TFWYH – Chapter 383 Family Reunion

If she punched them, wouldn’t they be smashed to pieces?

After witnessing Tang Wan’s monstrous strength, the refugees all scattered in panic and quickly vanished.

Tang Wan dusted off her hands, climbed back onto the cart, and said, “Let’s go!”

Taxue gave a cry and continued toward Huanshan Village.

Ling Sheng and Shen Xiaozi, who had witnessed everything: …

They held their chins, closed their hanging jaws, and stiffly pulled their gazes back.

At that moment, they suddenly felt that their earlier panic had been completely idiotic.

Shen Xiaozi even quietly lagged a few steps behind, keeping some distance from Tang Wan, while frantically complaining in his heart.

Ling Yu is already black-hearted enough — and the wife he found is just as fierce!

Thinking back to the medical fees Tang Wan had withheld from him last time, he now felt she had actually shown mercy.

…

As soon as the horse cart and mule cart entered Huanshan Village, they ran into a group of people carrying bundles and preparing to leave with their families.

When they saw Tang Wan, they all froze.

“Wan-niang, why are you here?” Shen Dahan was the first to recover and ask.

Tang Wan replied, “Delivering warmth.”

Shen Dahan: ?

Not understanding what she meant, he looked questioningly at Ling Sheng.

Ling Sheng opened his mouth to explain, but before he could speak, Shen Xiaozi quickly said, “Shen Shu, where’s my father?”

“Huh? Your father? At home, I think.”

“Thanks!”

After thanking him, Shen Xiaozi could hardly wait any longer.

Fortunately Tang Wan didn’t delay. She patted Taxue, and the horse snorted and headed straight toward the village head’s house on its own.

Watching the horse and mule carts move farther away, Shen Dahan and the others looked at each other.

“So… are we still fleeing the famine?”

“Flee my foot! Two whole carts that big — it’s got to be grain!”

“Come on, come on, let’s go see!”

…

If not driven by desperation, who would willingly leave their homeland?

Villages weren’t like towns — fewer people. When the earthquake struck, many villagers had been working in the fields, so there were hardly any injured.

If it weren’t for the later locust plague that devoured all the crops, they wouldn’t have left home at all.

Those still remaining in the village were families with stored grain in their cellars.

As for the others…

But now things seemed different — there was hope.

The group immediately gave up the idea of fleeing and quietly followed behind Tang Wan.

As the cart passed through the village, more villagers joined behind it, asking what was going on. Some overly familiar ones even tried to strike up friendly relations with Tang Wan.

Tang Wan had no interest in dealing with them.

Shen Xiaozi was too eager to see his parents to bother either.

Only Ling Sheng responded now and then, out of neighborly courtesy.

They soon arrived at the village head’s house.

When they got there, the village head and his wife were just heading out with their bundles.

“Dad! Mom!” Seeing they were safe and sound, Shen Xiaozi’s heart finally settled. He jumped down and ran to them.

Aunt Liu stared at her son for a few seconds, then her eyes quickly filled with tears.

“My—my son!” She hugged him and burst into tears. “Your father and I were just about to go to town to look for you. Thank the Bodhisattva you’re safe — if anything had happened to you, how could I go on living?”

“It’s good you’re safe, good you’re safe!” The village head turned away to wipe his tears before looking past him. “Where’s your wife? Why didn’t she come back with you?”

Seeing how frightened his parents were, Shen Xiaozi quickly explained, “She’s fine — just not fully recovered yet, so I let her stay in town.”

“Good, good!” The old couple finally let out a deep sigh of relief.

“Oh right, Dad!” Shen Xiaozi pulled the village head over to Tang Wan. “Wan-niang came on behalf of the authorities to deliver grain this time. Look — all this was sent for our village by the magistrate.”
