Chapter 1200 The Zhou Family’s Decision (2)
Mr. Wu's analysis left the other three people present unable to refute.
"But if they are too busy and I don't help them take care of the child, what should I do if there is no one to take care of the child?" Wu Yunshang frowned.
“Then let them hire a nanny and let the nanny take care of them.
If you are worried that the nanny is not attentive, then I will move in and look after her.
But in this case, we'll have to find a bigger yard.
The nanny is not allowed to approach the yard where Xiaoxue Pharmaceutical is produced, for fear that she might spy on any secrets.
Give them a courtyard with three or four entrances to live in." said Mr. Wu.
"The courtyard where Xiaoxue lives now is a quadrangle courtyard with four entrances, which was a reward given by the higher-ups.
But I feel like it might not be a good idea to live with her. Will someone say that Xuan is marrying into her family?
It would be better if we build a courtyard house with three or four entrances for them." Old Wu frowned.
When Wu Yunshang heard this, she asked hurriedly, "Dad, do you have a quadrangle with four entrances?"
Mr. Wu thought for a moment and said, "There is a three-story building, but it's too far from Xia University.
They will be in school for four years, so it would be best for them to live closer to Xia University during these years.
They are not young anymore, and it is not a good idea to wait until they graduate from college four years later to get married. It would be best for them to get married while they are still in college, have children, and then concentrate on their careers.
As you all know, Xiaoxue has already made it. She doesn't have to attend classes every day during her four years in college. As long as she gets good grades in the exams or above, it will be fine.
This will also make it easier for her to get married and have children during college."
Old Wu looked at several people, wanting to see if they had different ideas.
But Mr. Zhou shook his head and said, "Today is Xiaoxue's first visit, we must not ask them to get married quickly.
After we meet a few more times, we can try to ask them when they plan to get married.
If they decide to get married during college, we will definitely support them.
As for the courtyard house with three or four entrances near Xia University, we can use our connections to look for it. I should be able to find it, and then use it as the couple's residence during their college years.
As for whether they will live together after graduating from college, let them do as they please.
Even if they live in Xiaoxue's house, no one in the Zhou family can complain."
"Given Xiaoxue's ability, she is willing to marry into the Zhou family, which is already a great honor for us.
Even if she proposes to let Mingxuan marry into the family, as long as Mingxuan agrees, we will not object."
Mr. Wu was obviously stunned, and it took him a long time to find his voice. He didn't know what to say, so he pursed his lips and said only one sentence, "Brother, are you playing such a big game?
Your great-grandson's surname is Liu, not Zhou. Do you have any objection?"
"I'm not an old-fashioned person. Even if my great-grandson takes my mother's surname, does that mean he is no longer a member of my Zhou family?
Besides, I have many great-grandchildren now, so I don’t lack them.”
"But Xiaoxue is the only child in the family, and both her parents are martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country. It's no big deal for the child to take her mother's surname and inherit her family's bloodline," said Mr. Zhou generously.
This was indeed what he really thought in his heart.
He glanced at Mr. Wu and recalled what his son had secretly told him many years ago. He raised his eyebrows.
“If they have many children in the future, and one of them has the surname Wu to inherit the Wu family, I have no objection.
I told you before, let Mingxuan take his mother's surname and continue the Wu family's incense.
But you were worried that because Mingxuan's surname was Wu, we would treat him coldly and dislike him, so you rejected this matter.
If Mingxuan's child takes his mother's surname, and then there's another child with the surname Wu, I think you won't have to worry about it anymore."
For some reason, Mr. Wu felt his eyes getting a little hot.
He quickly picked up the teacup and started drinking, trying to cover up his mistake.
"We were talking about Mingxuan and Xiaoxue, how did it get to me?"
Seeing his discomfort, Mr. Zhou did not stare at him, "What I mean is that the couple's affairs should be decided by themselves.
Whether Mingxuan marries into the Zhou family or Xiaoxue marries into the Zhou family is up to them.
No matter what method is used, we will give what we should give and will not discriminate.
As for whose surname the child will take, it is up to the couple themselves to decide."
"Anyway, no matter what the child's surname is, he has Zhou family blood flowing in his body. He is the bloodline of my Zhou family."
Mr. Zhou looked at his eldest son and daughter-in-law, "I said this, do you have any different opinions?"
Looking at his father's sharp eyes, Zhou Yunting winked at his wife and said,
"Since it's your decision, Dad, Yunshang and I naturally won't be interested."
Her father-in-law had said that he had no objection to one of Mingxuan's children having the surname Wu in the future. Knowing the hidden pain in her father's heart, how could Wu Yunshang go against her father-in-law and block this path?
After thinking about it, she said, "I don't mean to do that, but I'm a little worried that my brothers-in-law will have objections.
After all, if Mingxuan married into their family, they would inevitably be criticized.
And if their daughters-in-law follow suit and change their grandchildren's surnames to their mother's, they will probably cause trouble for Yun Ting and me."
“Then you can tell them directly and ask them to come to me if they have any opinions.
You don't have to worry too much, I will find them in person later and tell them about this matter." Zhou Lao said decisively.
Seeing that her father-in-law took charge of the matter, how could Wu Yunshang disagree? "We all listen to Dad."
Seeing that the three of them all looked serious, Mr. Wu couldn't help but comfort them.
"Don't worry, Xiaoxue is a soft-hearted person, she won't make any excessive demands.
You don't have to worry about marrying into the wife's family. Neither she nor Wei Hua and Xiu Lan will make such a request.
So, your great-grandsons and grandsons should have the surname Zhou.
But if you have more children and let one of them have the surname Liu, that's fine too."
"Brother, after all, it's your Zhou family that made the most money.
The Liu family's innate supernatural powers have a high probability of being inherited.
Among the three people of Xiaoxue's generation, two are born with supernatural powers.
The next generation has now established a country, started a family and had two children. The elder one has been confirmed to be born with supernatural powers.
The younger one is only two years old and hasn’t awakened yet, so we don’t know yet.”
"If they get married and give birth to a child with supernatural powers, then your Zhou family won't have to envy the Liu family anymore."
When Mr. Zhou heard this, a scene emerged in his mind, with several healthy and strong children surrounding him and calling him great-grandfather. Each of them was very strong and could beat down children of the same age or even a few years older. He couldn't help but laugh.
“It would be wonderful if that day really came.”
“In fact, it doesn’t matter if you are not born with supernatural powers, but don’t forget that Xiaoxue’s hand and foot skills are also quite good.
Look at our Mingxuan and the kid from the Zhao family. After being trained by her for several years, their skills are far superior to others.
Her own children must have been carefully brought up since childhood, so they will definitely be good.
Even if I don't practice martial arts, it's not bad to learn her skills in making medicine." Zhou Yunting also said excitedly.
Old Wu nodded, "So, we have to pay more attention to Xiaoxue and not treat her as an ordinary daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law.
I heard from Mingxuan that because of his girlfriend's affairs, some people came to our house to cause trouble recently. We must not let those people get in front of Xiaoxue and embarrass her.
It would be bad if she misunderstood. "
When he heard his in-laws mention those people, Mr. Zhou's face turned cold.
“I used to think that since we lived in the same compound, it would be hard to tear each other apart, so I gave them some face.
If they dare to gossip in front of Xiaoxue today, don't blame me for being rude."
As he spoke, he looked at his son and daughter-in-law, "Big brother, big brother, you guys should be careful and don't let those people talk nonsense in front of Xiaoxue."
"Don't worry, Dad. We will definitely stop them when the time comes."
