Chapter 355: 324 In case I can’t help it (1 update)_1

She had seen grandmothers who were fiercely protective of their sons, and those who pretended to be polite to their daughters-in-law in public while instructing them on how to serve their sons behind their backs. But Tang Su had never before encountered a prospective mother-in-law who actively encouraged her to enjoy what Lu Han offered.

Bubbles of happiness began to form in Tang Su’s heart.

Knowing that she had been staying in the hospital for the past few days, forced by her grandmother to break up with Lu Han, his family, upon learning this, didn’t reproach her for not standing by Lu Han or for letting her grandmother make things difficult for the Lu Family?

Lu Han had actually brought his parents to the hospital personally to explain things to her grandmother and even revealed long-hidden secrets of the Lu Family.

Tang Su felt quite sorry for them.

But Lu Han didn’t blame her and was still so good to her.

Bai Wei stewed a pot of ginseng chicken soup to nourish her, rich and fragrant. Tang Su wasn’t a kitchen novice; she knew that preparing such a tasty pot of chicken soup took considerable effort and time.

The dinner, shared by three generations, was especially comforting and enjoyable.

After dinner, the maids took care of the cleanup, and Tang Su was invited to the living room to enjoy the after-dinner fruit. There were still several boxes of the chocolates that Lu Zhu had given her last time.

Bai Wei stayed behind, originally planning to give the chocolates to Lu Zhu for a treat when her daughter visited, but knowing Tang Su liked them, she went and packed several boxes in a bag for Tang Su to take home and enjoy.

This brand of imported chocolate was something many people had never seen because it had only recently been introduced to the country and had been snapped up as soon as it hit the market. Without the need for a middleman, those who obtained the distribution rights had their stock fully booked immediately upon receipt.

It was also thanks to a good friend of Song Mingxiu’s abroad who specialized in selling such premium goods that their family got to enjoy this perk; otherwise, it would be truly difficult to purchase even with money.

Being handcrafted, the chocolate was produced in limited quantities and demand often exceeded supply, leading to a steep price. Yet its flavor was indeed smooth on the palate, sweet but not cloying.

Nowadays, anything associated with the word "handmade" almost always commanded a premium price.

The producers of this chocolate didn’t even think about advertising. They already had too few to sell, and advertising would have driven demand to insanity.

"Tang Su, take these chocolates home to eat later," Bai Wei said.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"No need to thank me. Lu Han and Mingxiu were both staying in Hua City before, and we were all worried they wouldn’t know how to take care of themselves. Now that you’re there with your parents, Lu Han has a place to enjoy a good meal. Do you think I should thank your family every time he visits your home?"

"Of course not," Tang Su quickly responded, shaking her head. She certainly hadn’t thought that.

Moreover, Lu Han wasn’t the kind of person she described, completely clueless about taking care of himself. He took very good care of her.

"Then that’s settled. Moreover, it’s just some chocolate, nothing costly. Once your grandmother’s health has recovered, your Uncle Lu and I will go to Hua City to discuss the details of your marriage to Lu Han with your parents."

"I hope it won’t be too long before our two families can meet in Hua City."

"..."

Tang Su’s cheeks grew even redder.

At that moment, Lu Maoyan came down from upstairs with the red envelopes he had prepared earlier and handed them to Bai Wei.

Three fat red envelopes, one of which was from Patriarch Bai.

Each envelope was very thick, making Tang Su’s eyes widen in astonishment.

She had been fond of money since she was a child; her parents never took away the New Year’s money from her and her brother. Even the red envelopes from their infancy had been saved for them.

Once they understood the meaning of money and how to convert it, Su Ruoan let the siblings manage those unopened red envelopes themselves.

How much money they each took for their monthly allowance and how they chose to spend it was entirely up to them.

At first, Tang Su didn’t know how to restrain herself. She bought things impulsively and would treat friends frequently. Soon, her New Year’s gift money from the past few years dwindled.

It was only then that Tang Su began to panic and slowly learned how to manage her finances.

"This is the red envelope that your aunt and your Uncle Lu, along with Patriarch Bai, have prepared for you. We haven’t found a suitable opportunity to give it to you until today, which seems perfect,"

"Here, take it, it’s a little something from us. You can’t refuse."

"..."

Tang Su glanced at Lu Han. If the red envelope hadn’t been so thick, she would have taken it without hesitation and felt entirely justified.

But, it felt a bit unsettling to her to accept a red envelope worth a small fortune before any procedures had even started.

Although a small fortune was mere pocket change for the Lu Family, for her, it was quite a significant amount.

After all, when she chatted with her male cousins, the red envelope that her second uncle’s family gave to her cousin-in-law was only a few hundred yuan. If her cousins knew that Lu Han’s family gave her a red envelope worth a small fortune, they would probably get an earful.

She wouldn’t gossip about it at home, but Tang Su still felt the sum was too generous.

She was a bit afraid to accept it.

"If they give it to you, just take it. It’s a little token of their affection. You don’t need to feel embarrassed. After all, you are going to be their daughter-in-law, their grandson’s wife. It’s not like you’re deceiving them. Just accept it with ease."

Lu Han knew what Tang Su was thinking and encouraged her to take it with ease.

Besides, Tang Su could spend the money however she wished.

If spending it made Tang Su happy, then his family would be happy too.

"Thank you."

Tang Su expressed her gratitude and then took the three red envelopes, which she couldn’t even fully grasp in her hands. She had carried only a small shoulder bag with her that day. Lu Han took out his own bag, placed the envelopes inside, and said, "We’ll go deposit the money first thing."

"Let’s not wait, let’s go now. It’s getting late, and although you two are heading out to get married, you still have to consider Uncle and Aunt Tang, as well as your eldest uncle. You have to prove to them in front of their faces that with you, Tang Su won’t be wronged. Let them feel assured in handing her over to you."

Bai Wei glanced at the time. She really wanted Tang Su to stay over for the night, but it wasn’t appropriate now, and considering how impatient her son was, who knows if one day he wouldn’t be able to hold back and...

They didn’t mind, having resolved to marry Tang Su and take responsibility for her until the end.

However, they couldn’t disregard the Tang Family’s perspective. The two families were going to be close in-laws, and after the children married, they would continue to interact.

Therefore, the procedures must be followed, and the sequence of events should be observed according to tradition as much as possible.

There was plenty of time in the future. Once they had the legal papers, it wouldn’t just be about Tang Su staying a night. In the future, she could spend her days and nights with her mother-in-law, having tea, chatting, shopping, and enjoying good food.

The thought alone was delightful.

She had a daughter, but Lu Zhu was too career-focused and busy.

Tang Su was much better in this regard.

Bai Wei envisioned the beautiful life she would create with her future daughter-in-law in the not-so-distant future.
