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

Wu Erniu was angry, feeling that the Du family was really despicable. "It was agreed that Sister Mingxian would marry into our family. Sister Mingxian was very good at working in the Du family, and we were really looking forward to Sister Mingxian marrying into our family."

“But the date hasn’t arrived yet, and you’re in such a hurry to come to my brother and say you want to move the date forward and change the person. We really thought you meant well.”

"Who knew you would marry the blessed Mingxian to the Ling family, but instead marry the ordinary Du Mingwei to our family? That's fine."

"Du Mingwei is no good at work, she always has a long face, and she has not brought us any benefits, she has even harmed us."

Xu Yulan was furious. She rushed forward and slapped Wu Erniu across the face. "How dare you talk such nonsense! Who doesn't know that my Mingwei is a lucky woman? She has brought a lot of benefits to our Du family in the past."

Wu Erniu was going through a rebellious phase. Being beaten like this in front of so many people made him lose face. He grabbed Xu Yulan by the collar and said fiercely, "Try hitting me again."

"You..." Xu Yulan was truly frightened by Wu Erniu's madness.

Du Mingcheng immediately stepped forward, "Erniu, let go, let go quickly."

Wu Erniu wouldn't listen at all, his eyes wide open, clearly unwilling.

Du Mingcheng could only look at Wu Daniu on the side and said, "Brother-in-law, are you just going to stand by and watch? Stop it quickly!"

Wu Daniu said sullenly, "Erniu has never been slapped in the face before in his entire life."

“I was angry just now. Don’t you know best how my sister is? She’s your wife. She’s your wife and your fate is intertwined. Erniu spoke of his sister-in-law like that, and you didn’t even defend her? I hit him because I was anxious.”

Du Mingcheng was also angry. "Besides, if Wu Erniu hadn't insisted that my sister go into the mountains with him, would things have turned out like this?"

Wu Daniu really didn't know what to say. It seemed like he could justify anything. However, Xu Yulan was an elder after all. In front of so many people, Wu Daniu could get angry, but he couldn't openly beat her up.

"Erniu let go."

Wu Erniu listened to Wu Daniu and immediately released Xu Yulan, but still warned, "Watch your words in the future."

Xu Yulan was still shaken and didn't say anything more, but... the Wu family were truly despicable.

The Ling family just watched as things escalated, and no one stepped forward to speak. Even Wang, who had been trying to liven things up, seemed to have forgotten about it.

The situation in the courtyard was extremely awkward.

Du Mingxian saw through their situation clearly and remained silent. However, Ling Silang saw her come out of the kitchen, went up to her, and took her hand. "Are you hungry?"

"good."

"Sit down and have something to eat."

Du Mingxian glanced at the table. Wu Sanniu, Wu Dahua, and the others were practically drooling all over the table. The earlier farce hadn't affected their eating at all.

"Not hungry."

Ling Silang didn't miss the disdain in her eyes. He chuckled inwardly, gently squeezed her hand, and mouthed, "Eat in a bit."

Du Mingxian nodded slightly.

"Grandpa, Dad, there's still some wine at home. I'll go get it. Everyone's here to have a good time, let's drink together."

Old Du liked wine, so he said, "You have wine? Then bring it out quickly."

Grandma Du quickly reminded them, "Why don't you stop drinking? We're here today on important business."

"It's alright, regular alcohol can't do anything to me."

Ling Silang quickly brought out the wine and poured it for everyone. Then everyone started drinking, while Du Mingxian thought about the wine from her previous life.

In both her past lives, ancient wines had almost no alcohol content and weren't considered high-quality. Reborn this time, she had completely forgotten how to brew wine – a truly regrettable situation.

She walked up to Ling Silang and picked up the wine jar in front of him. "I'll go get another jar of wine."

There was only one jar of wine in Ling Silang's room, but he didn't ask about it after seeing Du Mingxian leave.

After Du Mingxian entered the room, she directly opened a bottle of Erguotou from her spatial storage. She had bought the wrong liquor and hadn't returned it; it had just been piling up in the room. Now it would come in handy.

She diluted a lot of water into the Erguotou, but even so... it's still a pretty good liquor these days.

She took it out and whispered to Ling Silang, "Drink less."

Ling Silang knew that Du Mingxian had put the wine in the jar as soon as he lifted it, and he immediately went to pour wine for everyone.

Old Mrs. Du tried several times to mention the purpose of her visit, but before she could speak, Ling Silang or Wang Shi would interrupt her. After a few rounds of drinks, only Ling Silang remained sober at the table. Wang Shi, who was also eating at the table, was now completely drunk and unconscious, and Ling's mother was also drunk.

Zhou wasn't feeling well today. She moved house yesterday and couldn't resist cooking a nice meal last night, but as a result... she kept running to the outhouse all day and didn't know much about the Du family's affairs.

When she returned from the outhouse, everyone had collapsed.

"What's going on here?"

Du Mingxian innocently raised her hand, "I'm drunk."

"Oh, you're so drunk. I'll go find your second brother and the others, and have them take the Du family back home."

"it is good."

Before the Du family could say a word or even make a scene, the Ling family packed them up and sent them home. As they walked, they chatted with the villagers, their conversation revolving around how the Du family had gotten so drunk.

At the Ling family's house, Ling's mother was carried back inside, and Du Mingxian washed her before she came out.

Liu was to take care of the eldest sister-in-law, and Du Mingxian even specially prepared some honey to send to Ling Dalang's house so that Wang would drink it when she woke up.

Seeing that Du Mingxian was busy, Ling Silang quietly followed her.

After Du Mingxian finished arranging the trivial matters, she realized she was very hungry. Before she could even enter the kitchen, Ling Silang had already started a fire.

"Teach me how to cook."

Du Mingxian was quite surprised. "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen," she said, "people in this era pay considerable attention to this. You really want to learn?"

"If you want to learn, then you teach me."

"Okay."

Ling Silang himself was happy to accept it, and Du Mingxian was happy to be a teacher. Having another person to cook at home would also be helpful in case of any emergencies.

There was chicken soup to cook, and Du Mingxian directed Ling Silang to roll out the dough. Finally, a poached egg and a handful of green vegetables were added to the chicken soup noodles, making it look very appetizing.

The two ate noodles in the kitchen.

Because the family had more space and fewer people after the division of property, they designed suites with an outer room for dining and an inner room for cooking, which was just right.

The two had just finished eating when Ling's father returned. Seeing them there but not Ling's mother, he was somewhat surprised and asked, "Where's your mother?"

"He drank too much and is asleep inside."

"Drunk? You've been drinking?"

"Ah."

"How much wine did you drink? You can drink so much!"

Ling Silang knew that his father loved wine and even brewed simple wine when he was young. "The wine jar is at the entrance of the main room. If it's not finished, Dad will know just by tasting it."

A moment later, they heard Ling's father calling urgently from outside, "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother."
