Chapter 236 Filial piety

  Although Tang Chu and Lan Dazhuang's engagement today had some problems in the Tang family, the engagement process went on smoothly in the end.

  When leaving Tianshui Village, besides the bicycle and sewing machine, Lan Sibo was alone on Lan Dazhuang's tractor.

  When they went back, Tang Chu and her parents were there.

  Tang Chu's father works in a factory in the county seat, and he goes to the factory to take half a day off in the morning, so when Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo delivered the "three big pieces", he was not at home.

   After the Lan family and Tang Chu's grandmother reached an agreement on the bride price, Tang Chu's father returned from the factory.

  …

  The tractor drove into the village with a 'chug...'.

  The Lan family, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang have been waiting for a long time.

   It was Tang Chu's first visit to Lan's house, and she was even mentally prepared before, thinking that her partner's house might not be very good because it was in the countryside.

  But after she came, she found out that the Lan family lived in a big tiled house with blue bricks that ranked among the best in the village!

   This condition is no worse than her house in the county seat!

  Tang Chu's parents felt a little relieved when they saw the family situation of their future in-laws.

  After Tang and Lan's parents sat down and chatted for a while in the living room of the main room, both Tang Chu's parents had smiles on their faces.

  They really didn't expect that the parents of their future son-in-law were all educated people!

  Especially the son-in-law’s father, whose ancestral home is in Kyoto—

   This time, it directly changed their impression that the son-in-law's family was completely from the village.

  After the communication between the elders of both parties was over, Tang Chu, under the care of Lan Dazhuang, ate something to pad his stomach at home.

  After that, the two families set off for the county together.

  In one morning, the tractor ran back and forth three times.

   Lan Shu had already called and booked a large private room for a dozen people in the most famous hotel in the county.

  Wait for Lan Dazhuang to send them to the place first, then Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu went to Tang's house together, picked up Tang Chu's grandfather, grandmother, uncle, uncle and younger brother, and came to the hotel together.

  In the restaurant, Lan Shu is a regular customer here. She told the kitchen in advance to prepare the dishes, and when the Tang family arrived, they would start serving the dishes immediately.

   Soon, the big table was filled with all kinds of exquisite dishes that can only be found in big restaurants in the county town.

   Tang Chu's parents were very satisfied when they saw that the Lan family had prepared such a level.

  Only Grandma Tang Chu glanced at the dining table, and then asked Lan Dazhuang beside her granddaughter, "How much does this meal cost?"

   How would Lan Dazhuang know this answer?

  He subconsciously turned his head to look at his sister—

  Lan Shu received her eldest brother's questioning gaze, she didn't answer immediately, but turned to look at Grandma Tang Chu, "It's not much money, as long as everyone eats and drinks well at noon today."

  Hearing her words, Grandpa Tang Chu had already started to move his chopsticks, reaching out to pinch the big elbow on the table.

  Grandma Tang Chu didn't intend to start eating. She could tell that Lan Shu, who was the youngest at the dinner table and still a girl, seemed to have a say in the Lan family?

  So she asked again, "Are you the sister of my grandson-in-law who is the director of the factory? If my granddaughter marries your elder brother in the future, you will have to pay our family Tang Chu more in the factory~!"

What she said really made Lan Shu feel disgusted. She had seen before that the old lady had a lukewarm attitude towards her elder brother. 'Have you got a title?

   Lan Shu just glanced at Grandma Tang Chu, but before she could speak, Tang Chu stood up from the seat in front of the table—

   "Grandma! What are you talking about? My current salary is not low, and I will make money on my own! Director Lan is good enough to me."

   Aside, Grandma Tang Chu felt really unpleasant when she heard her granddaughter's words!

  She looked at Tang Chu with complaints in her eyes, "The salary is not low, and I don't see you giving me some every month. Be filial and filial to me."

  Hearing Grandma Tang Chu's words, Lan Shu couldn't help but look a few more times at Grandma Tang Chu's face.

  Before she saw that Tang Chu was so good, she thought that the elders in Tang Chu's family were more enlightened, so they let the girl go to college.

  But now that the elders in Tang Chu's family are in a situation, she can't even imagine how thick-skinned it is to say such a thing?

  Daughters go to work to make money, and they should honor their parents. A grandma still wants to ask her granddaughter for money every month?

  When a granddaughter is willing to spend money for grandma, it is because of love, if not, no one can gossip, after all, the old lady's son is not dead~!

  If the other party is not Tang Chu's own grandma, Lan Shu can't help but want to go straight to her right now!

   But the situation is different today, and the occasion is also different.

  Big brother and Tang Chu's engagement banquet, she had to take Tang Chu's face into consideration.

  So Lan Shu patiently answered Grandma Tang Chu, "Don't worry, Tang Chu is in our factory, I will definitely not treat her badly, after all, we will be a family from now on."

   "As for honoring you, my elder brother is not a person who is not ignorant of etiquette. At the end of each year, he will definitely come to the door with gifts to visit his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and you and Tang Chu's grandfather."

   Lan Shu said this politely and decently, even if she didn't say it, Lan Dazhuang would definitely go to visit Tang Chu's parents during the Chinese New Year.

  So, she agreed to Grandma Tang Chu's filial piety at this moment, which should have been the case, but it sounded nice, but in fact, it didn't allow Grandma Tang Chu to take advantage of it.

   Sure enough, when Grandma Tang Chu heard this, she immediately became unhappy!

   "Just showing filial piety during the Chinese New Year?" Grandma Tang asked dissatisfied.

"if not?"

   Now it was Lan Shu's turn to show a puzzled expression.

   "Do you still want to receive a gift on August 15th?" Lan Shu said suddenly, then changed her voice.

   "Actually, it's okay. After all, August 15th is a big festival. Since you have spoken, I must tell my elder brother that I will go to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law every August 15th, and I will visit you by the way."

   After saying this, he clearly stated that the old lady insisted on asking for a gift, and told the other party that their blue family is generous and can afford this extra gift.

  At the same time, it also cancels the old lady's other festival rituals.

  And the meaning implied by the last sentence 'by the way' can be understood by all the smart people at the dinner table.

   Lan Shu almost said, 'You grandma wants too much! '

  Grandma Tang Chu originally wanted to take advantage of a lot.

  She felt that if her granddaughter joined such a family where the daughter was the factory manager, if she could, she would definitely want to gain some benefits from Lan Shu, the factory manager.

   But now she can see that the female factory director of the Lan family may be rich, but she is really not generous!

   She doesn't want her family to take advantage of her at all!
