TFWYH – Chapter 385 Everyone Gets a Share

As soon as Tang Wan finished speaking, the villagers erupted in an uproar.

Even the village head was excited.

“One jin of mung beans can sprout into ten jin of bean sprouts like this? Is that true?”

“They mature in four to seven days? Are you sure?”

“If that’s the case, we won’t have to starve.”

…

“It’s true!” As soon as Tang Wan spoke, the noisy villagers quieted down again. “Bean sprouts are already common in town. After you collect your shares, Ling Sheng will teach you how to sprout them. Now line up properly and get your food from the village head. Everyone gets a share — don’t cause trouble. Uncle Shen, I’ll keep the records, you distribute the grain.”

“Alright, alright! You two come help as well. Everyone line up!” The village head rolled up his sleeves and called his wife and son over to help.

The villagers quickly formed a line.

With Tang Wan there, everyone behaved obediently.

Putting everything else aside, they didn’t dare not behave.

Tang Wan was a female killing god — who would dare?

Villagers who arrived later immediately joined the line too.

After all, Tang Wan had said everyone would get a share.

…

At this time, Little Shen was outside catching locusts.

Ever since marrying Ling Family’s third son, she had regretted it.

Ling Third was damn unlucky — like a corpse, lying in bed day after day, wheezing his last. Even when it came to bed matters, he was useless, done in barely ten-odd seconds.

Old Madam Liu was no better, ordering her around all day long. If she dared slack off even a bit, she’d get scolded.

If she didn’t work, she wouldn’t be given food.

Especially this morning, after learning that her natal family had fled as refugees, Old Madam Liu treated her even worse and actually sent her out to catch locusts.

Under normal circumstances, Little Shen would have already fought with Old Madam Liu.

She had a father, a mother, and brothers backing her up — she had plenty of confidence.

But now, her natal family had all left.

Little Shen had originally wanted to leave with them too, but she was coveting Old Madam Liu’s money.

Don’t think she didn’t know — Ling Canghe had given Old Madam Liu quite a lot of silver, at least a hundred taels.

Without getting that money, she wasn’t leaving!

Once she found where Old Madam Liu hid the money — hmph!

As Little Shen was brooding darkly, Shen Shi arrived.

The moment she saw her, Shen Shi hurried over and grabbed her. “Why are you still standing around here? Hurry and come with me!”

“Mom! You haven’t left yet? Ai, I’m not going. I’m getting that dead old woman’s money — don’t pull me!”

Little Shen struggled and shook off Shen Shi’s hand.

She’d suffered so much — how could she just leave like this?

“I’m not taking you to flee the famine, I’m taking you to the village head’s place. You don’t know — that Wan-niang brought a lot of food…” Shen Shi quickly explained how Tang Wan had come to deliver relief.

Little Shen was stunned for a few seconds. When she came to her senses, she exploded with anger. “What’s wrong with that woman? She has food but doesn’t show filial piety to her grandmother, and instead gives it to outsiders? No, no — I’m going back to tell that dead old woman and have her settle accounts with that woman!”

“Oh, stop it already!” Shen Shi grabbed her, annoyed. “That dead old woman can’t do anything to Wan-niang. What’s the point of finding her? Your father already said you’re not allowed to cause trouble for Wan-niang anymore! Hurry and come with me to collect food.”

Little Shen knew this too, but she couldn’t swallow this anger.

Huh?

Right!

Thinking of the money Old Madam Liu had hidden, Little Shen’s eyes rolled, and she immediately came up with an idea.

She stopped struggling and let her mother half-drag her away.

Soon they arrived at the village head’s house. Little Shen forcibly restrained her impatience and obediently lined up.

But when she saw Tang Wan, she froze completely.

Th-this… that fat woman?

How had she slimmed down so much?
