Chapter 1307 Returning Home in Glory 1
Tan Yue had already taken the small wallet over. Tan You opened it, took out ten 100-yuan bills, and handed them to Wang Hunu: "We'll spend this money today. We won't go home until it's all gone."

Wang Hu's eyes widened: "So much money? It's such a waste to give it to them."

"For your grandfather's sixtieth birthday, your three great-uncles pooled their money to buy a clock. Your third great-aunt saw that the clock was new and couldn't bear to part with it, so she brought over an old clock from her home. They were so generous, why should we buy them so many things?"

"What a waste of money!"

Tan You chuckled, thinking that although the old lady had a lot of flaws, she was quite interesting at times. At least she was very protective of Tan Deming. For example, when his younger brothers gave him a grandfather clock on his birthday, the old lady got very angry and would bring it up whenever she had a chance.

Tan You whispered to Wang Hu Nu, "You should buy more things, otherwise you won't be able to show off anything when you get back. Just treat it as spending money to have fun; as long as you're happy, that's enough."

Tan Deming chimed in, "We'll listen to Youzi and do whatever she says."

"Alright, I'll do as you say." Between feeling bad about the money and wanting to show off at her parents' home, Wang Hu'er chose the latter. As she said this, the old lady's brows furrowed with worry.

Even though she knew Tan You made money easily, the old lady still couldn't bring herself to spend money on people she didn't get along with.

With Wang Hu's personality—ignorant, domineering, unforgiving, mean, stingy, and prone to arguing—she really couldn't get along with anyone. Of course, in Tan You's memory, her great-uncle and great-aunt weren't exactly good people either.

What kind of good people are these people who give Tan Deming a clock as a birthday gift, especially an old clock that they used at home?
Even the most clueless person should know that you shouldn't give clocks as birthday gifts.

Thinking of this, Tan You gave Wang Hunu a suggestion: "We should spend money to make them happy, and let them know that our grandparents are living a good life."

As she spoke, she winked at Tan Deming: "Take another 1000 later, we'll definitely make a big show of it."

Wang Hunu clutched her chest, swaying precariously: "Spend more money? We can't spend any more. How much money would that cost? That much money would be enough for your grandfather and me to buy meat and vegetables for two months."

Tan Yue came over and took Wang Hu's hand: "The most important thing today is that we're happy! Let's go!"

She dragged Wang Hunu out, and Tan You watched her retreating figure, a smile gradually spreading across her face. Tan Yue's personality was somewhat like Tan Lin's, but she was more perceptive and particularly clever.

Tan Deming, lagging behind, muttered to Tan You, "It's really worth spending 2000 yuan on them."

“It’s not for them,” Tan You corrected, “It’s for our grandma, it’s money to make her happy. As for who gets these things, that’s none of our business.”

"Her happiness is the most important thing."

She knew, of course, that it wasn't worth spending the money on gifts for her great-uncle and great-aunt, but the emotional value was priceless. If it could make Wang Hu's daughter feel proud, Tan You was willing to do it for her.

Tan Deming smacked his lips: "Just like when your second grandfather came back, even if you didn't like him, you still gave him the ginseng tea?"

Tan You gave a thumbs up, knowing that the old man understood her thoughts.

Tan Deming laughed and patted Tan You's arm: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll make sure your grandma is happy today. For so many years, she's been unable to hold her head up in her own family. In the end, it's because I'm incompetent."

He had poor eyesight and was in poor health. As a rural man, he couldn't work in the fields. In the eyes of his brothers-in-law, he was a hopeless case.

Tan You took the old man's arm and said, "You raised me, that's your greatest blessing." Tan Deming laughed heartily, finding his eldest granddaughter's words so pleasing to the ear.

The four of them went on a shopping spree at the market. Tan Deming's electric scooter and Tan You's electric scooter were both loaded with various gift boxes and ingredients. Wang Hunu sat on the back of Tan Deming's tricycle, smiling like a trumpet flower waving in the wind, her whole body radiating smug satisfaction.

Tan Yue stood on Tan You's footboard and whispered to Tan You, "Grandma is very happy."

Tan You chuckled: "Of course she's happy to return home in glory."

Although it wasn't Wang Hu's own glory, it made her elders happy to show off and even feel proud, which Tan You thought was great.

Even if Wang Hunu had a thousand flaws, it was an undeniable fact that Tan You had been indebted to Wang Hunu for raising her over the years. Now, making Wang Hunu happy was simply a matter of spending some money, which Tan You felt was worthwhile.

Tan Yue didn't quite understand the meaning of returning home in glory, but she felt that Wang Hunu was more pleasing to the eye than ever before.

Wang Hu's first stop was her second brother Wang Chuanxi's house, where she was closest to her brother's wife, Ding Yueqin. Tan You also liked her second great-aunt very much; she was a rare kind and gentle person, what people commonly call a pushover.

Seeing Wang Hunu unloading various gift boxes from the car, the second aunt repeatedly refused, saying, "Why did you buy so many things? Take them back and return them..."

Even the usually fierce Wang Hu was much more amiable in front of Ding Yueqin: "Take it if you want. I specially brought you a few clothes. They were all bought for me by Tan You before. They're a bit too big for me, so I brought them for you."

She walked into Ding Yueqin's room without any hesitation, and took out two coats and two pairs of pants.

Ding Yueqin stroked the clothes: "The fabric is all very good. Did Tan You buy it for you? She's still a child..."

Wang Hunu finally found someone to brag to, and whispered to Ding Yueqin beside her. Tan You shrugged helplessly, and simply pulled Tan Yue along to go out and sort out the gifts.

The gifts can't be delivered to our door. If my eldest and third maternal uncles wanted to, they would come to my second maternal uncle's house themselves. If they don't, then they'll all go to my second maternal aunt.

Tan You was dragging a half-eaten pig, gathering her strength to carry it to the kitchen, when suddenly her hand felt light as a kind-looking young man lifted her up: "Youzi, I'll do this job."

After seeing who it was, Tan You immediately smiled: "Jiajing-ge, you're home today?"

Wang Jiajing shook the fishing rod in his hand: "You went fishing this morning, why didn't you call back? What if your sister Jing and I weren't home today?"

Tan You followed him toward the kitchen: "I can call you back if I'm not home."

"I heard that Sister Jing had a baby boy, but I've been busy with school and haven't had time to come over. Where's your nephew? He should be about three years old by now, right?"

Liu Jing carried a little boy out of the bedroom: "Here he is. Qiangqiang's aunt is back. I woke him up because he hasn't seen his aunt yet."

Tan You rubbed the boy's forehead; the child was still a little sleepy. "Let him sleep. It's the same whether we see him or not when he wakes up."

As she spoke, Tan You took out a red envelope from her coat pocket and stuffed it into Qiangqiang's hand: "This is a gift from your aunt for our first meeting. You must keep it safe, no one else has one, only Qiangqiang does."
