TFWYH – Chapter 334 Black-hearted

Tang Wan nodded. “It’s been delivered.”

“Really…” Aunt Liu pressed her lips together, then asked hesitantly, “Then… then are those two children doing well now?”

Hearing this, Tang Wan looked at her with a hint of sympathy.

Aunt Liu’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly grabbed Tang Wan’s hand. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

Tang Wan frowned and glanced at the hand being held, then told her everything honestly—that Shen Xiao-ge’s wife had miscarried and the miscarriage hadn’t been completely cleared out, but that she had now escaped danger.

“That’s how it is. From now on, having children will be difficult—it’ll depend on luck.”

Aunt Liu’s face instantly turned pale, and tears poured out at once. “It’s my fault, all my fault! If it weren’t for me, that child wouldn’t have ended up like this… boohoo…”

Tang Wan panicked. She hated seeing people cry in front of her.

She quickly took out two pieces of candy and handed them to Aunt Liu, saying, “If you’re worried, go take care of her. Your son is a man—it’s inconvenient for him!”

“But… but I’m afraid the child still blames me. I don’t dare go…”

“There’s no grudge between mother and child that lasts overnight. If you did something wrong, then change it. Don’t just do nothing!”

Hearing this, Aunt Liu felt it made sense too. What good was regret? The harm was already done—she could only think of ways to make it up.

“Thank you,” Aunt Liu said, taking the candy. “I’ll tidy up later, tell the old man, and then go to town!”

Tang Wan nodded. In truth, she wasn’t very good at comforting people.

Luckily Aunt Liu was sensible. After speaking, she went off to the village head’s place and didn’t keep pestering Tang Wan with questions.

Tang Wan glanced at her handsome husband not far away and slowly shuffled toward him step by step.

Just then, Li Dashan came over again, bringing Meng Shi with him.

“Wan-niang, Meng Shi says he wants to go to town to find some work!” Li Dashan said, looking a bit embarrassed.
“My parents and I are country folk and not very educated. Meng Shi has studied before, so I thought of letting him go help out at the estate.”

Meng Shi was also quite nervous. Seeing Tang Wan look at him, he hurriedly said, “Wan-niang, I’ll work hard and won’t cause you any trouble!”

“…You’re all so annoying.”

Tang Wan immediately called Ling Yue over. “Ask her!”

After saying that, she ran off to stand beside her beautiful husband.

Ling Yue: ?

What’s going on?

Ling the beauty glanced at her faintly and silently lifted his foot to leave.

Tang Wan quickly grabbed his sleeve and wouldn’t let him go.

The corners of Ling Yu’s lips curved up slightly, then quickly flattened again as he stood there calmly, pretending nothing had happened.

After finishing the ancestral rites, the group headed back home.

Ling Yue agreed to take Meng Shi in. Before leaving, she brought him along as well, letting him first get familiar with the environment. If he felt he could do the job, they would later bring Grandpa Meng to live at the estate.

This gesture earned Meng Shi’s deep gratitude.

Several carriages drove out of Huanshan Village in sequence.

Suddenly, a voice called out.

“Boss! Boss! Wait for your mother!”

Ling Canghe frowned and lifted the curtain to look back, only to see Old Madam Liu chasing after the carriage.

Knowing very well what his mother was like, Ling Canghe didn’t want to pay attention. But Old Madam Liu was running too fast—her left foot tripped over her right, and she fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Ling Canghe’s expression changed. He quickly told Dashan to stop the carriage, jumped down, and ran toward her.

“Mother, are you alright?” Ling Canghe reached out to help her up.

But Old Madam Liu fiercely slapped his hand away, jumped to her feet, pointed at him, and started scolding, “What do you mean by that? I ran for so long and you pretended you couldn’t hear me, huh? You heartless thing—are you planning to abandon your own mother?”

Ling Canghe’s face immediately darkened. “You were pretending?”

Old Madam Liu snorted coldly, very pleased with herself. “If I didn’t pretend, how would you have come down?”
