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

Wu Sihua also shook her head, "I don't want to."

Wu Erniu's eyes flickered. "No matter who marries into the family, once they enter the Wu family, they must cook."

Du Mingwei was completely unaware of what the group was saying. After Aunt Wang finished cooking, Wu Daniu invited everyone over to eat in the main room, and Du Mingwei naturally had to attend.

When she came out, Wu Daniu and his brothers were all shocked to see her.

Wu Daniu gave a perfunctory explanation, and his brothers all looked on with envy.

Du Mingwei and Wu Daniu enjoyed the feeling of being admired and adored.

After the meal, the guests left. Wu Daniu, in a good mood, drank quite a bit of alcohol and dragged Du Mingwei back to the room to start their bedroom activities, which lasted until the afternoon.

When Wu Daniu came out, he saw that the leftover dishes and bowls on the table were still untouched. He frowned and said unhappily, "Erniu, Sanniu, Sihua, you guys come here."

The children were playing in the yard when they heard a noise and the four siblings all went inside.

"Erniu, don't you know how to help your younger siblings tidy up here?"

Wu Erniu looked coldly at Wu Daniu, "Brother, shouldn't these be chores for women? Before, when we didn't have any women in our family, I couldn't bear to let my sister do them all by herself. Now that we have women in the family, why do we still have to do these things?"

"But your sister-in-law..."

Wu Erniu calmly interrupted him, "Since she's become my sister-in-law, she should take good care of us, instead of sleeping in the house during the day. What woman is as lazy as her? She even has to hire someone to cook. If word gets out, will you still have any face left, brother?"

Wu Daniu was taken aback by the question, and an unnatural look flashed across his face. "Well... this is my fault. I won't let your sister-in-law rest during the day anymore. But you know, she's not Du Mingxian. She didn't do any work when she was at her parents' house, so you should help her."

"We can help, but the problem is, she won't do it, so how can we help? Besides, brother, is this a sister-in-law you married for us, or a queen that we have to take care of?"

"No one is born knowing how to cook. If you don't know how, go learn! Are you suggesting that when your brother and sister-in-law have a child, the child will starve?"

Some of the things Wu Erniu said were his own ideas, while others were taught to him by the Wang sisters next door.

Wu Daniu's words of rebuke stuck in his throat. His younger brother was right. Now that she was a member of the family, no matter how Du Mingwei had behaved in the Du family before, once she entered the Wu family, she had to follow the Wu family's rules.

Is it really possible for her younger siblings to end up serving Du Mingwei instead?

He couldn't bear it.

"Okay, I got it. You guys go out and have some fun."

Wu Daniu waved for his younger siblings to leave.

Wu Xiaohua didn't move. "Big brother, I'm hungry. It's long past mealtime, and we haven't eaten anything yet."

"Go see what's left in the kitchen, and eat whatever's available."

"There's none left. All the food that Aunt Wang made has been eaten."

"Okay, you guys go have fun, I'll have your sister-in-law do it."

After the others left, Wu Daniu turned and went inside. Du Mingwei was exhausted and was fast asleep.

Wu Daniu saw the beauty sleeping and didn't want to wake her, but remembering what his younger brother had said, he reached out and woke Du Mingwei up.

"Mingwei, Mingwei."

Du Mingwei slowly woke up, "Husband."

"Get up, it's getting dark, and dinner time is over."

Du Mingwei thought Wu Daniu was calling her to eat, so she first gave him a sweet smile before sitting up. "Thank you, husband. I'm still feeling quite unwell. Should we bring the food inside to eat?"

Wu Daniu's face stiffened, and then he said with some difficulty, "Erniu and the others are still children. Today we invited Aunt Wang because it was a dinner party. I'm afraid you will still have to take care of cooking at home from now on."

Du Mingwei instinctively wanted to retort. She had hardly ever been in the kitchen in her life, so how could she have to cook for herself after getting married?

Wu Daniu spoke first, "Now that we're married, I know you didn't know how before, but given our family's circumstances, you need to learn. Erniu and the others also need your care."

This made Du Mingwei's words of refusal stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say them no matter what.

But considering that Wu Daniu will become a general in the future, and that the younger members of the Wu family are all quite good, if she treats them well now, they will respect her as their sister-in-law even more in the future.

Even Wu Sihua eventually became a concubine in the palace.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that now was the time for her to shine. "Brother Da Niu is right, I'll get up and cook right now."

"The dishes from lunch on the table outside haven't been cleared away yet."

"I'll go collect it." Du Mingwei's obedient and compliant demeanor immediately made Wu Daniu feel sorry for her. However, thinking about his younger siblings who would need to be taken care of in the future, he ultimately didn't say the words of heartache that were on the tip of his tongue.

After Du Mingwei finished dressing, her legs went weak and she fell forward as she got out of bed. Wu Daniu, who was nearby, quickly grabbed her and prevented her from falling.

"Are you... are you alright?"

"It's nothing, it's just..." Du Mingwei looked up at him shyly, "It's just that Brother Da Niu has been too demanding these past two days, and my legs are a little weak and I'm feeling a bit unwell."

Wu Daniu still felt sorry for you, "I'm sorry you've suffered like this. I'll make sure you live a good life in the future."

"Okay, I'll do whatever Brother Da Niu says."

"Let's go, I'll help you pack. You can talk to Erniu and the others later."

"it is good."

Du Mingwei and Wu Daniu tidied up together. One of them hadn't done much housework before, while the other was an expert at taking care of her younger siblings at home every day.

In the end, Wu Daniu did most of the work, while Du Mingwei just praised him verbally.

Wu Daniu also cooked the meal, and Du Mingwei watched and learned from him.

For the first time, the whole family sat together for dinner.

The Du family had money, so their table was tall and specially made; the Wu family was different.

Wu's family was poor before his parents passed away. After his parents died, Wu Daniu had to support the family on his own. Every day, Wu Daniu had to go into the mountains to hunt in order to make a living.

A single person hunting can support a large family; just managing to avoid starvation is already a feat, let alone having furniture at home.

The dining table is the same low table that Wu's parents made when they were alive. There are no stools; they are all made of wooden blocks.

Du Mingwei was disgusted, but after feeling disgusted, she kept giving herself psychological counseling.

The current difficulties are only temporary; things will get better in the future.

After everyone sat down, Wu Daniu said, "Erniu, your sister-in-law has just joined the family and is not familiar with some things. You should help her as much as possible."

The younger siblings were quite well-behaved at this moment, responding in unison, "Yes, big brother."

Wu Daniu then said to Du Mingwei, "I'm going into the mountains tomorrow to see if there are any prey in the snares. I'll leave the things at home to you."
