Chapter 34 In-laws
"Old Yu! Teacher Wu!"
"Sister Duan—my in-laws! Old Lin, hello!"
In front of the hotel entrance.
Old Lin and Old Yu shook hands and greeted each other as a couple.
Teacher Wu smiled and nodded to her mother-in-law, Duan Fang.
He looked around, then asked curiously, "Where are the two little ones?"
Upon hearing this, Old Lin immediately waved his hand and said, "Hey! I just asked Xiao Yu if he had explained You Rong's situation to you. Young people are prone to being forgetful, but it's nothing. I've already criticized him!"
"What do you mean?" Old Yu was taken aback.
“My son participated in the Chinese Voice of China, so many people know her. The two kids are also secretly married. Xiao Yu didn’t tell the two in-laws in advance, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to cover her face completely and stand on the street to greet you on the first meeting, for fear that the in-laws would find it strange. So she simply let them wait inside.”
Teacher Wu looked surprised: "Huh?"
My daughter's stage name is Lin Su.
Hearing his mother-in-law's words, Old Yu couldn't believe it: "Which one? Lin Su?"
The elderly couple were teachers after all. They dealt with many students with rather unconventional personalities on a daily basis, and had long since developed a calm and composed mindset, remaining unfazed even in the face of adversity.
Rao is so.
These words made Teacher Wu click her tongue in surprise: "My dear in-law, are you kidding me?"
She watched every single episode of "The Voice of China" with Lao Yu, so how could she not know who Lin Su was?
That girl is so beautiful! And she sings so well too!
In the end, they didn't get to stand on the award stage, and the elderly couple were heartbroken because of it.
Old Lin chimed in, "I'm not kidding you guys. My surname is Lin, and my son's surname is also Lin. His real name is Lin Yourong. You can just call him Yourong."
Old Yu was good at handling things, and no one knows a father better than his son. Yu Huan valued this, which is why he didn't say much.
He quickly adjusted his attitude and joked with Lao Lin as always: "Lao Lin, Lao Lin, your daughter is so beautiful, it's good that she looks like her mother."
"My beautiful daughter is destined to marry into your family, isn't she?" Old Lin said with a smile, then turned and invited, "My dear in-laws, let's go inside and chat!"
……
Why does Yu Huan sense that Lin Yourong is a little nervous?
The two stood behind the door.
She was holding a hat in her hand, her head was down, and her toes were touching each other.
Soon, a series of footsteps could be heard outside the door, getting closer and closer.
then.
Yu Huan quickly opened the door.
First look.
Only Lao Lin and Lao Yu could be seen standing side by side outside the door.
"You ignorant brat!" As soon as the father and son met, Old Yu strode in, feigning anger but actually laughing, and pretended to scold: "We almost mistreated You Rong, such a good girl."
"That's right! He's just being ignorant!"
Standing behind, Teacher Wu leaned out to the side, playfully chiding him.
Yu Huan greeted his two direct superiors with an awkward smile.
Ms. Wu was too lazy to pay him any more attention, because as she stepped across the threshold, she immediately saw the graceful Lin Yourong.
While grinning from ear to ear, she quickly looked down and opened the large shoulder bag she was carrying.
He pulled out a red gift bag.
Yu Huan spotted the Lao Feng Xiang logo with her sharp eyes.
Be nice!
Teacher Wu is bleeding heavily!
She hurriedly handed it to Lin Yourong: "Yourong, this is our first time meeting. Although you have already registered your marriage, the Yu family will definitely not skimp on any of the betrothal gifts and other necessities."
Hardware?
Those must be earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and pendants, right?
Yu Huan pondered to himself.
This bag must be worth tens of thousands!
If Yu Huan hadn't held hands with Lin Yourong, he might have had a toothache.
However, at this moment, they felt that he was truly worthy of being his parents.
That was done perfectly!
Lin Yourong was at a loss for words, and hesitantly said, "Um, thank you, you—"
"Speak properly, don't be so formal!" The mother-in-law patted her shoulder, feigning anger.
Old Yu stood to the side, scratching his head with a silly grin.
