Just as that gossipy sister-in-law left, Ruan Yunxi happened to come out.
Gu's mother looked a little pale. Ruan Yunxi noticed and asked, "What's wrong, Mom?"
Not wanting to be laughed at, Mrs. Gu asked in a low voice, "Does the child have your surname?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Yunxi realized what it was about. She nodded readily, as there was no point in hiding anything at this point: "Little Soft Candy and Little Second have my surname Ruan, while Little Eldest has the surname Gu. My husband and I have discussed it, and he can accept it, so I'm happy too."
Mrs. Gu took a deep breath: "Why didn't you discuss this with us?"
“Mom will agree.” Ruan Yunxi didn’t say much to Gu’s mother: “If you have any opinions, talk to the child’s father. I’ll take Xiao Ruantang back to change her diaper; she peed.”
Gu's mother was put in a bad mood.
She stood outside for a while, watching Gu's father, Gu Weizhou, and Commander Sheng enjoying themselves, so she didn't want to spoil the fun.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they were all tired and went back to rest.
Only then did Mrs. Gu find an opportunity to say to Mr. Gu, "You said you had three grandsons and granddaughters, but in the end you only have one. Your son has really grown up. He didn't even consult us about such a big thing as changing the child's surname. Is he still a child of the Gu family? Does he think he's married into the family?"
When Mr. Gu heard that it was about this, he said, "You've wronged your son. He called me and I agreed."
What else?
When he called, he just wanted to let us know, saying, "My wife has three children. She's an only child. I've decided that the second and third kids will take the surname Ruan, following their mother's surname, while the eldest will take the surname Gu. We'll choose the names ourselves, so you don't need to worry about it."
Mr. Gu knew that his son hadn't come to discuss this matter.
"You... why didn't you tell me about something so important?" Mrs. Gu said angrily.
Mr. Gu rubbed his temples: "What's the use of telling you? Your grandson was born to your daughter-in-law. She's the child's mother, so she has the final say."
"Besides, does having the surname Ruan mean he's no longer a grandson of the Gu family?" Gu's father said irritably, "How come I didn't know you had such old-fashioned feudal ideas?"
“No matter what their surname is, they have the blood of the Gu family in their veins, and they also have the blood of the Ruan family. You'd better not cause trouble for your daughter-in-law, or she might hold a grudge and make your son and grandson not want to talk to you in the future.” Gu’s father saw clearly that his son’s family was not something they could interfere with.
It's not something his son can decide.
As long as the couple is doing well, Mr. Gu has no objections.
Gu's mother: "...I've already expressed my dissatisfaction, and my daughter-in-law is probably unhappy."
"You handle it yourself, I'm not getting involved. If you offend this daughter-in-law, you'll regret it later. You're so old, don't you know what's important?" Father Gu poured water to wash his face, hands, and feet before going to bed.
Gu's mother barely slept that night, secretly slapping herself as she thought about what she had said to Ruan Yunxi.
......
Ruan Yunxi didn't hide this from Gu Weizhou. After returning from Sister Sheng's house, she told him, "Your mother looks very angry and unhappy. If she causes you trouble tomorrow, you can handle it yourself. I don't want to bother."
When she's in a good mood, she's like a mother.
When things are bad, it's your mom.
Ruan Yunxi made the distinction very clearly.
Gu Weizhou could tell from this form of address that his wife was also unhappy.
Gu Weizhou nodded: "Don't worry, wife, I'll handle it."
Ruan Yunxi was satisfied and disgustedly pushed away the man who wanted to kiss her: "You smell bad. Go rinse your mouth and wash your face. I'm sleepy. Come and sleep with us!"
Gu Weizhou chuckled, then happily fetched hot water, washed up, and even soaked his feet so his wife wouldn't complain about his smelly feet.
