Chapter 973 - Ideological Change

After the proposal, An Xiaohui and Xiao Wang talked about marriage in front of their parents, which made An Xiaohui’s parents very happy.

However, there was one thing that An Xiaohui’s father was still a little worried about. “Xiao Wang, do you really want your first son to be surnamed an?”

Xiao Wang smiled and said, “Uncle, don’t worry. I don’t have any objections to having all my children surnamed An, let alone my first son’s surname!”

Although Xiao Wang had already agreed to this, father and mother An were both excited and happy after confirming this matter before they got married.

Father An patted Xiao Wang’s shoulder happily and smiled from ear to ear. He said, “No need. I only need one boy to be surnamed An. The other children will be surnamed Wang!”

Mother An also smiled and said, “Okay, since you’re getting married, let’s set a date as soon as possible and then prepare for the wedding!”

Xiao Wang and An Xiaohui held hands and looked at each other with a smile on their eyes. They didn’t expect their parents to be so happy.

While their parents were happy, Xiao Wang nodded to An Xiaohui. An Xiaohui’s eyes flashed. Then, she said to her parents, “Dad, Mom, I want to tell you something now.”There seemed to be some hesitation in her expression.

Father An asked happily, “Yes, what is it?”

An Xiaohui said, “It’s second uncle, second aunt, and An Yang.”

Father An’s expression froze, and he asked, “What do you mean?”

“Second uncle, second aunt, and An Yang are here,” An Xiaohui repeated.

Father An’s expression immediately darkened, and he asked with an unpleasant expression, “Why are they here? What are they doing here?”

......

An Xiaohui shook her head and said, “I don’t know. Then, Mom and dad, do you want to see second uncle and the others?”

Father and mother An looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.

An Xiaohui and Xiao Wang didn’t say anything either as they waited for their parents to make their own decision.

Mother An sighed lightly and asked, “Where are they now?”

An Xiaohui said, “They’re probably waiting outside to buy tickets to come in.”

Father and mother An were well aware of the purpose of their visit.

If it had been in the past, perhaps they would have considered the matter and eventually agreed to buy An Yang a house, a car, and a betrothal gift.

However, now that their daughter and future son-in-law had given them hope, coupled with the influence of the Xiao family during this period of time, they gradually came to understand the greed of their second brother’s family.

Father An thought for a moment and said, “Xiaohui, let them come over. In any case, there were some things that had to be clarified sooner or later. In the past, your mother and I didn’t have any sons, and that affected us deeply. We were fooled by your second uncle’s family, so we gave them whatever they wanted.

“But now, we won’t. You and your fiance have given us hope, and your mother and I won’t foolishly send money to them. So, we have thought it through. In the future, our money will be reserved for our grandchildren. We will never give it to them again.”

An Xiaohui’s eyes flashed with excitement.

She had waited for so many years just to hope that her parents would stop treating An Yang so well.

Mother An nodded and said, “Yes, compared to giving our money to an outsider, we would definitely be more willing to leave everything we have to our grandchildren.”

Mother An noticed the expression on her daughter’s face, took her hand, and patted it. She said very seriously, “Xiaohui, in the past, we were wrong. We didn’t consider your feelings and didn’t care about you. In the future, it won’t happen again. You are our beloved daughter. We are a real family!”

When An Xiaohui heard this, she hugged mother An’s shoulder and called out emotionally, “Mom!”

Her eyes were red, and tears of excitement flowed down from the corners of her eyes.

All this while, she had longed for her parents to treat her better and care for her. She was really happy.

Mother An’s eyes were also red. She patted her shoulder and said with a choked voice, “I’m sorry. Silly child, it was mom and Dad who let you down in the past. You were our daughter, but we turned a blind eye to you. Instead, we poured our hearts out to a nephew.” That person also had no conscience.

“Mom…” An Xiaohui finally couldn’t help but cry. There was hope and grievance in her crying.

Hearing An Xiaohui’s crying voice, Xiao Wang’s eyes revealed heartache. However, father and mother An’s eyes were filled with regret and guilt.

