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

Lin Hu thought he would have to go to bed hungry, but after a while he smelled a delicious aroma and heard the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen. He was overjoyed and lay on the bed grinning from ear to ear.

I waited and waited, and it felt like a long time had passed before I finally heard a sound.

Du Mingxian brought out a tray with a bowl of noodles and two side dishes, all very light. "Brother Lin, please have something to eat."

Lin Hu sat up and was about to get out of bed when Du Mingxian hurriedly put the tray aside and took a small table from the side and placed it on the bed. "Let's eat here."

Lin Hu looked at the small table in front of him and felt quite pleased.

As Du Mingxian set out the food for him, she said, "I saved someone before, who was also a patient and had difficulty eating, so I specially made this table for him."

"very good."

Lin Hu ate very quickly. He could make a bowl of noodles taste so good that it would make anyone's tongue tingle. He ate both the soup and the noodles, but he still wasn't full. He was a little embarrassed to ask for more.

"There's still some left in the pot, I'll go get some for Brother Lin."

"it is good."

Lin Hu ate two bowls but still wasn't full. Du Mingxian could only explain, "Brother Lin seems to have not eaten much for several days. He can't eat too much at once, or his body won't be able to handle it. He can eat again tomorrow."

"Okay." Lin Hu smiled awkwardly, and seeing Du Mingxian packing up, he explained, "I will pay you back the money you spent at the brokerage after I recover."

"It's alright, Brother Lin, just focus on recovering."

Lin Hu felt that Du Mingxian was acting strangely, as if she knew him. She didn't seem like someone he had bought. However, he didn't ask any questions. He didn't sense any malice from her at the moment and decided to focus on recovering his health first.

Du Mingxian packed up and left, and the thought of Wu Daniu returning with a different maid made her want to laugh.

She thought that Wu Daniu taking the person back was God's arrangement, and that if Wu Daniu worked hard in the future, he would be just like in his previous life. Who would have thought... that he would directly use his future to exchange for a servant.

It's true what they say: some people, even if God puts a broad, smooth road under their feet, will still find it too flat and choose a narrow, winding path instead.

Wu Daniu was overjoyed at that moment, and Du Mingwei kept praising him.

"My husband is so clever. He's saved the family a lot of money and we've gained a capable servant." Du Mingwei thought to herself with delight.

That's more like it. Wu Daniu was a general in his previous life. He was capable. Look... how long has it been? He got a young man to work for him without spending a penny.

He's much better than that sickly, short-lived wretch.

Wu Daniu also felt that he was clever. "I was lucky. I didn't want to save him that day. I was about to walk over when I suddenly remembered that I was missing someone at home, so I thought of bringing him back. If you hadn't suggested changing him, I wouldn't have thought of it."

“That’s all thanks to my husband. That man is young, and once his injuries heal, he’ll definitely fetch a higher price than he does now. We only exchanged one woman for him, so the broker was naturally very happy.” Du Mingwei became happier and happier as she thought about it. “My husband is really amazing. He’ll definitely have great fortune in the future.”

Wu Daniu was enjoying Du Mingwei's current adulation and felt extremely proud. He thought that with his abilities, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to marry another woman in the future.

If Du Mingxian could just divorce that sickly man and marry both of the Du sisters, wouldn't it be better to have them serving her?

Du Mingwei looked up and saw the smile on Wu Daniu's face. She assumed he was happy with what she had said, and felt even more smug. That damned woman Du Mingxian was definitely not as good at coaxing people as she was.

In her past life, Du Mingxian was just lucky; in this life, all the benefits are hers.

The Du family, Du Youtian's house.

When Widow Chen got home, Old Lady Du scolded her for running around aimlessly. Widow Chen glared at Old Lady Du and didn't say a word before rushing into the house.

Du Youtian was also unhappy. He saw Widow Chen enter the door with a cold face and said, "You've been gone for so long, what have you been doing? You didn't even say goodbye to your family before you left."

Widow Chen quietly pursed her lips and quickly stepped forward. "Hey, I just went out to inquire about something. You don't even wait for me to come back before you start complaining."

"Then tell me, what happened? Where did you go?"

"I'm going to inquire about Mingxian's family."

Du Youtian frowned. "What happened at her house again?"

“This morning I heard outside that the Ling family is going to build a clan school, and all the children in the village can go to school. What does that mean? The Ling family has so much money. You are Mingxian’s biological father. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to ask her for some money to buy some nice things to make up for it.”

Du Youtian thought back to the beginning and the end. He had approached Du Mingxian many times, but each time he hadn't gotten anything out of her. Last time, he even cried his heart out in Lingjia Village, but nothing came of it.

"That girl is hard-hearted. She wasn't good before, and now she doesn't respect me, her father."

“How could she do this? No matter what, you are her father, and she has to take care of you.”

Du Youtian wasn't very hopeful. "I'll think about this some more."

Seeing his dejected look, Widow Chen suddenly stepped forward excitedly and grabbed Du Youtian's hand, "I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"

"You said."

"Isn't she disrespectful to you, her father? How about we find something to annoy her?"

"She's already a married daughter, what could I possibly do to disgust her?"

Widow Chen smiled broadly. "You know my children. The second one is stubborn, but he's also kind and grateful. Do you think we should send him to settle her score?"

Du Youtian didn't quite understand. "You mean?"

“Isn’t her family a clan school? Then we’ll send our second child there. Now that I’m married to you, my child calls you ‘father.’ Even though you’re my stepfather, we’re still family.”

"Although Mingxian is married, she is still your daughter. Isn't the Ling family protecting her? What if we send someone over who not only gets free meals but also has to go to school? How do you think the Ling family will treat her?"

Du Youtian's eyes slowly brightened. "When the time comes, let the second son do something bad behind the scenes. It would be best if he could just make the Ling family divorce Du Mingxian."

Widow Chen rolled her eyes where Du Youtian couldn't see. Let alone Du Mingxian disowning him, if it were her? She wouldn't acknowledge such a father who couldn't bear to see his children living better than him.

How stupid.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant. It's good that the second son can keep an eye on her. If there's any trouble in the Ling family, the second son can come back and tell us in time. No matter how capable Du Mingxian is, she's still living under your control as her father."

Du Youtian was quite excited. He had mixed feelings about his daughter. He used to think she was useless, but later he realized she really was useless. She not only beat her father, but also showed no mercy to him.

“You’re right. Call your second son over. I need to have a serious talk with him.”

“Okay, you’re the father, so talk to him nicely and he’ll definitely listen to you. Whatever you tell him to do in the Ling family, he’ll definitely do in the Ling family.”
