TFWYH – Chapter 54 Buying a Car

Li Dashan: “…”

Do you want me to prove it to you or something?

He grumbled inwardly, completely unaware that inside the house, Ling Yu’s handsome face was gradually darkening as he listened.

Nor did he know that Ling Sheng, who hadn’t shown himself for a long time, was currently outside the door, watching with envy.

Ever since that incident, he’d still been running every day, but he hadn’t had the face to appear in front of Tang Wan.

He didn’t know what attitude he should take toward her now.

Ling Sheng lingered for a while, peeking in secretly. Only when Li Dashan was about to come out did he reluctantly leave, vanishing as if he had never been there.

He didn’t know that at the moment he left, Tang Wan glanced faintly toward the doorway before quickly withdrawing her gaze.

Days passed like this, and the amount of fermented bean paste Drunken Immortal Restaurant needed was finally ready.

Ling Yue and Tang Wan went to borrow the village head’s ox cart to transport the jars to the restaurant.

The village head nodded and was about to agree when a sharp, mocking voice cut in: “Borrow? And who knows what they’ll really use it for?”

The two looked up to see the village head’s wife, Aunt Liu, coming in with a basin of freshly washed clothes.

The village head frowned at her. “Can’t you talk properly? What’s with that tone?”

“Heh…” Aunt Liu slammed the basin down, put her hands on her hips, and raised her voice. “Did I say anything wrong? Last time that Li boy borrowed the cart, wasn’t it for her? One day it’s hunting wild boar, the next it’s earth dragons, and did we see even a scrap of meat? Oh, but when they need the cart, suddenly they remember us? Does our Lao Zhao family owe her or something? Why should we let her take advantage?”

“You…”

Ling Yue’s temper flared, and she was about to retort when Tang Wan held her back.

Tang Wan wasn’t unreasonable, and this time, they really were in the wrong. So she said, “Sorry, we’ll rent it this time. How much?”

Aunt Liu sneered, completely unmoved. “Rent? I said no. You hear me? No. If you’re done, get out. Our family doesn’t welcome you.”

“Wife, you—”

“Shut up! I said no, so it’s no. No!”

“…”

The village head could do nothing against this shrew of a wife.

Tang Wan also didn’t want to cause a rift between the old couple.

“Sorry to bother you.” With that, she pulled Ling Yue away.

Once they stepped out of the village head’s yard, Ling Yue exploded. “Sister-in-law, why were you so polite? Aunt Liu and Grandma are both from Liu Village—they’re thick as thieves!”

“So that’s it!” Tang Wan had indeed sensed Aunt Liu’s hostility. Knowing now that she and Old Madam Liu were from the same village explained everything.

Ling Yue sighed at her reaction. “The village’s ox carts are already gone for the morning. Without a cart, how are we going to get the bean paste to town?”

Tang Wan tilted her head in thought, then said bluntly, “Buy a cart!”

Ling Yue: “!!”

You can’t be serious!

But Tang Wan really was serious!

She was a doer—once she decided something, she acted immediately.

She grabbed Ling Yue and went straight to town to find her father.

Her cheap old man had connections; surely he knew someone selling carts.

Tang Hongba was at a loss for words when he heard her request. “You want to buy a cart?”

“Mm!” Tang Wan answered, then added, “The family business needs it.”

Tang Hongba: “…”

It’s only been a short while…

And now she wanted to buy a cart!

It really did seem like his two sons said: their sister wasn’t being mistreated in her in-laws’ home at all—she was living quite comfortably.

What puzzled Tang Hongba most was that even though she was clearly living so well, why hadn’t she put weight back on?

Just look at that little face—oh my, it was even thinner than the last time he’d seen her.
