Chapter 1789 Old Thoughts
After the old man scolded, he turned around and walked back angrily.
Cheng Tianyuan was frightened and thought the old man was going to go to the front to argue, so he quickly stopped her.
"Mom! Mom! Why are you so excited suddenly? Don't be angry, don't be anxious, let's have something to discuss!"
Liu Ying found that the road ahead was blocked and was so angry that she threw the crutches in her hand around.
"What are you doing? I'm afraid I will go to the front and argue with Ling Ling, right? I'll tell you - if you don't talk about this, I'll just talk! I'll keep my word, if you don't go, I'll go!"
Cheng Tianyuan was a little confused, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Mom, why did you suddenly feel like this today?"
"I didn't think so just today." Liu Ying frowned depressedly: "I didn't agree much when you agreed to let Yangyang's surname be 'Xue'. Originally, the second child and Ling Ling's surname were 'Xue', and I was very reluctant. Unexpectedly, there was a fourth child later, saying that she was also 'Xue'. I thought that she would be a girl after all, and she would have to marry sooner or later, so that's all. I didn't say that my great-grandson also followed the second child to the surname 'Xue'. How could I arrange it today? Ling Ling is really! I don't ask you, don't ask what I think! I don't agree! I don't agree!"
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly made a booing move and whispered: "Okay, okay, if you don't agree... Ling Ling and I will discuss it again, okay?"
"Anyway, I don't agree!" Liu Ying said in a muffled voice: "No matter how you discuss, you must let your great-grandson's surname be 'Cheng'."
Cheng Tianyuan was a little annoyed and said, "Mom, don't be angry for now. I said we have to discuss it carefully. You have to give me some time. Besides, I just talked about it, but I didn't say it would definitely do what you want."
"What else can I discuss?" Liu Ying snorted coldly: "It's better to tell Ling Ling myself!"
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head firmly: "No, don't you make her embarrassed?"
"I..." Liu Ying's eyes were red again and she choked: "I won't make things difficult for me? Your father died, and our Cheng family will only have your lineage. You originally had a third son, but changed your second son's surname, but now even his child has to follow the surname "Xue" - then will he lose one lineage from now on?"
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and whispered: "Mom, why do you still have so many old thoughts from the past? What lineages are different? Even if Yangyang doesn't have the surname "Cheng", he is still my son. His children are still my grandchildren. This is a fact that can never be changed."
"I don't have the surname Cheng anymore, what's that!" Liu Ying shook his head: "I don't care. I can't let the little babies have the surname Xue. I can't agree to anything else, but I really can't agree to this!"
Cheng Tianyuan's face was low and said, "Mom, if you do this, it will definitely cause family conflicts or even family crises."
He knew that the old mother still had the traditional idea of passing on the family line of the older generation, but she never expected that she had lived in the city for decades and could not change the fixed and rigid old ideas she had before.
Xue Ling is the only daughter in the family, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law have only one daughter.
At the beginning, she tried hard to have more than three children, but she didn't want the next generation to be too thin.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law had no son, and they couldn't help but feel a little regretful. But they had grandchildren, and the lineage of the old Xue family was not broken since then. They were worthy of their ancestors and were relieved.
If the old mother came to make trouble at this time, her father-in-law and mother-in-law would inevitably be disappointed or even angry.
After all, this matter was decided at the beginning. The two children took their mother's surname and the two followed his surname "Cheng". Who knew that when they arrived at the next generation, their family came to repent!
Isn’t this going to be a mess?!
Liu Ying dodged a few times and blinked his eyes.
"I... I'm talking about the facts. Yangyang's child is our first generation great-grandchild. How can he follow the surname "Xue"? Even if he wants the surname, he must be half and half. Otherwise, the man will follow our surname Cheng, and the girl's surname is "Xue"? How about it?"
Cheng Tianyuan asked back: "Mom, do you think it's OK? Their father's surname is 'Xue' and his mother's surname is 'Wang', but there is a child's surname is 'Cheng' - isn't this a mess? Mom, since we promised Yangyang to follow the surname Xue Ling, we had to let Yangyang's child follow the surname "Xue".
"No!" Liu Ying opposed: "No, then - is there a lack of a family lineage?"
Cheng Tianyuan turned cold and said, "We have a eldest and third brothers, enough. Mom, our family was so poor at the time, how could we marry a wife? If I had made every effort to make money and not get married, or my marriage was as unfortunate as Afang, maybe our Cheng family would not have a family lineage. Mom, why don't you take a step back and think about it? What if that's the case, can you have so many grandchildren? Is it possible?"
Liu Ying was stunned.
Cheng Tianyuan sighed helplessly: "Mom, since he agreed that the second and fourth brothers followed their mother's surname "Xue", you should understand what he meant. Although the Lingling family owed our family a kindness, they had already paid it back. My father-in-law and mother-in-law never disliked our family's poverty, and were willing to marry Lingling to me, instead of seeing that our family was poor, I forced me to marry into a marriage. If I had married into the Xue family, all four children would have the surname "Xue".
Liu Ying swallowed and stammered: "Then - our family must not want it! You don't want it either, right?"
Cheng Tianyuan laughed and asked, "Mom, our family couldn't even pay a few dollars back then. My father was ill and lying on the bed for many years. Xiaofang was ignorant. I worked outside and my family was so poor. When people forced us to pay back the money, even if you kneel down, they wouldn't pay attention to you. Have you forgotten this? When people are in trouble and when their relatives are in urgent need of money for treatment, they can't care about dignity and face."
Liu Ying was stunned again. Thinking of those tragic days, tears flashed in her eyes.
Cheng Tianyuan held her hand and held it tightly.
"Mom, don't you think about it carefully? If my father-in-law and mother-in-law nodded, if our family had not married Ling Ling, our family could at most buy a house in the county town. At most, I could marry a country wife, get a salary or make a stable money. Can our family have such glory today? How many children can have such a promising future?"
Liu Ying was very hesitant and shrank his hand, but found that his son was holding it tightly.
"That... is definitely not comparable."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled softly and said, "Since you know that you can't compare, you should be grateful, and you shouldn't be greedy at this critical moment. Mom, you have been in a big city for many years. How many people have settled down here and become new residents of big cities and have almost cut off contact with the original countryside. You have seen a lot of these. We occasionally think of Chengjia Village. A few children have only been there once and have no impression of that. There is no need to wait for the next generation, and their generation has no feelings for Chengjia Village. Mom, we have to look forward to our lives."
"It's not all your fault!" Liu Ying scolded.
