Zhou Meixiang actually knew her son's personality very well, but in order to avoid the Ling family's opinions, she had to belittle him first.
At least this way, the people from the Ling family would be too embarrassed to say anything later.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Even if Ling Hancheng heard Zhou Meixiang say this, he would not say that Zhou Anyuan was a disobedient person, let alone take Zhou Meixiang's words seriously.
He just smiled casually and politely and said, "Kids are always naughty. Anyway, he's at our house, and Mom will take good care of him. It will definitely be you and Hanmin who will be in charge of educating the child in the future."
Whether Zhou Anyuan was obedient or not, or whether he was naughty and needed a lesson was not their concern.
Zhou Meixiang nodded: "Yes, that's what Second Brother said."
Ling Hancheng looked at the sky.
In the dim sky, you can faintly see the lingering red glow in the distance.
"It's getting late, and there's nothing left to do. I'll go back first."
Ling Hancheng left after he finished speaking.
Zhou Meixiang started to boil water and prepare dinner. Ling Hanmin followed her and said, "It's not like we don't know the construction team. Why do we need my mom to find them..."
Ling Hanmin knew a lot of people, so he would have no problem finding the house-building team. He also didn't know why his wife wanted to ask Ling Hancheng this.
Zhou Meixiang put the lid on the pot and glanced at Ling Hanmin.
"What do you think I am for!"
Is her purpose to ask Old Lady Ling to help find a house-building team?
Of course not.
"It's bad luck that our house collapsed, but it's also an opportunity," Zhou Meixiang pinched her waist and looked at her not-so-smart husband. "Before, we tried to get closer to Mom, but she ignored us. Now she's still taking care of us. We should take this opportunity to soften Mom's heart so that we can restore our relationship in the future!"
Ling Hanmin frowned.
"Mom has always had a bad relationship with us, and it's not because of anything else..."
It's simply because he married into the family.
Otherwise, based on Zhou Meixiang's beautiful appearance and abilities, Mrs. Ling would not dislike this daughter-in-law.
But the problem is that marrying into the family is the biggest problem.
Zhou Meixiang narrowed her eyes slightly.
"You are stupid. My father is gone now. What difference does it make whether you marry into the family or not?" Zhou Meixiang said.
Ling Hanmin muttered, "The problem is that both of those children have your family's surname..."
When getting married, whose house you live in is not the issue, and there is precedent for the man to move into the woman's house. But what is most important in the eyes of the elderly is whose surname the child will take.
Even though Ling Hanmin usually seems to be indifferent to the fact that he is marrying into the family, is it really possible that he has no feelings at all?
That is also impossible.
With five sons from my eldest brother's side who share his surname, there will be no problem for the Ling family to expand in the future.
But on his side... there are only two children, and they both have the Zhou family surname.
Ling Hanmin actually felt uncomfortable.
Zhou Meixiang also heard the implicit dissatisfaction in Ling Hanmin's words.
"Why? Do you regret marrying me?"
She kept cutting vegetables with her hands and her tone sounded very steady.
Ling Hanmin was stunned when he heard this, and quickly waved his hands and smiled apologetically:
"How is that possible? Having a wife like you is the happiest thing in my life!"
Ling Hanmin meant this sincerely.
After all, Zhou Meixiang was beautiful, and countless young men in the surrounding area liked her back then. If it weren't for the Zhou family's requirement to marry into the family, Ling Hanmin probably wouldn't have had his turn.
Ling Hanmin was about to express his true feelings when he heard Zhou Meixiang say:
"Since Mom has objections to this surname, how about changing it to An Yuan?"
