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

Ling Dalang and his companions went to town to bring back the things needed for the funeral, as well as... the coffin. Just as they entered the village, the news that Ling Silang was probably dead spread like wildfire throughout the village.

Uncle Ling and his family came over together, their faces full of sorrow, thinking that Ling Silang was already dead.

As a result... Ling's father said to Ling's eldest uncle, "Brother, you should go back first. If something happens here, I'll have the children call you. Silang said he wanted to go for a walk in the fields, so he went with his wife. They haven't come back yet."

Uncle Ling pointed to the coffin that Ling Dalang had brought back, "Then why did you bring it all back?"

"Dr. Lin said it would be a matter of the next few days. We had already ordered the things. Since Si Lang came back from the mountain, his condition has not been good. He has difficulty getting up. Today, he suddenly... got out of bed as if nothing had happened. In this situation, I can only ask Da Lang and a few others to bring the things back and prepare."

Uncle Ling had a minor ailment. When their father passed away, he was old and had fallen about six months ago. The bone analysis showed no problems, but he just couldn't get up and stayed in bed for six months.

On the day he passed away, he told his wife what he wanted to eat in the morning, specifically asking for it. His wife prepared it for him, and he ate it.

It was said that the old man, who hadn't gotten out of bed for half a year and was worried about the fields, got up and slowly walked to the fields. When he reached the edge of the field, he only stood there for a while before collapsing and stopping breathing.

"How long have you been gone?"

“It’s been an hour and a half. Mingxian is with us. She’ll come back and tell us if anything happens.”

Uncle Ling didn't know what else to say. The other uncles in the Ling family also knew about this, so they all left together.

The Ling family waited and waited, from dawn till dusk, but...they never saw anyone return.

Ling's father couldn't wait any longer. "Big brother, you guys light some torches, let's go check the fields."

"it is good."

The group lit torches and had just stepped out of the courtyard when a gust of wind blew, causing the flames on the torches to flicker and sway.

Ling Sanlang said, "It feels like it's going to rain; the air feels a bit humid."

Ling's father looked up at the sky; it was dark and there wasn't a single star in sight. "Let's hurry, it might rain tonight."

The brothers exchanged glances, all seeing the sadness in each other's eyes. There's an old saying among them.

Dead people don't walk on dry roads.

The group walked to the edge of the fields, but saw nothing.

Rain began to fall from the sky.

Ling's father and the others felt as if raindrops were falling.

Mr. Ling was extremely anxious. “No, it’s raining. We’ll split up and search, calling out as we go.”

"it is good."

The four men each carried a torch and split up to search, calling out as they went, but they heard not a single echo.

It was just getting dark in the village. Some people were asleep, and some were still awake. When they shouted, someone heard them and came out to check. They then discovered that it had started raining sometime earlier.

Those who had harvested their crops were now beginning to regret it.

"If I had known, I shouldn't have been greedy for the little money that Silang's family gave me. If I had let the crops grow for a couple more days, look at this rain. After the rain, there would definitely have been a bumper harvest."

While some regretted their actions, others were secretly pleased.

A few businesses didn't follow suit and insisted on waiting until the right time to collect their goods. Now that it's starting to rain, one of them can't stop smiling.

Uncle Ling and the others had already started harvesting, and no one was complaining at the moment. Compared to Ling Silang's situation, this little bit of crops was nothing.

They had been keeping an eye on things since they left Ling Silang's house. When they still hadn't received any news by nightfall, Ling's brothers were still worried and went to inquire.

It turned out that Ling Silang and his wife had not returned home, and Ling's father had already taken several children to look for them.

This was serious! Uncle Ling immediately sent his third, fourth, and fifth uncles back to gather the boys in their families to help search.

Soon, torches were burning in the fields. The rain was light; only a few stars were falling, which didn't affect the torches' burning.

Uncle Ling and his companions met with Uncle Ling's father.

Ling's father looked extremely pale. Seeing his younger brother like this, Ling's uncle couldn't say anything to scold him. He could only comfort him, "Si Lang's wife is a capable girl, so you don't need to worry. Let's hurry up and look for her again. It's raining, and I'm afraid it will rain harder later."

"Okay, if it rains heavily in a while, everyone should hurry home and stop looking for shelter. Silang's wife will definitely find a place to take shelter from the rain."

"Okay, let's split up and search."

The group split up to search.

From a few drops falling to a light drizzle, the torches were extinguished, and everyone could only call out in the dark, but still no one answered. About half an hour later...

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Ling's father remembered the dream that Ling Silang had told him before, and immediately called everyone to go back.

Just as the group returned to their respective homes, a torrential downpour began, pouring down as if it were falling directly down. Those who had been regretting their actions earlier now felt only relief upon hearing how heavy the rain was.

Although the grain harvest was reduced, the crops in the fields were saved. If they weren't sold to Ling Silang's family, they could at least get through the winter.

Those who hadn't gone to harvest the crops were now crying and lamenting at home, seeing the heavy rain and the darkness, filled with regret.

After Ling's father returned home, Ling's mother said that she had not found it, and Ling's children also gathered around Ling's father and mother.

"Father, Fourth Brother's wife will definitely find a place to live and take good care of Fourth Brother."

At this moment, Ling's father could only think, "Hmm, Mingxian is a woman of her own mind. There are many caves in the mountains, and with such heavy rain, I'm just afraid..."

"Even if it rains heavily in summer, it won't get cold. It's a good thing it's summer," Little Zhou said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.

Looking at her sons and daughters-in-law, who had all lost weight in recent days, and her grandchildren, Ling's mother said, "Alright, go back to sleep. With this heavy rain, they definitely won't be back tonight. They'll have to wait until tomorrow at the latest."

"Don't wear yourself out, everyone go back and rest."

After Ling's mother spoke, Ling Dalang and the others returned to their own homes.

Ling's mother and father were still in their own beds, looking out the window. The humid, hot air wafted in from them, and neither of them spoke.

After a long while, Ling's mother asked, "With such heavy rain, I wonder if he was cold when he left."

Ling's father's eyes flickered. "Probably not. Erlang's wife is right. It's a good thing it's summer, not winter."

There was another moment of silence.

Finally, Ling's mother couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed onto the bed. Ling's father felt heartbroken when he saw her like this, saying, "Si Lang would definitely not want to see you like this."

“I know, I’ll just wait a bit. He’s coming back tomorrow, and I want to see him off again. Besides, we still have arrangements for our younger sister. I won’t let anything happen to me.”

Ling's father slowly moved his body and lay down next to Ling's mother, his eyes open and vacant, as if he were thinking about something.

Everyone here is very worried, while on the other side... the space has changed drastically.
