The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

"Then what do you want?" For the first time, You Yuan felt that he was like a scholar encountering a soldier, unable to reason with him, let alone the fact that the other party was a shallow and unreasonable village woman.

Seeing that You Yuan was angered by her, Du Mingxian felt relieved. "I'll go get some paper and pen. You write down some tips for passing the imperial examination. If you get them right, you can use your knowledge to repay my life-saving grace. If you don't get them right, I'll just throw you into town and break your legs."

You Yuan was also enraged. "I'm being chased by my enemies. You just dump me in town. When they find me, they'll know you saved me. Then you and your family will probably not escape death."

"Oh dear, really? I'm so scared." Du Mingxian said she was scared, but her face showed no fear at all. "In that case, I'll just kill you. The back mountain is such a big place, I can bury you anywhere. Who will know that I killed you? Anyway, your enemies have also killed the old you, so no one will be able to find my family."

You Yuan was so angry he felt like vomiting. He had already put himself on the same side as the other woman, but he didn't expect that this woman, who had previously claimed to be just an ignorant village woman, would react so quickly now.

How could she possibly be an ignorant village woman?

"I'll write, but in my current condition, I can barely sit up, how can I write?"

"You can arrange the small table. As for your physical pain, as long as you don't die, it's not my concern. Once you've written it down, I'll show it to my husband first. If it's satisfactory, you'll get plenty of food. If it's not good, I might as well kill you and throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves."

Du Mingxian left after she finished speaking. She had actually prepared a small table beforehand, and then went to call Granny Zhao.

The two entered the house, and Granny Zhao helped You Yuan up so he could lean against the bed. Du Mingxian placed all the things in front of him.

"Alright, start writing now." Before leaving, Du Mingxian reminded her, "By the way, in our village, those things are all passed down through generations in poor families. The bowl you just broke is truly a priceless treasure passed down from your ancestors. Think about how to repay it."

Once outside, Du Mingxian paid no heed to how angry You Yuan was inside, and went straight to the kitchen to get busy. There really was one step in the brewing process that she was good at.

"Madam, would you like to cook something for the injured person who just woke up?"

"I'll do it, you go ahead and do your work." She saw that Granny Zhao had been washing clothes.

"it is good."

While busy, Du Mingxian took a moment to boil water and specially cooked some porridge with rice produced from her space. Although she was angry with You Yuan just now, she really didn't want to kill him.

Putting everything else aside, after saving You Yuan, there was an extra amount of fruit in the space, which is a good thing.

She was busy the whole time. When the porridge was ready, it was Granny Zhao who brought it over. A little while later, Granny Zhao came back and said, "Madam, that young master said he wants you to come over. He's finished writing."

"Right away." Du Mingxian didn't go immediately. Half an hour later, after she finished her work, she washed her hands and went to find You Yuan.

You Yuan did write it, and he also drank some porridge. He was in pretty good spirits at the moment. When he saw Du Mingxian come in, he handed her what he had written, saying, "Take a look at it first."

Du Mingxian took it and glanced at it. The contents looked good, but since she hadn't received an education in this era, she really didn't know what it was like.

In her previous life with Wu Daniu, she learned to read by hiring servants. She specifically bought a literate maid to teach her. Later, when she went to the capital to manage a household, she also found an accountant to teach her.

It's equivalent to not having received any systematic and formal training.

You Yuan thought she was illiterate, but after taking it, she could tell from just a few glances that the other person was literate. Since she was literate, how could she be so... shameless?

"Alright, you can stay here for now. If you need anything, just call Granny Zhao. You'll have to pay for that bowl; it's my family's priceless treasure."

"I'll pay." You Yuan's voice, filled with gritted teeth, came from behind her, while Du Mingxian was in a very good mood.

Just as it was getting dark, a commotion came from outside the courtyard; it was Ling Silang and the others returning.

Ling Dalang and the others did not come in; they all went back to their own homes. Ling Silang entered the courtyard and pulled Du Mingxian into the house, briefly explaining what had happened.

"It went very smoothly. The divorce is complete, and my younger sister will be living with us from now on."

"That's great! It'll be more lively with another person in the family."

"Yes, that's what I think too."

"hungry?"

"Mother has already asked Granny Zhao to cook."

Du Mingxian handed over the paper she had received from You Yuan that afternoon, asking, "What do you think of this?"

Ling Silang, not knowing what it was, took it with a puzzled look. As he read the contents of the paper, his eyes lit up more and more. "Where did my wife get this?"

"how?"

"nice one."

"That's good. It was given to me by the person I rescued. He had nothing on him, but he wanted to repay the life-saving grace, so I had him write this down."

Ling Silang asked in surprise, "The person is awake?"

"woke up."

"I gonna go see."

"Husband, let's go tomorrow. He's probably already asleep tonight."

"it is good."

The next day, Du Mingxian went out of the village to exercise as usual. On the way, she met an old woman who ran away with a look of disgust when she saw Du Mingxian from afar, which surprised Du Mingxian.

But I didn't take it to heart.

After breakfast, she took Ling Xiaomei with her to help out at Ling Erlang's house.

Ling Xiaomei's health is not suitable for hard work, but she can do some light work. Leaving her at home alone would only make her more prone to overthinking.

While they were working, a woman from the village who was on good terms with Zhou came over. Because Du Mingxian and the others were inside, the woman didn't see them and started talking to Zhou in the yard.

The woman's voice was anything but subdued: "Let me tell you, you should stay away from your fourth brother's wife. She's no good person."

Zhou's expression changed slightly, and she asked patiently, "What's wrong? Why are you saying that? My fourth sister-in-law is doing very well."

"What's so good about her? Her own father came yesterday, and she kicked him out without even giving him a sip of water. She made him furious. How good can a woman be if she's not even filial to her own father?"

While some people were gossiping with Zhou, others were saying the same thing to Ling's mother.

Ling's mother didn't come to help Zhou's family today. She wanted to make a dress for Du Mingxian and was thinking about how to do it when her third sister-in-law and Lu Dahua from the village came together.

When the two people arrived, Ling's mother didn't have a dark expression; instead, she invited them to sit down.

Aunt Ling looked at her with some envy as she picked up the cloth. "This cloth is really nice. What are you planning to make it?"

"I want to make a dress for Silang's wife."

"Oh dear, Second Sister-in-law, you're so foolish! Does someone like her deserve to wear such fine fabric?"

Ling's mother's face darkened immediately, and she said coldly, "Third sister-in-law, what are you saying? Mingxian is my daughter-in-law. It's my business what material I use to make clothes for her. You come to my house trying to slander my daughter-in-law?"

Lu Dahua hurriedly said, "Fourth Brother's mother, you don't know, your third sister-in-law is right, your fourth brother's wife is really unworthy. Her own father came yesterday, and she wouldn't even let him drink a sip of water, and wouldn't even let him in the door. Her father is so pitiful."

"Hey, if you ask me, since the Du family dared to secretly arrange the marriage, you should have just sent Du Mingxian back. What use is it for a woman like Fu Nu to marry her? She's not as good as my niece. At least we know her background. My niece is very filial."

"But your fourth son's wife doesn't even care about her own father. You're still living with the fourth son now, but when you get old and need someone to take care of you, she'll definitely kick you out."
