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

"Thank you, mother."

"You, didn't your mother tell you not to be so polite to her?"

Ling Silang chuckled, "Mingxian has been very good to me. She offended the Zhang family because of me. I'm afraid that if I'm gone, she will be retaliated against by the Zhang family."

The Zhang family has many men. No matter how capable Mingxian is, she is still a woman, and she is afraid that the other party will use underhanded tricks.

Ling's mother smiled and then froze, suddenly realizing how thoughtful her son was. She said, "Don't worry, once you're gone, if Mingxian is willing, I... will find her a good husband in the future."

Ling Silang froze, his heart aching.

His wife.

The thought that after he died, she would marry someone else and be with another man made even breathing painful for him.

Although Du Mingxian was working inside, she could still hear every word of the conversation outside and it touched her heart.

Wu Daniu was always scheming against his own people, but Ling Silang always thought of her, even fearing that she would be bullied after his death.

Is this the difference between loving and not loving?

Therefore, the statement "It doesn't matter who you spend your days with" is incorrect; it's true that life is different no matter who you spend it with.

After the mother and son finished chatting outside, Ling's father carried Ling Silang into the house, and Ling's mother tidied up the chairs in the yard before Du Mingxian brought the soup she had made into the house.

Just as Ling Silang lay down, and his father was about to leave, he saw Du Mingxian carrying a bowl in, so he quickly retreated, afraid of disturbing his son and daughter-in-law.

Du Mingxian stepped forward and said, "Would you like some soup? It's made with fruit."

"Great! The soup you make must be delicious."

"Okay, let me help you up."

After drinking half a bowl, Ling Silang could no longer drink any more. "My appetite is failing me."

"I served you too much. You're not in the right health to eat too much right now."

Seeing her calm face, Ling Silang took her hand and asked, "Do you want to go back to the Du family?"

"Ok?"

Ling Silang suddenly remembered her relationship with the Du family and changed his words, "Why don't you go to the county? Those people from the Xu family won't dare to treat you badly, and your mother is there too. You can live a more comfortable life there."

Du Mingxian understood what he meant, and because she understood, she was a little angry. "What do you mean?"

"I……"

silence.

Endless silence.

The two looked at each other, and no one spoke.

In the end, Ling Silang was the first to give in, saying, "I want a divorce."

"You're still not fully recovered, yet you're thinking about so many things." Du Mingxian reached out to help him lie down. "Instead of wasting time thinking about these things, you should rest and get better as soon as possible. That's the most important thing."

Ling Silang could tell she was angry, but after she turned to leave, he still grabbed her hand. "People's hearts are unpredictable. I don't know how the people around me will react after I leave. Leaving now is the best choice for you."

"What do you take me for, Du Mingxian?"

“I…” Ling Silang sighed heavily, “Let’s sign a divorce agreement, just in case.”

"No need. No one in this world has been born who would want to bully me."

Ling Silang shook his head. "People change. Divorce is a good choice for you."

Du Mingxian almost laughed in anger, "Then what about the business I left with the Ling family? They came up with the ideas, are you just going to pack up and walk away?"

“I will coordinate to buy you a piece of land in a village outside the county town. You can set up another workshop there and keep the family workshop business running for as long as you can.”

“You know, all those businesses were brought in by me. If I reopen the workshop, your eldest brother and sister-in-law, and your second brother and sister-in-law’s businesses will probably not be able to continue.”

Ling Silang laughed first, "You're not that kind of person. You wouldn't just stand by and watch them suffer."

"I won't care. The me you see isn't the real me."

Ling Silang wasn't afraid of Du Mingxian's attitude at all. "Because of me, you care about me, and you'll have more concern for my family. You won't just watch them go."

"But... I don't know what will happen to my brothers after I leave, so I can't afford to gamble. People's hearts can change."

He naturally believed that his brother wasn't that kind of person, but nothing is absolute.

What if something happens later, and her brother and sister-in-law betray her trust? He would surely be uneasy knowing this in hell after he dies.

Unable to protect her for a lifetime, he wanted to deal with what he could think of first.

Du Mingxian was so angry at his behavior that she laughed. "If my eldest brother and second brother heard you say these words, they would be so heartbroken."

Ling Silang smiled wryly, "They are my brothers, and I have always felt indebted to them, so I don't care about this."

Du Mingxian shook off his hand. "So, you think that people want to make up for what they owe me now, so that they won't owe me anything anymore, is that right?"

Not really.

Seeing how angry Du Mingxian was, he didn't dare to say anything more, and even began to reflect on whether he had made a mistake in saying what he had just said.

He's been thinking about this a lot these past two days in bed.

People change when they leave. He doesn't know how long his family's affection for him will last. While it lasts, they might still take care of Mingxian out of respect for him, but what if their affection for him is gone?

When interests are at stake, it becomes impossible to distinguish things clearly, and there will always be times when conflicts of interest arise.

"I'm doing this for your own good, please think about it."

Du Mingxian was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Ling Silang, but looking at his pale face, she couldn't bring herself to do it. In the end, she could only say indignantly, "Just take good care of yourself and don't think about anything else."

"I still insist, you..."

Du Mingxian was quite angry. "Have you thought this through? If you give me the divorce papers and then recover from your illness, I will not be with you again. Divorce means breaking off the relationship, and I, Du Mingxian, will not turn back."

Ling Silang nodded solemnly. His illness had been predicted by the doctor since birth, and he was told he wouldn't live long. Now that he was nineteen, he had lived a full life.

"Remember your words." Du Mingxian said and left, not wanting to pay any more attention to Ling Silang. How could there be such a person?

As I strolled through the village and saw the crops growing so well in the fields, my frustration finally dissipated a bit.

Many people in the village planted soybeans and chili peppers this year, but what people need most is food, so everyone also planted a lot of wheat and rice, which will be ready for harvest in a few days. The deep green has now slowly faded away.

It will be ready to receive in just a few days.

Just then, an auntie passed by, chatting as she walked.

"The weather this year is unbearable. Not a single drop of rain has fallen, and it's so hot it's killing me. I'm really hoping for a good downpour."

"Don't get your hopes up. The autumn harvest is just around the corner. If it rains now, all the crops in the fields will be ruined, and everyone will be left with nothing but the northwest wind."

"It'll rain, but not a downpour, that'll be good. It'll be perfect for irrigating the crops and improving the harvest, right? That's what we've been looking forward to all year."
