Zhang Shouhua and his wife also heard that Zhang Guohua had something to talk to Zhang Yu about, assuming it was to discuss matters regarding Chiang Yun and her son.
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be about that welfare apartment of Zhang Yu’s, and instantly, both Zhang Shouhua’s and Zhang Hong’s couples scrutinized him with displeasure.
In their hearts, they cursed him, feeling that Zhang Guohua was nothing but a despicable person, an especially vile villain. freeweɓnovel.cøm
He had clearly said they would all join hands, that they would split the apartment together, yet Zhang Guohua dared to come up with this idea.
Zhang Dagu knew that Zhang Guohua and the others were scheming, but he hadn’t imagined that someone could be so foolish.
“Big brother, what are you thinking.” What can we do, at least we need to keep things fair.
Zhang Guohua truly hadn’t expected Zhang Yu to actually dare to complain, and after mumbling for a while, he said, “It’s not that there are no apartments.”
“If Xiao Yi gets married, and there’s no apartment, which girl would look at him.” Blaming everything on Zhang Yi, surely there’s no mistake in that.
Right, the more Zhang Dagu thought about it, if they really took the money, Zhang Yi would be left without a marriage home.
Looking up at Zhang Yu, the latter instantly understood; they were playing the pity card, and it had actually succeeded.
“Whoever’s son it is, they should take responsibility.”
“Dad, if you’re worried about Zhang Yi not having a marital home, then you take the apartment.
For the sake of your precious eldest grandson, you can live ‘standing tall between heaven and earth.’
“After all, I won’t be the one who gets shortchanged.
You can’t expect me, the one who’s forfeiting the money and the apartment, to take such a loss.”
To live ‘standing tall between heaven and earth,’ Zhang Dagu shook his head, “I’m old now, forget it.”
Just as expected, Zhang Dagu was such a selfish person, and Zhang Yu didn’t find it surprising at all, “See, dad, you’re not willing to, and he’s your beloved eldest grandson.”
“So, you also can’t expect me to shell out the money.”
“Or keep it simple, Zhang Guohua lives in a three-bedroom apartment, can’t afford a big one, could go for a one-bedroom.”
“The big apartment could be for Zhang Yi’s marital home, and they could live in a one-bedroom apartment.”
“I think that should tide things over.” Zhang Yu offered another suggestion.
To live in a single room?
Busy in the kitchen, Chiang Yun, knowing that Zhang Guohua had sought out Zhang Yu for a chat, was dumbfounded by such a stupid move, truly at a loss for words to describe her feelings.
She remembered when Zhang Yu mentioned having ‘pig teammates,’ and now she was faced with the horror of terrible pig teammates.
At that moment, she really didn’t dare to meet the gazes of those around her, when it had been clearly discussed before that everyone would work together to soften Zhang Yu’s stance on the apartment issue.
No sooner had they spoken, they went back on their word.
If it were her, she would be furious.
When Du Xia and Zhang Hong heard Chiang Yun’s ‘tattling,’ they were also livid.
Although they had been a bit tempted, it was still a welfare apartment provided by Zhang Yu’s employer, and she had managed the payment herself.
Even though they were tempted, they couldn’t speak up, as their words would be useless anyway.
But the problem was, some people were relentless, determined to stir things up, and that person was Zhang Guohua, who took the initiative to come to them and discuss how to make Zhang Yu hand over the apartment.
Originally, he had promised something nice, that everyone would contribute and share the benefits.
But this guy turned around and went to Zhang Yu alone, trying to get the apartment for himself.
Du Xia was fuming with anger, looking at the dumbfounded Chiang Yun, she scoffed several times, now not believing that Chiang Yun could be unaware of this.
Everyone knows that Zhang Guohua listens well to Chiang Yun, doing exactly as she says, without cutting corners.
Anyway, no matter what Zhang Guohua says in the future, however flowery or generous the benefits, they would never trust his words again, all lies.
Du Xia endured for a while without complaining, but Zhang Hong was not one to hold back, “Such hypocrisy.”
“On one hand, they say we need to unite, but then they go off and act alone,” Zhang Hong muttered dissatisfiedly.
As for Pan Juan, who was also in the kitchen and heard this, what she would think was not the focus.
She knew that the old lady wouldn’t tell Zhang Yu even if she knew.
Hearing what Zhang Hong said, Chiang Yun naturally felt indignant, “What are you talking about?
I had no idea this was happening.”
If she had known Zhang Guohua would pull such a move, she would have definitely advised against it.
Even if she was the calculating type, she wouldn’t have taken such actions.
This wasn’t just serving up leverage to Zhang Yu on a silver platter.
The more Chiang Yun thought about it, the angrier she got.
No wonder she had been a nobody at her job even after so many years.
Zhang Hong wasn’t surprised by Chiang Yun’s denial.
It would be surprising if she actually admitted it.
“Of course, you won’t admit it.
All the good deeds are your doing.”
“Your denial is useless, everyone knows Zhang Guohua has no backbone,” said Zhang Hong.
“He listens to whatever his wife says and definitely carries out her orders.”
Zhang Hong rolled her eyes without any attempt to hide her disdain, “Don’t worry, I’m not competing with you, no need to be so anxious.”
Du Xia smiled, “I know that because of the money mom and dad gave, Xiao Yi’s marriage house is an issue.”
“But that doesn’t mean you should scheme against people.” Although she was also unhappy, Du Xia knew Zhang Guohua wouldn’t get away with it.
What needed to be done was to distance herself from Chiang Yun and not get dragged down with them.
If their scheming over the house succeeded and they got money to divide, having a fallout with Zhang Yu would just be that—unpleasant, but at least the money would be in hand.
But the money wasn’t in hand yet, so how could they afford such a commotion?
Upon hearing Du Xia’s words, Chiang Yun understood her intention, which was not to bother about their well-being, “You…”
“What about me?” Du Xia looked down on Chiang Yun with contempt, “Since you all went ahead and acted on your own, you should face the consequences.”
“We can’t be held responsible for cleaning up your mess.”
“If you succeed, the benefits are all yours.”
“Since you made your move without consulting us, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”
She really didn’t want to deal with such people any longer, truly hypocritical to the core and utterly unprincipled.
Zhang Hong also scornfully snorted a few times, feeling nothing but relief in her heart.
If they had all set out to manipulate Zhang Yu, and if their scheme failed only to face criticism and cursing from Zhang Yu, along with the subsequent gossiping with the old neighbors…
Zhang Hong shuddered at the thought.
If Zhang Yu really handled it that way, what would become of their reputation?
Zhang Hong truly didn’t dare think how bad it would get—it would be as ugly as it could be, and they’d be trampled upon in every possible way.
Especially if such words got back to her workplace and her colleagues learned about it, she couldn’t imagine the kind of looks they would give her.
Even if her chances of promotion were slim, did she not care about her image at all?
Moreover, she didn’t even want to think about how Liu Hui would treat her then.
“It’s always the eldest, the one who should be looking out for his younger siblings.
In our family, the eldest…”
“All he does is scheme and manipulate,” Zhang Hong couldn’t help but remember how her marriage had been affected.
The dowry that Zhang Dagu and the others promised her was tampered with by someone.
