Chapter 512 I've Thought It Through

The couple looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Nannan…”

Xu's mother wanted to say something, but when she saw the light in her daughter's eyes when she mentioned Su Min'an, the words of dissuasion stuck in her throat.

She sighed, looked at her daughter, and smiled.

"As long as you've thought it through, Mom will support you."

"Why……"

Mr. Xu's eyes widened. "How come you compromised even faster than me? What kind of bewitching potion has this kid given our daughter? It's only been a few days, and she's already lost all her principles. What will become of her in the future..."

Xu's mother frowned and winked at him, and Xu's father fell silent as he spoke.

He looked at Xu Ying and sighed deeply, "Nannan, are you really sure?"

"I've thought it through."

Xu Ying laughed, "Most of the time, I married Zheng Huaixin because I was tricked into it by his talent and sweet words. As for Su Min'an... I chose him after weighing the pros and cons. Besides, if you don't trust Su Min'an, don't you trust Li Banxia and the old man of the Li family?"

Xu's father, "..."

He pondered for a moment and nodded.

He said, "Alright, if you're going to spend the rest of your life with this person and you think it's good, then it's fine. If anything happens, your mother and I are still here, and we won't tolerate Su Min'an's insolence."

Xu Ying breathed a slight sigh of relief.

When Li Banxia found out that the two had gotten their marriage certificate and were going to register the child under their names, it was already the next day when they were registering the child's birth.

Li Banxia didn't want to lose her temper on the spot, so she glared at Su Lao Er. After all the procedures were completed, she let Aunt Qiu take the child and leave with Xu Ying first. She wanted to have a few words with Su Lao Er alone.

Xu Ying hesitated for a moment, opening her mouth as if to say something, but Su Lao Er gently shook his head to stop her.

Xu Ying glanced at Li Banxia, ​​then followed Aunt Qiu into a taxi and left.

Li Banxia pushed Su Lao Er to a small square not far away, stopped, and asked him, "Have you discussed getting your marriage certificate with Xu Ying's parents? Her parents..."

“Xu Ying went to discuss it, and her parents agreed before we got married.”

Su Lao Er pursed his lips. "I'm sorry, Mom. I should have told you. I thought that in these kinds of things, the woman would always be at a disadvantage. I was only thinking about Xu Ying's parents... Mom, don't you want me to marry Xu Ying?"

Li Banxia sighed.

“Xu Ying is a very good person, and your thoughts are not wrong. In this kind of thing, the woman is indeed at a disadvantage. It is right for you to worry that her parents will not agree, especially since getting a marriage certificate is a big deal. According to the rules, the two families should meet. Xu Ying is marrying down. You have not met each other’s parents yet but you have already gotten the certificate. I am worried that it will affect your image in her parents’ eyes.”

Su Lao Er's eyes were filled with guilt.

"It's my fault, Mom. Don't worry, I won't let Xu Ying down. I truly want to grow old with her and I'm prepared to spend my whole life with her. I'll make up for the lack of proper etiquette later and won't wrong Xu Ying."

Li Banxia glanced at him and hummed in agreement.

"You need to know your limits. If you need anything, come to me, your eldest brother, or your third brother."

Su Lao Er then smiled and nodded twice.

"Thank you, Mom."

"Let's go back."

Li Banxia pushed him to the side of the road and hailed a taxi to go home.

Su Lao Er completed the discharge procedures early in the morning, registered the child's household registration, and went straight home.

Li Banxia and Arno had already tidied up another empty courtyard, preparing everything, which was not far from the courtyard where Su Laoda and Su Laosan lived.

It's called a courtyard, but it's really just a doorway that separates the space.

The residence of Su Lao Er was separated from that of Su Lao San by only one wall.

"Second brother, please bear with it for a while. Once Mom and I have made a lot of money, we'll buy a big courtyard house, the kind with five or six courtyards. You can live on the left and I'll live on the right. We'll each have a big courtyard house, big enough for you and your sister-in-law to have as many children as you want..."

"Third Uncle, I want one too."

Le Bao'er clung to Su Laosan's legs and scurried up.

Su Laosan grabbed her by the back of her collar and casually pulled her onto his neck. Le Bao'er hugged Su Laosan's head and looked down at Su Lao Er with her big, blinking eyes.

"Second Uncle, Second Sister-in-law, should I call you Second Aunt?" Le Bao'er asked.

Su Laosan chuckled and patted Le Bao'er's little feet that were dangling against his chest. "Why are you calling her Second Sister-in-law? That's what I call her. You should call her Second Aunt. You call your Second Uncle's wife Second Aunt, but you have to call my wife Third Aunt..."

Halfway through his sentence, Su Laosan's smile froze.

Le Bao'er didn't notice and exclaimed in realization, "Second Uncle is getting married soon, Third Uncle, where's your wife?"

"...My wife?"

Su Laosan forced a smile, but it was dry. "I still don't know where my wife is. By the way, Second Brother, has the little guy been named yet? What's his name?"

He awkwardly changed the subject.

The others tacitly refrained from asking further questions. Li Banxia glanced at Su Laosan and sighed almost imperceptibly.

Mingwa looked up at him with wide eyes, puzzled, "Third Uncle, we just asked Grandma, his name is Su Jiayue, my name is Su Jiaming, Lebao'er's name is Su Jiale, Mingwa, Lebao, Great Leap Forward..."

"What Great Leap Forward and Small Leap Forward?"

Su Laosan was both amused and exasperated. "That's how your second aunt explained the origin of his name, not his nickname."

"Isn't that so?"

Mingwa's eyes widened. "The Great Leap Forward sounds so powerful. What a pity, what was his nickname?"

“Let’s call him Great Leap Forward. When he grows up, tell him that his nickname was given to him by his older brother Jiaming,” Su Lao Er said with a smile.

Mingwa's eyes widened even more, filled with undisguised surprise.

Le Bao'er exclaimed enviously, "Wow! Su Jiaming, you're so amazing! You can name the baby now..."

Mingwa blushed as her younger sister praised her, but her little chest stood up high, and her eyes shone as she looked at Su Jiayue, whom Arno was holding in his arms.

After having lunch together, Xu Ying secretly inquired about Arno and Aunt Qiu's wages, took two copies and gave them to Li Banxia, ​​asking her to pass them on, while she rushed back to work.

Aunt Qiu only accepted one copy; Li Banxia returned the other copy to Xu Ying.

The explanation given was, "Taking care of one child only requires one salary; we'll give them another one when they have their own children..."

Xu Ying accepted the money and replied with a smile.

Both sides were very open and generous, and Aunt Qiu grew to like her personality more and more.

The next day, Su Lao Er asked Su Lao San to help prepare a New Year's gift and asked Li Banxia to inform him two days in advance that he would be visiting the Xu family. The visit would take place a few days before the New Year, when all the work units were already on holiday.

Seeing that Su Lao Er was still in a wheelchair, although his face was still a little pale, he looked to be in good spirits. He looked clean and energetic. In particular, his face was exactly the same as that of Su Lao Da, but one was clearly more gentle and the other was more sharp.

Mr. Xu took a liking to his son-in-law at first sight and was extremely satisfied with his temperament.

Young people should have an unstoppable spirit.

As for your health, it'll be fine after some rest.

Both Li Banxia and the old man of the Li family are skilled at regulating health, so he is not worried at all.

Having met the eldest son of the Su family, Xu's mother thought that since the second son of the Su family looked the same, they shouldn't be too different.

But the feeling was completely different when we met.
