Chapter 794: Chapter 795: 60s Siheyuan 43_1
Zhang Li looked at the thirty-sothing yuan on the table, “I never expected that the money donated could actually be taken back.”
“Yeah.” Zhang Yu stuffed the money into Zhang Li’s hands, who looked at her puzzled, not understanding why she was being given the money.
When their parents were still around, although they would give so pocket money, it was just a di or two, at most one yuan during the New Year.
Now that Zhang Yu was handing out so much money, how could it not surprise Zhang Li, who looked up at her, not understanding.
It was only after giving the money that Zhang Yu realized she still hadn’t adjusted to the situation; in her eyes, the thirty-sothing yuan was really just pocket money, but at this ti it was quite a sum.
Not to ntion, the amount she earned from a month of hard work at her job wasn’t even as much as this.
But the money had already been given, so was she supposed to regret it and take it back?
After all, she was soone who cared about face, “Sumr vacation is just around the corner, and when the ti cos to buy groceries and such for the family, just consider it an advance from this amount.”
Sotis the market or the supply and marketing cooperative would suddenly have so items in limited quantities, and by the ti she got off work and got ho, they would all have been sold out.
“When our parents were here, they also used to give so money,” Zhang Yu quickly covered up.
Zhang Li rembered during previous winter and sumr vacations, her sister would also take her out to buy things.
But back then she was young and didn’t think too much about it; she just rembered that she needed to follow her sister’s lead.
Now, she also took on the burden that Zhang Yu had borne in the past, “Sis, I will definitely keep good accounts.”
Zhang Yu humd in approval, “Good, even though in many people’s eyes, you’re just a child, in your sister’s eyes, you are an adult.”
“After our parents died, we need to grow up.” Zhang Yu firmly believed that this ti around, she would definitely live longer and should die of old age.
But she also had to live cautiously, especially as the ti approached the original host’s death in her past life, she beca particularly nervous.
Although she tried hard to avoid any mishaps, nobody knew for certain until that day ca.
Now that everyone in the courtyard knew she had so martial arts skills, they considered the previous plan flawed and thought it very likely that they would find another way to make her act.
In the limited ti available, Zhang Yu hoped to train Zhang Li more, making her exercise every day, and to pick up the fitness and self-defense techniques that Zhang Hao had taught them.
Although the little girl probably disliked practicing martial arts, she obediently completed the tasks Zhang Yu entrusted to her.
This relief, knowing that soone skilled in martial arts, even if Sha Zhu and others were calculating, would have to weigh their options a bit more.
Then, she needed to let Zhang Li experience the price levels outside, so that when she saw the money left to her in the future, she would understand what it represented.
She wouldn’t be easily fooled by Yi Zhonghai, and wouldn’t live a miserable life despite having money in hand.
Zhang Yu also believed that with these past few days of turmoil, the little girl would already have a preliminary understanding of the people in the courtyard.
As long as she gained more insight into people’s intentions, even if she still couldn’t change her fate and remained an unnad extra not ntioned in the TV series, she could at least slightly alter the little girl’s destiny.
Yi Zhonghai sat on the stool, his face so gloomy it could drip water; one aunt originally had words she wanted to say to persuade him, but now she didn’t dare to speak.
She knew the old man was very angry and that Yi Zhonghai would definitely not listen to her.
“What a waste of space,” Yi Zhonghai seethed with anger. “I had thought that even if Sha Zhu couldn’t utterly crush Zhang Yu, at least he wouldn’t struggle too much against her.”
“When the ti ca, I would step in and diate their relationship, and Zhang Yu certainly wouldn’t go against .”
“But that kid Sha Zhu turned out to be completely defenseless under Zhang Yu, not even able to put up a fight.”
“If, if it hadn’t been for that idiot Sha Zhu failing to suppress Zhang Yu, would she still be so arrogant?”
Returning the donation was already baffling enough, and on top of that, they had to compensate her, “Damn Zhang Yu.”
“It’s only been a few days, and she has stirred up such a fuss.”
He was earning a high salary, indeed, but he had to consider supporting himself and his spouse in their old age. The reason he was unwilling to adopt a child actually had to do with the reasons he ntioned to Zhang Yu.
What he hadn’t anticipated was that Zhang Yu would actually pick up on this point. She was just a young girl with no special connections here in the central courtyard—only playing with He Yushui and Yan Fugui’s daughter.
How could Yi Zhonghai be willing to admit this? Once Zhang Yu beca so formidable, how would he ever be able to deal with her in the future?
“It must have been Zhang Hao and his wife.” It had to have been the two of them saying sothing to Zhang Yu.
Even though he appeared to have a good relationship with Zhang Hao, Yi Zhonghai knew it was just a superficial friendship. Zhang Hao disapproved of so of his actions and could be said to be highly critical of them.
The Jia Family sched to get the Zhang Family’s house after Zhang Hao and his wife died; the reason he had backed this so staunchly—apart from Jia Dongxu being his disciple—was that he wanted to see Zhang Hao’s daughters struggle, depending on Yi Zhonghai and obeying his word.
“I knew all along that Zhang Hao’s daughters wouldn’t be simple characters,” Yi Zhonghai sighed in various ways around the house.
Sha Zhu lay on the kang, still unable to comprehend what had happened, “How could this be.”
He had never imagined he wouldn’t be able to defeat Zhang Yu, let alone be so easily handled by her with no chance to fight back.
Xu Damao was over the moon today, ceaselessly knocking on Sha Zhu’s door, “Sha Zhu, let in.”
Sha Zhu turned over in displeasure; of course, he knew why Xu Damao wanted to co in—it was to revel in his humiliation, “I’m sleeping.”
“Sleeping?” Xu Damao couldn’t hide his joy, laughing heartily. Although he wasn’t the one who got to teach Sha Zhu a lesson, it didn’t matter—as long as Sha Zhu wasn’t getting the better end, it was the best news.
“Are you sure you can sleep?”
“Today, you were tossed about like a sack by that girl Zhang Yu.”
“And then you were thrown right out.” Just thinking about how Sha Zhu was roughed up today made Xu Damao extrely cheerful.
“Didn’t you always claim to be the war god of the siheyuan? Is this what the war god is capable of?”
“Zhang Yu wasn’t wrong at all; when you and Uncle Zhang sparred, he was actually just giving you face. Otherwise…”
Xu Damao was really curious about Zhang Hao’s fighting abilities, “If Zhang Yu could beat you like a punching bag, Uncle Zhang’s strength must be even more terrifying.”
As Xu Damao kept talking about how Zhang Yu had easily handled him, Sha Zhu really felt unhappy, “Beat it, you—”
He rolled out of bed, ready to teach Xu Damao a lesson. He didn’t believe that if he couldn’t defeat Zhang Yu, dealing with Xu Damao wouldn’t be a piece of cake, right?
But unexpectedly, just as he tried to get up, his body ached terribly, “I’ll spare you today, but tomorrow you’ll see what I’m really capable of.”
