When this happened, Li Chu and Ding Qiunan didn't know about it at all.
Since Lou Xiao'e was in confinement at her parents' house at that time, Ding Qiunan didn't go to see her either.
Later, I counted the days and felt that I should have moved back to the courtyard, so Li Chucai and Ding Qiunan went there together to see the children.
When we got there, we found out through the third uncle that Lou Xiao'e had been staying at her parents' house and never came back, and that Xu Damao had been having a lot of trouble with the Lou family during that time.
After listening to the third uncle's account, both Li Chu and Ding Qiunan felt that the request made by the Lou family was a bit excessive.
You were married to a woman at that time, not a son-in-law. Now that you have given birth to a son, you want to take your last name. No normal man would agree.
If Xu Damao comes to visit, there will definitely be no way to go out.
"Sit down, Damao. Why did you get up and come to me today?" He said and poured a glass of water for Xu Damao.
Ding Qiunan took the children into the house to play, while Li Chu and Xu Damao were sitting in the courtyard.
"Brother Chu, you should know about our family, right?"
"I know. Some time ago, Qiu Nan wanted to go over and see the child. When we arrived at the courtyard, we found out that Xiao'e hadn't come back yet. The third uncle told us about you."
"Brother Chu, what do you think I should do?"
"Da Mao, I have never understood why your mother didn't come over to take care of the confinement at that time?" Li Chu asked the doubt in his heart.
"Well, my parents worked in their house before liberation, so they have always been reluctant to meet the Lou family."
"Then why did your mother ask someone to introduce Lou Xiao'e to you?" Li Chu felt a little strange. He couldn't save face and didn't want to meet her. Why did he let his son marry the daughter of the Lou family?
Xu Damao smiled bitterly and said, "My mother asked someone to introduce her to me. It was their family who asked someone to find my mother."
"Ah? Did their family ask someone to find it?"
"Yes, you also know the background of Xiao'e's family. My parents actually didn't agree at the time. They only let me meet because of their face. They thought I could just find a reason to refuse afterwards. I did.
After I met Xiao'e, I thought she was silly and cute, so I fell in love with her. Because of this, I even had a quarrel with my parents." Xu Damao explained to Li Chu carefully.
Only then did Li Chu understand why Xu Damao's parents never showed up.
Seeing that Li Chu didn't speak for a long time, Xu Damao asked again: "Brother Chu, what should I do about this matter this time?"
"Do your parents know about this?"
"I understand, what they mean is that even if they get divorced, they must keep the children, and they must not take their surname."
The thoughts of Xu Damao's parents are quite normal. If the child's surname was really Lou, Xu Damao would be laughed at by others.
Lou Xiao'e's father is also confused. How long have you been arguing about this? There will be no need for Xu Damao to sue you. His father will probably sue you first.
"Da Mao, what are Xiao'e thinking now?"
"Alas, Xiao'e is also in a dilemma, with me on one side and her parents on the other."
Li Chu secretly thought to himself, "This Lou Xiao'e is indeed stupid. She should stand firmly on Xu Damao's side now, get over this matter first, and then slowly figure out how to do her job as a parent. She is in a dilemma like this."
, will only make the relationship between Xu Damao and their family worse."
"Da Mao, I have an idea. You can think about it after I tell you."
"Brother Chu, tell me, brother, I am almost dying of worry these days."
"Go to your father-in-law and tell him that the child must be named Xu, but when you have a second child in the future, regardless of gender, you can have the surname Xiao'e."
"This..." Xu Damao was about to say something, but then he thought about it and felt that Li Chu's method was indeed a good one. This way, he could at least get this matter over with and avoid making a big fuss here.
"What if Xiao'e's father doesn't agree?"
"Don't agree? Then just follow what your dad said."
After listening to Li Chu's words, Xu Damao lowered his head and began to calculate carefully.
"Thank you, Brother Chu, I know what to do." After a while, Xu Damao raised his head and said.
"You're welcome, I hope I can help you. But no matter what happens in the end, I hope you don't have any bad opinions about your wife. After all, you fell in love with her just because she was stupid."
"How could it be possible? Xiao'e has already given birth to a fat son for me. It's impossible for me to have any opinion towards her. Now all these things are because of her father."
Seeing the way Xu Damao gritted his teeth when talking about Lou Xiao'e's father, Li Chu felt a sudden shock in his heart.
Mr. Lou doesn’t know how he managed to make his business so big before.
No matter what time it is now, you still look down on these workers. Didn't you just marry your daughter because of her family status?
I don’t know whether to say that Mr. Lou’s political sensitivity is high or low, and he was right to marry his daughter to a worker.
But it is too unethical to want your grandson to be named Lou. It is normal that you want a boy to inherit the family business, but you can discuss it carefully. Isn’t it humiliating for you to do this now? What normal man can
Accept it, I am not marrying into your family.
There was no other way, so Li Chu could only comfort Xu Damao and asked him to go back and discuss it with the Lou family.
The two chatted about other things, and when it got dark, Xu Damao said goodbye and left. However, it was obvious when he left that he was in a much better mood than when he came just now.
After Xu Damao left, Ding Qiunan came out of the house. Both children had fallen asleep.
"Why did Xu Damao come to see you?"
"What else can happen? It's just the question of whose surname the third uncle mentioned for the child."
People in the courtyard include He Yuzhu, who has been in conflict with Xu Damao for many years, and both feel that the Lou family is doing something wrong.
"You two have been talking here for so long, have you thought of anything?"
Li Chu told his wife his idea.
Ding Qiunan nodded after hearing this: "This is a good idea. I hope Xiao'e's family can figure it out and don't harm their daughter."
After saying that, she came over and sat on Li Chu's lap and asked, "Are boys really that important?"
"How do I know? Anyway, boys and girls are the same here. They may have a throne to inherit."
"What are you talking about?" Ding Qiunan raised his hand and patted Li Chu's chest.
"I was just joking with you at home. How could I say this outside the house?"
Ding Qiunan buried her face in her husband's arms, smelled his scent greedily, and asked in a muffled voice: "Li Chu, do you think the child is more important or me?"
"This is great. Why did you think of asking me this?"
"Oh, just answer me." Ding Qiunan raised his head and looked at his husband, twisting his body coquettishly.
"Daughter-in-law, are you kidding me? Is this comparable?"
