"How about we go stay with Momo for a while and get to know each other better?" Su's mother suggested.
Mr. Su shook his head. “It would backfire. If we go there, the child might become even more rebellious. I’ll call Xing’an.”
The third son answered the phone when he saw Su's father.
"dad"
"Xing'an, Momo just came back and talked to us. We said some inappropriate things and our actions were unintentionally unfair to the children, making them feel uncomfortable. I apologize to the children. It's also my fault; I really do prefer Tuantuan, not because his surname is Su, but because I feel he's a lot like me when I was little. If the child is under too much pressure, you don't need to worry about us. If he wants to change his surname, let him."
The third son raised an eyebrow. He didn't believe a word of what Su's father said. If Su Mo hadn't been so obsessed with the surname, would she have waited until she was so old to get married?
“Dad, you’re exaggerating. It’s just a little tantrum from a child. He’ll be fine in a few days. Su Mo is just being overly protective of the child and doesn’t know her own limits. She tells everyone everything. I’ll comfort Tuantuan. Don’t worry, Dad. I will never go back on my promise. My son is like me. We are both people who value relationships and loyalty. I’ll have a good talk with him, and he will understand.”
"What do you mean, 'My son looks like you'?" the third son thought to himself.
"Then I'll trouble you, Xing'an. Bring the children back in a few days. Your mother and I will apologize to them. They are all my grandchildren, and I love them all. Perhaps there was a problem with our approach. We will definitely be more careful."
“Dad, you should discipline them if you need to. They’re just kids making a fuss. Why apologize? Don’t spoil them. We’ll come back to see you when we have time in a few days.” It’s not right for the father-in-law and mother-in-law to apologize to the children. The third son didn’t dare to accept Su’s father’s words.
After exchanging a few more words, Su's father hung up the phone.
Su's mother asked expectantly, "Won't anything change?"
"No, Xing'an didn't mean that."
"That's good, that's good," Su's mother said, relieved.
In the afternoon, the third brother picked up the three children from school, dropped Youyou and Yuanyuan off at the tenement, and took Tuantuan out.
Yuanyuan nudged her older sister and asked, "Where did Dad take my brother? Why didn't he take us?"
"What do you mean? Try to persuade Tuantuan not to change her surname. We don't have the surname Su either, so it would be in the way if we went. That's why we're not being taken along." Youyou entered the courtyard first.
"Give me all the family property, and I'll take the surname Su. What difference does it make what surname I take?" Yuanyuan said nonchalantly, shouting, "Grandpa, Grandma, I, Hu Hansan, am back again!"
Youyou rolled her eyes. "Do you think your grandparents would want you? They have requirements for their offspring too."
“What’s wrong with me? I’m so outstanding, it’s their honor to be a descendant of the Su family,” Yuan Yuan retorted.
"Nobody wants this honor, right?" Li Mancang said irritably as he came out of Uncle Ge's house.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, I have a secret to tell you. My brother wants to take your surname, but my dad won't allow it," Yuanyuan complained as soon as she opened her mouth.
Li Mancang...
"Grandpa, it's Yuanyuan who wants the surname Su, but my maternal grandpa doesn't want it."
Li Mancang... he didn't want it either.
"Grandpa, I was enduring hardship and biding my time, my heart was with Liu Bei even while I was in Cao Cao's camp, all for the sake of expanding the territory of our Li family for generations to come!" Yuanyuan waved her little hands, her face full of ambition.
