When the staff at the welfare home saw off Zhang Yu and Wang Yun, they didn’t forget to caution, “If you find it unsuitable…”
For other children, they genuinely hoped they could get along well with their adoptive parents.
As for Wang Yun, they were genuinely worried, even though Wang Yun herself had agreed, but hadn’t she agreed to the previous few families as well?
It still resulted in returns, and for the welfare home, having a child returned was a significant blow to the child, making them feel unworthy.
Although Wang Yun had been returned several times, she likely didn’t dwell on it much, giving off the impression that she continued to eat and sleep well.
But some scars are truly etched in the heart, and they are not so easily forgotten.
“Don’t worry, it won’t happen.”
“Next time Xiao Yun comes back, she’ll be coming as a volunteer.”
Some families, after adopting a child, would change jobs or move to a new city, all to prevent the neighbors from knowing about the child’s background and making careless remarks in front of the child.
The only person clearly expected to bring Wang Yun back was Zhang Yu.
But honestly, very few people believed this, though they wouldn’t utter unpleasant words.
Zhang Yu took Wang Yun to the hairdresser first to get her hair cut, then they went to the mall to buy clothes.
Then they went out to eat, making the weekend truly busy and hectic.
Wang Yun, watching Zhang Yu walking ahead laden with bags, felt bewildered and unsure of what to say.
As a child who had been adopted before, her previous families had also taken her clothes shopping, but they had made all the decisions without ever asking for her input.
But Zhang Yu was different; she always asked for her opinion and only bought clothes that Wang Yun agreed to.
Carrying so many clothes, Zhang Yu felt tired and wanted to rest a bit, only to realize that Wang Yun hadn’t kept up with her.
Turning back, she saw the girl a little distance away from herself, thinking she was tired, and prepared to walk back to her, but then noticed that the girl was slowly walking forward, so she stopped.
In no time, Wang Yun had reached Zhang Yu’s side, “Mom, are you tired?”
“I’m not tired, are you?” Zhang Yu asked softly.
“I’m okay.” Wang Yun thought for a moment, though Zhang Yu had mentioned that she could ask anything at any time, she wondered if it was really alright?
After thinking it over, “Mom, why did you keep asking if I liked the clothes when we were buying them earlier?”
“Do you buy them only if I like them?” She remembered one item that Zhang Yu seemed to like, but because she didn’t like it, they didn’t buy it.
Was she not tired earlier but thinking about this question instead?
“The clothes are for you to wear, of course, we need to buy what you like.”
“If you don’t like them, why buy them?” Zhang Yu understood that in the welfare home, it wasn’t as simple as choosing what you like.
Could it really be like this?
Even when her dad was still alive, it had never been like this.
She wasn’t just a child who couldn’t remember much.
But Wang Yun knew her memory was good.
Also, she was worried she might forget the days she spent with her dad, so she recalled her time with her father every day.
“Our family’s situation, while not great, is at least decent.”
“We can’t afford a lavish lifestyle, but basic needs, like food and drink, are met.”
“Alright, shall we go for barbecue or should we…?” Zhang Yu wondered what food was okay for the child.
“I, can I have fried chicken?” Wang Yun remembered a family that had adopted her before had taken her out for fried chicken.
The taste was really good, and she hadn’t had it since then because she remembered it being expensive.
Fried chicken, huh?
Although Zhang Yu wasn’t too fond of these foods, how could she refuse when her daughter liked them?
“Alright.” Zhang Yu took Wang Yun to a fried chicken restaurant and ordered two burgers, chicken wings, and similar items.
Looking at the table full of fried chicken, Wang Yun was really stunned, “Mom, isn’t this a bit too much?”
“Not at all, one cake per person, then some chicken wings, not much meat.”
“Let’s eat.” Zhang Yu motioned for Wang Yun to start eating.
Wang Yun felt that Zhang Yu was really good to her.
Ever since her dad had passed away, no one had been this kind to her.
Could this be what her dad meant before he died, saying that he would watch over her from heaven?
“Right, after we eat, let’s go back and rest, tomorrow we’ll go to pay respects to your dad.”
“Regarding the household registration, we’ll handle it after a while.” Zhang Yu wasn’t sure if Wang Yun was satisfied with her.
Otherwise, if the household registration was transferred, and they had to return to the welfare home later, it would be really troublesome.
“Okay.” Wang Yun didn’t have any issues.
“When the time comes, you’ll probably meet my family members, and they might not be polite to you.”
“Don’t bother with them.” Zhang Yu didn’t want Wang Yun to put up with them.
“If they nag in front of you, don’t be polite either, just behave normally.”
Wang Yun thought Zhang Yu would say to behave nicely to her family members, but she was instead told not to be polite, which really surprised her.
After staring for a long time, “They are my elders, what if I’m not nice to them?”
“It’s fine, they didn’t want me to adopt a child, so whether you are obedient or have a bad temper, to them, it hardly makes a difference.”
“Why then should we be nice?” Zhang Yu raised the question slightly.
As for more profound implications, Zhang Yu felt it was unnecessary to explain, as the girl might not understand.
Wang Yun’s first reaction was, “Do they want your money and your house?”
Oh, she knew?
“You know?” This child was really too sensible, wasn’t she?
Wang Yun nodded, “Yes, my dad told me that when my mom passed away, my grandmother and others came to our house causing trouble.”
Through what Wang Yun had previously mentioned, Zhang Yu knew Wang Yun’s dad was indeed a very interesting person.
Otherwise, why would he talk about things like credibility to a child that age, when kids that age are usually just learning things and playing?
Zhang Yu really wanted to know more about Wang Yun’s father, but if she asked Wang Yun, she might not know.
Moreover, asking such questions now, wouldn’t it be like tearing open wounds?
For a child who had depended on her father since childhood and lost him while still very young, how could she be okay?
“They’re scheming for my money but don’t want to take care of me.”
“They see me as a burden.”
“By the way, you have two older male cousins and one female cousin.”
“If they treat you poorly, you don’t have to be polite.”
“Can I cry?” Knowing the ages of her siblings, Wang Yun asked Zhang Yu.
“Of course, you can.” Smart child indeed — yes, Wang Yun was just a kindergarten-aged child now; if anyone bullied her, she could simply burst into tears.
Zhang Yu doubted that Zhang Guohua and the others could justify their actions if they witnessed her crying.
Claiming Zhang Yi was just a child was absolutely ludicrous.
