Chapter 237 – My Daughter Will Not Sacrifice Everything For Her Younger Brother (part 9)

After dinner, Li Su and Zhang Yao washed dishes in the kitchen.

Li Su washed the dishes. Zhang Yao moved to a small bench and stood by the sink. She used a dry towel to wipe the dishes.

Zhang Yao suddenly said, “Mum, I want to learn taekwondo. I want to be as good as mum!”

Li Su didn’t expect that Zhang Yao would suddenly ask to learn taekwondo, but it was good for girls to be able to do some martial arts. Besides, this was the first time Zhang Yao made her own request. Li Su naturally wouldn’t reject her, but she still had to ask. “You want to learn dance and taekwondo? Won’t you be too tired?”

Zhang Yao looked serious. “Mum, I’m not afraid of being tired. I want to become stronger and be as powerful as mum.”

Li Su glanced at her. “Okay, I’ll sign you up tomorrow! Since you want this, you can’t quit halfway if you feel tired!”

“Don’t worry, mum, I’m not afraid of being tired,” Zhang Yao said with a smile. “I won’t let mum waste money.”

“What are you talking about? Isn’t your mother spending money for you?” Li Su washed her hands and touched Zhang Yao’s hair. “Yao’er, in fact, your mother is very happy today that you took the initiative to ask.”

Zhang Yao was a little embarrassed. “Mum.”

“Don’t worry. Let alone learning taekwondo, whether you want to learn piano or violin, or even something else, as long as you want to learn, your mother can afford it!” Li Su laughed.

Zhang Yao shook her head. “No, I will only learn these two. The teacher said that people should not be too greedy. Mum, thank you.” Zhang Yao hugged Li Su.

After dinner, the two rested for a while. Zhang Yao began to practice body movements, and Li Su turned on the computer and began to write while reading the readers’ messages. The story had almost reached the halfway point and the plot had also entered **. There were many messages, but there were not many people who subscribed.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Some people supported the genuine version and insisted on subscribing. But there were also some people who liked to read stolen stories that cost no money.

Li Su had always ignored those who read pirated texts and spoke out boldly in their messages.

For example, one appeared today.

Li Su suddenly felt a little disappointed and didn’t have the heart to write. She simply closed the page. As a qualified online writer, one could not work behind closed doors. Of course, she supported the genuine version and paid to subscribe.

When Li Su saw a good story, she smiled. Then suddenly, the phone rang. She was a little baffled. Who would call her at this time? Moreover, there were only a few teachers who had her number. It was so late. Who could it be?

Li Su picked up the phone and saw that it was the landlord.

Were they going to raise the rent? Li Su answered the phone.

It turned out that the landlord’s son owed a debt and needed money urgently. The landlord would sell the house to repay the debt, saying that the previous rent would not be needed and would be refunded to her, but she had to move out within three days.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Li Su’s mind. Yes, how did she forget that buying a new house was complicated, but buying a second-hand house was not as bad. After she moved in, in order to create a comfortable living space, she spent money to buy a lot of things. She was reluctant to move out at this time. In addition, Yao’er was about to go to primary school. She might as well just buy the house.

Li Su made up her mind. She glanced at Zhang Yao, who was practicing on the yoga mat, and quietly entered the bedroom with her mobile phone. She closed the door and asked the landlord how much they were going to sell the house for.

As soon as the landlord heard that she wanted to buy, they quoted a reasonable price. After all, it was not good to demand an exorbitant price.

Li Su thought that the price was already very affordable. “That’s fine.”

The landlord was overjoyed and asked for cash.

Li Su said there was no problem.

The two discussed the details on the phone and agreed on a time.

Li Su put down her phone and sighed in relief. After the house was settled, the next step was to go back and change the household registration. After that, they would be able to say goodbye to the past completely.

A week later, after school, Li Su took Zhang Yao to the supermarket and bought a lot of yoghurt, snacks, fruits, and other things instead of going home.

Zhang Yao looked at Li Su. “Mum, did you get more money? Is that why you’re happy?”

“Kind of. Haha, it’s not that your mother found money, but it’s almost the same as picking up money. Mum bought a lottery ticket and won the lottery. Although it’s not much, it can be considered as a windfall. So, do you want to celebrate?!” Li Su told a white lie. In fact, she and the landlord went through the transfer procedures today. From now on, the two could live in W City. They were considered a family with a house!

“Really? That’s great, mum. Mum, I want to eat that!” Zhang Yao pointed to the row of Kinder Surprise eggs on the supermarket shelf.

“Okay, you can take a few.” Although Li Su always felt that this so-called Kinder Surprise egg was a scam for children to spend money, and that it tasted the same, but her child liked it, so she would buy it!

“Mum, I only need one.” Zhang Yao felt a little embarrassed.

But Li Su took 6 or 7 and threw them in the shopping cart. “We will buy them if you want them, but remember to brush your teeth after eating.”

“Okay, thank you, mum!” Zhang Yao smiled while holding the Kinder Surprise.

