Chapter 396: Dowry - The Sick Young Auntie's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

"Why are you looking for me again?" Deputy Director Zhang said with a frown as he looked at Zhang Mengyun who broke into his office.

"Dad, the house that the logistics department assigned to us is too small and cramped. Can we change it?"

"Nonsense, can this house be changed just like that? You are not satisfied with just being able to get a house, while others can't even get one!" Although the size of the house was indeed the smallest one he had specifically requested.

Zhang Mengyun pouted with dissatisfaction on her face, "The house is so small, and there is only one room..."

Deputy Director Zhang's face turned cold. "If you really don't want this house, you can go to the logistics department and cancel your application."

Zhang Mengyun stopped complaining for a moment. She didn't dare to say anything else. She grumbled a few words, and when she saw her father's impatient expression, she immediately ran away.

That’s right, the new residents assigned to Lin Qing’s compound are Zhang Mengyun and Jin Jianhua.

It was Zhang Mengyun who fought hard to get this house.

Deputy Director Zhang initially wanted Zhang Mengyun to go to the Jin family to experience the poor life, but Zhang Mengyun was unwilling!

She had lived in poverty for more than ten years. How could she be willing to squeeze into the small two-room apartment of the Jin family?

Zhang Mengyun, under the principle of "I'll make trouble if you don't agree", started making trouble directly in Deputy Director Zhang's office. Deputy Director Zhang had no choice but to back down.

They agreed to apply for a house for them, but Deputy Director Zhang still didn't want them to live too comfortably, so he asked the logistics department to give them the smallest room, which was the one in Lin Qing's yard.

I have to say, fate is such a coincidence.

The next day, Lin Qing and his friends were having a weekend break, so there were many people in the courtyard and it was quite lively.

Lin Qing got up, had breakfast, and after taking his medicine, he chatted with Lin's mother, Aunt Li, and Aunt Sui in the kitchen and living room.

Just talking about the young couple who came to see the house before, Aunt Li said with some worry: "I don't know if the young couple will move in?"

Yesterday, when they came to look at the house, Aunt Li accompanied them all the way. After all, she is the aunt from the management office. When a new person comes, the street office will say hello to her no matter what.

Yesterday, the young couple didn't seem to get along well. She became very worried when she thought of this. There wasn't much in this courtyard except for the dragon and the phoenix. Now another one was about to come. She felt very worried!

"Oh, looking at the attitude of the lady who was looking at the house yesterday, maybe she really has the ability to change houses and may not necessarily move in." Aunt Sui saw it very clearly yesterday.

Lin's mother and Lin Qing, mother and daughter, didn't have any ideas. They got along well with some of the other people in the yard and not so well. If it was difficult to get along with the newcomer, they would just stay away from him!

Lin's mother thought so, and said, "If we really can't get along, can't we just stay away from each other?"

Aunt Sui laughed, "We can stay away! But Old Li, the one who manages the academy, can't!"

"Hahaha!" Lin's mother and Lin Qing laughed.

Indeed! As the director of the academy, Aunt Li must deal with them and cannot shirk her responsibilities.

"Stop talking. I'm almost dying of worry. To be honest, sometimes I really don't want to be the director of the school." Aunt Li said so, but she was unwilling to give up the position of director of the school.

Aunt Sui and Mother Lin also knew this, so they did not agree with her.

…

Aunt Li's wish was ultimately unfulfilled, and Zhang Mengyun and Jin Jianhua were still able to live there.

Last night, Zhang Mengyun and Jin Jianhua still lived in their respective homes. Jin Jianhua wanted to come over, but Deputy Director Zhang would definitely not agree, so he did not continue to test the bottom line and lived back in his own home.

Zhang Mengyun didn't want to live in the Jin family, and the big courtyard was not cleaned up yet, so she had to go back to the Zhang family.

"Why are you back?" Deputy Director Zhang asked as soon as he saw Zhang Mengyun as soon as he got home.

Zhang Mengyun's face suddenly became very ugly.

Deputy Director Zhang's wife was a little surprised and looked at her husband, "What are you talking about? Where else can Yunyun go if she doesn't go home?"

"Where else can she go? Of course she should go to her husband's house. She is already married, how can she still live in her parents' house like before?"

Deputy Director Zhang's wife's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at Zhang Mengyun in disbelief, "What did you say? Married, Yunyun, when did you get married?"

"Yunyun?"

Zhang Mengyun didn't think there was anything wrong with getting married. She said with her neck stiff, "I just got married."

Deputy Director Zhang's wife was nearly irritated to death. Although this daughter who had just been found was not that close to her, she was still her own daughter, a piece of her flesh and blood. She got married so quietly. She felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't calm down.

"Okay, now that you're married, you should move out as soon as possible. This house is also given to you, so don't stay at home any longer."

"Hmph! I knew you had no feelings for me at all and didn't want to be nice to me. Why did you ask me to come back in the first place?" Zhang Mengyun said without thinking.

Deputy Director Zhang's wife was gasping for breath in anger.

Deputy Director Zhang quickly supported her and said to Zhang Mengyun, "Think whatever you want!"

"Humph! You can leave if you want me to! Where's my dowry? I'm getting married, so you should at least give me dowry, right?"

Deputy Director Zhang just wanted to make her suffer enough, so how could he give her extra money?

"The dowry is that house. Hasn't it been given to you?" Deputy Director Zhang said directly.

"The house was allocated by the factory. The dowry I mentioned is something you guys wanted to give me separately. How could it be the same thing?"

"I spent two hundred yuan to get your house, so how come it's not considered a dowry?"

Zhang Mengyun widened his eyes in anger and wanted to say, what's the matter?

Anyway, Deputy Director Zhang doesn't care, this is what he plans to do.

His wife softened her heart a little and wanted to give Zhang Mengyun some extra money. She still felt a little guilty towards this young lady whom she had just found.

However, as soon as he noticed that his wife had this idea, he immediately asked Deputy Director Zhang to stop her.

Although Deputy Director Zhang's wife didn't understand, she took his hint and didn't say anything.

Zhang Mengyun was so angry that she went back to her room.

Deputy Director Zhang also said, "Remember to move out early."

"Humph!" Zhang Mengyun became even angrier.

Several daughters-in-law of the Zhang family were sitting in the living room. They didn't dare to say a word at this moment and just wanted to act as invisible people.

Given the atmosphere just now, they didn't have the courage to speak; it was too depressing.
