Chapter 649 Rescue
Soon Ling Dalang was called over and carried Wang Shi out. Du Mingxian tidied up the guest room where they had slept the night before and let Wang Shi move in.
After settling things over with Wang, Du Mingxian went to find Ling Silang, who was brewing medicine.
"If my sister-in-law doesn't take good care of her illness, it might cause problems later. Do you think we should find something for Mother to do?"
Ling's mother's mental state changed after the family incident. There's a saying that goes, "People can get sick from being idle." If you change your lifestyle, maybe it will work.
Ling Silang immediately understood the meaning behind Du Mingxian's words, "Then we need to discuss it with our sister-in-law first before we can tell our mother this."
“We’ll ask around and see if it’s okay. My sister-in-law really needs someone to take care of her right now. It would be a good thing to have Mom help take care of her first.”
"Okay, the medicine will be ready soon. Take it to your sister-in-law and ask her if it's alright. It's also to help Mother."
"it is good."
When Du Mingxian brought the medicine to Wang Shi, Wang Shi was sitting on the bed lost in thought. When she saw Du Mingxian come in, she hurriedly sat up straight. "Mingxian, why did you have to bring it over? You could have just asked a child to bring it over."
"Sister-in-law, we're all family. It doesn't matter who delivers it. Why are you being so formal with me?" Du Mingxian chuckled and stepped forward to place the medicine aside. "It's still a little hot; it needs to cool down."
"Okay." Wang was genuinely a little embarrassed. Seeing Du Mingxian arrive alone, she hurriedly asked, "Where's the child?"
"My husband brought it with him."
Thinking of Ling Silang's current state, Wang was also very happy. "Silang is gentle, he will definitely take good care of the child."
"That's true, my husband really likes children."
Wang felt sorry for Du Mingxian when she thought about the young couple giving birth outside. "Giving birth is such a big thing. You should have told your family so that someone from your family could have come over and helped out. It's just the two of you. I don't even know how you gave birth."
"Sister-in-law, we're fine. There are other people with us, so there's really no need to worry."
"You."
"Sister-in-law, there's something we'd like to discuss with you."
"You said."
"Well, given your current condition, you need to rest and be cared for. The rest of our family can take care of you, but..."
Wang hurriedly interrupted her, "It's okay, I'm fine. I don't need anyone to take care of me. I'm just too tired. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
“Sister-in-law, please listen to me. Our mother is sick and has nothing to do all day. We were thinking of talking to her and asking her to come and take care of you, and also to help her get treatment.”
"Treat the illness? Mother's illness can be treated like this?" Wang felt heartbroken whenever she thought of Ling's mother's illness. She was the first to marry into the Ling family, and her mother-in-law had always been an incredibly kind person. But this good mother-in-law had gone insane because of a shock.
Du Mingxian wasn't entirely sure either. "We currently think it's okay, but we still need to observe further before making a decision."
After thinking for a moment, Wang said, "If taking care of me can help Mother recover, I'm willing, but it will be hard on Mother."
“Actually, you can think of it this way: the more you need your mother’s care, the more your mother will feel that she is needed. With this feeling of being relied upon and needed, your mother’s illness may get better faster.”
"Okay, I will do my best to cooperate. If Mother's condition improves, it's okay if I'm sick for a while. But if it doesn't improve, then forget it."
"Okay, we were thinking of giving it a try too."
"Okay, it's settled then."
After the two agreed, Du Mingxian watched Wang Shi drink the medicine before going to find Ling Silang and telling him the result of their discussion. In the end, the two agreed that this was acceptable.
However, we still need to tell Ling's father about Ling's mother first.
Ling Silang went to see Ling's father alone.
When Ling's father saw his son coming to find him, he knew something must have happened, so he stopped digging and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Father, my sister-in-law and brother couldn't find a doctor this time. They are also suffering from long-term malnutrition due to stress, which has severely depleted their health. If my sister-in-law's health is not properly taken care of, she may not have much time left to live."
Ling's father's expression turned serious. "Is it that serious?"
"Yes, it's very serious."
Ling's father fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Father, you know about Mother's situation. Now we have an idea."
"what happened?"
