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

The next morning, Du Mingxian got ready early and went out. When she arrived near the house, she was about to knock on the door when she saw a familiar figure walk out. Startled, she had nowhere to hide and quickly entered her spatial dimension.

She could see clearly that it really was Wu Erniu.

Wu Erniu's emergence from this house is rather... intriguing.

The woman who escorted Wu Erniu out was the same woman who had taken Sun Chengbao away that day. The woman was extremely respectful to Wu Erniu.

After Wu Erniu left, the woman closed the door. Seeing that no one was around, Du Mingxian changed her clothes in her spatial dimension and went to knock on the door.

The same woman opened the door again. Seeing Du Mingxian, the woman's eyes were filled with wariness. "Who are you?"

“I’m looking for a child who was sold to you the day before yesterday afternoon.”

The woman's expression immediately changed. "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand."

Seeing the woman about to close the door, Du Mingxian immediately reached out to stop her, "Let me finish speaking first. The day I saw the child enter this yard, I wanted to buy him back."

The woman still wouldn't listen and kept slamming the door shut.

“My sister was foolish and sold the child. Now my brother-in-law wants to beat her to death. My sister can’t live without finding the child. I had no choice but to come here. Please have mercy on her.”

The woman was skeptical. "Really?"

"Really, I brought money with me." Du Mingxian hurriedly took out two silver ingots, totaling twenty taels. "I really just want to take the child back and calm this storm down."

“Since your sister sold the child, it means she doesn’t want to raise him. What’s the use of you redeeming the child? Besides, I bought that child for ten taels of silver, and I can’t just sell him for ten taels again.”

"Don't worry, I'll pay twenty taels. My sister is a stepmother. Because of that child, my sister and brother-in-law's relationship is not good. My sister also wants to have her own child. She always feels that this child is in the way. My sister is confused, so she sold the child."

Du Mingxian said urgently, "Do you think this is a good idea? My sister may feel better selling the child, but that child is still my brother-in-law's child. If my brother-in-law doesn't want to, there's nothing anyone can do."

The woman glanced at the silver, seemingly hesitant. Du Mingxian hurriedly stuffed the silver into the woman's hand, saying, "Take this silver; consider it my way of redeeming my child."

The woman accepted the money, but her words were uncertain: "I can try to see if I can bring the child back to you, but... the chances are slim. You should be prepared."

“What do you mean by that? If we sell the child, we can just spend more money to buy him back. This time, even if we have to sell everything we own, we must bring the child back with us. Otherwise… I really won’t be able to explain this to my brother-in-law.”

The woman sighed, "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that the master took that child away a long time ago, you're too late."

"Isn't this your own business? Why don't you ask your boss?"

"Okay, I'll ask. But the boss just left before you came, so he definitely won't be coming today. I don't know where the boss lives, and I can't contact him. Usually, the boss comes to find me. You'll have to wait two days."

Du Mingxian looked anxious and troubled. "Isn't there any other way?"

"No."

“But if the child can’t be found, my sister will really be beaten to death by my brother-in-law.”

The woman shrugged. "Then you'll have to figure it out yourself."

Du Mingxian was also helpless and didn't know what to say, but she was certain of one thing: Wu Erniu was the owner of the house before her.

"Is the boss you're talking about the one who left before I came? But I saw him leave alone."

"The goods were delivered to the owner yesterday afternoon, and the owner came over today for some business."

"If I had known he was the owner, I would have insisted on keeping him here no matter what."

Perhaps because she had received the money, the woman was willing to say a few more words, "It's too late for you to say it now. You should go back first, and I'll try to see if I can get the person out for you as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you."

Du Mingxian had no choice but to leave first. She had originally wanted to catch up with Wu Erniu, but she had been talking to the woman for quite a while and really didn't know where Wu Erniu and the others lived.

After she left, she did not go home, but went to inquire about Chunfeng.

After Granny Dong entered Wu Daniu's residence, she left Xia Yu to go and help her from time to time. However, Xia Yu had been focused on the workshop and hadn't really paid attention to Granny Dong's situation.

Now that Wu Erniu has appeared, we must find him.

After asking Chunfeng to check Wu Erniu's residence, she slowly returned home.

When she got home, Ling Silang wasn't there, which was quite curious. Even the door to Guo Chen's room next door was locked.

After she got home, she could only read books by herself.

About half an hour later, Ling Silang returned, followed by Guo Chen, both carrying loads of goods.

"This is..." Most of the things in the house are produced by her space and she rarely goes out to buy them. Ling Silang doesn't care about these things. It's very strange that she brought back a lot of things with Guo Chen today.

Ling Silang put down the sack of flour on his shoulder before saying, "Guo Chen insisted on selling it. He was only a little better and couldn't carry it himself, so he dragged me along to carry it back."

Du Mingxian: "..." This is to thank them for saving his life.

Guo Chen smiled and put the things down. "Thank you for saving me."

“We’re all neighbors; it’s fate that we can live in the same courtyard,” Du Mingxian said.

Ling Silang said nothing more, and Guo Chen left after saying a few words.

Du Mingxian watched the person leave before stepping forward and asking in a low voice, "Is Guo Chen planning to partner with our family?"

"I suppose so. I think this kid has that idea in mind. Otherwise, even if it's to express his gratitude, he wouldn't buy so much stuff. It's enough to feed us for a long time. Maybe he's had our cooking these past few days and thought it tasted good, which is why he had this idea."

Du Mingxian didn't know what to say. "It seems that he has actually benefited a lot from this illness."

"It's okay. If we have extra food, we'll give it to him; if we don't, we won't. We don't insist that we cook for him or anything like that."

Du Mingxian understood the logic and said nothing more, "Alright, let's start cooking."

Ling Silang took out a small half-piece of pork. "Guo Chen bought it. He said he needed to replenish his body. Look, if I hadn't stopped him, he could have bought even more. I couldn't stop him, so we only bought a little before stopping."

Du Mingxian gave a forced smile, "How generous."

Ling Silang sensed something was off about what he was saying, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked, "How's the matter with the child going? Has it not been resolved?"

His wife seemed to be in a bad state.

"What's there to deal with? They bought it, and before anything even happened, the owner took it away. Guess who the owner is?"

Meeting Du Mingxian's teasing gaze, a name flashed through Ling Silang's mind.
