The welfare worker confirmed with Zhang Yu multiple times, “Are you really certain about adopting Wang Yun?”
Having visited the orphanage a few times, Zhang Yu had already learned about Wang Yun’s reputation there, which was not very good.
Although she was indeed pretty, and many adoptive families were willing to take her in, her insistence on not changing her last name scared quite a few people away.
After all, encountering a family with the last name Wang was not that common, not to mention finding one that was also satisfied with Wang Yun.
Generally speaking, many families prefer to adopt younger children who have poorer memories.
Changing the child’s name after adoption is quite normal, symbolizing a new beginning.
Furthermore, Wang Yun wanted to talk to the prospective adoptive families and would only agree if she thought they were alright, which made her quite the challenge for the orphanage.
“Yes, can I talk to her?” Zhang Yu wasn’t worried about having a child with a strong personality.
Given the situation at her home, if she wasn’t assertive, she could easily be bullied somewhere without her knowledge.
Not seeking to bully, but hoping not to be bullied—Wang Yun’s temperament was something Zhang Yu thought was particularly suitable.
Seeing Zhang Yu’s determination, the staff member went to call Wang Yun over.
Zhang Yu decided not to have the conversation indoors but instead sat down on the grass outside.
Wang Yun, having been through several adoptions, was momentarily taken aback upon seeing Zhang Yu, but then sat down as well.
Good, Zhang Yu found her quite to her taste, “I’m Zhang Yu, and I want to adopt you.”
No matter what, she had to speak the truth, and Zhang Yu was too lazy to think up reasons—it was better to be direct.
Wang Yun had initially thought it was just a formality and figured it wouldn’t work out upon seeing that Zhang Yu was alone.
Normally couples came together, and now there was only Zhang Yu, which seemed unlikely.
“I won’t change my name or surname, and I have a bad temper,” Wang Yun stated her requirements plainly.
She knew that typically, no one would agree to these conditions.
“No problem,” Zhang Yu said, indicating no need to change names or surnames, “A name is just a symbol.”
Huh, so she really doesn’t have to change her name or surname?
Wang Yun stared at Zhang Yu in surprise for a long time, “Don’t deceive me just because I’m young.”
“I know how to write my name, and if you try to change it when registering the household, I won’t stay with you.”
Wang Yun threatened Zhang Yu with a tone resembling her grandmother’s, a tactic she had encountered before.
“And you don’t need to discuss this with anyone?” Wang Yun suspected Zhang Yu of being a big bad guy who deceives kids.
Wang Yun stated she was no longer a child, except that she didn’t know what to do besides cry.
“We’ll register the household together, and you can watch as your name is written down.”
“I’m not married, and I can make decisions on my own.” Is this truly just a child who started kindergarten in September?
What?
Not married—Wang Yun knew many people got married at a certain age, so why wasn’t she marrying?
And was it that she wasn’t getting married now or that she would never marry?
Wang Yun remembered something a kindergarten classmate said: adults are cunning, and they act according to their own thoughts.
As for the thoughts of children, they truly don’t matter.
It won’t do; she must ask for clarity, “Will you marry in the future?”
Wow, to think so quickly—Zhang Yu suddenly felt a surprise.
She pondered if perhaps the heavens were being too good to her, granting her a little genius.
“When I was young, I didn’t marry because I had to take care of my family.” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
“Now, I haven’t even considered marrying.”
“Adopting a child means I don’t want to marry and have my own.
If possible in the future, I’d like to just provide a little care.”
Taking care of you wholeheartedly?
Zhang Yu really dared not think that way, “I’m a financial officer, and I’m very busy.”
“That’s why I prefer a child who can look after themselves, someone self-sufficient.”
Wang Yun, understanding this, realized that what Zhang Yu hoped for was someone who could manage on their own without disturbing her.
“If you don’t want to take care of a child, why would you?” She really didn’t understand; even if it wasn’t about adopting her but someone else, wouldn’t you still need to provide some care?
“Adopting a child means that at least when I’m sick, there will be someone to sign for me.”
“At least someone to visit me.”
“Of course, if you remember to do so.” Zhang Yu watched Wang Yun intently for a while, “Of course, if you don’t want to take care, I have nothing to say about it.”
“Will you let me go to school?” Wang Yun pondered.
She had seen many families that adopted her and her friends.
But someone like Zhang Yu was quite rare, and Wang Yun didn’t quite know what to say, so after some thought, she decided to simply continue asking her questions.
“Of course, you must go to school.”
“Education gives you hope.”
“Otherwise, how will you find a job you’re satisfied with in the future?”
“I don’t expect you to have a great future, but at least you should be able to support yourself.”
Having adopted a child, it’s impossible not to care about their future—that is not something she could do.
Wang Yun lowered her head to think for a while, “Okay, I agree.”
“When you’re old, I will definitely take care of you.”
Zhang Yu didn’t take Wang Yun’s words to heart; what would such a young child know?
Promises are easy to make, but fulfilling them is not.
“My dad always told me to be a person who keeps promises.
Now that I’ve agreed, I must do it.”
“You shouldn’t be someone who breaks their word.” During her year at the orphanage, Wang Yun experienced a lot and learned to understand people’s hearts.
Wang Yun’s dad said that?
She still remembers her dad?
Zhang Yu had thought Wang Yun was a child abandoned by her parents.
But from Wang Yun’s reaction, it seemed likely she ended up in the orphanage because her parents had died, “Do you know where your parents are buried?”
Wang Yun, not understanding, looked up at her, confused about why she would say that.
“See, if I adopt you, shouldn’t I speak to your parents about it?”
“Tell them about your situation so they can rest easy.” Zhang Yu felt that, for Wang Yun, it was probably important to pay respects to her parents.
“Really?” Wang Yun’s eyes immediately lit up, looking at Zhang Yu with an earnest brightness.
“Of course it’s true; I think they would be worried.” Even though Zhang Yu said child’s attitude towards her didn’t matter much,
did it truly not matter?
She believed that if Wang Yun could remember her late parents, there was no way she wouldn’t treat her kindly.
“Will you handle the procedures today?” Wang Yun told herself, it’s settled.
If she missed the chance with Zhang Yu now, she didn’t expect to have such an opportunity again.
