Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 83 No-House Female Supporting Character _1

Chapter 83: Chapter 83 No-House Female Supporting Character 83_1

Zhang Xin didn’t make a sound, but she was thinking that Zhang Yu, being alone with a child and needing to buy a house, somehow managed to frequently go out and have fun on weekends.

She was even going to travel abroad soon, and even in her eating habits, she wasn’t the penny-pinching type.

Looking at her own situation, though Zhang Shouhua and his wife both worked and Zhang Shouhua was also tutoring, their income was quite good.

Yet the clothes she wore were always from the wholesale market; she had never bought clothes in a mall.

As for food, it was just average, nutritious enough, but there was nothing particularly good about it.

And with this upcoming trip abroad, Zhang Xin had no idea how much money Zhang Shouhua and his wife would give her.

She estimated in her mind, guessing that five hundred dollars would probably be about right and not to expect any more.

Although five hundred dollars was a significant amount of money, how could she not need to buy some food and necessities while out?

Also, having the rare chance to travel abroad, with so many relatives at home, how could she not buy them gifts?

Especially since Du Xia knew she was going abroad, she had already made a list of skincare products for her to bring back.

If that money wasn’t included in the five hundred, then the amount should be just barely enough.

But Zhang Xin felt that considering their usual habits, they would definitely include everything and just give her five hundred.

Thinking about it, she realized the money wouldn’t be enough, and she didn’t know if her grandparents would give her some money once they learned she was going abroad for a visit.

As they walked out of the visa office, Zhang Xin asked Du Xia in a low voice, who was taken aback for a moment, "Even if they do, they won’t give much."

"You heard what your aunt said, didn’t you? She and her daughter are both going abroad for a trip."

"If they’re going on a trip abroad, how much can they give you?"

"And don’t expect her to be generous." The old Zhang Yu would often buy things for the kids, but now, you really shouldn’t have too many expectations.

"But she has money," Zhang Xin whispered softly.

Knowing that Zhang Xin must be feeling dissatisfied, but then again, who in the Zhang Family wasn’t?

"Is your eldest uncle satisfied?"

"Is your aunt satisfied?"

"But what can they do about their dissatisfaction?"

"Can they directly confront your aunt and tell her what to do?"

"Like your grandparents, they don’t lack a place to live, but your aunt would rather rent a room outside than stay a day at home, right?"

"That alone proves her attitude: she doesn’t want to be entangled with the Zhang Family."

"Think about it, ever since your aunt started working elsewhere, her income has increased a lot, but has she bought anything for you?"

Initially, Du Xia might have thought that Zhang Yu was just being stubborn and would eventually plead for reconciliation, but who would say or think that now?

Zhang Xin actually understood this but kept hoping Zhang Yu wouldn’t be so heartless. However, she realized people could indeed be heartless.

Zhang Xin was silent for a long time. It was not known how much time had passed when they were about to reach home, she said softly, "Mom, will aunt someday send that girl abroad for studies?"

If she wasn’t considering it, why would she take the child abroad? Otherwise, a tour within the country would have sufficed.

Send that wild girl abroad for studies? Du Xia gasped, "She probably won’t."

"Studying abroad costs a lot of money."

"And is it really because studying abroad is an easy task?"

Du Xia thought of the preparations she and her husband had made for sending Zhang Xin abroad to study, and it was indeed very tough.

If Zhang Xin weren’t their own child, would Zhang Shouhua have worked so hard? Only a fool would undergo such hardship.

But now it seems the Zhang family does have a fool, and that’s Zhang Yu. The child was adopted, and she still remembers her dad, yet she agreed not to change her surname and even spent quite a bit of money on that girl.

"Besides, she’s not even your own daughter. Just watch, if that wild girl doesn’t study abroad, your little aunt’s life won’t be bad in the future,"

"At least she’ll have a daughter to take care of her in old age. But once that girl goes abroad to study, whether she’ll come back is another matter."

"How would she take care of a foster mother who lacks everything?"

The more Du Xia talked, the more she felt that the days waiting for Zhang Yu would indeed be as bitter as the taste of coptis.

"I don’t think that would be the case," Zhang Xin felt that with Zhang Yu’s shrewd nature, how could she make such a mistake.

"How could it not be?" Du Xia never considered Zhang Yu a particularly smart person.

"Think about her past, how she used to be fooled by others."

"Even outsiders could see that your grandparents were just using her, yet she still slaved away without complaint."

"But she still turned against them over the matter of dividing the house." Zhang Xin always thought that Zhang Yu would leave for a far place because Zhang Dagu and the others were biased in that matter.

Does it have to do with the house? You can’t say it doesn’t, Du Xia patted Zhang Xin’s head, "Somewhat."

"But just like she always says, ’I’ve never had designs on the Zhang family’s assets.’

In the past, everyone thought Zhang Yu was just talking and couldn’t be taken seriously, but now everyone knows that she indeed thought that way.

It’s just that the current Du Xia would still prefer it as it was before, with Zhang Yu continuing to do household chores, and they could still go back for food and drinks on weekends.

Not only would a lot of household expenses be saved, but it would also strengthen the relationship with Zhang Dagu and the others.

But now, the times they meet really aren’t many. Every time they visit Aunt Zhang and her family, it’s always a hurried visit.

They have no chance to properly talk about the things that have happened recently; even she, as their daughter-in-law, can feel her relationship with Zhang Dagu and his wife fading.

It’s said that even Zhang Yi, the eldest grandson whom the old couple adores, has stopped caring. They only talk about how much pressure they’re under as an old couple and can’t offer much help.

With Zhang Yi, that old couple wouldn’t bleed too much money, let alone with Zhang Xin. Du Xia thought about her family’s savings and their current living situation.

Du Xia really felt upset. Zhang Dagu and his wife were long retired, yet their relocated home was definitely better than the place they lived.

There was also a visit not long ago to the house of a childhood playmate who had bought a new house and just finished renovating it, inviting the three of them over.

The shock was indeed quite substantial, as, in their minds, how could people from the countryside have money?

Yet unexpectedly, the other party had actually bought a house in the city.

The more Du Xia thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became. She was the one who went to university, she was the one who found an excellent man.

So why does she pale in comparison to her childhood playmate? In any case, she had made up her mind to have a serious talk with Zhang Shouhua. She was tired of living like this.

Zhang Xin is clearly the most promising child of the Zhang family, yet she is constantly treated with disdain.

Even Zhang Yu already has an indifferent attitude toward the Zhang family’s children, no longer currying favor as before. Whether they greet her or not, she doesn’t care anymore.

It feels as if she lives in her own world, indifferent to many things outside, completely disengaged from the family affairs.
