Chapter 302: Chapter 298: Change Your Name Sooner Rather than Later [1800+ Votes]

——————

"Hmph, just let you be happy a little longer!" Zhang Baonni was furious, but she couldn’t do anything about Zhang Shanni, so she could only walk away in dejection.

On the way back, she was still fretting. When she left, she had boasted to her husband that she could definitely handle that smelly girl Zhang Shanni, but who knew she would return empty-handed!

Just thinking about having to face her husband’s scowling face, her mood became extremely sour.

As the saying goes, poverty makes a couple’s world crumble, and that’s exactly what Zhang Baonni and her husband were experiencing.

Zhang Shanni couldn’t be bothered to deal with this brainless girl from the Zhang Family.

After being disgusted by Zhang Baonni, Zhang Shanni remembered the certificate her uncle had sent her through the mail.

To be honest, she didn’t really care what her name was. But after being provoked by Zhang Baonni, she felt it was better to change her name sooner rather than later.

Firstly, she currently only had one business, and changing her name now would be simpler. If she waited to change it later, she felt the procedures would be much more troublesome.

If she was to change her name, of course, she would prefer to revert to her original name ’Yan Jinsu’. However, after what happened with Mother Yan, she felt a bit unwilling to take back that name.

Back in the day, when her dad broke off relations with that side, he was very keen on changing her name!

Speaking of the name Yan Jinsu, it’s a bit ironic.

Originally, her name was Yan Jinxian. Speaking of which, this brings up her identity in her previous life.

Her mother was her grandmother’s only daughter, and the Yan Family had always been thin on descendants. By her grandmother’s generation, there was only her grandmother, and her mother was her only daughter. But, she wasn’t the only child of her grandfather!

Outside, her grandfather secretly had a son with another woman.

That illegitimate child was the same age as her mother.

Both got married and had children around the same time.

When they were younger, her grandfather didn’t dare let her grandmother know that he had another family on the side.

Her mother’s marriage to her father can be described as the Yan Family taking a son-in-law into their family.

Her parents truly loved each other, and since there were many boys in her father’s family, they agreed to allow the second child to take the husband’s surname, which was seen as a semi son-in-law situation, and so they consented to their marriage.

After marriage, Mom immediately became pregnant with her. However, before she was born, her mother encountered that illegitimate child, who deliberately bumped into her mother, causing her to go into premature labor and give birth to her. At the same time, it also meant her mother could no longer have children.

After learning about this, Grandmother was so furious that she kicked Grandfather out of the house.

But it didn’t change the fact that her mother could no longer have children. Eventually, after discussing with her father, she was directly named Yan Jinxian.

However, this name caused a dramatic issue when she was thirteen years old and in school; she met another Yan Jinxian, and that’s when the soap opera-like trouble started – it turned out that the illegitimate child also had a daughter after getting married, who was only three days younger than her!

Moreover, they even seemed to do it deliberately, choosing the exact same name!

Oh, I forgot to mention, when Grandmother took a son-in-law into the family, she specifically chose someone with the same surname to marry.

So, the names of the two were not only phonetically identical but also written the same!

Such a soap opera-like plot persisted until high school. It almost caused a terrible incident of mistaken identity due to their identical names. Her mother decisively changed her name before the college entrance exam, successfully registering the change to Yan Jinsu.

This prevented her academic slot from being stolen!

Later, Grandmother’s health deteriorated further, and everyone dared not tell her about such disgusting matters, fearing it would upset her.

Not until Grandma was dying did Grandpa receive the news, and then he wept, begging for her forgiveness.

But, Grandma simply had no way to forgive him, and the things he coveted all fell through.

Because of Grandma’s affairs, their whole family particularly disliked that Grandpa, but there was no helping it; the man had the upper hand, and her Mom couldn’t just stop providing for him...

As such, she particularly disliked the name Yan Jinxian; it even caused her to not be very fond of Yan Jinsu later on. If it were not for Grandma, she would have wanted to change her name long ago!

Now, the biological parents of this body just happened to have the surname Yan, giving her the perfect opportunity not to carry the Yan surname!

Speaking of which, the ’jin’ in her name, Yan Jinsu, is a homophone for ’gold’. Yes, her dad’s surname is Jin, and his name is Jin Duobao.

Hmm, her eldest uncle is Jin Du’an, her second uncle is Jin Duodeng, and her youngest uncle is Jin Duohong...

An (peace), Deng (stability), Bao (treasure), and Hong (greatness), her grandmother was quite the name-giver, wasn’t she?

After her mom was repulsed by her biological father, she wanted to change her name back to her father’s surname. However, her dad refused to agree, always saying that the promises made in the past must be kept, and he couldn’t forget them just because "Mom" was no longer there.

Here in this place, there are no longer her dad and mom!

Zhang Shanni thought about how her parents took great effort to pick a nice name for her, flipping through the ’Xinhua Dictionary’ for several days, consulting fortune slips and divinations, before finally choosing the character ’Su’, filled with the expectations and love her parents had for her.

Now, Zhang Shanni feels that the name ’Jin Yanshu’ isn’t bad either, as it perfectly represents the continuation of her past life, with its implications matching as well!

Not bad at all, once the man comes back, she can ask for his opinion.

Only, how should she explain the fact that she wants to take on the surname ’Jin’?

Headache.

Seeing Xie Jingyang only makes her headache worse!

"Third daughter-in-law, if you’re feeling unwell, you can go upstairs and rest for a bit," Xie Tiesheng said, noticing that his third daughter-in-law looked unwell after the Zhang Family’s daughter had caused a scene, so he hurriedly sent her upstairs to rest.

"Alright, Dad, Mom, I’ll go up and take a nap; you guys can have a good chat with Fifth," Zhang Shanni noticed with a glimpse that this visit, Fifth’s complexion had changed significantly, no longer looking as gloomy as before.

"Third Sister-in-law, go and take a rest; I will take good care of Dad and Mom," Xie Jingyang said, seeing Zhang Shanni’s tired appearance and quickly nodding.

The Xie Family, seeing Zhang Shanni leave, then went back to the store; the family chatted and laughed while conducting business, skillfully handling both without neglect.

Xie Jingyang, knowing that his parents actually had a way to make a living here and hearing that their income wasn’t bad, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s commonly said that wealth is the first shackle that bends one’s spine; the saying isn’t wrong. Only after personally experiencing it does one understand the taste of not being able to progress without money.

Fortunately, his Fourth Brother still cared about family ties, knowing that he was short on money, sending food and cash to school every now and then, helping him get through the last few days of studies smoothly.

Now in April, the school has already started arranging jobs for everyone; considering his current educational level, the best career choice for him would be to become a teacher.

Now that the college entrance examination is reopening, his status as a worker, farmer, soldier college student isn’t as favored anymore.

To take care of the two children, the most suitable profession for him is to be a teacher, preferably a high school teacher, as the income is higher. But even being a middle school teacher would suffice.

His return this time was for his job matters, and once again, he had to trouble his Third Brother, and then to take the opportunity to bring the children to his side for proper guidance.

With his parents living here comfortably, and considering that Wang Xiaocui made too much trouble back home, Xie Jingyang thought he should settle his job here.

At the very least, Third Brother in this locality definitely has deeper connections than back home.

Moreover, with parents here, if there is really an emergency, there will be someone to take care of the children. Whether for the children’s sake or out of filial piety, he wants to be close to his parents.
