TFWYH – Chapter 26 Mother is Angry

“Forget about the fifty wen!”

Four taels?

Tang Tianyang winced with pain. He hesitated for a while, face full of inner conflict, then finally opened his mouth.

He was about to say he’d find a way to pay for it.

But before he could speak, Tang Wan had already taken out a few pieces of silver and handed them to Old Hu.

“Thank you, Uncle!”

“…” Now she calls me Uncle? Not blind anymore, huh?

Old Hu chuckled, took the silver, bit into it to check, and only after confirming it was real did he say, “Alright! Come pick it up in twenty days.”

Tang Wan thanked him again before leaving with Tang Tianyang.

Tang Tianyang was a bit dejected—he hadn’t even gotten the chance to show off in front of his sister.

As soon as they stepped outside, Tang Tianyang frowned. “Where’d you get the money?”

“I earned it!”

“How?” Tang Tianyang’s tone suddenly turned serious. “Tang Sanya, I’m warning you—don’t go messing around out there. If you’re short on money, just tell your brother. I still have some savings.”

Clearly, his thoughts had gone to a darker place, and his voice sounded a bit stern.

But anyone could tell—his concern for his sister was real.

Tang Wan felt warm inside, a little moved.

“I know. Thank you!”

“Pfft, married not long and you’re already being polite. You treating your own brother like an outsider now?”

The siblings chatted and bickered as they walked further into the sunset, their shadows stretched long by the golden light.

Tang Wan felt that the Tang family really had loved the original host dearly. Whether it was the father or the second brother, even the eldest brother whom she hadn’t met yet—in the original host’s memories, they had all treated her very well.

The three men of the Tang family had truly doted on the original.

How lucky!

Tang Wan smiled, her mood lifted.

She didn’t know that after seeing her off at the city gate, Tang Tianyang’s expression immediately darkened.

Little sister’s gotten thinner.

And it’s only been a few days?

Tsk!

If he had known this would happen, he never would’ve let her marry that weakling brat. His little sister couldn’t even eat properly now, losing weight like this.

Worried, Tang Tianyang later brought it up to Tang Hongba.

Tang Hongba immediately decided to send the two older sons with meat to visit the next day—to see whether their daughter was being mistreated.

Hopefully not.

But if she was, he swore he’d beat that weakling Ling Yu until his face bloomed like a peach blossom. Or he wasn’t a Tang!

Tang Wan knew nothing about the father and sons’ plan.

She also didn’t realize that even after she’d pulled out four taels of silver, her second brother still thought she was being abused.

By the time she got home, mother and daughter had already calmed down. Ling Yue seemed fine—just looked like someone recovering from a fright. Normal.

But Jiang Shi? Not so normal.

When she saw Tang Wan return, she actually glared at her—for the first time ever—then turned and went straight back into the house.

Tang Wan was stunned, glancing at Ling Yue as if to ask, What’s going on?

Ling Yue stepped closer and whispered, “The Li family father and son came by earlier and brought us some eggs. Ling Sheng also told them about how you hunted the ‘Earth Dragon.’ Once Mother heard, she got really mad.”

Tang Wan blinked, confused. “Why mad?”

“My dear sister-in-law, that’s an Earth Dragon! King of all snakes! Normal folks run for their lives just at the sight of it. But you? A girl, actually went after it. You don’t even care about your own life? Of course Mother’s mad!”

Just talking about that snake still gave Ling Yue chills.

It was thick and long—forget girls, even grown men would be terrified.

And Tang Wan? According to Ling Sheng, she’d just rolled up her sleeves and gone at it.

Unbelievable…

Tang Wan was silent for a moment. So this is what human concern feels like?

Kind of nice.

She shoved the basket into Ling Yue’s arms and strode off toward Jiang Shi’s room.

Ling Yue sighed—just as she was about to complain, she caught a glimpse of what was in the basket.

That pattern…

Isn’t that the snake meat?
