Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1778 - 1779: Wealthy Family Eldest Branch’s Granddaughter 42
After Fu Yun hung up the phone, she chuckled for a while and was just about to pick up the materials to continue reviewing them when she suddenly recalled something Zhang Yu had said before.
Marriage isn’t free; she married the one chosen by the family. After going through the difficult divorce, now she’s calculating the remarriage matters all over again. In the family, besides her, there’s no one else who is currently divorced.
Was Zhang Yu hinting at something to her by saying that?
Thinking about it, Fu Yun couldn’t focus on the materials anymore. After all, if this matter is not handled well, her future life path will change.
Regarding remarriage, she no longer has the thought, knowing that if she truly wanted to remarry, it would have to be someone either approved by the grandfather or the parents.
As for her parents, they would prefer her not to remarry but to stay working in the family business. Zhang Hai has long had eyes on her position and ideas brewing.
But due to her good performance and the fact that she’s not remarried, even if he has ideas, he can’t put them into action.
However, if she were to remarry, and it’s to someone her parents approve, Fu Yun knows that the good uncle will definitely act.
Her parents have no such intention, and as for her second uncle, he wouldn’t do such stupid things. It’s likely either the grandfather or the little uncle’s idea.
The most probable culprit is the little uncle, and the prospect is likely not great; otherwise, Zhang Yu wouldn’t say it’s scheming to remarry.
Thinking of this, Fu Yun gasped; if it weren’t for feeling that Zhang Yu, that girl, was having a tough time and wanting to support her a bit earlier, the girl would not have told her.
When it really comes to that point, she would be the only one struggling, as for her parents, as long as their interests are satisfied, they don’t truly care about their daughter’s happiness.
"A clever girl." Fu Yun thought of how her parents and others regarded Zhang Yu, even her uncles thought she was foolish.
Being the child of the big uncle’s family, how could she be stupid? But given the situation back then, an orphan being too smart would likely not end well for her.
Praise or kill is a common event, this kind of thing is something heard too much about, lightly sighing, "Really not as good as a little girl."
However, she also knows, no matter how much she wants to harden her heart, every time she thinks of her parents, she really just can’t bring herself to be ruthless.
Unlike Zhang Yu, whose uncles are already gone, even the grandfather showed only false kindness. Wanting to disentangle herself and leave is an easy choice for her.
After Zhang Yu hung up the phone, she continued reading the book; the message needed to be delivered had been delivered, now it was just a matter of whether Fu Yun could understand it.
After brushing through two test papers, Zhang Yu realized no one had called her down for dinner. What’s going on? Could it be about letting the grandfather save face and not call her for dinner?
Forget it, doesn’t matter, Zhang Yu went downstairs and found the place was empty.
"Still haven’t started dinner?" Zhang Yu went to the kitchen.
A maid responded with an "um," "The steward said to wait."
Alright, if the steward said to wait, then it seems that the matter in the study hasn’t been decided yet.
Touching her constantly protesting stomach, Zhang Yu didn’t care much, "I’m hungry, is there anything?"
The cook thought for a moment, "We have wontons."
Zhang Yu considered, "Fine." She estimated that the Zhang family members should be eating here; she definitely had to accompany them, if she ate too much now and couldn’t eat later, it would be seen as disrespectful to elders.
"Make me ten small wontons." Not bothering to go upstairs, Zhang Yu started chatting with the cook downstairs, discussing cooking.
The cook was very surprised; in the Zhang family’s three generations with so many people, no one had ever thought about cooking. Even those few who studied abroad never considered cooking, since they had plenty of money and could just dine out.
"I plan to study at Harbor City University for college, even if the living expenses are high, cooking myself is the most economical." Zhang Yu certainly can cook; after so many tasks, if her cooking skills hadn’t improved, she might as well just crash into a block of tofu.
It’s just the original Zhang Yu wouldn’t cook, so she must master it comprehensively.
The cook wasn’t surprised at Zhang Yu going abroad, "Miss Yu, you can eat outside."
Zhang Yu waved her hand, "Save where you can."
She muttered under her breath, "I’m different from my siblings; they have parental support."
Seeing this serious facade she puts up about saving, the cook really wanted to say that his monthly salary wasn’t even as much as her rental income.
As a cook, he knows some things aren’t appropriate for him to say, so he quietly continued cooking.
Knowing the cook might say she was showing off, Zhang Yu said, "After graduating from Hong Kong University, I plan to study abroad in Europe and America. The Chinese food there isn’t very authentic, and it isn’t cheap either."
"It’s better to take advantage of my time at Hong Kong University to improve my cooking skills, so I won’t panic when studying abroad."
Although the cook hasn’t been abroad, he’s heard from people like Fu Yun that it’s not easy to find good Chinese food abroad.
The cook laughed, "Miss Yu plans to start learning right after the college entrance exam?"
Zhang Yu nodded, "Yes, start with simple cooking with you then gradually level up."
The cook was just about to speak when noises came from outside, so he immediately stopped.
Upon hearing the noise, Zhang Yu knew it was Zhang Yutong’s parents, along with her brother and sister-in-law pleading.
Wow, if the grandfather isn’t going to help repay the gambling debts, truly not surprising.
At this moment, Zhang Jiang excitedly came in carrying a big fish, "Dad, I went fishing by the lake today and caught..."
Zhang Jiang was stunned, he hadn’t expected guests at home, and even more, they were the Zhang family, and what surprised him the most was, how embarrassingly desperate the Zhang family seemed.
"What’s going on, old three, what’s wrong with your father-in-law and mother-in-law, why are they kneeling?" Zhang Jiang was gloating, after waiting so long.
Zhang Hai was stunned; earlier in the study, the grandfather had made things extremely difficult for the Zhang family, wanting them to calm down a bit. After all, causing a fuss wouldn’t change the grandfather’s intention.
Since it was gambling debt, it wasn’t the first time for that Zhang family lad, he had gambled multiple times before, and the family had already repaid several gambling debts.
Originally angry at why the Zhang family didn’t sell their house, he knew then the Zhang family actually had taken a loan against their house again to raise money to repay gambling debts.
This recent and previous time, it wasn’t possible anymore; the lad made such a big mess, leading them to seek out Zhang Yutong.
What could Zhang Hai do? Even though he was angry, he couldn’t force the family to repay. Continuing to hand out money wasn’t something he was willing to do.
He just wanted to coax the Zhang family to leave, then have Zhang Yutong go back and discuss it with her parents; if they insisted on making a scene, then divorce it is.
He knew the Zhang family absolutely wouldn’t agree to a divorce; otherwise, the family would have no chance to redeem themselves. But who would have thought Zhang Jiang showed up, what now?
