Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1189: Deserved Punishment (9)

"He didn’t bully me."

"He’s fooling you."

"He did not!"

Xiao Shuju pointed her finger at Zhao Mengjin’s face and said to the Old Madam Xiao, "Grandmother, aren’t you going to say something? Isn’t this girl acting foolishly?"

The Old Madam Xiao slowly spoke up, "Mengjin is still young and unmarried. You need to explain things to her properly, not just scold her." Then she turned to Zhao Mengjin, "What your third aunt says, you might not understand. Your third aunt isn’t targeting him; she’s saying that you are immature and don’t understand the gravity of marriage. A woman should marry rich, not poor, and there’s a reason for that. When the day comes that you have children with him, and he can’t even earn enough for the baby’s formula, and you have to work while in confinement to support the child, then you’ll know what it means to call for help in vain and you’ll regret marrying someone like that, wishing you could dig out your own eyes."

Zhao Mengjin kept a straight face, almost blurting out, so then, wasn’t her grandfather, Xiao Jianming, also someone without money? Yet he married a rich young lady.

Xiao Shuju nodded along to the old madam’s words, "Don’t you admire your uncle? Yebai often says, to be a husband, a man must first be capable, whatever money the wife wants, the husband should provide. I admire Yebai’s words the most. You should marry a man like your little uncle!"

Zhao Mengjin was speechless.

Xiao Yebai pampered his wife excessively, didn’t he?

In conclusion, both the Old Madam Xiao and Xiao Shuju opposed any further contact between her and Ou Yanan. As for the Zhao family, needless to say, it was as if the proposed alliance with the Ou family had never occurred.

Zhao Mengjin suddenly recalled how Tang Sili had deliberately avoided her recently, realizing that he had foreseen this outcome. Now all she felt in her heart was bitterness and nothing else.

Apart from this sudden vexing issue with the Ou family, the Xiao and Gu families should have been celebrating joyously, given the birth of two little lives, which brought hope for the future to both families.

The elders argued for half a day over what to name the two little monkeys. Gu Dad and Gu Mom didn’t have specific preferences for the names, so long as they sounded good, as they weren’t superstitious. Names like Gu Nuan and Gu Sheng were given by a friendly old teacher of Gu Dad’s. It wouldn’t be appropriate to ask this old friend to name the two little monkeys now.

The Old Madam brought out her name book and read each name to everyone.

Gu Dad and Gu Mom listened while stifling yawns, unable to discern the difference between each name.

Later, Xiao Jianming arrived with his ideas.

"One will be called Lingxin, and the other Mingli."

When Gu Dad heard this, he jumped up, praising the in-law’s choice of names.

For Xiao Jianming, this was the first formal meeting with the bride’s parents. It was expected to be incredibly awkward due to previous unseen tensions between the families. Unexpectedly, the Gu family turned out to be very accommodating, with Gu Dad seemingly having forgotten any past unpleasantness with the Xiao family, as if it had been cast away to Siberia.

Xiao Jianming squinted his eyes and thought, maybe this Gu family really is blessed with simple luck.

If Gu Dad and Gu Mom were the type to hold grudges about past events, it wouldn’t benefit anyone. In the future, the two families would certainly continue as in-laws, as long as their son and daughter remained a couple.

Gu Nuan understood from the moment she heard her father-in-law’s chosen names for her children that they were filled with his apology. Otherwise, why would he name the eldest grandson Lingxin?

The father-in-law intended to trust her. So he named the second grandson Mingli, hoping the grandson would respect his mother properly.

Needless to say, Xiao Jianming’s sincerity touched Dabai deeply.

No one opposed these two names, and thus the two little monkeys had their own official and dignified names. However, when it came to their pet names, it wasn’t up to the father-in-law or anyone else to decide.

Xiaobai, and Xiao Xiaobai, came into being almost without anyone needing to rack their brains because the two little monkeys’ father was called Dabai. As it happens, these pet names of Xiaobai and Xiao Xiaobai were decided long ago, back when their parents first met.

Dabai later thought to himself, his wife was truly foresighted.

With the names chosen, it was time to register them, and regarding the surname, there was no need for much discussion; they’d simply follow their father’s surname.

At this moment, an unexpected visitor arrived, claiming the two little monkeys should officially return to their original surname.
