“I need to start saving money,” Zhang Yu remembered that the down payment was either 20% or 30%.

As for the specifics, she really couldn’t remember, “Forget it, let’s go with 30%.”

If only 20% was needed, that would be fine, after all, it’s always better to have more money; if someone didn’t have enough, they could always borrow from their parents or siblings.

But Zhang Yu knew she would never count on that, everyone was buying houses, and it was already good enough that they didn’t turn to her for loans.

Wait, Zhang Yu remembered another substantial amount of money she had forgotten, “I still have money in my housing fund.”

“Then the interest isn’t much,” Zhang Yu’s expression changed instantly, considering such a large sum could cover part of the down payment.

“It would be great if it had a balcony,” though decorating a balcony can be expensive, it would ultimately add more space.

Zhang Yu yawned, praying incessantly in her heart, “I hope I can stay here longer.”

So she could earn more money, and when going back, who knows which subsidiary she’ll be sent to, or if they’ll just find any position for her to fill.

Zhang Yu stood up and went to the kitchen for a glass of juice, then leaned against the window, gazing at the scenery outside.

“It’s really beautiful, and it should be even livelier once I move into my new house.”

Zhang Yu yawned again, “Time to read.”

Even though she was working out of town, she had truly enjoyed these past few months, “If possible, I’d continue working here.”

Going back, she couldn’t expect a good position, so it might be better just to stick with her current company.

Zhang Yu was busy with various activities, engrossed in reading, and working out so much that she had completely forgotten they hadn’t notified her about the move.

It wasn’t until the New Year’s holidays that she remembered there was a significant issue, they hadn’t notified her at all.

Zhang Yu thought it over, wondering if they thought she was hard to deal with, and that’s why they kept her in the dark.

But then again, when work was needed, how could they possibly exclude her?

After some thought, Zhang Yu decided to ask whether they had signed the agreement.

But when she did, she found out that the agreement hadn’t even been transferred yet.

Zhang Yu was dumbfounded, not understanding the situation.

Pan Juan truly didn’t know how to explain it, nobody had expected such an issue with the relocation: “Your household registration is still at your family’s home.”

Zhang Yu responded, “Right, you’re not planning to make me transfer my household registration, are you?”

Good heavens, Zhang Yu felt too exasperated to comment, “I don’t want the house, I can sign.”

Pan Juan asked, “But if you don’t want the house, where will your household registration be then?”

Alright, Zhang Yu thought it over, that was indeed a problem.

Not to mention whether they would be happy to have her registration at Pan Juan’s new house.

In truth, Zhang Yu didn’t want to share a household registration with them either.

If it ever came to handling official business requiring the household registry, they could definitely chokehold her.

Although the original owner hadn’t encountered such a problem, that didn’t mean there wouldn’t be one this time.

Zhang Yu thought it through and decided that the safest bet was to keep her household registration in her own hands.

She wouldn’t buy a big house, but she could certainly buy a small one, such as a studio, and rent it out.

When the time came to renovate her house, she could sell it directly, or she could just continue to collect rent.

With that in mind, Zhang Yu said decidedly, “That’s how it is, then.

I’ll come back after New Year’s and buy a studio, and transfer my household registration there right away.”

The elderly couple had actually discussed whether to let Zhang Yu take the house or to move the household registration.

After thinking for a long time, they decided to let Zhang Yu make her own choice, so that she couldn’t blame them for favoritism later on.

However, Pan Juan had not expected that when Zhang Yu learned about the household registration issue, she would straightforwardly express her intention to transfer her registration elsewhere.

Pan Juan thought about it and still decided to try persuading Zhang Yu one more time, “If you transfer your household registration, you will have no share in the house.”

Was she encouraging her to take the house?

Hadn’t she previously shown as much disdain as possible?

Could it be she was thinking, if she took the house from the family’s demolition compensation, there was no need to keep the one allocated by her unit for herself, and it could be given to Zhang Guohua and others?

The more Zhang Yu thought about it, the more she felt that must be the case: “No, I’ll just buy a small studio now, it’s only around thirty to fifty thousand.

When I rent it out, I can still get four to five hundred a month.”

Zhang Yu: “In a few years, when it’s time to pay the final installment for the house, I can sell it and put together some money for the down payment.”

When Pan Juan heard this, she thoroughly understood that Zhang Guohua and the others should not expect to get Zhang Yu’s apartment.

Pan Juan sighed in her heart, “As long as you’re decided, that’s good.

Are you coming back for New Year’s Day then?”

Zhang Yu hummed in agreement, “Right, I’ll come back for New Year’s Day, go look at houses, and try to buy one during the holiday.

After the holiday, I’ll deal with the property title and then transfer my household registration.”

With this calculation, Zhang Yu felt that she might really be short on time.

After some thought, she decided to take leave anyway.

Having more time would mean not having to rush around.

As for Zhang Yu taking an extra two days off, of course, no one would disagree.

When Zhang Guohua and the others learned that Zhang Yu actually planned to buy a house and transfer her household registration, indicating she was unwilling to stay and take the house, they were all stunned.

Zhang Guohua looked at Pan Juan incredulously, “Is Little Yu really planning to buy a house?”

He very much wanted to take over Zhang Yu’s share of the house, but he knew neither Zhang Shouhua and his wife nor Zhang Hong and her husband would agree, so he could only reluctantly suggest dividing the house among the three families.

Of course, this was contingent on Zhang Yu being willing to claim the demolition house, which would then allow them to proceed with the plan.

But to their surprise, Zhang Yu had given up, leaving them unsure of what to do.

Wait, that’s not right.

Zhang Hong was very surprised, “Wasn’t Little Yu going to secure an apartment through her work this year, needing a substantial sum of money?”

“If she buys a house now, what about the money she already has?” Zhang Hong’s breathing quickened, thinking that if that was the case, the girl must have saved quite a lot of money in the past.

Chiang Yun thought, if Zhang Yu bought a house and once this place gets demolished, the old couple wouldn’t need to rent anymore; they could just live in the house under Zhang Yu’s name.

With this realization, she felt thrilled at the prospect of saving a significant amount of money.

Chiang Yun looked up at Zhang Guohua, believing he should understand her point.

Zhang Guohua had also thought of this possibility.

If Zhang Yu bought a house, it would be normal for Zhang Dagu and his wife to move in, as leaving the house empty would be a waste.

Zhang Hong felt a pang of jealousy, not having expected Zhang Yu to be buying another house.

She had been married for so many years without buying a house, still living in the one provided by her employer.

Zhang Hong held her cup, lost in thought, and remembered the day she said Zhang Yu would not amount to much, she recalled Liu Hui’s indifferent expression.

Indeed, were the words of a fortune-teller really so accurate?

“She’s just buying a studio, thirty to fifty thousand.” Pan Juan stated indifferently, implying Zhang Yu was buying just a small room.

“Ah,” Chiang Yun was surprised, “She’s buying such a small house?”

Even Du Xia was a bit disappointed, considering giving up a two-bedroom would save seven or eight hundred, it made sense to save one or two wherever possible.

“It’s just to secure a household registration, and she intends to rent it out after buying it.”

Watching everyone calculating with various expressions, Pan Juan sighed inwardly.
