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

Du Mingxian wanted to say that she wasn't being silly, but after seeing Ling Silang's resistant and disapproving look, she immediately gave up.

When the Du family heard that Du Mingxian had made this request, they became anxious and pointed their fingers at her, scolding, "You... how could you do this? No one wants a woman who has been divorced."

"You've pushed me to this point. Let's see if your reputation is worse or mine. Besides, Du Mingcheng isn't married yet. I want to see which family would dare to marry their daughter into our family."

The Du family remained silent.

There are already few children in the family, and we don't know where Mingcai went. We've been searching for so long but haven't heard a single word. He just disappeared so mysteriously. Now Mingcheng is the only one left in the family. We can't let anything else happen to him.

Du Youliang stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over, "Mingxian, don't be angry. Everyone came here to try and ease the tension between you."

"Using threats as a way to ease tensions? Besides, we've already severed ties, there's no need for reconciliation." Du Mingxian glanced at the Du family members, her eyes filled with disdain, before finally fixing her gaze on Widow Chen.

Widow Chen lowered her head silently. It wasn't that she didn't want to inform them today; she had even tried to stop them. But Du Mingwei and Wu Daniu came to the door, and before long, Old Lady Du announced that she was coming over, leaving no time to prepare.

“We’re all family. We were wrong before, and we’re here to apologize to you. Besides, how can a woman not have her own family? If she doesn’t have her own family, she’ll be laughed at in her husband’s family.”

“I have a mother and a family,” Du Mingxian said calmly. “This letter of severance of ties has been witnessed. If you continue to harass me, I can’t guarantee what I might do.”

The Du family members dared not confront them directly; one or two of them were so angry their faces turned pale, but no one dared to say anything.

Seeing this, Du Mingwei had no choice but to step in herself. "Mingxian, we're all family after all. We've come here to ask for your help."

Du Mingxian looked at her coldly without replying.

"That's right. I think my two younger brothers-in-law are both good kids, but they lack the opportunity to study. Could we let them come to your clan school to study?"

Du Mingxian glanced at Wu Erniu and Wu Sanniu, her eyes filled with disgust.

“You shouldn’t come to me with this kind of thing. The clan school is managed by the clan members. If you want to study here, just go to them directly. How can I, a woman, manage these things?”

Du Mingwei knew immediately that this was a refusal. "The clan school was established by your Ling family. With just a word from you, both of them could go in to study. You're not even willing to help with this small favor?"

"Why should I help? Besides, if every relative comes over and says the same thing, wouldn't that create chaos? And you... what relationship do I have with the Wu family? You have so many schools to send them to, why do you insist on sending them to the Ling family? You wouldn't have ulterior motives, would you?" Du Mingxian was deliberately trying to misinterpret the situation.

Wu Daniu's expression changed instantly. He hadn't thought about it before. Du Mingwei said she would give it to him, so he thought it would be free. But now he realized something was wrong.

"It's not that we're short of money at home, that's why we're thinking of..."

Wu Daniu's face looked even worse.

Du Mingxian was overjoyed to see this. Du Mingwei still didn't understand Wu Daniu. He was a very proud person who cared most about others saying he had no money. Wasn't this putting Wu Daniu's face on the ground?

"You shouldn't go to school if you don't have money, because the expenses later will be huge."

This was the truth, but the Wu family heard it as an insult.

Wu Erniu's eyes reddened, and Wu Sanniu's face also turned extremely pale. The two children had very strong self-esteem and turned to leave.

With the main characters gone, Wu Daniu felt even more sorry for his younger brother and turned to leave without saying a word. Du Mingwei was a little anxious when she saw this, calling out, "Husband, husband."

With Du Mingwei leaving and the Wu family's angry attitude, the Du family could no longer stay.

"You ungrateful wretch! Now that you have a little money, you treat your family like this? You'll regret this later, you heartless wretch! I'll see how you get your comeuppance!" Old Mrs. Du cursed as she walked, her words particularly vulgar.

Finally, Widow Chen reminded him, "Mother, if you keep cursing like this, it will be even more difficult for Mingcheng to find a wife in the future."

Grandma Du immediately shut up.

Widow Chen was speechless. This family was really not satisfied with taking advantage of others. Even the Wu family wanted to come forward and take advantage of them. It was quite ridiculous.

At least she has the title of stepmother, but what is the Wu family?

As soon as the Du family entered the house, Old Mrs. Du started cursing, and Xu Yulan also started cursing. The two of them went on and on, and Widow Chen simply hid inside the house, only to find that Du Youtian was also cursing.

What is the relationship between Wu Erniu, Wu Sanniu, and Mingxian?

Du Youtian was suddenly stunned, and then said, "Even if it's not related, those two children are still Mingwei's brothers-in-law. Mingxian and Mingwei are sisters, so she should help them out."

Widow Chen was speechless. "If your sister-in-law's nephew wanted to come to our house and we asked you to take care of him, would you take care of him?"

"Why should I support them? What's my relationship with them?" Du Youtian answered subconsciously, only realizing his mistake afterward.

Widow Chen shrugged. "That settles it. It doesn't matter. So why should Mingxian support the Wu family's two children?"

Du Youtian remained silent.

"I was able to send the second son over there entirely because of you. You are Mingxian's biological father, and I am her stepmother. The second son is, in a sense, her stepson. Only when the second son gets better can you get better, so Mingxian is willing to lend a hand."

"Think about it carefully. Will those two Wu children remember Mingxian's kindness in the future?"

Du Youtian stopped speaking and stopped cursing.

"Don't always listen to what your mother says and act impulsively. Think more about what's good for you. Putting aside other things, look at the pastries Wu Daniu brought today. Was any of them for the two of us?"

"Perhaps..." Du Youtian tried to find an excuse.

Widow Chen interrupted directly, "Du Mingwei doesn't even care about you. When she came, she specially prepared things for her parents and grandparents. You're just her second uncle."

“When we separate our family in the future, the eldest son’s family will still be the eldest son’s family, but you are the second uncle, so you are not family anymore.”

Du Youtian felt bad listening to this, but what Widow Chen said was the truth. The anger he felt at the Ling family's house had subsided.

“Mingxian is in a difficult position. She is just a daughter-in-law of the Ling family. If every daughter-in-law’s family had to send someone to the Ling family, wouldn’t that cause chaos? The second son was able to go because the fourth son agreed, and the Ling family’s parents favored the fourth son. So you shouldn’t get involved in these things.”

"Okay," Du Youtian agreed, but he still felt very uncomfortable.

"There's something else I need to tell you. My period is late this month, so you might be going to be a dad."

Du Youtian, who had been lying down, jumped off the bed upon hearing this, grabbed Widow Chen's hand, and asked with a beaming smile, "Really?"