Ouch!
Is it really Lin Su?
"Hello." Hearing Lin Su greet him, Old Yu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Hello, hello to you too."
After everyone was seated, and after a short knock on the door of the private room, Lin Yourong put on her mask, and the waiters began to file in to serve the dishes.
A few moments.
A quiet silence fell over the room.
Old Lin and Old Yu sat side by side.
The two of them toasted each other while drinking.
Old Lin suddenly sighed and said, "Old Yu, let me tell you, as long as the two young people treat each other sincerely, all the formalities of betrothal and dowry are irrelevant."
"Old Lin, it's a big deal!"
"That's right, because of the nature of You Rong's work, which is still in its rising phase, we need to protect her privacy and career—"
Old Yu is no fool; on the contrary, he's quite clever.
Hear this.
He swallowed the food in his mouth whole.
His thoughts raced through his mind in a few breaths before he abruptly interrupted Old Lin: "As parents, we always hope that our children's wedding will be lively and grand."
but.
Teacher Wu immediately said, "We only just realized that You Rong is a public figure, so there must be many things she can't control. We can understand why she can't hold a banquet or make it public."
After she said that, Lao Yu didn't know what else to say, so he could only say, "Lao Lin, mother-in-law, we understand and support you!"
“You two in-laws are truly worthy of being teachers. Your understanding and support are all that matters,” Old Lin nodded repeatedly, then suddenly changed the subject, saying, “My Lin family has only one son per generation. I have no brothers or sisters, only this one daughter…”
As soon as the words came out.
Teacher Wu, who had been listening intently, was immediately taken aback.
The elderly couple had been grumbling about it for a long time.
What are Lao Lin's family circumstances?
She's a high-ranking leader at the newspaper! I heard that Sister Duan also works at Hunan Tobacco Company.
In terms of conditions, they are far better off than their family.
What's more, we only found out now that his daughter is actually a big star!
To put it more realistically, Yu Huan in their family is definitely marrying above his station.
Could it be that Old Lin's words imply that he wants her son to become a live-in son-in-law?
In fact, when Yu Huan first entered the door, she was also startled by Lao Lin's similar words and subconsciously thought the worst, assuming that Lao Lin was looking for a son-in-law.
Similar to Mr. Ren's early experience, and the fact that neither of his two children could take his surname, he only changed his son's surname back to his father's after the divorce.
Yu Huan, who had been focused on eating, broke the silence by speaking up: "It's like this, You Rong and I have discussed it and decided that one of our children will take the mother's surname in the future."
Yu Huan's words immediately made Lin Yourong's head droop even lower.
She didn't even consult him!
It must be her father stirring up trouble!
Upon hearing this, Teacher Wu felt reassured and waved her hand, saying, "Oh, none of that matters, as long as you two are happy."
These days, almost all young people of marriageable age are only children.
Because of the two-child policy for couples where both parents are only children, and because urban residents have more open-minded views, it is not uncommon for one child to take the father's surname and the other to take the mother's surname.
This is called a double marriage, a product of its time.
Moreover, as Lao Lin himself said, he is the only son in his family line, has no brothers or sisters, and comes from such a well-off family.
Teacher Wu didn't think much of it and just let it go.
As long as it doesn't make her Yu Huan a live-in son-in-law, that's fine.
However, Lao Yu opened his mouth, but hesitated for some reason. He really wanted to say that if the children had different surnames, wouldn't there be a barrier between them?
However, given the current atmosphere, saying this would be very inappropriate.
Lin Yourong kept her head down, silently picking up food and rice.
The mother-in-law laughed and said:
“My mother-in-law is right. As long as the two of them are happy, that’s all that matters. The gold jewelry is a token of our affection, so You Rong will accept it. Since we’re not planning to have a banquet, we can forget about the betrothal gifts. Also, You Rong owns a house of over 200 square meters in the Delta, which can be used as our wedding home.”
Old Yu's mind works incredibly fast.
Yu Huan and Lin Yourong hadn't known each other for very long before they got married in a flash.
Marriage room?
"It shouldn't be renovated yet, right?"
