Zhang Dagu had never thought that Zhang Yu would hang up the phone so quickly, which infuriated the old man.
“Such an unfilial daughter.”
“It’s a good thing we didn’t give her a house; otherwise, given her attitude, I can’t imagine how she would act towards me after getting the house.”
Zhang Guohua and the others listened quietly to Zhang Dagu criticize how unfilial Zhang Yu was, feeling the same way themselves.
Upon hearing this, Chiang Yun sighed helplessly.
What could she say?
Without Zhang Yu’s return, neither Du Xia nor Zhang Hong would lift a finger to do any work.
If everything depended on her alone, she truly wouldn’t be able to keep things under control.
After learning of Zhang Yu’s words, Du Xia felt unhappy as well.
After all, if Zhang Yu stayed away, Zhang Dagu and his wife would be living together with Zhang Guohua and his family.
The old couple already favored their eldest son, and wouldn’t that just increase their favoritism, with the possibility of the parents’ money gradually ending up in Zhang Guohua and his wife’s hands?
What mattered most was that Zhang Yi hadn’t attended college and might be getting married in a couple of years.
The money for the betrothal and the house renovations was no small sum, and Zhang Guohua and his wife were definitely hoping for financial help from Zhang Dagu and his wife.
No, no matter what, they had to get some money out of Zhang Dagu and his wife first; otherwise, when Zhang Xin studied abroad, the old couple would really only be able to offer verbal support.
“Zhang Yu just told me that if she comes back, she will stay in a hotel.
Since she is so stubborn, let her stay in a hotel.”
“I want to see how much money she has to be so cocky.”
“With that little salary of hers, she’s already starting to float away with a bit of money.”
“She didn’t even consider that if it weren’t for living at home all these years, how could she survive on that little salary?”
To Zhang Dagu, what kind of salary could Zhang Yu have made as a junior accountant for so many years?
“Even if her workplace solved the housing issue, doesn’t she have to pay for utilities?”
Zhang Hong had a brief chat with Zhang Yu and knew about the housing situation her company provided, “The company pays for the utility and management fees.”
Just thinking about it made Zhang Hong envious.
Going out to work already came with a subsidy, and now the company was paying for utilities and rent; the treatment was indeed very good.
Ah?
Zhang Dagu hadn’t expected that companies would provide housing without charging rent or utilities, which took him by surprise. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
“But, if she’s alone, doesn’t she have to eat and use the bathroom?”
“Can she really save on food when she’s alone?” In any case, for Zhang Dagu, he didn’t want to see Zhang Yu living a prosperous life.
Because if so, didn’t that prove that Zhang Yu hadn’t made something of herself because she had spent too much time and energy on her parents?
Would Zhang Yu truly struggle?
Aside from Zhang Dagu and his wife, the rest at the scene really believed that Zhang Yu would do just fine.
Zhang Yu could cook and clean; she was an efficient worker.
Once she had weekends free without being busy all day, she could do whatever she wanted.
Zhang Hong suddenly remembered Zhang Yu had once mentioned, “I think our little sister might go for her CPA certification.”
Zhang Guohua and the others certainly knew what a CPA was, and even though Zhang Dagu and his wife didn’t know about this certification, they learned about it through Zhang Guohua’s explanation.
Regarding this, Zhang Dagu could only say, “She’s going for such a certification?”
“How is that possible?
If she could pass it, why didn’t she go for it when she was younger?”
“Now that she’s older and has been out of school for years, can she still pass it?”
“If she could, I don’t know how many people would be passing.” Zhang Dagu kept expressing his doubts.
Zhang Guohua also thought it over; even the younger people in his workplace, who had graduated from far better universities than Zhang Yu, hadn’t passed it despite several years of trying.
Could Zhang Yu, with her academic record, really manage to get certified?
Zhang Guohua thought it improbable.
“Dad, I think it’s good that our little sister wants to give it a try,” Zhang Guohua reasoned, “After all, she has spare time over there.”
“Reading more books is a good thing.”
What if she had too much personal time and ended up meeting a man outside?
Could they still count on Zhang Yu to help with Zhang Yi’s marriage then?
Even if she wasn’t swayed by a man stirring up trouble and demanding a share of the family property, her lack of support would be enough to infuriate them.
It must be said that when it came to scheming against Zhang Yu, the members of the Zhang family all shared the same thought: Zhang Yu hadn’t married when she was young, so there was even less reason for her to marry now that she was middle-aged.
Zhang Dagu thought his eldest son made a good point, “Reading does help.”
“At the very least, it can improve oneself and make it harder for people to be deceived.”
In Zhang Dagu’s eyes, Zhang Yu was someone who could easily be fooled.
Zhang Yu was unaware of these thoughts; even if she knew, there was nothing she could do about it since the person saying it was Zhang Dagu, her father.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yu took out the books she bought today and began to read.
“I must say, CPA is really not easy,” Zhang Yu quickly flipped through the book, acknowledging its difficulty.
“But no matter, I must read it.”
“Keep going, keep going,” Zhang Yu encouraged herself non-stop.
While reading the book and taking notes, Zhang Yu realized, “It truly won’t do without lessons.”
Although the book was quite detailed, it’s always better to have things sorted out by a teacher first.
Then, when reading the book again, things would click into place.
“I can’t skimp on the costs of classes,” Zhang Yu looked up at the time and gosh, it was almost midnight.
She quickly went to take a shower and apply a face mask.
Since arriving here, Zhang Yu had been very attentive to her skincare routine, often doing face masks as part of her regular care.
But with so much to do every day, especially around the stove on weekends, could her skin remain in good condition?
As an unmarried older woman, Zhang Yu thought maintaining her current skin condition was an achievement, given that the original owner of her body had decent assets.
Nevertheless, she couldn’t be negligent and needed to remain attentive.
After a full skincare routine, Zhang Yu lay in bed, briefly scanned a few more pages, and then prepared to turn off the light and rest.
“Good night.
Today has really been a very fortunate day.”
Slowly progressing with her plan, she was confident that, with her effort, she should be able to earn the certification.
Of course, what made her even happier was that there must be conflicts brewing at the Zhang household, “Looking forward to Chiang Yun’s counterattack tomorrow.”
