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

Wang was already on the verge of collapse when she suddenly heard her mother's voice coming from somewhere else. She turned her head and saw that familiar face.

He looked at the woman he was holding with disbelief, "You..."

It wasn't her mother; it wasn't her mother at all.

At this moment, Ling Sanlang took the lit torch and shone it on the face of the captured thief. The moment they saw the thief's face clearly, everyone was shocked.

The firelight made everything in the darkness impossible to hide.

Du Mingxian was shocked. She never expected that the thief was... Aunt Ling San and her eldest daughter-in-law, who was also her niece.

When they saw it, the others were shocked, but then felt it made sense, except for Ling's father, who found it hard to accept.

Seeing this, Du Mingxian was at a loss for what to do. If she dealt with it too harshly, would Ling's father be able to accept it?

Aunt Ling was stunned. Wang rushed up to her and said something. Before she could react, the torch was already shining on her face, and she couldn't dodge it.

Everyone stared at her. After a moment of stunned disbelief, she erupted in anger, "What...what are you doing?"

“I also want to ask Third Aunt that question. Why are you here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? And why are you taking our workshop’s wine with you?” Du Mingxian took two steps forward, her eyes filled with disgust for Third Aunt Ling.

Aunt Ling has always been a formidable figure in the village, and she also likes to take advantage of others. Now that she's been caught red-handed, after feeling guilty at first, she said, "I was just thinking that if you need to ship the goods tomorrow, I'll bring your sister-in-law to help."

When Wang saw that it wasn't her mother, she felt a surge of anger that had been building up for days, and she immediately wanted to unleash it. "How could you say such a thing? You took our things and you call it helping? What kind of good family helps others in the middle of the night?"

"I had chores at home during the day, so I thought I'd come over at night."

"Third Aunt, the wine that went missing from our house the other day, you stole it too, didn't you?"

“Steal what? How could I have stolen it? It wasn’t me.” Aunt Ling refused to admit it and was very angry, wanting to curse.

Wang sneered, "We've caught them red-handed, and you're telling me it wasn't stolen? Are all these people blind?"

"I told you it wasn't me, why don't you believe me?"

"What about today?"

Aunt Ling wanted to make up a reason, but then she realized that everyone had already seen it, and it seemed pointless to say anything. "I... my family just built a new house, and we don't have much furniture. I want to buy some decent pieces of furniture."

"You want to buy furniture, so you come to our workshop to steal it. Does your third uncle not know what you're doing?" Wang Shi was now holding onto Aunt Ling tightly, wanting to see how Aunt Ling would compensate her.

Aunt Ling immediately sat down on the ground, saying, "I'm so bitter. We were living a good life, but suddenly your third uncle told us we had to move. We moved because of your family's workshop."

"If your workshop is still using our land, what's wrong with me coming over to take a few jars of wine?"

Du Mingxian was amused by Aunt Ling's remarks; what kind of robber logic was that?

“We not only gave you money, but also built you a new courtyard. We even found you a plot of land for your house. That plot of land is our family’s land. Think about it carefully, where did your family lose out?”

"How can we not lose out? Our courtyard has been there for so many years, it brought us good fortune. Now that you've taken it away, how can we not lose out? We've lost so much! We should never have given up the courtyard in the first place!" Aunt Ling insisted, feeling like she had suffered a huge loss.

Ling's father said to Ling Dalang, "Go and call your third uncle over, and also call your eldest uncle over."

"it is good."

Aunt Ling still had reservations about her husband. "Second brother, you can't be heartless. Your family is doing the best right now, while the rest of us are struggling. You won't help us, fine, but this little thing, are you trying to prevent your brother and me from living a good life?"

Ling's father didn't speak, clearly too angry to talk to Ling's third aunt. Even if he had something to say, he would talk to his third brother, not his sister-in-law.

Ling's mother was also quite angry. "Third sister-in-law, since you know that this matter will make things difficult for you and your third brother, why do you still insist on doing this? Can't you just behave yourself?"

“I also want to live a good life, but look at our family’s situation. Your children are all in school, but what about ours? One or two of them are struggling to get enough to eat and wear.”

“Third Aunt, our village now has a clan school, and children from the clan can study for free. Even children from different clans in the village won’t have to pay. You just don’t want those few children to go, right?” Liu said quietly from the side.

Aunt Ling's pride seemed to have been trampled underfoot. She glared angrily, "What do you know? There are only a few people in our family. Each child is only half a laborer. If they don't work, what will I do in the future?"

“Our family is nothing like yours. You have such a big workshop, and you’re all brothers. What’s wrong with helping each other out?”

Ling's father and the others remained silent. Even Du Mingxian was at a loss for words, feeling that Aunt Ling was a very mysterious person.

No one paid attention to what Aunt Ling said until Uncle Ling came over, saw the situation, and slapped Aunt Ling across the face.

Aunt Ling had been in the Ling family for many years and had never been treated like this before. Uncle Ling had never hit her either. Now that she had been slapped, she was so shocked that she lost her hearing. It was as if all the sounds had disappeared, leaving only the ever-accelerating heartbeat in her chest.

"Does the family lack you for food or drink? All the money earned by the children is handed over to you, and yet you come here to steal. What are you trying to do with your eldest daughter-in-law? Do you want to rebel against heaven?" Uncle Ling was so angry that his head was throbbing. He was in so much pain.

My head hurts, and my heart aches too.

His wife has flaws, but they've lived a decent life for many years. He often tries to restrain her, since everyone has their little hobbies, and there's just no way to explain them.

So he was always willing to help others in the village and maintain good relationships with them, so that if his wife ever took advantage of someone else, they would let it go out of respect for him.

For so many years, until his grandson grew up, he was always good, but... but I never expected this, I never expected this.

Aunt Ling had never been treated like this before, and she was furious. "You dare hit me? I'm not going to live with you anymore! I want a divorce!"

“Fine, divorce.” Uncle Ling agreed immediately, still angry.

Hearing this, Aunt Ling became even angrier. She sat down again, which was about to get up. "I really can't live like this. I've given birth to your children and managed the household for so many years, and now you want a divorce from me."
