This matter was not discussed with Su Changjiu by Li Yuling, but she felt her husband would definitely agree.
As expected, after telling Su Changjiu about it, he agreed after a moment's consideration.
"Sister-in-law Xie, what name should we give Xiao Cao? You're a teacher, so this matter requires your effort!"
"Before, I did give her a name, Yan Yi."
Even though their daughter had been missing since birth, Teacher Xie Nan had still given the little person a very literary name.
"Then let's call her Yan Yi, it sounds nice. You're a cultured person!"
Li Yuling directly settled on the name.
Su Xiao Cao, however, felt that while the name sounded good, it felt a bit strange.
Perhaps it was because she had been accustomed to being called Xiao Cao since childhood. Suddenly having a name that sounded so cultured made her feel a little unaccustomed.
"From now on, Su Xiao Cao will be renamed Xie Yan Yi," Su Changjiu also expressed his approval.
Although Teacher Xie Nan had never mentioned who Xiao Cao's biological father was, he could guess that it was someone Teacher Xie Nan didn't want to bring up.
In that case, Xiao Cao should take her mother's surname.
"But, Dad, Mom, I..."
Su Xiao Cao, or rather Xie Yan Yi, wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Su Changjiu.
"Cao'er, there's no 'but.' If you don't find the name Xiao Cao unpleasant, you can keep it as your nickname."
Actually, Su Changjiu was just saying it casually. His daughter was already so old, could she still have a nickname?
Su Xiao Cao wanted to say that it wasn't about the name, but rather that changing her name made her feel like she wasn't her parents' daughter anymore.
Su Changjiu happily interrupted Su Xiao Cao's words.
"Even if you change your name, you are still Su Changjiu's daughter."
Changing her name meant her parents were still her parents, but she wouldn't be Tian Xiao He's sister-in-law anymore.
This was unavoidable. Who told them to find such a troublesome person when looking for a daughter-in-law?
"I'll get you the certificate to change your name tomorrow."
Due to some reasons, Su Xiao Cao's household registration had not yet been moved to Beijing. She had originally planned to move her registration along with her marriage this time, but now, the name change was included as well.
Fortunately, Xiao Cao and Su Sangong were only holding their wedding ceremony when they returned to their hometown this time. Due to Su Sangong's household registration, they would obtain their marriage certificate after returning to Beijing.
Su Xiao Cao changing her name would not cause any problems.
When the old Su family received the news that Su Xiao Cao was going to change her name, they were quite surprised.
But in almost an instant, the Su family understood Su Changjiu and Li Yuling's intentions.
Grandpa Su sighed, "It's not easy for Changjiu and his wife, even changing her name. From now on, she'll truly be someone else's child."
Grandma Su glared at Grandpa Su and said, "How can you say that? I think Xiao Cao is very filial. Even if she changes her name, she won't be unfilial to Changjiu and his wife in the future."
Grandpa Su nodded, "Perhaps I was being too narrow-minded. It's still you, old woman, who thinks more clearly."
Xiao Cao is naturally a good child, otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed to let San Gong be with Xiao Cao.
He observed that Changjiu's two sons might not be reliable, but Xiao Cao might be able to support Changjiu and his wife in their old age.
Regarding this matter, Grandpa Su felt he needed to talk to Su Sangong later.
Xiao Cao should support her parents, and his son couldn't object to that.
Changjiu and his wife raised Xiao Cao when she was young, so it was only right for Xiao Cao to support them in their old age.
As the saying goes, the grace of birth is not as great as the grace of upbringing.
It wasn't easy for Changjiu and his wife to raise a little girl with whom they had no blood relation during such difficult times.
This kindness was deeper than the sea!
As for Tian Xiao He, she hadn't gained any advantage and was beaten by Zhang Caiyun, and then disciplined by her mother-in-law. She couldn't swallow her anger.
Su Ping An, seeing his wife like this, didn't dare to say much, and could only quietly agree with Tian Xiao He's sentiments.
Since her husband was agreeing with her, Tian Xiao He felt even more justified.
"No, the necklace must be mine. I've never worn jewelry in my life!"
Tian Xiao He clenched her fists, thinking about how to get her hands on the items.
Since she couldn't get it before Su Xiao Cao's wedding, she would wait. She would wait until Su Xiao Cao got married.
Her idea was quite simple. Her in-laws valued face. If she caused a scene before the wedding, they probably wouldn't give her face.
But not causing a scene before the wedding didn't mean she couldn't cause one after the wedding.
Anyway, Su Xiao Cao was a girl without her own opinions.
After she got married, when she had the proper respect, she would go find Su Xiao Cao and directly demand all the gold and silver jewelry.
Tian Xiao He never considered the possibility that Su Xiao Cao might refuse.
As long as Su Xiao Cao showed the slightest intention of not giving it, she would make a scene.
She might not be good at anything else, but the skill of crying, making a fuss, and threatening to hang herself was something Tian Xiao He excelled at.
Then she would make the household a mess, and Su Xiao Cao would have no choice but to give her the items.
She didn't believe that a newly married young wife would let her in-laws mock her for a little bit of wealth.
It must be said, Tian Xiao He's plan was very good.
However, there's a saying that plans can't keep up with changes, and she, not having read books, didn't know it.
That evening, Chen Zi An and his wife finally brought young Chen Xiuyuan to Nanling Village.
Chen Zi An had no parents, so he treated the Su elders as his own parents with filial piety.
Whenever the Su family had something going on, unless he was too busy to come, he would definitely rush over if he had the time.
This time was no exception.
Grandma Su looked at the three tired faces and repeatedly said, "If you're too busy, don't come. I know your work isn't easy!"
"Mom, San Gong's wedding is such a big event, how could I not come?" Chen Zi An said with a smile to his mother-in-law, "Besides, Xiu'er misses you, Dad, and your brothers and sisters-in-law too."
"I miss Grandma and Grandpa too!" Young Chen Xiuyuan, not to be outdone, expressed his longing.
"You're everywhere!" Chen Zi An glared at the bratty kid.
Chen Xiuyuan didn't pay any mind to his father's displeasure. He affectionately hugged Grandma Su to curry favor.
Grandma Su, seeing her grandson so cute, had her heart melt. She happily hugged her grandson with such affection.
Su Man Xiu, seeing her son like this and Chen Zi An's slightly dark face, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Over the years, Chen Zi An had often lamented why he didn't have a daughter, and instead had such a troublesome son.
He was like a debt collector.
But in reality, Su Man Xiu knew that Chen Zi An was quite satisfied with having a son. No matter how much he liked daughters, many people ultimately felt that sons were the ones to carry on the family line.
"You're still laughing. Look at this brat, what kind of behavior is that?" Chen Zi An said, then felt it was really unnecessary to hold a grudge against a bratty kid.
At that moment, Chen Zi An also smiled.
