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

"It's alright, the Ling family will take care of you from now on."

The Ling family loves her.

Du Mingxian felt that Ling Silang was flirting with her, but she had no evidence. However, her heart was beating faster than usual. "Um... I... I'll go back to my room to change my clothes first."

"Go."

After changing her clothes, Du Mingxian went to the kitchen to make some food for Ling Silang, as he didn't eat much while she was away.

When Ling's mother saw Du Mingxian bringing food to Ling Silang, she was overjoyed. She said to Ling's father, who was soaking his feet, "I like this fourth son's wife more and more the more I look at her."

Ling's father smiled when he thought of Du Mingxian hitting people at the door and the villagers' comments about her these past two days. "All of my daughters-in-law are good, each with their own strengths, but the fourth daughter-in-law is more to your liking."

"Si Lang is weak, so it's good that she's a bit fierce. We can't let her be bullied."

Father Ling nodded slightly, “That’s right. But this Fourth Brother’s wife is a lucky one. Since she entered the family, it seems that our lives have been getting better and better.”

Ling's mother paused in folding clothes. "Do you think it's possible that the Du family made a mistake, and that the real blessed girl is Mingxian?"

"This...it's hard to say."

"Why is it hard to say? Look, Du Mingwei and Mingxian were born at the same time. Mingxian was premature, and the two children grew up together. How can the Du family be so sure that Du Mingwei is destined to be a lucky girl? Isn't it just because they are biased?"

Ling's father did not respond.

Ling's mother continued to speculate, "Mingxian has had a hard life all these years, and Du Mingwei has always benefited from it. So, before she married our Fourth Son, even God couldn't stand it and made Du Mingwei have a brain fart and insist on a marriage swap. This is to help us."

Before the engagement, the Ling family had naturally inquired about the Du family.

Ling's father said, "I heard that Du Mingwei used to bring a lot of things home, so Fu Nu should be right."

"There's nothing wrong with it, there must be something wrong. Even if Du Mingwei took the ginseng back before, what about now? Our Mingxian has also taken the ginseng back."

"I think it was the Du family that suppressed Mingxian's good fortune, preventing her from showing her true potential. Now that she's left the Du family, Mingxian's good fortune is slowly returning."

Mr. Ling didn't know what to say, but seeing Mrs. Ling's smug look, he didn't say anything and just listened to his wife's endless chatter.

“Oh dear, the blessing of this lucky girl will surely bring good fortune to my son. He will definitely live to be a hundred years old.”

The next day, after Du Mingxian and her companion had eaten, they took a horse-drawn carriage to the county.

When Xu Dazhuang opened the door, he saw two people with respectful expressions.

Du Mingxian happily called out, "Uncle."

Ling Silang also willingly called out, "Uncle."

Xu Dazhuang felt a little uncomfortable, but given his current status, he didn't say anything, only being a bit more enthusiastic, "Come in quickly, I'll bring the carriage in through the back door."

"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle." Ling Silang said politely.

As Xu Dazhuang led the carriage, he called out to the courtyard, "Tingting, your cousin and cousin-in-law are here."

Hearing the commotion, Xu Tingting hurriedly came out and warmly invited the two inside. As if complaining, she recounted what had happened the day before.

“Cousin, you have to have a good talk with your aunt. She just arrived yesterday and when she went to see the doctor, the doctor said she needed to rest. But this morning, she went to the kitchen to cook.”

"He still insists on staying by his grandmother's side right now, and won't listen to anyone who tells him to. He says he wants to be filial to his grandmother by her bedside."

Xu Tingting was a little worried, afraid that Du Mingxian would be angry.

Du Mingxian wasn't angry; she understood Zhou Shi. "I'll go in and take a look."

The two went in together to the east room of the main house, which was the master's room. Now, the old lady lived there. After they went in, Zhou heard the noise and looked over. She was very happy to see her daughter and son-in-law.

“Mingxian, Si, Silang.”

"Mother!" they both called out in unison.

Zhou felt somewhat unreal from yesterday until now. She had never imagined that she would have other relatives in this life. Now that she saw her daughter, the feeling of unreality seemed to disappear instantly.

"Mother, you're not fully recovered yourself, what if you get sick here?"

“How could I be sick? I usually work at the Du family’s house and I never get sick from overwork. There’s no work here, and I just sit after eating. How could I be sick?”

Xu Tingting chuckled, "Auntie, you just can't sit still. I'm taking care of Grandma."

Madam Zhou waved her hand, "You are my granddaughter and I am my daughter. Each generation takes care of the next. I haven't been able to show filial piety to my mother all these years. Now that I have this opportunity, I naturally want to take good care of her."

Seeing a smile on her mother's face, Du Mingxian felt a little happier. She turned to look at the old lady on the bed and asked, "Mother, how is Grandma?"

"I was still half asleep. When I woke up and saw me, I didn't recognize her at all. She even asked me who I was?"

Xu Tingting gave an awkward smile, "Grandma has a sudden illness. The doctor said she might have selective amnesia."

Ling Silang then chimed in, "I've heard that sometimes, people you can't see become an obsession, and in the end, to deceive yourself, you choose to forget them. I read that in a miscellaneous history book."

These words immediately brought tears to Zhou's eyes. She felt extremely distressed, "Mother must have suffered a lot all these years searching for me."

Du Mingxian didn't reply, but looking at the old lady's appearance, she quietly fed her some spiritual spring water. She couldn't let the old lady leave like this.

With an old man around, her mother might still have something to do.

If the old lady really passes away, and the family loses its mother, leaving only the brother and niece, the mother probably wouldn't want to live here.

While the group was talking, Ling Silang went out. The house was full of women, and it wasn't convenient for him to stay inside.

When Zhou saw Ling Silang leave, she originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but considering that her niece was there, she didn't.

Du Mingxian noticed this and took the initiative to explain, "When I went back yesterday, I told my family about my mother's situation. My mother-in-law felt very sorry for you and said she wanted to come and visit today. However, considering that this is our first time visiting my maternal grandmother's place, we didn't bring her."

"Mother, don't worry. My mother-in-law is a very nice person. If she wants to come again next time, I'll bring her over so you can have a chat."

Mrs. Zhou's eyes widened. Her daughter hadn't said that last time. Her daughter had said she wasn't having a good time at the Ling family's house.

Xu Tingting noticed something: "You can tell from the look that my brother-in-law treats my sister very well."

The women were talking, mostly about matters concerning the Xu family.

It was all written by Xu Tingting, but Zhou liked to listen to it, so Du Mingxian listened to it too.

Soon it was lunchtime, and Zhou got up to cook. "Tingting, Mingxian, you two sit down, I'll go cook."

Xu Tingting dared not, "Auntie, I'll go."

"That won't do, I'll go."

Du Mingxian suggested, "Why don't you all go together? I'll stay here and keep Grandma company. I'll talk to her and see if she wakes up."
