Chapter 2229: Chapter 2230: Cousin Is a Capitalist Heiress 49

Zhang Hui saw the two letters that arrived and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow; Zhang Gui wrote her a letter. She wondered how it was written.

As for the other letter, it was mailed by Zhang Fu. Looking at this not-so-thin letter, it was truly a bit incredible.

It was known that coming to the Northeast as an intellectual youth, only she mailed two letters back home every month regularly, whereas the letters Zhang Fu and the others sent to her were really few, and even those were handed over through Zhang Hui.

The content of those letters was nothing other than reprimanding her for how poorly she was doing, how she didn’t consider the Zhang Family.

Zhang Yu merely glanced at it and directly burned the letter. Such letters that really upset the mood were unnecessary to keep to ruin one’s feelings.

This time there were actually two letters directly mailed to her, which surprised Zhang Yu.

Thinking about it, she decided to read what Zhang Fu wrote in the letter first. It should most probably be scolding her, saying she would rather mail things to strangers than to family, calling her an ungrateful wretch.

Alright then, she reads a page of the letter, and it really was scolding. Zhang Yu rudely rolled her eyes; she must be sick to have opened this letter first.

Sigh, well, since it’s already opened, she may as well continue reading to see how harsh the scolding is.

But as she read further, she realized something was off. "Zhang Juan, she’s, she’s actually going to be an intellectual youth?"

"And she’s coming here." Zhang Yu tried hard to recall, to delve into the memories of the original owner, and sure enough, not to mention Zhang Juan coming to the Northeast as an intellectual youth, she never even became one.

Barely stumbling through high school graduation, during which the policy to go to the countryside wasn’t that strict, plus Zhang Fu managed to find a job, Zhang Juan stayed behind.

A perfectly capable Zhang Juan who could stay in the city — why would she become an intellectual youth? Could it be because she was disobedient, Zhang Fu and Family weren’t satisfied, and sent Zhang Juan over to take care of Zhang Hui?

However, upon further reading, Zhang Yu realized that wasn’t the case; it wasn’t Zhang Fu and Family wanting Zhang Juan to become an intellectual youth. She had stolen the family’s residence registry and registered at the street office.

"Huh?" Zhang Yu was shocked. She remembered when they both left, she mentioned if they couldn’t bear leaving Zhang Hui, they could apply to the Northeast as intellectual youths, but they avoided the topic.

During these days, Zhang Hui often complained in her letters about how tough life was in the Northeast, which should have frightened those people and made them reluctant to become intellectuals themselves. How come Zhang Juan agreed to it?

"Seems like things are a mess in the Zhang Family right now." Zhang Yu was quite certain, unless they had no other choice, Zhang Juan would never willingly become an intellectual youth in the Northeast.

"It’s good then. When she comes here, at least someone can take care of Zhang Hui, and I can rest." With this thought, Zhang Yu felt quite happy.

Taking care of around ten people reduced to taking care of Zhang Hui was indeed a lot easier, and Zhang Juan should likely have no objections.

Just unsure if Zhang Juan would still be upset upon discovering that caring for Zhang Hui comes with no income, whether she’d burst into anger, or if she’d ask for money.

Zhang Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up at the thought that after Zhang Juan arrives, there might be even more drama occurring.

But there’s still one problem. With Zhang Juan also becoming an intellectual youth, who will handle Zhang Family’s household chores?

Rely on Xu Ling or count on Xue Lei? Zhang Yu felt Zhang Fu and Zhang Gui would soon have a falling out.

If they truly had a conflict, Zhang Yu could only say, thank goodness for Zhang Juan. If not for her series of actions, things wouldn’t have progressed so quickly.

Zhang Yu decided that once Zhang Juan arrived in the Northeast, she must consistently advocate that if Zhang Fu and the others don’t pay labor fees, there’s no issue; Zhang Hui is still there.

As Zhang Hui’s sister, here to care for her, if the family doesn’t pay the little girl, Zhang Hui shouldn’t act clueless and not offer hardship fees.

If Zhang Hui repeatedly cries about insufficient money, then truly, Zhang Yu has no means to chip in some cash, given she’s also a person without an income, unable to show sympathy for Zhang Hui.

Yes, that’s the plan. Zhang Yu set down the letter intending to find Zhang Hui, since such a significant matter shouldn’t be kept from her.

Just as she was about to leave, she noticed the letter on the kang table, recalling she hadn’t looked at the letter Zhang Gui had sent her.

Quickly opening it, she discovered the message that Zhang Li and Qiao Xue had privately pledged themselves to each other, and no one could disrupt it.

Though Zhang Gui’s letter was brief, it was essentially telling Zhang Yu that even if she wrote to Zhang Fu, it was inconsequential.

Zhang Yu merely uttered an "oh." Since Zhang Gui said so, as his good niece, naturally she must comply.

She picked up the letter paper and efficiently wrote to Zhang Fu, naturally directly placing Zhang Gui’s letter in the envelope.

Regarding whether Zhang Fu receives the letter or Zhang Gui does, it’s left to fate; she truly sent the message.

With the letter ready, she waited until evening when Zhao Yadong came for dinner, intending to hand him the letter.

Ever since discovering Zhao Yadong frequently went to the city, Zhang Yu had always mailed letters directly through Zhao Yadong, as it quickened the process.

With the letter prepared, Zhang Yu took Zhang Fu’s letter to Zhang Hui’s room.

Zhang Hui had also just learned that Zhang Juan was coming to the Northeast, specifically to care for her, of which she was truly averse.

Though Zhang Juan wasn’t as efficient as Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu charged money, her cooking was delicious, and her work efficient.

As for Zhang Juan’s work, it was truly disastrous. Though she hadn’t experienced it, Xue Lei had complained countless times, saying Zhang Juan’s cooking was merely edible, and the clothes she washed weren’t especially clean.

Recalling Xue Lei’s many complaints about Zhang Juan, Zhang Hui was filled with dissatisfaction toward her, yet she had no choice, as the family had decided. Since Zhang Juan insisted on going to the Northeast to care for her, Zhang Fu and Family naturally chose the obedient Zhang Juan.

Zhang Hui knew now, regardless of what she said or how she expressed her dissatisfaction, the Zhang Family wouldn’t care. Seeing Zhang Yu, she felt wronged. "Sister, the little sister, she’s actually coming to the Northeast to steal your job."

Zhang Hui thought, Zhang Yu used to put on a show, knowing no one would steal her job, hence the constant fuss.

Now it’s different; Zhang Juan is coming, and Zhang Yu should be quite nervous.

"I know," Zhang Yu cheerfully waved the letter paper in her hand. "Zhang Juan is coming soon; I’m genuinely relieved. From now on, you won’t need to worry about being angered half to death."

"Zhang Juan listens well to you. If you say go east, she wouldn’t dare go west. Whereas I am different, I would always go against you."

Zhang Yu continuously congratulated Zhang Hui, "Your good days are just around the corner."

"My good days are coming too." Zhang Yu happily danced around.

Looking at the elated Zhang Yu, Zhang Hui really wanted to say she was pretending, definitely pretending, yet seeing Zhang Yu’s genuinely happy smile, she couldn’t say she was putting on an act.
