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

Chapter 2229 Cousin is a capitalist lady 55
Zhang Juan had just finished washing the dishes and was about to rest when she heard Zhang Hui say she wanted to take a shower. She was so tired that she didn't want to move.

"Sister, I'm so tired today." Zhang Yu could have earned a few work points back then, but Zhang Juan couldn't do that. After the family found out that she had taken over taking care of Zhang Hui, they stopped giving Zhang Yu money every month, but they didn't give her that money either, not even a portion of it was wired to her.

This really disappointed Zhang Juan, who had initially had some hope. Knowing there was no hope, she started working hard to earn more work points.

She wasn't asking for seven or eight work points, but at least five or six. It really exhausted her, and she just wanted to rest when she got back.

But she couldn't rest. There was someone at home waiting for her to cook and do laundry. In particular, to save money on vegetables, Zhang Juan also cultivated her own plot of land. You could say she was really busy, extremely busy.

Knowing that she was busy every day, I didn't ask Zhang Hui for any help, but at least I didn't want to make her even busier. "Sister, the weather isn't that hot today, so you don't need to take a shower every day."

“I want to take a shower. If you don’t want to, that’s fine. You can go to the communal sleeping area.” Zhang Hui said coldly. “Honestly, Zhang Yu did it just fine before.”

That brat is actually complaining! She didn't even complain about how awful the food he cooked, yet she thinks there's too much to do.

After Zhang Hui finished speaking, Zhang Juan, who had wanted to say something, could only helplessly shut up, knowing that Zhang Hui really wasn't bluffing.

Boil water for Zhang Hui to take a bath, then do the laundry. After all that fuss, it was already past eight o'clock. She was covered in sweat and wanted to take a bath too, but then she remembered she had to prepare things for it, so she decided against it.

Zhang Juan carefully climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed). When she saw Zhang Hui turn over, her body stiffened abruptly. She was worried that she would wake her up and start nagging.

After turning over, Zhang Juan let out a long breath, turned off the light, and lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), staring at the ceiling.

At this moment, Zhang Juan felt truly lost. Life at home was difficult; there were too many things to do, no one to help, and everyone was constantly nagging and complaining, making it hard for her to keep going.
I thought life would be much better after I got here, but who knew it would be so hard? I have to go to work every day, and there are so many things to do when I get home. It's not any better than being at home.

If she had just stayed at home, her face wouldn't have gotten so tanned. But after only a little over a month here, her face has already gotten much darker. Now she finally understands why Zhang Yu always covers her face when she goes to work.

Sigh, forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. There's no point in thinking so much. Will staying at home necessarily make things better?
My older brother is getting married this year, and then he'll have a baby. My parents will be working, so who will take care of the baby? It will definitely be her. She'll be incredibly busy taking care of the baby and doing housework.

Then there's Zhang Li. Ugh, that's the real headache. She still remembers how her parents exposed Zhang Li's relationship, and how she was the first to find out. The way her uncle, aunt, and Zhang Li looked at her was so fierce. With them on the list, life would definitely be even harder.

Even if she does a lot of housework, she'll have to go somewhere else if the family needs her. It's better to stay here; at least she's eating well with Zhang Hui and doesn't have to spend any money.

Thinking of this, Zhang Juan felt much better and turned over to rest.

Since she stopped doing housework for Zhang Hui, Zhang Yu immediately felt much more relaxed. Although there was one less person, she had a lot more free time.

Seeing that Zhang Juan had set up her own plot of land, Zhang Yu naturally followed suit and started to cultivate her own plot as well. Not only did she get her quota, but she also arranged for the plots of land under Qian Hao and Zhao Yadong's names to be allocated to her as well.

Of course, to make management easier, a lot of sweet potatoes, corn and soybeans were planted. As for vegetables, they grew like crazy in the summer, which was definitely enough for the three of them to eat.

With the extra time, Zhang Yu would wander in the mountains. She did have some success, though she didn't find the ginseng she had been longing for. But that didn't matter; she hunted a wild boar and earned over a hundred yuan, which made her very satisfied. Zhang Yu was satisfied, and Zhao Yadong was even more satisfied. "I told you you didn't need to take care of her. You're busy as hell, and instead of appreciating your kindness, you think it's your duty."

"There was nothing I could do. If I hadn't taken care of them back then, they wouldn't have let me off the hook. But now things are better; someone has come to help." Zhang Yu is really satisfied with her current life, especially being able to see her two close sisters up close. They've become "plastic besties" in just one month, and the thought makes her happy.

The Zhang sisters are like this, so the Zhang family must be quite lively there too.

As Zhang Yu expected, since Zhang Juan went to the Northeast, no one has done the housework. Although Zhang Fu and Zhang Gui have been servants since childhood, they are used to doing nothing at home and acting like masters. It is impossible to expect them to do any work.

Zhang Tao and his friends had never done housework since they were young. In their minds, housework was a woman's job. In the end, Xu Ling and Xue Lei had no choice but to start doing housework again.

Everyone does their own housework, which is fine. But the biggest problem now is how to handle the cooking issue.

They hadn't cooked in a long time, and their culinary skills had deteriorated. Zhang Fu and the others were very dissatisfied after eating. Zhang Qiang, as the youngest child in the family, spoke without any restraint, "Auntie, Mom, the food you made is terrible."

"None of them are as good as Zhang Juan's cooking."

Zhang Tao and the others nodded in agreement. Their younger brother was really something; he said what they dared not say.

Xu Ling and Xue Lei were surprised to learn that the food they had cooked was not good, as they had not cooked for a long time and were not used to picking up a spatula again.

Who would have thought Zhang Qiang would be so disrespectful? Xu Ling and Xue Lei's faces immediately fell. "Eat up. If you think our cooking is bad, then you make it."

"Honestly, we have to go to work every day, and when we get home we have to buy groceries, do laundry, and cook. You guys don't do any work and you still complain."

“But Zhang Yu also went to class and did housework at home back then. She did all the housework by herself.” Zhang Qiang was unhappy. There were clearly people who could do it better.

Zhang Qiang really didn't understand, "She's clearly not a good person, so why make her go to be an educated youth?"

Zhang Tao used to think that Zhang Yu could take care of Zhang Hui if she went to Northeast China, but later Zhang Hui started making a fuss about money, which made him very unhappy. What made things even more upsetting was that since Zhang Yu left, the family had fallen into complete chaos.

Originally, I thought Zhang Juan doing housework was already infuriating, but it made me so angry that I signed up to go to Northeast China to be an educated youth.

Thinking that Zhang Juan was gone, there were still Xue Lei and Xu Ling. They could do housework. They used to be very efficient at work. Even the capitalists said they were quick and efficient.

It turned out they were all just bragging. "Mom, can you even wash the clothes properly?" Thinking about the work clothes I wore today, the stains on them weren't even cleaned properly. Sigh, I'm really annoyed.

Zhang Fu and Zhang Gui also expressed their dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with you guys? The clothes aren't washed properly, and the food you cook is either burnt, has too much salt, or has no flavor at all."
