CHAPTER 1173: CHAPTER 1174: THE SISTER OF THE LOVE-STRUCK BROTHER 16

Zhang Dong transferred six thousand to Zhang Yu’s card, "I sent you six thousand."

Zhang Yu looked at the message that popped up on her new phone, "Got it, Dad, I’ll go grocery shopping every day."

Although it’s a bit tiring, I can earn some extra money.

Liang Yan overheard Zhang Dong saying he transferred six thousand, "Why did you transfer money to Little Yu?"

"Didn’t we just discuss that Little Yu will start doing housework tomorrow, so I gave her the money to go buy groceries."

"You used to take five thousand a month for groceries, I’m giving Little Yu six thousand." Zhang Dong explained simply.

Ah, Liang Yan hadn’t expected Zhang Dong to not discuss with her and just give Little Yu six thousand.

She wanted to argue that they only needed dinner for their family of four, so why did they need six thousand, but she really didn’t dare say that.

As soon as she objected, Zhang Dong would definitely ask her why she needed five thousand.

Liang Yan now truly regretted delegating the responsibility to Zhang Yu, "Let me do the grocery shopping."

"Little Yu doesn’t know how to shop for groceries." Liang Yan didn’t want to do housework, but she definitely couldn’t forgo that extra income.

"What do you mean she doesn’t know how to shop, she used to shop for groceries before."

"Besides, if she doesn’t know, she can learn." Zhang Dong said impatiently, "You can’t wake up early to go to the market."

"If we rush to the market after work in the evening, many vegetables are gone, and the rest aren’t fresh." Zhang Dong had had enough.

"If you can get up every morning to buy fresh vegetables, I wouldn’t object either."

Waking up early every day, Liang Yan didn’t even consider it, "I, I really can’t do it."

"I’m busy every day, busy as a bee, I don’t have many hobbies left." Hobbies cost money, those money-draining hobbies, Liang Yan had already given them up.

Sleeping in doesn’t cost money and can lighten my mood; no matter how you think about it, it’s the most cost-effective deal.

Zhang Dong had no other choice, "So, we can only let Little Yu buy the groceries."

Liang Yan could only give up reluctantly, what else could she do? She couldn’t claim to be able to handle it herself.

"By the way, what happened earlier, were you arguing with Xiao Hao?" Zhang Dong wanted to know who Liang Yan could possibly argue with besides Zhang Hao.

Zhang Yu, tidying up in the next room, perked up her ears to listen.

Liang Yan wanted to cover it up a bit, but recalling Zhang Hao’s attitude just got her more furious, she decided not to hide anything.

Angrily, she relayed her earlier conversation with Zhang Hao, "Can you believe, after exams, he went out to play with friends and didn’t even let us know."

"He didn’t let us find him, I had to go through his class teacher to contact his friends."

"And then the brat gave me an attitude, saying I embarrassed him."

"How did I embarrass him? Doesn’t he know how worried I was when I was looking for him?" Liang Yan angrily vented.

Zhang Yu tried hard to suppress her laughter, knowing this was technically her responsibility, Zhang Hao surely wasn’t pleased with Zhang Yu.

Zhang Dong listened to Liang Yan’s complaints, "Didn’t Xiao Hao tell you?"

Liang Yan had been on the phone with Zhang Hao earlier, and only remembered this after he reminded her.

"He did mention it." Liang Yan’s expression wasn’t very good.

"He mentioned it?" From the look on Liang Yan’s face, she seemed to have forgotten, "Since the kid mentioned it to you, then you’re at fault."

Zhang Yu didn’t expect Zhang Dong to be so straightforward, directly shutting down the intended complaint.

Liang Yan snorted a few times, "Whose side are you on, why aren’t you siding with me?"

"I feel that your attitude towards me is really poor right now." Liang Yan protested,

"How am I being bad to you, I’m just stating a fact." Was he wrong? Of course not.

Zhang Dong thought of the new young guy in the lab, "I think you’re just being too sensitive now."

Recalling how the young guy described his arguments with his girlfriend, he thought, "Yeah, that’s right, I think you’re just being sensitive."

Ah, Zhang Yu never expected Zhang Dong would link sensitivity with Liang Yan, she covered her mouth to prevent laughing out loud.

She absolutely couldn’t laugh out loud or she’d bear all the blame for this incident.

Liang Yan certainly knew the meaning of sensitivity, she never expected it could have anything to do with her.

"I’m done, anyway, Xiao Hao isn’t coming back for dinner."

"In such hot weather, I’m slaving away in the kitchen just to make you food, and this is your attitude."

"We’ll just have porridge." Liang Yan said angrily, she couldn’t hold it in anymore; she wanted Zhang Dong to know the consequences.

"Porridge it is, then." Zhang Dong was also angered, she dared to lose her temper at him, he would definitely not indulge her, "We’ll use the ingredients tomorrow."

If she doesn’t cook, so be it; she thought she’d force him to beg.

Liang Yan originally thought Zhang Dong would apologize, would seek forgiveness, but to her surprise, he wouldn’t apologize, even for porridge.

What now? She glanced at the pricey ingredients she bought, if saved for tomorrow, wouldn’t Zhang Yu need to buy one less day’s worth of groceries?

Originally, with the six thousand, she could earn quite a bit, with all these good ingredients, she had planned to use them as main dishes for several days.

With that thought, all her anger simmered down.

No matter how dissatisfied, she refused to let Zhang Yu benefit; even if it was tiring, Liang Yan cooked all the ingredients in the kitchen.

She saved a portion for Zhang Hao, "Dinner’s ready." Liang Yan said with annoyance.

Zhang Yu walked into the kitchen, seeing the dishes taking up most of the table.

"Today’s meal looks great, Little Yu, you just follow this standard in the future." Seeing Zhang Yu standing by the table, Liang Yan set a benchmark.

Following this standard in the future? Zhang Yu looked at the ingredients, "Are you sure this standard applies, Mom, didn’t you say it’s for celebrating today?"

Zhang Yu wasn’t in a hurry, after all, Zhang Dong was footing the bill, "Dad, look at Mom’s proposed standard."

Zhang Dong’s face darkened as he looked at Liang Yan, "Liang Yan, I never thought our family meal standard was this high, a thousand a day."

"How’s that, it’s not your money, and this is your attitude."

"Fine, if you’re insistent, in September, keep this standard, I’ll give you five thousand a month." Zhang Dong was increasingly thinking Liang Yan was being picky.

Zhang Yu snickered, she intended to hold back, but on second thought, Liang Yan was already bullying her, why give in.

Liang Yan, in a huff, sat down heavily, what could she do when Zhang Dong wasn’t on her side.

"Didn’t you buy a lot, how come there’s so little?" Zhang Dong, who had gone shopping with her, was aware of how much they bought.

On usual days, she’d put it in the freezer and make it for Zhang Hao tomorrow, but as Zhang Yu was buying groceries tomorrow, it couldn’t be left over.
