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

Chapter 2226 Cousin is a capitalist lady 52
Zhang Yu went to the post office to collect her luggage. Ever since she left early that morning to take the oxcart to the commune, Zhang Juan's disdain had been growing, and she made no attempt to hide it.

Zhang Yu also noticed the old man's displeasure and knew that although Zhang Juan had just arrived in the village, she was destined to become a celebrity soon.

Although not many people left the commune today, she saw two gossipy old women from the two villages pointing and whispering about Zhang Juan. She knew that once they returned to their villages, they would definitely nag her endlessly.

This kid really thinks he can just give her a hard time at home if he's unhappy. This is the countryside, you know. He hasn't even figured out the situation yet, so it's not surprising that he's giving her advice.

Zhang Juan quickly picked up her luggage, glanced at Zhang Yu, and said, "Sister, can you help me get it to the oxcart?"

Zhang Juan spoke up helplessly, knowing that Zhang Yu would never lend a hand unless she asked.

Although she really didn't want to help, it was obvious that it was an impossible task for Zhang Juan to carry such a heavy package to the oxcart by herself.

After helping to move the items onto the oxcart, Zhang Juan breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that she was with Zhang Yuxue so that the items could be mailed first; otherwise, carrying so many things up and down the road would have been a considerable burden.

"I've taken the things, and I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative now." She didn't bring some fragile items, and her family wouldn't let her take them either, because they needed them too.

Zhang Yu doesn't need to buy anything, and even if she did, she wouldn't do it today. With Zhang Juan being such a stubborn and shameless person, if she sees Zhang Yu buying things, she'll definitely ask Zhang Juan to help her pay the bill.

Zhang Juan took a couple of steps, but didn't hear any footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw that she hadn't moved at all. "Why aren't you moving?" she asked.

Zhang Yu didn't even lift her eyelids. The weather was really nice today, with a gentle breeze and sunshine, perfect for resting.

He waved his hand and said, "Go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. It's near the post office. You have good eyesight, so you can see it."

"Of course, even if you still haven't found it, use your words! Mom says you have a sweet tongue, so this little thing can be solved."

Zhang Yu waved her hand, "Go ahead, you're not a child anymore. You can travel all the way from your hometown to the Northeast by yourself. I came here with your sister Zhang Hui back then."

Zhang Yu yawned and continued to rest with her eyes closed. Seeing her motionless, Zhang Juan was really angry and stomped her foot hard.

“I bought too much stuff, I can’t carry it all,” Zhang Juan said unhappily.

“You know you need to buy a lot of things, so why don’t you do it in batches? I’ll buy some and bring it here, and I’ll stay here and watch over the luggage.” Zhang Yu waved her hand, urging Zhang Juan to hurry up. “Hurry up.”

"By the way, we'll leave around 10 o'clock and get home around 12 o'clock. After I eat something light, I can still go to work," Zhang Yu told Zhang Juan, keeping track of the time.

“If you miss the appointed time, I’ll go back with the oxcart, and you can walk back yourself.” Zhang Yu would never walk back to the village with Zhang Hui.

Ah, Zhang Juan originally wanted to continue with Zhang Yu and have her go to the supply and marketing cooperative together, but when she heard that it was just one trip, she panicked.

Yesterday they took an oxcart to the village, and the journey was very bumpy. But last night, when she stayed with Zhang Hui and heard her say that they had walked all the way from the commune to the village, she suddenly felt that it was quite nice.

Now that she heard Zhang Yu say that time waits for no one and that if she missed the bus she would walk back, she wouldn't complain anymore and would leave quickly.

Watching Zhang Juan flee in disarray, Zhang Yu smiled. That's how it should be; otherwise, who knows how long she would keep whining.

As the gentle breeze lulled her into a drowsy sleep, Zhang Yu drifted off. Zhang Juan, who had just bought a thermos and some odds and ends, returned to find Zhang Yu fast asleep, and felt a pang of jealousy.

She hadn't had a proper rest during the train journey. She had hoped to get some rest lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), but Zhang Hui's legs kept pressing against her. Already exhausted, Zhang Juan wanted to get a good night's rest, but after one night's sleep, she felt even more tired.

According to Zhang Juan's original plan, Zhang Yu should have a lot of money on hand, so she could have Zhang Yu pay for the purchases. She even wrote a list of many things that needed to be bought.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu refused to enter the supply and marketing cooperative at all, making it impossible for her to carry out her previous plan. But it didn't matter, she had a backup plan.

"Sister." Zhang Juan shook Zhang Yu awake. "I still have some things to buy, and I... I don't have enough money."

"Don't worry, when I get back, I'll go to the educated youth settlement and give you the money," Zhang Juan said pitifully, clasping her hands together.

Hahaha, I knew this would happen. Zhang Yu was very puzzled. "Before I left, I asked you if you were going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. You said yes. I told you to bring enough money, otherwise you wouldn't be able to pay. You said you brought enough."

Zhang Yu shrugged. "I didn't plan to buy anything, so I only brought two cents for the bus fare."

“I didn’t need to pay these two cents. I was carrying your things, so you should have paid for it. But never mind, since I’m your sister, I’ll pay for both my train ticket and your oxcart ride.”

That's right, Zhang Yu's proactive payment of their transportation costs completely shut Zhang Juan up.

Zhang Juan was initially quite smug, thinking that Zhang Yu was still the same old Zhang Yu, and that she was being very proactive in paying for the oxcart ride. However, she didn't expect that the only thing the other person intended to do was pay for the oxcart ride.

"But I haven't bought everything..." Zhang Juan simply didn't believe that Zhang Yu hadn't brought any money.

Zhang Yu did bring money, but it wasn't in her clothes at all; it was in her spatial storage. Knowing Zhang Juan didn't believe her, she emptied all her pockets, saying, "I really don't have any."

"If you don't believe me, I can take off my shoes." Zhang Yu said, taking off her shoes as she spoke.

There was no money inside, which stunned Zhang Juan. No money, really no money. "You really didn't bring any money?"

"Of course I didn't bring any money. You can ask the older women how much money I received last year." Some of the older women had already finished their business and returned to the oxcart to wait for their turn.

"Didn't your family send you money every month?" Zhang Juan asked, still unwilling to give up.

"What are you saying? I've only been here for a few months since last year, and do you think I don't have to spend money?"

“I bought a cabinet, a kang table, a kang mat, a bucket, and a basin. You just bought a thermos, you know that’s not cheap, right?”

"And when I eat, I need to buy at least some pots, pans and other utensils."

"And you're here too. You'll cook for Zhang Hui, and I won't eat with you. We'll eat separately. We agreed that I would provide the vouchers and Zhang Hui would pay. Now I need to give her some money to buy a pot."

“I usually don’t get many work points, and I have to pay for my own food. So, how much money do you think I have left?”

“Zhang Juan, your parents love you so much, they would definitely bring money with them.”

"How about this, since you don't have the money, you can buy it next time you come," Zhang Yu suggested.

Buy it next time? She won't buy it next time. She has some money, but her family won't give her much more. She glanced at the packages on the oxcart. She had really offended a lot of people in her family because of these things.
