Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Chapter 2230: Chapter 2231: The Cousin Is a Capitalist Heiress 50

Zhang Yu eagerly welcomed Zhang Juan to rush over, but the Zhang Family was completely turned upside down.

It wasn’t until Xu Ling’s mother waited for the street’s notification that they learned about this matter, truly stunned.

"Why... why would you think of becoming an intellectual youth?" Xu Ling looked at Zhang Juan standing firmly in front of her, just itching to give her a good lesson.

"I just want to go." They say being an intellectual youth is really tough, and after half a year, Zhang Juan indeed felt very tired, having done so many things, not at all easy, and constantly being criticized for not being good enough.

Now she somewhat understands why Zhang Yu was so happy knowing she was going to the Northeast as an intellectual youth. Well, wouldn’t you be happy?

Every day, upon waking up, there are many tasks waiting for her to do, busy from morning till night, with hardly any rest time, truly exhausting. She had told her parents countless times how hard it was.

Yet even so, her parents still feel she didn’t do well enough, endlessly comparing her to Zhang Yu. "I just want to go."

"If I stay here, you think everything is wrong with me. You’ve always said I don’t do as well as Zhang Yu. Since that’s the case, I’ll go to the Northeast, I’ll find her, and learn properly with her."

"As for mom, you say I secretly registered to go because I was worried that if you knew, you wouldn’t bear it."

"Mom, don’t worry. Once I’m there, I will take good care of my sister and definitely won’t be like Zhang Yu, causing trouble from time to time." Zhang Juan made various promises.

Xu Ling didn’t want to hear these promises at all. "Have you thought about what will happen at home?"

"With so many things at home, you just leave like this, what about all the household chores?" Xu Ling could only think about having to share the chores with Xue Lei, getting a headache from all the tasks coming their way.

What to do? Zhang Juan inwardly cursed, "Isn’t there still you, mom, and aunty? Mom, you often say that it’s just a few chores and you can get them done quickly."

"Aunty also mentioned doing these tasks is easy, and you’ve said you started working from an early age, saying these tasks can’t be compared to when you were young."

"It’s thinking about these that I decided to go to the Northeast to take care of my sister, otherwise I can’t be at ease." Hmph, you keep saying these chores aren’t heavy at all, that they are simple, then let them do it.

"Mom, rest assured, when I’m in the Northeast, I’ll definitely work hard, and if there’s anything I can’t do, I’ll definitely ask Zhang Yu for guidance."

Looking at Zhang Juan standing before her, Xu Ling was really very angry. Now, she really regrets having said those things in the past, originally wanting to teach her two daughters to be diligent, but now those words come to bite her.

Yet she couldn’t protest, fizzing with anger, as she truly worked hard during her youth. Not working earnestly, the strict mother wouldn’t spare her, mild beatings, or severe beatings without meals.

Over the years, Zhang Yu had been doing the chores, and she had relaxed quite a bit. Now, to suddenly take on housework, thinking about all the tasks waiting for her, darkness overtook her vision.

What panicked her more was that Deng Jie had long said she wouldn’t do housework, and she had agreed when Deng Jie entered, she could eat with the elders without needing them to work, though responsible for chores within their own home.

Back then, her thinking was to coax Zhang Tao’s wife into coming home, not worrying about chores, which was never a problem, as long as Zhang Yu was around, it was her task.

But before the wife entered, Zhang Yu went to the Northeast, which certainly bewildered Xu Ling. Still, no worries, Zhang Juan is here, groom her well then.

Yet before Zhang Juan had been trained, she was going to the Northeast to be an intellectual youth. What to do, Xu Ling pondered this dilemma; that wretched child was already going to the Northeast, no way to snatch her back from the street.

Damn it, Xu Ling stared malevolently at Zhang Juan, admitting she favored boys over girls, yet thought she treated her daughter pretty well, only for this child to do such a thing.

Xu Ling made up her mind, when Zhang Juan goes on assignment, she definitely won’t prepare things for her, letting her learn the consequences of not listening to parents.

Zhang Juan knew her actions would surely leave her parents dissatisfied and unhappy, but she wasn’t worried at all. "Mom, I know you have a lot of dissatisfaction with me, maybe you’re thinking of not preparing anything for me?"

"Mom, when Zhang Yu and Zhang Hui went to the Northeast, you prepared a lot of things, why when it’s my turn, nothing is being prepared?"

"Mom, you probably don’t want neighbors saying you’re biased, right?"

"Oh, by the way, I’ve also told the neighbors that I’m going to the Northeast as an intellectual youth, to be with Zhang Yu and them." Zhang Juan didn’t want to request as firmly as Zhang Yu but lacked such courage.

But it didn’t matter, she could leverage external forces, smiling at Xu Ling.

Xu Ling was furious, knowing Zhang Juan was effectively threatening her, really wanting to discipline her well, but staring at her smiling face, restrained herself.

She worried that should she reprimand this girl, it’d be spread right away, and once someone with intent heard it, no telling how it’d escalate.

"Mom, I don’t ask for much, just prepare as you did for Zhang Yu back then, I want these things too." Zhang Juan recalled a few days ago, thinking she could exchange for some items.

Preparing as much as for Zhang Yu, Xu Ling’s first reaction was who gave her such gall, dreaming too big.

"Mom, I’ll tell you something, something where you won’t lose out." Zhang Juan said this news exchange for those items was truly worth it, "Also, you’ll have a good reputation of being called a good mother."

Zhang Juan knew how to make Xu Ling happy; wasn’t it just saying some sweet words? Not difficult.

Though Xu Ling was somewhat lost in the flattery Zhang Juan spoke, she maintained some clarity, "Speak, what’s the news."

"Let me tell you, if this news isn’t really something, then forget about expecting me to prepare things for you." Xu Ling unceremoniously laid down the harsh words.

"Rest assured mom, it won’t disappoint you." Zhang Juan quietly mentioned the thing she had seen earlier.

Xu Ling suspiciously looked at Zhang Juan, "You didn’t see wrong, right? I haven’t heard your uncle mention this."

"I don’t know, but mom, you can inquire."

"My brother’s colleagues know a bit about it too." Zhang Juan knew no matter how much she spoke, her parents wouldn’t necessarily believe, "I know tomorrow my brother is going to watch a movie," recalling hearing about this.

"Mom, you could follow him to see, isn’t it just a visit to the bank?" Zhang Juan encouraged.

Xu Ling stared at Zhang Juan for a long while, "I’ll be tracking if it’s fake tomorrow, just you wait..."

"I guarantee it’s absolutely true." Zhang Juan almost swore, after Xu Ling returned to her room, she contemplated for a long time, feeling Zhang Juan’s claim was very credible. These days, she also noticed Zhang Li behaving oddly, simply assumed it was this kid adapting to work, never imagined it was dating.

Not just dating, why so secretive, not mentioning it, very odd; don’t know if Xue Lei knows, if she doesn’t, then that’s interesting. Thinking about this, Xu Ling grew increasingly excited.
