Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Chapter 2216: Chapter 2217: My Cousin Is a Capitalist Heiress 36

After today’s big embarrassment, Zhang Hui obviously wouldn’t show up in front of Qian Hao and Zhao Yadong, especially the latter, who she knew would unreservedly laugh out loud.

Qian Hao went into the house and didn’t see Zhang Hui, not surprised at all. If she appeared after what happened, that would be the strange thing.

Zhao Yadong knew Zhang Hui’s room was next door and suspected she might be leaning against the wall eavesdropping, "Should we start eating? Not wait for your sister."

Just listening to the voice, one wouldn’t think there’s a problem; it just seemed like a caring question. But seeing someone’s mischievous expression, it’s clear he asked deliberately.

"I just brought her meal; she felt a bit cold," Zhang Yu quickly replied, "By the way, are you going to the city tomorrow? If you are, can you help me mail some stuff?"

Zhao Yadong acknowledged, "What stuff?"

"Dried vegetables, I want to mail them to a few friends." She pointed to several parcels on the kang and casually handed him ten yuan.

Zhao Yadong acknowledged, willing to help with this small favor since it was convenient for him. He was about to pocket the money when he noticed a note, asking to mail a letter too.

Looking at Zhang Yu confusedly, he wondered, is there really a need for such secrecy just to mail a letter?

Zhao Yadong knew Zhang Yu had a reason for doing this, so he asked quietly, "Is there a problem with this letter?"

"I want you to help mail it from home; send it to Zhang Li, my cousin, Zhang Hui’s brother." Zhang Yu knew she couldn’t hide this from Zhao Yadong, "My real brother is engaged with the child of a family leader."

"I just think being a cousin, Zhang Li shouldn’t just settle for any wife, right? He needs a match too."

"Since I’ve learned about this from a friend’s mouth, I can’t pretend I don’t know about it." She indeed intended to introduce a wife to Zhang Li who could be of help.

Qian Hao was eating quietly, but upon hearing Zhang Yu planning to introduce such a wife to Zhang Hui’s brother, he felt something was off.

Zhao Yadong looked at Zhang Yu with a face that said, "Go on, keep bluffing."

Ah, see, they were villagers, and if it weren’t for this campaign, they wouldn’t have known each other, yet in such a short time, they’ve gotten so familiar. Ah, "Too familiar."

"I just want the family to be lively, so they won’t focus on me here," Zhang Yu spoke diplomatically, but Qian Hao and the others understood the meaning.

Zhao Yadong knew Zhang Yu wasn’t particularly close with her family, "If Zhang Hui’s brother married the daughter of a leader’s family, wouldn’t his promotion be easier."

"Yeah, but if she’s pampered by her family, dreaming of marrying high."

"My classmate knows a bit about her family’s situation, knows Zhang Li works with her, and said Zhang Li won’t have it easy in the future." Zhang Yu was happily smiling.

"Since they know the other party won’t have a good temper, my uncle values face, my brother found such a prominent daughter-in-law, they surely have their thoughts."

"As a good sister, of course, I have to consider them. Knowing this news, naturally, I have to let them know." Zhang Yu spoke with such conviction.

Zhao Yadong suddenly asked, "Then why don’t you just mail it directly."

"If I mailed it myself, and Zhang Li really pursued the other party, Zhang Gui wouldn’t be grateful, thinking it was all Zhang Li’s prowess to win the other party."

"Zhang Hui might not be so happy; my parents, including my uncle, like Zhang Hui, always considering her, but if two daughters-in-law with background enter the house, would they be happy with Zhang Hui’s treatment at the Zhang Family?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yadong understood, but he still didn’t see why Zhang Yu did it, "If they start causing trouble, you won’t escape the fallout either."

They all knew the Zhang Family sent Zhang Yu fifteen yuan monthly, which is what she earned with labor. Once the Zhang Family ceases sending money to Zhang Hui, why would they still send her money?

"I don’t really care; do you think I need it?" Zhang Yu honestly didn’t need the money, "I initially asked for it to let them know my work doesn’t come free."

"They can’t assume I’m just supposed to take care of Zhang Hui."

"Besides, if the Zhang family doesn’t send me money, it’s Zhang Hui who’ll be anxious, not me." Zhang Yu initially thought the previous ruckus would give Zhang Hui a sense of urgency, making her try doing chores, but things stayed as they were.

"Having money was great, but some people just can’t stop stirring things, telling me to remember to be grateful to my parents, to remember their sacrifices."

"It’s hilarious, but if anyone else said this, I’d listen, yet Zhang Hui took so much money from home, what did she send back? She’s someone who leeches off the Zhang family, and she’s talking to me about filial piety."

"Ah." Even Zhao Yadong, who often traveled outside, knew Zhang Hui often remained holed up inside unless necessary, avoiding going out. She surely hadn’t made time to forage mushrooms to mail back home, "But didn’t your family at least give 20, directly asking to buy something in the village."

Many villagers were willing to sell; Zhang Hui wasn’t short of money.

"She has money, but it’s not enough for herself." Buying delicious food, hoping to wear pretty clothes, with only that monthly amount, obviously it’s not enough.

"She hopes I mail things home, then my family could boast she sent them; how nice, does nothing, postage is mine, reputation is hers." In a past life, the original person was such a fool, Zhang Hui had a great reputation at home, while Zhang Yu was a comparison point, the unfilial daughter.

This lifetime, Zhang Yu first ruined her reputation, while also tarnishing the Zhang Family’s image, when they speak ill of her outside, people might think it’s because Zhang Fu had high demands.

Zhao Yadong immediately understood, "My family is the same, telling me Northeast’s rice is good, praising this and that, mentioning other kids from the neighborhood sent dried vegetables back."

When Zhang Yu heard him say this, she immediately looked at Qian Hao; they were neighbors.

"My family moved away, we’re no longer neighbors, plus my mom wouldn’t discuss these things with them." Qian Hao quickly stated it had nothing to do with his family.

"Who knows where they heard it from, but I bet if anyone goes to the Northeast as an intellectual youth, they’ll certainly dig around, find what their child sent home, then tell me."

"I have a consistent stance, want stuff, sure, pay up, when becoming an intellectual youth, my family didn’t prepare anything, after arriving here, they haven’t mailed a thread, yet brazenly making such requests."

"Don’t let them fool you, talk of family hardships, saying later on conditions improve, they’ll do this and that, it’s all just tricks, you must have control over your money." Zhao Yadong knew since young, his parents didn’t favor him, he had to fight for himself.

Zhang Yu nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, I know, I’m not foolish."

Not foolish? Zhao Yadong had heard her and her sister chatting; this girl was truly dumb back then.

He remained silent, but Zhang Yu understood what he meant. What could she do? She was indeed trapped by the original person. What could be done? Now, she could only play dumb, what else could be done?