However, no one tried to persuade her. After An Xiaohui cried for a while, Xiao Wang patted An Xiaohui’s shoulder and said, “Xiaohui, don’t cry anymore. If you continue to cry, uncle and Aunty will also cry. You should be happy about this.”

Under the persuasion of her boyfriend, An Xiaohui finally stopped crying. However, because she had cried for a long time, she burped.

When Xiao Wang saw this, he felt both amused and distressed.

Father An said at this moment, “You’re already an adult, yet you’re still crying. Isn’t it embarrassing?” However, there was guilt in his serious expression.

Mother An tugged at her husband’s sleeve and said, “Alright, stop talking. Don’t make your daughter cry again.”

Father An twitched his mouth and didn’t say anything more. However, he choked out a sentence, “Then where are your second uncle and second aunt?”

“…” An Xiaohui said, “They’re at the ticket office outside.”

“Then just let them in.” Father An sighed and said, “It’s better to be clear about some things. This is to prevent trouble in the future!”

He knew the temperament of his second brother’s family.

If he didn’t see them this time, perhaps they would make a big fuss outside in the future, and his daughter’s reputation would certainly be affected.

An Xiaohui nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll let them in. But, dad, where should we arrange to meet?”

An Xiaohui had previously stayed in the company’s single dormitory. After dating Xiao Wang, she did not move out.

After bringing her parents over, she stayed in the company’s family room, which had two bedrooms and a living room, as well as a kitchen and bathroom.

Father An thought for a moment and said, “Let’s bring them over. After all, we’re relatives. If they come, we’ll just entertain them. As for the rest, let’s see how it goes first!”

An Xiaohui did not object. She nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll arrange for someone to bring them in.”

It was impossible for her to personally pick them up. Ever since she was young, apart from hating An Yang, who had always brought her pain, she also did not have a good impression of her second uncle and his family. She also hated them.

When second uncle and second aunt saw her, they scolded her. They even forbade her from using her parents’ money because they said that the money was left for their son, An Yang.

An Xiaohui then made a phone call.

After hanging up, she said to her parents, “Dad, Mom, I’ll get someone to bring them home in a while. You guys should go home too. Xiao Wang and I will go to work soon.”

She did not want to see her second uncle’s family at all.

Since her parents had already thought it through, she would leave it to them to solve it.

Father and mother An nodded and said, “Okay, go ahead.”

After pausing for a while, father An said, “Xiaohui, don’t worry. We won’t be convinced by your second uncle’s family anymore. Because you’re our biological daughter!”

Hearing father An’s words, An Xiaohui was completely relieved. She said, “Okay, thank you, Father!”

Xiao Wang said to An Xiaohui, “Xiaohui, I’ll stay with uncle and Auntie to greet the guests!”

An Xiaohui was about to refuse when she saw Xiao Wang winking at her. An Xiaohui nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll go to work then.”

After spending so much time with Xiao Wang, she knew that he liked to smile and be honest.

However, Xiao Wang was a subordinate who had been protecting old master Gong for six years. He had seen blood and killed people. In addition, he was tall and strong. As soon as he stood there, his aura was a little different. It was bloody and murderous. To an ordinary person, this kind of aura was a little scary.

Therefore, Xiao Wang stayed with father and mother An to intimidate second uncle and second aunt An. After all, that family had bullied An Xiaohui before.

Father and mother An looked at their daughter’s slender back. It was the first time in more than twenty years that mother An felt so sorry for her daughter. She wiped her tears and said, “It’s us who have let her down these twenty years.”

Father An and Xiao Wang didn’t say anything. They just silently watched An Xiaohui’s back as she left.

A moment later, Xiao Wang said, “Uncle, Auntie, let’s go home first. Someone will bring second uncle and his family over in a while.”

Father An nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go then!”

Then, the three of them went home together.

Some of the villagers who were familiar with them said with a smile, “When An Xiaohui’s parents first came to our Taoyuan Village, they were picky about their daughter. But now, they’re getting along so well even with Xiaohui’s boyfriend.”

Someone said, “People can change, right?”
