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

Wu Erniu knew that with his elder brother away, he was the eldest in the family and had to take care of his younger siblings. "It's getting late. It would be too much trouble to take her there now. Let's do it tomorrow morning."

"Sihua, go check on her injuries again. If she's not bleeding anymore, she's fine. But if she's still bleeding, then we need to figure something out," Wu Sanniu said.

Wu Sihua was a little scared, but she still went. She was the one who caused the trouble, and her second and third brothers were already trying to find a solution. She couldn't back down.

Once inside, she lifted the blanket covering Du Mingwei and saw a lot of blood on the sheets. "Second brother, third brother."

Her exclamation startled the two boys, who rushed in immediately. Upon seeing the situation inside, they made a decision on the spot.

"San Niu, you take Si Hua and the others to get ready. I'll go borrow a car now. We'll take her to town. Light a torch and keep quiet so as not to disturb others."

"it is good."

Wu Erniu went to borrow an oxcart, Wu Sanniu went to make torches, and Wu Sihua was arranged by Wu Sanniu to have Du Mingwei pack some clothes and, incidentally, check where Du Mingwei had hidden her silver.

They didn't have much money on them when they went to town; most of the money at home was still with Du Mingwei.

Wu Xiaohua followed along to look for silver.

Children seem to have their own way of finding things. Du Mingwei hid the silver that Ling Zheng had recently given her, but Wu Sihua found it. As a result, Wu Xiaohua directly found the remaining dowry of Du Mingwei.

When Wu Sanniu saw that there was quite a lot of silver, he put it into his pocket and sat at home waiting for the oxcart to return.

Du Mingwei had already fainted. After Wu Erniu returned with the cart, it took several people a lot of effort to put her on the cart. Wu Erniu and Wu Sanniu sat in front to drive the cart, while Wu Sihua hugged Wu Xiaohua and huddled at the foot of the cart.

Even with torches illuminating the night, a sense of unease still crept in.

"Second brother, what if she makes a scene when she wakes up? What if she goes to the yamen to sue me? If I kill someone, will I die too?" Wu Sihua was terrified. She really hadn't wanted Du Mingwei to die.

"Don't be afraid, she's not dead yet. If she really were, we'd think of something else." Wu Erniu was very flustered, but he still comforted his sister.

The group, filled with fear and trepidation, finally arrived in town. That night, they knocked on the door of a clinic, begging the doctor to examine Du Mingwei.

When the doctor saw that there were several children, he finally sighed and, along with the apprentice and Wu Erniu, carried Du Mingwei inside. He carefully examined her, took her pulse, and then asked her questions.

Where are your parents?

“There are no adults in our family. This is my sister-in-law. We lost our parents when we were very young, and our eldest brother raised us. He has now joined the army, so it’s just the few of us left at home,” Wu Erniu said simply.

He noticed the doctor's expression was off and asked directly, "Doctor, if there's anything you need to say, please tell us directly. Is...is the person dying?"

"No, it's just excessive blood loss, but..." The doctor glanced at her and decided to tell the truth, "She's lost the baby."

"A child?" Wu Erniu and the others were in a panic. This was their eldest brother's second child.

Wu Sanniu was the quickest-witted of them all. He hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how many months pregnant is my sister-in-law? We don't know anything about her."

"Two months. I'll prescribe some medicine. You need to take good care of her when you get back. She needs to rest and recuperate. If she wants to get pregnant again, she needs to take good care of her body first, otherwise it will be difficult for her to conceive."

After the doctor finished speaking, he lowered his head to write the prescription and did not notice that the siblings' expressions were not right.

Although Wu Erniu was a boy, after Du Mingwei became pregnant for the first time, the siblings learned a lot about women's pregnancies because they were so concerned about her.

Upon hearing what the doctor said, apart from the youngest, Wu Xiaohua, who was still somewhat confused, the other three knew that the child was not their eldest brother's.

Their eldest brother has been away for more than six months, and Du Mingwei is only two months pregnant, so the child must be another man's.

Wu Erniu was furious and stepped forward to hit Du Mingwei, but Wu Sanniu stopped him. He managed to keep his composure and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, doctor. My sister-in-law's stomach injury also needs to be treated."

"Okay." The doctor didn't ask how the patient got the wound. He prescribed the medicine they were going to take away, glanced at Du Mingwei's wound, and said, "No need to treat it. The medicine you gave me before was for stopping the bleeding."

“But there was a lot of blood on the bed,” Wu Sihua said.

The doctor saw that it was all babies, but still said what needed to be said, "There's a lot of blood on the bed because the babies in her womb also leaked out, so there's a lot of blood."

After a night of running around, the group returned to the village when it was already broad daylight. However, since the Wu family lived far away, they didn't encounter anyone.

They simply carried Du Mingwei inside and threw her onto the bed. She was still lying on the same blood-stained mattress from yesterday. No one cared about her condition. The three adults were all in a bad mood.

Because they got blood on the cart when they went there, the brothers are washing it now so they can return it to the villagers later.

"Second brother, what should we do about this? How dare she cheat on me behind my brother's back." Wu Sihua, who was terrified after stabbing Du Mingwei, was now regretting not stabbing her more.

Wu Erniu said with a stern face, "That's how it is. The family still needs her. From now on, all the housework, our clothes, everything will be her responsibility. Sanniu, you should go to school and learn more characters. We'll write to our elder brother about this later."

Wu Sanniu nodded silently, feeling very uncomfortable. "Second brother, let's go out and find out who that man is, so we'll have some idea."

"it is good."

Wu Sanniu instructed Wu Sihua, "When my second brother and I are not home, you must keep an eye on her, especially to prevent her from putting drugs in our food. That kind of woman is capable of anything."

"Don't worry, Third Brother, I will keep a close eye on things."

The siblings cleaned the car thoroughly, and Wu Erniu gave them some copper coins to return the car.

Du Mingwei felt particularly unwell. When she woke up, it was already afternoon. The courtyard was quiet, and the pain in her stomach was almost unbearable.

"Erniu."

No movement.

"Three oxen".

No movement.

"Four flowers".

No movement.

"Little flower."

Still no movement.

She listened carefully, fearing that no one was in the courtyard. Then she heard footsteps. She strained to lift her head and saw Wu Erniu and Wu Sanniu.

“I called you for ages and you didn’t respond.”

"what's up."

Upon hearing the other party's tone, Du Mingwei didn't dare to say anything harsh. She simply said, "I'm injured and can't do anything. I need someone to take care of me. Go and tell my mother to come and take care of me."

"Row."
