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

She was very light, but he was unwell and still felt very heavy. However, he walked steadily and placed her on his bed.

He lit the calming incense she usually lit for herself, then wiped her tears with a handkerchief, looked at her intently for a moment, and got up to leave.

Ling Silang went directly to Ling Erlang's house. Ling's mother and the others were busy in the yard. When they saw Ling Silang coming, Ling's mother quickly got up and went to her son's side. "How is Mingxian? Why did you come alone? Comfort her."

"It's okay, she's asleep."

Before Ling's mother could speak, she suddenly noticed that the front of her son's white shirt was wet. "Why is your shirt wet? Go back and change quickly, or you'll easily catch a cold."

"Mom, it's nothing. I just came to check on things. Mingxian is asleep. I'm going to take a walk around the village."

"you……"

"Mother, you don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it."

"Okay, just tell your mother if you need anything. Let your eldest brother and his brothers handle the physical work, as well as your cousins. We're all family."

"I know mother."

"Okay, you go ahead. I'll go home and keep an eye on things, just in case Mingxian wakes up."

"You can chat with your second sister-in-law and the others here. I told Granny Zhao before I left."

"it is good."

When Du Mingxian woke up, she found that she had actually slept for an hour and a half and was still sleeping on Ling Silang's bed, where the bed's owner was sitting in front of the bed reading a book.

The man looks really handsome when he's serious, but he's a bit too thin and his face is too sickly pale.

As if sensing Du Mingxian's gaze, he looked up and their eyes met. He put down the book in his hand and asked, "Awake? Are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry yet." Du Mingxian felt a little embarrassed. Although the two were husband and wife, their current relationship was like that of a couple, and they had some feelings for each other. But lying on each other's bed like this was really awkward.

Ling Silang seemed oblivious to Du Mingxian's embarrassment. "Then why don't you go to your second sister-in-law's house? Mother and the others are all over there. I'm afraid they'll be so busy chatting that they might accidentally put the wrong ingredients in when they're making the sauce."

"Okay, let me see."

After Du Mingxian left, Ling Silang sat at the table in a daze for a while before picking up the questions he had been working on and going to You Yuan's room.

In the following days, Du Mingxian was kept under close watch by the Ling family. Everyone used being busy as an excuse to keep Du Mingxian extremely busy every day, so the gossip in the village had no chance to reach her.

The Ling family kept to themselves and lived their own lives behind closed doors.

Finally, the delivery day arrived. As agreed with Wang Qi beforehand, Wang Qi sent a car to pick up the goods. Early in the morning, Ling Erlang cleaned the house several times so that the people sent by Wang Qi could see where it was dirty and that it would affect their sales.

Du Mingxian was thinking about wild game and wanted to go to the mountains to see if there was anything good to give to Wang Qi. After all, this playboy was doing business for the first time, and as a business partner, if she gave him some wild game, Wang Qi would probably take it home and praise it for a long time.

However... as soon as she mentioned wanting to go into the mountains, Ling's mother refused, "You should stay at home. If the other party comes to pick up the goods and makes any other requests, I'm afraid your second sister-in-law and the others won't be able to entertain them."

“Mother, it’s alright. My second sister-in-law and the others can’t handle it, but my husband can help. I want to go into the mountains to see if there’s any wild game to bring down and give to Young Master Wang later.”

Ling's mother still didn't really want her to go. Going into the mountains would inevitably involve encountering villagers, and it wouldn't be good if someone said something to her daughter-in-law.

At this moment, Ling's father said, "Let your younger sister go with you. She has been helping out since she came back and hasn't had a chance to go out for a stroll. This is a good opportunity."

"Yes, yes, you take your little sister with you when you go into the mountains, but neither of you should go deep into the mountains. Just wander around the outer areas." Ling's mother instructed.

Du Mingxian instantly understood what the two old people meant. "Okay, I'll just wander around the perimeter."

Ling Xiaomei didn't care. She had a very happy time at her parents' home these days. After her sisters-in-law separated their households, their relationship seemed to have become even closer. Sure enough, when you're in charge behind closed doors, you're in a good mood and there are fewer problems.

The two walked together into the mountains. They encountered villagers along the way, but they didn't greet them. However, the villagers looked at the two of them with a complicated expression.

Du Mingxian is fine, but Ling Xiaomei is the one who's having a hard time.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Du Mingxian gently patted Ling Xiaomei's shoulder. "Don't worry about what others say. Just live your own life. Other opinions and words are nothing more than... jealousy."

"Fourth Sister-in-law, is that really true?"

"Of course, some people speak ill of you because they are jealous that you are doing better than them."

Ling Xiaomei was somewhat bewildered, but when she thought about how some girls in the village were really having a hard time, she gradually felt relieved.

The two were lucky; they didn't go far before they encountered a wild goat. Du Mingxian had excellent aim now; she threw a fist-sized rock, which knocked the goat dizzy and disoriented. She threw a second rock, and the goat fell down immediately.

Seeing Du Mingxian hunting firsthand, Ling Xiaomei was utterly astonished.

The two didn't linger in the mountains with the wild goat; they headed straight back. In the past, they would at least try to hide their hunt, but now they were openly heading home.

The villagers were talking even more wildly behind their backs, but the person involved didn't actually hear it.

Du Mingxian saw several carriages parked in front of Ling Erlang's house from afar. She quickened her pace, and by the time she got closer, the goods were already half loaded.

Wang Qi was chatting with Ling Erlang when he saw Du Mingxian approaching from afar, carrying a wild goat. He immediately perked up, "Did you hunt this in the mountains?"

"Yes, my younger sister and I went to get it."

Wang Qi glanced at Ling Xiaomei, then at Du Mingxian, and asked in disbelief, "You two women did this?"

"Yes, it was the two of us women who fought it."

Wang Qi didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything more. "This wild goat looks good. My father likes game. Why don't you just sell it to me?"

"If it's not good enough, I won't sell it."

"Stingy," Wang Qi muttered like a child.

Du Mingxian said, "This was originally brought to you as a gift. This is our first time working together, and we hope to cooperate with you for a long time. We farmers don't have anything that would please you, so we brought this wild game to offer as a token of our appreciation."

Wang Qi was slightly unhappy at first, but then he was so happy that he almost jumped up because Du Mingxian said it was a gift for him. "Oh, you have good taste! After I take the things back, I will definitely speak well of you to my father."

Du Mingxian nodded slightly, "Then I hope Young Master Wang's business will prosper."

"Haha, yes, yes, yes."

After exchanging pleasantries at the door and loading the goods, Wang Qi happily left with the items, saying that next time he wanted Ling Erlang to take him into the mountains to hunt wild game.

Ling Erlang readily agreed, saying he would definitely go next time he had the chance.

Just as Wang Qigang left, Du Mingxian saw Ling Silang talking to... Du Mingcheng at her doorstep. She didn't know what they were saying, but Ling Silang's expression was indifferent.
