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

"Then let's go back. I miss my child too."

Here you can meet some children from poor families, but their conditions are still worse. They have better conditions now, and if they continue to live like this, it's just that they have to endure hardship.

She didn't want to say anything about Ling Silang's affairs, but if the Crown Prince asked her to do something, she wouldn't go to great lengths regarding the Crown Prince's private matters.

People are selfish, but if it concerns the public, she's willing to do her part.

It's that simple.

Ling Silang nodded, "Alright, I'll go back in a couple of days. I think something might have happened to that garment workshop, and it might not be open for a while."

"Then my previous thought that they would use our families as leverage when you students go in to take the exam is no longer valid."

Ling Silang knew that Du Mingxian was worried that the other students' families would be scammed and get into trouble. "Since none of you are going, there must be a problem on their end. Once things are sorted out, we will still contact you. We have already spent money to train you, so we can't just abandon you like that."

"hope so."

Once she was ready to go back, Du Mingxian thought about finding a job for Liu Ya. After all, they had known each other, and she wanted to help her out if she could.

The next day, Du Mingxian asked Chunfeng to find a suitable job.

Chunfeng and the others are quite quick at doing this kind of thing. Because the job they found last time wasn't good, they found several this time and let Du Mingxian choose for herself.

Du Mingxian went to find Liu Ya.

Jiang Liting was reading in her room while Liu Ya and Du Mingxian were talking outside. The weather was bad, gloomy, and it looked like it was going to snow heavily. Du Mingxian didn't want to suffer outside, so she pulled Liu Ya into their room.

Liu Ya was still uneasy after she came in. "If you don't wear more clothes, we can talk outside. I'm afraid... Lin Guixiang will come over again."

It was quite awkward last time. If Ling Silang hadn't come back early, Lin Guixiang might have wanted to say something.

"It's okay, let's talk about ours." Du Mingxian didn't want to wrong herself for others. She said there was a job that was suitable for Liu Ya and asked if Liu Ya wanted to go.

Liu Ya was quite surprised, "What kind of work is it?"

"Washing teacups and such in teahouses, but they have requirements; it needs to be meticulous."

"Can I?"

"Does Sister Liu feel that she is meticulous in her work?"

"That's no problem."

"Then this job is definitely possible."

Liu Ya was a little embarrassed, "Why didn't you keep such a good job for yourself?"

"I'm not used to it. Although hot water is used to wash teacups and the teahouse has plenty of hot water, I don't want my hands to be soaked in water for a long time."

Liu Ya readily agreed, "Then I'll do it."

"Okay, I'll take you there this afternoon. I'm going to visit relatives in a couple of days and won't be back until after the New Year."

“Alright, you can move in there. That way you can keep an eye on your husband’s studies. I see he’s always out, which is probably causing him a lot of trouble.”

"Yes, thank you, Sister Liu Ya."

"I should be the one thanking you."

After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Ya left Du Mingxian's house at a set time. Lin Guixiang saw this clearly and wanted to go over, but she didn't dare to move, afraid that the other woman would look down on her.

She still wants to maintain a good relationship with him. Putting everything else aside, Du Mingxian's man is really handsome.

In the afternoon, Du Mingxian took Liu Ya to see the job. It was quite good, with a monthly wage of one tael of silver. They could come back at noon to cook for them. This was a special favor given to them because they heard that there was a student taking the exam in the family.

Liu Ya was particularly pleased that she could cook at home. After thanking Du Mingxian, she quickly went home with her.

Upon returning, he encountered Lin Guixiang.

"You two went out without me. We live in the same courtyard, yet you're acting like strangers." Lin Guixiang's eyes were filled with resentment.

Liu Ya was quite embarrassed, but since Du Mingxian had introduced her to work today, she couldn't very well shift the blame onto Du Mingxian. "It's my fault. I just wanted to go out and take a look, thinking you were busy."

"Has Sister Liu Ya found work?"

"Hmm." Liu Ya simply said "hmm," without explaining what kind of work she had found.

Lin Guixiang was overjoyed. "Really? Sister Liu, do you still need people for the jobs you found? I want to go too."

"I'll go by myself."

Lin Guixiang was quite disappointed, but when she looked at Du Mingxian, she felt a mixture of sympathy and schadenfreude, saying, "You're quite pitiful too."

"I need to pack up and go stay at a relative's house for the next couple of days. I won't be back until after the Lunar New Year, so I don't plan to do any work."

Lin Guixiang was quite envious; she even had relatives in Beijing.

"That's good."

After a brief exchange, Du Mingxian went straight back to her room. Liu Ya felt a little embarrassed, so Lin Guixiang kept bothering her, asking what kind of work it was and whether it was good or not.

Liu Ya is easily embarrassed, so she basically told everyone.

Lin Guixiang also asked Liu Ya to see if the other party was still looking for someone, as she could do it too.

Liu Ya said she would go and ask, and then made an excuse to go back to her room.

Du Mingxian heard this, but she didn't care.

I said I'd be going back in the next couple of days, so I packed a few things quickly.

Three days later, it snowed heavily that day. Du Mingxian and Ling Silang made an excuse to go stay at a relative's house until after the New Year. When they left, Du Mingxian told Liu Ya.

She also told Liu Ya to go to the restaurant to find her if she needed anything, and mentioned Xu Tingting's name, saying that they were relatives.

Also, ask Liu Ya to keep an eye on things so that if anyone notifies Lin Guixiang to go to work, please let her know.

Du Mingxian and Ling Silang officially moved back home, and the family was overjoyed, celebrating a small celebration that evening.

Little An'an is currently sleeping with Ling's mother and father. Fortunately, he is a well-behaved child and doesn't cry much at night, which makes him quite easy to take care of.

Now that Du Mingxian and Ling Silang have returned, An'an naturally goes back to sleep next to her parents.

Du Mingxian also wanted to get closer to the children.

During the ten-odd days that Du Mingxian returned from outside, she didn't go anywhere. She stayed at home every day taking care of the children and accompanying Da Zhou Shi.

Da Zhou's health has improved a lot, but in winter, illness and worries bring all sorts of problems. She looks like she's recovered, but she still has some minor ailments and has to take medicine all the time.

Ling's mother has recovered a lot. Du Mingxian feels that she has returned to her former self. However, Ling's mother has a problem now. She sometimes sits in a daze and doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone.

I was afraid of startling her.

Time flies, and before Du Mingxian knew it, it was already the 20th of the twelfth lunar month.

This is the first New Year since the Ling family came to the capital. Everyone in the family wants to make it as lively as possible, part of the Ling family is now in the capital and part is in their hometown.

When it comes to buying food for the family, the restaurant handles it all at once. Du Mingxian occasionally goes out and brings out some items from her spatial storage, just to make sure it's properly sorted out.

On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Da Zhou came to find Du Mingxian in the morning.

"Mother, what's wrong?" She could tell that her mother had been preoccupied these past two days, but her mother hadn't said anything, and she hadn't asked.

After Da Zhou came in, she hesitated for a moment but still said seriously, "Since I know that I am also a member of the Lin family, I think... I think I want to go and pay my respects before the New Year."
