TFWYH – Chapter 448 Taking advantage of a crisis

Early the next morning, Tang Wan went to the prefectural office together with Ling Yue.

When they arrived, people were already waiting outside the government office.

Besides the village head’s family, there were five or six other households, each looking nervously at the two sisters-in-law.

Tang Wan didn’t waste time chatting. She brought everyone inside to handle the land transfer procedures, completed the paperwork, paid the money, and settled everything in one go.

However, during the registration process, Tang Wan and Ling Yue had a brief disagreement.

Tang Wan wanted to register the land directly under Ling Yue’s name, but Ling Yue firmly refused.

“Elder Sister-in-law, I’m still unmarried. One day I’ll have to get married. I can’t possibly bring all our family property into my husband’s household and benefit them, right? Just write it under Big Brother’s name and divide it according to what we agreed before. After I marry, I’ll keep my personal savings with Mother. If my husband’s family treats me badly, I’ll just divorce him.”

“…You’ve certainly thought this through.”

Since Ling Yue insisted, Tang Wan stopped arguing and registered the land under Ling Yu’s name instead.

Thanks to Yi Zhanhong’s connections, the procedures went quickly.

Before long, without even knowing it, Ling Yu had gained more than thirty additional mu of land.

Only after leaving the government office and receiving their silver did the families finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the money in their hands, each of them smiled so widely their mouths could hardly close.

Some immediately talked about moving into the city.

Others discussed what they planned to buy.

Tang Wan glanced at them before turning to the village head.

“The matter is settled. Thank you all for cooperating.”

The village head waved his hand and sighed.

“It’s nothing… I just feel a little sad. I’ve lived in that bamboo forest my whole life. I really don’t want to move.”

“You don’t have to move if you don’t want to,” Tang Wan replied calmly. “But if you do decide to move, you can sell the homestead to me. I’ll buy it all.”

“…So now you’re taking advantage of the situation?”

The village head immediately lost the desire to continue talking with her and left together with his family.
