44 -44 No House Female Match 44_1
Zhang Yu was stunned when she received the call, she had never expected it to be from Chiang Yun.
Especially after hearing the other party’s purpose, she was stunned again.
After confirming several times with the person on the other end of the phone, Zhang Yu really wanted to curse.
Zhang Yu took a deep breath, “Borrow money?
Borrow one hundred thousand because you want to buy a three-bedroom house?”
Chiang Yun knew this was a bit much, but she thought since she had already asked, she might as well ask for more.
In her eyes, this money would eventually be given to Zhang Yi anyway, it was merely getting it ahead of time.
Hearing the affirmative answer from the other end of the phone, Zhang Yu felt that people really should not be given too much face, “I remember that for a three-bedroom house, you only needed a subsidy of one hundred thousand?”
Zhang Yu, “So you’re living in a big house, and you’re not paying a cent?”
Zhang Yu, “I don’t have money.”
Chiang Yun became anxious, “How can you not have money?”
Zhang Yu, “If you don’t have money, how can I have money?”
Chiang Yun was furious, constantly cursing Zhang Yu in her heart, thinking that such a person should end up lonely and miserable.
Chiang Yun, “Didn’t you say you want to buy a house?”
Zhang Yu hummed in response, “Right, I want to buy a house, so I don’t have money.”
Chiang Yun, “But you haven’t bought it yet.”
Zhang Yu, “Ready to buy a house at any time, can you immediately pay me back if I do?
Borrowing money is one thing, asking for it is another.”
Zhang Yu said sarcastically, “I buy things for the kids, and they say I’m a good aunt, a kind aunt, but the moment I can’t give them money, suddenly it’s Zhang Yu.”
Zhang Yu, “Do you think I’m still that foolish?”
Zhang Yu, “Besides, if you have money, you buy a house; if you don’t, you take a one-bedroom.”
Zhang Yu, “Both you and your husband have decent incomes and no money, how can I have any?”
Zhang Yu, “If you really want to buy a house, then go get a loan from the bank, although you’ll have to pay some interest.”
Chiang Yun was not unaware of loans; the reason she hadn’t considered it was the interest: “The interest is a lot, it really is a significant amount.”
Chiang Yun was really distressed, “You know that Xiao Yi isn’t getting any younger, he’s about to go on blind dates, get married early, and settle down.”
Chiang Yun, “A man, after all, only settles down and strives for progress after he has a family.”
Zhang Yu admitted some men were like that, but Zhang Yi just wasn’t one of them, even after becoming a father, she hadn’t seen any improvement in him.
Zhang Yu didn’t want to upset Chiang Yun, especially since she wasn’t willing to lend the money, “Mm-hmm, that’s good.”
Chiang Yun laughed, “When Xiao Yi gets married, as his aunt, you can’t be stingy.”
Stingy?
Expecting her to bleed money?
Zhang Yu hummed, “When Xiao Yi gets married, even the betrothal gift…
give 1888 yuan.”
She originally wanted to give two thousand, but then thought this number was more auspicious and also saved her over a hundred yuan.
Oh, Chiang Yun had been thinking that Zhang Dagu and his wife would give twenty thousand, and if Zhang Yu couldn’t exceed that, at least she should give fifteen thousand.
But she didn’t even get a fraction of that, and it made Chiang Yun curse her stinginess internally.
Still, Chiang Yun wanted to try her luck, “Mom and Dad said they would give twenty thousand.”
Huh?
Zhang Dagu and his wife only gave twenty thousand? freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Zhang Yu was also shocked by this amount, but what does it have to do with her?
Zhang Yu exclaimed in surprise, “After all, it’s the wedding of the eldest grandson of the Zhang Family.
As grandparents, they should contribute this much money.”
Zhang Yu said, “I think giving 1888 is pretty good.
Chiang Yun, after all, I’m not married and I don’t have kids.
The money I give is just that, given without expecting any return.”
Zhang Yu said, “So giving this gift money is fine.
Zhang Shouhua and his family can give a big red envelope, but don’t you expect a return gift or something?
Zhang Yu patiently analyzed for Chiang Yun, “You don’t need to worry about me.
Once I give the money, it’s given, without ever thinking of getting anything back.”
Zhang Yu said, “So don’t complain about it being too little.
Besides, when Zhang Yi becomes a father, don’t think about what kind of hefty red packet I might give.”
Zhang Yu said, “You should know that I’m just a bachelor, so whatever you get from me is pure profit, and you can’t complain about the amount being too much or too little.”
Zhang Yu said, “Right, Chiang Yun, since you’re really thinking about Zhang Yi’s marriage and want him to mature quickly, I truly believe you could consider taking out a loan in his name.”
Chiang Yun, listening to Zhang Yu mention loans over and over, really felt uncomfortable.
She had mentioned that the interest was very high and felt that this money shouldn’t be given out.
Chiang Yun truly regretted making this phone call to Zhang Yu; the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, “Little Yu, you’re not getting married or having kids, but have you considered what you’ll do when you’re old?”
Is this a threat?
Hinting that she should consider the issue of Zhang Yi taking care of her in her old age?
Zhang Yule laughed, “What’s there for me to consider about that issue?
I’ll directly hire a caretaker.”
Zhang Yu said, “As for the kid Zhang Yi, I really can’t have any expectations.”
Zhang Yu said, “Both my parents and I have the same idea – whoever treats me well gets my love and my property.”
Zhang Yu said, “Even if it’s the caretaker, that’s fine.
Who knows, maybe in the future the country will roll out policies and the government will help with elderly care, and the property might go to the state, which is quite possible.”
Hmph, to think she’s trying to use the issue of elder care to threaten me?
Please, I’m definitely not someone who can be threatened.
Zhang Yu said, “Moreover, Xiao Yi will have a heavy burden in the future, having to take care of parents and in-laws, as well as children.
Just thinking about it feels like an extraordinary burden.”
Zhang Yu said, “So I really can’t trouble Zhang Yi.”
Chiang Yun initially wanted Zhang Yu to think more about elder care issues for the future, but instead, she heard a very surprising result from the other person’s mouth.
That is, Zhang Yu had completely given up on Zhang Yi and never dared to expect that he would take care of her in her old age.
Chiang Yun hung up the phone without any energy and sat foolishly on the sofa.
After playing a few rounds of games, Zhang Yi felt thirsty and walked out of the room.
He saw Chiang Yun had already hung up the phone.
He took out a can of cola from the fridge and started drinking, “How did it go with Zhang Yu?”
They had discussed earlier and felt that they should really go for a three-bedroom apartment so they could have an extra study room.
If older relatives were to help with the kids, there would be space for them to stay.
But regarding the money, since Zhang Dagu was unwilling to contribute, they thought of turning to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu, always Zhang Yu, Chiang Yun thought about the words from Zhang Yu about Zhang Yi being irresponsible, “Is ‘Zhang Yu’ a name you can just casually call out?”
“You should call her ‘Auntie.'” At this moment, Chiang Yun really regretted, feeling that she should never have said in front of Zhang Yi how unsuccessful Zhang Yu was.
Because they, as a couple, often said so, it made the kid Zhang Yi feel that Zhang Yu was useless.
Now, as karma would have it, Zhang Yu had started to work hard and was earning more money, but now she looked down on Zhang Yi.
Call her Auntie?
Zhang Yi snorted coldly, thinking what a joke, what sort of elder could someone like Zhang Yu be considered.
“She disagreed to lend the money, saying she needs to buy a house too and suggested if we really want a three-bedroom apartment, we should pay for it ourselves.”
