Chapter 3 Naming 1

Gu Yihan knew that if she wanted to live well in this family, she had to please Grandma Gu.

So she decided that from today onwards, she would smile whenever she saw Grandma Gu, to make herself feel that she and Grandma Gu were destined to be together.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, take this child to the second daughter-in-law's room and feed him some milk," Grandma Gu said. "I'll take some eggs to Old Lady Gu."

"Okay, Mother." He took the child and carried him to Zhang Cuihua's room.

"Sister-in-law, I've brought your second daughter back to you." Wang Ni looked at Zhang Cuihua, who was lying motionless on the bed.

She simply put the child on the bed, sneered, and left, acting like she was some kind of rich heiress.

Zhang Cuihua only turned to look at the child after seeing her sister-in-law leave; she disliked the child completely.

She knew her difficult childbirth had nothing to do with the child, but she just didn't like it.

Gu Yihan looked at Zhang Cuihua, whose cold and disgusted gaze taught her how to treat this nominal mother from now on.

No matter how obedient or ingratiating she was, Zhang Cuihua would never genuinely like her.

A person's aura is a mysterious thing. Some people just dislike you for no reason, and you can't break through that barrier just by being well-behaved and sensible.

Grandma Gu lives alone. Her children and husband all died on the battlefield. The town leaders take good care of her, and she still has some influence in the village.

"Is Sister-in-law Gu home?" Grandma Gu called from the yard. Grandma Gu came out of the main room with her bound feet and saw Grandma Gu, saying, "Sister-in-law is here."

Grandma Gu quickly handed her the eggs from the basket, saying, "Sister-in-law, thank you for delivering my troublesome daughter-in-law's baby. It's not a very good thing, so I brought you a few eggs. Please don't mind them."

Grandma Gu didn't stand on ceremony and readily accepted the gifts, saying, "How could I possibly complain? These are all good things."

As she spoke, she put the eggs into the kitchen, handed the empty basket to Grandma Gu, and then said with a smile, "Has your daughter-in-law named her child yet?"

Grandma Gu said with a smile, "The child's grandfather and father haven't come back for lunch yet. They haven't had time to choose a name."

Grandma Gu said happily, "How about I name the child? This child is destined to be with me. I've delivered so many children, but this is the only one who smiles when he sees me."

Grandma Gu said happily, "Why not? You are one of the few educated people in our village. It's her good fortune to have you name her."

Grandma Gu thought for a moment and said, "Let's name her Gu Yihan, which means 'content and carefree' and 'lotus blossoms in bloom,' hoping that she will grow up to be highly talented and learned."

I'm worried about not knowing how to write my child's name when registering their household registration.

He found a piece of paper, wrote the three characters "Gu Yihan" on it, folded it up, and handed it to Grandma Gu.

Grandma Gu reached out and took the paper, putting it in her pocket. She didn't open it to look at it, even if she did, she wouldn't recognize it. She just felt the name sounded nice. After saying goodbye to Grandma Gu, she went home.

Gu Yihan felt very hungry. Her mother hadn't fed her any milk at all; she was trying to starve her to death.

Although Gu Yihan had also stocked up on baby formula in her space, she could control the preparation of the formula with her consciousness.

But Gu Yihan wouldn't have it. Since Zhang Cuihua didn't want to breastfeed, the whole family had to know, right?

Soon it was afternoon. Grandma Zhang had also prepared dinner.

"Grandma, I'm hungry," Gu Hao said as he ran, followed by Gu Daya and Gu Meng.

"Come quickly if you're hungry and help me get my food. You're a bunch of debt collectors," Grandma Gu said as she walked.

Gu Hao, 10 years old, and Gu Daya, 7 years old, are the children of Gu Laoda (Gu Aiguo) and Wang Ni.

Gu Meng is 5 years old and is the child of Zhang Cuihua and Gu Lao Er Gu Aidang.

After Gu Meng was named, Zhang Cuihua, relying on her years of schooling, mocked Wang Ni, saying that Wang Ni favored boys over girls, that her son only knew how to have someone name him, and that her daughter was named Daya. This caused a rift between the two sisters-in-law.

Soon Grandpa Gu, Uncle Gu, and Gu Yihan's current father also returned, and the rest of the family came.

Grandma Gu urged everyone to eat quickly, and everyone sat down. She then began to distribute the food, giving each person who had worked in the fields three steamed buns and each child one steamed bun.

Gu Hao, holding a steamed bun, said, "Grandma, one isn't enough to fill me up. Can you give me another one?"

Grandma Gu angrily put another steamed bun into Gu Hao's hand: "You should be grateful. You can still eat your fill now. In the past, you could only eat wild vegetable soup and wild vegetable pancakes. You should be happy that you can eat whole grains and noodles now."

Gu Hao wasn't angry and happily ate his steamed bun.

"Mother, where is Cuihua?" Gu Aidang looked at his mother worriedly, thinking that Cuihua had angered his mother and was being punished by not being allowed to eat. His wife was pregnant!

Grandma Gu looked angrily at her second son, who had forgotten his mother after getting married, and said, "She gave birth. After you finish eating, kill a chicken and stew it for her to nourish her."

Gu Aidang immediately became happy: "She's born? Is it a boy or a girl? It's not time yet!"

Grandma Gu said irritably, "Girl."

Gu Aidang wasn't upset when he heard this, since he and Cuihua were still young and could have more children.

Gu Yihan felt that it was about time, and the people in the courtyard had been eating for a while, so she started to cry her heart out!

Grandma Gu and the others in the yard were startled. Grandma Gu quickly instructed her eldest daughter-in-law, "Go in and see what's going on. Why is she crying like that?"

Wang Ni had no choice but to go and check on the child. When she went inside, she found the child crying loudly with his mouth open, while his sister-in-law pretended not to hear and ignored him.

Wang Ni could only go forward and take a look, only to find that the child was still in the same spot she had put it, untouched.

Is the baby not being breastfed?

I tentatively touched the baby's bottom and it was dry. If the baby had been breastfed, surely the baby would have had a ring changed?

His eyes darted around, and he thought to himself, "You think you're so high and mighty? Let's see how I teach you a lesson."
