Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Chapter 2233: Chapter 2234: The Cousin Is a Capitalist Heiress 53

After Zhang Yu returned to the village, she quickly started making lunch, as there was work to be done in the afternoon.

When Zhang Juan got back, she happened to catch Zhang Hui after work and seized the moment to talk about the whole situation, "Sis, you really have no idea how awful Zhang Yu is. I’ve never met someone so horrible."

Zhang Hui truly agreed with Zhang Juan’s description of Zhang Yu, "But there’s nothing we can do; she’s really assertive now."

She didn’t expect that even when invoking Zhang Fu’s name, Zhang Yu didn’t care at all. This left Zhang Hui really clueless about what to do.

"By the way, sis, don’t worry, when the two of us cook for ourselves, we promise we won’t eat worse than Zhang Yu," Zhang Juan’s mood lifted as she remembered Zhang Yu previously suggesting they eat separately.

Ah, Zhang Hui glanced at the excited Zhang Juan, really perplexed about why just such a small thing could make this girl so happy.

"Oh, I heard Zhang Yu intends to give you money for the pot. I’m just thinking, that pot has been used for half a year, can’t we buy it at a cheaper price?"

"If she doesn’t have a pot, won’t she still have to come over to help us cook?" Zhang Juan really admired herself; she was truly a smart cookie.

This idea was nice, but unfortunately useless, "When we bought the pot, I paid the money, Zhang Yu used the coupons. At the time, she said if we ate separately, she’d give me the money because she provided the industrial coupons."

Zhang Hui also considered taking the pot, thinking Zhang Yu wouldn’t budge, but such a thought barely surfaced before she suppressed it, "We made agreements back then, briefly mentioned how we bought the pot."

"We also agreed on how to handle this pot once we split up." Zhang Hui sighed helplessly, "Oh, didn’t we write a letter home asking them to prepare the industrial coupons for us? I just want to buy a pot."

Yesterday, Zhang Juan was extremely excited, asking all sorts of questions, like whether Zhang Yu was unlucky and how the family disliked Zhang Yu, but didn’t mention this matter.

Industrial coupons? Zhang Juan looked at Zhang Yu in confusion, "What industrial coupons? My mom and dad and my uncle and aunt didn’t give me any."

None? Zhang Hui was truly shocked, "They, they actually didn’t prepare anything for me? That’s not right, I mentioned my situation here. They shouldn’t have not received the letter."

Zhang Juan shook her head, "None, but if it’s industrial coupons, they probably won’t give you any. The family is tight too."

"No way, isn’t it supposed to be distributed with the salary?" Zhang Fu and the others are considered small leaders, earning decent salaries, and the industrial coupons are okay. Ever since the coupon policy started, Zhang Hui hasn’t seen them worry about this.

How is it that now their salaries are up, with two more people earning salaries in the family, yet the industrial coupons don’t seem enough anymore?

"Brother is dating a girlfriend, preparing for the bride price or something, so industrial coupons are tight."

"And Zhang Li, you wouldn’t know, he just confirmed his relationship with Qiao Xue and bought her loads of things."

"Bought a coat, leather shoes, and I heard he’s preparing to buy a watch." Zhang Juan glanced at the watch on Zhang Hui’s wrist, truly beautiful, making one envious, jealous, and hateful.

"I heard they’ve got their eye on a new Shanghai brand woman’s watch; it’s gorgeous, just the watch itself costs over two hundred." Zhang Juan spoke enviously.

Over two hundred for a watch? Zhang Hui, hearing that Zhang Li bought Qiao Xue a coat and leather shoes, already felt a bit uneasy, and now hearing they plan to buy a watch over two hundred made it really hard to maintain the smile on her face.

"Are they really going to buy her such an expensive watch?" Zhang Hui immediately sensed the oddity, "How do you know Zhang Li’s girlfriend is Qiao Xue?"

Clearly, previous family letters instructed to keep it a secret until it was stable, not to let the uncle and others find out. How did Zhang Juan get to know this news? Strange.

Zhang Hui’s first thought was that maybe Zhang Yu leaked the information. After all, besides her, there was no one else.

"I, I found out." Zhang Juan noticed Zhang Hui’s expression wasn’t great, thinking she didn’t know about this matter, "You wouldn’t know, Zhang Li’s girlfriend’s family is really powerful."

Xu Ling learned this news from Zhang Juan’s mouth, and of course went out quickly to investigate. After learning Qiao Xue’s name, they quickly found out about her family’s situation.

"And sis, you wouldn’t believe it, despite having some influence, they still managed to be so excessive."

Zhang Juan babbled about how the Qiao family planned to marry off Qiao Xue to a thrice-married man from GWH, "If it weren’t for the fact that Qiao Xue looks so much like her dad, you really wouldn’t dare to imagine it was her dad."

Hearing this, Zhang Hui was utterly gobsmacked and couldn’t believe it, "You’re saying the Qiao family is arranging a match for Qiao Xue."

"And it’s arranged with someone from GWH, who is already twice-married, so wouldn’t it be a third marriage if there were another?" Zhang Hui couldn’t believe it.

Pausing for a moment, "Could this information be wrong? How is it possible? Isn’t the Qiao family’s background pretty good, why would they arrange such a match?"

With slightly better family conditions, they wouldn’t introduce such matches for their daughters, "If this gets out, can the Qiao family’s daughter still get married in the future?"

"Qiao Xue is the only daughter in this generation of the Qiao family, so the family doesn’t really care." Zhang Juan paused, "Besides, it’s just a daughter, sons are much more important."

Zhang Juan initially thought Zhang Hui would be the exception, but in the end, she couldn’t compare to sons.

Zhang Hui wasn’t naive; of course, she knew Zhang Juan was stirring up conflict, but she also spoke the undeniable truth. However, the simmering frustration couldn’t be contained any longer.

After finishing lunch, she told Zhang Yu about the matter, leaving Zhang Juan stunned, thinking Zhang Hui would absolutely dislike Zhang Yu due to her antics, but what’s surprising was how their relationship wasn’t as bad as anticipated.

Zhang Yu quietly listened to Zhang Hui, understanding she’d undoubtedly be heartbroken now, given how she was raised with so much love, "It’s normal, after all, Zhang Li is his son."

"Now that his son needs something, of course his parents will step in."

"Think about what you told me back then about overcoming difficulties together; it just cracks me up."

"I work all year round, cooking for you, doing your laundry, cleaning up after you, and I earn just a little money all year."

"Yet after people barely establish a relationship, there’s a coat, leather shoes, and now scrounging for coupons to buy a watch. If there are coupons available, buying this watch would be a matter of minutes."

Given such a good opportunity, of course, Zhang Yu couldn’t miss the chance to add fuel to fire, "I wonder does the girl have a bicycle? If not, would they need to buy one then?"

From Zhang Gui’s family of three trying to cozy up to the Qiao family, it’s clear this is highly possible.

Zhang Hui truly admired Zhang Yu; she was genuinely perceptive, and the impossible things she thought back then ended up being guessed right, "That’s really possible."

"Qiao Xue has a bicycle." Zhang Juan said she rode a Phoenix brand ladies’ bicycle, "Few in number, not cheap, but truly beautiful."

Zhang Juan was truly envious, and Zhang Yu took a look and knew what she was thinking, "Stop dreaming, they haven’t bought one for Zhang Hui, would they buy one for you?"

Not happy, truly not happy, though it’s the truth, Zhang Yu’s words still hurt Zhang Juan.
