Every family has its own problems. Let the young people do whatever they want. The old lady is old, so she just needs to live happily every day.
"Grandma." Lin Yin called out.
When the old lady saw her eldest granddaughter coming, a smile finally appeared on her face.
"Yinyin, come here, grandma."
Lin Yin walked over and Wang Feng immediately gave up her seat.
The old lady grabbed Lin Yin's hand and said, "Child, what do you think we should do about this? Our Lin family's children really can't have the surname Niu! When I die, I won't be able to face your grandfather!"
The three words "marrying into the wife's family" are very taboo in rural areas.
Although they live in poverty, rural people attach great importance to surnames.
If the man is not extremely poor, he will never let his son marry into another family. It would be a shame if this got out!
Becoming a live-in son-in-law is equivalent to "marrying" into the woman's family, and any children born in the future will have to take the woman's surname.
Although the Lin family was not wealthy before, they were not so poor as to "sell" their son, and Niu Aihua was married to them in a formal ceremony.
Of course their child's surname is Lin, so why is it Niu...?!
Lin Yin knew what the old lady was thinking and patted her hands: "Grandma, is my eldest brother your grandson?"
"Of course." She did not recognize Lin Yu and his wife, but recognized her two grandsons Lin Dong and Lin Tong.
"Since my eldest brother is your grandson, are the children he fathers your great-grandsons?"
"yes!"
"That's it, isn't it? No matter what that child's last name is, he's your great-grandson. This is a fact that can never be changed. What are you worried about?"
"But..." The old lady hesitated, "This surname..."
"Grandma, no matter what surname your future nephew or niece has, they will always have Lin family blood in them. Even if their surname is Niu, the child will only call the Niu family grandma and grandpa. You will always be the child's great-grandmother."
The old lady was persuaded.
"And grandma, you've seen it too. Auntie is so unreasonable. She's just been quiet for too long, so she's always so troublesome and looks down on everyone. Even if you stepped in and solved the problem this time, she wouldn't remember your kindness. If you don't convince my eldest brother, she'll think you're useless."
“…”
When I think about it this way, it seems to be true.
"Child, what should grandma do?"
"Grandma, if it were me, I wouldn't bother with this matter. Regardless of whether the child's surname is Niu or Lin, they're still our Lin family's, and we haven't suffered any loss. So, why would you get involved so much?"
The old lady's breath that had been held in her heart was instantly relieved: "You are talking about..."
Lin Yin smiled. "The whole village knows that we've severed ties with our uncle and aunt. Even if they laugh at us in the future, it'll be our uncle and aunt. What does it have to do with us?"
Now in this family, the only one who can persuade the old lady is Lin Yin.
Seeing that the old lady had finally given up on her nitpicking, An Xin immediately spoke up, "Yin Yin is right. No matter what the child's surname is, they have to call you Grandma from now on. What does the surname have to do with it?"
"That's right!" Wang Feng echoed, "If we intervene, it'll be fine if the child has the surname Lin. But if he still has the surname Niu, Shen Hongyan will definitely put the blame on us!"
………
Chen Hongyan doesn't treat him as a human being, and doesn't treat Niu Aihua as a family member, so this time Lin Dong intends to fight to the end with Lin Yubao and his wife.
