TFWYH – Chapter 30 Beauty is misleading

Why was she pinching herself?
Tang Wan didn’t know either. It’s just that… for some reason, every time she was around her pretty husband, her IQ dropped.
Beauty ruins people!

Ling Yu glanced at her with a half-smile but didn’t say anything. He obediently lay down and closed his eyes.
Let’s see what this little woman’s planning to do after I fall asleep.

Ling Yu had it all planned out.

But before long, a deep wave of drowsiness swept over him, and he couldn’t fight it—he completely passed out.

Once he was fast asleep, Tang Wan quietly got out of bed. With a flip of her palm, an antibiotic vial, a fresh IV set, and a bottle of iodine appeared out of thin air.

Working swiftly, she connected the tubing, hung the IV bottle by the headboard, disinfected the back of Ling Yu’s hand, and inserted the needle for the drip.

Then she sat by the bed, silently keeping watch until the third watch of the night (around midnight), before removing the bottle and tube.

She wasn’t done yet—Tang Wan pressed on the tiny puncture on his hand to make sure there’d be no bleeding. Only after that did she snuff out the calming incense.

Finally, she confirmed everything was in order before climbing back into bed and falling into a deep sleep.

Which meant—she woke up very late the next morning.

So late, in fact, that she completely missed breakfast.

Ling Yue noticed she hadn’t gotten up for a long time and wanted to wake her several times, but each time, Madam Jiang stopped her.

“From now on, don’t bother your sister-in-law. She’s been tired out. Let her sleep in.”

“Oh…”
Ling Yue nodded, half understanding.

Inside the room, Ling Yu, who overheard this: …

I wasn’t that desperate, thank you!

Ling Yu gave the still-sleeping Tang Wan a complicated look, then turned to glance at the tiny puncture on the back of his hand.
He fell into deep thought.

Ever since Tang Wan dragged that massive snake home, the whole village had been terrified.

Many people went home that day and mentally reviewed whether they had ever offended her. Only after confirming they hadn’t did they breathe a huge sigh of relief.

But the Lao Ling family couldn’t relax at all.

That day, Old Lady Liu had personally witnessed Tang Wan carrying the enormous snake on her shoulders—and fainted from sheer terror.

When she woke up, she immediately fell ill!

That image of Tang Wan dragging the thick snake home became a recurring nightmare—every time she closed her eyes, it haunted her.

Qian-shi (Ling Yu’s aunt-in-law) was even more terrified.

After being fiercely put in her place by Tang Wan, she had originally held onto a grudge and wanted to get revenge.

But now?
She didn’t even have the nerve to try anymore. No way she was more vicious than that snake.

Tang Wan could kill something that terrifying—what chance did she, a mere aunt-in-law, have?

Still, that didn’t stop her from harboring resentment toward Tang Wan in her heart.

That morning, after Ling Sheng finished running five laps, he returned home with his stomach growling loudly.

Just as he stepped into the kitchen, he overheard a conversation between his little sister and their mother.

Yes—he had a younger sister, too.

Ling Xiaofang, fourteen years old, already at a marriageable age.

She was always dolled up in flashy colors, especially fond of wearing pink from head to toe.

But her skin was already dark, and pink only made her look darker.

The older she grew, the more snide and passive-aggressive she became. And… well, for various reasons, Ling Sheng found her extremely annoying.

Still, she was his sister. As long as she didn’t cross any major lines, he was willing to help her out.

But this time, she had really gone too far.

What Ling Sheng couldn’t tolerate was her outright hostility toward Tang Wan.

Take now, for instance—his bratty little sister was feeding their mom poison with her words.

“That fat cow is just using Grandma. Back when she wanted to marry Brother Yu, she tried every trick in the book to suck up to her. Now that she’s gotten what she wanted, Grandma’s worthless to her.”

“And Grandma too, really—sold Brother Yu for just five taels! With how good-looking he is, don’t even say five taels—even that Peachy Girl from Doctor Zhang’s house would probably shell out ten taels for him!”

“Tang Wan isn’t just fat and ugly—she’s dirt poor! I heard that before she got married, she used to steal silver from her own family. Her butcher father? She drained all his money! Why do you think her second brother’s still single to this day? What else could it be—they’re broke!”
