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

Ling's mother was immediately worried. With her third sister-in-law's greedy nature, if she went directly to their door to discuss this matter, she would definitely ask for an exorbitant amount of money.

Of course, Ling's father also wanted his third brother to live in a good house. A mud-brick courtyard could be exchanged for silver, enough to build a brick and tile courtyard, and there would still be some money left over, which was the best thing ever.

But my third sister-in-law's personality...

Both of them were worried.

At this moment, Zhou said, "Fourth sister-in-law, your idea is good, but you may not have had much contact with Third Aunt. If we go directly to her door to discuss this matter, I'm afraid we won't be able to give up the place without spending several hundred taels of silver."

“Yes,” said Ling’s mother. “Your second sister-in-law is right. Your third aunt has always been taking advantage of others in the village. If we take the initiative to suggest exchanging, it will be even more troublesome.”

Du Mingxian subconsciously looked at Ling Silang beside her, and the moment she looked at him, her mind suddenly seemed to clear.

In the past, whenever she encountered something, her first reaction was to handle it herself, but now... her first reaction when something happens is to turn to him. When did she become so dependent on him?

She was dazed.

Ling Silang stepped forward and said, "Father and Mother, why don't we build the part that can be built first? These will also take time, so let's take it one step at a time."

"If you want to build a workshop, you have to build it next to your house. That's the only way," said Ling's father.

When Ling's mother saw that her son had spoken, she agreed to do so. "Let's do it this way for now, and we'll talk about the rest later. Building a workshop is not a simple matter. It's going to get cold soon, so we need to get things done quickly."

Ling's father hurriedly got up. "I'll go find your uncle now, then mark the location in the open space behind the house, and then find people in the village so we can start work tomorrow."

As Mr. Ling was about to leave, Mrs. Ling suddenly remembered something and called out to him, "Wait a minute."

Everyone turned to look at Ling's mother, who glanced at the children and said, "Your little sister has been back for a while now, and we haven't had a chance to talk about it. Today is the day."

“Your father and I have discussed it and we want to build another small courtyard so that your father and I can live with your little sister.”

"Mother, no way." Ling Silang stepped forward directly. "My little sister is coming back to live with us. You're moving out to live with her? Does that mean you don't want to take care of your son?"

Ling's mother was naturally heartbroken, as Silang was her most beloved son. "Silang, I know what you mean. My idea is... since you all have people taking care of you, it would be more convenient for your mother, your father, and your little sister to live together."

“Mother, there’s no such thing as convenient or inconvenient. My little sister is my little sister. She’s divorced and returned home. It’s just right for her to live with me. She doesn’t need to move out.” Ling Silang disagreed.

After hesitating for a moment, Ling's mother said, "I'm thinking of finding a husband for your younger sister in the future, so we still need to move out."

“Mother, we can talk about the future later. For now, my little sister will stay with us. If she really wants to find a husband in the future, I will provide the money to build a new house for her, okay?” Ling Silang absolutely refused to let his parents and little sister move out together.

Before Ling's mother could say anything more, Du Mingxian stepped forward and said, "Mother, it's lively with more people at home, and it's good that my little sister is back. You don't need to care what others say. We've built a workshop, and we'll be recruiting workers from the village in the future. Those people will only say nice things, they won't gossip about us to our faces."

“You…” Ling’s mother was actually afraid that Du Mingxian would not agree to her daughter staying at home for an extended period of time.

Du Mingxian instantly understood what Ling's mother meant. She was both angry and amused. "Mother, don't forget, it was I who went to the Qian family to bring my younger sister back. My sister's divorce was partly my fault. When I brought my sister back, I naturally hoped that she would get a divorce."

"well."

The idea of ​​Ling's parents moving out with their daughter was thus thwarted.

After everyone left, Ling's mother went to Ling Xiaomei's room to find her. Ling Xiaomei was making insoles. When she saw Ling's mother come in, she put down what she was doing and said, "Mother, come in and sit down."

"These insoles are well-made, not bad."

"I want to make a pair of shoes for my fourth sister-in-law. I'll make the bottom more solid and the inside softer. She's very busy every day and walks a lot, so this will make her feet more comfortable."

"Alright, your fourth sister-in-law isn't wrong in treating you." Ling's mother continued, "I told you before that I and your father would take you to live with us, but when I brought it up just now, your fourth brother and sister-in-law disagreed."

Ling Xiaomei's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but she quickly concealed it, "Mother, it's alright."

"Your fourth brother and sister-in-law want the house to be more lively, so they want you to live here. You can stay as long as you want. If you want to get married again in the future, they will find you a husband. After that, your fourth brother said he would build you a courtyard house, and you can be the head of the household and live your life as you please."

Ling Xiaomei was a little confused. Thinking about the Qian family, she was hesitant to get married, afraid of entering an unfamiliar environment and being forced to become a family with strangers.

“It’s alright. Your fourth sister-in-law said that even if you never get married in your life, it doesn’t matter. If she has children in the future, you can help her take care of them.” These words from Ling’s mother were indeed spoken by Du Mingxian.

Before Ling's mother entered the house, Du Mingxian, fearing that Ling Xiaomei might overthink things, said these words to her.

Ling Xiaomei was overjoyed to hear this, "Great! As long as they're willing to let me take care of them, I'll definitely take good care of my nephew and niece."

Seeing the smile on her daughter's face, Ling's mother was very happy. "Okay, it's settled then."

The news that the Ling family was going to set up a workshop again shocked the villagers. At the same time, a piece of news quietly spread that the fourth son of the Ling family had married a lucky woman.

Since this lucky girl entered the family, Ling Silang has seen the doctor less often, and the Ling family has prospered. In a short period of time, the four branches of the family have separated, and each family lives in a brick house. Now they are even building a workshop.

Workshops were something only landlords would build.

Some villagers were extremely jealous, but dared not say anything to his face. They could only keep asking what the workshop was used for, for fear that they would not be hired when it came time to recruit workers.

Because of the matter concerning Ling Sanbo's house, Ling Silang gave his second sister-in-law a task.

Zhou didn't make chili sauce; instead, he went to chat with the women. The women asked him all sorts of questions about what the workshop was used for, and Zhou could only reluctantly answer that it was used to brew wine.

The term "brewing" is considered a niche skill by most people; who in an ordinary household would brew wine?

Everyone has various questions.

"Erlang's wife, does your brewery need any help?"

"Of course it will be. Didn't you see it's going to be huge? If we only use my own family, wouldn't we be exhausted? Besides, if only my own family is doing the work, why bother building a workshop? We can just do it in our own yard."

"Oh dear, that's wonderful! Erlang's wife, here's a handful of beans for you to eat. When the workshop is built and they need to hire workers, you'll have to help them out. Ask them to hire our family members first, okay? They're good workers."

She accepted everything the women offered her—a handful of beans, a handful of fried rice—and was about to say something when she saw Aunt Ling San approaching.

She immediately put on a guilty look and hurriedly said to the women surrounding her, "I have something to do, so I'll have to go now."

"Zhou, what's wrong with you? Your third aunt just arrived, why are you leaving already? Don't you usually love chatting with your third aunt?" Someone noticed something was wrong and quickly spoke up.
