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

Chapter 11: Blocked on the road, longing for women.

Du Mingxian nodded slightly. Yes, she had seen it before. She and Ye Mingwei went into the mountains together, and Ye Mingwei dug it out.

Zhou was truly envious. "No wonder Mother insisted on spending over fifty taels to marry her. With such a blessed girl, perhaps Fourth Brother's illness will really be cured after she enters the family."

At this point, she realized something was amiss and gave an awkward smile, "Fourth sister-in-law, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just simply envious."

Du Mingxian had no opinion. She had heard too many compliments since she was a child, and Ye Mingwei was a lucky woman who brought many benefits to the Ye family. She had also benefited from her.

When I got home, it was getting dark.

At this time, everyone goes to bed as soon as it gets dark, and there is no entertainment. Du Mingxian also closed the door early and slipped into the space.

I changed the packaging of the two pastries in the kitchen. I'll give the second packaging to my mother tomorrow, and the fourth packaging of the pastry will be given to the Ye family tomorrow.

After doing all that, she took the seeds to her space to start working. She forgot to buy farming tools, but luckily, the space had tools that the previous owner used for planting flowers, so they were fine for planting vegetables.

She planted the seeds one by one, then brought water to water them one by one, constantly conducting experiments.

If the spring water is continuously used to irrigate, the plants will take root, sprout, break through the soil, grow taller, slowly bloom, bear fruit, and eventually mature at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even if you keep watering it after it matures, it won't grow any longer.

Therefore, once it grows to a certain size, the spiritual spring water loses its effect, and it will not mature to the point of rotting.

Looking at the two acres of land, she wondered when she could fill it with crops.

Considering she was going back to her parents' home the next day, she entered the space at 8 p.m. and worked until midnight.

She forced some of them to ripen, and planted the rest directly without watering them, letting them grow freely, wanting to see how long it would take for plants to grow in the black soil without the spiritual spring water.

The space is kept at a constant temperature, so after taking a shower, you can rest directly in the space.

Today, it was Second Sister-in-law Zhou who cooked. Du Mingxian went out for a run before returning. This time, she took the initiative to bring water to Ling Silang. When she entered the room, Ling Silang was picking out clothes.

She noticed the clothes on the stool next to her and asked, "Do these need to be washed?"

Ling Silang turned around, his face flushed, "Yes, these were all washed by Mother in the past."

"Mother said yesterday that I will be responsible for everything concerning you from now on."

"Then... thank you for your hard work, my wife."

Du Mingxian nodded slightly. She didn't want to wash it at all, but... she could put it in her spatial dimension and throw it directly into the washing machine. It wouldn't be a big problem.

After taking the clothes out, she went to the river to make an appearance. The clothes had already been thrown into the washing machine. She would take them out after they were washed in her space, then soak them in the river, wring them out, and bring them back.

Just as Zhou was about to stand in the yard and call the children for dinner, she saw Du Mingxian return. She was surprised, "Fourth sister-in-law, you're quite fast. The clothes are already washed?"

"I don't have many clothes." Du Mingxian stood in the courtyard, shaking out the clothes to hang them out to dry, when she discovered... the clothes were torn.

She was shocked. Suddenly, she realized that everyone takes good care of their clothes these days. Some clothes may look new, but they are actually many years old. So... the washing machine ruined them.

She was extremely embarrassed. She looked around and found only two small tears. Just as she was wondering what to do, she heard a noise.

Turning around, she met Ling Silang's embarrassed gaze. "Perhaps the clothes are old. I'll have my mother mend them for me later."

Du Mingxian felt embarrassed. She had never touched a needle and thread in her past life, and she would never do it again in this one. "Then I'll talk to my mother about it later."

After the meal, Ling's mother called out to Ling Silang and Du Mingxian, "Mingxian is returning to her parents' home today. Silang, you can't drive, so let your second brother take you there."

"Okay." Ling Silang had no further thoughts.

Du Mingxian hurriedly said, "Mother, how about I learn from my second brother and catch up? It will be more convenient if I go out in the future."

Ling's mother wanted to say that very few women drive carriages, but then she heard Ling Silang say, "Since you want to learn, I'll have my second brother teach you first. If you learn quickly, we can go back to your parents' home together later."

"it is good."

Seeing that her son had spoken, Ling's mother didn't say anything more, but looked up and asked, "Are the things ready?"

"Already prepared."

Ling's mother didn't say anything more, only instructing, "Go and come back soon, Silang still needs to study."

"Yes."

Just as Du Mingxian was about to leave, she heard Ling Silang say, "Mother, the clothes I'm wearing hanging in the yard have two tears. Could you please mend them for me?"

“Mingxian…”

"Mother, your son still prefers the tonics you make."

Ling's mother glared at him. Although she liked her son being close to her, he was married after all. "You are married now. Even though you and Mingxian don't live in the same house, you are still a couple. You should talk to her first about your problems."

Du Mingxian understood her mother-in-law's meaning and immediately spoke up, "Mother, I only do rough work at my parents' house. I'm not very good at sewing and mending. My husband sometimes has to go out, and if the sewing doesn't look good, people will laugh at us."

Ling's mother nodded slightly in agreement, "Alright, the clothes in your yard, I'll have your sister-in-law alter them for Da Bao. We haven't made many new clothes for you this year, so this is a good opportunity to make a set."

Ling Silang said, "Mother, just mend my clothes. None of the children in the family have worn new clothes much. Make a set for each of them with the fabric you have."

Ling's mother waved her hand, "These little rascals, their clothes get dirty in no time, they don't need new ones. Listen to your mother." Seeing that Ling Silang was about to speak, she interrupted him directly, "Alright, you can go out now. Aren't you going to find your second brother to learn how to drive an oxcart?"

The two were thus dismissed.

Du Mingxian is really good at driving oxcarts; she learned it in her past life when she was married to Wu Daniu.

When Wu Daniu wasn't home, the family had some money and bought an ox. Wu Erniu was too playful to care for it, so she was the one who drove the oxcart to plow the fields.

So after pretending to learn for a while, Du Mingxian had already grasped the essentials and was doing a pretty good job. Ling Erlang also felt that his fourth sister-in-law was really smart.

It was already eleven o'clock when they set off. Du Mingxian drove the oxcart, which was loaded with pastries. Ling Silang sat on the side, and the two headed towards Ye Family Village.

Ling Silang glanced back at the pastries on the oxcart, thought for a moment and said, "It's the first time we're returning to our parents' home, so it's probably not good to have too few things. Why don't we go to town first? I still have some money on me, so I can buy some more things."

Du Mingxian knew he meant well, "No need."

Ling Silang then fell silent.

The two sat there in silence, the only sounds being the cow moving forward and the creaking of the cart.

They were husband and wife, yet they acted like strangers.

The oxcart moved slowly, and just as it reached the edge of the woods, three men suddenly jumped out. One carried a knife, and the other two carried sticks, looking fierce and menacing.

"stop."

The oxcart stopped. Du Mingxian frowned slightly, remaining quite calm. Ling Silang grabbed Du Mingxian with one hand and leaned half his body over to protect her behind him.

"What do you want to do?"

The three men exchanged a glance and laughed arrogantly. "What else can we do? We're lonely, so of course we're thinking about women."
