TFWYH – Chapter 76 Happy Sharing

After Ling Laoda finished speaking and saw Tang Wan remain silent, he sighed and continued:

“I only have this one son, of course I want the best for him. I once sent him to school, but he’s not cut out for studying—instead, he’s interested in blades, spears, and staves. I’m just a country man with no connections, so I can’t send him to learn proper martial arts. And besides, he’s already nineteen—even if I had the means, no one would take him.”

“Got it! I’ll teach him!”
Tang Wan originally hadn’t wanted to bother with that stubborn lad, but since her uncle had said all this—and even helped them find a shop—she agreed.

Ling Laoda smiled when he heard her answer:

“Then I’ll entrust my son to you.”

Getting what he wanted, Ling Laoda left satisfied.

As for whether Tang Wan really knew martial arts, he didn’t think it necessary to test her anymore.

Every time this girl went into the mountains, she came back loaded with goods—and there were even plum blossom stakes in her courtyard!

Not only that, but perhaps they themselves hadn’t noticed—Ling Chen had grown much more agile than before.

Why would a butcher’s daughter know martial arts? He didn’t care—he just wanted her to agree to teach his son.

When Tang Wan returned, mother and daughter had already finished washing the dishes.

Jiang-shi was still marveling over how Ling Laoda was actually a pretty decent person, saying she’d misjudged him before and so on.

Tang Wan listened quietly while chopping up large yellow leaves she had brought back, mixing in some medicinal herbs for Treading Snow.

Little Ling Chen spotted this and immediately ran over, insisting on feeding it himself.

Tang Wan smiled, yielded her spot to him, and went to change the medicine for her handsome husband.

Ever since Ling Yu had begun suspecting Tang Wan, he kept the doors and windows open so he could hear and see everything happening outside.

Ling Laoda had even come by in person, bringing so many things…

“Your uncle doesn’t get up early without a reason—if he’s willing to help, he must be after something,” he said, fixing Tang Wan with a steady look.

Tang Wan paused in her movements, then resumed as if nothing had happened:

“After what?”

“That’s what you should tell me.” Ling Yu’s gaze turned meaningful.

Tang Wan stayed calm, steady as an old dog:

“No idea!”

Seeing she didn’t want to elaborate, Ling Yu dropped the topic and instead asked about Uncle Li’s family.

Tang Wan didn’t give details—only mentioned that Doctor Zhang was a fraud, and brushed off Li Wu’s injury with a casual, “It’s not that serious.”

Ling Yu nodded, not pressing further:

“Uncle Li’s family are good people—help them when you can.”

Tang Wan agreed, especially liking Auntie Yang, who had told her plenty of juicy village gossip.

It was deliciously entertaining!

Happiness is better shared than kept to oneself—joy is meant to be spread.

Thinking of what Auntie Yang had said, Tang Wan’s blunt-girl tendencies flared. She climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged, and whispered mysteriously:

“Auntie Yang knows a lot of secrets!”

“Oh?”

“Doctor Zhang is having an affair with Widow Hong.”

“…”

“Your uncle is good at martial arts!”

“??”

“He made your aunt cry out loud!”

“!!”

“And also—”

“Shut up!”

Ling Yu’s face darkened instantly, teeth grinding:

“Are you even a woman?”

Tang Wan patted her chest and nodded seriously:

“Yes!”

“…”

“Want to find out?” Tang Wan suddenly asked with bright, expectant eyes.

Ling Yu: …

No.

Absolutely not.

I’m afraid you’d crush me!

Because of her weight, Tang Wan ultimately didn’t get to “find out.”

A pity!

Still no chance to sleep with her beautiful husband!

In truth, she had already lost quite a bit of weight—Jiezi was helping improve her constitution, and in a short time, she had shed nearly ten jin.

Tang Wan was completely confident that within three months, she would definitely succeed in slimming down!
