Li Mengyue did not answer County Magistrate Yang's question, but walked towards the door because she heard the chattering of children.

It seems that he is full.

As soon as I walked through the door, I saw Minghao jumping around. Mingyu and Mingxuan were walking quietly, with a group of children behind them.

In addition to those who came back with her from the town, there were also children from the village who usually played with the twins, including Zebao, Goudan, Tiechui, Beibei, and Nannan.

Minghao saw Li Mengyue from a distance, called her sister happily, and ran to her side.

"Sister, the barbecue is so delicious."

"Well, I'll make it for you when I have time."

"Really? Sister is so nice. I like you so much."

While Li Mengyue and Minghao were having a heartwarming interaction, County Magistrate Yang also followed to the door. He was relieved to see the abducted children from other counties. Apart from their dirty clothes, they were in good spirits and did not seem to be frightened.

"Miss Li, thank you for your hospitality. I will take the children back to the county government office."

After County Magistrate Yang finished speaking, the boy named Mingxuan shook violently. Then, while no one was paying attention, he secretly walked to Li Mengyue and tightly grasped the corner of Li Mengyue's clothes.

Li Mengyue glanced at Mingxuan and gave him a reassuring look, and Mingxuan then behaved quietly and naturally.

Li Mengyue knew that when County Magistrate Yang came this time, he would take the children to the county government office and send someone to send the children home.

This saved her a lot of trouble, so she had no reason to refuse, so she agreed directly: "Okay!"

"Children, this is County Magistrate Yang. He is here to take you to the county government office and then send someone to take you home."

"Sister Yue, I want to bring the capture net."

After the richly dressed boy said this, the other children also rushed to say they wanted to catch the net.

Li Mengyue then realized that she had promised to give each child a fishing net, but she didn't know if Uncle Yang had made the fishing net. If not, she would have to urge him to do it.

"My sister has asked someone to do it, but I don't know if it's done well."

Li Mengyue looked at County Magistrate Yang and asked softly, "Can you wait a while before leaving? I'll go check the capture net."

"can."

In fact, Yang Zhijin was also very curious about why the children needed the fishing net and what it was used for.

Therefore, when Li Mengyue asked him to take the children away later, he agreed without thinking.

However, just a few steps out of the house, Li Mengyue saw a man in the distance holding a catching net in his hand, walking towards their home.

Thinking about how Uncle Yang asked his son to send it over, I guess the person coming is Carpenter Yang’s son Yang Qiang.

So Li Mengyue stopped, and after a while, Yang Qiang arrived at Li's house.

"Sister Mengyue, you are the sister Mengyue who is thinking of collecting locusts!"

"Yes, Brother Yang Qiang."

"Sister Mengyue, these are the 20 capture nets my father made. He asked me to bring them to you."

"It's not 15, it's 5 more."

"Sister Mengyue, you don't know, my father asked me to go back and help make the capture nets, which can make more money than catching locusts in the fields. I made these five to thank you for giving my family such a good idea."

"You're welcome. If you don't have the ability to make it, no matter how good the design is, it will be useless."

When Yang Qiang heard this, he touched his head embarrassedly and chuckled a few times.

Originally he planned to stop learning carpentry and go to town to find a job, but he didn't expect that things would take a turn for the better and the skills he learned would come in handy one day.

On the way home, he saw many villagers walking towards his house. Only then did he realize that the catching net made by his father at home could quickly catch locusts, so many villagers went to his house to buy it.

Although it only costs two cents each, catching locusts saves a lot of time and energy in a day, and it is not very tiring, so it is still very cost-effective overall.

Under the guidance of his father, he quickly learned how to make a capture net. He also learned from his father that Li Mengyue needed 15 capture nets, so he and his father worked together to make 20 in the shortest time possible.

His father was afraid of delaying Li Mengyue's business, so he asked him to send it over quickly, and he happened to arrive in time.

Li Mengyue took 20 capture nets from Yang Qiang and handed him the 40 cents she had prepared.

But Yang Qiang waved his hands again and again, and said excitedly: "Sister Mengyue, what are you doing? If I take your money, I will definitely be beaten by my father when I get home. Please give me some face and don't give me the money."

Li Mengyue saw that Yang Qiang really didn't want his money, so she didn't force him. After all, her design was worth more than 40 cents.

After Yang Qiang handed the catching net to Li Mengyue, he suggested that he wanted to go home quickly to help make the catching net, after all, it only cost two cents each.

After Yang Qiang left, Li Mengyue distributed the catching nets to the children, and even the few children from the village who followed her received one each.

Seeing the innocent smiles on the children's faces when they got the catching nets, Li Mengyue also smiled knowingly.

Yang Zhijin, who was standing nearby, was distracted by Li Mengyue's smile, but shook her head the next moment and looked at the catching nets in the children's hands.

I wanted to ask about the capture net, but it was getting late and I had to hurry back to the county government office, otherwise I would have to stay in the village overnight.

Yang Zhijin signaled to Yang Run, and Yang Run immediately understood what his master meant. He drove the carriage over and carried the children onto the carriage one by one.

Yang Zhijin and Li Mengyue said goodbye and turned to get on the carriage.

Yang Run sat on the shaft of the cart and drove towards the county.

After Yang Zhijin left, Li Mengyue took her three younger brothers to feed the ducklings.

That’s right, there are three younger brothers. In addition to the twins Mingyu and Minghao, Mingxuan also stayed.

Because Mingxuan, Mingyu and Minghao look so much alike, it is no exaggeration to say that they are brothers.

Therefore, when Li Mengyue told Yang Zhijin that Mingxuan was also his younger brother, Yang Zhijin did not have any doubts at all, but just felt that Li Mengyue's return from the capital might not be a bad thing.

Although life in the village was very poor, she had parents who loved her and three lovely younger brothers, unlike him who had a biological father but the two of them were like strangers and were even worse than ordinary people.

If it weren't for the love of his grandparents, he probably wouldn't have known what family love is.

He respected his grandfather very much. As for the so-called father in the Marquis's Mansion, he could only do something for the sake of face, nothing more.

While Li Mengyue and her three younger brothers were happily feeding the ducklings, Ma Wei had already driven the ox cart back to Lianhua Village.

In the past, Ma Wei always went home as soon as possible, but today, when he was almost home, not only did he ignore his grandson's call, but he drove the carriage even faster.

"Good buddy, let's hurry up." Ma Wei said to the old ox.
