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

Ling Wang was resentful, but when he looked up and saw Ling Dalang and the others standing behind his father, the slight resentment that had just risen within him vanished instantly.

"Sun, hurry up and take Pandi back!" Ling Wang shouted, and Granny Sun trembled. She twisted Pandi's ear and led the people back.

The troublemaker left, and the onlookers also left, instantly making the area in front of the house quiet.

Ling's mother glanced at the family members and waved her hand, "Go ahead and do what you need to do. Mingxian, come with me and tell me what the doctor said and how Silang's condition is."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian followed Ling's mother into the main room, where Ling's mother asked anxiously, "Did that child really sell herself?"

"No, it's just good luck. Doctor Lin's senior brother is planning to recruit a few female disciples. They're currently helping out in Doctor Lin's backyard. Doctor Lin will make arrangements for them later."

When Ling's mother heard about this good place, she was very happy. "This child is so lucky. Doctor Lin's place is really a good place."

“That’s right.” Du Mingxian’s eyes lit up as she thought of the condition she had mentioned. “Mother, Doctor Lin also said that he takes on apprentices. Now that we have this news, should we select some children in the family who are interested and send them to Doctor Lin to study medicine?”

"Is there such a good thing?"

Du Mingxian quickly laughed it off, "Perhaps it's because we often go there for medical treatment, and also because we sell ginseng to him, that Dr. Lin is deliberately giving us an opportunity?"

“Great news, great news. I’ll talk to your dad about it later and see which child in the family has the talent.”

"Okay." Du Mingxian didn't linger. She came out of the house and went to the kitchen. She needed to brew medicine for Ling Silang and cook. She could try using the sauce she made last time to stir-fry some dishes. She wondered how it would turn out.

Recently, when she was preparing medicine and cooking for Ling Silang, she added spiritual spring water to his meals. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Ling Silang's complexion had become much rosier.

Today, it's my sister-in-law, Wang, who's cooking.

When Wang came in, Du Mingxian was already chopping vegetables and a lot of meat. They had a whole wild boar at home and had eaten quite a bit of it these past two days.

"Fourth sister-in-law cut so much meat for fourth brother, can he finish it all?" Looking at the huge pile of meat, Wang felt a pang of heartache; it was enough for the whole family to eat.

Du Mingxian explained, "Last time my second sister-in-law and I made some sauce, and I thought it should be about the same, so I wanted to use that sauce to stir-fry vegetables for lunch today, so I cut up more meat."

Upon hearing that it was a meal shared by everyone, Wang's face immediately lit up with a smile. "Oh dear, we all ate together. I'm so sorry, Fourth Sister-in-law, I misunderstood you."

"It's alright." Du Mingxian didn't mind these things. She had a feeling that the family would separate soon.

Only after Du Mingxian stopped being angry did Wang ask, "Is there anything else you need to do? I'll do it."

"Then, sister-in-law, please wash the vegetables."

Originally, it was Wang who was supposed to cook, but now Wang has become the assistant. Du Mingxian is the head chef, and Du Mingxian sets the quantities of vegetables, meat, and rice. When Wang saw so much rice, she was overjoyed.

Soon, the commotion in the kitchen caught Zhou's attention. She ran in and saw Du Mingxian preparing to cook. She was overjoyed. "Oh, Mingxian, you're cooking today? I'm definitely going to have a good lunch."

"Okay, sister-in-law, enjoy your meal."

When making stir-fries with sauce, considering that some children cannot eat spicy food, I used less sauce on two dishes and more sauce on two other dishes. The fragrant and spicy flavors went straight to the top of my head.

The kids in the family were so tempted that they kept pacing around in the yard.

A voice called out from the kitchen, "Dinner's ready!" and everyone rushed in as if they had been liberated. Some were serving rice, others were serving dishes, and everyone was much busier than usual.

With so many people, there were lots of dishes and rice. Ling's mother's lips twitched as she looked at the food. She kept thinking to herself, "I can't let Mingxian cook. Look at all this oil and rice. This is enough for several meals."

However, seeing that everyone in the family was eating with their mouths full of oil, they didn't say anything.

"The busy farming season is coming soon. Wang and Zhou, you two should go back to your parents' home. Each of you should take five catties of wild boar meat back with you so that your family can have some nourishment."

Wang was very excited, "Thank you, Mother."

Zhou was also very happy, "Thank you, Mother."

Only Liu remained silent, eating her meal in quiet contemplation.

Ling Sanlang reached out and gently shook Liu's hand. Liu looked up and gave him a reassuring smile, indicating that she was alright.

Du Mingxian didn't know the situation of her sisters-in-law's families, so she didn't ask.

Ling's mother asked, "Mingxian, are you going back to your parents' home? You'll get five pounds of meat back with you."

"Mother, I'm not going back." She had no intention of giving the wild boar meat to the Du family.

Ling Silang said, "My mother-in-law lives in the county now. Next time we go there, we'll bring some wild game for my grandmother and the others so they can have a taste."

"it is good."

After the meal, Wang was clearing away the dishes and was about to leave when Ling's mother stopped her, "Eldest daughter-in-law, wait a moment before you clear away the dishes. I want to say a few words."

Everyone looked at Ling's mother. Just as Da Bao was about to lead his younger siblings out, Ling's mother stopped him, "Da Bao, you all listen too, it concerns you."

"Today, Silang and Mingxian brought back some news from the county: Doctor Lin is going to take on apprentices. Maybe one of our children will have the opportunity to study medicine."

Hearing this made the third wife's heart race with excitement.

Studying medicine, as long as you can master it, is a skill, and it can be considered a change of profession.

"They said they were sending a few children to school, but so far they've only paid the tuition fees. The school hasn't started classes yet, but we can see which child can study medicine."

The children looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I'm telling you this news today. This afternoon, you parents should ask your children what they think. Remember, don't force them; it should be entirely up to their own wishes."

"Yes."

"Alright, you guys discuss it first, and we'll talk about it again later."

This is a big deal; it can't be decided in a short time.

After everyone dispersed, Zhou approached Du Mingxian and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, the sauce you made was so delicious! I'll bring some beans back from my parents' house tomorrow, and we'll make some more. I'll also send some to my mother later."

"Great!" Du Mingxian asked, seeing Zhou's bright eyes, "Second Sister-in-law, do you think this will sell well?"

“It sells well. If it were me…” Zhou wanted to say that she would definitely sell it, but considering the production and cost, she asked, “How much do you plan to sell it for? Can the average person afford it?”

"Buying a jar to try should be no problem for an average family."

Mrs. Zhou was delighted, "Then I will definitely buy it." But then she hesitated, "Fourth brother is a scholar, and you, fourth sister-in-law, cannot do business, nor can our family."

"What if the family splits up?"

Ling Silang took the imperial examination route. After the family split up, the others could go into business, and there were some loopholes they could exploit.

Zhou's eyes widened, and she quickly pulled Du Mingxian aside, saying nervously, "Fourth sister-in-law, you can't say that again. We don't separate the family while our parents are alive."
