Chapter 56 056: Named for Laughter (2)

In this era, surnames are a very important thing to them, because at a young age it represents the child of whose family it is, and at an older age it can represent the honor of a family.

The so-called "when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" has this part of the meaning, especially in today's era where family values ​​are valued.

This question immediately stopped the two of them. They looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

Yu An raised his eyelids and looked at the little girl and asked, "Do you still remember your father's last name?"

The little girl shook her head and said honestly: "I don't know, and I don't want to take his last name."

Yu An spoke again, "Then your mother..."

Before he finished speaking, the little girl completed her prediction, "I don't want to take my mother's surname either."

For her, even though the mother who gave birth to her was a ten-month pregnant woman, she also knew that her existence was indispensable to her so-called parents. The mother who gave birth to her in the first place was The reason is simply that he thought the fetus was a son.

If it weren't for her being a free labor force, she wouldn't be alive today.

She had actually thought of this truth a long time ago, but it was because she couldn't let go of that illusory family affection that she had worked hard and uncomplainingly for so many years, and was tortured by them to this point.

Thinking back to the time when they had a 'little bastard', she didn't know what it meant at first, and she was even happy that she had a name at that time.

But it wasn't until she heard other children scolding her like this that she gradually understood that it was not a good word and did not contain any parents' expectations and love for their children.

Her heart was bleeding uncontrollably, as if it had been suddenly torn open by something. The truth and reality were so bloodyly displayed in front of her, which made her embarrassed and desperate at that time.

She is more silent than before, but does more work, because she has always been thinking, is it because she is not good enough or not working hard enough that she is treated like this?

But it wasn't until she overheard them talking about her future whereabouts as if they were buying and selling livestock that she didn't know what it meant to be completely heartbroken.

Only then did she realize that besides being a free labor force in the family, she was left behind because, as a girl, she could be sold at a good price in the village.

She has always known that there are no good people in the bandit village where she is, and it is common for women from good families to be kidnapped and taken to the mountains.

Most of them chose to commit suicide out of humiliation, but more often than not, even suicide became a luxury, and they just gave birth to their children in that dark little room day after day.

She looked at these helplessly, without any ability to argue for them.

Because even her own survival is on thin ice, how can she save others?
But when it seemed that she was about to become one of them, she was afraid.

The resentment that had been accumulated in her heart and chosen to be ignored completely erupted. For the first time, she hated her parents from the bottom of her heart, and she mustered up the courage to escape from here.

But before she could escape, the men in black took them all away like gods from heaven descending to earth.

Her mother secretly took her precious son down the mountain, just because she was afraid that she, a "slugger", would follow them.

——It was ironic, but it made her feel relieved for no reason at the time.

Looking at the silent little girl, Yu An didn't know what to say for a moment.

I don’t want to take my father’s surname, nor my mother’s surname, so what should I do?

Gui Shang decided to hand this choice to the little girl.

She smiled softly, sat on the stone chair, filled herself with tea, lowered her eyes and blew on the tea leaves floating on it, and spoke again, "Then what do you want your last name to be?"

The little girl hesitated and looked at Yu Sui. "Sister, can I have the same last name as you?"

This was the first time in all her years that someone had shown kindness to her, which was very meaningful.

Yu Sui was stunned for a moment and looked at his brother who was not far away.

After seeing Yu An nodded, Yu Sui's eyebrows were slightly curved, and a smile dyed the corners of his eyebrows.

She happily replied, "Okay!"

Of course, the surname Yu sounds so nice!

She has always been very proud of her surname. It is said that some great people were born in her ancestors, which made her have an inexplicable admiration for her surname.

but…

She and her brother looked at each other again——

If her surname is the same as theirs, then the meaning of this little girl to them will be different from before...

——It feels more like having an extra sister?
Yu Sui thought so.

However, she didn't say this out loud, fearing that the little girl would feel burdened or overthink it after hearing it.

She looked at the little girl, then glanced at Xiao Jiang not far away, and said with a smile: "My surname is Yu. You can ask the village leader to give you a name based on this."

When Yu Sui mentioned the word 'little village master', he emphasized it a little more, with a smile and a bit of teasing.

When Gui Shang saw the ball kicked back again, he looked at the little girl who was looking at him expectantly, and thought about it carefully, "How about naming it with the word 'laugh'? May you be happy and smile forever."

The little girl... no, I should correct it, she is now named Yu Xiao.

She nodded happily and thought the name sounded great!
Yu Sui and Yu An also nodded like the trend. This name is really good. It has a good meaning and sounds good when called.

The four of them reached a consensus at this moment, and the little girl's name was decided today.

*
Yu Xiao followed Yu Sui into the house, while Yu An followed Gui Shang to the dungeon to take a look at those people first.

When she was halfway down the road, she remembered that the coat was still in her hand. She had been holding it subconsciously just now, and she almost forgot about it.

So she handed it to Yu An and spoke under the confused gaze of the other party.

"Ah, I forgot to give it to you at your place before, but I just remembered it now."

After saying that, she stuffed the clothes into his arms. The movement could not be said to be very natural, at least it was very smooth.

Yu An:…

The two of them just "maintained" this awkward atmosphere that made people scratch the ground as they walked towards the dungeon, which was sparsely populated.

Soon, the two stopped in a very remote place, and the guard in the dark stopped there until Yu An came over, then nodded slightly and opened the secret door behind him.

Gui Shang looked at the two of them indifferently, and the two men lowered their heads towards her very familiarly, and bent slightly to show respect.
