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

Du Mingwei naturally knew that after Ling Silang died in her previous life, she wanted to remarry, but that old hag wouldn't allow it and even said that she had to stay for three years before leaving.

I bother.

Why?

She married into the Ling family with a clean reputation, but that good-for-nothing Ling Silang never consummated the marriage with her in the end, and the old lady made them live separately from the moment she entered the family.

The man is dead, and although she is a widow, she is still a virgin.

She can't spend her whole life watching over a dead person.

She made a scene then, quite a big one, and her family even came, but the Ling family... was more united.

The Ling family had four sons, one of whom died, leaving three. The father and his brothers were all from the same lineage, making a considerable number of people in total. Under their powerful influence, she had no choice but to remain a widow.

As for remaining a widow... well, that depends on whether she's willing to stay a widow.

She wasn't willing to just casually flirt with a few men; it was a simple matter.

When word got out, her reputation in Dahe Village was ruined. Men wanted to pounce on her whenever they saw her, and women wanted to strangle her.

I can't stand her, but I can't kill her.

In order to get revenge, the more a woman dislikes her, the more she seduces that woman's man, and finally whispers in her ear to make that woman suffer.

Those days, after she completely let go... were quite comfortable.

But her comfortable days didn't last long. After hearing about Ling Xiaomei's deeds, she lost all interest in anything else.

"Mingwei, Mingwei."

"Huh?" Du Mingwei came back to her senses.

Xu Yulan frowned. "I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear me?"

"What did Mother say?"

“I’m telling you, you should learn how to do housework. Recently, a vixen has been living in the house, so I can’t keep coming here. I also have a lot of chores to do. That widow Chen doesn’t want me to have an easy time at all. She’s always causing me trouble. You… think about your mother’s difficulties.”

Du Mingwei's face fell. "Mom, you know I've never been good at housework since I was little. What will we do if you don't help me?"

"Why don't you ask your neighbor, Aunt Wang, to come over? With Da Niu not here, no matter how much that bitch tries to come up with a plan, she won't have anywhere to use it."

Du Mingwei sighed deeply, "But Mother, I just want you to come."

“My mother also has to take care of the family, because she always has to come over to do chores for you. And those people in the family treat me like dirt.” Xu Yulan felt that her life was too difficult.

Du Mingwei frowned, dissatisfied with Xu Yulan's neglect of her, but she didn't want to say anything too harsh and offend her mother.

“Mingcheng is of marriageable age. Mother should go back and have a good talk with Grandma, find a girl from a good family to settle down with, and they can get married in two years.”

"It's still early. Your brother will probably have to wait until the sixteenth."

Seeing that Xu Yulan didn't understand her meaning, Du Mingwei simply explained, "Why doesn't Mother understand? Once you've arranged a marriage for my brother, if anything happens in the future, even if you separate the family, Mother won't give him any more money for his engagement."

"This……"

"Mother, wasn't Widow Chen's ending a bit strange?"

"Yes, she doesn't do any work. I think she's hiding something."

"Mother, we must be wary of this kind of person; you need to be careful."

"Don't worry, Mother knows," Xu Yulan said. "We'll just treat Du Mingxian's affairs as entertainment, but your affairs are the important thing. You must not associate with other men."

“Mother, don’t you know what kind of person I am? Besides, Da Niu has only been gone for a short time. Do you think I would dare to do anything reckless? I’m counting on Da Niu to be successful in the future. Maybe he’ll become a general, and I’ll become a general’s wife. How could I possibly do anything reckless?”

"As long as you know what's going on."

……

Ling family.

Although Granny Zhao also takes care of Ling Silang's meals, Du Mingxian still cooks most of them, including the bowl of porridge and chicken soup that was just brought into the room.

When Du Mingxian returned to the room after dinner, Ling Silang was in much better condition than when he had just woken up; he could already say a few simple words.

This change made Du Mingxian happy.

Ling Silang already wakes up late, and in such a short time, it's already dark.

"Are you sleepy? If you are, go to bed early and get some rest," Ling's mother said worriedly.

Ling Silang opened his mouth, his voice hoarse and slow, "I want to sleep."

"Then go to sleep. I'll go out first and let Mingxian take care of you."

After Ling's mother left, Du Mingxian reached out and moved Ling Silang further into the bed, saying, "You lie inside, I'll lie outside."

"I'm fine now, I don't need any help..."

"Why don't you need to? Do you need to pee?"

Ling Silang felt slightly embarrassed. He thought to himself, but he was too shy to say to Du Mingxian, "Call me in, brother."

"My eldest brother went to the workshop, my second brother is nowhere to be found, and my third brother went to Ling Zheng's house to keep watch."

Ling Silang's expression changed slightly. "No rush."

Seeing him like this, Du Mingxian didn't want to tease him anymore, so she got up and went out to call Ling Erlang.

After Ling Erlang came in to help Ling Silang relieve himself, he opened the window. Du Mingxian took this opportunity to quietly go to find Ling Sanlang, accompanied by Wang Fu.

"Third Brother, you and Wang Fu keep watch together. If he comes back, one of you will keep watch and the other will come back to report."

Ling Sanlang knew Wang Fu, but only knew that Wang Fu listened to Du Mingxian. He didn't know Wang Fu's specific identity. "I can manage on my own. I'll go back and call for help as soon as he comes back."

"Just in case, Wang Furen is quick-witted. The two of you can keep watch together, so you won't get tired."

Seeing Du Mingxian's insistence, Ling Sanlang had no choice but to agree, "Alright, we'll guard it together."

Du Mingxian gave the two of them some mosquito repellent before going home.

At the doorstep, Zhang's mother was gone, and now only Zhang Er was left. Since no one from the Ling family cared for him, Zhang Er's brothers had already come over to feed and drink him during the day.

I'm feeling a bit better than yesterday.

Zhang Er watched Du Mingxian walk past him, opened his mouth as if to ask if she could let him go, but the words caught in his throat. This woman probably wouldn't let him go.

Du Mingxian acted as if she hadn't seen Zhang Er at all and walked straight into the courtyard.

The window was open. When she went in, Ling Erlang was still with Ling Silang. He left when he saw her come in.

There was no smell in the room anymore, but since it was hot, we still had to open the windows.

"Are you sleepy?"

“A little,” he said.

Du Mingxian yawned. "Then let's go to sleep." She hadn't slept well for the past two days, and her brain felt sluggish. She really needed a good night's sleep.

When I wake up tomorrow morning, I need to figure out how to catch Ling Zheng; that's the important thing.

Ling Silang couldn't sleep and felt weak all over, but when he heard Du Mingxian's breathing soon become steady, he felt very sorry for her.

She must be exhausted these past few days since his accident; her dark circles have gotten much worse.

The more this happened, the more he felt he couldn't afford to get into trouble. What would she do if something really happened to him?

Just as she said.

How could she live without him?

But at twenty years old, the doctor asserted that nothing bad would happen. What should we do then?

Should I not have married her in the first place? If I hadn't married her, she wouldn't be suffering like this. Maybe she would have married into a good family, surrounded by servants, and lived a happy life.

She might marry into an ordinary family, living a simple life of daily chores, but her life will certainly be good because she'll be there for her.
