Zhou Meixiang felt somewhat satisfied when she saw the stunned look on Old Lady Ling's face, but her expression did not change, she still looked gentle and calm.
"Mom, this is what Hanmin and I have decided. From now on, An Yuan will have the surname Ling."
Ling Hancheng looked at Ling Hanmin in disbelief:
"You...you really decided this?"
Ling Hanmin is a son-in-law who married into the family. All children born into the family take their daughter-in-law's surname. But now the couple actually want to change Zhou Anyuan's surname.
If that's the case, then the nature of this marriage as a son-in-law is only half gone.
Ling Hanmin nodded. "It was Meixiang who came up with this. She said that no matter what the child's surname is, it's still ours. She thought it would be better to change the child's surname to mine. This would save her from having to explain it if someone asked about it when she's in school."
"Yeah, it doesn't matter what the surname is. Actually, I wasn't very insistent on it before, but my father was still alive at the time, and I really couldn't disobey his opinion," Zhou Meixiang said, "But now he's been gone for so many years, I think I should change my surname back."
Since Mrs. Ling still has a knot in her heart about the son-in-law marrying into the family, and this matter cannot be solved in any other way, the only thing that can be changed is the surname.
She also hoped that Mrs. Ling would no longer hold a grudge against her over this.
Ling Hancheng and Chu Yuefang were both very surprised. They really didn't expect Zhou Meixiang to make such a decision.
They all looked at Old Lady Ling at the same time.
Old Mrs. Ling was indeed stunned. Her distraction caused her hands' movements to lose accuracy. She finally came to her senses when she heard little Linglong's low cry of pain.
"Grandma's dear granddaughter, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, Grandma didn't mean it!"
When Mrs. Ling looked down, she realized that she had accidentally brought down a few strands of Xiao Linglong's hair.
The black hair was clearly tangled around her hands.
Xiao Linglong's hair has always been very, very good, and it rarely falls out on its own. Old Mrs. Ling and Chu Yuefang are always extra careful when combing Xiao Linglong's hair, for fear that their negligence will damage the child's beautiful hair.
But now, Old Mrs. Ling accidentally made such a mistake and could only apologize to her precious granddaughter repeatedly.
Little Linglong didn't actually feel much pain, she was just a little scared. When she heard her grandmother apologize, she quickly grabbed her grandmother's fingers with her little hand.
"Long'er is fine, she's fine~"
Only then did Old Mrs. Ling pinch her cheek to feel relieved, and then turned her head to look at Ling Hanmin and his wife.
"As for the matter of changing the surname... I think the child is still here. It's not easy to change the surname for no reason when the child is this old. It doesn't matter what the name is. There is no need to care about it." said Mrs. Ling.
Zhou Meixiang and Ling Hanmin looked at each other, and the couple saw the same surprise in each other's eyes.
Originally, Zhou Meixiang thought that as long as she said this, Mrs. Ling would be very satisfied, but now she did not expect to be rejected by Mrs. Ling.
"Mom, this is Meixiang's heart!" Ling Hanmin said hurriedly.
Old Mrs. Ling glanced at her son, then looked at Zhou Meixiang.
"It's good that you have this intention, but there's really no need to change it. The name Zhou Anyuan sounds nice too. There's really no need to make such a fuss."
Old Mrs. Ling said this directly.
