"Zhang Er is her son. The names of her sons are all very casual, Zhang Da, Zhang Er, Zhang San, Zhang Si, they just come up with them on the spot, but they are much better than names like Gou Dan."

"Zhang Er came to my house looking for my younger sister. I sensed something was wrong with what he said after just a few words, so I stabbed him in the arm. That kid's pretty stubborn."

"Finally, I stabbed his leg again before he agreed to take me to find you. It was in the mountains, and the road was quite long. The more I walked, the more anxious I became. I was worried that you wouldn't make it to our place."

"When we got to the cave entrance, my legs went weak, so I walked ahead and stopped moving forward. My mother and the others thought I had discovered something and asked why I wasn't moving."

"I was so scared at the time. I was afraid that when I saw you, your body would be cold. I wondered what I would do?"

"When I married you, it wasn't of my own free will. My family made me marry, so I did. Besides, you originally chose Du Mingwei. But after I married into the family, my family treated me well, and you treated me well. I think..."

"I want to live a good life with you. No matter how far you go in your career, I will be with you. I also want to have children for you, and we will have many more."

"The children run around in the yard, and we sit under the eaves watching them."

"When the kids fight, we protect the one we like the most."

“If a child yells at me, you should stand there and teach him that he shouldn’t talk to his mother like that.”

"I've thought about so many things, but I never imagined... that you would leave me so soon."

“On my wedding night, my parents took me back to the Du family. I thought they were going to send me back, but they didn’t. On the way back to the village, my mother told me that the doctor said I wouldn’t live past twenty.”

"At that time, I thought, if you are a good person, I will find a way to save you; if you are a bad person, and you die at the age of twenty, I will be able to live a good life on my own after I become a widow."

"But after I entered the Ling family, I found more and more that you are very good, so good that I can't bear to see you leave, so good that if something really happens to you, I feel fear, apprehension, and worry. I don't know how I should live from now on."

"Without you, I don't dare to think about what I'll do."

"So I've always wanted to take good care of your health myself. I get anxious every time I see you're not feeling well. I told you I'm a fairy from heaven, and you said you believed me."

"So the fairy added a special ingredient to the food she made for you. Eating it will cure your illness. In a day or two, I will restore your health."

“I was secretly delighted to see that you were feeling much better recently. You can’t live without me for the rest of your life, and I’m going to take good care of you for the rest of my life.”

“I’ve heard that when a couple is together, the one who dies first enjoys the good life, while the one who dies later suffers. You know, since we got together, I’ve been worried about your health all the time.”

“I’m terrified that something might happen to you. In this situation, shouldn’t you be living a better life? You can’t enjoy life. Even if you do, it should be me who enjoys life. I must go before you.”

Du Mingxian stared intently into his eyes, speaking her heart out word by word, while gently holding his hand.

Ling Silang was unaware that his eyes were already wet with tears.

"The doctor said you had a very strong will to live this time, which is a big reason why you were able to wake up. So I hope you get better, you must get better."

You can't walk in front of me.

“When I saw you in the cave, you were barely breathing. At that time, you only had one soul and one spirit left. I was terrified. I even prayed to all the gods to protect you. I would do anything as long as you could live.”

“After I got back, I tied Zhang Er up. People from the Zhang family came to try to rescue him, but I beat them up. Then people from Zhangjia Village came. There were so many of them. I was so scared.”

“I’m afraid they’ll come and do something to me. I’m thinking, my man hasn’t woken up yet, and there’s no one to protect me. What am I going to do?”

"But then my third aunt stood up and scolded me, and other people in the village also stood up. They protected me and stopped the people from Zhangjia Village. I think it must be you protecting me in secret."

“The people from Zhangjia Village left, but they weren’t willing to leave. They might come back later. I’m not very bright, so I’m counting on you to stand up for me.”

“Even so, I don’t want to let Zhang Er go. I got information out of Zhang Er that it was Ling Zheng who tied you up and knocked you unconscious. I don’t have any impression of this person. I don’t even know Ling Zheng. I don’t know why he would do such a cruel thing to you.”

"Did you have a past conflict?"

Ling Silang was the person involved, so he naturally knew who it was, but in his memory, there was only Ling Zheng.

That day, he felt a tightness in his chest, so he decided to go for a walk in the village. He ran into Ling Zheng while he was strolling around.

"Si Lang, I have something I'd like to ask you."

"Brother Ling Zheng, what's wrong?" Ling Silang was not on guard with Ling Zheng. "Did you get into trouble outside?"

Ling Zheng nodded, "You know I've always made a living by selling goods. Recently, I've encountered a problem that I don't know what to do. You're an educated person, so I'd like to hear your opinion."

"Then let me hear what Ling Zheng has to say, but I can't guarantee that I can give you the right answer."

Ling Zheng pointed to the riverbank, "It's too hot here, let's go for a walk by the river, it's hard to explain in a few words."

“Okay.” Ling Silang followed along.

The two had played together when they were young. As they grew up, Ling Zheng became a peddler with his father and brother, while Ling Silang was in poor health and had to study, so he didn't have much time to interact with the children in the village.

The two walked and talked about things from their childhood.

Ling Zheng said, "It's been so long. In the blink of an eye, we've all grown up. You're even married now. I still remember when we were little, we would walk together to play like this. Whenever you were unwell or had an attack, and your older brother and the others weren't around, I would carry you on my back."

"Yes." Ling Silang nodded. "Besides my brother and the others, Ling Zheng is the one I play with the most, and he is also the one who doesn't mind my sickly body the most."

Ling Zheng burst into laughter.

When the two reached the riverbank, Ling Silang finally asked, "Speak."

Ling Zheng pointed to a large rock by the river, "Let's go sit over there for a while, and I'll explain slowly."

"it is good."

Ling Silang happened to be close to the big rock.

He turned around first, and Ling Zheng was right behind him.

Ling Silang turned around and took a step when he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then he lost consciousness.

He himself did not know what grudge he held against Ling Zheng that would lead Ling Zheng to treat him this way.

Seeing that Ling Silang seemed to be reminiscing, Du Mingxian didn't disturb him. It wasn't until he frowned that she asked, "Do you have any grudges with Ling Zheng?"

Ling Silang blinked twice, and Du Mingxian quickly asked, "You two don't have any grudges? If you do, blink once; if not, blink twice."

He blinked.
