"Our clan has no precedent for this. I don't approve of you marrying into their family," Li Cuicui said resentfully. "Whatever silver they gave you, you go and return it.
If their daughter is willing to marry into our village, then I'll accept it."
Gu Shulin said, "As the Old Clan Leader, while our clan doesn't have a specific rule against this, your actions are equivalent to joining another family. Our clan's authority may no longer hold any sway over you.
If you insist on this path, then for the sake of the entire family, I'll have no choice but to strike your name from the family registry. Do you still think this is worth it?"
Gu Yuanlei's legs felt weak, and he leaned against the wall for support. "It can't be that serious, can it? They promised me that if we have several children, one of them would carry my surname."
Gu Shulin shook his head. "That will only lead to endless complications later on. You should think it over carefully."
