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

“You yourself came from the village, and you know that the villagers are kind. I believe that they have to make a lot of trips to the mountains. They may have a hard time, but they won’t starve to death.”

How could anyone starve to death if they were just hardworking?

Since Wu Sanniu and his group starved to death, it proves they were lazy. They didn't die of starvation, they died of laziness.

Wu Daniu knew this too. He fell silent and looked at the woman in front of him with a complicated expression. This woman had been pampered in the village before, and he was really happy the day he married her.

She was a well-known lucky woman in the surrounding area, and many men wanted to marry her, but she had high standards and her family had high requirements, so she didn't like any of them.

At that time, he dared not even look at himself, but in the end, he actually won the heart of the beauty.

He felt that his life was very fulfilling, that God had been kind to him, and that he was doing well in his later years. She suggested that he join the army, and he did.

He was also hoping to make a name for himself so that his family could have a better life in the future.

Unexpectedly, not long after he left, his younger brother wrote to him, saying that the woman had cheated on him.

A woman who can't stand being alone.

Seeing her sitting so calmly in front of him now, he felt quite conflicted. "Bring Erniu to see me tomorrow."

“We are husband and wife, and I am your legal wife. You married another woman without my knowledge, and you didn’t tell me. Now you don’t even want to give me an explanation?”

"What do you want?"

Sensing that Wu Daniu's tone was off, Du Mingwei, who had initially asked for money, dared not ask for it now, afraid of angering him. "Fine, I'll go back and bring Erniu over, but... Erniu has become addicted to gambling and now owes a lot of money."

Wu Daniu slammed his fist on the table. "I entrusted my younger brother and sister to you, and this is how you raise them? Look at yourself! You led Erniu astray, and now you've let him get this stuff. How can you face the people I entrusted to you?"

Du Mingwei was speechless. "I would like to intervene, but Erniu is married now. He has his own wife. Do you think it would be appropriate for me to interfere?"

Wu Daniu was surprised to hear the news, but he was also happy. As the older brother, he hoped that his younger siblings were all doing well. "That's good. Since that's the case... let's talk about it when Erniu comes tomorrow."

Seeing that Wu Daniu was eager to see Wu Erniu, Du Mingwei decided not to say anything. She would go back and talk to Erniu properly before discussing anything else.

Wen Shiyan had really had enough of living in that house; it was best that she could come out now.

"Okay, could you give me some silver first?"

She had just asked Wu Daniu for an explanation in order to get money. Since he wouldn't take that approach, she would just ask him directly.

Wu Daniu's expression was complicated, but he didn't say anything. He simply took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and placed it on the table. "Take it. Let Erniu come over."

After saying that, he got up and was about to leave. Du Mingwei's face was very unpleasant. She had already asked for it directly, and she didn't think about refusing it now. "We are in the capital now. You should know what the prices are like in the capital. If we were back in our hometown, ten taels could do a lot of things, but not now."

Wu Daniu turned around and looked at her mockingly, then took out ten taels and placed them on the table. "For the sake of our marriage, take this money. You should know in your heart what you should and shouldn't do."

I just don't want her to cause trouble.

Du Mingwei knew that she wouldn't cause trouble.

After Du Mingwei returned, she confessed the matter to Wu Erniu. Wu Erniu was very happy to hear that Wu Daniu was doing so well now. That night, the two of them found an excuse to quarrel with Wen Shiyan and then moved out of the house.

After arriving at the house arranged by Wu Daniu, the two immediately slept together. After they finished, Wu Erniu said, "We're already together. You know your own situation. Now that my brother is with another woman, don't make a fuss. My brother won't treat us badly."

Du Mingwei naturally understood this principle. "I won't make a scene, but he can't treat me unfairly. After all, I didn't marry into the Ling family back then, but went straight to marry into the Wu family."

Wu Erniu still doesn't understand why Du Mingwei insisted on marrying his brother, given that the Ling family's situation was so much better than theirs.

If he can't figure it out, he won't think about it. Wu Erniu is very frank. "Tomorrow I will tell my brother that we will live in this house from now on. He will continue to be busy with his own things and will give us money occasionally."

"Okay, whatever you say. I won't cause trouble for him." Du Mingwei knew in her heart that she depended on these two for survival, and it wasn't the time to make a scene.

Wu Erniu lowered his head and kissed her on the lips before saying, "When Sanniu and the others come over in the future, we should keep our distance."

"it is good."

Du Mingwei had no objections. Anyway, Wu Erniu's skills were just so-so. It would be better for her to go out and hook up with someone well-endowed and skilled when she was lonely, so she could feel more comfortable.

What are your plans regarding Wen Shiyan?

"That's fine. We valued her because she was from the Wen family and thought she would bring a lot of dowry. But who knew that Wen Shiyan's mother was a slut who cheated on Lord Wen. Now Wen Shiyan hasn't gotten anything, so what can I get?"

"Let's move out first, and we'll leave Wen Shiyan's place for now..."

Du Mingwei felt it was fine, since she didn't like it anyway. "Whatever you say, but tomorrow ask your brother to give me more money. I want to buy some pretty clothes and jewelry. I haven't worn anything nice in the capital yet."

"All the clothes Wen Shiyan gave me were ones she had worn and didn't want anymore. There are differences between our bodies, and I don't feel comfortable wearing them."

“Okay,” Wu Erniu readily agreed.

The next day, Wu Erniu brought up the matter of money with Wu Daniu. Wu Daniu ordered Wu Erniu not to gamble, but to play games, not to bet.

Wu Erniu didn't pay off his gambling debts immediately. Those people went to Wen Shiyan's place to collect the debt, but she had disappeared. They stopped going after a few visits, and only then did Wu Erniu pay back the money.

Wu Erniu and the others were then entirely supported by Wu Daniu, and their lives became extremely extravagant. At first, things were fine, but eventually, they were discovered by the second young lady of the Changping Earl's Mansion.

It has to be said that Wu Daniu is a remarkable person. Despite being a freeloader, he managed to bring Du Mingwei into his own house in the end.

However, Du Mingwei has now gone from being an aunt to a concubine.

Du Mingxian sighed upon hearing this; Du Mingwei's willingness to become a concubine showed how much she longed for a better life.

Where are they living now?

"In the residence of Sun Xiangxiang, the second young lady of the Earl of Changping."

Du Mingxian frowned, "Tell me more about Sun Xiangxiang from the Earl's Mansion."

Sun Xiangxiang has a good business sense, so she owns quite a few businesses, but very few are publicly known. She can be considered a hidden tycoon, but she has a powerful backer.
