly difficult later on.
And improving relations with Zhang Yu would also be beneficial.
Talk?
Zhang Yu raised her eyebrows; did they realize she was not easy to handle, and now they wanted to make peace?
“No problem.” Zhang Yu strode ahead out the door.
Since it was going to be a talk, Zhang Yu wouldn’t let Zhang Guohua lead; she was going to dictate the pace.
