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

Du Mingxian looked at Wang Jin in surprise, her face calm but her heart shocked.

Wang Jin shrugged, somewhat helplessly, "The child is disobedient. Since he's staying at your house, you can order him around as you please, don't hold back."

Du Mingxian nodded slightly without saying a word. She left the restaurant to buy beans, and her mood remained heavy throughout her journey home.

She thought she was lucky to be reborn, and often held onto a sliver of hope. Moreover, her cheat ability was truly powerful. But even so, in her daily life, she tried to use her cheat ability as little as possible, for fear of becoming dependent on it and lowering her guard.

But... even so, a person's abilities are still limited.

From the moment she met Wang Qi to the moment she brought him home, she never felt that anyone was following her or spying on her.

But Wang Jin's words made her realize that what she was doing was being watched, that someone was keeping an eye on her, and that the Wang family must have some powerful figures on their side to become the richest family in the area.

She might not be able to compare to someone like that.

Since her rebirth and marriage into the Ling family, and with her newfound power, she always thought she was lucky and had powerful trump cards. However, she overlooked one thing.

This was the era of cold weapons. People in this era knew kung fu, and there were also those who were good at hiding.

In her past life, she was an assassin. Although she was skilled, she might not necessarily win in a real fight.

She got carried away.

I always thought that no one knew about Wang Qi at home, but I never imagined that he might have been thoroughly investigated long ago.

Because of Wang Jin's appearance, Du Mingxian became more cautious and practiced her skills more diligently, practicing in the space every morning and evening.

Delivering two hundred jars of goods in six days was a very urgent matter. After discussing it, the family decided to invite people from the village to help, with women given priority.

Once the news spread, quite a few people rushed over, with Aunt Ling and her daughters-in-law leading the way.

Everyone lives in the village, and they generally know what kind of person each person is. That's why Zhou Shi absolutely refused to have Aunt Ling, let alone her eldest daughter-in-law.

Aunt Ling married her eldest son's niece. Both of them had the same problem: they loved to take advantage of others, to the point that they were never satisfied with taking advantage of others.

The second son's wife was a dull-witted person. Because she hadn't given birth to a son, she always seemed resentful, which Zhou Shi disliked.

Only the third son's wife is a little better; she's young, has a sweet tongue, works efficiently, and isn't the type to take advantage of others.

So when Aunt Ling arrived with her people, Zhou immediately said, "Aunt Ling, please let Third Sister-in-law stay."

"Second son's wife, we need several people, why only the third son's wife? We're all family, the eldest son's wife and the second son's wife, you should stay too."

"Third Aunt, we're all from the same village, and we're all related, so it's not appropriate for us all to choose one. We have to choose separately." After saying that, Zhou hurried off to get busy.

If someone comes to the door, the suitable person is kept, and the unsuitable person is sent away.

Soon the villagers realized that the people Zhou had chosen were all efficient workers who didn't take advantage of others. When this result came out, some people were very jealous and gossiped about it behind her back.

The simple tasks were left to the women they had hired, while Zhou herself handled the important steps.

Each woman recruited was given 15 coins per day. Lunch was not provided for the time being, so an extra 5 coins were given, making it 20 coins per day.

Later, when the distillery opened and the number of people increased, meals were provided, costing fifteen coins a day.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Winter has quietly arrived.

The workshop has been built, with the winery occupying half and a room in the middle reserved as a canteen.

On the day the winery opened, the Ling family decided to host a banquet. Du Mingxian had planned to pick up Zhou Shi early on, but when Ling's mother found out about this, she directly sent Ling Erlang, who was always in the county, to pick her up.

The banquet involved buying a whole pig. The Ling family no longer has any pigs, and Du Mingxian hasn't had time to go into the mountains recently.

The workshop had some open space, and tables were set up directly on the open space. The chef who cooked the dishes was a middle-aged man who was the head chef of banquets in the surrounding area, and he was accompanied by his wife.

The village women then became their assistants.

The atmosphere was very lively. Soon, firecrackers went off outside, crackling and popping. Children played and played around on the side. Everyone, whether they were happy or not, had smiles on their faces.

After the firecrackers finished, someone shouted, "Take your seats!" and everyone quickly sat down.

Before the banquet even began, Ling Erlang had already entered the village, followed by two carriages.

Three carriages drove in at the same time, and the news quickly spread. Du Mingxian hurried towards the door, but Ling's mother was even faster, her feet moving so fast that she managed to walk ahead of Du Mingxian.

As soon as Ling Erlang's carriage stopped, Ling Silang, who appeared out of nowhere, had already placed the stirrups and lifted the carriage curtain. The first person to get off was Xu Tingting.

Next was Zhou Shi. When Ling's mother saw Zhou Shi, she smiled broadly and said, "Oh, my dear in-law, let me help you."

(Note: Because the female lead's mother and second sister-in-law share the same surname, it has been changed to: Mother: First Zhou, Second Sister-in-law: Second Zhou.)

Ling's mother's enthusiasm made Da Zhou Shi feel a little overwhelmed. "Dear...in-law, I can do it myself."

"I'll help you."

Since Madam Ling insisted on helping her, Madam Zhou could only place her hand in Madam Ling's hand. After getting off the carriage, she did not leave, but stood by the carriage and said, "Mother, let me help you."

Du Mingxian was startled; she really hadn't expected Old Lady Xu to come as well.

Old Mrs. Xu's legs were still a little weak when she walked, so she was helped down by Ling's mother and Da Zhou Shi. Wang Shi immediately stepped forward to support Old Mrs. Xu, and Xiao Zhou Shi also stepped forward to support the other side.

Liu missed it and could only go up to help Da Zhou, while Ling's mother was on the other side.

Du Mingxian: "..." Everyone in her family was so enthusiastic that she didn't even have a place to stand.

"Cousin." Xu Tingting stood next to her, deliberately trying to scare her.

Du Mingxian turned around and chuckled, "Cousin, where's Uncle?"

“It’s in the back.” Xu Tingting pointed to the carriage behind. “When we came over, the driver of that carriage had a stomachache and couldn’t drive, so my father went over there.”

Du Mingxian then came to her senses; there were two more carriages behind her.

Ling Silang had already passed by, and Du Mingxian saw from afar... the Prefectural Magistrate getting off the carriage, with an old man supporting him from behind.

What's there to misunderstand? The real Confucian scholar Fang has come to our home.

In an instant, Du Mingxian had already made arrangements. She didn't move forward, but went directly to Ling Dalang. "Brother, find a table and set it up at home. We're having a banquet for our distinguished guests at home. It'll be quiet."

Ling Dalang agreed, then hesitated, "How about arranging it at my house? You already have one there, it's not very convenient."

You Yuan's health has improved significantly after treatment, but he is still being kept hidden away and cannot be seen by others.

Du Mingxian pondered for a moment, "It's alright, just arrange it at home. I'll go back first and trouble you to make the arrangements, brother."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."

Du Mingxian went back first to find You Yuan, told him who had come, and asked if it was convenient for him to meet. After hesitating, You Yuan said it was fine, as he also wanted to meet them.
