Chapter 2186: Chapter 2187: Cousin Is a Capitalist Lady 6
Xu Ling heard Zhang Yu calling Zhang Hui a little brat and couldn’t help frowning, feeling very displeased.
"I may sound harsh, but those people will be even harsher," Zhang Yu said flatly.
"Of course I can directly sever ties with you all, after all, it’s something you did and I didn’t know."
"I am just a child."
"Of course, I don’t want it to be like this. No matter how, I can ignore you, but I can’t ignore myself."
"I’m definitely going to the countryside, but I’m also being dragged into this. Give me five hundred." She must have money openly. Once she’s over there, she won’t stay in a large dormitory, which is too stifling; instead, she’ll use the money to stay in a single room, thus improving the food situation as well.
Xu Ling felt relieved hearing Zhang Yu promise not to say anything. She knew this child was easy to handle. Just as she was about to say a few words to coax her, unexpectedly, the rotten girl made an exorbitant demand.
"Why don’t you go rob someone, you bandit?" Xu Ling couldn’t hold back.
"Little brat," Zhang Yu said calmly, "a reactionary protecting capitalist brats, go plant trees in the Great Northwest."
Xu Ling originally wanted to shout angry words but swallowed them all; she really couldn’t say them.
"I need to discuss this." This amount of money was really too much; she couldn’t decide, and such a big sum of money couldn’t be solely from her household, right?
"Alright, and you must send me 15 yuan every month, and it can’t be less."
"It’s cold over there in the Northeast, even though there’s a kang, but I need to go outside."
"I want everything that you prepared for the little brat; otherwise, I don’t know if I’ll go all out and perish together." Zhang Yu knew these demands were at the limits of what they could tolerate.
Xu Ling took a deep breath, holding back for so long; otherwise, she was really worried she’d lose control and resort to dealing with the rotten girl; she simply couldn’t endure it.
"I’ll discuss it." Xu Ling clenched her fists, ready to turn and leave.
"Oh, before I leave, I won’t do housework. You decide who does it."
"Remember to tell them, I’m very dissatisfied with you now."
"Alright, I need to rest, shut the door."
"Remember to prepare things, only a few days left before going to the Northeast," Zhang Yu reminded.
Ahhhh, Xu Ling remembered this daunting task, taking a deep breath, "This, this..."
"Quilt and coat, timing is tight."
"No problem, I can wait until August. If by the last day of August, I haven’t received the items, or they’re not up to standard, like filled with old cotton or something, I’ll still send a letter back."
Zhang Yu listed a few places directly, "I think you’re familiar with these places, Mom."
"Also, don’t think about finding someone to intercept me; I also know when Gao Jianbo left, he arranged for someone to take care of you."
She casually mentioned the leader who was looking after them, "Before, I found it strange why he took good care of you and liked Zhang Hui."
"Last night, I thought about it all night; it should be his backup plan."
"You, you... Xu Ling looked at Zhang Yu with horror, this daughter she had never looked at directly, actually, before going to the Northeast, delivered such a heavy blow."
"Mom, don’t keep saying you, you, you; you should think about what to do. Don’t say I have no evidence; for those people at GWH, some things really don’t require evidence."
Zhang Yu yawned, "Alright, I’m going to rest."
Xu Ling looked at Zhang Yu, who had already lain down to rest again, really wishing she could deal with her straight away, but she didn’t dare.
"By the way, these days, only I sleep in my room; I’m worried you might do away with me at night, after all, killing a child, I think you’ve done before."
When Xu Ling came out of Zhang Yu’s room in a daze, Zhang Fu angrily said, "What’s going on? Xiao Juan said the rotten girl made her do chores."
"Why can’t she do chores? That rotten girl doesn’t even think about how her sister helped with housework when she was five, and by ten, she did all the chores alone. That rotten girl should do them too."
Zhang Juan was thrilled to hear Zhang Fu speak, but she didn’t expect Xu Ling, who always obeyed her father, to become more forceful, and the rotten girl even turned into her name, which she couldn’t accept.
Zhang Fu didn’t expect Xu Ling, after spending time in Zhang Yu’s room and coming out, to become so strange; he really didn’t know what happened.
Zhang Gui and his wife glanced at Xu Ling and continued eating; as long as someone did the housework, it was fine.
Xu Ling whispered in Zhang Fu’s ear, "The rotten girl heard what we said last night."
Although Xu Ling’s voice wasn’t loud, it really scared Zhang Fu, making him jump, "She, how could she hear?"
"Obviously, they were all asleep." Otherwise, he wouldn’t have discussed it, and now it’s over, really ended; how could it turn out like this?
After Zhang Gui and his wife found out, their first reaction was, "This child cannot be kept."
"She also said she knows we’re planning to silence her; unless we deal with her in one shot, otherwise she’ll speak out." Xu Ling whispered, "She said from today, she’ll sleep alone, then lock doors and windows."
"If we act, at most she’ll die, but we..."
"Moreover, she already knows the leader exists," Xu Ling retold the events in a whisper.
The other three couldn’t help but let out a long breath, "This, this..."
Zhang Fu hadn’t expected this girl to have heard so little and deduced so much, "What to do?"
Zhang Gui’s face was terribly unpleasant, "What else can we do? Apart from meeting her demands, what else?"
"But about the money..." Xu Ling knew everyone would ultimately choose only this, but how to allocate the money?
"Split it evenly," Zhang Gui said helplessly.
His family pays half; Xue Lei certainly was unhappy, "Brother and Sister-in-law, if it weren’t for you, how could things be like this?"
Honestly, they didn’t know the weight of such a big issue; now they ended up needing her family to pay. It wasn’t just about being taken for fools; they’d need to send 15 every month afterward, in addition to money for Zhang Hui, "And money for Xiao Hui."
"Xiao Hui also gets 15." Zhang Gui knew this money could only be squeezed from Zhang Hui’s side, "If the two amounts differ, and she causes a fuss, what can we do?"
"If we give it, it can only be mailed in packages." Zhang Gui didn’t want to pay half either; clearly, it was Zhang Fu and his wife’s blunder. But there was no choice; Zhang Hui was listed under their name, so if something happened, they would be most culpable.
Xue Lei knew this, so despite being unwilling, she ultimately agreed.
"Money’s okay, but the coats and quilts...
"She also said, just follow Xiao Hui’s example." Xu Ling’s head was really aching, "Back then, preparing things for Xiao Hui took quite a while; they gave us some, but we also went to the black market."
It can be said that to gather items for Zhang Hui, they spent a lot and owed favors. They hadn’t even rested for a day or two before Zhang Yu appeared.
"She said she can receive them by the end of August." Xu Ling quickly expressed time could be more lenient.
