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

After a moment's hesitation, Zhou said, "How about we hide a basket? We can take a small portion back first, and then after we've eaten, I'll have your second brother secretly take it and sell it."

Du Mingxian could go by herself, but since Zhou was a nice person, she nodded in agreement.

In the end, the two only took two rabbits and two pheasants back with them, hiding the rest.

Zhou's face was beaming with joy. When she met villagers on the road, she greeted them with a cheerful smile.

"Erlang's wife, you found money! You're so happy."

“My third aunt doesn’t have any money for us to pick up in the mountains. It’s just that my mother said she wanted to kill a chicken to nourish my fourth brother. I’m happy just thinking about having meat to eat.”

Aunt Ling's eyes kept drifting into the baskets on the two people's backs. Seeing that they were indeed full of grass, she looked disgusted. "Killing chickens is only for sick people to eat. What are you happy about? Do you think you can actually eat some?"

"Of course we can eat together. Third Aunt, aren't you going back yet? It's almost lunchtime. Also, you just said that my fourth brother is sickly. I'm going to tell my mother when I get back and have her confront you about it."

Aunt Ling's expression changed. "It was just something I said casually. Besides, Si Lang's health isn't good to begin with, so why can't I say it?"

Zhou smiled insincerely, "It doesn't matter if others say that, but you are our dear third aunt. If this gets out, I'm afraid our third uncle will be unhappy."

Aunt Ling simply shut up, "Zhou, I didn't realize your mouth was getting sharper and sharper."

"No one is telling the truth."

Aunt Ling couldn't argue with her, so she simply stopped talking. She looked at Du Mingxian, who hadn't said a word, and finally at Zhou Shi, saying, "Those who know you would say you're the sister-in-law, but those who don't would think you're someone's wife. The person in question hasn't said anything, so why are you in such a hurry?"

Just as Zhou was about to speak, Du Mingxian stepped forward and said without even seeing how she moved, "Third Aunt, why don't you hurry home? Your belt is undone."

The women all wore short jackets, and tied a strip of cloth around their waist with a belt. When the belt came undone, the loose jackets would fall open, and even the trousers would easily fall down.

Aunt Ling looked down and saw that her belt was indeed open. In a panic, she got up, screamed, and turned to run. After running a few steps, her pants fell down. She hurriedly grabbed them and walked home while crying.

There were hardly any people in the village at the moment, and only Du Mingxian and Zhou Shi were watching Aunt Ling's good show.

Zhou was looking down at the cloth on the ground that was clearly cut open by a knife, and silently swallowed. This fourth sister-in-law was too amazing.

Du Mingxian didn't notice the strange look in Zhou's eyes and didn't explain anything. "Second sister-in-law, let's go."

Zhou hurriedly followed.

Du Mingxian didn't take this farce to heart, but Zhou Shi kept it in mind, and at the same time, she gained a handle on Aunt Ling.

When the two returned home, their family members were naturally overjoyed to see the items.

"Mother, I ran into Third Aunt when I came back just now. I told her that we're having chicken today, and Third Aunt said something about Fourth Brother being sickly." Zhou Shi brought this up as soon as she entered the door, wanting to eat meat.

Ling's mother got angry as soon as she heard this. Her third sister-in-law was really no good. "Alright, we're having chicken today. We'll eat both of them."

The fourth son's wife is quite something; ever since she entered the family, we've had meat for several meals.

"Boss, take these two rabbits to town to sell this afternoon."

"Mother, should we send Erlang instead?" Zhou asked.

Wang glanced at Zhou and said, "Husband doesn't have anything to do this afternoon, so you can go to town."

Zhou didn't want to compete with Wang. She also needed her husband's help to sell other things. If her husband didn't go, how could they sell them?

“Sister-in-law, in the past, whenever there was something to do, Father and Mother would always ask the eldest brother to do it. Erlang is also a member of the family, and he should share the burden.”

The eldest son and the others didn't go to work today. Ling Erlang planned to rest at home in the afternoon. When he heard his wife ask him to go to town, he was puzzled but didn't say anything. He planned to ask her when he got back to the house later.

"If we're talking about sharing the burden, we should be doing it in the fields. Today, my husband and the others are all in the fields, but my second brother has been at home the whole time."

"It's because Erlang wasn't feeling well that he didn't go to the fields. Is Sister-in-law dissatisfied with Erlang?" Zhou Shi also got angry. Her sister-in-law was usually quite nice, but sometimes she was really stingy.

The two women were arguing fiercely when Liu suddenly spoke up, "Mother, I've saved up some embroidery. Why don't my husband and I go to town this afternoon and sell the rabbits while we're at it?"

Seeing her daughters-in-law's expressions, Ling's mother finally nodded in agreement with Liu's request, "Alright, let Sanlang go, and you all stop arguing."

Zhou was very angry. She turned around and looked at Du Mingxian with a depressed expression. Du Mingxian said that there were many ways to sell things. If you could go, go. If you couldn't go, go secretly.

Zhou: There's only one town, and only two places that sell wild game. It would be awkward if they all happened to be in the same place.

When Wang saw Zhou looking back at Du Mingxian, she became even angrier. Now her second and fourth sister-in-laws were as close as buddies, and they were teaming up to bully her.

Ling's mother wouldn't concern herself with her daughter-in-law's personal disputes, as long as she didn't cause any problems in matters of great importance.

We had pheasant for lunch, two of them, and everyone got several pieces of meat, which made everyone very happy.

Ling Silang's bowl always contained the best meat, but... he still didn't have much of an appetite. He ate a few bites and then couldn't eat anymore, only drinking some soup.

Seeing this, Ling's mother felt extremely distressed, but she didn't dare to ask Ling Silang to eat.

This son is obedient. If she asks, Si Lang will definitely eat, but he will feel unwell after eating, eventually vomiting and falling into a coma. This has happened before.

"Si Lang doesn't like it, so how about Mom makes you some noodles later?"

"No, it's delicious. I ate too much for breakfast, so I'm not very hungry."

Ling's mother wanted to say that you only drank one bowl of porridge this morning, so how come you ate too much? But the words stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

Du Mingxian noticed this too, and she felt that Ling Silang was probably not feeling well. "How about I go to town with you this afternoon to see a doctor?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou's eyes lit up instantly. "Yes, yes, fourth brother hasn't eaten much. We should go see a doctor and sell those two rabbits while we're at it."

Ling's mother felt sorry for her son, "Alright, fourth son's wife, you and fourth son go to town together in a little while and let the doctor take a good look at him."

Zhou deliberately added, "Third sister-in-law, you don't need to go to town with your third brother. Just let your fourth brother and the others take you along."

Liu frowned slightly, disliking her second sister-in-law.

Ling's mother said, "Third son's wife, if you want to sell your embroidery, have Fourth Brother and the others help you sell it."

"No need, I'll go another day." After saying that, Liu lowered her head to eat, feeling very uncomfortable.

Wang saw everything. After they finished eating and Ling Silang and the others left, Wang went to find Liu.

In the afternoons, when Liu had nothing to do, she would usually sit in the courtyard and do embroidery, where the light was good.

"Mother is so biased. She sold two rabbits, but in the end, she still had to let my fourth brother go."