“By the way, Yao’er, next week, mother may have to go back to her hometown for some business. It will take about two or three days. Do you want to go back with mother? If so, mother will give you a few days off and we will go back together. If you don’t want to, mother will ask your neighbor, Grandma Qin to take care of you. Mother will come back as soon as possible after finishing her work.” Li Su decided to solve the household registration problem as soon as possible so it would be more convenient to go to primary school in the future.

“I’ll go back with mum!” Zhang Yao said without thinking. As long as she could be with her mother, even if she went back to that house, she was not afraid.

“Okay, then it’s settled. Mum will take leave for you and we’ll go back together.” Li Su didn’t worry about leaving Zhang Yao alone.

Half a month later, Li Su completed the relevant procedures at the police station. Next, she went back to her hometown and changed her household registration. Li Su figured that if things went well, it would take about a day. In addition to the time for the return trip, Li Su asked for a week’s leave for Zhang Yao. In their spare time, the mother and daughter could go around and play.

Li Su expected that she might meet Zhang Wei’s family on this trip to her hometown, but she didn’t expect that she would meet him on the first day of returning to her hometown.

Li Su and Zhang Yao got off the plane and took a taxi to the police station. She didn’t expect to see Zhang Wei and Father Zhang. What a coincidence.

Zhang Wei was holding the child. Father Zhang’s face turned pale with anxiety. A nanny-like woman followed behind him. The three of them flagged down a taxi by the side of the road.

There were not many taxis on the road at this time.

Li Su rolled her eyes, turned away, and turned Zhang Yao’s head as well, who was looking in that direction. They pretended to ignore them.

When they went to the police station, things went smoothly. Originally, Li Su thought about changing her daughter’s surname to Li, the same surname as herself. She didn’t expect that, when she arrived at the police station, she would learn that she could only change the surname with the consent of the other party even after they divorced. Li Su had to give up.

Li Su had some regrets, but she would not have anything to do with Zhang Wei for the trivial matter of changing her daughter’s surname. Besides, it was just a surname, and it was her daughter who couldn’t change it.

Zhang Yao glanced at the document bag in her mother’s hand. She also heard the words of her mother and the police uncle just now. To be honest, she also wanted to change her surname to her mother’s. Only, they couldn’t. Zhang Yao smiled, “Mum, where are we going to play?”

“We will find a hotel to stay first and then we can plan carefully.” Li Su smiled.

Over there, in the children’s hospital, his son had fallen asleep. Zhang Wei sighed in relief and sent Father Zhang home first. He then took a shower and looked at the empty house. Zhang Wei frowned, his son was hospitalised. Qi Ya, the mother, didn’t even show her face. He better get the nanny.

Thinking of the nanny, Zhang Wei hurried to the hospital again. He had to go back and pack some things for the nanny.

Zhang Wei hurried back to the hospital, asked the nanny to go back and clean up, and stayed behind to watch his son.

As a result, not long after sitting down, he received a phone call from a friend of his.

Zhang Wei looked at the packet of water that was hanging there, and got up and went to the corridor to answer the phone.

“Hello? Chengzi, what’s the matter?”

“I went to the police station today to do errands and saw your ex-wife and your daughter. Later, I asked about it. Guess what happened?”

When Zhang Wei heard this, he lost his mind for a moment. Who? His ex-wife, Li Su! Zhang Wei’s eyes widened immediately. “”What’s going on?”

“I spent two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes and asked about it for you. It turns out that your ex-wife came back to change her household registration. Oh, your ex-wife wanted to change your daughter’s surname! But she ended up not doing it.”

“Okay, thank you very much. I’ll invite you to dinner another day!” Zhang Wei said with a smile, but there was a storm in his heart. Moving her house and changing her surname… What exactly did Li Su, that slut, want to do?

After Zhang Wei hung up the phone, he punched the wall angrily.

At this time, the family members of other patients in the ward suddenly came out. “Hey, your child’s water is running out, hurry up and find a nurse.”

Zhang Wei was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, but at this time he couldn’t hold back his anger and hurried to the head nurse to find a nurse.

After finally waiting for the nanny to arrive, Zhang Wei told the nanny a few things and left the hospital in a hurry. He wanted to ask his friends for help to find out where Li Su and their daughter lived. He wanted to go to her and ask her what she wanted to do. Besides, Yao’er was his daughter, so why would she want to change their daughter’s surname without the father’s consent?

The nanny watched Zhang Wei just leave, and shook her head helplessly. This couple… One was busy with business, the other didn’t know what to do all day, and doesn’t even care about the child. That poor kid.

It was such a coincidence that in one night, Zhang Wei found out where Li Su and Zhang Yao were, The ** Hotel.

Zhang Wei didn’t sleep all night. His eyes were bloodshot and he was very energetic. He stayed in the lobby of the hotel, smoking one cigarette after another.

Zhang Wei had imagined countless scenarios in his mind, like what he would say and what he would do after meeting Li Su. However, he would soon understand that things would not always go as smoothly as he imagined.
