Chapter 85: Chapter 85 No-House Female Supporting Character 85_1

Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Dagu and his wife with faces full of expectation, and wondered what else she could say.

She felt once again that encountering the Zhang family was always a good thing, as if it weren’t for running into Du Xia and her daughter, she wouldn’t have needed to come back this time to report in.

Nor would she have brought up this matter, nor would she have included them. It was originally just a trip for mother and daughter, but now Zhang Dagu and his wife were added to the mix.

After thinking it over, Zhang Yu said, "You two go get a health check first. If the medical reports show no issues, then I might consider taking you with us."

If the health check reports came back clear, Zhang Yu thought to herself that this was not going to be good, and she may actually have to take them along.

Oh well, since there was a high probability she would be taking them, she still needed to clarify the situation.

More importantly, she worried that if they had a good experience on this trip, they’d insist on joining future trips. What would she do then?

"I need to raise my daughter, and I also need to save money to buy a house."

"In any case, I’m under a lot of financial pressure. For this trip, we’re taking the economical route."

"Not to say it will be tough, with poor sleep and accommodation, but it won’t be terrible nor luxurious."

"No problem." If Zhang Yu said that having fun on the trip was what mattered, money was no issue, it would actually freak him out. He would worry she might be eyeing his money to squander.

"Also, about the expenses, you’ll need to cover your own costs."

"Plane tickets and hotel prices, as well as food that we eat together, I will pay for those. Then, we’ll calculate the daily expenses."

"If you’re sure you want to go, give me ten thousand in advance for booking the tickets."

After all, taking people on trips was fine, but she wouldn’t be expected to foot the bill.

"No problem," Zhang Dagu wasn’t upset, thinking this arrangement was quite good. "Old lady, should we go get our passports now?"

Zhang Yu had deliberately asked for ten thousand upfront to see if they would be reluctant to part with that money and unwilling to pay. If that were the case, she could outright refuse to take them along.

To her surprise, Zhang Dagu agreed without hesitation. What could she do? Zhang Yu could only accept that there was no helping it.

Zhang Dagu, seeing Zhang Yu’s frustrated face, couldn’t help but smile cheerfully. "Trying to compete with me, huh?"

"By the way, if we go, how many days will we be gone?" Zhang Dagu asked excitedly.

"We leave with Friday’s flight, and we’ll arrive there at midnight."

"Then we return the following Sunday. We can have a good seven or eight days of fun. How does that sound?"

Eight days and the budget is over six thousand per person? Zhang Dagu, of course, saw no issue with that. "It’s a bargain, really nice."

Turning to Pan Juan, who was still a bit pained to spend the money, he said, "Old Ning headed to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand not long ago, spent six days, and the tour cost over six thousand, plus there were additional personal expenses."

"That was three countries," Pan Juan had inquired and knew what Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand meant.

"If you really want to go, I can make it happen too."

"Singapore is really small, you just see a fountain there."

"As for Malaysia, a few cities are quite nice, but if you want to truly enjoy it, you must delve deep and take your time."

"If it were up to me, I wouldn’t be willing to rush through so many places in just a few days. After all, that’s quite exhausting."

"Rather, let’s enjoy the Thai beaches this time around, and next time, we can visit Malaysia."

"At least then, we can relax properly, instead of resting on the bus and getting off just to take pictures."

After briefly listening to Zhang Yu’s analysis, Pan Juan felt she made a good point, "Alright, this time we’ll go to Thailand."

"Next year, we’ll visit Malaysia."

"Maybe we’ll go for the Spring Festival." Zhang Yu felt that the festive atmosphere here was not truly festive nowadays.

Spring Festival felt like it was just a few days off, then a good rest and that was all. It really couldn’t compare with the festive atmosphere of childhood.

Traveling during the Spring Festival? If Pan Juan had a choice, of course she’d want to stay at home with her children.

She even wanted to ask Zhang Yu, did she really, not want to see Zhang Guohua and the others?

The Spring Festival was originally a time for family reunions, yet Zhang Yu actually suggested that she wanted to travel. Could siblings’ affection be strong with such attitudes?

"If we go out for the Spring Festival, what about the family gathering at home?" Zhang Dagu asked in a deep voice.

"My daughter and I won’t participate, you guys just stay home," Zhang Yu didn’t care at all, "Anyway, the relationship is very ordinary."

"There’s no need to pretend that we have a great relationship."

"Besides, didn’t we have a family gathering on New Year’s Day?" Zhang Yu felt one gathering was enough.

"I think Zhang Guohua and the others wouldn’t be happy to see us either."

"Of course, I’m not keen on seeing them either," Zhang Yu said without any concealment.

"For the Spring Festival, I can leave early, then with the holiday, I could have around ten days off."

Zhang Dagu thought for a moment, recalling last year’s Spring Festival gathering. Actually, any family gathering had a rather unpleasant atmosphere.

"Forget it, if this trip is good, we might as well travel during the Spring Festival." Humph, he was the old man with money in hand; why should he act according to their every whim and mood?

Wow, Zhang Yu hadn’t expected Zhang Dagu would agree. They had always been against traveling during the Spring Festival, believing that a family should spend it together at home to be true to the spirit of the festival.

Unexpectedly, the old man seemed to have had a change of heart, and Zhang Yu looked up at Zhang Dagu.

Pan Juan was also quite surprised, "If we go out during the Spring Festival, what about Zhang Guohua and the rest?"

"Without us, will they starve to death?"

"Besides, the housekeeper will go home for Spring Festival, then who will cook?"

"Last year during the New Year, you let them wash the dishes and they pulled such long faces, have you forgotten?" Zhang Dagu felt Pan Juan had a short memory.

"Inviting them over to eat is fine, but getting them to do chores is out of the question," Zhang Dagu said bluntly.

"Didn’t they say their colleagues travel during the Spring Festival? Weren’t they envious?"

"Back then, we were all kinds of prohibitive, insisting they stay home."

"Actually, thinking about it now, we were a bit too domineering. They have their own ideas, their own plans."

"If we go out for fun, we can also let them go." Zhang Dagu was very decisive, having made up his mind.

"We still need to look out for ourselves." After saying this, Zhang Dagu told Pan Juan to prepare the passport paperwork. They planned to handle it the next day.

Since they were going to take the old folks on a trip, Zhang Yu thought she might as well get some benefit out of it and brought up the phone call from Chiang Yun a few days ago, in which she mentioned how Wang Yun shared her name.

Zhang Dagu, who was quite displeased with this daughter-in-law, snorted coldly, "They don’t share the same name and last name, so if she feels uncomfortable, let her change her name."

He had once thought she was generous in her actions, but now it seemed her behavior was becoming increasingly erratic, "In the future, don’t take it to heart if she phones you."

Not bad, not bad at all. Zhang Yu felt great about the benefits of taking the old couple on a trip. In passing, she mentioned her encounter with Du Xia and her daughter that day, "Dad, it seems like Zhang Xin’s school is organizing an overseas field trip."

"She didn’t say it outright, but I think she hopes I’ll give her the money."

"My own expenses are high, so I won’t give any money. Anyway, I won’t count on them if Xiao Yun needs anything in the future."

This was the first Zhang Dagu had heard of it and he was slightly taken aback, "If you don’t want to give, then don’t. You’ve already helped them out so much before."

They would definitely not let the old couple off easily if they dared to ask Zhang Yu directly. Zhang Dagu quickly decided in his mind how much money would be appropriate.

Ha ha ha ha, hearing this, Zhang Yu felt incredibly satisfied. If only Chiang Yun and the others could hear the old man’s words, they would probably be furious to death.
