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

Cheng Xian had always known that Ling Silang had a sharp tongue and almost never got the better of him. He was furious at this moment, but when he saw the woman who was being shielded by Ling Silang, a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

“I am devoted to studying the classics and have no official rank yet, so how could I dare to put my mind on romantic love?”

“Then Brother Cheng should work even harder. He hasn’t passed the imperial examination for so many years, so he shouldn’t be getting married.”

This was the first time Du Mingxian had ever witnessed Ling Silang's sharp tongue. It was truly venomous. Cheng Xian was so angry that she turned and left. Even after the oxcart had left the town, she was still thinking about the funny scene from earlier.

"You are so awesome."

Ling Silang's ears turned red. "I'm not as good as my wife. I can earn more than two taels of silver in just one trip into the mountains."

Du Mingxian chuckled, "Everyone has different strengths."

"I am a weak scholar, and all I can do is talk."

Du Mingxian looked at his smile and suddenly felt it dazzled her. She didn't want that smile to disappear; she wanted it to last forever. "How about I make you something to eat when we get home?"

"Okay, I like everything my wife makes."

This person has a really sweet tongue.

When she got home, Du Mingxian gave the money from selling the rabbits to Ling's mother, but Ling's mother refused to accept it, saying, "You went to see the doctor today, so you can keep this money."

"Mother, I have some money on me."

"Just accept it as I tell you to."

Du Mingxian didn't refuse, and finally accepted the money, saying, "I'll go make some food for my husband."

Ling's mother handed her the key to the kitchen cabinet, saying, "You can use whatever you want, as long as Silang can eat the food you make. Don't worry about being stingy."

When cooking for everyone else, Ling's mother was really reluctant to let Du Mingxian put in too much seasoning, but when cooking for Ling Silang, Ling's mother was afraid that she wouldn't put in enough.

Du Mingxian first started decocting the medicine, and then went to the kitchen to prepare a steamed cake, a brown sugar steamed cake.

She had yeast in her space, so it was easy to make it.

Just as the dough was ready and waiting to rise, Zhou rushed back into the kitchen, her eyes shining as she looked at Du Mingxian, "Is it ready to sell?"

"Ah."

This was overheard by Wang, who was just about to go into the kitchen for a drink of water. Wang asked, "What did Fourth Sister-in-law sell?"

Zhou interrupted, "Of course we're selling the rabbits we caught today, what else could we be selling?"

Seeing that the two men weren't telling the truth and didn't ask any further questions, Wang felt particularly uncomfortable. After finishing her water, she left, but her mind started wandering. She thought that the two men must have gotten something good, which was why they secretly took it out to sell.

Zhou didn't dare raise her voice, and quietly walked up to Du Mingxian, who was brewing medicine, and asked, "How much did you sell?"

"A little over two ounces, Second Sister-in-law, come to my room to get it in a bit."

"How much?" Zhou couldn't help but raise her voice, then hurriedly covered her mouth after speaking, "My goodness, my God, there's so much."

What a stroke of luck! Could this fourth sister-in-law be a lucky star? Ever since she entered the family, not only have we had delicious food every day, but she's also making money.

Zhou was in a daze, and Du Mingxian didn't notice. When she was brewing the medicine for the second time, the steamed cakes were almost ready to be steamed, so she got up to go and do her work.

Zhou sat down to brew the medicine, and seeing Du Mingxian busy, she couldn't help but swallow, "Fourth sister-in-law, what is this?"

"Steamed rice cake, my husband doesn't have much of an appetite, I thought I'd make some for him."

"oh oh."

Today, when making steamed rice cakes, Du Mingxian added a few drops of spiritual spring water. Even before the cakes were taken out of the pot, the aroma filled the entire yard, making the children in the family very hungry.

One or two stood at the kitchen doorway, greedily sniffing the air, but no one dared to come in and ask for food.

They all knew that Fourth Uncle was in poor health, so such good food could only be eaten by Fourth Uncle.

Zhou was swallowing her saliva frantically and sniffing the aroma like crazy, feeling that even if she couldn't eat it later, just smelling the aroma was a bonus.

When the time was up, the steamed cake was ready. The sweet aroma was even stronger. Du Mingxian took the steamed cake out of the pot and gently patted it with her hand. It was very soft. She tore off a small piece and tasted it. The taste was good.

Slightly sweet, not greasy.

Zhou didn't dare look at the workbench, afraid she would rush in and snatch it. In the end, to prevent herself from doing something crazy, she leaned forward and took a few more breaths of the strong medicinal smell from the pot.

This smell is so overpowering, it makes me want to vomit.

"This medicine smells bitter, I don't know how my fourth brother could drink it."

Ever since she entered the house, this fourth brother has been taking medicine every few days; he's truly a walking medicine pot.

Once the steamed cake had cooled down a bit, Du Mingxian cut it into small pieces and placed one plate for Ling Silang, while the remaining plate contained slightly smaller pieces.

"Da Bao, you guys come in."

The children couldn't hold back their tears any longer, and often they even hated themselves for not being sickly. If they were sickly, they would surely be able to eat well every day, just like their fourth uncle.

Now that Du Mingxian is calling them in, everyone rushes in like a swarm of bees.

Du Mingxian took a piece and handed it to Da Bao, who came in, saying, "Here you go."

Da Bao didn't take it. "This is for Fourth Uncle. He hasn't eaten anything, so I can't eat it."

Du Mingxian looked at the youngest, Liu Bao, who was drooling with desire, but shook her head vigorously, saying, "I can't eat it."

Looking at these children, each one thin and frail, their clothes patched upon patched, she felt a pang of sympathy. But she still said softly, "That plate is enough for your fourth uncle. Let's share these. Eat up."

People still didn't dare to take it.

The kitchen was crowded when Wang walked in and slapped Da Bao on the head, saying, "Who told you to bring your younger siblings in? Get out! The kitchen is so small. How can you cook or wash dishes if you all squeeze in?"

Da Bao shrank his neck and immediately turned around and went out. The other children followed him out immediately after seeing this.

Du Mingxian hurriedly said to Wang Shi, "Sister-in-law, I called Da Bao and the others in."

Wang glanced at the food on the counter and said, "No need, Fourth Brother should eat what Fourth Sister-in-law made."

Before she could even send anything, Du Mingxian turned around to talk to Zhou Shi and found that the medicine pot had been placed on the ground and the medicine had been poured out and placed aside by her second sister-in-law.

The medicine bowl was still steaming.

She chuckled and took the plate of pastries to the main room, placing it on the table there.

Ling's mother was in her room when she saw Du Mingxian carrying things out to the main room, so she followed her into the main room. "Fourth son's wife, these aren't for Fourth Brother, why are they here?"

"Mother, I set aside some for my husband. Let the rest of the family eat."

Ling's mother was about to say no, but Du Mingxian quickly spoke up, "Mother, these pieces of meat are ready, let everyone have a taste. I've divided them out, one piece for each adult, and two pieces for each child."
