CHAPTER 1272: CHAPTER 1273: THE LOVE-STRUCK BROTHER’S SISTER 115

Watching Zhang Yu packing things, Liang Yan glanced around the room, "You know, that house is clearly yours, why don’t you just live there."

"The owner of the house comes back home, and actually stays at a hotel."

"Your dad is really heartless, leaving his two biological children in all sorts of neglect."

"It’s not his own kids, that’s where all the goodness goes, in the future, the big villa will be theirs."

"Why is my life so bitter..." Liang Yan lamented about her hard life, and how ruthless Zhang Dong was.

Hearing these old complaints, Zhang Yu felt frustrated, "Didn’t my dad buy you a villa?"

"You used to focus on your own family, the wealth you sent back then, considering the prices at the time, was enough to buy two villas."

"If only you didn’t support your family back then, you wouldn’t be living so poorly now."

"How does the Liang Family, which you used to support, treat you now?"

"True, Liang Hao and Liu Xia are not doing well now, are they?"

"Didn’t you always say they would have successful futures and they would be filial to you as their aunt?"

"Now that they have to work and make money, have they visited you and given you any gifts?"

Zhang Yu knew that after graduating from technical school, Liang Hao and Liu Xia found the factory work tiring and low-paying, preferring easy and low-paying jobs.

When they had money, they ate well, dressed well, and had fun, doing whatever made them happy.

Whenever they were out of money, they remembered their family, coming back to ask for money, and if denied, they tried all sorts of tactics to get it, refusing to stop until they succeeded.

Once they got the money, they spent it freely outside.

They didn’t even care about the Liang Family Elders who doted on them, let alone their parents, so how would they care for Liang Yan who hadn’t looked after them in a long time.

Listening to Liang Yan mention Liang Hao and the others, Liang Yan’s expression turned sour, "Don’t mention them, why bring them up."

"Each one is ungrateful, they don’t remember their poor, powerless aunt at all."

"Yeah, you also know you’re out of money now, that’s why they look down on you."

"So stop complaining."

"My dad’s wealth given to you has been all used up." Zhang Yu said plainly.

"Instead of complaining every day, why not focus on your dear son."

"He’s over thirty and still thinks about living off his parents." Zhang Yu really didn’t understand how they thought.

"You always think Dad supports Lu Ming, but don’t you think about how much he gets a month now?"

"The retirement salary is maybe twenty thousand a month, plus the villa’s rent is more than ten thousand; it’s just over thirty thousand."

"About 400,000 a year, giving Xiao Bao 150,000 to 180,000 a year, and their expenses on the island cost at least 120,000 a year."

"After calculating, it’s just 100,000 left, and there’s expenses for Dad’s friends, classmates, and old colleagues, which takes four to fifty thousand a year."

"Calculate how much is left."

Saying more was useless, it was better to deal with the economic accounts directly; Liang Yan didn’t refute the figures Zhang Yu provided.

She knew Xiao Bao’s tuition and tutoring fees took about that much in a year.

"Oh right, his patent fees." Liang Yan remembered the most important piece of money.

Zhang Yu just shook her head helplessly, "You forgot that Dad donated that long ago, creating a scholarship at his alma mater."

Liang Yan heard a bit about it before but didn’t ask much, thinking it was unrelated to her.

It turned out this matter was indeed quite related to her family.

Shooting a dissatisfied glance at Zhang Yu, "All because of you, you see, you’re doing nothing productive, just always helping Dad with that."

"Setting up a scholarship, really such a big ability." Spending money without thinking of supporting and helping the nephew?

This was only dared to be said in her heart, never aloud, for fear of provoking a blowup from Zhang Yu.

"My money, I spend it how I want." Zhang Yu retorted unceremoniously.

"Don’t you think, a scholarship set up by my dad, wouldn’t that catch attention from above?"

Zhang Yu thought Liang Yan wasted her years at the research institute, "I don’t have children; even if I did, I have my own connections."

"Even if Lu Ming is somehow, he’s not my dad’s child. Of course, he’s nice to my dad, and Dad’s former colleagues see that, in the future when his kids grow up and want to enter this research field, they will more or less benefit."

"The biggest beneficiary is Xiao Bao." Zhang Yu only wanted to say that Zhang Dong still hoped for Zhang Hao’s lineage to do well, otherwise, why operate like this.

It’s a pity from Liang Yan to Zhang Hao, all that mattered to them was money, they didn’t think further.

"As long as Xiao Bao does well in exams and wants to follow the research path, won’t there be someone to help him in the future?" Zhang Yu analyzed for Liang Yan.

Liang Yan listened quietly, occasionally asking a question, "I see your dad too, not thinking, how much money can one really make doing research."

"You said you studied mathematics; if you had gone into the financial industry back then, who knows how much you could have earned by now."

"Instead, you insisted on entering the research institute. Did you even buy a house in the Capital City?"

Liang Yan knew that Zhang Yu now had Capital City residency, but what use was the residency without a house?

Watching Liang Yan, turning the blame to her for being useless, not even buying a house in the Capital City, "Better than your dear son, did he buy you anything?"

"He still lives off his parents every day."

"Now your household expenses are from your money, right? Isn’t he working on the assembly line, earning thousands a month, plus rental income, yet he gives nothing to your household."

"I might be without success, but at least I’m not asking you for money." Zhang Yu retorted unceremoniously, too lazy to analyze further.

Fine, let them find out themselves if they think Zhang Dong’s arrangements aren’t good, Zhang Yu was really curious to see how under their planning and education, Xiao Bao would turn out.

Zhang Yu found out from Zhang Dong that Xiao Bao had finished the college entrance exam, feeling a bit lost; since a few years ago, Xiao Bao realized that his relationship with Zhang Yu didn’t give him an advantage, losing any closeness, and their contact became less and less.

Mostly during New Year, he would send a message, and more than that, there was nothing, including this college entrance exam news, which Zhang Dong had informed.

Zhang Dong felt a bit regretful: That kid’s physics and math were good, but he studied finance.

Zhang Yu was not too surprised by Xiao Bao’s choice: How much money can you really earn in scientific research.

Zhang Yu understood Zhang Dong’s regret: Dad, our family has always been in the research circle, if a genius emerged in the financial circle, that would truly be an honor.

Zhang Dong didn’t have Zhang Yu’s good mindset: Xiao Bao, that child, doesn’t have a stable enough mindset, as long as things go smoothly, it’s fine, but under pressure, he could easily collapse.

Zhang Yu could only comfort Zhang Dong: Every generation has its own blessings.
