Chapter 637 You brat

The incense was lit, and soon Ling's mother slowly fell asleep. Seeing that she was sound asleep, Du Mingxian got up to go find Ling Silang.

When Ling Silang saw Du Mingxian coming over, he knew that his mother had already fallen asleep. "Let Mother rest well. Sleeping more will be good for her recovery."

"Hmm, make some more incense. I'll put some outside, and I'll also tell Dad and Granny so they can light it if we're not around."

"We'll do it tonight."

The moment Ling Silang opened his eyes the next day, he asked, "Now that we're back, are we going to the Du family today?"

"I have to go." Du Mingxian was reluctant to go, but what could she do if she didn't go?

The filial piety of a son is paramount, so she, as his daughter, had no choice but to go, as Ling Silang would be pursuing a career in government and could not afford any blemishes on his record.

After dinner, Du Mingxian and Ling Silang carried An'an and headed to the Du family home.

Ling's mother was very worried yesterday, but they returned in the afternoon and said they were going to the Du family today, so Ling's mother did not stop them.

Before leaving, the two visited Ling Sanlang's house.

Liu has been tidying up ever since she returned. She used to be busy in the county and rarely came back, always thinking about how to earn more money. Now that she's back, she wants to tidy up properly.

"Third Sister-in-law, where are the children?"

“They went out to play. They were learning embroidery with me in the backyard every day in the county. It was tough on a group of boys. Now that the shop can't be opened, it's good to let them go out and have some fun when they go back to the village.”

"Third sister-in-law, Mother mentioned Da Bao's engagement yesterday. It seems like Mother wants Da Bao to get engaged. You're usually at home, so see if you know any suitable girls for Da Bao."

Liu shook her head. "The previous one broke off the engagement because he heard about our family's situation. Now, given the current situation, there might not be any girls willing to marry into our family."

"That's not necessarily true. We should still inquire around. If there's someone who likes Da Bao, that would be a good match."

"Okay, I'll think about it, but we should wait until my sister-in-law comes back before making a decision. Maybe she has a suitable candidate."

“I’m just mentioning it so we can make preparations. Given Mother’s current condition, going along with her wishes will also help her recover.”

"I got it."

"Third Sister-in-law, we won't go to the county for now. You should get some rest. I'm going to the Du family's house."

"Are you going back to the Du family?"

"Yes, let's go back to the Du family."

"Then please drive carefully."

Du Mingxian and Ling Silang walked there. Both of them were in good health, so carrying the child was not a big deal. On the way, they even went into their space to make some selections.

After thinking it over, nothing seemed right, so I just took two pounds of flour and nothing else.

As we entered Kaoshan Village, we found some people there. However, when Du Mingxian was with the Du family, she was a skinny little girl who did nothing but work every day.

Sometimes he would keep his head down and didn't interact much with the villagers.

After marrying into the Ling family, she changed drastically, and her entire demeanor was so different that no one would recognize her.

Some people were curious about what the two did for a living, but no one dared to greet them.

Du Mingxian, on the other hand, would call out to anyone she saw and greet them. Seeing their confusion, she didn't explain who she was and went straight to the Du family home.

Ling Silang was a very clever man. He quickly figured out why everyone was reacting, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.

Du Mingxian joked, "Back when I was in the Du family, I was skinny and wiry. Nobody would have guessed that I'm doing so well now. My appearance and demeanor have changed so much that no one would recognize me."

"You," Ling Silang said, but his heart ached for her.

"Fortunately, your cousin didn't want to marry me back then, so she let you marry into the family instead."

Du Mingxian smiled without saying a word; she still couldn't tell Ling Silang that she was a reborn person.

The matter of exchanging brides...

There's an old saying that goes, "To forge iron, one must be strong oneself." As long as you have the ability, you can have a good life with anyone.

Strong people never complain about their environment; this is not just a saying.

The two walked all the way to the Du family's house. The sound of chickens crowing came from the courtyard, followed by Old Mrs. Du's cursing, "You wretched thing, you even stomped on an egg when it laid it. I'll kill you and eat your meat sooner or later."

This is insulting a chicken.

Du Mingxian went up and knocked on the door. Du's mother's voice came from inside, asking, "Who is it?"

Before Du Mingxian could speak, Old Lady Du had already rushed over and, without waiting for her to say anything, pulled open the latch and opened the door.

"You..." Old Mrs. Du hadn't seen Du Mingxian for a long time. When she saw her now, she couldn't believe it. First, she was surprised, then she was jealous. "Mingxian."

"it's me."

Grandma Du wanted to say something, but when she saw Ling Silang behind her, holding a child, her face immediately lit up with a smile, and she stepped back to let him in. "Silang's here, come in quickly."

This grandson-in-law is a scholar.

Ignoring Old Lady Du's expression, Du Mingxian strode inside. There were many chickens in the yard, and the sanitation wasn't very good; a faint smell of manure lingered in the air.

In the past, Du Mingxian was the one who cleaned the house. If it was even slightly dirty, Old Lady Du would instruct her to clean it up, saying that she couldn't stand any smell and that it had to be spotless.

She's no longer that clean and particular old lady.

"Grandma, didn't you clean it up? Who can stand this stench? When I was at home before, you said you couldn't eat because of the smell and felt uncomfortable all over."

"Now that the smell is so strong, do you feel better all over? You can eat your meal now."

Before Old Mrs. Du could even close the door, she heard Du Mingxian's sarcastic voice, and her face immediately changed. "You brat, don't think you're all grown up just because you're married. You're still a woman of the Du family. When you come back from your marriage, if you see any work in the yard, hurry up and do it. Stop babbling here."

"Who are you talking about? See? Clean up the chicken coop and pigsty in the yard, and chop up all that firewood too."

Du Mingxian was amused by her bossy attitude. "Grandma, are you kidding me? You've already married me off, and you still want me to do chores?"

“What’s wrong with doing some work? You brat, don’t think I don’t know that your in-laws are broke right now and owe a lot of money to loan sharks. They’re a bankrupt family, what good are they?”

As soon as Old Lady Du finished speaking, Ling Silang, standing to the side, said quietly, "Let's go back. There's no need for us to come here."

Du Mingxian immediately cooperated, "Yes, we really shouldn't have come here. Standing here, the barking of dogs is making my head spin."

"What...what are you saying? Who are you calling a dog?"

"Whoever interrupts, just because I call you 'Grandma' doesn't mean you're some kind of elder. Don't forget what you did to me. I'm a member of the Ling family now, and you have no right to order me around."

Old Mrs. Du pointed at Du Mingxian with trembling fingers, her breathing uneven with anger, "You...you wretched girl."
