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

At noon, as the weather grew hotter, Ling's mother approached the house. "Mingxian, what are you going to do about Zhang Er outside?"

"Many people came today and advised me to make the Zhang family pay compensation and release Zhang Er, saying that it would damage my reputation if word got out."

Du Mingxian sat up straight. "Mother, you're just putting all the blame on me. You're saying I disagree and you can't do anything about it. I won't listen to anyone."

"Mother ignored them. I just don't know what your plans are for Zhang Er."

“Use him to lure out Ling Zheng. Ling Zheng will only come out if he is there. Without him... Ling Zheng might not come back. When Ling Zheng comes back and we catch him, I will beat Zhang Er up before letting him go.”

Ling's mother was filled with regret. "I really shouldn't have refused the Zhang family earlier because of some pride. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened."

“Mother, this is his tribulation. Perhaps after this tribulation, his health will improve. Every cloud has a silver lining. It’s still too early to say anything.”

"Mother believes in you, Mother believes in you."

Ling's mother did not believe that Ling Silang would get better, but she believed in Du Mingxian.

Since Du Mingxian entered the Ling family, the Ling family's life has gradually improved. The youngest son had always been sickly and needed to take medicine every few days, but since he got married, he hasn't needed to take medicine for a long time.

This is all thanks to Du Mingxian's good fortune, so this time she hopes that Mingxian's good fortune can protect Silang and keep him safe. As long as he is alive, that's all that matters.

Seeing that Ling's mother was not in a good state, holding her hand very tightly and looking dazed, Du Mingxian sighed inwardly, "Mother, take it one step at a time. She has already taken her medicine this morning, and Doctor Lin said that if she doesn't wake up this afternoon, she will wake up tomorrow. These are all good omens."

"Yes, yes, I... I just feel at ease holding your hand."

What else could Du Mingxian say? She let Ling's mother pull her along, and then the two of them sat together on the edge of the bed, waiting for Ling Silang to wake up.

Ling Silang felt like he had a very long dream in which he was about to die, severely dehydrated, and on the verge of death.

Just then, he heard his wife's voice. She told him to live, that he absolutely had to live.

There seemed to be something in his mouth, drop by drop, and he tried to swallow it.

Every time he did this action, his throat hurt terribly in his dream, but because he swallowed more, the pain gradually decreased, providing much relief.

He felt more and more water, and after drinking it, he felt much better and his mind gradually cleared up.

He could feel his wife feeding him water. He tried to open his eyes to see, but no matter what he did, he couldn't. Eventually, he felt dizzy from exerting too much force, and then he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he opened his eyes and saw his wife lying by the bed.

It seemed to be dusk, and it was difficult to see inside the house, but judging from the noise, only the wife was there.

He gently raised his hand, wanting to touch his wife's head, but... he had no strength, not at all. It seemed he could only move his fingers, not lift his whole hand.

He tried several times but couldn't get it to work, and ended up sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Du Mingxian woke up with a start and sat up abruptly. She saw that the person on the bed who had been keeping their eyes closed had opened them. She was overjoyed. "You're awake."

"Hmm." His throat was very dry and sore.

"Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

He shook his head, but felt dizzy all the time.

Du Mingxian noticed that Ling Silang's expression was off and knew he was not feeling well. "Lie down and don't move. I'll call Doctor Lin over."

Ling Silang simply blinked to indicate that he understood.

Du Mingxian rushed out in a panic, her voice urgent, "Dr. Lin, Dr. Lin."

Her shout startled everyone in the house.

Dr. Lin ran very fast and went straight into the room. When he saw that Ling Silang had woken up, he said in surprise, "It's even faster than I expected."

He seemed to be feeling very unwell.

After examining him again, Dr. Lin said, "It's good that you've woken up, and your condition is better than when you came down from the mountain. You should continue taking your medication."

When Dr. Lin asked her a question, Du Mingxian nodded slightly.

"Then I'll go revise the prescription now and get the medicine again."

"it is good."

"Dr. Lin, write it down, I'll go get it." Ling Dalang and the others had already gone inside. He glanced at Ling Silang, then hurriedly followed Dr. Lin out, intending to go to town to get the medicine.

The rest of the Ling family gathered around the bed, with Ling's father and mother at the front.

Ling's mother's eyes were red and swollen. She had been crying uncontrollably before, but now she held back her tears. "It's good that you're awake. It's good that you're awake."

Tears welled up in Ling's father's eyes, his throat was burning, but in the end he couldn't utter a single word, just staring intently at Ling Silang.

Ling Erlang said, "Silang, you're finally awake! The whole family was terrified."

Ling Silang forced a smile, but seeing how difficult his movements were and how thin he looked, none of them dared to linger and they all left.

Ling's mother wanted to stay longer, but she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears, so in the end she could only leave.

Only Du Mingxian and Ling Silang remained in the room.

"You lie down and rest. This time I was too slow and found you too late, but you've woken up now. I will definitely not let you leave too soon."

"After Dr. Lin treated you, he told the family to prepare for your funeral. My mother's tears never stopped, and my father has been silent all this time. He hasn't even gone to the workshop in the last few days and has been staying at home."

“My elder brother and sister-in-law just went to the workshop for a quick look around and then came back to stay in the yard. They even suggested that the workshop staff take a break for the next couple of days.”

"But as you know, our business is in urgent need of supplies, especially medical alcohol, which is all destined for the Ministry of War. We can't afford to delay, so we have no choice but to keep the workshop running."

"My second brother told everyone to rest. There's still some sauce being made, enough to supply both families. My second brother and sister-in-law said they don't have the mind to manage the business right now."

"You know, there were few chilies last winter, so there wasn't much stock. This year, many families in our village have planted several acres of chilies and soybeans. There's plenty of stock this year, and there are many people in the workshops, so there's a lot of sauce."

“Third brother and third sister-in-law have been staying in this courtyard recently. Mother fainted because of you, and third sister-in-law and the others have been taking care of her. Third brother was afraid that something might happen here, so he didn’t go back.”

"The children were quite well-behaved. None of them ran away or caused trouble. They all came back obediently. Granny Zhao made them some food, and after eating, they went to the clan school."

"Even Sanbao, who dislikes reading the most, has been quiet these past two days."

At this point, Du Mingxian paused and said, "The reason I was able to find you that day was because of Zhang Er. You know Zhang Er, right? He's my mother's good friend, the extraordinary person who brought several sons to our house for matchmaking."
