Chapter 99: Chapter 99 No House Female Match 99_1
Zhang Yu was even angrier because she didn’t think she had treated Zhang Dagu and his wife with the same heart and soul as the original owner had, but surely she was better than Zhang Guohua and the others, right?
To her surprise, when it really mattered, she could see who they preferred; they still chose Zhang Guohua’s family, chose Zhang Yi, that loser.
Zhang Yu glanced around, "I didn’t take the family home at the beginning, and my parents didn’t give me their savings either."
"Even when we went abroad later, I have records; I spent more than they did."
"I never let them spend money on me." Zhang Yu pulled out numerous travel bills and details from the cloud drive.
"When we signed for the demolition back then, the three of you, Zhang Guohua, promised that if you took the house, you would take good care of our parents." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Now it’s your turn to show it."
"How to handle the parents’ house and which child to give it to is their business, but don’t expect me to take care of them."
"Don’t expect to bind me with excuses like my house is big and I live alone, so I should take care of them."
"If you’re not convinced, you can sue in court."
"Whatever the court decides, I’ll follow it. I won’t oppose it," said Zhang Yu, standing up.
"For matters like this in the future, there’s really no need to notify me."
"It’s a waste of time."
"Mom and Dad, about the traveling, you can discuss it with Zhang Guohua and his family." Zhang Yu felt that some people should not be expected to change their nature.
When Zhang Dagu and his wife were being incited by Chiang Yun, they did consider whether this would upset Zhang Yu.
But they thought Zhang Yu was quite nice to them, and since she lived alone in such a big house, she probably wouldn’t mind having more people at home.
What they didn’t expect was that Zhang Yu’s reaction was bigger than they thought, giving them the impression that she wouldn’t care about them in the future.
"Little Yu, we, we agreed to go out and have fun," Zhang Dagu, wanting to save face, was too embarrassed to say it himself, so Pan Juan stood up.
"So, things we agreed on can’t be changed?" Zhang Yu couldn’t help but laugh, "You can ask Zhang Guohua and his family to accompany you."
"Mom, I don’t covet your money or house, but don’t try to calculate against me."
"If you’re going to do that, then let’s settle the score properly." Zhang Yu got up, ready to leave.
"This time Zhang Yi’s wife said she won’t divorce if she gets a bigger house; this time you satisfy her."
"What if, after a while, she makes a fuss again, demanding to change to a luxury car, to switch to a larger flat? What then?"
"Will you force me then to give up the house under my name?"
"Later, will I have to find her an easy job with good pay?"
Isn’t this how people gradually become greedy? Zhang Yu could guarantee that once this precedent was set, Zhang Yi’s wife would have free rein over her in the future.
"Whether Zhang Yi has a wife or not, it has nothing to do with me."
"The child is so big now, ready to go to primary school, and yet he’s still obsessed with gaming."
"If this continues, he..." Zhang Yu felt that this lifetime’s Zhang Yi was even more of a loser.
Had Zhang Guohua and his wife set higher standards for Zhang Yi, it wouldn’t have come to this.
Forget it, their son, for better or worse, is for them to deal with. It has nothing to do with her at all.
Pan Juan, seeing Zhang Yu leave just like that, immediately panicked and tried to call her back, but Zhang Dagu stopped her.
"It will be alright after a few days. Didn’t she say before that she wouldn’t bother with us, and yet she continued to do so?" Zhang Dagu was certain that Zhang Yu wouldn’t abandon them.
Zhang Yu knew well that Zhang Dagu and his wife were certain she would soften her heart. She smiled, and soon they would find out whether she was soft-hearted or not.
In the following days, Zhang Yu went to work as usual and when on vacation, she would drive alone to various places. If Wang Yun was also off, the mother and daughter would head overseas and enjoy a trip together.
It could be said that Zhang Yu, without taking Zhang Dagu and his wife along, truly unlocked many fun modes of travel.
Activities they had refrained from due to concerns about the old couple’s age and stamina were now fully indulged in by Zhang Yu and Wang Yun.
The regret felt by Zhang Dagu and his wife, who stayed at home, was as profound as it could be. Now, they no longer held control over the finances and were unable to make many decisions.
Not to mention traveling, even buying some favorite food or drink was impossible for them.
Zhang Yu did not fail to visit once or twice; if she wasn’t away on business, she would visit weekly.
She would bring some fruit, sit for a short while, and then take off. Zhang Dagu and his wife did suggest, hoping that Zhang Yu could help change their current living situation.
Each time they brought it up, she quickly changed the topic. To her, some people really weren’t worthy of sympathy.
Did they not know about Zhang Guohua eyeing her properties? They were aware, but in their view, raising Wang Yun and sending her abroad to study was the best outcome.
As for the properties and investments under her name, they believed they should belong to Zhang Family’s grandchildren.
Zhang Dagu and his wife had pinned their last hopes on Zhang Yu, thinking they could awaken her pity by appearing pitiful themselves.
What they didn’t expect was Zhang Yu’s response, signaling her inability to help.
"And now you have it so good. Before it was just you and the housekeeper, and you always spoke about feeling lonely," she said.
"Now it’s better. Zhang Guohua and his family come home to eat every day. The house must be bustling," she added.
Zhang Yu painted everything in a positive light, resolutely avoiding helping out Zhang Dagu and his wife.
Zhang Dagu and his wife realized all hope was lost, their spirits plunging to rock bottom.
Being of advanced age, even the slightest disturbance could pose a serious issue.
Before long, both of their health began to decline, which seriously alarmed Zhang Guohua and his family. While they secretly wished for the old couple’s early demise to hasten the division of the property,
they also considered themselves to be respectable people and absolutely couldn’t commit such a disgraceful act. So, they turned to Zhang Yu to discuss the parents’ medical care.
Zhang Yu looked at each of them with faces full of concern for the elderly couple, yet knowing they were probably rejoicing on the inside countless times.
These were the children and grandchildren that Zhang Dagu and his wife had wished to support and help till the end. Zhang Yu wondered how they would feel if they knew the truth.
But then again, she thought it best to let them remain ignorant of such matters, or perhaps they were already aware and were just concerned about saving face.
Or perhaps they didn’t want to let her see them as a laughingstock and had no choice but to act as if everything was normal.
Zhang Yu knew their true feelings, and she had no intention of interfering. "They still need to get medical care, so start with our parents’ savings," she stated.
"Social insurance will cover a large portion, and if their savings run out, isn’t there still the house?" she pointed out.
Hmph, calling her to discuss the so-called treatment plan for Zhang Dagu and his wife’s condition was just an attempt to get her to pay.
Though she earned a decent income, she was really not obliged to pay this bill.
There was no reason she should pay while Zhang Dagu and his wife had savings and property.
"Raising us wasn’t easy for our parents; we still need to provide medical care for them," she declared.
In short, refusing to care for them was not an option; providing medical care was mandatory.
Zhang Yu insisted on providing medical care for the elderly couple, leaving Zhang Guohua and the others with no choice but to reluctantly agree; otherwise, they would appear unreasonable in the future.
