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

Chen Yu slowly began to tell his story.

Chen Yu lived in the town and had a good life growing up. His father was an accountant, so he went to school from a young age.

There were three children in his father's generation. His father was the youngest. However, when they lived in the village, because his father was intelligent, he always liked to run around when he was young and became close to the son of the landlord in the village.

Because of this, my father learned to read and write, and he learned to do accounts, all thanks to the landlord's son.

Later, the landlord's daughter married a powerful man, and the whole family left. His father, being intelligent, hardworking, and studious, gradually rose to the position of head manager.

Chen Yu had good conditions when he was young and learned things quickly, so his father always wanted him to take the imperial examination route.

But his good fortune didn't last long. His father was killed by bandits while escorting goods, and he became a fatherless child.

His mother was a gentle and kind woman. After giving birth to him and his sister, she never had any more children. His father passed away when he was ten years old, which became a source of great pain for him.

The eldest and second eldest uncles in the family directly tried to seize their family property.

Because of this, he didn't hesitate to frame his mother for having an affair, and ultimately caused her death.

His sister is only two years younger than him. After losing their parents, the two siblings depended on each other for survival. When their family property was taken away, they had no choice but to hope that they would grow up a little more and a little more.

He went out every day to find ways to earn money, and after a while, he actually figured it out and eventually became a shop assistant.

He climbed step by step to the position of manager. His family, seeing his abilities, came to him to curry favor and leech off him, but he would not allow it.

His greatest concern in his life was his younger sister, so he carefully selected a refined and cultured scholar for her.

That guy was very poor, but he was extremely good to his sister.

Therefore, he willingly used his own earnings to support his brother-in-law's education.

Few scholars persevere to the end; some even develop crooked ways while reading.

His younger sister was very happy and soon became pregnant. His brother-in-law was also going to take the autumn exam, so he gave him all his savings.

They always thought, "A poor family can travel richly."

Who would have thought that the guy was a complete fraud? Not only did he not go on the scientific expedition, but he also used the money he was given to keep a mistress outside, who was already pregnant.

His sister had a difficult childbirth, and the midwife they hired wasn't confident in her abilities, so he had to ask for the best midwife in the city, only to find out that she was delivering babies for someone else.

He had no choice but to swallow his pride and go to her, thinking that if she gave birth early and the midwife came, his sister might still have a chance to be saved.

But when he arrived, he found out that the midwife had gone to deliver the baby for his brother-in-law's mistress. Moreover, his brother-in-law had used the money he had given him to buy the entire small courtyard outside, and had also bought a maid and a servant to take care of his mistress.

How could he accept this.

He thinks about how to make money every day, how to make his sister happier, less tired, and less miserable.

Her younger sister felt sorry for him and her husband, and she never skimped on food or clothing. She gave all her money to her husband, saying that a man should never be without money when he is away from home.

My brother-in-law wants money for a poetry gathering today, and he wants money to buy books tomorrow.

In the end, the younger sister even earned money by sewing and washing clothes for others, which she then gave to her husband.

It was only at that moment that he realized that all the money he and his sister had saved was for others—to help others buy houses and support women.

He couldn't help but hit his brother-in-law. The woman inside gave birth, and without saying a word, he grabbed the midwife and left.

Regardless of his brother-in-law's character, he was determined to save his sister and her child. Whether or not he had a brother-in-law, he would take good care of his sister and her child.

He dragged the person back home and asked the midwife to go in and save the person, but his brother-in-law, whether on purpose or not, ran back and questioned him about why he had hit the person.

The two were arguing quietly outside, while the baby was being born inside.

His sister asked what was happening outside. The midwife didn't know, so she told her about the delivery. His sister was also a very intelligent woman, and she could tell from the whole story that something was wrong.

She didn't have the strength to give birth, so she had her brother-in-law called in, even though it wasn't in accordance with custom.

He tried to stop her, but couldn't; his sister was extremely stubborn.

When her brother-in-law confessed that he had been having an affair and had a child with another woman, her sister's eyes widened in shock, and she died without ever giving birth.

He attacked his brother-in-law, even intending to kill him, and drew his knife, but he didn't kill the grandson. He was only injured in the arm before someone grabbed him and then officials from the yamen came and took him away.

The brother-in-law's affair is bad, but there are no rules that make it a crime for a man to keep a mistress or for the mistress to have a child. At most, it's just dishonorable.

My sister died along with her unborn child, not because of her husband, but because childbirth is a life-threatening situation for women.

And the fact that he injured that grandson was real, so... he was imprisoned for a year and a half.

After his release from prison, he lost all interest in working as an accountant and instead inquired everywhere about the whereabouts of that bastard. Perhaps fearing his revenge upon his release, the bastard had run away with a woman.

escape?

His last relative in this life.

So after finding out the man's whereabouts by all means, they investigated all the way and finally found him.

The woman with that grandson was someone else, not the one who had given birth to his child back then. This time, he remained calm and didn't alert her.

Instead, he found work locally and worked while simultaneously devising solutions.

He worked there for ten years, rising from a junior apprentice to a manager, possessing skills, shrewdness, money, and connections.

Instead of dealing with Sun quickly and decisively, he tortured him bit by bit, slowly cutting him to pieces, until he finally broke down and committed suicide.

Once a person lets go of that breath, their state of mind will change.

With his grandson dead, he lost all desire for revenge and felt that there was no point in living. If his employer was in trouble at this time, he couldn't even protect himself, let alone his fellow employees.

So he had nothing to do. He could open his own shop, but he preferred to work for others.

So I asked an old friend to help me see if there were any suitable jobs, and that's how I ended up here.

Du Mingxian was surprised after hearing Chen Yu's story. Chen Yu was truly frank, even recounting how he ultimately schemed against his inhuman son-in-law.

Such sincerity.

Du Mingxian was in dire need of manpower, so she naturally had to take him on.

"Okay, you can follow me. When you're doing things for me, keep your mouth shut, keep your eyes open, and listen carefully. And one more thing, be absolutely loyal."

"Yes."

"Alright, you can stay at the shop for now. I haven't decided what kind of business to do with the shop yet. It's not too late to start once I've figured it out."

"Yes."

Du Mingxian left Chen Yu some silver so that he could buy some daily necessities and some food, and stay there for the time being.

On her way back to the Xu family's house, Du Mingxian thought that such a small shop seemed only suitable for opening a cosmetics shop.
