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

Some people think that the village chief is a little confused and shouldn't entrust such an important and dangerous matter to Li Mengyue. If something happens to her and the Li family no longer collects locusts, what should they do?

Some people also believe that Li Mengyue never came back empty-handed when she went hunting in the mountains before, and it was purely because of good luck. This time, she went to the deep mountains to find water, not just hunting outside.

Needless to say, everyone knows how dangerous the mountains are. In addition to ferocious beasts that can bite people to death, there are also many unknown poisonous plants that can easily kill you.

Therefore, on weekdays, the hunters in the village only dared to hunt small prey on the outskirts by luck, and the women and children would only pick some wild vegetables and dried mushrooms and take them to the town to sell.

More and more people gathered at the gate of Li's house, and there were two different opinions on whether to let Li Mengyue take people up the mountain.

As the sun left the horizon and rose higher and higher, the sleeping earth woke up, but the Li family had not yet come up with a set of rules.

When the village chief saw everyone like this, his expression was very dull and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

He originally thought that although the villagers had not had a good life for a few days under his leadership, they would unconditionally agree with every decision he made and no one would object.

So much so that before this morning, he had never thought that someone would disagree with the decision he had made.

Those who had objections saw that the village chief remained silent and their voices gradually became smaller. Some even looked at the village chief's face cautiously, and did not realize that the village chief was too angry. Then they breathed a sigh of relief and secretly felt that they were too rash. Why should they interfere in the village chief's decision? What if they were put on the blacklist by the village chief?

Obviously, the villager was overthinking it. The village chief was not angry, but rather happy.

He took over the position of village chief at the age of 30. He was very ambitious at the beginning and believed that with the joint efforts of him and the villagers, the people of Xinghua Village would live a good life, no longer be bullied by others, and it would not be so difficult for young people to get married.

What disappointed him was that no matter how he tried, no matter how he encouraged and mobilized people, he could not find a way to feed everyone. The village was dead and lifeless all year round, without a trace of vitality.

Whenever something happened in the village, as long as he made a decision, everyone would silently implement it and support it. This was also the reason why, when his own family could barely fill their stomachs, he would take out some of the food to help the poorer people in the village.

Now, ever since the Li family started collecting locusts, the village has been boiling as if someone had suddenly thrown something into the cold oil.

Every day, someone gets up before dawn and goes home very late at night. Adults and children alike are full of energy. Even if they bend their waists countless times every day and their waists are sore, as long as they see locusts, they will take action immediately, put the locusts in their pockets, and take them to the Li family to sell for money.

Because of Li Mengyue, there were more smiles on the faces of the young and old in the village than in all the previous years combined.

Whenever he saw this situation, he felt very relieved.

He is truly worthy of being the noble person that his ancestor told him about in his dream. Ever since Li Mengyue appeared in the village, everyone's life has been getting better and better.

While the villagers were debating whether to let Li Mengyue lead the team to find water in the mountains, Master Ma had already arrived with his team.

Li Mengyue saw Master Ma and said to the village chief: "Grandpa Village Chief, you guys chat first. I have something else to do at noon today, so I won't delay you."

The village chief blushed a little after hearing what Li Mengyue said, but at the moment he had to first resolve everyone’s prejudice against Li Mengyue, clear the obstacles for Li Mengyue to become the village chief, make everyone trust Li Mengyue more, and believe that she could lead everyone to a good life. This was what he had to do now.

"Yue girl, you go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about us." The village chief said seriously.

Seeing Li Mengyue go to pick up Master Ma, the village chief turned his attention to the person who had the most disagreement.

"I know what you are thinking. I have decided to let Yue lead us to find water in the mountains. Those who don't want to go, get out of here. But let me say this in advance. The water diversion is successful. Yesterday, we agreed that whoever doesn't go will not be watered. Anyway, even if we don't get a single grain of food from the fields, the money you saved from selling locusts during this period can buy food and last until next autumn harvest."

The village chief's words were very serious. The young man, who had originally disapproved, suddenly changed his expression and expressed his opinion immediately.

"Village Chief, you see when I will oppose your decision. I don't know about others, but I will definitely go."

"Go away, you're the only one who can talk. I don't know who was jumping around the most happily just now."

"Hey, didn't I just listen to Wang Lai's wife's nonsense?"

"Tsk, you're about to get married, but you still don't have your own opinion. Just listen to a woman's nonsense. Let's see if there's any girl willing to marry you after your reputation gets out."

Li Mengyue was passing by with Master Ma and happened to hear this conversation. She said nothing and went to the chosen place with Master Ma.

Anyway, it is impossible to go up the mountain today, so it is also nice to attend the groundbreaking ceremony at home. There is no water anyway, and she is not the one who is in a hurry.

When Village Chief Li saw that Li Mengyue didn't greet him, he thought to himself that something bad had happened and glared at the person who spoke. He was really a person who was always causing trouble but could not do anything helpful. He didn't even see that the Li family was busy, but he didn't go to help.

"Village Chief, why are you glaring at me? I didn't say anything wrong."

Seeing that people were still a little confused, the village chief was very tired. Forget it, it was all his fault. He was already old and shouldn't bother with young people.

So he raised his foot and walked towards Li Mengyue.

"Girl Yue, here, this is your share of the money." Village chief Li took out ten copper coins and handed them to Li Mengyue.

Li Mengyue looked at the copper coin and took it without hesitation. She then asked her three younger brothers to bring out tables, chairs, benches, paper and pens so that she could write down how much money each family gave, so that she could repay the favor when the other family built their house.

In fact, before yesterday, she didn't know that the villagers would have to pay a share of money when their family built a house. It was only after her mother told her three younger brothers to help at home and keep track of the share money.

Only then did she realize that building a house here was a big deal, on par with weddings and funerals.

Therefore, for such a happy event as building a house, people from the same village will more or less give some money, no matter how much, for the sake of joy.

The village chief paid his share of the money, and the other villagers also handed their money to Minghao. Mingyu and Mingxuan were responsible for keeping records.

Finally, it was noon and Li An lit the firecrackers. Li took out the food that had been prepared long ago and distributed it to the villagers who were watching the fun. The children each had a crispy candy in their hands. Many people were surprised by the generosity of the Li family.
