78 -78 The Female Supporting Character Without a House 78_1

After living together for a month, Zhang Yu and Wang Yun were determined to become mother and daughter, so they took advantage of the free weekend to go and register the household.

Mainly because once Zhang Dagu and the others learned that Zhang Yu had adopted a child, they wanted to see the child.

Therefore, Zhang Yu also took advantage of the weekend to register the household and by the way, let Zhang Guohua and the others meet Wang Yun.

After receiving the message, even though Zhang Guohua was prepared, he still felt uncomfortable.

Chiang Yun, looking at the money in her hand and calculating the amount needed to buy a house, also felt irritated.

Initially, buying a two-bedroom apartment was enough, but now they needed to buy a two-bedroom, two-living-room apartment, with a larger kitchen and bathroom.

It really was just short of bluntly stating that these were the kinds of houses built in the last two years.

Alright, buying a new house not only gives face to the woman’s family, but it’s also a matter of honor for the man’s family.

But the crux of the problem is that they demand full payment, no loans, which is the reason Chiang Yun is infuriated.

A fully paid house costing over three hundred thousand, where could they, a couple, get so much money?

Are they not supposed to decorate the house, or provide a dowry for the bride?

Don’t they need to pay for the wedding banquet?

After all, it’s all about money, and the more Chiang Yun thought about it, the angrier she got.

Yet friends still said that such demands are really not high, and many women from well-off families make such requests.

If the man’s family isn’t that well-off, there is still one solution; it’s sufficient if the man is capable.

If the man is able, of course, affording a house is not a problem.

The problem is that Zhang Yi doesn’t have that capability.

If he did, would his marriage be a source of worry?

If Zhang Dagu had considered Zhang Yi when the house was repossessed, would the house be a problem?

And Zhang Yu, already of a certain age, is actually planning to adopt a child.

Right, summer is nearly here, why haven’t I heard anything yet?

“Guohua, is your sister really adopting a child?” Chiang Yun asked irritably.

“She has, she’s coming back this weekend to register the child’s household status and then invite us for a meal,” answered Zhang Guohua, feeling uneasy thinking about the imminent expense.

The money for the gift couldn’t be given stingily; if it was, when something came up in their own family, they would surely do the same.

What?

Chiang Yun hadn’t expected Zhang Yu to really adopt a child and stood up abruptly, “I, I didn’t mishear, did I?”

“Your, your sister, she really adopted a child?” Chiang Yun’s face went ashen, now what were they going to do.

Zhang Dagu made it clear he wouldn’t contribute much money, “Your parents are hiring nannies and going on trips.”

“Your sister keeps buying houses, and now she has even adopted a child.”

“Why do I have such hard luck, after saying Xiao Yi is the Zhang Family’s firstborn son and grandson, he wouldn’t be treated poorly.”

“I just don’t understand, in other families, the firstborn son and only grandson are treasured, but look at what’s happening in your family.”

Zhang Guohua was also angry, but seeing Chiang Yun’s state, he wasn’t happy either.

“What about my dad, it’s his business how he arranges his house.”

“My dad does cherish Zhang Yi, but just look at Xiao Yi’s behavior.”

Remembering how Zhang Yi only knew to play games when he got home and ignored everything else, Zhang Guohua was also very angry, “Such a waste, always only playing.”

“Little Yu is going to take professional title exams, studying for the CPA.”

“Yet Zhang Yi, even younger, only knows how to play.”

“Little Yu never even considered adopting a child before, but look at how Xiao Yi behaves, not even calling her ‘auntie,’ but directly by name.”

“And he wants to lecture her, saying he’ll teach her a lesson later.”

“Please, if it were you, what would you think?

Do you really believe that Xiao Yi will take care of Little Yu once she gets old?”

“More likely he’ll tell her to get lost early on.”

“You all just have to stir up trouble.

Now she’s gone to work out of town, and her income has skyrocketed, let me tell you.”

“The year-end bonus Little Yu gets can be more than your entire year’s income.”

“You’re always looking down on this and that, well now look who’s looking down on whom.”

Zhang Guohua remembered a piece of news he heard at a dinner party before and it made him angry.

What?

Little Yu’s year-end bonus is higher than her annual income?

Chiang Yun’s first reaction was disbelief.

Staring at Zhang Guohua for a long while, thinking whether to jest with him again, she realized he was not joking at all.

Chiang Yun’s expression suddenly turned unpleasant, and she slumped onto the sofa, deflated, “I really missed the mark.”

“Now you realize.” Zhang Guohua sighed softly, “Just watch, in the future her days will be better than mine.”

“A few days ago when I went back home, I overheard our parents saying Little Yu was still preparing to take the CPA exam.”

Zhang Guohua truly didn’t know how to express his thoughts, sighed helplessly again, “Really.”

Ah, Little Yu has been working for so many years, and yet, she is still hitting the books, preparing for exams.

As soon as Chiang Yun heard this, her mood became unhappy, “Why is she still preparing for exams?”

“No wonder the old folks look at Xiao Yi with such disfavor.” Chiang Yun wouldn’t think it was Zhang Yi’s fault, instead, she thought it was all because Little Yu was not good enough.

As Chiang Yun kept criticizing how bad Little Yu was, Zhang Guohua inadvertently recalled Zhang Dagu’s words, “Sparing the rod spoils the child.”

At that time, he thought Zhang Dagu’s words were an exaggeration, but now he had to admit, Zhang Dagu was right, Zhang Yi indeed had been spoiled by them.

“If Little Yu wants to keep her position at work without any backing, she can only improve herself.”

“As for Xiao Yi, let’s just say he sits idle in the office.”

Getting promoted was practically hopeless, “The connections on Dad’s side, he’s already retired.”

With everyone being fair-weather friends, the so-called old leadership became mere decoration, the little bit of goodwill, of course, kept for themselves.

Not to mention Zhang Yi doesn’t look like someone who will accomplish much.

To waste any more favors on him really isn’t worth it.”

Zhang Guohua knew their thinking and, although he was very angry, what could he do?

When Chiang Yun heard this, she became anxious, “What?

You’re saying Xiao Yi can’t get a promotion anymore?”

Their own connections were unreliable, so they could only hope that Zhang Yi would make an effort.

Now they found out that Zhang Yi couldn’t even get promoted, who could accept such an outcome?

Zhang Guohua looked at the anxious Chiang Yun, grunted affirmatively, “You know what Xiao Yi’s work attitude is like.”

“Would you want to owe too many favors for Xiao Yi’s sake?”

“When you have time, you should talk to him.

Don’t just think about playing games all day, at least try to learn something.”

“At least when the opportunity comes, he won’t just foolishly miss it.”

Zhan Zhang Guohua remembered the opportunities that Zhang Yi had missed and was especially angry, “Think about how great that opportunity was.”

“We made all the preparations and then what?” Zhang Guohua admitted his own talents were mediocre, but he didn’t expect Zhang Yi to be even worse.

Chiang Yun knew that Zhang Yi wasn’t doing very well in many aspects, and it was normal for Zhang Guohua to be angry.

But the problem is, can Zhang Guohua, as a father, speak about Zhang Yi like this?
