Chapter 38 Changing Name and Surname

Su Dai hugged Qin Shi's neck tightly; she didn't want to go back to that place that caused her so much pain.

Qin was heartbroken. With tears in her eyes, she comforted Su Dai, "Don't be afraid, my dear. I won't let you leave. You are my precious child, not a burden."

Qin was initially somewhat skeptical, but from the moment she held Su Dai in her arms, she made up her mind. She could raise the child well, her cooking was delicious, and she could go into business selling food.

Even if her daughter needs expensive medicine that costs a lot of money, she will work hard to earn it. She doesn't need to rely on anyone to raise her daughter well.

Madam Qin looked at Su Chang'an and said firmly, "You don't need to worry. I will raise my daughter well for the rest of my life. Please leave."

Su Chang'an didn't expect Qin Shi to refuse. He said in a deep voice, "How will you support her? Can that thousand taels last you for several years? Su Dai needs nearly a hundred taels a month for medicine. She even fainted from suffocation while lying on the horse today. Her body is already so weak. Is this what you mean by being able to support her?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? If you hadn't been holding Su Bao down, would she have been so angry? Su Bao was perfectly fine at my house, but you almost killed her the moment you arrived. You're like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—you're up to no good. You say you'll be good to Su Bao? Even God would be furious if he heard that!"

Qin Yulin was furious and spoke up, not caring about Su Chang'an's identity.

Even if he is the Marquis of Anping, he cannot kill people at will!

He abandoned his wife and daughter, and he also regretted his decision and came to take the children back. He's a man who changes his mind again and again. He used to think the children were a burden, but suddenly he had a change of heart and came to take them back. How could he have any good intentions?

“Go back to where you came from. Su Bao is a member of the Qin family. We will support her even if we have to sell our pots and pans. We don’t need your fake compassion.”

Qin Yulin stared at Su Chang'an and said coldly.

My sister's child is their child too. We can just do more work; there's always a way.

"you……"

Su Chang'an was surprised that the Qin family would accept Qin Shi so readily. Qin Shi felt more confident and no longer looked at him with fear. Su Dai ignored him completely, and Su Chang'an felt like he was about to explode with anger.

He looked at Su Dai and said again, "My dear, come back with Daddy. Your surname is Su, not Qin."

"Changing the surname isn't necessarily a bad thing. Thank you for the reminder, Lord Marquis. The divorce papers are finalized, and it's indeed not reasonable for Su Bao to have the surname Su."

Qin Tianhai spoke calmly. He hadn't originally considered changing the surname, since he didn't think Su Dai's surname mattered. But since the Su family insisted on this matter, then so be it.

Su Chang'an's forehead veins bulged: "Elder Qin, Su Dai is my daughter."

Qin Tianhai looked at Su Chang'an and felt that his appearance was unpleasant no matter how he looked at him; he seemed hypocritical and had a hostile aura.

Qin Tianhai cupped his hands and said, "It is the daughter that the Marquis no longer wants. This matter has already been brought to court. The Marquis should abide by the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty and set an example."

"Please leave my house."

Qin hugged Su Dai tightly and chased the people away again.

Su Chang'an looked at Qin Shi, his eyes narrowed and a ruthless look appeared. He said, "Qin Yuwan, you will regret this."

I regret today's decision, I regret being his enemy.

Su Chang'an gritted his teeth, turned around and left.

He's rich and powerful now, so he doesn't need to say nice things to these people. He has countless ways to make them know the consequences of offending him.

Su Dai turned her head and frowned.

"What's wrong, sweetie?"

Qin felt a pang of pain in her heart, thinking that Su Dai was reluctant to part with her own father.

Su Dai pointed at Su Chang'an's horse and whispered, "The horse says it's in pain."

She wouldn't have any lingering feelings for her scumbag father; she only pities that horse.

Its foot was injured, and it kept saying, "Master, it hurts so much."

But Su Chang'an couldn't understand. He could only mount his horse and whip it to make it run.

He was not a good father, much less a good master.

Seeing the reluctance in Su Dai's eyes, Qin put Su Dai down and chased after her.

"Wait a minute."

Qin called out.

Su Chang'an tightened the whip and turned around. He looked at Qin Shi with arrogance, knowing that she would change her mind.

"You're right to change your mind now, after all..."

Su Chang'an looked down at Qin Shi, but before he could finish speaking, Qin Shi frowned and interrupted him.

“I won’t change my mind. I’m here to remind you to do more good deeds. Your horse has fought countless battles with you. Although it’s an animal and can’t speak, you should have some conscience. Your horse is sick.”

Qin was somewhat moved as she looked at the horse. It was chosen by Su Dai when she was only one year old.

Su Chang'an's face darkened upon hearing Qin's words. He snorted coldly and left immediately.

Seeing his appearance and noticing the horse's obvious limp as it ran, Qin could only sigh.

How could Marquis Anping, who had been fighting for several years, not sense it?

He didn't care; in his view, if one horse was lost, he could just replace it.

Just like her, his wife who had shared hardship with him, she was useless and got in his way, so he ruthlessly abandoned her.

Qin turned and went home.

Back home, Qin looked at Su Dai and smiled helplessly.

Su Dai ran to Qin Shi's side, took her hand, and said, "It's alright, Mother did her best, the horse understands."

The bad one is the scumbag father; her mother doesn't need to feel any pressure.

Qin touched Su Dai's hair.

"Little sister, you should take Su Bao to town to see a doctor. She's not feeling well and just fainted again."

Qin Yulin said with concern.

Madam Qin looked at Su Dai. There would be many places where money would be needed in the future, but she was indeed worried.

"Take your younger sister and Su Bao there, and you can also find out if something's wrong with the Su family. Why would they come to snatch the child out of nowhere?"

Qin Tianhai made the arrangements directly.

Qin Yulin nodded.

Qin Tianhai looked at Su Dai, thought for a moment, walked over, squatted down, and said earnestly, "Su Bao, how about Grandpa changes your name?"

Su Dai is very sensible, and Qin Tianhai was afraid that changing her name rashly would upset her. He knew that such an obedient child must have a strong sense of self, so he asked for her opinion.

Qin looked at Su Dai with some nervousness. Would Su Dai be willing?

Su Dai smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, can I think of a name myself?"

When she was the Koi Princess in the divine realm, she had a name.

She simply accepted the name given to her by the Su family after becoming Qin's child. She would be overjoyed if she had the chance to change her name.

"What does Su Bao want to be called?"

Qin Tianhai asked with a smile. He knew Su Dai was a child with her own ideas. As long as it wasn't something like "tree" or "grass," he would let her do whatever she wanted.

"Jin'an, I want to be called Jin'an, Qin Jin'an, may you have fine clothes, delicious food, good health and peace."

Su Dai's eyes lit up. Her real name was Jin'an. She was born into the Qin family, so she was happy to have the surname Qin.

"Jin'an, okay, from now on you will be called Jin'an, and your nickname will be Yu Bao."

Qin Tianhai stroked his beard and smiled, saying that the name sounded nice, and he also gave Su Dai a nickname.

"Dad, why do we call him Fish Treasure?"

Qin Yulin asked, puzzled.
