Chapter 9 No House Female Supporting Character 9_1

Chiang Yun also wanted to, have Zhang Yu promise to come back every week to help pack, but she didn't dare.

After all, she was going to a new position and she didn't know how many new connections she would need to make there, plus there were major negotiations underway.

Zhang Yu, as the representative from the head office, would definitely be involved throughout. In short, she would surely be busy, and it might not be possible for her to come back every week.

Chiang Yun could only hope that Zhang Yu, not wanting to leave their old parents to manage on their own, would run back frequently.

"By the way, Little Yu, what about your housing situation when you get there?" Since she had already come, whether or not she got the result she wanted, she still couldn't just leave without asking about the situation.

"I'll be staying in a hotel when I first get there, but I can't stay there for long. After all, it's not convenient and, secondly, it's expensive."

"So I need to go house hunting this weekend and try to rent a place within this week."

"Then I will have to set it up, sort things out. I don't know if I can rent a house this week, or if I'll be able to get the house in order by next week."

Zhang Yu simply made a time schedule, and of course, she hoped she could rent a house this week.

However, some things really couldn't be controlled just as she wanted; she still had to see how it goes.

Listening to this, Chiang Yun's heart started to sink. Hearing her talk, renting a house this week, hoping to have the house set up by next week, meaning she shouldn't expect her to come back to pack for these two weeks.

This suddenly made her anxious, "Then when do you plan to come back to pack?"

She wouldn't have to depend on Zhang Hong and the others' goodwill by then, would she? At this thought, her expression became quite unhappy.

"I can't be sure about that. I haven't even arrived there yet; I don't know how my work is going to be."

"After all, I'm not going there as a mascot; I have to make achievements too."

"Mom and Dad, you support me doing well in my job out of town, right?" Hmph, she didn't expect Chiang Yun to take care of anything, and she certainly didn't hope for anything from Zhang Dagu and his wife.

Thus, she was too lazy to show any display of striving, simply desiring a state of no wants or needs, just doing her job well.

What could Zhang Dagu and his wife do, even knowing that the likelihood of Zhang Yu coming back to help pack was small, but now that she had spoken, how could anyone object?

Zhang Dagu was deeply unhappy inside, feeling that Zhang Yu was becoming increasingly disobedient and decided that he needed to teach Zhang Yu a lesson.

Otherwise, she really might start to think too highly of herself. "Little Yu, your brother and I are very worried about you going to work out of town."

"After all, you've never left this city before." Chiang Yun wore a look of reluctance.

Regarding Zhang Yu's abandonment of his responsibilities in Heze, she indeed had a great deal of complaints.

"I know, but I've been thinking a lot lately; they say that children who stay by their parents' side never grow up, never achieve anything."

"But the idea of changing jobs to start somewhere new out of town, I lacked the courage."

"This time, my leader gave me an opportunity, and I wanted to go out and try."

"I want to prove myself."

"Originally, I was worried about what would happen to Mom and Dad when I started working out of town based on the leader's arrangement."

"But now I'm reassured. Once I get the house next year, my oldest brother, second brother, and oldest sister's homes will be nearby, and they'll take good care of Mom and Dad, so I'm at ease."

Chiang Yun looked on as she spoke confidently about how good the leaders were, about how well their siblings would take care of Zhang Dagu and his wife, and how at ease she was.

At that moment, she suddenly had a thought: after getting hold of this house, it felt like a real loss.

Originally, we could have used the excuse of the distance from Zhang Dagu and his wife's place not to come here often.

But once we get the new house, will there be any excuses or reasons left?

Without the ever-efficient and frequently scolded Zhang Yu, Chiang Yun really worried that she would become the one who got scolded the most.

"Don't worry, your eldest brother and sister-in-law, they will definitely take good care of us," Zhang Dagu said impatiently.

"I've thought it through. When it's time to rent a house, I'll rent one near your brother's home."

"When I get the new house, I'll take the one right across the hall from your brother's door."

"And your second brother and your sister, their houses will also be nearby. If possible, we could choose apartments in the same building," he added.

Zhang Dagu felt that Zhang Shouhua and the others would surely fully support this choice because it would be livelier and less worrying to have the whole family gathered together.

Living right across the door from the old man and having the other two siblings in the same building is indeed a remarkable difference from the past.

The original householder, although they also got resettlement housing, were located within the same neighborhood but were a bit apart.

What's more important is that, apart from Zhang Yi, who moved in due to marriage, the houses of Zhang Shouhua and Zhang Hong were rented out.

This time, the old man wants the houses to be in the same building, hoping that if possible, they too would move into the new houses.

Such a big change made Zhang Yu really want to ask if it was because of her?

However, she also knew, even if she asked out loud, Zhang Dagu would never admit it. He would surely say this was a decision made long ago.

Anyway, whether they lived upstairs or downstairs, or kept the same arrangement as before, it was their business, irrelevant to her, who was about to work abroad.

"Dad, I think this arrangement is good. That way you can see my brothers more often and you can also look after each other," she said.

It's just unknown whether they would be able to maintain the excellent tradition of dining together every week at Zhang Dagu's place under such circumstances.

Regardless of how things evolve later on, at least at this moment, the intention is good.

Zhang Dagu really didn't want to listen to Zhang Yu's suggestions. If not for her, would they be in such a mess right now?

They should have been selecting their house types early on and then discussing compensation with the redevelopment office.

The previous conditions or supposed agreements were something Zhang Dagu would definitely not sign. Negotiations had to continue.

Upon hearing Zhang Dagu's words, Zhang Guohua and his wife felt like going mad.

To live right across from Zhang Dagu and his wife meant they would be the first ones thought of in case of any issues, didn't it?

If Zhang Yu came back, Zhang Dagu and his wife wouldn't need their concern, someone else would take care of it.

But the problem was it was uncertain how many years Zhang Yu would work abroad. If she stayed abroad indefinitely, wouldn't Zhang Dagu and his wife be their responsibility forever?

Chiang Yun, just thinking of taking care every day of Zhang Dagu and his wife, as well as Zhang Guohua and his son, felt she couldn't bear it anymore—it was just too exhausting.

She looked at Zhang Yu pitifully, hoping she could return from abroad earlier so that someone could share the burden.

Chiang Yun looked directly at her, and of course, Zhang Yu could sense her hopes that she would come back sooner if possible.

She could only say that she too hoped to return as soon as she could, but as a lonely old woman, she had to consider her future. Therefore, she needed to work hard to earn and save money now.
