Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

After putting the wild boar into the space, Li Mengyue started to go back.

After catching a satisfactory prey, Li Mengyue did not stay for long on the way back. She reached the outskirts of the forest in half the time.

After stopping, Li Mengyue moved the little wild boar out of the space, found some strong branches, tied the little wild boar on them, and pulled it back.

What she didn't know was that the visitor to the Li family's old house not only brought trouble to Li Mengyue, but also attracted bandits in the near future, and the entire Xinghua Village was almost massacred.

A female voice was heard from Old Lady Li’s bedroom in the old house of the Li family.

"Mom, your arm is injured. Where is the second sister-in-law? Why doesn't she come to serve you? And where is the taciturn eldest sister-in-law?"

"Jiaojiao, my daughter, if you don't come back, you won't be able to see me anymore. I'm going to be bullied to death."

Old Mrs. Li looked at her little daughter, and all the grievances she had suffered from Li Mengyue burst out.

"Ow...Ow..."

Li Jiaojiao saw her mother pulling her arm and crying loudly, with her snot and tears getting on her new clothes, and she felt disgusted.

But she came back with something, and even though she didn't get what she wanted, she still had to coax my mother and ask her to help her.

"Mom, what did you say? Who dares to bully you? Tell me quickly."

"Woo... it's the little hoof."

"belch!"

Old Mrs. Li was crying and hiccuping at the same time. As one of her arms was paralyzed, she used Li Jiaojiao's clothes to wipe her tears and nose.

"Mom, you have soiled my clothes, which are made of new fabrics."

Li Jiaojiao couldn't bear it any longer as her mother wiped her nose on her new clothes. She stood up and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the stains on the clothes, but the more she wiped, the dirtier the clothes became. She got so angry that she started crying too.

"Woo..."

"Mother, you don't know, this dress of mine cost two taels of silver. It is my best dress, and you have made it dirty."

Old Mrs. Li had no intention of hearing her little daughter's reproach. Her nose was aching so much that she couldn't speak.

It turned out that Li Jiaojiao stood up suddenly. Old Mrs. Li didn't pay attention and her face hit the bed directly. Coincidentally, her nose hit the bulge on the bed.

"Mom, you have to give me five taels of silver, and I want to make another one."

Li Jiaojiao was so focused on washing clothes that she became a little impatient when she didn't hear Old Lady Li's consent.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? I came back today, but instead of asking my eldest and second sisters-in-law to make me something delicious, you even soiled my clothes. It seems like I shouldn't have come back today."

Old Mrs. Li waited until her nose didn't hurt so much before she heard what her daughter said. She felt so sad that she was about to cry again.

What sin had she committed? Since her daughter was born, she had given her all the good things to her, and even when she grew up, she was reluctant to let her work in the fields.

She even chose her daughter's marriage carefully. Others would ask for a dowry when marrying off their daughter, but her family did not ask for a dowry. She also privately gave her daughter an extra 20 taels of silver, a pair of gold bracelets, and gold earrings, hoping that her daughter would have more confidence and an easier life in her husband's family.

She took great pains to take care of her daughter, but how did her daughter repay her?

The last time he came back was four months ago. He said he was going to see her, but when he left he brought with him a lot of bags and five taels of silver.

When she came back today, she was so injured that she couldn't move. Her daughter didn't say a word of concern, and she was still complaining that she had soiled her clothes.

Just when Old Mrs. Li was feeling extremely sad, Li Jiaojiao saw her mother's ugly face and finally reacted. She swallowed the sarcastic words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Then she said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

As she spoke, Li Jiaojiao helped Old Lady Li up. However, Li Jiaojiao had never done any work since she was a child, and Old Lady Li was quite heavy. When she pulled hard, she caused secondary injury to her.

"Okay, okay, Jiaojiao, don't pull me, I'll get up by myself, I'll get up by myself."

Old Mrs. Li had doted on Li Jiaojiao for so many years that she couldn't find any words to blame her. She could only blame herself for being too harsh.

After Old Lady Li sat down again, Li Jiaojiao started asking Old Lady Li for money again, saying that her clothes were dirty and she needed five taels of silver to make new clothes.

But where did Old Mrs. Li have any money at the moment? Before Li Jian left, he swindled away the only dozen or so taels of silver left in the house.

"Jiaojiao, your clothes are not worth five taels of silver. I think you have been cheated. They are not worth even a hundred coins."

"I'll give you twenty cents, and you can go home and wash yourself properly."

"Mom, you have the nerve to say twenty cents? I don't want it." Li Jiaojiao said impatiently.

"Okay, okay, my darling, I'll give you another ten cents, no more." Old Mrs. Li said flatteringly with a purple face.

Seeing her mother like this, Li Jiaojiao guessed that something must have happened at home. It seemed that since she hadn't been home for a few months, something big had happened at home, otherwise why would her mother give her dozens of coins to get rid of her.

You have to know that in the past each time she had to start with a minimum of one or two taels of silver, not including food and drink, and this was also the basis for her to gain a foothold in her husband's family.

Even though she married into a town and her husband was a scholar, the living standard of her husband's family was not as good as her own.

In order to ensure that her husband had good food and clothing, she had already supplemented her dowry, and even the money and things she brought back from her parents' home were never spent on her.

The mother-in-law kept all the money and said it was for my husband's travel expenses for the exam. The food and drinks were also given to my husband separately by my mother-in-law.

This time she didn't come back for four months, mainly because she brought a lot of money and things last time, but after four months, there was no food at home.

The mother-in-law then sent her back to her parents' home. Another thing was that she heard about fried locusts, Xinghua Village, and twins from her neighbors.

After she asked the neighbors in detail, she found out that the twins were from her second brother's family.

Because as far as she knew, there was only one pair of twins in the entire Xinghua Village, and they were her second brother's two sons, Mingyu and Minghao.

But she couldn't quite believe it. Every time she returned home, she saw the skinny and small twins, either working or on their way to work.

She knew that it was not easy to make a living under her mother.

And because I am my mother's biological daughter, I am treated well at home. Otherwise, my elder sister Li Rong is an example.

Her mother promised her to Wang Meng, a butcher in Meihua Village, and also received a high betrothal gift of ten taels of silver.

You should know that for a farmer to marry a wife, two taels of betrothal gift is already generous, and ten taels of betrothal gift can be used to marry five wives.

She heard from others that the reason Wang Meng offered such a high betrothal gift was because he had a violent tendency and his ex-wife was beaten to death by him.

Hearing this, she knew that her elder sister would definitely not have a good life if she married him.

Although she also sympathized with her elder sister Li Rong, she knew that the ten taels of betrothal gift would fall into her hands. Thinking of this, she suddenly no longer felt guilty towards her elder sister.

By marrying Wang Meng, she could earn ten taels of silver for herself and help her gain a foothold in her husband's family. This shows that the elder sister truly loves the younger sister!
