As for jealousy, of course she felt a bit of it.
But thinking it over, Tang Wan earned money with her own skills—there was no use being jealous.
When Ling Yue heard Widow Hong’s words, she got even more excited: “Sister-in-law, what is it? Hurry and show me!”
“It’s still being made!” Tang Wan frowned. “We can’t sell it—you wouldn’t be able to protect it!”
“What do you mean?” Ling Yue didn’t react right away.
Tang Wan tried to explain in detail: “We don’t have any backing. Something like this would only bring us trouble!”
This wasn’t the modern world—it was ancient times. Profitable technologies were in the hands of officials and nobles, sometimes even the royal family.
Ordinary people could only do small business. If they tried to go further, it wouldn’t work—and in severe cases, it could even cost them their lives.
Ling Yue felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped on her, instantly sobering her up.
But she still didn’t want to give up any chance to make money.
If Tang Wan really had such a thing in her hands, Ling Yue was certain that in less than a year, she could lead the family out of Xiangxi Town.
What she lacked, however, was the ability to protect it.
Madam Jiang frowned and said, “That’s enough, Yue’er. Our life is already good now. Don’t reach for things beyond your grasp.”
“Mm!” Ling Yue nodded. She had no choice but to give up.
Money was important, but not more important than family.
The whole reason she worked so hard to earn money was for her family.
If they weren’t there, no amount of money would matter.
She wasn’t going to do something so backward as putting the cart before the horse!
Because of this, the atmosphere later became a little awkward.
Widow Hong secretly gave herself a slap—what a fool, always bringing up the wrong things.
Once the beef jerky was packed, Aunt Yang and Widow Hong went home.
Tang Wan went with Aunt Yang to remove Li Wu’s stitches.
This won her Aunt Yang’s endless gratitude again.
Li Wu had recovered well, and he looked much more energetic. He was also very happy to see Tang Wan.
Speaking of the two tigers that had injured him, Li Wu sighed: “I didn’t expect there to be such dangerous animals on the eastern mountain—two of them, no less! I figure no one will dare to go there for a while.”
He said it casually, but she took it to heart!
No one dared go?
Perfect!
If no one went, the mountain would have time to recover. Things that hadn’t grown before would grow again.
After a while, if she went there, she would definitely return with a full harvest!
As for the two tigers—Tang Wan wasn’t afraid at all.
She even imagined whether she could communicate with them and trick them into coming back to guard the house for her!
Her pretty husband was often left at home. If something like today happened again, what would she do?
Better to have a gatekeeper.
Tang Wan had plans upon plans in her head.
After changing Li Wu’s medicine, she got up to take her leave.
Of course, Aunt Yang, after seeing her to the door, couldn’t resist gossiping with her for a while.
Tang Wan: …
Honestly, it wasn’t necessary.
With such a vast collection of “knowledge points,” Aunt Yang could make a living just by selling the villagers’ secrets.
Business would absolutely boom!
When she got home, Tang Wan told Madam Jiang and Ling Yue about Ling Yu’s surgery scheduled for the next day.
Hearing this, Madam Jiang and Ling Yue were overjoyed.
The next day, Madam Jiang stayed home especially to await Doctor Li’s arrival.
Ling Yue, along with Aunt Yang and Widow Hong, went to the shop in town to help.
Not long after they left, Doctor Li arrived.
After exchanging pleasantries with Madam Jiang, he went into the room and specifically called Tang Wan in to assist.
Inside, he examined Ling Yu’s leg. A look of surprise crossed his face, and he secretly glanced at Tang Wan.
Tang Wan pretended not to notice and calmly reminded him, “Master, can we start the surgery now?”
