Chapter 410: 379 He can eat crispy candy at any time now (1 more)

Lunch ended, and Tang Su was stuffed with several large red envelopes. Then, thinking about the upwards of a million in spending money she was about to receive, Tang Su felt like she was dreaming.

Could her future days be so carefree that she could just lie down and relax?

Would she be able to live every day without worrying about food and drink even without running a store?

Not just worry-free about food and drink, but it seems she could even dress in gold and silver and squander however she wanted, right?

Was this kind of life really what every woman dreamed of?

Tang Su didn’t think so.

At least her mother and godmother weren’t that kind of women. Otherwise, with their looks and charm, finding such husbands would have been a matter of minutes.

They were all more beautiful, intellectual, and generous than she was.

At best, she was just pretty and cute, with no other advantages.

Thinking about it, she felt that someone like her didn’t deserve Lu Han at all.

However, Lu Han’s love for her had grown deep roots, and Tang Su’s initial lack of confidence gradually turned into more and more confidence.

After Tang Shengyi paid the bill, Su Ruoan invited everyone to their home, which was small but warm, clean, and tidy.

Knowing that Bai Wei and Lu Maoyan lived in a large villa with everything inside, where the landscaping was like a small park and many servants attended to them, didn’t faze Su Ruoan.

Even so, Su Ruoan confidently invited her future in-laws to their house because they were sincere and unpretentious in their manners.

Their family’s conditions were modest, with the four of them crammed into that simple little apartment.

They didn’t need to hire servants for their lifestyle.

Over the years, whichever parent had time would clean the house. As the children grew up, they too started helping out.

They were a family of four, not just a couple, so everyone was responsible for keeping the home clean and tidy.

Bai Wei, Lu Maoyan, and Patriarch Bai all went to visit, as there were many details for both sides to discuss.

Bai Wei, showing great respect for Tang Su, took the initiative to suggest holding one ceremony in Hua City and another in Beijing.

If relatives from both sides had the time and convenience, they could attend both ceremonies. Bai Wei asked for Su Ruoan’s opinion, "Ruoan, what do you think?"

"Marrying off a daughter is a big deal in our family. What do you think, old Tang?"

Su Ruoan always respected Tang Shengyi’s position, as he was the head of the family. Now that a decision needed to be made, naturally, she let him decide.

"That’s fine. We’ll follow the mother-in-law’s suggestion, but as for the banquet in Hua City, we, the bride’s side, will take care of it."

What Tang Shengyi meant was that the Tang Family would pay for the banquet expenses.

Bai Wei understood and agreed.

"Then there’s no problem. As for the rest of the details, you can discuss them."

"We actually covered most of it during our last meeting at home. The wedding will be outsourced to a wedding planning company. We just need to decide on the guest list. You can determine who will be invited on your side and give us a list. The hotel belongs to us, so adding tables at the last minute is no issue. There’s no rush; just let me know ten days in advance."

"Also, some of the betrothal gifts are still on the way. The old man is too eager; some custom jewelry is still being rushed. So, we came first, and for any lack of protocol, we ask for forgiveness from Tang Su’s father and mother."

"Not at all, those formalities are superficial. Tang Bao is fortunate to have in-laws like you in her life; it’s her blessing. Her mother and I are also reassured. Father-in-law, mother-in-law, from now on we are one family. I believe that us sharing common values matters more than any betrothal gifts. Don’t you agree?"

These words from Tang Shengyi deeply resonated, especially with Patriarch Bai, who just nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, yes, Tang Su’s father is right. The ancients said that the social status of matrimonial families should be compatible, but it’s not just about financial compatibility nowadays. Some nouveau riche might have the cash, but their cultural refinement and knowledge can’t compare to those century-old prestigious families."

"However, a nouveau riche might get lucky and achieve wealth equivalent to a prestigious family within just a few years. If we only look at wealth, can we say that they are a match for an established family?"

"So, it’s when the values of the two families align that we can call it a good match. Tang Su’s father, rest assured, once Tang Su marries into the Lu family, she will be treated as their own daughter, just like she’s my own granddaughter. We also believe you will treat Lu Han as your own son. Therefore, regarding whether they stay in Hua City or move to Beijing after their wedding, we have no objections."

"I just have one request. Their first child, whether a boy or a girl, shall be raised in Beijing, and the second child can be raised in Hua City. Is that alright?"

"Mr. Bai, as for this matter, we will listen to the children. As long as you persuade them, my wife and I have no objections."

"Good, thank you. Tang Su is a kind-hearted girl; she will surely have pity on this old man."

Bai Wei: "..."

This old man really knows how to play the sympathy card all the way to Hua City. She thought so; they had just come to formally seek the marriage and then set a date. Even at their swiftest, it wasn’t possible to wrap everything up before the new year.

So even when they asked him to visit again next time, he was unwilling and insisted on coming this time. It turned out he had his sights set on Tang Su and Lu Han’s future children.

The little rascals aren’t even on the way yet.

The betrothal gifts were received, and the rest of the jewelry, once finished, would be delivered to Tang Su’s home as soon as possible. The proceedings on the Lu Family’s side were almost complete; what remained was to pick an auspicious date for the wedding preparations on the groom’s side.

Su Ruoan and Tang Shengyi also couldn’t sit idle; having received the betrothal gifts, they had to prepare the dowry.

Fortunately, Su Yangming had sent a card, truly a timely assistance.

In the end, the dowry was settled at 10.1 million.

Compared to the wealth of the Lu Family, this amount was practically no dowry at all.

Therefore, when Bai Wei and Lu Maoyan were arranging Tang Su’s pocket money, they would put in a great deal of effort.

This was a token of affection from the in-laws for their daughter-in-law, and the Tang Family need not repay it.

Tang Su was an adult; how much pocket money her in-laws decided to give her, and whether she would accept it, Tang Shengyi and Su Ruoan wouldn’t interfere.

That’s between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and had nothing to do with her as a mother.

In the evening, Bai Wei and the other two stayed at the Tang Family home for dinner.

The two housekeepers went to arrange accommodation. After dinner, the housekeeper had the driver and car ready to pick them up.

Bai Wei also brought the auspicious dates picked by a master; one was for obtaining the marriage certificate, and the other for the wedding ceremony. Both dates needed to be discussed with Lu Han and Tang Su.

Tang Shengyi and Su Ruoan had no objections to this.

The afternoon passed with Tang Su and Lu Han enjoying some time alone. Then, Tang Su went to deposit the red envelopes, and suddenly her bank account had many more little sums of money.

Tang Su was quite happy.

Like a little money-grubber, having acquired a sum of money, she naturally didn’t forget to share, sending a red envelope to Sun Qing, and then to several of her WeChat groups.

She sent out a thousand in the bookstore’s trio group, with the three snatching for it. The coffee shop had more people, so Tang Su sent out two thousand there.

Those who snatched the red envelopes screamed with delight, replying to Tang Su with various "Thanks to the big spender" emotes.

The smile never left Tang Su’s face.

All the while, Lu Han watched her with a gaze filled with tender indulgence.

With the parents’ visit over, he could have his sweetheart candy anytime.
