Fast travel to the front line of eating melons in the world

"Why did they send me money? It's simple. I've been doing housework since I was five years old. I'm the one who buys food, cooks, and does laundry. I'm always the last one to eat. This is a reward from my family."

"Also, I'll have to take care of Zhang Hui once we get there." Zhang Yu pointed out the money directly; she wasn't taking it for free, she was putting in the work.

She was certain that Zhang Fu and the others would eventually reveal the matter of sending money, and of course, they would only say that she was greedy and insisted on making a fuss about sending them money.

“I don’t need to take care of Zhang Hui, and I don’t need money either,” Zhang Yu said coldly.

Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Bin and said, "Zhang Bin, you always talk about how good Zhang Hui is. Look, Zhang Hui has become an educated youth. Why don't you go too?"

"Once you get there, you can wash her clothes and bedding, and cook for her."

“And since you’re a boy, you’re strong, so you can help with the work.” Zhang Yu knew that Zhang Bin had a good relationship with Zhang Hui, but it was absolutely impossible for him to become an educated youth.

Zhang Bin, who was still criticizing Zhang Yu, immediately shut up. He said that he was close to Zhang Hui, but that was because his parents preferred Zhang Hui. Of course, he had to cater to their preferences, but he was asked to go to the Northeast to farm.

Zhang Bin didn't even consider it, saying, "I still need to study." Now, he's incredibly grateful that he did well in school and was able to repeat a grade, otherwise he might have ended up as a sent-down youth.

"Oh, that's alright. It's good that you don't know how to do housework either. For the next year, you can do housework with Zhang Juan and try to master everything. Once you get to the Northeast, you'll be able to take good care of your sister."

"Don't worry about not being assigned to the same place. You can ask your parents to help you find connections. You're going to be an educated youth in the Northeast, it's definitely possible."

Seeing Zhang Bin's changing expression, it was clear to anyone with eyes that he wasn't very happy. "Zhang Bin, is this question difficult to answer?"

"Didn't you just say it was just some housework? How come you can't do it?"

"Don't worry, it's alright. I remember this. I'll write to Director Ma of the neighborhood committee, and he'll be very happy to have an activist from our family," Zhang Yu said cheerfully.

"I'm doomed," Zhang Bin thought. He had assumed that if he avoided answering the question, Zhang Yu would stop staring at him.

Who would have thought that she would set her sights on him and even say she would contact Director Ma to make him an activist? This really scared Zhang Fu and his wife.

They had already thought it through. If someone in the family had to become an educated youth, it would naturally be Zhang Yu. If someone else had to become an educated youth, there was no need to consider it; it would be Zhang Juan. At this time, their daughter should think more about her brothers.

But who could have imagined that Zhang Yu, such an unpredictable factor, would frequently appear in their home? And who could have imagined that despite all their careful efforts to get them on the plane, something still happened?

"Zhang Bin, do you even have the right to speak on this matter?" Zhang Fu was very displeased. If they weren't outside, and if the topic hadn't involved educated youth, he really would have wanted to slap him across the face.

“I could choose not to say, but I feel this is the money I earned through my own labor, and there’s nothing I can’t say. If you’re jealous that I get money every month, you can apply directly, and I’ll give you the money then.”

"If you can't do it, even if you have opinions, don't complain in front of me. Otherwise, if I hear it, I'll write a letter immediately. I can write the letter even when you're at work. After all, who doesn't want an active member in the company?" Positions are fixed. If a permanent employee leaves, there will be more opportunities.

After Zhang Yu said this, even Zhang Tao didn't dare to say a word, worried that this madman was going to cause some trouble again.

The scene immediately fell silent. Zhang Yu glanced at everyone, then looked at Zhang Hui, who was looking down, seemingly lost in thought.

Although Zhang Hui wasn't the one who changed the original owner's fate several times, as a beneficiary, even knowing the truth, she didn't help the original owner at all, even when she had the ability, which Zhang Yu found very annoying. "See, these brothers and sisters who are usually close to you, even though I said that after we get to the Northeast, they'll help you with chores and your parents will give them pocket money, none of them are willing to go to the Northeast."

"Didn't they say before that they would follow you wherever you go?"

"So, that's how it is..." Zhang Yu snorted a few times. "I know you're upset and think I shouldn't have taken the money."

“But I think it’s normal. You’re an adult too. You can do housework by yourself. I used to take care of you because you were my little sister and you were young. But now you’re older and you can do it by yourself.”

"If you don't want to do it, I will put in the effort and I will get a reward. It's normal, just like my parents get a salary every month when they go to work."

"And then there are them..." Zhang Yu gestured directly at Zhang Tao and the others, "They talk a good game, but when you really need people, they all go silent and don't say a word."

"Including Zhang Bin, I told him to spend a year learning how to do housework properly, and what do you think of the result?"

“I’ve really been very good to you, Zhang Hui. If you have any complaints, you should just shut up.”

"Of course, I'd prefer you to do the work yourself, so it'll save me some effort." Of course, the confidentiality fee still needs to be paid, since keeping a secret is hard work, and you need to eat something good to keep it a secret.

When Zhang Hui heard Zhang Bin and the others say things like it's only natural for an older sister to take care of her younger sister, and how could they accept money from her, she thought it made a lot of sense. They had taken care of her before, so why couldn't they take care of her now?

But when Zhang Yu questioned Zhang Bin and the others about why they didn't go to the Northeast as educated youth, they all shut their mouths and didn't say a word. It would be a lie to say that Zhang Hui had no thoughts on it and that she wasn't upset.

"But I don't know how to do housework, it's so hard." She has tried to learn some simple housework these past few days, and it's really hard work.

“You know how hard it is to do laundry and cook. You’re only washing summer clothes now. It will be even harder to wash clothes in spring, autumn and winter. Do you think it’s too much for me to take this money?” Zhang Yu asked back.

I remember when Zhang Hui got married, she learned to do housework and take care of the children. After all, the man wasn't an only child; he had an older brother and a younger brother.

In addition, neither of her parents-in-law has retired, so they won't help take care of the children.

Although Xue Lei was worried, she also had to take care of her grandson and couldn't go over to help take care of the child.

So there's no such thing as "I can't do housework" or anything like that. It's just a matter of whether you want to learn. Anyone who is willing to learn can definitely learn it well. Just look at how well she did it in later generations.

Zhang Hui had no idea that Zhang Yu was scrutinizing her so closely. But thinking about her future, she thought, "It's not excessive, really not excessive."

She had just thought about it and realized that her uncle and his family were giving her the money, so she didn't need to give it to them. Even if she didn't give it to Zhang Yu, she wouldn't receive the money anyway.

Her uncles and his family wouldn't pay her. Once she arrived in Northeast China, she didn't want to work. She would ask Zhang Yu to work, and she would still have to pay him, only this time it would be her paying.

Thinking of this, she felt no resentment whatsoever. Yes, Zhang Yu was greedy for money, but at least she had done the work. Zhang Bin and the others all talked a good game, but when it came to actually sending them to the Northeast, they had no one. (End of Chapter)
