Chapter 447: 447 Pretending to disdain but actually upright!!

Lin Tang saw this and felt nothing amiss.

Everyone has selfish desires, and being selfish isn’t terrifying as long as one hasn’t lost their conscience.

Meanwhile, Lin Qingshui was secretly annoyed, feeling that he should have punched his little brother-in-law a few more times earlier.

A miscalculation.

Next time, then. There would be another chance.

After inspecting the gifts Lin Tang had brought back, the Lin Family members each went about their business.

Lin Zhicheng took his younger siblings with the gifts from their little aunt and left the house... to show them off to their friends.

Li Xiuli, who had been eagerly anticipating Lin Tang’s return, had already decided on the menu in her mind.

After speaking, she took her two daughters-in-law to the kitchen.

Speaking of which, it has to be said that both daughters-in-law of the Lin Family had married well.

Ning Xinrou and Zhou Mei both had incomes now and visibly stood straighter.

But they didn’t feel any more important because of this, and hadn’t become conceited at all.

When they came home from work or were on a day off, they were just like before, with work to do in their eyes.

Ning Xinrou was easy to talk about; she had always been diligent.

What was most commendable was Zhou Mei; she wasn’t lazy anymore. She had completely changed as though she was a different person, far more diligent than before.

Zhou Mei’s transformation was not unrelated to Lin Qingshui’s marital teachings by the bedside.

The only lazy ’thorn’ in the household was solved.

With the family’s efforts united, the Lin Family’s life was naturally getting more prosperous by the day.

This indeed confirmed the old saying, "A harmonious family leads to prosperity in everything."

Lin Tang was pleased to see such success.

Her parents would surely be living with her brothers, and as long as her sisters-in-law were filial and allowed the old couple to enjoy their twilight years, she didn’t mind being at a slight disadvantage.

Not to mention—

Her family always remembered her gifts and insisted on compensating her, denying her even the chance to feel disadvantaged.

Alas ~

Seeing that everyone in the family was busy, Lin Tang carried the gifts for her grandparents and, after informing Li Xiuli, set off for the old mansion.

When she arrived, the old couple was eating.

Seeing their granddaughter’s return, Lin Xiuyuan could see the elegantly poised face light up with a faint smile, "Tangtang is back. You must be tired from the journey, have you eaten?"

"Not yet." Lin Tang took a seat on a small stool and said, "My mum’s cooking right now, I’ll go back to eat later."

Zhao Shuzhen glanced at her sideways and served her a bowl of Fish Soup, retorting:

"What are you saying? You make it sound like your grandpa and I are like step-grandparents, stingy to even give you a bite to eat."

Lin Tang was unjustly criticised and felt bitter inside.

Who said that?

Her past fear of her grandmother wasn’t without reason, was it?

Besides her grandmother’s formidable presence, this sharp tongue was also a major reason, wasn’t it?

Lin Xiuyuan saw his granddaughter at a loss for words after being rebuked by his wife and smiled reluctantly at the corners of his mouth.

He said gently, "Tangtang, don’t mind her. Your grandma has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. These days you were gone, she hasn’t stopped mentioning you."

When his granddaughter wasn’t around, she’d constantly ask ’I wonder how Tangtang is doing?’ Yet as soon as she returns, she wouldn’t say a single soft word. This really made him feel torn between laughter and tears.

Lin Tang certainly knew about Zhao Shuzhen’s tough exterior and tender heart.

She brazenly smiled and said, "I know grandma has been thinking of me. Is this Fish Soup specially made by grandma because she knew I was coming back?"

The young girl’s face was filled with smiles, her eyes brimming with adoration and affection.

Zhao Shuzhen felt somewhat uncomfortable under those bright, shining eyes.

Among so many grandchildren, there weren’t many who dared to speak to her like that.

"Thick-skinned." She snorted dismissively, refusing to admit it, "Your grandpa made this for me, who said it was for you?"

Lin Xiuyuan smiled warmly, lifting the veil of his wife’s pretense.

