Chapter 2277: Chapter 2278: My Cousin Is a Capitalist’s Daughter 95

Zhang Juan thought for a while and decided to tell Zhang Yu about Zhang Hui’s current situation. She hadn’t mentioned it to anyone, not even in front of her parents, claiming that she never had any contact with Zhang Yu.

She knew that once her parents knew she had contact with Zhang Yu, they might force her to ask Zhang Yu for some assistance for the Zhang Family.

Zhang Juan didn’t want to open that door, even when her son was looking for a job after graduating from university, she didn’t have this thought because she knew that although she could still call Zhang Yu, once she asked for help, no one could predict whether Zhang Yu would assist, but it would certainly result in no further contact.

Zhang Yu hadn’t heard Zhang Hui’s name for a long time, she just knew that Zhang Hui’s life after returning to the city was tough, Zhang Tao’s wife had opinions about her, especially after learning that she had no Zhang Family blood, they isolated her from Zhang Tao’s family because of that ridiculous incident in the Northeast.

Afterward, Zhang Hui was constantly expecting members of the Ge Family to return to the Mainland, then reunite with her so she could be a wealthy heiress, living without financial concerns.

Unfortunately, the Ge Family did return to the Mainland, but they never intended to acknowledge Zhang Hui, even when Xue Lei brought her to visit, the Ge Family simply responded blandly saying they hadn’t heard from her parents, and nothing more was mentioned.

Zhang Yu sighed after hanging up the phone, Qian Hao looked up at her, "Why are you sighing out of nowhere?"

Zhang Yu mentioned the contents of Zhang Juan’s call, "I knew Zhang Hui’s life after returning to the city wasn’t great, but didn’t expect it to be this bad, alas."

"Before, when she was at home, she could make demands whenever she wanted, and her parents had to fulfill them."

"Who would have thought that she now has to go out and work as a maid." In the past life, according to the original memory, the rich madam with two maids at home actually had to become a maid herself, the contrast is really stark, fortunately, Zhang Hui doesn’t know.

Qian Hao hadn’t expected Zhang Juan to bring this up in her call, but didn’t think Zhang Hui’s situation necessitated pity,

"Life is how you live it yourself. Back then, so many intellectual youths returned to the city, even those with families to carry, returning without a residence permit, without a job, without a house, still managed to persevere."

"Don’t look at anything else, among the intellectual youths from our old youth point, only a few managed to get into university." Among those who left the youth point after getting into university were Zhang Juan and another intellectual youth, but afterward, no one else managed to get into university.

Once the return policy was issued, people returned to the city one after another, but back then jobs weren’t plentiful, and homes weren’t there to settle in, people managed to strive step by step.

"Back then, wasn’t there a joke that making atomic bombs was less lucrative than selling tea eggs, if she had sold tea eggs or done some work, she could have sustained herself."

"I remember you mentioned, after returning to the city, she stayed at home, waiting for her birth parents to find her?" Qian Hao learned from Zhang Yu’s mouth that Zhang Hui wasn’t a Zhang Family child, her parents were capitalists.

Zhang Yu responded with a sound, "When she learned they returned to the Mainland to invest, didn’t she try to reunite with them?"

Qian Hao rolled his eyes impatiently, "Zhang Hui doesn’t understand, and Xue Lei even less so."

"Capitalists, capitalists, of course, prioritize interests. Without work, and being useless, even if younger they could marry into a family, but at her age, having nothing, would anyone reunite with her?"

"Unable to contribute to the family, yet expecting to be supported by the family, how is that possible."

"Moreover, the Zhang Family raised Zhang Hui all these years, did they not have any demands? What could the Zhang Family offer to the Ge Family?"

Qian Hao glanced at Zhang Yu, "If you didn’t have a good relationship with the Zhang Family back then, the Ge Family probably would have recognized Zhang Hui after all."

After all, through Zhang Hui, they could have connected with Zhang Yu.

"How is that possible?" Zhang Yu knew very well the Ge Family would indeed be willing to recognize Zhang Hui because of her.

"I’m striving and working hard, not for Zhang Hui to reunite with her parents, I didn’t make things difficult for her, and that’s already good enough."

"Being a maid is quite good." Maid salaries are quite reasonable, though the work is tough, and Zhang Yu was very pleased when she thought about Zhang Hui having to serve others.

Ever since Zhang Juan confirmed with Zhang Hui that there was indeed a demand for maids outside, Zhang Hui packed up her luggage, carrying her ID, residence booklet, identity card, and property certificate, and left.

Of course, she left a note for Zhang Gui, indicating that she was going to find a job to support herself, no longer being a burden on the Zhang Family.

Zhang Gui got up in the morning, waited for a long time, but Zhang Hui didn’t show up, so he angrily stormed into Zhang Hui’s room, intending to give her a lesson or two.

He entered the room and realized that all of Zhang Hui’s belongings were gone, leaving only an empty room. Then he went to the dining room and found a note on the table, stating that she went out to work.

Seeing the note, Zhang Gui was stunned and immediately informed Zhang Li and Zhang Qiang because he couldn’t manage without someone. Three meals a day needed cooking, laundry, and bathing also required care.

After Zhang Li and Zhang Qiang learned Zhang Hui went out to work, they were amazed, and of course, found excuses to refuse to care for Zhang Gui, mainly claiming they had to go out to work and earn some money for their grandson’s milk powder.

After discussing a solution, they decided to send Zhang Gui to the cheapest nursing home, renting out the house. The rental income coupled with the old man’s pension paid for the monthly nursing home fees, leaving them over a thousand each.

That made the two brothers extremely happy, originally they hoped not to contribute anything, but who knew they could actually earn some money.

As for how Zhang Gui lived in the nursing home, the two brothers didn’t care, sending him in, and paying a visit when the monthly fees were due, checking on Zhang Gui briefly, taking the old man’s request to return home as if they didn’t hear a word.

Zhang Gui was genuinely remorseful, remembering his wife’s words before she passed, saying couldn’t rely on the two sons, but depend on Zhang Hui for care.

Back then, he didn’t believe it at all, thinking Xue Lei just wanted the house to go to Zhang Hui, now he admitted his judgment was inferior to his wife’s.

Unfortunately, no matter how much regret he felt, Zhang Hui wouldn’t return, and in this remorse, Zhang Gui passed away.

Zhang Li and Zhang Qiang were delighted upon learning their father had died, calculating the house couldn’t be sold, no problem, they could continue renting it out, earning two to three thousand annually from rental income.

Who would have thought Zhang Hui directly sent a lawyer to visit, demanding either half of the rent or refusing permission to rent the house because she owned more than half of the property.

Indeed, Zhang Gui didn’t leave a will before he died, his half of the property’s ownership needed splitting among the three, and despite Zhang Li and Zhang Qiang’s discontent and curses, they ultimately had to agree to sell the house.

Indeed, sell the house, and in the end, Zhang Hui purchased it entirely, as per her intention, it’s the place where Xue Lei would spend her last years.

After buying the house, Zhang Hui continued renting it out, while working outside to earn money, observing Zhang Gui demonstrated that even with one’s own children, lacking sufficient wealth is futile.
