Chapter 2234 Cousin is a capitalist lady 60
As the days went by, Zhang Yu learned from Zhang Hui that after Xu Ling and Xue Lei got angry, the housework was no longer entirely done by the two of them.

Zhang Tao and the others wash their own clothes. When buying rice or queuing to buy other things, they don't just do it themselves; they always call on Zhang Tao and the others.

Zhang Yu pouted at this, "Mom and Auntie are really getting old. They used to say how capable they were, that they could easily handle all the work by themselves without needing two people."

"Now we need two people to do the work, and we still can't handle it all." Zhang Yu said sarcastically, knowing that Zhang Hui and the others would definitely write to Xu Ling and the others, but she was not afraid.

"If you want to write back, that's your business, I don't care." Zhang Yu really didn't care; she was truly indifferent to so-called family ties.

"Um, Mom said my older brother is getting married soon, and she asked if we have anything to say about it." Zhang Juan knew that Zhang Yu would definitely explode if she said this, and if she could, she wouldn't want to say it, but she had no choice. Xu Ling had emphasized it in her letter, and she couldn't ignore it.

Zhang Tao is getting married soon, Zhang Yu thought for a moment and realized, "That's right, it's the day Deng Jie and Zhang Tao get married, what can I do to celebrate?"

Without even asking Zhang Juan, Zhang Yu could guess that Xu Ling's letter was definitely not kind. She probably even thought that since they could easily catch rabbits and get pine nuts in the mountains of Northeast China, and that as a sensible girl, she should prepare these things for Zhang Tao's wedding.

"I live off work points now. If I want to make a better life, I need to cook so I can eat meat."

"If I want to buy something, I have to go for a walk in the mountains to have the money to buy it."

“I’m too lazy to reply. Just tell Zhang Juan that winter is coming, it’s cold in the Northeast, and I lack warm clothes here.” Zhang Yu asked Zhang Juan to write this in the letter.

If the Zhang family really is preparing things to keep warm, then she will prepare things according to their value and the price she sells them to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Huh? Didn't the family ask them to mail some pine nuts and dried mushrooms back home, and if possible, some dried meat? Why are they now mentioning a lack of warm clothing?
Zhang Juan genuinely didn't understand why Zhang Yu brought this up, "Just this?"

Judging from her expression, she didn't understand what she meant, and Zhang Yu was too lazy to explain. She didn't seem like an idiot, but in some things, she just seemed so stupid.

Not wanting to talk to an idiot, as that would only make her look stupid, she turned and left.

Ah, Zhang Juan was stunned that Zhang Yu would turn around and leave like that. Confused, she went back to her room and asked Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui glanced at Zhang Juan and said, "She told you to write it this way, so just write it this way."

"But Mingming..." Seeing Zhang Hui's displeased expression, Zhang Juan lowered her voice as well.

"Since you came, have your aunt and uncle written to you or sent you money?" Zhang Hui thought about how her family had only sent her a small amount of money each month recently, and felt that she was really short of money.

Fortunately, because she lived with Zhang Juan, she couldn't cook for herself. Otherwise, with such a small amount of money, she would never have enough to spend. Even so, she would occasionally buy some meat to improve her meals, but she still wouldn't have much money left over.

Zhang Hui was considering whether she should go up the mountain, even if she didn't go deep into the mountains, just picking mushrooms at the foot of the mountain, which she thought could probably fetch a good price.

Zhang Hui knew that Zhang Juan usually went to the mountains on weekends and could earn a few yuan a month. If she was lucky, she could earn ten yuan or so. Although it couldn't compare to the income of workers in the city, at least she had some income.

Working in the mountains is really hard work. Zhang Hui had heard Zhang Juan mention it before. Every time Zhang Juan talked about the interesting things that happened in the mountains, Zhang Hui would give up the idea countless times because it was just too hard.

Forget it, she doesn't need to work so hard. Although money is always tight, at least she doesn't need to work so hard, and that's enough. Zhang Juan shook her head, "No."

"That's right. I don't usually think of you guys, but now that I need your help, I remember you. Don't worry about it."

"If you feel you have too much money, why not buy some meat to improve your meals? Wouldn't that be better?"

"Their lives are tough, but can they be tougher than ours?"

“They at least get a monthly salary, while you can only go up the mountain a few days a week, and you may not even get anything each time.”

"If they mail you something after they receive the letter, then you should mail back some dried mushrooms at the price of the items. If not, you'll have to figure it out yourself." Zhang Hui originally wanted to say that she didn't need to worry about it, but then she thought that Zhang Juan's older brother was getting married after all.

Zhang Juan understood. "What do you think Zhang Yu will do if they don't mail anything?"

"Of course she wouldn't mail anything back. After Zhang Tao started working, he did take us out to eat, but he never took Zhang Yu out to eat."

“Zhang Tao has never taken care of her, this girl, in the slightest when he was making money. Do you think Zhang Yu would treat him well?”

“My uncle and the others said that Zhang Yu was a traitor who would send things to her classmates but never send anything to them. They only saw Zhang Yu sending things to others, but didn’t think about how others were sending her things.”

That's right. Zhang Yu originally mailed things to her friends so that they would inform her about the Zhang family's situation. As a result, they would also mail things to her during holidays. Over time, their relationship naturally improved.

Zhang Juan fell silent when she recalled the packages Zhang Yu had received, none of which were sent by the Zhang family, but by her friends.

“I was just thinking, if my older brother gets married and the family writes to us, what will they think if I still pretend I don’t know? Will they help me if I encounter any problems in the future?” Zhang Juan hesitated for a moment.

Could she really expect Zhang Tao and his friends to help her out if something happened in the future? Zhang Hui thought she was a fool, but she never imagined there were people even more foolish.

Well, it's obvious they've been brainwashing the Zhang family for a long time. Forget it, this person is beyond saving. "It's your decision."

Zhang Hui yawned. She really felt she should give herself a good talking-to. She was so stupid to even try to give Zhang Juan some pointers.

Actually, this guy really knows everything and already had his own ideas, so he didn't need her guidance at all.

Zhang Hui truly admired Zhang Yu; she was the one who understood things best. From now on, she would follow Zhang Yu without saying much, nor would she utter a word of complaint.

"I... I just don't know what to do," Zhang Juan said, pulling Zhang Hui along. "By the way, are you going to give me something?"

"Me?" Zhang Hui looked at Zhang Juan in disbelief. Well, why did she find this girl so disagreeable? "What do you think I can do?"

"How about this, I'll mail it with you." Right, Zhang Juan clearly wants to mail something back, so she'll just hitch a ride.

Huh? Zhang Juan was stunned. She knew that they wouldn't mail anything back, and Zhang Yu wouldn't mail anything either. She was worried that if there wasn't much stuff, it would look bad.
She thought she could get Zhang Hui involved, but she didn't expect Zhang Hui to pull this stunt. She didn't do any work and still wanted to take credit for Zhang Hui's work. What should she do?
Zhang Juan wanted to decline, but she really didn't know how.
