Chapter 855: Chapter 856: 1960s Quadrangle Courtyard 104

Zhang Yu, having made her decision, naturally informed Director Wang right away.

Director Wang hadn’t expected this and was somewhat aware of Ren Jiahao.

"How come you didn’t take a liking to him? The young man is actually quite promising." After all, he’s a university graduate and an engineer.

"He’s deemed a good son-in-law material by many." Even though Director Wang had introduced another person to Zhang Yu, she couldn’t deny his excellence.

Is Ren Jiahao excellent? Indeed, he is, being a university graduate and an engineer, but so what, "I don’t think he suits me."

"And the Ren family is too calculating."

"With my family’s current situation, who knows how many people want to pounce and take a bite."

"Although I am not afraid, I can crush them, but it really is exhausting."

"I can’t possibly be battling with the mother-in-law every day, can I? Once it gets out, do I not care about my reputation?"

"Forget it, let others enjoy such a mother-in-law."

"I’d rather lead a peaceful life."

"If the other party is really good, I believe my parents would not have objected from the start."

The original owner of the memory had no information about the Ren family, but she had met Mother Ren. Judging from her, the eye for gauging people is very calculating. Having such a mother-in-law, just forget it.

Not to mention Ren’s younger siblings, only slightly better than setbacks, upsetting to look at. Such a young uncle and aunt, whoever likes them can have them, she definitely doesn’t want.

Director Wang really didn’t know all this, originally thinking that Ren Jiahao wasn’t bad, considering if there was any suitable girl around to introduce to him.

Now it seems Ren Jiahao might not be that great after all. Forget it, she wouldn’t interfere anymore. If things really went south, it’d all be her fault.

"I’ll just mention it to him and you guys can meet," said Director Wang, patting Zhang Yu’s shoulder.

"Next, try not to be too impulsive." Director Wang knew that Zhang Yu could cause trouble, and it was also due to the leader’s orders.

But in the eyes of some, the blame was placed on Zhang Yu, gnashing their teeth in hatred.

"Just keep a low profile." Although those people now can only behave humbly, given any opportunity, they will surely strike.

Zhang Yu nodded, "I understand, I’m just a simple accountant."

Without a stormy day ahead in two years, she’d better just stay put in the Finance Department.

Seeing Zhang Yu’s composed demeanor, Director Wang was relieved and pleased.

Under the arrangements of Director Wang, a location for the meeting was quickly set.

Zhang Yu didn’t know where people of this era normally went for blind dates, but she was certain that she was the only one bringing her younger siblings along.

Zhang Li had never thought that Zhang Yu going on a blind date meant she had to go too, truly a surprise, "I’m going too?"

"Yes," Zhang Yu had already visited Zhou Zhitao, and she was probably satisfied with him.

They also knew that their situation was different from many other blind-dating men and women, for instance, they didn’t have parents. As the eldest siblings, they had to assume the responsibility of caring for their younger brothers and sisters.

Their marriage wasn’t about just their own liking, but needed the approval of their younger siblings as well.

"Okay," Zhang Li, seeing Zhang Yu’s insistence, was secretly delighted.

After the sisters arrived here, Zhou Zhitao had already brought his younger siblings to the scene, and after seeing them, he went to buy tickets first, "Let’s go in."

Not bad, pretty good, Zhang Yu thought this man was quite generous, and for a grown man to bring two children, he also took good care of them.

Their clothes were clean, even where there were patches, the sewing was quite good, it was just unclear who did the sewing.

If Zhou Min were older, Zhang Yu would think it was her doing the sewing, but right now, she is really just a little girl, how would she know these things?

Zhang Yu thought it must be Zhou Zhitao who had asked the aunties in the courtyard to help with laundering and mending, she couldn’t believe that Zhou Zhitao, such a grown man, would actually do these things himself.

The five of them strolled in the park, Zhang Li was often out playing and was fairly familiar with this park, she took the initiative to play with Zhou Jiangtao and Zhou Min.

Zhang Yu and Zhou Zhitao followed behind, watching Zhang Li running ahead, Zhou Zhitao thought of the Zhang Family’s situation.

"You take good care of your sister." Their parents died suddenly, neighbors even schemed for the house and jobs, it was hard for her to carry on, to do well at work and still manage to take care of her sister, it really wasn’t easy.

"Of course, although my parents’ death was very sudden and they didn’t have time to give any instructions, I’m sure, they definitely hoped that I would take good care of Xiao Li."

"You know the people in our compound, not scheming against you, not kicking you when you’re down, is already considered good."

"The more they scheme against us, the better we have to live."

"To defeat their calculations."

"The better we live, the more uncomfortable they feel inside, and that’s the biggest punishment for them." Zhang Yu looked at Zhou Zhitao, "What about you then?"

"If you had not come back, your future would probably have been better." Zhang Yu knew a bit about his promising military career.

When submitting his transfer report, the leadership had not failed to advise him.

The career prospects in the military, Zhou Zhitao certainly knew were very good, his colleagues of the same rank had been promoted again.

"I don’t have any regrets, my parents are gone, I’m their only support, if I didn’t come back, how would they manage to live in the Capital City."

"Although there are relatives, I can’t expect too much from them." In the beginning, they would do well, but as time goes by, they might feel that Jiangtao and the others are burdens.

"And my future, it depends on missions, you never know when I might not complete a mission and sacrifice myself, what would Little Tao and the others do then."

"It’s not like they will be completely uncared for, they could survive, but how would the siblings manage to live?"

"There are gains and losses." The current Zhou Zhitao has really come to terms with a lot.

The kids had a great time playing, and at noon he even took them out for a meal.

After saying goodbye to the three from the Zhou Family, "What do you think?" Zhang Yu thought Zhang Li would agree, as she was quite enthusiastic about Zhou Zhitao.

Zhang Li nodded continuously, "Right, I think brother-in-law is very good."

"He can cook, I heard from Xiao Min that brother-in-law’s cooking tastes good."

"Brother-in-law also does household chores, keeping the house very clean, and he can mend clothes too."

"In short, he’s really good at earning money and doing household chores." Zhang Li let out a long breath, "Sister, really, I think if you miss out on brother-in-law, whether there will be such a good opportunity again, it really is an unknown."

"That good?" Zhang Yu didn’t expect Zhang Li to rate him so highly, "It seems you are really satisfied."

"Certainly." Zhang Li said proudly, "But whether it’s really true or not, still needs to be tested a bit."

"If it really is that good, sister, you might consider it."
