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

Wu Daniu was not happy about taking an injured person home. He first stripped the person of their money and clothes, and then took the things home.

After she saw it, she asked Wu Daniu and learned that there was someone on the mountain. Upon seeing the cloth, she immediately suggested to Wu Daniu that they rescue the person.

Wu Daniu was reluctant, but he and she analyzed that the other person's clothes were made of fine material, indicating that he must be from a wealthy family. As long as they saved the person, the other person would definitely thank them and they could get a lot of money.

That was her thought at the time: to get some money so she could live a better life.

Finally, Wu Daniu went up the mountain to carry the body back. He only took care of her for a day before getting impatient, and in the end, she was the one who took care of her.

After the man woke up, Wu Daniu went up to him and tried to curry favor, and in the end, the man gave him a lot of money.

The Wu family bought land and cattle, and their lives improved somewhat.

Thinking of this, she had already arrived at the Xu family's door. She pushed the door open and went inside, where she saw Ling Silang pacing back and forth in the front yard with a book in his hand. When he saw her return, he hurriedly came forward to help.

"It's okay, I'm not tired."

The person in front of me is much better than Wu Daniu.

After buying the beans, the Ling family returned home together. Ling Silang was in poor health, so Ling's mother and Du Mingxian rode in a horse-drawn carriage driven by Ling Dalang, while Ling Erlang drove an oxcart with Ling's father on the way back.

When Du Mingxian arrived home, she discovered that a house was under construction. Because they wanted to move in as soon as possible, they had hired many people from the village and even from the neighboring village.

With more people, the work can be done faster. In just the few days she was away in the county, the wall had already risen to half a person's height, using blue bricks.

The Ling family mansion had been demolished, and now a few thatched sheds have been temporarily erected next to it, one room for each.

Ling's mother took Du Mingxian's hand and said, "Because it's a thatched hut, we didn't build too many. You and Silang will stay in one room for now."

"what?"

Ling's mother ignored her surprise and went to attend to other things; there were many things to do while building the house.

Ling Silang heard it clearly, his ears turning slightly red. Seeing that Du Mingxian was still standing there in a daze, he leaned forward and whispered, "I...I'll put two beds in the shed later."

"Huh? Oh." It wasn't that she was being coy; she was genuinely surprised.

She didn't dwell on the matter of sharing a shed for long; she quickly went to soak the beans, as that was the important thing.

Wang, Zhou, and Liu didn't do the heavy work, but they helped with some trivial things, including the kitchen. They weren't responsible for cooking for so many people, but they were responsible for providing hot water.

Zhou came in to fetch hot water, and when she saw Du Mingxian soaking beans, her eyes immediately lit up. "Fourth sister-in-law, are you and your fourth brother alright?"

"It's alright." Du Mingxian finished speaking and continued soaking the beans. She still needed to discuss the fermented soybean paste business with Ling's mother.

Her original intention was to bring her second sister-in-law, Zhou, along, but she had two other sisters-in-law at home, and she was afraid that others would be dissatisfied, which would cause trouble.

After soaking the beans, Du Mingxian helped with some chores, and soon it got dark.

Normally, the family only eats two meals a day, but today everyone is busy. After asking Ling's mother, she cooked a pot of porridge.

The table is placed in the kitchen, which makes eating convenient.

Eating by lamplight was a rare occurrence in the Ling family.

After dinner, everyone went to rest. Du Mingxian packed her things and returned to the shed, only to realize that she was going to live with Ling Silang and couldn't even take a bath in the space.

Ling Silang was reading with a candle lit when he saw Du Mingxian return. He put the book down and said, "If you want to sleep, I'll put out the candle."

"I'm going to the outhouse." Du Mingxian said and left the shed, heading straight for the outhouse. Once she reached a secluded spot, she entered her spatial dimension and quickly took a combat shower, without washing her hair.

When she lived alone, because her hair was long, she could go to sleep after it was half-dry, and she didn't have to leave her space all night. Now that she lived with Ling Silang, if she didn't go back for too long, Ling Silang would probably go to the toilet to look for her.

When she left the space and returned to the thatched hut, Ling Silang was already pacing around in the field, holding a book in his hand, but not reading it.

"What's wrong?" she asked, feigning ignorance.

"It's nothing, I was just a little worried because you've been gone for so long."

"It's okay, you can read if you want, it won't bother me." After saying that, Du Mingxian went straight to bed and lay down. She was a little tired after running around all day.

Although they lived in the same shed, Ling's mother still put two beds in the shed.

Du Mingxian originally thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but unexpectedly she fell asleep shortly after lying down and slept very well without any dreams.

Du Mingxian wasn't there the past two days and didn't help, but since she's here today, she naturally has to help out with the family.

She'd be looking for something, grabbing something, or helping out in the kitchen.

While helping out, Du Mingxian took the time to make the sauce, put it into jars, sealed them, and set them aside.

There were still four jars of sauce left at home. When Ling Erlang went to the county to buy things, Du Mingxian asked him to deliver the sauce to Zuixiangju while she helped out at home.

Three days later, while Du Mingxian was still busy at home, Wang Fu arrived, beaming with joy.

Du Mingxian was taken aback when she saw Wang Fulai. "Why are you here?"

"Miss, Zuixiangju needs some goods. Send the message home and I'll come right away."

Did they say how much they wanted?

"Ten jars."

Du Mingxian frowned. She had only made six jars of beans in the past two days, and there weren't enough beans. Moreover, everyone in the family was busy building the house and didn't have time to harvest beans for her.

"Here are six jars. Take them with you and deliver them over there."

"it is good."

"Wang Fu, come and help me tomorrow."

"it is good."

Wang Fulai took the sauce directly, which displeased Wang Shi. She asked Du Mingxian directly, "Who is Fourth Sister-in-law? Why did she take our things without permission?"

“My mom’s errand boy came over to get the sauce.”

"This is our family's sauce."

"The beans were brought back with me, as were the chili peppers."

The jar was custom-made when she was making sauce before; she didn't actually use anything from home.

Wang was speechless after being rebuked, and still angry, she wanted to say something more, but then Ling's mother came in and said, "Go and get busy. I know about the sauce."

Wang had no choice but to leave.

Du Mingxian looked at Ling's mother and hurriedly explained, "Mother, I originally wanted to tell you about this, but I haven't found an opportunity these past two days."

Mother Ling waved her hand, "I know, your sister-in-law is just like that, always focusing on a small area in front of her. She's not a bad person, don't take it to heart. She just wants to use the money to help her younger brother get married."

Du Mingxian didn't hold a grudge against Wang Shi. Anyway, they were going to separate the family soon. If Wang Shi was good, she would help Wang Shi make money. If Wang Shi was not good, she would just have less contact with her.

“Mother, a jar of good sauce costs five taels of silver, but as you know, my husband is a scholar, so I can’t do this business.”

"Five...five taels?"

"Yes."

Ling's mother was heartbroken. The family had been using this sauce in their cooking lately, which must have cost a fortune. "Don't use it in your cooking anymore," she said.
