63: Chapter 63 The Female Supporting Character Without a House 63_1 63: Chapter 63 The Female Supporting Character Without a House 63_1 Zhang Guohua discovered for the first ti that Zhang Yu, walking ahead, had a much straighter back, and her gait had also beco much more graceful.
Even though he knew Zhang Yu had changed a lot, he really hadn’t expected her transformation to be so drastic.
Could this be the aura of a superior?
Well, that made sense, as she used to be just a finance clerk with no hint of leadership about her.
But now she was a leader with people flattering her; naturally, her deanor had elevated.
Zhang Guohua silently followed behind Zhang Yu without saying a word.
Zhang Yu thought Zhang Guohua would speak up, but to her surprise, they had walked for so long, and he had stubbornly stayed quiet.
What was going on?
Zhang Yu didn’t understand Zhang Guohua’s intention, so since he was keeping quiet, she decided to do the sa.
After all, she wasn’t the one in a hurry, and so she continued walking, lost in her own thoughts.
In fact, these past few days, she had been pondering a question, that is, whether she should adopt a child.
She had said the other day that she could read books with the child and set a good example, but was it really that easy?
Zhang Yu knew it wouldn’t be easy; the emotional investnt involved was significant.
And whether the child would grow up smoothly and beco a useful person was sothing only Heaven knew.
But it seed like the original owner of her body would also wish to have a child, as Zhang Yu had said before—it looked like an adult growing up with a child, but it actually was a healing process.
She had made her decision; if possible, she would adopt a child.
Besides, she truly didn’t believe a nanny would be that much help.
If she had a child, wouldn’t things be better?
After all, the original owner’s wish was to enjoy a peaceful old age.
If that was the case, then she would adopt a child.
Now that she thought of it, Zhang Yu decided to visit the welfare ho tomorrow to inquire about the procedure.
Zhang Guohua walked along, thinking that after such a distance, Zhang Yu would eventually give in and ask.
However, unexpectedly, he remained silent, and so did Zhang Yu.
Left with no choice, Zhang Guohua had to break the silence, “Um, um…”
Hearing Zhang Guohua finally started to talk, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, ready to get to the point so she could go ho sooner.
To her astonishnt, all she got was a hesitant mumbling.
Speechless, she truly didn’t know what to say—Zhang Guohua had sought her out, yet he was unprepared to talk.
Zhang Yu turned around and started walking back ho, initially having thought that Zhang Guohua had a lot to discuss and had reserved extra ti for it.
Now she realized that no amount of ti would be useful; you can’t help soone who is truly foolish.
With this in mind, there was no need to give him more ti; she might as well return ho earlier.
Zhang Guohua looked up to see Zhang Yu heading ho and called out, “Little Yu, what are you doing?”
“If you don’t have anything to say, then why delay?”
“You might not be hungry, but I am.”
“If you want to take a walk, then go by yourself,” said Zhang Yu as she strode forward.
“If you have sothing to say, make sure you organize your thoughts.
I certainly don’t mind if you speak in front of the whole family,” Zhang Yu wasn’t about to coddle Zhang Guohua.
Seeing Zhang Yu moving ahead with strong, determined steps, Zhang Guohua knew she really could do that.
“Little Yu, I’m begging you, please stop causing trouble with your sister-in-law.”
So be it if he lost face, Zhang Guohua didn’t bother with crafting his words anymore.
No matter how he put it together, it still needed to be said.
Asking her not to quarrel with Chiang Yun?
“First get it straight, who started the trouble.”
“Your wife took advantage of the situation back then.
Did you ever consider , your sister, and tell her to show so restraint?”
“You were just quietly sitting aside at the ti.”
“OK, if you were silent like a dead person back then, please don’t co back to life like a zombie now.”
“It’s not like soone has to yield just because soone else has been wronged.”
“No one must always be the one who never suffers a loss.”
“Seriously, why on earth must I yield to her?
What has Chiang Yun, as the elder sister-in-law, ever done for ?”
“Has she ever bought anything?”
“Forget it, don’t get my hopes up; such things won’t make wealthy, and I won’t be poor without them either.”
“However, Zhang Guohua, you need to make an effort.
If the old man takes the house and you get nothing, will you have the money to buy a house when Zhang Yi marries?”
“You have to plan for the wedding, too—all counted, it will require at least five hundred thousand,” Zhang Yu clucked her tongue repeatedly, “You really need to work hard to make money.”
“Otherwise, what will you do?” Zhang Yu hadn’t anticipated that her departure would cause such a significant butterfly effect, and she truly didn’t know what to say anymore.
Five hundred thousand?
This figure stunned Zhang Guohua, “Sis, you’re scaring .”
“I’m just spooking you?
Go see the market rates for yourself; didn’t Chiang Yun say last ti we need at least a three-bedroom for a wedding house?
That’s at least two hundred and twenty thousand, and with decorations, you’re looking at three hundred thousand.”
So people really don’t know the market out there, but no worries, we can slowly explain to him.
“If it’s buying a new house built in the last two years, it could even be three hundred thousand.”
“Imagine if Zhang Yi says grandparents all live in elevator-equipped apartnts.
That will be even more expensive if you want one, too.”
“Really, shelling out five hundred thousand is quite possible,” Zhang Yu coldly remarked.
Zhang Guohua took a deep breath, “Yeah, it really does take that much money.”
“You’re in a good position,” Zhang Guohua felt if he couldn’t get his hands on the house this ti, he should nd his relationship with Zhang Yu.
She had acquired a duplex, so they could exchange: he could sell the place they were living now at market price to her, and then she could sell her company-owned apartnt to him at an internal price.
He had always known Zhang Guohua to be a sharp guy, but he hadn’t expected him to be this shrewd.
After staring at him for a long while, Zhang Yu let out a cold laugh and proceeded to walk past him without a word.
Zhang Guohua knew just by her reaction that she must be very upset, “Sis, sis, I really think you don’t need to live in such a big place by yourself.”
“Sis…”
Zhang Yu didn’t want to hear Zhang Guohua’s endless nagging, so after rushing ho, she found Zhang Dagu and relayed all that Zhang Guohua had said.
“Why do you think I’m alone?”
“I’ve told you, I plan to adopt a child.”
“Even if I am alone, I want to live in a large house, and that’s my choice.”
“A house in the city center?
So what?
It doesn’t have the greenery I want.”
“Don’t talk to about school districts; even if I adopt a child, I’ll have them study elsewhere until I move back.”
“Even a single-room apartnt in the school district is great; why should I exchange houses with Zhang Guohua?”
“A fifth-floor apartnt without an elevator is not sothing many would fancy.”
Moreover, as the city’s center of gravity shifts away, the area where Zhang Guohua currently lives will lose a lot of its luster.
Despite still being close to reputable elentary and middle schools, the environnt really isn’t great, and Zhang Yu simply doesn’t like it one bit.
