"Name?" Li Daya blinked her big eyes, looking at Tao Ying with anticipation.

Li Daya didn't like her name because there were many other girls in the village with the names Daya, Erya, and Sanya.

Anyone who is called "Ya" is disliked by their family.

Little Li Daya didn't know why she wasn't liked; she just thought it was because her name was Daya that she wasn't liked.

And the maternal grandmother called herself "baby," which made her beloved by her second maternal uncle, youngest maternal uncle, second maternal grandfather, and second maternal grandmother.

“Yes, let’s choose a nice name. How about we take Mom’s surname?” Tao Ying gently stroked Li Daya’s thin little face with both hands.

"Mom, how about letting the baby take your surname?" Wang Chunni said to the two of them.

"Hmm?" Tao Ying and Li Daya looked at Wang Chunni at the same time.

“I’ll take my maternal grandmother’s surname. I love my maternal grandmother!” Li Daya said happily.

"Mom, look how much the baby loves you! Please give the baby a new name." Wang Chunni's eyes welled up with tears as she saw her daughter's joyful expression.

Wang Chunni felt sorry for her daughter, but she had never been favored since she was a child. She always felt that if her daughter could take her mother's surname, she would be favored even more.

It had been many years since they last met, and Wang Chunni didn't know why her mother had changed.

However, Baojun's wife is already pregnant. Regardless of whether the baby is a boy or a girl, given his mother's favoritism towards Baojun when he was young, she would definitely not dislike the child.

Wang Chunni doesn't expect her daughter to be her mother's favorite; she only hopes that her mother won't dislike her daughter and that at least the child can go to school.

“Okay, how about we name our baby Tao Chenyang? Morning sunshine, the most hopeful sunshine.” Tao Ying, unaware of Wang Chunni’s deep thoughts, looked at the little girl with tenderness.

Tao Ying had already decided on the name 'Chenyang' long ago. She hoped the little girl could be happy and that all children who are not treated kindly are as important and bright as the morning sun.

"Tao Chenyang? I have a name now, Mom, I have a name now!" Little Tao Chenyang's eyes sparkled.

I don't understand the specific meaning, but I get the gist of it, and that will make me popular with many people.

“Yes, our name is Tao Chenyang. From now on, Mom will call you Yangyang, okay?” Wang Chunni wiped away her tears and hugged Tao Chenyang tightly.

"Stop crying, let's go to the public bathhouse later. We still have a few bath tickets at home." Tao Ying also felt her eyes getting wet, and turned her head away from the mother and daughter.

"Okay." Wang Chunni had been to a public bathhouse before going to the countryside.

After being sent to the countryside, I would at most wipe myself down, and even then, my mother-in-law would scold me for wasting money.

"Chunni, how about Mom takes you and Yangyang to get haircuts, and tomorrow I'll take you to the factory to finalize your job offer?" Tao Ying asked Wang Chunni for her opinion.

"Mom, can we send Yangyang to daycare?" Wang Chunni hesitated for a moment, then bravely looked up at Tao Ying.

However, a closer look reveals the evasiveness in Wang Chunni's eyes and the way she constantly tugs at the hem of her clothes, all of which indicate her nervousness.

"Of course you can, but we'll have to wait a few days. Let's make some nice outfits for Yangyang first." Tao Ying noticed Wang Chunni's nervousness, but didn't point it out.

At that time, there weren't many options for nurseries; they were mostly affiliated with various factories.

The teachers are mostly family members, so the quality of their teaching isn't very good.

"You have new clothes too?" Tao Chenyang looked up at Tao Ying.

"Of course! Our Yangyang is so cute, of course he should dress up nicely for daycare." Tao Ying affectionately patted Tao Chenyang's little head.

As the three were talking, Tao Ying called Wang Chunni to take apart all the bedding in her room.

When Wang Chunni disassembled it, she carefully left all the threads behind.

Tao Ying saw it but didn't say anything; she took it out to wash it herself.

Soak the sheets and other items in a large basin, then take out the bag of Grand Canal brand soap powder from the corner and pour a lot into the basin.

He glanced at the washboard next to him, sighed, and started scrubbing with his hands.

I have absolutely no idea how to use a washboard.

"Mom, why don't you use a washboard?" Wang Chunni said, wanting to come over and help wash the clothes.

"You can't touch cold water like that right now, and you can't overexert yourself." Tao Ying dodged Wang Chunni's hand.

Wang Chunni is too sensible, but she doesn't care enough about her own health.

"Mom, it's okay. I got out of bed the day after giving birth to Yangyang, and nothing happened to me," Wang Chunni said nonchalantly.

"Wang Chunni, I'm your mother. As long as I'm alive, you have to listen to me. If you don't take good care of your body, you'll have to go and serve your father sooner than expected. Why should my daughter, whom I risked my life to give birth to, go and serve Wang Dazhu?" Tao Ying scolded Wang Chunni angrily.

Tao Ying's sudden outburst startled Tao Chenyang. The little girl immediately covered her head with her hands and hid on the ground, trembling as she did so.

"Yangyang, Yangyang, Grandma isn't scolding you, don't be afraid~" Tao Ying quickly picked up Tao Chenyang with heartache, her voice very gentle.

"Grandma, please don't scold Mom, okay?" Tao Chenyang hugged Tao Ying, feeling incredibly sad.

"Mom~" Tao Ying was still comforting Tao Chenyang when Wang Chunni suddenly hugged Tao Ying and cried loudly.

Tao Ying thought, "..." She was just not used to how to care for her 'daughters,' so why did they all start crying?

How should she coax her? Tao Ying panicked for a moment.

"Don't cry. Let Baomin and Baoshan wash the blankets when they come back tonight. Let's go take a shower." Tao Chenyang felt that Wang Chunni's crying got even louder.

Tao Ying was immediately overwhelmed and felt completely numb.

"I understand, Mom." Wang Chunni choked back tears, wiping them away as she hugged her daughter tightly.

Knowing that Mom was worried about me, I will definitely treat her even better in the future.

Tao Ying glanced at the mother and daughter who were still sobbing and her own clothes soaked with tears, then helplessly went inside to change. She then took a change of clothes, a basin, and toiletries and went out.

When Wang Chunni saw Tao Ying come out, she quickly grabbed their change of clothes and followed her.

This shower took a full three hours, leaving Tao Ying questioning her existence...

How could I get so dirty? I scrubbed myself three times with different bath towels. The first time, my body was covered in black streaks of mud.

The mud was produced evenly in every place.

Finally, I rubbed my whole body until it was red and I even had some bloodstains on my body before I stopped.

"Come back in a week, and bring Chun Tao too, we'll rub her with our hands," Tao Ying said to Wang Chunni as she led the two women out.

"Mom, I'm not coming. It's such a waste." Wang Chunni still felt it was a waste of money.

"Who's in charge in our family?" Tao Ying asked Wang Chunni with a stern face.

"Mom, you're in charge, you're in charge." Wang Chunni immediately backed down.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Wang Chunni cried out in alarm when she saw Tao Ying's next move.
