"Recruiting a live-in son-in-law?" Lin Yongnian sneered, "Which promising man would be willing to be a live-in son-in-law?"
"Only a man with no future would become a live-in son-in-law."
When men like this walk on the street, other men will spit on them and call them losers.
Li Yunshu said, "Who says only unsuccessful men can become live-in sons-in-law? Even a great poet like Li Bai was a live-in son-in-law. How can you say his family is unsuccessful?"
Lin Yongnian stammered, unable to utter a word, "..."
He knew Li Bai. After all, he had learned a few of his poems when he was a child. He was indeed a world-famous poet.
"Don't talk nonsense..."
How could Li Bai, a great poet with such talent, become a son-in-law?
"I'm not kidding. If you don't believe me, go look for some books in the library."
As someone who had only attended a literacy class, she really didn't understand anything about Li Bai. But when she was old and watching TV with Lin Yongnian, she saw a history expert who specifically explained Li Bai's life, and she remembered it.
She remembered that Lin Yongnian, who was already a little bit demented at the time, still couldn't accept it and kept muttering, "How could such a talented person become a son-in-law?"
"In the future, I will find Xiaoyu a well-educated, good-looking, and upright young man to be her son-in-law. I will let them both be filial to me, and their grandchildren will also have my last name."
Lin Yongnian snorted and said, "What do you mean by your surname? It's my surname!"
She probably forgot that Xiaoyu's last name was Lin.
Li Yunshu looked at Lin Yongnian and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that Xiaoyu changed my last name."
Lin Yongnian was furious when he heard this. "Why did you change Xiaoyu's surname? She is my daughter and the bloodline of the Lin family."
Li Yunshu said calmly, "You said Xiaoyu is your daughter and a descendant of the Lin family. Have you ever seen her since our divorce? Have you ever paid for her tuition or even a penny of her living expenses?"
Lin Yongnian was stunned for a moment, then he said loudly, "That's what you don't want."
"But you haven't thought about giving it, right?" Li Yunshu looked at him coldly and asked.
"Have you ever taken care of Xiaoyu since she was little? Have you ever given her any pocket money? Have you ever cared about her? When you buy candy for the kids, do you ever think about buying three servings?"
"I..." Lin Yongnian was speechless. He really didn't care much about Xiaoyu, and he didn't think of Xiaoyu when he bought the candy.
"It's like you used to buy triplets of things for your kids."
She also used to prefer Guodong and Jianshe, was not nice to Xiaoyu, and often scolded her. When buying clothes and shoes, she always thought of Guodong and Jianshe first.
What qualifications does she have to question him now?
Li Yunshu said very frankly: "I didn't have any before. I was just like you, favoring boys over girls and caring more about my two sons. I also know that I'm not a good mother and I owe Xiaoyu, but wasn't I also influenced by you, Lin Yongnian?"
"That's why when I divorced, I only took Xiaoyu. I couldn't let her stay in that deformed home, be your servant, and be influenced and assimilated by you, influencing another generation."
"I want to be good to her, make up for her, give her all the motherly love I can give her, and let her become a sunny, confident, happy and blessed girl."
Xiaoyu is now more and more confident, more sunny, brave and intelligent, which shows how correct her choice is.
Lin Yongnian's eyes twitched with anger. Li Shuping made it seem like their Lin family was a den of wolves eating meat.
"No matter what, you can't let Xiaoyu change her surname to yours. That's disrespecting your ancestors."
"Of course I can." Li Yunshu said, "Xiaoyu was conceived by me for many months. I suffered all the hardships of raising her and brought her up. Now she lives with me. I support her and pay for her education. Of course I can let her change her surname to mine."
"Besides, your Lin family's ancestors didn't have anything to show for it. Xiaoyu never enjoyed any of your Lin family's ancestors' kindness. What's there to acknowledge about them?"
"You..." Lin Yongnian pointed at Li Yunshu and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
After a long while, he said, "Even if my Lin family's ancestors don't have anything to show for it, it's better than Xiaoyu having your last name and no ancestors at all, and not knowing where to kowtow to during Qingming Festival every year!"
Hearing this, Li Yunshu was stunned. Didn't Lin Jianshe tell her and Lin Guodong that she had found a home?
The fact that he could say such things clearly showed that Lin Jianshe had nothing to say.
Lin Yongnian was using the fact that she was an orphan as an excuse, but now she had found her relatives and knew who her ancestors were, so Lin Yongnian's words could no longer hurt her.
"Who's there?" Li Yunshu shrugged indifferently.
"You, you must change Xiaoyu's last name back to me!" Lin Yongnian said in a tough tone.
Li Yunshu said, "If you don't change it, Xiaoyu will have my last name from now on. You only have your two sons in your family and have never cared about Xiaoyu or taken care of her. If you ever get sick or paralyzed, go find your good sons and don't bother my Xiaoyu. You have to have some dignity as a child."
After saying that, Li Yunshu turned a corner on his bicycle and rode away for a long distance.
Lin Yongnian stood there, watching her retreating figure, his head aching with anger.
When Li Yunshu arrived outside the dumpling shop, he called Qin Ye to come out and get something.
When Qin Ye came out and saw the quilt and mattress tied to the back seat, he knew that these were bought for him.
"Mom, the quilt I have at home is still good enough to cover me. There's no need to buy me a new one."
Li Yunshu said, "The ones you have at home have been used for many years. They are no longer warm. You should buy new ones. New ones are warmer."
Qin Ye touched the soft quilt, and felt as if he was wrapped in cotton, warm and soft.
Mother moved all the things on the back of the bicycle to the backyard, and moved all the things she bought for Qin Ye into his room.
Li Yunshu asked Qin Ye to nail two nails on the wall. Li Yunshu used a rope to thread the curtains and asked him to hang them on the nails.
The length and width of this curtain are just right, and the light-blocking effect is also very good. When I take a nap during the day, I just pull the curtain and the light won't get in.
There was still time, so Li Yunshu took advantage of today to wash the suit and put it on after it was dried.
Lin Yongnian took the cold medicine the doctor gave him as soon as he got home. The medicine made him sleepy, so he asked Junjun to play with other children in the yard and not run around, and he went back to his room to sleep.
"Junjun fell like this, and he can still sleep? Is this how he takes care of children?"
"Could you please keep your voice down? My dad isn't feeling well either."
Lin Yongnian was awakened by a quarrel. He drowsily sat up on the bed with his hands, still feeling a little dizzy.
Hearing Junjun fall, he still managed to get out of bed. Just as he reached the door, he heard Zhang Jiao say, "He's not feeling well and can't look after the child, so why not bring Junjun back? He won't take care of the child if he's brought back. Look at how badly the child fell. If I hadn't come back and seen it, Junjun wouldn't have taken care of it."
"He eats and drinks for free all the time at home and can't even take care of a child. What's the point of having a grandfather like him?"
