Zhang Yu’s words stunned everyone present, including Zhang Yi, who had been heading downstairs to get some fruit and had frozen in place.
An annual income of a hundred thousand yuan, you have to understand that after a year of hustling, he only made about forty thousand, and even that was higher than many of his classmates’ salaries.
He looked down on Zhang Yu, thinking that even after working for over ten years, she was still just a university graduate and only earned a salary of sixty to seventy thousand.
Yet now, she was actually making an additional thirty to forty thousand.
Zhang Yi felt a bit regretful; he should not have called out Zhang Yu by name that day.
“Little auntie,” Zhang Yi was still thick-skinned, greeting her warmly.
Seeing Zhang Yi enthusiastically calling her, she knew this guy was definitely shocked by her income, “Hello.”
You don’t slap a smiling face, so Zhang Yu also greeted Zhang Yi warmly, “Little Yi.”
Zhang Dagu had originally intended for Zhang Yu to transfer back.
If that wasn’t possible, he thought she should change jobs since she had experience working in finance at a large company, and she would still be able to find a job.
He hadn’t expected that she would now be earning such a high salary.
If she quit this job and looked for another, he didn’t know if she would be able to find one with such high pay.
“I know you earn a good salary, but you can’t give that up,” Zhang Dagu felt Zhang Yu was now quite accomplished, and he wanted to treat his daughter even better.
“It’s okay, I’m on my own.
Just like you used to say, Dad, ‘One full belly does not feed the family.’ I won’t argue with my brother and the others.”
“If the house is divided into four parts, it’s already a bit too little.
If I take away another single room, then you and Mom get a two-bedroom house.”
In her previous life, with one more person—her—, they had taken a three-bedroom.
Of course, at the persuasion of Zhang Guohua and his wife, she got a large room, using the excuse that she had a lot of things and that she was living with Zhang Dagu and his wife.
And Zhang Guohua and his family had a two-bedroom, all contributing some money.
This time, they would probably contribute less, right?
When Du Xia and the others heard Zhang Yu repeatedly say that she didn’t want a house, they also breathed a sigh of relief.
If they took four two-bedroom houses, they really wouldn’t need to spend that much money.
“No, your mother and I have discussed it, we’re still taking the three-bedroom house.” Taking advantage of everyone being around, Zhang Dagu announced their arrangement.
What?
They actually want a three-bedroom?
Including Zhang Guohua, they all froze, looking at him in confusion, not understanding why the elderly couple wanted such a large house.
“You may work out of town, but we still need to leave a room for you,” Zhang Dagu bluntly pushed the reason for wanting a three-bedroom onto Zhang Yu.
My goodness, she had been hoping the Zhang family would stop fixating on her, yet here was Zhang Dagu constantly trying to drag her into the pit.
“Mom and Dad, there’s no need.
Your house won’t be ready until next year or the year after, and by then, I might buy a small studio.”
“If it really comes to it, I can stay in a hotel.”
“Plus, over the years, my brother and his family have traveled to a lot of places, and for various reasons, I never went out.”
“Now that you have someone to take care of you two elders, I want to wander around and see the scenery of our country.”
Zhang Yu knew Zhang Guohua and his family had been traveling around and the original host had always been quite envious, so she still wanted to fulfill the unspoken wishes of her previous self.
What?
Zhang Yu actually plans to travel?
These words greatly dissatisfied Zhang Yi.
In his opinion, he was the only grandson of the Zhang family; Zhang Yu’s money and house should rightfully be left for him.
As for Zhang Yu planning to travel, Zhang Yi felt she was spending his money, but he couldn’t outright say so.
Zhang Xin, hearing about Zhang Yu’s high income, also started to ponder.
If she could get financial support from Zhang Yu, wouldn’t her future study abroad be more financially comfortable?
With more money for studying abroad, wouldn’t she be able to live more comfortably, to buy things without worrying about the cost?
She didn’t want Zhang Yu to go out and have fun; she felt Zhang Yu should just stay home.
Why not return home during rest days to take care of the grandparents, cook, and do things as before?
Watching each dissenting expression, Zhang Yu knew they must be thinking she was squandering the family’s future money.
“Mom and Dad, I just feel I won’t be able to take care of you much, so you really shouldn’t consider me when it comes to the house,” said Zhang Yu sincerely.
“These days, I’ve been reflecting a lot and feel that compared to my elder brother, my life has really been a waste.”
“Whenever there was a company trip, I didn’t go because I was worried about you.”
“Not to mention traveling at my own expense.
The few times I went out of town were all for work-related reasons.”
“Really, I felt I never had time for myself.
This time I’ve been away for a month, and it has been truly relaxing.”
“Daily, I only needed to cook for one person, and on weekends, I could go out and not worry about feeding a whole family.”
“I think this kind of life suits me.”
Zhang Dagu hadn’t expected Zhang Yu to have thought so much during her time away, even to the point of contemplating not being involved with them, “What about us?”
“You don’t want to take care of your mom and me anymore?” Zhang Dagu asked anxiously.
“Don’t you have my brother and sister-in-law?”
“It used to be my responsibility to cook; now they can take care of you.
My sister-in-law is retiring soon.”
“Or you can hire a maid.
If it comes to it, the four of us siblings should chip in.
I’ll definitely contribute my part.”
“As for hospital stays, I can’t come back to take care of you.
If my brother and sister-in-law can’t manage, remember when you were sick and hospitalized, I would work during the day and go to the hospital at night.
I managed then.”
Zhang Yu lightly spoke of what the original host had done, “If my elder brother can’t handle it, then hire a nurse.”
“As for the money, if you need us to contribute, I’ll give my share.” Zhang Yu was straightforward.
Zhang Hong, hearing bits about children paying and the four splitting costs, grew frustrated, “Honestly, Little Yu, it’s different for you since you live alone.”
“We have heavier burdens.”
Indeed, if her income was high, why couldn’t she just cover everything?
“No helping it, your salaries aren’t any less than mine,”
“You just have kids to raise; I don’t.”
“But I need to save for my own coffin funds.
After all, I don’t have descendants and don’t expect anyone to take care of me.”
“I need money for nurses when I’m old, for hospital stays, and for hiring caregivers.
Simply put, if I don’t work hard to earn and save money, I won’t make it.”
Zhang Yu indirectly told Zhang Yi and the others, sorry, but don’t count on her money.
Her money was meant for her own old age.
Zhang Yi and the others picked up on Zhang Yu’s implication and were displeased, feeling she was just too stingy.
Hmph, they truly didn’t believe her words; how could anyone not rely on their nephews and nieces?
