Chapter 644 Angry
Ling Silang's eyes lit up instantly. "That's definitely not going to work. Besides, there are many people in our Ling family. With more family members, we'll be more united. We won't have to worry about our own family being bullied."
"Yes, that's what I think. Before, our family had some money, but we didn't have any clan land, and the school in the village was funded by our workshop."
“If we, as family members, were to take the lead in this matter, everyone could receive a share of the profits, which would be like having our own cake. If anyone were to take a bite out of that cake, then we certainly couldn’t allow it.”
"One more thing, you will definitely become an official in the future. One tree cannot support a whole. If a family wants to grow stronger, it must have outstanding talents. We can do a business together, just as a family business."
"Then we bought land and hired tutors so that every child could study. Of course, the imperial examinations depended on whether they had talent. Some people wanted to study, while others did not."
"Those who are unwilling to study can simply learn and understand principles; nothing else matters. What do you think?"
"Once everyone's overall understanding improves, it will also benefit us. Moreover, if the clan can cultivate a few more officials, it will be a good thing for both of us."
"In officialdom, you can look out for each other, and perhaps a hundred years from now, you will also be a distinguished family."
Du Mingxian's promise was incredibly grand, and Ling Silang's eyes lit up with a startling gleam. He was also amazed by Du Mingxian's idea, as he had previously considered giving something to his clan after becoming an official.
For example, we could ask the gentleman for help, or offer some assistance to certain people, but none of these solutions were as good as the one Du Mingxian mentioned, which completely solved the problem at its root.
"Good, good, that's a great idea." Ling Silang looked at Du Mingxian with sparkling eyes, and finally couldn't resist leaning forward to kiss her.
Just then, Xiao Zhou, who had just walked in, saw it. Xiao Zhou felt her eyes were a little dazzled, and perhaps seeing Du Mingxian made her not want to leave.
"I never expected you to have this side to you, Silang."
Even with his thick skin, Ling Silang felt awkward being seen doing this, and his ears turned red. He said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Second sister-in-law, you didn't knock before you came in."
"I knocked, but I didn't hear anything, so I thought I'd come in and check. Who knew I'd see this?" Little Zhou said quite confidently.
Ling Silang didn't know what to say.
Ignoring Ling Silang, Madam Zhou stepped forward and asked Du Mingxian, "What are you writing and drawing about?"
"Second sister-in-law, this is the direction of our family's business that I wrote down. It's just the beginning and not finished yet. Once the plan is complete, we can proceed according to it."
Seeing that Xiao Zhou Shi had no intention of leaving, Ling Silang felt really embarrassed to stay in such a situation, so he got up and left.
He was still in a bad mood as he walked outside the courtyard. Everyone wanted to steal his wife, which was very annoying.
Just then, Ling Erlang came out of his courtyard and saw Ling Silang at the gate. He even mocked, "What's going on? Did your second sister-in-law go in again?"
"Second brother, you're a grown man, how come you can't even control your sister-in-law? She keeps coming to our house and going to see my wife. What kind of situation is this?" Ling Silang felt so wronged that he could only vent his anger on Ling Erlang.
Ling Erlang walked forward with a smile, his expression somewhat smug. "Oh dear, what can you two be doing in broad daylight? Your second sister-in-law misses your sister-in-law so much. Before you left, she couldn't sleep at night."
"You've finally come back, so what's wrong with letting your second sister-in-law stay with her a little longer? It's no big deal."
Ling Silang rolled his eyes. "Second sister-in-law, you still need to keep an eye on your own wife. It's not good for her to keep coming over to see my wife. If I get angry, I will scold her."
Ling Erlang shrugged. "It's alright, go ahead and tell them, I don't mind."
Ling Silang was really angered by Ling Erlang. In the past, his family treated him so well. After his sisters-in-law entered the family, although his mother kept him in check, his sisters-in-law were indeed quite good to him.
Although his second sister-in-law always monopolizes his wife, which makes him very unhappy, he can only do this and has no other choice.
"What's wrong? Can't bring yourself to say it? If you can't, then don't say it. It's fine to have your wife keep your sister-in-law company. Besides, you two are together every day when you're out and about. Don't you get tired of each other?"
Ling Silang said coldly and indifference, as if in a fit of pique, "Not greasy at all, not greasy at all."
He's away from home and not with his wife. He's busy with other things every day, his head is always on his shoulders, he doesn't have time to think about anything else.
At that time, survival was the only priority; nothing else mattered.
"Alright, don't be angry. Now that you're feeling better, come with your second brother to go for a walk in the mountains. It's not good for you to be so clingy with your wife all day long."
Ling Silang's mind flashed back to the scene where he had just kissed his wife, only to have his second sister-in-law suddenly walk in, and he immediately blushed.
Ling Erlang immediately sensed something was amiss. "No way, no way, you're really with your wife in broad daylight... you know?"
"No, I just gave her a kiss, and my second sister-in-law came in and saw it."
Ling Erlang laughed heartily upon hearing this, “You…you really have bad luck, but it’s alright, we’re all family anyway. Your second sister-in-law does like gossip, but she won’t tell anyone about this. Don’t worry, she’ll only talk about it to me at most.”
Ling Silang was furious. Listen to his second brother! Is he even speaking human language? What do you mean he won't tell anyone? Why would he tell anyone about something like this? It's not like it's anything good.
When did everyone in the family change? They became... shameless and even started joking around. This must be related to my second brother and sister-in-law always going out to cook for other people.
My second brother wasn't usually this eloquent.
