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

In the past, Wang Shi was known for being mean, calculating, and full of petty schemes. Du Mingxian never expected Wang Shi to be like this today.

At this moment, Madam Zhou also rushed over with the dishes, saying, "Just talk, why are you resorting to violence? This is the Ling family home. You're attacking members of the Ling family. You're showing us no respect at all."

Liu followed behind Zhou without saying a word, but her eyes were fixed on Xu Yulan.

Xu Yulan was angry at the rudeness of the younger generation, but what she cared about more was the Wu family and her daughter's affairs. Du Mingxian was the first to be engaged to the Wu family, and now that she could say such things, Du Mingxian must know something.

It must be like this.

My daughter is always well at home; she's the luckiest girl. She's always been like this since she was little, and the family has only been able to get by because of her.

But after the daughter married into the Wu family, such good things never happened. She even went into the mountains for a little bit of wild game and ended up getting hurt. It was too strange.

The rest of the Du family remained silent, but Du Mingcheng stepped forward to block Xu Yulan's path. "My mother is worried about my eldest sister's situation. What did Du Mingxian say to my mother just now that caused her to react this way? Shouldn't we ask the person involved?"

“Even if it’s the Ling family, Du Mingxian is still a daughter of the Du family. My mother was her aunt and asked some questions. How did that offend you? You all have this attitude of questioning us. Is this how you treat your guests?”

Zhou handed the dishes she was carrying forward, saying, "Isn't this enough to entertain guests? What more do you want? Who else can provide this much meat? Tell me so I can go and see if it's true. You've made it sound like you're being polite."

At this moment, Old Lady Du spoke up, "Mingxian, just tell your aunt what she wants to know. Look how anxious she is."

Before Du Mingxian could speak, Zhou sneered, "That's an interesting point. My fourth sister-in-law has to tell everyone everything she knows. Does she have no privacy at all?"

Liu put the plate of food on the table, turned around and pulled Du Mingxian over, "Let's go to the kitchen. Even though your family is here, your sister-in-law and fourth brother are enough to take care of them."

Du Mingxian was forcibly dragged to the kitchen. Ling's mother asked two people from the village to help. The dishes had all been prepared in advance and there were extras. All that was needed now was to cook them.

Liu entered the kitchen with a resentful look on her face. "Mother, I'll cook the rest of the dishes."

"what?"

“They’ve already started eating outside. The aunties have had a long day, so let them go out to eat. I’ll cook for them.”

Ling's mother knew a little about this daughter-in-law, so she simply sent two women from the village to eat. When she turned around, she saw Liu grab a handful of salt and put it into the pot.

"Oh dear, this amount of salt is enough to stir-fry three dishes."

Liu smiled and said, "It's alright, Mother. I won't put salt in the next two dishes, so I can save some."

Ling's mother: "..."

Du Mingxian sat in front of the stove and tended the fire.

As the dishes were served one by one, the people at the other table had already started eating. The Ling family arrived late, so by the time they were halfway through their meal inside, the food outside had already been finished.

These days, leftovers are impossible; many tables and plates are licked clean.

The table was put together by the villagers, along with bowls, chopsticks, and other items. Everyone had a good time eating today, so when they went home, they simply took their own belongings with them to wash at home.

By the time Old Lady Du questioned the taste of the dishes in the courtyard, there were only a few people left outside. Only Ling's father's brothers and their sons were sweeping the entrance; the others had already gone home.

The noise in the courtyard was quite loud. As soon as Ling Laoda heard the noise, he frowned and said, "Second brother, go in and take a look."

Ling's father waved his hand, "No need, Si Lang and the children's mother are inside, there's no need for me."

Ling Laoda was speechless. This younger brother of his always knew how to hide when faced with problems.

Ling Laowu was the youngest among them, but he was the most perceptive. "Big brother, it's best if second brother doesn't want to go in. It's obvious that the Du family isn't easy to get along with. If second brother goes in and gets entangled with them, he'll at least save face. But it's a different story if second sister-in-law and the children are there."

Ling's father nodded in agreement, "Fifth brother is right."

When Old Lady Du questioned the cooking in the courtyard, Wang immediately smiled and said, "Oh dear, my dear in-law, this is just how we cook. If you're not satisfied with our food, it seems your food is quite good."

"Of course, our family has the best life in the village."

“Oh, that’s wonderful! Next time Mingxian goes back to her parents’ home, we’ll go with her. I also want to try the delicious food that my in-laws’ grandmother mentioned.” Wang said with a shy smile. “To be honest, our family is poor, and we haven’t had many good meals.”

Grandma Du didn't sense anything amiss and glanced at her, "Your family has such a nice yard, and you're telling me this is considered a bad life?"

"Hey, what's the big deal? It's all thanks to my fourth brother and sister-in-law. It's because of the ginseng they dug up on the mountain that our family has the confidence to build a house, isn't it?"

"I must say, this family is really good. My fourth brother's health is much better now. He used to have to take medicine every few days, but now he can go a month without taking medicine and he's fine. His health is getting better and better."

"You are so lucky, Grandma. First you have a blessed granddaughter, and then you have a granddaughter like my fourth brother's wife. Someone like my fourth brother's wife wouldn't be considered a blessed woman in your family, but she is truly a lucky one in our family."

At this point, Wang's eyes darted to Wu Daniu, who was standing silently to the side. "This brother is the one who married Fu Nu, right? You are truly blessed. Fu Nu is famous. You must have a much better life after marrying her."

Wu Daniu looked rather uneasy, feeling as if this woman's words were stabbing him right in the heart.

When Du Mingwei, a woman of good fortune, married into the Wu family, everyone thought that Wu Daniu had gotten a huge advantage. But in reality... after Du Mingwei married into the Wu family, nothing changed at all, and there was no good fortune at all.

But even after he told me, I didn't get any response.

In the past, when people in the village asked, he would just laugh it off. But now... he didn't refuse. He just said, "I don't know if the rumors about Fu Nu are true. Ming Wei is a good person, but she hasn't brought any good things to the family since she married in."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding air fell silent.

Wu Erniu was furious with his sister-in-law, Du Mingwei, because she had been bitten by a snake. "What lucky woman? That's nonsense! My sister-in-law has brought no good fortune since she married into the family. Instead, she's brought me bad luck everywhere. Look at my leg, it's all because of her."

"You're talking nonsense! It was clearly you who instigated Mingwei to go up the mountain, causing her to be bitten by a snake. Now you're trying to pin all the blame on Mingwei." Xu Yulan wouldn't allow anyone to talk about her daughter like that, so she immediately retorted.