“My sister-in-law needs someone to take care of her right now. If my mother could take care of her, it might help improve my mother’s condition. Of course, these are just our guesses. We’ll have to let my mother take care of my sister-in-law for a while to know for sure.”
"I have no objection to this, but you need to talk to your mother yourself. I definitely can't tell her."
"Okay, I'll talk to them. I'm glad you have no objections."
Ling's father waved his hand, "What objection could I possibly have?"
After chatting for a while, Ling Silang went to find his mother.
Ling's mother was in a daze, seemingly lost in thought.
"mother."
Ling's mother turned around, her eyes unfocused, and it took her a while to come to her senses. "Si Lang, is there something you need from your mother?"
“Mother, there is indeed something. My sister-in-law is sick, Mingxian has to take care of the children, and the mute woman has to do the housework. Everyone has time, and no one can take care of my sister-in-law. I was wondering if you could help take care of her?”
Ling's mother hesitated slightly, a hint of anxiety in her voice, "Is your sister-in-law sick?"
"Yes, my sister-in-law is quite ill; she can't get up very well."
"Oh, then I'll go take care of her. You go ahead and do your work. Do you still need to study? How are you feeling?"
"Mother, I'm fine, I'm all better now."
In a daze, Ling's mother seemed to know that Ling Silang's illness had been cured, and she kept nodding, "Good, good, I forgot that you're cured."
After agreeing on the terms, Ling's mother went to take care of Wang Shi, while Ling Silang and Du Mingxian stared blankly at the plan.
The situation involving Wang and Ling Dalang was something they hadn't anticipated, and now that they're looking at the plan, it doesn't seem quite right anymore.
"Still no news from Third Brother?" Du Mingxian was quite worried. "We've been back for a while now, so Third Brother shouldn't be gone for that long. Why don't we send someone to look for him?"
Ling Silang was also thinking about this. "Go ask your third sister-in-law first, see which direction your third brother usually goes, and then ask where he went this time. If that doesn't work, I'll have Qiu Shu and the others go together."
"Let's go find someone first. Other things have already happened, so we can put them off for now. But we can't delay on Third Brother's matter."
"Okay, I'll go to the county this afternoon and tell Qiu Shu to go there, but you still need to ask Third Sister-in-law first."
"I'll go ask."
Du Mingxian went to ask Liu Shi, who quickly told her everything she knew. In the past, when Ling Sanlang came back, he would mention it to her, but she herself did not know the specific way.
Chapter 650
“But usually he’s back within fifteen days of leaving, but this time he’s been gone for twenty days and hasn’t come back yet, so I’m a little worried.” Mrs. Liu was genuinely worried and didn’t know how he was doing.
Du Mingxian understood, "Third sister-in-law, don't worry. We will send people to look for him. We will follow the route that Third Brother usually takes and we will definitely bring him back."
"Yes, Mingxian's family depends on you and Silang. We, as her older brother and sister-in-law, are not capable enough."
"Third sister-in-law, we're family, so don't be so formal."
In the afternoon, Ling Silang went to the county to arrange for someone to go find Ling Sanlang.
When it comes to family matters, if everyone is present, then they should be discussed together. Other matters can wait.
Another two days passed.
Ling's mother finally found something to do, and her overall condition improved a lot. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she was in good spirits, and even Wang Shi had a smile on her face.
Zhou Shi took on another big job a couple of days ago and was busy preparing a banquet. She hasn't been home for the past two days, so Du Mingxian has finally had some peace and quiet. She spends her time playing with An'an and enjoying a leisurely life.
Since there is no news of Ling Sanlang, Liu comes over every day. It is obvious that she has lost a lot of weight because she is worried about Ling Sanlang.
On the fourth day after Ling Silang sent people to look for Ling Sanlang, Qiu Shu and the others finally sent a letter: the person had been found, but the situation was not good.
Ling Silang and Du Mingxian dared not delay. They took the child and told their families that the Xu family had something to do and they would stay in the county for two days. The two of them headed straight for the place Qiu Shu had arranged.
Because they were driving a horse-drawn carriage, they were traveling fast. They left around 3 p.m. and arrived at their destination in the early morning. They rested along the way, taking turns driving the carriage and resting.
