Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Chapter 2238: Chapter 2239: The Cousin Is a Capitalist Heiress 58

Zhang Fu looked at the letter in his hand, his hands trembling, "That, that..."

He was really worried that once he opened the letter, he would see that bad news again. In short, he just didn’t dare to open it.

He glanced at Zhang Gui, who waved his hand dismissively.

He looked at Zhang Tao, who was even more straightforward, raising his head to look at the ceiling and the floor, just avoiding Zhang Fu.

The others did the same and left Zhang Fu with no choice but to open the letter.

Staring at its contents, Zhang Fu was so angry that he cursed because the response was exactly the same as Zhang Yu’s reply.

Those damn bastards, why are they all like this? Zhang Fu really couldn’t hold it in anymore and started cursing people at home.

Xu Ling and Xue Lei’s expressions weren’t much better. They had really thought they were about to be freed, that someone would handle the household chores, and they could eat delicious food.

Although they were angry that Zhang Yu didn’t come back, at least there was Zhang Juan. Though her cooking wasn’t great, they’d admit it was better than theirs, and having someone come back to do chores was a good thing.

Now they really regret their past pickiness that drove Zhang Juan away; otherwise, at least someone would be doing the work, and they wouldn’t be so desolate.

These months, they were genuinely exhausted, doing lots of work, their hands had aged several years. The most frustrating part was that the family was always unsatisfied with their work, either here was wrong or there was wrong.

Several times they wanted to snap back, being nitpicked all day, if they weren’t satisfied, why couldn’t they do it themselves.

Now knowing even Zhang Juan wouldn’t return, they were both angry to death, exchanging glances, "Now neither of those damned girls wants to return. We have to reorganize the household chores."

"It can’t always be us doing them." Xu Ling directly suggested that someone must do the chores.

What? Of course, Zhang Fu and others resisted, but Xu Ling spoke before they could, "You all are heads of the household, you don’t have to do chores."

"Including Zhang Tao, you should handle your own affairs," Xu Ling said sternly.

What? Zhang Tao and the others were genuinely shocked, looking at Xu Ling in disbelief, then at Xue Lei; they really understood that Zhang Yu and Zhang Juan going to the Northeast could still affect them.

Of course, they didn’t want to do chores, protesting in countless ways, but Xu Ling and Xue Lei were determined, adamant about not helping.

Zhang Tao and others were betting if Xu Ling and Xue Lei would relent, leaving their clothes in the room, but this time they truly underestimated Xu Ling and Xue Lei, who didn’t wash their clothes. After all, they weren’t the ones without clothes to wear.

After a few days, Zhang Tao and the others couldn’t hold out anymore; without washing, there were no clean clothes to wear.

The neighbors saw Zhang Tao and his three brothers queueing up to do laundry and were genuinely shocked, really couldn’t believe it.

Everyone in the courtyard, or rather in the neighboring area, envied Zhang Fu and family, where the wives worked and when they returned home they could be like grand lords, doing no chores.

Those of the same age as Zhang Tao envied them as well; no need to do chores, eating well, and importantly, after working, their wages didn’t need to be handed over.

No need to hand them over, not even living expenses, meaning all they earned was for themselves; how could this not make people envious.

Now seeing them needing to do laundry shocked people, each came to watch, and soon neighbors upon hearing it, rushed over.

Zhang Tao and the others were already opposed to doing laundry, and now they discovered so many watching them. They really wanted to go home immediately.

But in the end, they endured, had no choice, easy to return home but without clothes to wear, and even if they went back, would it still be like this next time?

Eventually, they’d be found doing laundry, they figured it’s better to be open about it, let people watch.

Zhang Bin held back his anger, scrubbing the clothes vigorously, and Zhang Tao saw him from the side, knowing he was angry, whispered, "Ease up, or you’ll tear the clothes and have to buy new ones yourself."

Before, acting cute with their parents, they could really get some money, but now that’s just a dream.

Upon hearing, Zhang Bin was indeed cautious, realizing if he tore the clothes and had to pay himself, he’d really cry.

The four of them just bore the pointing fingers and finished washing the clothes swiftly, then hung them on bamboo poles to dry.

Xu Ling and Xue Lei watched them do laundry from inside the house and upon seeing them come in, said, "Not bad, you can wash clothes as well."

"We shouldn’t have to be doing this." Zhang Qiang said angrily, "Just because Zhang Yu doesn’t want to come back, ahhh damn it."

Zhang Qiang blamed it all on Zhang Yu; if she listened and returned, would it be like this?

He gave a heavy snort, "When she gets married and bullied, I definitely won’t be helping."

"She needs a lesson, should be properly taught a lesson." Zhang Bin followed up, "Mom and Dad, Zhang Yu’s affairs in the future, are none of my business."

Zhang Li thought the same, "Right, even if she’s beaten half dead in the future, don’t expect me to go help. How she’s treating us now and still expecting us to help in the future, that’s impossible."

"I’ll just pretend I didn’t give birth to that daughter." Zhang Fu held a lot of resentment against Zhang Yu, "Absolutely won’t let her return to the city."

"And Zhang Juan too," Zhang Bin added, he already disliked Zhang Yu among his sisters, now there’s Zhang Juan, who used to be so obedient but now like this, it’s excessive, really too much.

Zhang Yu had no idea that because of household chores the resentful people of the Zhang Family reached agreement about her.

Of course, she definitely wouldn’t care about this, after all, after leaving Zhang Family with her luggage, she knew the relationship was completely severed.

Once Zhang Fu and his wife turned sixty, she’d send them living expenses monthly, fulfilling her duty as their daughter.

But that’s all future matters; now she was looking at the newly delivered luxury watch, staring at it again and again. Previously, Zhao Yadong mentioned an imported luxury watch suitable for her, thinking it was Rolex. Little did she know it was a future noble watch brand, she hadn’t worn one before, but owned many luxury watches in the past.

Just unexpectedly, "You said these two together cost five hundred?"

Zhao Yadong nodded, "Yes, I thought both were quite nice; I couldn’t decide, so I thought you could choose."

Choose? Is there a need to choose? Zhang Yu made a big decision, "I’ll take both."

Five hundred was good, but incomparable to these two watches, not encountering them was one thing, but missing them now would make her cry, she had to get them, absolutely couldn’t miss out.