"I made it, but the fish... was specially exchanged for by your grandma with the people from the brigade."

It was only because compared to the cooking of his old wife, Tangtang preferred his cooking.

Lin Tang’s little face tilted upwards, blissfully saying, "I knew it!"

As she spoke, she took a sip of the fish soup, her face full of enjoyment.

"Grandpa’s cooking is so good, and the fish grandma exchanged is really fresh."

With one sentence, she praised both of the old couple.

Lin Xiuyuan watched the sincere fondness spilling over her face and couldn’t help smiling affectionately, "If you like it, have some more, I’ll make it for you again another day."

Zhao Shuzhen hummed, "Flatterer."

Her mouth expressed disdain, but her eyes were softened with tenderness.

Lin Tang countered, "Could it be that grandma thinks the fish soup grandpa makes isn’t tasty?"

Zhao Shuzhen: "..." Such backtalk to your own grandma, you’re truly filial!

"Finish your food and get going." She pretended to be stern as she shooed her away.

Lin Tang pretended not to hear and brazenly picked up another chopstick of bean sprout glass noodles, savoring the delicious taste.

"I won’t!"

Her spoiled demeanor was somehow endearing, not annoying, making her seem impossibly cute and charming.

Zhao Shuzhen made a face as if she was helplessly annoyed by her, but in reality she very much enjoyed such close interactions with the younger generation.

Lin Xiuyuan saw through it and shook his head helplessly.

If Tangtang were slightly more sensitive, it might have been a different story.

After reluctantly finishing a bowl of fish soup and eating a few bites of dishes, Lin Tang put down her chopsticks.

Her mother had made her favorites on purpose, she had to save some room.

Lin Xiuyuan and Zhao Shuzhen were both aware of this and did not urge her to eat more.

After the meal, Lin Tang took out the gifts she had brought and said, "Grandpa, grandma, I brought gifts for you. For grandpa, knee pads, a Sun Yat-sen suit, and cotton boots; for grandma, a coat and cotton boots..."

Of course, these were not items for this season. Clothes for the summer days are easy to make, but she had bought winter clothes for her grandparents.

Zhao Shuzhen boldly picked up the Sun Yat-sen suit, her face filled with admiration.

"This suit looks so impressive, your grandpa will definitely look handsome in it."

"Right? Right?" Lin Tang seemed to have found a kindred spirit and said, "When I first saw this suit, I knew my grandpa would look super handsome in it."

Her grandpa was the most handsome man in the entire brigade. Time had been exceptionally kind to him, and no one in the village dared to look at him directly.

Wearing this Sun Yat-sen suit, only available to cadres, he would certainly look striking.

Zhao Shuzhen agreed with Lin Tang’s comment, nodding, "You do have an eye for this."

It was the first time she and Xiuyuan had received clothes as gifts from a younger family member, and the feeling was unexpectedly pleasing.

Lin Tang gave herself a mental thumbs up, her chin tilting up slightly, "Of course, when it comes to having a good eye, I take after grandma."

Otherwise, how could all her potential partners be as handsome as if they stepped out of a painting?

Zhao Shuzhen couldn’t hold back her laughter at this point, genuinely amused.

She praised her granddaughter, "You’re so thoughtful."

Lin Tang: "It’s only what I should do."

Perched on a small stool, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and noticed the radio on the windowsill.

Her expression appeared slightly dumbfounded, "Grandma, where did that radio come from?"

Who had stolen the idea of gifting her grandparents a radio?!

That was currently Lin Xiuyuan’s new favorite thing. Hearing his granddaughter’s question, he smiled amiably, "Your eldest uncle, your dad, and your third uncle bought it together to give your grandma and me something to enjoy."

"I see," Lin Tang said with a tone of disappointment.

Now she had to think of something else to gift her grandpa for his birthday.

Going bald!

Zhao Shuzhen noticed her granddaughter’s off expression and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Lin Tang scratched her head, "The radio was something I was planning to give my grandpa for his birthday..."
