47 -47 No House Female Match 47_1
Zhang Yu’s mood was far from good as she took a deep breath.
They were all so selfish, clearly the original owner’s tragedy was not inevitable.
Yet, no one thought about lending a hand or considering her retirement issues.
Did Zhang Guohua know?
Did Zhang Shouhua and the others know?
What about Zhang Hong?
Zhang Yu suddenly wasn’t so sure.
Although she wanted to think the best of people, it was truly impossible.
Some things, you really can’t control your thoughts about, but it’s fine, it’s not important now.
What would it change even if they knew?
After all, she wasn’t going to be manipulated by them like the original owner was.
What’s most, most, most important now was to find out why Pan Juan had called her.
Did she hope that she would give the house to Zhang Guohua, or did she hope to borrow money for Zhang Guohua?
Zhang Yu hummed in agreement, “Yes, the old leader spoke to me today, and I’ve chosen a place as well.”
Pan Juan thought Zhang Yu was unaware of the matter and was surprised to find that she knew and had already chosen the location.
She felt a pang in her heart, “Buying such a big thing as a house, and you didn’t discuss it with the family?”
Zhang Yu, with a laugh, replied, “The leader talked to me during work hours, how could I discuss it with you all?”
Zhang Yu, “Besides, I was going to buy a house anyway.
If the company offers a discounted house, naturally I can’t miss out.”
Zhang Yu, “Especially with off-plan properties, you select a house next year, then pay a portion of the money, and sign the contract upon delivery, get a mortgage if you need a mortgage, pay in full if you’re paying in full.”
Zhang Yu, “I have just enough to save up for the down payment.”
Zhang Yu, “After all, I am working out of town now, and the house will be empty; I won’t furnish it until I am ready to move back.”
Even knowing that Zhang Dagu and their house would be delivered earlier than the company’s property, she didn’t plan on living there.
The neighborhood of that property would be highly sought after in the future because of its nice environment.
Once she finished the house, surely people would use any excuse, such as the house shouldn’t be left empty, and the elders could help look after it.
Zhang Yu could guarantee that once they moved in, the house would no longer belong to her.
It would become the Zhang family’s property, and they would all have free reign.
When she returned, she’d find that she, the owner, would be a guest, and all the guests would act like the owners.
Pan Juan didn’t expect that just a couple of questions would prompt Zhang Yu to say so much: “As long as you’ve decided, that’s fine.”
Zhang Yu responded with an “Oh”: “Yeah, it’s my money.
I call the shots, I’m an adult now.”
Pan Juan glanced at Zhang Guohua, who was nearby: “Which neighborhood did you pick?”
Although it was only Pan Juan’s voice, Zhang Yu was sure that Zhang Guohua was definitely right there.
Having already chosen the location, there was nothing she couldn’t reveal, so she described her choice before Pan Juan could respond: “I don’t have a lot of money.
The other locations are nicer, more expensive, and highly competed for.”
Zhang Yu, “I am just a minor player; I can’t compete with them.”
Zhang Yu, “Those neighborhoods, they all have good school districts, but I don’t have kids, I don’t need to consider that.”
Zhang Yu, “Given that, I thought, if I could, I might as well use the same money to choose a bigger house.”
Pan Juan didn’t expect that Zhang Yu would have picked such a location: “That place is quite remote, don’t you know?”
Pan Juan held back for a long time before swallowing the words about returning the house.
Zhang Yu laughed: “I know, why else would I choose that place?
It’s cheap because it’s remote.”
Zhang Yu, “And isn’t that area, if you think about it, quite far from anyone else’s home in the family?”
Pan Juan’s heart jolted when she heard this.
So, this was the main reason you chose this house?
What about houses being cheap, or that some houses can be larger?
A bachelor doesn’t need such a big house.
Zhang Yu knew he had once again successfully misdirected Pan Juan and her family, and he was in a great mood because of it.
Zhang Yu: Okay, Mom, you can rest assured.
Although I’m paying for the whole house, I won’t be borrowing any money from you or Dad.
Zhang Yu: Don’t worry, how are you and Dad’s health by the way?
Zhang Yu repeatedly stated he wouldn’t borrow money from Zhang Dagu and his wife: By the way, Mom, Chiang Yun called me yesterday to borrow money.
Zhang Yu: It’s hilarious, just for a three-bedroom house, she only needs to put down a hundred thousand, and she’s asking to borrow that amount from me.
Zhang Yu: It’s like getting something for nothing.
How did Guohua and you bring this up?
It’s just so I might not buy a house and give them the money to buy a bigger one instead.
She would bet anything that Guohua and his wife would never tell Pan Juan about this.
They were afraid of getting scolded by the old lady, but Zhang Yu didn’t care.
If possible, he hoped to give Guohua a harsh scolding.
What?
Pan Juan genuinely didn’t know about this.
Hearing about all of Guohua’s worries, she thought they made sense.
Buying a house is no small matter.
Zhang Yu has never gone through it before.
Shouldn’t he discuss it with the family?
Now that she had heard what Zhang Yu said, the old lady sharply realized that he probably thought Guohua was trying to use her to convince him not to buy a house.
Pan Juan shot Guohua an annoyed glance: Don’t meddle too much.
Pan Juan: Those with money buy three or four-bedroom houses.
Those without money settle for smaller ones.
When Guohua heard this, he immediately understood that Zhang Yu had tattled over the phone.
And the old lady had also given her advice, not to lend money.
Sigh, Guohua could only sigh helplessly.
Even if the old lady didn’t mention it, he knew not to get his hopes up.
After all, Zhang Yu was buying his own house.
How could he lend them money?
The big house had just flown away.
Guohua refused to take the blame.
It was all because Chiang Yun had no plan.
If she hadn’t called Zhang Yu yesterday, how could he have known anything?
At least now with Pan Juan stepping in, the situation wouldn’t be as awkward.
As it stood, not only had he offended Zhang Yu, but he had also offended Pan Juan again, and Guohua could only express his helplessness as life got increasingly difficult.
But what could he do?
Life was hard, yet one had to bear it and keep going.
Zhang Yu knew that deep down, Pan Juan might have hoped that he would lend the money.
But now that she knew he was buying a house himself, hope was gone.
Since that was the case, there was no need to exacerbate the situation and upset her.
Zhang Yu grunted in agreement: Mom, don’t worry.
I’m not going to lend the money, especially not to Chiang Yun with her temperament—I won’t give in.
Zhang Yu: Not lending money, and she even had the audacity to use Zhang Yi not taking care of me in my old age as a threat.
It’s absurd.
Zhang Yu: I have no expectations for her precious son.
Zhang Yu: With his spoiled ways, giving him money and a house is a given, but to expect him to take care of anything is impossible.
Zhang Yu: Mom, I’m asking you to have a serious talk with Guohua.
I don’t have any expectations for the Zhang Family’s children.
Zhang Yu: They are all capable, all busy with important things.
How could they care for a childless, unaccomplished old lady like me?
Pan Juan knew Zhang Yu now had the upper hand.
There were questions she wanted to ask Zhang Yu, but she didn’t dare.
But it didn’t matter.
She could ask Guohua and find out exactly how much he had been hiding.
