Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 778 Purpose
After bidding farewell to Boss Wan, Tang Wan finally boarded the carriage driven by Ding Li and returned to the Tang family.

By the time we reached our own hilltop area, it was already getting dark.

Not far from the Tang family's residence, the carriage slowly came to a stop.

Ding Li's low voice came from outside the carriage curtain: "Second Miss, there are two young ladies from the Luo family blocking the way ahead."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wan understood.

She gently lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and saw the two sisters, Luo Qi and Luo Yun, standing prettily by the roadside.

Both sisters wore embarrassed smiles, and even the usually lively and cheerful Luo Yun seemed a little flustered.

"Sister Wan!" Upon seeing Tang Wan appear, Luo Yun, who was slightly younger, called out first, her voice a little hesitant.

Luo Qi stepped forward and gave a proper bow before saying, "Sister Wan, I apologize for stopping your car."

Tang Wan got off the carriage and looked at the two sisters.

Last year, the Luo family was exiled to the northern desert along with the Tan family. They stayed at the Tang family's house for a period of time. At that time, they often did needlework with Tang Jing. Tang Wan and the others also often got together, so they were quite familiar with each other.

Although the Luo family has moved to their newly built house, they live not far away, and the two families have not truly severed ties.

Even though the Wu family had gone too far back then, when Luo's eldest brother was in danger, he did not stand idly by but provided help without hesitation.

Their presence here at this moment is self-evident; they are most likely sent by their parents to inquire about news of the new crop.

Their purpose was the same as that of the gentlemen and ladies who came to their homes to inquire.

Even so, Tang Wan did not intend to make things difficult for them, because there was absolutely no need to.

Tang Wan said gently, "Sister Qi, Sister Yun, there's no need for such formalities. Is there something you need?"

Luo Qi and Luo Yun exchanged a glance, their faces flushing slightly.

Luo Yun, being more straightforward, muttered softly, "My parents insisted that we come and ask..."

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Qi gently tugged at her sleeve.

Luo Qi took over the conversation, her tone apologetic: "Sister Wan, we heard that you've been busy these past few days and returned today, so we sisters waited here specifically to ask how you've been."

That was such a clumsy question that even she felt her face burning.

They had indeed gathered information, but when they actually met the person, they found it difficult to speak. Helpless, they could only shamelessly ramble on about trivial matters.

Unable to express their true intentions and lacking other topics, they can only offer trivial excuses that are easily dismissed as hastily made up.

Seeing their reactions, Tang Wan smiled slightly and replied, "Thank you for your concern, sisters. Everything is fine. I just returned from the prefectural capital and am a little tired. Please give my regards to Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo."

She avoided mentioning any sensitive topics, and while her attitude was friendly, it carried a sense of distance.

Seeing this, Luo Qi and Luo Yun breathed a sigh of relief. They had managed to get the job done without offending Tang Wan, which was the best possible outcome.

Since her elder brother's accident, Tang Wan has demonstrated extraordinary abilities. Now, she is becoming increasingly cautious around Tang Wan, afraid of going too far and angering her, fearing that her family might not be able to bear the consequences.

Hearing Tang Wan say that, Luo Yun instantly felt relieved, even though the other woman's attitude wasn't very friendly. She quickly replied, "Sister Wan, go home and rest. We won't bother you." Luo Yun didn't dare say anything more, just kept nodding, clearly agreeing with her older sister.

Tang Wan smiled slightly and then said in a friendly greeting, "My two younger sisters should also hurry back; it's getting dark and not safe outside."

The two sisters nodded hurriedly in agreement, said goodbye to Tang Wan, and left in high spirits. After all, they could explain things to their parents, so how could they not be happy?

Watching their departing figures, Tang Wan gently shook her head and boarded the carriage again.

As soon as Tang Wan stepped off the carriage, Wang Shi, who had already received the news, came out to greet her with Tang Jing, and Tang Mubai also came out.

"Wan'er's back!" Madam Wang stepped forward and took Tang Wan's hand, looking her up and down with concern in her eyes. "You've been away for several days by yourself, it must have been tiring, right? It's all because of all the troubles at home..."

She genuinely felt that her second daughter had sacrificed too much for the family. It was indeed her daughter who discovered these two plants, and the credit should be shared by the whole family in the future. However, when something happened, she would push the blame onto the children, and she couldn't even go home.

It's also because the master is incompetent; he makes his second daughter shoulder everything herself.

Before Tang Wan could say anything, Tang Jing took her other arm and said softly, "Sister, you've lost some weight. Are you not used to the food in the prefecture?"

Even Tang Mubai, who is usually lively and carefree, bowed respectfully and called out "Second Sister," his expression seemingly somewhat worried.

Tang Wan finally had a chance to speak, and replied softly, "Mother, sister, Mu Bai, I'm not tired, don't worry."

As they walked into the house, asking questions, Tang Wan saw that although her father, Tang Bojun, was not personally greeting her at the door, he was standing under the porch of the main house, looking at her.

Tang Bojun didn't say much, but nodded slightly and looked at Tang Wan with gentle eyes.

This kind of attention and care warmed Tang Wan's heart.

Tang Wan responded with a smile, her tone relaxed, "Father, I'm back. I'm fine. I'm doing well in the prefecture. I can also take care of things at the shop."

As soon as Tang Wan entered the room, Madam Wang gestured for Hongyu to leave, as dinner had already been prepared.

Before the meal, everyone chatted amongst themselves, constantly asking about her situation in the prefecture. Tang Wan chose to talk about some lighthearted things.

After dinner, they talked for a while, and then Tang Bojun told the two sisters to go back to their rooms to rest early.

Tang Wan and Tang Jing walked side by side toward their house.

Tang Jing spoke softly, asking, "Little sister, if something like this happens again, let your older sister go with you. At least you'll have someone with you."

Tang Jing only found out that Tang Wan had been hiding away these past few days after Tang Wan left. If she had known earlier that Tang Wan was hiding, she would never have let Tang Wan go out alone. Even if she couldn't do anything, she would feel at ease knowing that the two sisters were together at home, and she would feel at ease too.

Tang Wan turned her head to look at her sister. Under the moonlight, Tang Jing's face looked even more gentle. Her heart softened. Who would have thought that her sister, who used to dislike her, would care about her so much now?

I don't know if my purpose in traveling here is to experience the joy of family reunion, since I never met my parents when I was young and only depended on my grandfather.

Thinking of this, Tang Wan took her sister's arm, leaned on her shoulder, and said with unusual sentimentality, "Don't worry, sister, I'm really fine. As long as our family is together and safe and sound, this little thing is nothing."

The two sisters smiled at each other and went back to their room together.

After a sleepless night, Tang Wan started dealing with household chores early the next morning. After dinner last night, her mother, Wang, returned all the account books, keys, and other items that Tang Wan had taken over to her without keeping her for long. However, just as she finished dealing with the household matters, the bell rang to contact Boss Wan.
