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

Du Mingxian was even angrier, "I don't know what's wrong with this guy. There's clearly nothing between you two, yet he still attacked you. It's unbelievable..."

It makes me want to kill him.

"Ling Zheng has run away."

Ling Silang frowned.

Du Mingxian recounted in detail, "When I discovered you were missing that day, I immediately told the clan chief and the village chief. They gathered the villagers and questioned everyone, but in the end, they only found out one suspect, Ling Zheng."

"Because they said that Ling Zheng was in a panic at noon, sweating, but his face was deathly pale, which was very strange. If he was really sweating, his face would be bright red, not deathly pale."

“We felt that Ling Zheng was suspicious at the time. We went to Ling Zheng’s house and found out that Ling Zheng had said he was going to sell goods on the afternoon of your disappearance and left home.”

"Later we asked Ling Zheng about the routes he took each time he sold goods, and we drove the carriage to chase after him, but we didn't find anything. We went along both routes, but we still couldn't find him."

“We knew Ling Zheng was lying right away. When we got back, we asked Ling Zheng’s family, but they knew nothing about it either. The yamen runners from the county government stayed at our house for two days and searched for two days, but they found nothing and went back first.”

"Then everyone could only wait. We also went to the mountains to search, but Ling Zheng was hidden too well and we couldn't find him until Zhang Er appeared."

“Zhang Er is still tied to the big locust tree in front of our house. With Zhang Er there, Ling Zheng will think that Zhang Er has no way to confess, and everyone will think that Zhang Er did it. Only then will Ling Zheng be able to sneak back.”

"Once I catch Ling Zheng, I will definitely avenge you."

"But you have to get better obediently. Only when you get better can I do other things in peace. If you don't get better, I will kill Zhang Er immediately, then go find Ling Zheng. After killing Ling Zheng, I will turn myself in."

Ling Silang was somewhat agitated, but Du Mingxian seemed to see through his meaning. "As long as you are well, I can control myself. If you really abandon me, I can't guarantee what I might do."

Ling Silang blinked quickly, and Du Mingxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If he agrees, the chances of survival will increase, which is good.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Zhou brought in a bowl of white porridge. "It's porridge made with chicken broth. Doctor Lin said it's okay for Si Lang to eat some, as long as Si Lang can swallow it."

Du Mingxian stood up and took the bowl, "Thank you, Second Sister-in-law."

"Feed Silang first, and I'll bring you some later too."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian tested the temperature, and it was just right. She stepped forward, placed the porridge aside, and reached out to pick up Ling Silang. "You'll be more comfortable eating if you lean back."

"Lying down for too long is too uncomfortable, so I'll lean back for a while. Sitting down will help me recover a bit."

Ling Silang put all his strength on Du Mingxian. Du Mingxian was already strong before, and after drinking spiritual water, she was stronger than an adult man.

When she lifted Ling Silang up, she felt...light as a feather.

Du Mingxian fed him very slowly. Ling Silang was so sick that a lot of the porridge would spill out with every spoonful she fed him, but she was very patient.

He spilled it, and she wiped it off, each spoonful better than the last.

She might even compliment, "You eat so much with this spoonful, it's really good."

She ate half of the bowl of porridge she spilled. Du Mingxian felt that this was good enough. At least she had eaten and drunk something, and her chances of survival had increased.

After feeding the child the porridge, Ling's mother came in. Her hair had been combed again, her face had been washed, and she looked much better than she had in the morning.

"Mingxian, I'll keep you company. You go and eat."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian went to eat, and Ling's mother started nagging about Ling Silang.

"You have to take good care of yourself. Mingxian can't do without anyone. She hasn't been eating properly these past few days. All the fat on her face is gone, and now her chin is sharp."

“Everyone in the village says Mingxian is ruthless, but Mother thinks Mingxian is a good person. She was the most worried when something happened to you. She was also smart and was the first to notice that something was wrong with Zhang Er, so she forced Zhang Er to take us to find you.”

"If it weren't for her intelligence, we might not have found you yet."

“When your mother was arranging your marriage, she felt that Du Mingwei was a lucky girl, perfect in every way. But now, it seems that God has truly blessed you, sending Mingxian to your side in the end. She is the real lucky girl.”

……

"What real blessed woman? Bah! It's just nonsense from others." Du Mingwei was very sarcastic and even extremely disgusted.

She was doing well in the Du family, but after marrying into the Wu family, she really didn't have any good fortune.

Before, she could easily find some good things when she went out, but after marrying into the Wu family, she had nothing left.

It must be because getting married ruined her good fortune.

"Mother, how can you say the same things as those people?"

Xu Yulan waved her hand, "I only came to tell you because I heard this gossip. I heard that Ling Silang's health is failing. I wonder if those people who said she was a lucky woman are proven wrong."

"If she were truly a blessed woman, Ling Silang should be in good health. That would be the blessing of a blessed woman. You're just talking nonsense."

Du Mingwei was overjoyed to hear the news. "It's good that his body is failing." Counting the days, Ling Silang would spend the rest of his life in bed until his death.

Xu Yulan looked at her daughter, hesitant to speak.

"Mother, is there anything else you haven't said? Is there anything we can't say between us that makes you hesitate so much?"

"Oh, I've overheard some gossip."

"what happened?"

Xu Yulan finally let out a long sigh and said, "You, Da Niu isn't here, so don't get too close to other men. Those women in the village love to gossip."

Du Mingwei clenched her fist on her lap, but her voice remained perfectly calm. "What did you say? What's there to say?"

"That's why I say that. Those people love to spread rumors. They said you were talking to a man a few days ago, and you were standing very close to each other. They even said some nasty things. When your mother heard that, she scolded you back. You don't need to worry."

"But I still hope you can be well. You can't have too many of these rumors. Too many rumors are not good for you."

Du Mingwei was also angry. "What kind of man is he? He's just a peddler. He sells things, and he has good stuff. I can't even get close to look at the goods. Which woman in the village hasn't bought something from a peddler?"

"Why do they start spouting nonsense when it comes to me? I think these people are just jealous of me."

Xu Yulan agreed, "That's right, these people are just jealous of you, so you have to be more careful. You can't win an argument with all of them."

“If Da Niu were here, things would be better. Now that Da Niu has joined the army, it’s just you and the kids at home. I think those people… are really just jealous.”

“Your mother will also be careful. You should also be careful. It’s fine if the rumors don’t start yet, but if they spread and your younger siblings find out, they might start talking nonsense in front of Da Niu. How will you live your life then? You won’t be able to explain yourself.”
