81: Chapter 81 No-House Female Supporting Character 81_1 81: Chapter 81 No-House Female Supporting Character 81_1 Zhang Yu hung up the receiver, still feeling dizzy.
She really hadn’t expected Chiang Yun to actually bring that up; she and Wang Yun had the sa na, which was quite disadvantageous to her.
Chiang Yun just hoped that Zhang Yu would talk to Wang Yun about possibly changing her na, since after all, Wang Yun was a child, and there weren’t many places where her na was registered, so the easiest would be for her to change her na.
After receiving Chiang Yun’s call, Zhang Yu was also bewildered by her request.
Honestly, when she had adopted Wang Yun, she hadn’t thought that far ahead; after all, it wasn’t the sa surna as hers, so she didn’t consider so much.
Not to ntion that Wang Yun had promised her father she would never change her na, even without that reason, Zhang Yu would not agree.
Although it seed to be over just a na, Zhang Yu could guarantee that this was a probe by Chiang Yun.
If she agreed this ti, who knows what new ideas might erge imdiately?
In any case, experience told Zhang Yu that she absolutely must not give in.
Otherwise, that person would definitely try to take an inch and get a mile, and Zhang Yu coughed lightly, “This na was given to Wang Yun by her biological father.”
Zhang Yu said, “When I adopted her, we had discussed it, and there was a firm decision not to change the na.”
Zhang Yu continued, “One must keep their word.
Besides, Chiang Yun, I rember there’s also an elder in your maternal family with so ‘Yun’ in their na, right?”
Zhang Yu asked, “Why then did none of your family elders suggest you change your na?”
Zhang Yu thought it through and found it to be a rather good idea, “In that case, it would be best for you to change your na; you wouldn’t clash with that elder, and Xiao Yun wouldn’t need to change hers either.”
Zhang Yu really started to think that it was not a bad idea at all, “You should just change yours.”
Chiang Yun hadn’t expected Zhang Yu to not only disagree with the change but to also bring up her maternal family elder, who also went by the single na ‘Yun’, and suggested that if anyone should change, it should be her.
Of course, Chiang Yun knew she had a relative whose na clashed with hers, but her situation was a bit different: that person was only a distant relative.
A distant relative?
Zhang Yu chuckled, “But that’s an elder after all, isn’t it?
Besides, I don’t think our relationship is that close.”
Zhang Yu expressed, “If we’re calling it a distant relationship, I think that’s quite fitting.”
Zhang Yu knew that once she said these words, Chiang Yun would definitely be unhappy and would complain about it to Zhang Dagu and his wife.
It would be nothing new, just complaints about her having no sense of family, about her being too independent.
Zhang Yu truly didn’t care, especially since she wasn’t bothered about Zhang Dagu and his wife’s opinions, and she also believed the old couple understood her point of view.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have said before what they said, about how they were all brothers and sisters and should help each other if possible.
But now, it really has been a long ti since she last heard Pan Juan and her family say those words.
Despite being well-prepared, hearing such words from Zhang Yu’s mouth still made Chiang Yun gasp.
Chiang Yun said, “Little Yu, do you understand what you’re saying?”
Zhang Yu humd in acknowledgnt, “I know, I’ve always known, and that’s that I really detest being relatives with you, just as you loathe .”
Zhang Yu added, “Alright, I’ve got work to do, no ti to waste with you.”
Zhang Yu suggested, “If you have ti, you might as well keep an eye on Zhang Yi, already of a certain age and yet so hopeless.”
Zhang Yu criticized, “All he does is play gas, he’s not a child anymore, completely lacking a sense of responsibility.
You tell , what girl would like a guy like that?”
Zhang Yu challenged, “Chiang Yun, you can’t just focus on making demands of the girl and ignore Zhang Yi’s credentials.”
Zhang Yu argued, “No house, no car, and his job is just so nondescript office position.”
Zhang Yu continued, “His inco is pitifully small, and his expenses huge.
Any girl with half a brain, would they like Zhang Yi?”
Zhang Yu clucked her tongue a few tis, “Forget it, I won’t say any more, he’s not my son, so why am I so agitated.”
Zhang Yu: But sister-in-law, you have to work hard, if you don’t, and if Zhang Yi fails to marry a satisfactory wife, it could be a big problem.
Zhang Yu: Okay, I’m hanging up now.
After finishing her words, she promptly hung up the phone and began to work because, after all, making money was the most important thing, and everything else was secondary.
After work, Zhang Yu first went to the entrance of the residential community to buy so vegetables, then went ho.
By this ti, Wang Yun had already arrived at ho, quietly studying by herself.
Hearing the noises at the door, Wang Yun quickly ran out, “Mom, you’re back?”
Running to the door to greet Zhang Yu, the latter handed her a light bag.
“Today we’re having stir-fried broccoli, I bought so yams, and they’ll go nicely with the beef soup from yesterday.”
“The shrimp today are good.
Do you want boiled shrimp or stir-fried shrimp in hot oil?”
Zhang Yu announced today’s nu and asked how Wang Yun preferred the shrimp to be cooked.
After thinking for a mont, Wang Yun replied, “Boiled shrimp.”
Having received the answer, Zhang Yu changed her clothes in the living room and put on her house clothes before she got to work.
Wang Yun quietly began to help wash the vegetables on the side, and because she wasn’t tall enough, Zhang Yu had specifically prepared a stool for her.
While cooking, Zhang Yu brought up the purpose of Chiang Yun’s phone call earlier that day.
Wang Yun’s first reaction upon hearing this was, “I’m not changing my na.”
“Right, we’re not changing it.
Really, if you were Chiang Yun, there’d be no need to change it, not to ntion you’re Wang Yun.”
“If we et her at a gathering in the future, don’t even bother with her,” Zhang Yu felt that Chiang Yun wouldn’t change her na, so she wanted to ntion it to Wang Yun.
Chiang Yun wasn’t soone to give up easily, and Zhang Yu actually had another concern: she was worried that Chiang Yun would use this matter to seek so advantage.
When Wang Yun heard Zhang Yu talking about this, she beca truly worried.
Although her household registration was already settled, it was still possible to change her na.
Unable to control her tears after hearing that they wouldn’t change her na, she said, “Mom, thank you.”
“Why are you thanking ?” Zhang Yu believed it was only natural, “This is what your father left for you, I don’t have the right to change it.”
“By the way, Xiao Yun, have you decided which school you want to attend?” Although Wang Yun was adopted from a welfare ho in this city, attending kindergarten was not a problem.
But for elentary school, there were so formalities to go through.
The most troubleso part was that Zhang Yu’s household registration wasn’t here, nor was her social security.
If she wanted to go to school, either she would have to attend a private school — a thought Zhang Yu had entertained before, as she felt it would be better for education.
When it ca to private schools at that ti, the first thing everyone thought about was that the tuition fees were indeed very expensive,
but the educational standards were also very stringent.
There were also good public schools, but they required an official household registration, which discouraged Zhang Yu.
Wang Yun knew her household registration was at Zhang Yu’s hotown and that it would be impossible to attend public elentary school in this city.
If she wanted to go to school here, she had either to pull strings or go to a private school.
Pulling strings would probably not work due to a lack of connections, but wasn’t private school very expensive?
Wang Yun took a deep breath, “If I attend a public school, would we owe a lot of favors?”
Zhang Yu humd in affirmation, “Yes, we would owe a lot of favors.”
If given a choice, Zhang Yu would prefer private schooling.
Though more expensive, so what?
It was better than being beholden to others.
However, since education was Wang Yun’s matter, Zhang Yu still hoped to hear more of her daughter’s thoughts.
