Chapter 152: Liquidation of Captain Feng
"Xia Xia, we appreciate Zhou An's kindness, but..."
Mother Xu didn't finish what she was saying, but Xu Zhixia understood what she meant.
Looking at Mr. Xu, it was obvious that he meant the same thing.
She didn't force it, said hello, and went back to the bedroom.
When the door was closed, Xu's mother couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect Zhou An to be so thoughtful."
Father Xu remained silent and did not respond to this question.
Xu's mother frowned, looked at him, and asked, "You can't really be moved, right?"
"I'm telling you this is not okay. We can't cause trouble for Xia Xia."
Father Xu sighed helplessly and put the thought that had just arisen in his mind back.
Xu Zhixia returned to the bedroom and told Zhou An about this.
Zhou An seemed to be thinking about something and did not continue the topic.
Xu Zhixia thought that the matter was over, but she didn't expect that two days later, Zhou's mother would take the initiative to find her.
"Xia Xia, Zhou An told me that he wanted to change his child's surname.
"I discussed it with Zhou An's father a few days ago, and we both agreed."
Mother Zhou said seriously, her eyes filled with seriousness.
Xu Zhixia could feel that she meant so sincerely, not just saying it superficially.
She was surprised, and at the same time, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
My chest felt bloated, as if something was about to burst out of the ground.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "Mom, there's really no need."
"No matter what the child's surname is, isn't he the child of our two families?"
Zhou's mother followed up and said, "Since you said so, why don't you change it for them?"
"This is the child you carried for ten months and gave birth to. It's normal for him to have your last name."
Xu Zhixia was at a loss for words. She wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly she remembered the look on Xu's father's face yesterday, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. She swallowed the words back.
If the Zhou family really doesn't mind, it's okay to change one of the surnames, but the question is which one to change to?
Perhaps seeing what he was thinking, Zhou's mother said generously: "We have boys and girls the same, you can change it for whoever you want."
Xu Zhixia thought about it and called both Xu's parents over. The family sat on the sofa and discussed the matter.
"Mother-in-law, there's really no need to change the child's surname. It doesn't matter whose surname he takes."
Xu's mother said helplessly, expressing her thoughts.
Zhou's mother said sincerely: "Since it's the same whether you change it or not, why not change it?
"Besides, Xia Xia gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, one of whom also has the blood of the Xu family."
Xu's mother quickly refused: "That's what I said, but..."
Seeing people being pulled apart, Xu Zhixia and Zhou An looked at each other and felt helpless.
Seeing that they had been talking for a long time without making any conclusion, Xu Zhixia simply stood up and took a step forward to interrupt the tug of war between the two.
"How about this, let's draw lots to decide."
As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned.
Is drawing lots too hasty? But... there seems to be no better way besides this.
So a few minutes later, several people sat around the table, with two crumpled little balls of paper in front of them.
Xu Zhixia said directly: "Pingping and An'an's names are written here. Dad, just draw the lot. Whoever you draw will be the one."
Father Xu was half-pushed and half-complied, looking at the two paper balls in front of him in a daze, feeling as if he were in a dream.
He took a deep breath, picked up the one on the left and opened it, and Pingping's name appeared on the note.
His pupils suddenly contracted and he refused: "No, Pingping is a boy, let An'an change his surname."
Even if we want to change the child's surname, how can we change it for the only boy?
Xu Zhixia pursed her lips. Even though she knew her father was doing it for her own good, she still felt uncomfortable.
Zhou An saw it, walked to Xu Zhixia and put his arm around her shoulders.
"Dad, it's the same for boys and girls. Since Pingping was picked, let Pingping change."
Zhou's mother said, "I think this is also good."
Mr. Xu hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing and agreed.
In fact, it is all the same to him. If he continues to care about it, it will seem that he is biased towards boys.
The two families settled this matter so easily. They didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but it caused a huge uproar on the island.
"Have you heard? The Zhou family's child, that boy, is going to take the Xu family's surname."
"You must be kidding. How can a child take the mother's surname?"
"I heard it's already registered. I can't believe it."
"It must have been Xu Zhixia's request. I always say this woman is restless."
Rumors spread all over the island, but Xu Zhixia knew nothing about it.
But even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
As long as they live a good life, they don't care what others say.
After the confinement period, Xu Zhixia also had time to deal with the matter of Captain Feng.
She wrote an anonymous letter of complaint with her left hand and mailed it directly to the mailbox on the island.
Because of her relationship with Zhao Yue, she didn't have to worry about exposing her identity.
Soon, the news of Captain Feng's extramarital affair in his military marriage spread.
It was Feng Cuihua's business not to care about it, but Captain Feng's infidelity was a violation of discipline.
The superiors soon noticed this, took the matter seriously, and held a meeting.
Zhou An was also among them, and he secretly added fuel to the fire.
When he returned home, Captain Feng was very angry.
"What does it mean now? Tell me, what does this mean?"
Bai Niannian opened her eyes wide in disbelief, fearing that his next sentence would mean that he would be forced to leave the island.
Captain Feng glared at her angrily and cursed, "Ask, ask, ask, that's all you know! How would I know?"
"They only said they would investigate, but haven't announced the results yet."
Although he said this, he knew in his heart that he was probably going to be kicked out.
A feeling of regret welled up in my heart. After all, compared with his son, his future was more important.
But... there is still a chance to make amends.
If he could reconcile with Feng Cuihua, it would mean that this was all a misunderstanding and maybe it could be resolved that way.
But the prerequisite for all this is to appease Bai Niannian first.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Bai Niannian inconspicuously.
Bai Niannian was very panicked at this time and did not notice this at all.
She paced back and forth in the small room, feeling that everything was beyond her expectations.
If Captain Feng is really going to be kicked out, then what about the baby in her belly?
If it really comes to that, we can only blame the child for not coming in time.
A hint of cruelty flashed in Bai Niannian's eyes, and a bold idea came to her mind.
Just at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, breaking the silent atmosphere.
