After hearing this, Liu Ying's expression changed, and she rubbed her crutch and turned away.
Xue Ling was busy thinking of a name for the child, but he didn't realize that the old man's expression had already changed.
Xue’s mother didn’t notice it either, so she thought to herself, “I don’t know if I can still name it with a single word.
You think of a few words quickly, and when Yangyang and his wife come back, you can discuss it with them.
They are the parents, and it is up to them to make the decision."
"That is."
Xue Ling nodded: "I'm just making a suggestion, the choice must be made by their parents."
Mother Xue looked at the sleeping little one and urged: "Take her back to the room to sleep.
The autumn wind has begun to blow outside, but don’t go out."
"knew."
Xue Ling complied.
Liu Yingze stood up thoughtfully and walked toward the gate with a cane.
Xue's mother thought she was going for a walk and shouted: "Sister Ying, do you want me to accompany you?"
"no, I'm fine."
Liu Ying absentmindedly whispered: "I'm going to wait outside for A Yuan and walk around."
The old man waited beside the garage for more than half an hour before Cheng Tianyuan's luxury car arrived.
"Mom, why are you standing at the garage door?"
Cheng Tianyuan slammed the car door and asked doubtfully: "Who are you waiting for?"
Liu Ying frowned and lowered her voice: "Waiting for you."
Seeing her worried look, Cheng Tianyuan ignored her briefcase and hurriedly stepped forward holding the keys.
"Mom, what are you waiting for me to do?
Come on, let’s go back to the living room and talk.”
Liu Ying was startled and hurriedly stopped.
"Don't...you can't go over there and say it.
Ayuan, let’s just talk about it, don’t let anyone else know.”
Cheng Tianyuan asked funnyly: "What's wrong?
Still mysterious?
Mom, why do you look so worried?"
"Do not laugh."
Liu Ying glared at him and whispered: "I want to ask you something very important.
You have to answer me properly."
Cheng Tianyuan didn't dare to laugh and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, mom, tell me."
Liu Ying turned her head and looked around a few times before lowering her voice and asking: "Do Yangyang's two children also have the surname Xue?
Isn’t that right?”
Cheng Tianyuan was slightly stunned and suddenly guessed the purpose of the old man's question.
"Mom, Yangyang's surname is Xue, so naturally his child should also be surnamed Xue."
When Liu Ying heard this, her expression became even worse.
"Why is your surname still Xue?
When he was born, he agreed to take Lingling's surname as 'Xue', but he didn't say at all that his child would have to take the surname of 'Xue', right?"
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled helplessly: "Mom, Xue Yang's surname is 'Xue'. This was agreed upon at the beginning.
He had just been born at that time, so there was no way we could talk about such long-term things."
"It's enough that his surname is Xue."
Liu Ying hesitated: "In the future, my grandson will have to take your surname...Cheng.
They are all descendants of our old Cheng family, this is a fact!"
Cheng Tianyuan was slightly embarrassed and whispered: "Mom, these have already been agreed upon, how can you change your mind now?
We have Ran Ran and Lao San, and their children will all be named Cheng from now on.
The fourth child’s surname is Xue, but if she gets married, her children will not be able to take her surname.
In the Lingling family, Xue Yang’s only surname is ‘Xue’, how can we let them have the surname ‘Cheng’ again?”
"Why can't you?"
Liu Ying's eyes were red and she whispered: "The second brother's surname was 'Xue', but I was not very willing to do it at first.
Your dad was still there at the time, and he nodded his head and agreed. I also felt sorry for Ling Ling who had worked so hard. She was the only daughter in her family, so she didn't dare to say she didn't agree, so she had no choice but to agree in the end.
I only agreed to give Yang Yang the surname Xue, but I didn’t promise that my grandson would also have the same surname for the rest of his life!"
"Mom, you can't say that."
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head helplessly and lowered his voice: "Yangyang's surname is 'Xue', and his children will naturally also have the surname 'Xue'.
She is the only daughter in Lingling's family. If we don't agree that Yangyang's child will take his surname, then there will be no heirs in Lingling's family.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law have been so kind to us. They are still alive, how can I say such a thing."
Liu Ying burst into tears and explained: "I didn't say that far back at first, I just said Yangyang.
how?
If this is the case, wouldn’t our family be missing another lineage?”
"Nothing less."
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and said: "Yangyang is also our child, so we can't say that.
Mom, I am the only male in our family, and I will have two children to succeed me, which can be considered as a branch of my family."
Liu Ying became angry unknowingly and said harshly: "It's all your dad's fault! When I told him that I couldn't agree, he didn't listen! Even if he didn't mention it, the old Xue family wouldn't dare to take the initiative to make such a request!"
"What are you talking about!"
Cheng Tianyuan quickly made a shushing gesture and whispered: "Mom, you can't be too excited, and don't be angry."
Liu Ying poked her crutch and said: "How can I not be angry! This is our family's great-grandchild, the first great-grandchild - but he has to follow Lingling's surname of 'Xue'?
!How can it be done!”
Cheng Tianyuan was a little irritated and advised: "Mom, we shouldn't be too greedy in life and work.
Since it was agreed upon at the beginning, then it should be carried out as promised.
Now that I have changed my mind at the last minute, how can I open my mouth?"
"If you can't speak, then I'll go."
Liu Ying said angrily: "I told Lingling directly that Yangyang can share their surname, but the great-grandchildren can't! I'm not greedy, they are!"
"no!"
Cheng Tianyuan refused without thinking, holding the old man's hand and saying, "Mom, don't be angry, and don't speak impulsively."
If you mention this now, wouldn't it go straight to the heart of your father-in-law and mother-in-law?
Not only the father-in-law and mother-in-law, but also Lingling will be very sad.
"Mom, you shouldn't be so greedy."
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and advised: "I am the only male in this generation in the family. It is good enough that I can have the eldest and third eldest son to pass on the 'Cheng' surname.
They would later have two or three children, and together we would have four or five children, our lineage would soon flourish.
Besides, we haven’t returned to Chengjia Village for so many years, so some backward old ideas should be abandoned as soon as they should be abandoned, and we shouldn’t always keep them in mind.
Why does the old traditional thing cost so much?
It's important to live a good life, it doesn't matter what your last name is.
You should enjoy your old age and mind your own business."
"What?"
Liu Ying was really angry now and shouted angrily: "Is this called nosy?
This is a big deal for our old Cheng family! Doesn’t it matter what your last name is?
!What are you talking about?
!Are you crazy?
!”
Cheng Tianyuan was startled and quickly changed his words: "Mom, I didn't mean that. Don't get me wrong."
"I don't misunderstand!"
Liu Ying hit his leg with a cane and said harshly: "What nonsense are you talking about! Listen to it yourself! Listen to it yourself! I don't care, I don't agree with it anyway! You can't do this!"
Cheng Tianyuan didn't dare to hide, he stood upright and kept coaxing: "Okay, okay, okay, don't get excited after the beating. If you want to be beaten or scolded, it's up to you.
Mom, is that okay?
Stop fighting, right?
If we have something to say, let’s talk it over.”
"I've said everything!"
Liu Ying shouted angrily: "Did you hear that?
!Why don’t you listen?
!I'm warning you! I can agree with everything else, but not this one!"
