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

Ling Silang nodded seriously, "Okay, I believe you, my fairy."

"That's good." Du Mingxian silently pondered how to prolong Ling Silang's life.

The two then went to the homes of Uncle Ling San, Uncle Ling Si, and Uncle Ling Xiao.

Finally, he also went to the homes of the clan chief and the village chief. After arriving at these two homes, Ling Silang did not repeat what he had said at his uncle's house, but he showed in front of these two families that he valued Du Mingxian very much and hoped that everyone would treat her as they would treat him.

After visiting for the past few days, it was already noon. Du Mingxian felt a little sad, but she didn't say anything. She went back and quietly prepared food for Ling Silang.

Time flies, and the workshop resumed operations on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Everyone was happier than the last, having experienced the New Year before. For those whose families were struggling, the meat distributed by the workshop was enough for them to have a good New Year.

Some couples work in the workshop, so they produce even more goods.

They were all happier than the last, and they were all working harder than the last at the start of the new year.

Du Mingxian has no plans to expand. The current output of the workshop is sufficient to supply the Wang and Ma families. It can even meet the demand of these two families for the sauce.

The supply of wine is based on the quantity available; if there is none, no wine is supplied. The main principle is that scarcity increases value.

Business is booming.

Once the Lantern Festival was over, the Queen Mother came to stay at Ling Dalang's house again. She had gone back home on the day the workshop workers took a holiday before the New Year, and she took extra meat and cloth with her before leaving satisfied.

The Queen Mother was somewhat different this time when she returned compared to before the Lunar New Year.

When Wang's mother returned, she kept scolding Wang, calling her incompetent, an ingrate, and saying that she lived such a good life while her brothers suffered, and that she was no good, etc.

Anyway, the insults can be as harsh as they want.

From the fifteenth to the twentieth, in just five days, Wang went to Du Mingxian and cried.

“I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect her to do this. If I hadn’t caught her and interrogated her, I wouldn’t have known that the key my aunt had was stolen from me and used to make a punch.”

"In the end, it's still my fault. If I hadn't taken the warehouse key, none of this would have happened."

“She’s my mother. What good would it do her if someone stole my things? And... she makes me pay her wages every month, or she’ll cause trouble.”

“What am I going to do? I always thought life would be like this and I would never get rich. Now that life is better and I’m well-off, I’m not saying I’ll completely ignore her, but she actually… is plotting against me behind my back.”

Seeing Wang Shi crying so sadly, Du Mingxian silently comforted her. After a while, Wang Shi finally calmed down. "Fourth sister-in-law, I trust you. What should we do now? I feel that if my mother continues like this, I really won't be able to live like this."

"It's not that I don't want to give her money, but I'm afraid she'll take advantage of me."

"Actually, it's not entirely hopeless, as long as you can be ruthless enough, sister-in-law." Many solutions had already flashed through Du Mingxian's mind.

Upon hearing this, Wang became anxious, saying, "How could I not be so heartless? I can do it, please tell me quickly."

"Go back and discuss it with your elder brother. Sometimes it's good to put on a show."

"acting?"

After a moment of contemplation, Wang understood what Du Mingxian meant. "Okay, okay, I understand, I understand."

"Sister-in-law, these are all minor matters. As long as you and brother are doing well, everything will be fine."

"Okay, I understand."

Wang went back home, and then secretly pulled Ling Dalang to the field to talk. Because Wang's mother was at home, she might eavesdrop, but in the wide field, no one could eavesdrop.

“I discovered that the key that my third aunt had before was secretly given to me by my mother. She stole the key from me, made a model of it, made a real one, and gave it to my third aunt.”

Ling Dalang's expression changed, and he looked at Wang Shi with some worry, "What do you think?"

“I talked to my fourth sister-in-law about this. She told me that sometimes we have to put on an act. I was thinking about how we could put on an act so that my mother would go back and stop causing trouble for us here.”

"Did you tell your fourth sister-in-law? Is she angry?" Ling Dalang asked anxiously.

Wang shook her head, "No, no, my fourth sister-in-law wasn't angry; she even comforted me."

"That's good. You must remember that our family's current life is all thanks to your fourth sister-in-law. Our workshop may be ours to outsiders, but in reality, we wouldn't have accomplished anything without her."

“If you can see things clearly, your fourth sister-in-law will be willing to entrust things to us. If you can’t see things clearly, the winery may stop here, or the winery may not even belong to us in the future.”

Ling Dalang hurriedly said that what he feared most was that Wang Shi was not clear-headed.

Wang glared at him. "Am I really that stupid? I can't even tell the difference between small things. I know perfectly well that we all depend on my fourth brother and sister-in-law. But... I want to give my mother some money every month."

"Sure, a little money is fine. You know what your family's situation is like." Ling Dalang wasn't stingy with money or generous; he just wanted to spend money to make things easier.

After all, the Wang family isn't exactly a reasonable family, and they're particularly difficult to deal with. It would be best to resolve this matter peacefully.

Wang began to whisper to Ling Dalang, "First do this, then do this, and so on."

Several days passed, and there was still no news from Ling Dalang's place. Du Mingxian assumed that Wang Shi wanted to let the matter drop, so she didn't ask any questions.

Her daily routine remained the same: taking care of Ling Shilang.

Under her careful treatment, Ling Silang's complexion improved significantly, and he looked more energetic and spirited.

Ling Silang has been studying even harder lately. If it weren't for Du Mingxian keeping an eye on him, he might even stay up all night to read. He's never idle for a moment.

On the tenth day after talking with Wang, Ling Dalang's family finally broke out.

Ling Dalang and Wang Shi started fighting, with Wang Shi refusing to back down. Ling Dalang, who also had his own temper, joined in the fight.

Ling Dalang yielded to Wang Shi, but Wang Shi did not yield to Ling Dalang and scratched several bloody marks on his face.

When Ling Silang and the others arrived, Wang's hair was disheveled and her clothes were torn open. Fortunately, she was wearing thick clothes in winter, and there were clothes underneath her clothes, so it wasn't too embarrassing.

Ling Erlang, Ling Sanlang, and others are all here.

Wang sat down on the ground, crying and accusing, "You, Ling Dalang, now that you have money, you look down on your wife who has shared your hardships, and you despise me, don't you?"

"Whether I look down on you or not, you don't know? But I know you. The workshop is a matter for the Ling family. You and your partner secretly took wine out of the workshop. You have to give me an explanation for this."

Wang looked up, her eyes red and filled with stubbornness and grievance. "What explanation do I have for you? Am I not a member of the Ling family? Do I need to tell you before I take anything?"
