TFWYH – Chapter 39 Still complaining

He had clearly seen it himself—there were strips of meat hanging in the courtyard.
They obviously weren’t short on meat.

Even the leftovers in the kitchen looked rich and plentiful.

As for the brother-in-law, he had gone in and taken a look too.
Unlike at the beginning, when the man barely acknowledged them, now he greeted them proactively.

Just moments ago, this younger sister even gave Ling Chen a meat bun—clearly, they weren’t short on money either.

Tang Tiansheng felt relieved.
“Second Brother was worried about you and insisted on coming. I couldn’t talk him out of it.”

Tang Tianyang immediately exposed him without hesitation:
“Only I was worried? Who was the one tossing and turning all night when he found out we were coming today?”

“…”
Ugh, younger brothers are the worst.

Girls really are more lovable!

The two brothers chatted with Tang Wan for a bit, then got up to leave.
They hadn’t come to mooch a meal—just to make sure their sister was doing okay.

Still, before leaving, Tang Tiansheng slipped two taels of silver into Tang Wan’s hand.

She refused to take it, and he got a bit annoyed:
“Just take it. Go buy yourself a few new outfits. Looks like what you’re wearing now is a bit too big.”

“I have money. I don’t need it!”
She could afford new clothes, but she just wanted to wait until she slimmed down a bit before buying.

Besides, ever since Tang Tiansheng got married, that sister-in-law of hers hadn’t exactly been friendly.

Though Tang Wan wasn’t stupid, navigating human relationships was a complicated art.
She hadn’t thought about it that deeply, but now she saw a chance to tattletale.

Who cares who you are—if you made me unhappy, then I’ll make you unhappy.

She glanced sideways at Tang Tiansheng, lowered her head, and started fiddling with her fingers, looking pitiful.

“I wouldn’t dare… Big Sis-in-law got mad when Dad gave me meat. She saw it and scolded me for being shameless and trying to leech off my maiden family.”

Tang Tiansheng: !!
Tang Tianyang: !!

Wait, what?!

“When did this happen?”
Tang Tiansheng’s brows furrowed. His good mood instantly vanished.

Tang Tianyang was even angrier:
“She dared to say that?!”

Tang Wan lowered her head even more.
“Mhm… That’s why I don’t want it. Big Sis-in-law would just yell at me again.”

Seeing their sister like that, the two brothers’ anger boiled straight to their heads.

“Take it! She doesn’t run this family!”
Tang Tiansheng shoved the money into her hand with a stern face.

“Don’t worry, San Ya. I’ll talk to An-shi when I get back.”
Tang Tianyang fumed internally. If it weren’t for the fact that she was his sister-in-law, he would’ve scolded her himself.

Ever since that woman married in, she’d been a constant source of trouble.
She didn’t get along with Tang Wan, and she often snuck money to her gambling addict brother behind the family’s back.

Tang Tiansheng didn’t particularly like that woman either, but he had once tried to live peacefully with her.
He had treated her with respect and turned a blind eye to many things.

But who would’ve thought she’d only grow more arrogant?

This time, he was going to have a serious talk with her.

The two brothers stormed off in a fury.

Tang Wan waved her hand behind them like claws.
“Bye, dear brothers—don’t forget to properly teach that gossiping shrew a lesson!”

But just as she turned around, she was startled to see Madam Jiang standing behind her, looking at her with a helpless expression.

Tang Wan gave her a sweet smile. “Mother~!”

“You, you…” Madam Jiang sighed.
You actually tattled?

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that Tang Wan was capable of pulling something like this.

“Your brother and sister-in-law are going to argue now. Wan-niang, a harmonious family brings prosperity. You shouldn’t have done that.”

Tang Wan blinked, utterly confused.
“Why?”

“…”
Didn’t I just say? That couple is going to fight—and it’s your fault, as the little sister-in-law.
Don’t you feel any guilt at all?

Madam Jiang changed her wording:
“What if your sister-in-law and your brother start fighting?
If it gets really serious, your brother might end up without a wife!”
