Chapter 2181 Cousin is a capitalist lady 7
Xue Lei rolled her eyes at Xu Ling, "Is this about money? Cotton coupons are really hard to come by."

"We went through so much trouble to get Xiaohui's things." They thought they could finally relax, but who would have thought that the same task awaited them? How were they going to complete it?

"We don't have to prepare. What will the outcome be then?" Xu Ling shrugged.

Xue Lei sighed helplessly. She knew that getting angry at Xu Ling was useless. "How about we tell her that it's not easy to get the goods to the Northeast? How about we pay her? So she can go and buy them directly after she gets to the Northeast."

Yes, giving money is the most convenient way. Zhang Fu and the others were immediately impressed and thought it was the best way.

Xu Ling looked at Zhang Yu cautiously, waiting for her answer.

Zhang Yu sneered, truly treating her like a fool. "Is that so? Fine then. As for the money, you can give it to those capitalist bastards. How much you give them is your business."

“Anyway, she can’t carry it, so I can take it.” Zhang Yu’s face suddenly fell. “You know it’s hard to prepare these things, so why don’t you hurry up and borrow them? Go to the black market and get them, or use the jewelry your parents left you to exchange for them.”

"Even if things don't go well, there's still a leader. Just ask him directly. He's always trying to fool me. Be careful, I have a bad temper and we might just break up. Anyway, I'm not having a good life. Besides, I've done a good deed by exposing him, so who knows, I might get a job."

Xu Ling returned empty-handed once again. In addition, many people were going to the Northeast to become educated youth at this time. Not to mention cotton coupons, the four of them were so angry that they almost vomited blood. There was no other way. Zhang Hui could not treat them unfairly, and Zhang Yu was a strong-willed girl. Just then, Zhang Juan bumped into them.

Zhang Juan stood smugly to the side, waiting for her parents to scold Zhang Yu. But to her surprise, the result was different from what she expected. Not only did her parents not scold Zhang Yu, but they also scolded her harshly.

What angered Zhang Juan even more was that her parents scolded her in front of everyone, including Zhang Yu. This made her so angry that she really wanted to argue with Zhang Yu, but she didn't dare, fearing that the punishment would be more severe.

Zhang Hui also found it strange. In the past, she would definitely have taught Zhang Yu a lesson, but now Zhang Yu was fine, which really puzzled her. However, it was none of her business, so she didn't think much about it.

Xue Lei was the kindest to Zhang Hui in the whole family, after all, her mother was Zhang Hui's biological mother's wet nurse, and she also grew up with the young lady.

"Xiao Hui, once you get to the Northeast, don't rely too much on your sister, and don't tell her about the things we gave you." Some things couldn't be said too explicitly, so Xue Lei could only express them in a rather subtle way.

Zhang Hui also noticed that Zhang Yu had been acting strangely lately. "Why is my older sister like this?"

"Don't worry, it's okay. She's just unhappy. Once you get there, don't try to be strong. The family doesn't need your help. Just do whatever makes you comfortable."

"Don't let your sister do everything." Xue Lei was worried that Zhang Hui's habit of making Zhang Yu do chores would provoke the girl again, and she didn't know how the girl would go crazy.

Zhang Hui said "oh" and then suddenly realized, "Mom, if you don't let my sister do chores, I won't be able to do them either."

Good heavens! Zhang Hui had been secretly pleased these past two days, as she was the only one in the Zhang family who didn't have to do any housework. But today she heard such terrible news. What should she do? She doesn't know how to do housework at all.

Xue Lei was suddenly struck by a realization: yes, Zhang Hui was completely incapable of doing housework. Deep down, they still thought that as a young lady of the Ge family, how could she possibly do housework?

Now things are really messed up. Even if we start teaching Zhang Hui to do housework now, it's too late. What can we do? We can't just tell our daughter that once we get to Northeast China, we can have someone else do the housework for her.

After thinking for a moment, Xue Lei said cautiously, "Never mind, I'll go ask again." She glanced at Zhang Yu, who was reading a book, and pouted. Her grades were bad. If it weren't for the fact that she was supposed to take care of Xiao Hui, she wouldn't have been allowed to finish high school.

“Xiaoyu, you’re about to go to the Northeast, and Xiaohui doesn’t know how to do housework…” Xue Lei couldn’t directly say that you should help Zhang Hui with the housework, because she was worried that Zhang Yu would retort.

"I know, don't worry. I'll do the normal housework. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to send me money every month. Housework also requires money, just like you did back in the Ge family." Zhang Yu believed that they had definitely discussed it, otherwise why would Xue Lei be so nice to her?

Hearing this, Xue Lei breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she could help with the housework, and her anger towards Zhang Yu for demanding 15 yuan a month subsided considerably.

"Of course, what you said before about me helping with farm work is impossible. Although I am capable, I have never been to the countryside and have never done farm work before, such as buying groceries, cooking, or washing clothes."

When the original owner arrived in the countryside, she quickly became skilled at farm work in order to survive. However, she didn't want to work so hard. The more she did and the better she became, the more the Zhang family would take advantage of her.

"Also, tell that young lady to wash her own underwear. That's not hard to learn, is it?"

"And besides summer clothes, don't change other clothes all the time. Since you're no longer a young lady, don't live like one. If she needs to change clothes all the time, that's fine, but that'll cost extra."

“20 yuan per month from May to September, and 30 yuan for the rest of the time.” Zhang Yu quoted directly, “After all, the winters in Northeast China are cold, and the water is bone-chilling. I need to boil water to wash, right?”

Given this person's personality, even in the dead of winter in Northeast China, she would frequently change her clothes. The original owner's hands were worn out and looked like those of an elderly person. "After all, I'm only two years older than the young lady, but looking at our hands, we feel like we're mother and daughter."

Zhang Yu stretched out her hand, "Auntie, look at my hands, they're even older than yours. I want to buy clam oil, and I want to take care of my hands too."

"Of course, if you think it's too expensive and want Xiaohui to have someone else wash it, that's fine too, it's at least 15 anyway."

"Actually, I don't want to help with laundry. I only get 15 yuan a month for cooking, which isn't good enough." She hadn't thought about this before. With her spoiled personality, even after arriving in Northeast China, she still changed clothes frequently. The small amount of money she received each month was really not enough.

As Xue Lei listened to Zhang Yu referring to her as a "young lady" over and over again, she felt a throbbing headache coming on. She wasn't stupid; of course, she knew why Zhang Yu was saying that.

"I'll go and discuss it."

Zhang Fu and the other three continued their meeting. When they heard Zhang Yu raise the stakes again, they were all furious. They were really angry.

"It's just washing a couple of pieces of clothing, why do I have to pay extra?" Zhang Fu really didn't understand. It was just washing clothes, why did he have to pay extra?

“Exactly, I think she’s really obsessed with money.” Zhang Gui also sided with his brother, feeling that Zhang Yu had gone too far, thinking nothing but money.

Although Xu Ling doesn't do laundry, she knows Zhang Hui's personality. Xue Lei treats this child even better than her own son, raising her like a princess. "In winter, Xiao Hui has to wash her sweaters every two days. Otherwise, why would she need so many clothes in winter?"

"When you get to Northeast China, you might ask someone to wash your clothes for you once or twice, but who's going to wash them for you if it happens too often?"

"Why not ask Xiaoyu if you're going to pay someone to do your laundry anyway? At least she's only after money." Xu Ling wasn't happy about having to spend extra money, but it was better than letting people know Zhang Hui's identity.
