Zhang Yu stood at the station with her luggage, waiting for Zhang Dong to pick her up. After finals, Zhang Yu was considering one thing, whether to go back. The house she used to live in had already been rented out, and she wasn’t keen on facing Zhang Hao and his wife’s expressions, especially since they’ve been causing a stir lately. Zhang Dong timed it right and gave her a call, telling her to come home for the New Year. Zhang Yu spotted the familiar car, quickly got in, and felt the warmth the moment she entered. "Rest a bit, once we get home, you can eat something," Zhang Dong said as he followed the traffic out of the station, asking along the way how Zhang Yu’s life was in H City. "Pretty good, I’m busy studying every day." Zhang Yu expressed that studying at the University of Science and Technology of China had been very rewarding. "You even took physics as well." Zhang Dong was stunned to know when he was in touch with Zhang Yu that she had gone to audit physics courses. Zhang Yu nodded, "Physics and mathematics are inseparable. I had time, and the schedule fit, so I went to listen." When Zhang Dong learned that Zhang Yu had taken physics, a thought flickered in his mind. Looking at Zhang Yu’s eager face now, "Little Yu, do you plan to pursue research work?" Zhang Yu nodded, "Yes, I plan to engage in aerospace work." Now that she voiced her idea, it was already alright; what if Zhang Dong objected? Aerospace research? Zhang Dong was slightly surprised, then let out a long breath, "You sure you want to pursue this research?" "Your father, I am engaged in research, and it’s really boring." "And you are a woman." Zhang Dong still felt that girls, in the end, needed to have a family. "You think because I am a woman, I should prioritize family, like getting married and having children, right?" Zhang Yu was not very happy. "I never thought about dating or getting married." "For me, my childhood was unhappy." "I have no concept of loving someone, nor do I know how to love someone." "Do you think in my state I can date someone, get married, and have children?" "I really can’t do it." Zhang Yu took a deep breath, her eyes red, "Someone said an unhappy childhood needs a lifetime to heal." "I am such a child, really." "I am fine on my own now, doing scientific research; so what if I have no family or children, I believe the country won’t ignore me." "Dad, I remember in your research institute, aren’t there a few researchers who never married or had children, yet the institute took care of them their whole lives when they got old." "Will my kids surely turn out successful or care about me when I’m old?" "Dad, you and mom are alright, both college graduates, considered figures of influence, yet look at Zhang Hao, didn’t he raise a useless son?" "A son who is a thankless child, such a fate I don’t want to experience myself." "You, you..." Zhang Yu’s words left Zhang Dong speechless, he didn’t expect Zhang Yu to bring up her childhood issues. Even considering the matter of support in old age, "Your brother, your brother’s situation is rather special." "How is it special? Now, aren’t there many like my brother?" "Dad, don’t forget the saying about the nephew inheriting uncle’s issues, what if the child I have turns out like Zhang Hao, forget it, really, I dare not imagine, what would I do then?" "I don’t want to worry about life when I’m old, to think about a son, about grandchildren, endlessly working hard to make sure their lives aren’t too hard." Hahaha, Zhang Yu thought that Zhang Hao, this useless person, was actually not entirely useless, he could be used as an example. For instance, when the family lectured, pressed for marriage and childbirth, she could bring up Zhang Hao, now known as the useless one by both the Zhang Family and Liang Family. "By the way, is Chen Jiaojiao about to give birth?" Calculating the days, it seemed like she was about to have the baby. Just don’t know whether it will be a boy or a girl this time, and whether they can have the kids from their past lives. Even if they aren’t those two thankless children, it doesn’t matter, with their teaching, the kids will surely become thankless children. Zhang Dong shook his head, "I don’t know, ever since they moved, I haven’t gone back." "Anyway, Zhang Hao and your mom are there to take care of her." Zhang Dong really didn’t know Chen Jiaojiao’s current situation. "I, as a grown man, constantly caring about the daughter-in-law’s situation, isn’t a good thing either." Zhang Dong threw out another excuse. Zhang Yu nodded, "True, once the money is settled, everything is settled." "That’s Zhang Hao’s business, he’s the father, didn’t he say he can handle it, if he can handle it, then he should take care of the pregnant woman and the future child." "It’s good enough that I contribute five thousand a month, and how much do I earn in a month?" Zhang Dong snorted. "Right, if your mom asks you to go over, don’t go, they are reluctant to hire a nanny, and none of them are willing to do housework." Zhang Dong recalled Liang Yan’s complaints. "I’m definitely not going," Zhang Yu patted her backpack, "I brought quite a few things back." "Plus, I have to start the class." Zhang Yu initially thought there wouldn’t be any cram classes during this break. But while she was away, several people asked if she would still run the classes. Since she was back, such money-making opportunities couldn’t be missed. "I’m busy making money, and I’m a girl, I’ve never taken care of a pregnant woman, no experience at all." "Besides, Chen Jiaojiao and I don’t get along, I’m worried that she might set a trap for me, and cause me to fall." Zhang Yu thought that Chen Jiaojiao might really do something like that. Chen Jiaojiao, who just had a child, surely wouldn’t want anything to happen to the baby, but now she might regret marrying Zhang Hao, possibly wanting to divorce any moment. But if she gets divorced, where would she go, the Chen Family certainly wouldn’t take her back. Zhang Hao has no assets in his name, a divorce would mean she leaves with nothing, which is something Chen Jiaojiao couldn’t face. If she could find someone foolish, securing money while not having to face abandoning her child, that would be the best choice. Zhang Yu believed she was the best candidate that Chen Jiaojiao had chosen, always thinking of ruining her. As for Liang Yan, if Chen Jiaojiao really had such thoughts, she might end up choosing her in the end, because someone has to be the scapegoat, to take the financial hit. It’s uncertain if Liang Yan is prepared, from her occasional complaints, Zhang Yu guessed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship had reached a critical point.