When they arrived at the village that Qiu Shu had agreed to meet, their carriage moved forward. Just as they reached the village entrance, Chunfeng emerged from the shadows.
"Sir, madam."
It was quite startling to hear someone make a sound in the middle of the night, but Ling Silang and Du Mingxian already knew that someone was waiting outside, so they weren't too frightened, just a little nervous.
"Where are the people?"
Chunfeng could tell that Ling Silang was in a hurry. "Master, we're in the village. Please come with me."
Du Mingxian got up and got into the carriage. "Get in and lead the way, let's hurry."
Chunfeng quickly stepped forward and sat on the carriage. Ling Silang gave the reins to Chunfeng, and Chunfeng drove the carriage forward by the faint light of the torch in his hand.
The village was quite large, but they walked through the middle and stopped at the very back of the village, at the gate of the house furthest from the other houses.
"Master, Madam has arrived."
Du Mingxian and Ling Silang got off the carriage, and Chunfeng had already jumped off the carriage first to knock on the door.
The door was opened quickly, and Xia Yu opened it. When she saw Chunfeng and the people behind him, she hurriedly called out, "Madam, Master."
"What about people?"
"Master, I'm here."
The group entered the dimly lit woodshed, where a bed had been set up. It had been tidied up and wasn't dirty at all, but the environment itself was quite unpleasant.
Du Mingxian knew that Ling Silang definitely wanted to go into the space to check, "Have you seen a doctor? What did they say?"
"Just as mentioned in the letter, we consulted a doctor, who said the situation was not good and the injury was severe, especially the broken leg. We can't find a good doctor here, and the doctor's method of setting the bone was very rough, and we can't move the leg. We don't know what to do, so we can only write to you first."
"Good, you two did a great job. Go out and rest now. We'll take care of things here," Du Mingxian ordered.
Chunfeng and Xiayu knew that their mistress was different from others, but no one would mention it. The two obediently withdrew and thoughtfully closed the door behind them.
Seeing Ling Silang's anxious look, Du Mingxian said, "I'll take you into the space."
"Wait a minute." Ling Silang stopped him, took out a black cloth strip from his body, first blindfolded Ling Sanlang, and then said, "It's good to be careful. Although we are family, the fewer people who know about certain things, the less danger you will be in."
“Okay.” Du Mingxian liked Ling Silang’s caution. “I’ll take you in.”
The group entered the space, which was as bright as day. After a thorough examination, Ling Silang's expression turned grave. "Third Brother's leg wasn't set properly and needs to be re-set. I'm afraid he'll wake up in pain."
Du Mingxian thought of the medicine in her room, "I have medicine that can keep Third Brother from waking up."
"Okay." Ling Silang agreed without asking any questions.
Du Mingxian took the bullet from her tranquilizer gun and injected it into Ling Sanlang's body. He quickly lost consciousness, and then she nodded to Ling Silang, "It's done."
Ling Silang quickly set the bone, with Du Mingxian assisting him. The two worked together seamlessly.
After setting Ling Sanlang's leg back on, Du Mingxian asked, "Should we get some medicine for Third Brother from the space, brew it for him now?"
“I already know about Third Brother’s situation. He can’t stay in the space forever; the risk of exposure is too great. You should send Third Brother out first, and I’ll brew the medicine inside.”
"it is good."
Du Mingxian sent Ling Sanlang out of the space, and she herself did not stay in the woodshed for long. Instead, she went to ask the two people guarding the door.
When Chunfeng and Xiayu saw Du Mingxian open the door, they hurriedly asked, "Does Madam need anything?"
"No." Du Mingxian came out and closed the door behind her. "Where are the people who came with you?"
"Go check the information. We found some different things here, which seem to be related to your... in-laws' affairs. We're not entirely sure, but Qiu Shu and the others have gone to check."
After Chunfeng finished speaking, Xia Yu added, "We've found out they're all connected, but we'll need to investigate further to know the specifics. These people don't hide anything, so they're easy to investigate. However, some things from your family's past are harder to find out."
Du Mingxian understood. "You mean, the people they found out are in cahoots with the people who hurt my mother-in-law before?"
"That's a fair assessment, and they are very likely acting under someone's orders."
