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

Soon someone came over to persuade Dong to go along. The woman who was on good terms with Dong said, "Hongguo is a lucky girl. It just so happens that your niece is here, and there are a lot of ghost money. She won't be short of money after she goes. You can rest assured."

Dong cried, and the coachman followed behind the people carrying the red fruit and started scattering it. Some villagers came out to see, but they were mostly elderly people and some women. None of the children were seen.

Du Mingxian had observed that some children were kept at a distance by adults and not allowed to come out.

The village cemetery wasn't far, and they arrived quickly. As soon as Dong saw the graves, her tears flowed even more. "I've only been buried with Da Liang for a few years. If you want to send my Hong Guo there again, my husband, you're so heartless. Do you want to take everyone with you to keep you company?"

The heart-wrenching cry silenced the crowd.

Everyone volunteered to help, and soon a small mound was formed. Dong squatted on the ground, crying her heart out, tears streaming down her face. The villagers, seeing this, didn't know how to comfort her. They silently finished their work and then left one by one.

Soon, only Du Mingxian and Dong Shi remained in front of the grave mound, along with Ling Silang and the coachman standing not far away.

“These are my son’s, and they were buried a few years ago. Now they want to bury my daughter too. Is God punishing me for being selfish and selling my daughters?”

Du Mingxian: "..."

Dong Shi talked on and on for a long time. When she was almost done, Du Mingxian finally persuaded her to go back. The most effective thing she said was...

Think of your grandson; he still needs you.

The grandson of the Dong family was named Chengbao. When everyone came to the cemetery, the child did not come out, nor did anyone call him. He just sat alone in the house.

After they returned, Chengbao was still sitting there in the same position. Du Mingxian realized that the child was very ill and needed to be taken care of, otherwise his illness would get worse.

Mrs. Dong glanced at her grandson, then forced herself to cook for him.

"What are your plans next? We can't stay in the village any longer. My husband has some business to attend to."

Mrs. Dong paused for a moment while cooking, then looked up at Du Mingxian with hope in her eyes, "Can you help me?"

“Okay.” Du Mingxian agreed without asking what kind of help it was.

As Madam Dong was asking her questions, tears streamed down her face. She wiped them away and said, "After I finish cooking for the children and tidy up, I want to go to the prefectural city."

"Okay, let's go to town today and find a car there tomorrow."

Madam Dong hesitated for a moment, "How about we walk there? I... I don't have much money at home."

"Then I'll lend it to you first, and you can pay me back when you have it."

She initially wanted to give it directly, but after considering it, she felt it was inappropriate and decided to treat it as a loan, so that it wouldn't matter even if the Dong family didn't repay it later.

After agreeing on the terms, Madam Dong made a bowl of porridge for the child and then hurried off to pack simple clothes and the little bit of food left in the house.

The carriage was soon piled with things.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, they set off from the Dong family's house. They encountered some villagers along the way, but since the Dong family was in the carriage and Ling Silang was outside, the villagers did not speak to them.

Before leaving, Madam Dong greeted another woman she was on good terms with, saying that she was going to stay at her niece's house for a while and asked her to look after the door for her.

Dong tried her best not to sleep in the car, and Du Mingxian noticed that her eyes were bloodshot. "You should get some sleep. You won't be able to get anything done if you're not in good spirits. You need to be well-rested so your mind can function properly."

"Okay." Madam Dong closed her eyes, while Dong Chengbao clung tightly to her breast. The little child, who should have been active, didn't move at all, just like a breathing wooden stake.

It was quite late when they arrived in town. The inn where Du Mingxian and the others had stayed had booked three rooms. Dong Shi and her child stayed in the middle room, Du Mingxian and Ling Silang shared a room, and the coachman shared a room.

Du Mingxian and Ling Silang are still living in the space. "Tomorrow I will put some things in the carriage for you to take on the road. I will not be watching, so please be careful."

"Do not worry."

"I'll give you some more money. I don't feel at ease if I'm not with you."

"Don't worry, it won't be a big deal. I'm a doctor now. I'll go get some medicine in a bit."

Knowing that Ling Silang had studied medicine, Du Mingxian specially built a pharmacy for him in her space. The medicine cabinet inside was fully stocked with all kinds of medicines, some of which were rare herbs that she had grown in her space.

During her time at the Wen residence, she was always free, so she planted more pharmacies and organized the pharmacy. Now they're coming in handy.

"Do you need help?"

"Go to sleep. I'll be busy for a while and then I'll sleep too. It won't be long."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian couldn't help; she couldn't distinguish the medicinal herbs, so she went straight to sleep, leaving Ling Silang to work on his own.

The next morning, Du Mingxian got up early and put the things she wanted to leave for Ling Silang directly in his room. She also gave Ling Silang a few more instructions before going downstairs to ask the waiter to make some breakfast.

After the meal, Ling Silang and the coachman left first, as they had important business to attend to and couldn't stay there waiting for Du Mingxian and the others.

Thinking that it would be too heavy to carry all the grain at home, Madam Dong borrowed the inn's kitchen to cook some dry cakes to take with her, which would be more convenient.

The Dong family didn't have much grain; they had a mix of wheat and black flour, with very little white flour and more black flour. She made a lot of pancakes and wrapped them in a large cloth.

Du Mingxian saw those dried biscuits and, before she even left, her teeth started to hurt.
