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

"what happened?"

"Your sister-in-law... has some people from her family coming."

Du Mingxian didn't speak, and Ling's mother continued, "Your sister-in-law and her brother, and her sister-in-law insisted on going to work at the workshop. They arrived yesterday."

The workshop hosted a dinner party yesterday, and she didn't know many of the villagers. She didn't recognize any of the unfamiliar faces.

"It doesn't matter who we hire, since they're willing to do it."

"You don't understand, your sister-in-law and the others... are very lazy."

Du Mingxian frowned. This was not a good situation. First, it was her sister-in-law's family, and second, they had let a lazy relative in. Once this door was opened, it would be difficult to manage properly later. Therefore, they couldn't let anyone in from the beginning.

"We've only been preparing for the last two days, and we haven't even found everyone yet. We've only been bringing back the materials we prepared for the last two days, so it'll be a few more days before we can start work. Let's see how your sister-in-law handles this first."

The workshop was given to the eldest sister-in-law because the second sister-in-law's family already owned a soy sauce workshop. Giving it to the winery would give the family a monopoly. The brothers originally had a good relationship, but this arrangement would not be good for any of them.

So we didn't do that. Now that we've asked my elder brother and sister-in-law to step in, we'll have to see how they resolve this matter.

"That's all we can do. I hope your sister-in-law will make the right decision this time." Ling's mother was extremely worried. "I've selected a few people to cook for you. Would you like to hear their suggestions?"

"Okay." The people from both workshops eat together, so they keep accounts together and will divide the money according to the number of people later.

“Your aunt is a capable worker and a good cook, so why don’t we let her manage the canteen?”

"Alright, since Mother has chosen someone she likes, let's just make the decision."

"Well, for the remaining helpers, one of your uncle's daughters-in-law will come up, so that each family has a woman working in the workshop. The rest will be chosen from the village."

"Okay, but the key is that the food tastes good."

"Mother knows, I'll think about it some more before I take charge of cooking."

While the two were discussing things, a commotion had already broken out in Ling Dalang's courtyard.

The Queen Mother looked at her daughter with exasperation, "Why can't you think straight? I'm doing this all for your own good!"

"Leave the canteen purchasing to me. With me overseeing it, how could you possibly be shortchanged? I can also keep an eye on those people working and prevent them from stealing."

Wang shook her head. "No, Mother. The canteen doesn't just belong to my family. My second brother's wife's family also has members. So, to avoid any disputes, we plan to hand over the canteen to my mother-in-law."

"Why hand it over to your mother-in-law? Didn't you see how much she dotes on that sickly child? If you hand the canteen over to her, she'll definitely embezzle it. In the end, all the money will go to that sickly child who's studying."

“Besides, that sickly boy is still studying, so we can’t leave him to your mother-in-law.” Wang’s mother got more and more excited as she spoke. “Of course, we should leave this kind of thing to our own family. Would your mother lie to you?”

Wang was already annoyed by what she had just heard, but when she heard her mother say that Ling Silang was sickly, her face turned completely black, and her voice rose a little, "Mother, how... how could you say such a thing about Silang?"

"Alright, alright, I won't say it, I won't say it." Seeing that her daughter seemed really angry, Wang's mother immediately changed the subject. "I won't say he's a sickly man, but the canteen can't be left to your mother-in-law, otherwise it'll all benefit the fourth branch of the family."

"Mother, you don't need to worry about it. We've already made a decision about this."

The mother was so angry that she started hitting Wang Shi, saying, "You child, how could you not listen to me? I'm telling you, all of this is true. I'm doing all this for your own good."

“Mother, you should not interfere in these matters if you want what’s best for me. The workshop is managed by my husband. They have a plan, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

The mother was furious and pinched Wang Shi hard twice more. "Let me tell you, this is your family's workshop. Since you have the skill of brewing wine, you should keep it well hidden. I won't say anything if you're living a good life now, but you should take good care of your younger brother."

"He's having a hard time."

Wang glanced at her younger brother, who stood silently to the side, and sighed inwardly. Her mother had only given birth to this one son in her entire life, and she doted on him. If anything happened in her and her sisters' family, they would definitely prioritize this younger brother.

“If he were really living a hard life, how could he be so fat? There are very few people this fat in the village, Mother. Can you look at your surroundings before you speak?”

When Wang exposed her shortcomings, Wang's mother sat down on the ground and started crying, repeatedly saying that her life was miserable, that she had no hope of living, and so on.

To the right of Ling Dalang's house is his neighbor's house, about thirty meters away. To the left is Ling Erlang's house, and next to Ling Erlang's house is Ling Silang's house. And to the other side of Ling Silang's house is Ling Sanlang.

The houses were built together at the same time, and the brothers had a good relationship, so the houses were built very close together. Standing in one courtyard, you could hear the sounds coming from the other courtyard. The houses were only about a meter apart.

At this moment, as soon as Wang's mother made a fuss, Xiao Zhou immediately leaned over the wall, holding melon seeds in her hand, and said, "Auntie, you miss my uncle, right? Then you should go back to the Wang family and cry. Maybe you can cry my uncle's soul back. You can't cry in our Ling family."

The mother was speechless, unsure whether to cry or not. Wang's sister-in-law was already unhappy because of her sister-in-law's constant excuses, and now that she was being spoken to like this, she became angry.

"What business is it of yours? This is a family matter."

Madam Zhou immediately objected, "Oh dear, what do you mean by 'your family's business'? Go back to your Wang family and deal with it. Don't come to my Ling family's new house to wail and bring bad luck."

Wang's sister-in-law was so angry that her face turned pale. She pointed at Wang's brother and yelled, "Are you just going to stand by and watch outsiders bully me?"

“Outsiders? That’s ridiculous. Please make a clear distinction. Who are the outsiders? From the moment my sister-in-law and I married into the Ling family, we have been family.”

"You, a woman from the Wang family, come here to scold the Ling family. Do you think there are too few people with the surname Ling in our village?"

"And you should think about this more carefully. After my sister-in-law and I pass away, we will both be buried in the Ling family ancestral cemetery, in the same plot of land. What kind of person are you?"

"To put it nicely, you're my sister-in-law's brother's wife; to put it bluntly, you're just here to freeload. If you're going to freeload, you should know better. Why are you acting all high and mighty? Anyone who didn't know better would think you're some kind of stupid girl with the body of a young lady but the life of a maid." Little Zhou really couldn't stand the Wang family.

After the Wang family arrived, she could hear some noises coming from the courtyard very often, but her sister-in-law was too embarrassed to admit it.

"You..." Wang Didi was furious. Finally, she grabbed Wang Di's hand and shook it. "You just stand by and watch them bully me?"

Wang Di felt sorry for his wife and turned to Wang Shi, saying, "Sister, are you just going to watch outsiders bully my wife? Are you no longer a daughter of the Wang family?"
