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

"Mom, how much braised meat do you have left from yesterday? I have something to do in town, so I'll bring some to my three younger brothers."

"Oh, you mean the braised pig offal and pork. There's still quite a bit left. I'll serve more and you can take it to Mingyu and the others."

Li hurriedly went to get the lunch boxes, thinking that her three sons were at the stage of growing up and could eat a lot at every meal.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of food at home now, so the sons can eat their fill. If it were in the past, it would have been good enough if they could eat half full at every meal, let alone get full.

Thinking of his two sons who had never had a full meal since childhood and whose bodies were seriously weak, Li's men moved faster and faster.

After a while, I filled a food box with braised meat, hoping that my sons would enjoy the meal and not be reluctant to eat too little.

Li Mengyue did not follow into the kitchen, but stood in the yard and chatted with six women.

No matter Aunt Li, Goudan's mother, Dazhu's mother, Li Yan's mother, Beibei's mother, or Li Lingling, they have been working for the Li family ever since Li Mengyue started the locust business.

Everyone is very grateful to Li Mengyue for giving them such an opportunity to make money and take care of the family. They all cherish such a good job.

Therefore, they work very hard and have no intention of being lazy.

Just kidding, ten cents a day, settled on the same day, who would be stupid enough to have any ulterior motives.

They even complained that the wages Li Mengyue paid were too high. If Li Mengyue had not forbade them, they would have wanted to continue working at night.

"Sister Lingling, are you used to working here?"

"Habit, thank you Mengyue, if it weren't for you, I don't know how to survive." Li Lingling had just come to the Li family to work, and was still a little restrained and inferior.

However, after so many days, although I am not very confident, I no longer have that desperate and depressed mood, and I feel positive and optimistic.

You should know that she was divorced by her husband's family and had no choice but to return to her parents' home with her three daughters.

Although her parents didn't say anything, her mother still tried her best to counsel her daughter, fearing that she would do something stupid.

But no matter what, a divorced daughter returning to her parents' home would make her parents lose face. Not only would they not be able to hold their heads up in front of the villagers, even her two sisters-in-law would have complaints about her parents.

Even since the first day she returned to her parents' home, she was mocked by her two sisters-in-law in words and deeds, saying that it was impossible for a woman to live on after being divorced. If it were them, they would have hanged themselves long ago.

The key point also implicitly pointed out that she had three burdens and ate up a lot of the family's food rations.

In fact, she brought her three daughters back to her parents' home and got up before dawn every day to work. The youngest daughter was too young, but the eldest daughter was only three years old, and the second daughter was two years old, and she also helped with the work.

The two sisters-in-law also gave the clean clothes to their two daughters to wash, but they were so young that there was no way they could wash adult clothes.

Before the clothes were washed clean, my sister-in-law started complaining, saying that the burden only knew how to eat and couldn't even do some housework.

But she was so busy working in the fields that she had no time to help her two daughters with the laundry.

After the two daughters finish washing clothes and doing housework, except for cooking, as long as there is work that needs to be done, the two sisters-in-law will order their daughters to do it without hesitation.

Although her mother felt distressed, she was divorced. She could have suppressed her sister-in-law before, but now it was useless.

No matter how much he felt sorry for his two granddaughters, he could only help them secretly or give them some food.

In fact, if she and her daughter were only asked to work, she wouldn't be too desperate, but her two sisters-in-law were too much.

In addition to verbally attacking himself and his daughter every day, his nephews and nieces also bully his daughter.

Especially the one-year-old daughter, who was often beaten and cried.

But now, since she came to work at the Li family, not only have the attitudes of her two sisters-in-law changed, but even her nephews and nieces have become good friends with the three daughters.

She knew the reasons for these changes, so she would work harder at home.

"Just get used to it. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me." Li Mengyue knew Li Lingling's situation, and she was willing to help a woman like her.

Besides, she was about to become a mother, and she couldn't bear to see Li Lingling's three daughters living such a miserable life.

After Li Mengyue and Li Lingling finished talking, Goudan's mother, Dazhu's mother, Li Yan's mother, and Beibei's mother also greeted Li Mengyue.

After they chatted for a while, Li came out with a lunch box.

"Aunties, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Okay, Mengyue, you go and do your work first, and leave the housework to us. We guarantee that we will do a great job." Beibei's mother replied with a smile.

"Well, I feel at ease with what you guys are doing."

After saying this, Li Mengyue took the lunch box and went to town.

Half an hour later, Li Mengyue arrived at the blacksmith shop in the town.

"Master, can you make this thing?"

Li Mengyue took a drawing and asked the master craftsman in the store.

After the old master finished reading it, he said without hesitation: "No problem, come and pick it up in two hours."

"Master, I don't want one, I want six, oh no, seven. How long will it take to have seven?"

The old master didn't expect Li Mengyue to want seven at once. After thinking for a while, he said, "If you want seven, you have to wait until tomorrow."

"Master, I need it urgently. I hope I can get it done today. I can give you more silver."

"If you insist on getting it done today, I can stop the order I have, and if you add two apprentices, you will have to pay an extra ounce of silver."

"No problem, as long as you play well today, I'll give you an extra two taels."

After hearing this, the old master picked up the drawing and went to the inner room to select materials.

It seems that the wheels needed for the pulley system have already been made by a craftsman. Just come and get them before dark.

Li Mengyue looked at the time, picked up the lunch box and walked towards Chongwen College.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, we arrived at the entrance of the academy.

I had been thinking of waiting a little longer, but just as I found a place to stand, I heard the school bell.

"Ding ding ding..."

Soon some students came out of the college gate, but after waiting for an incense stick, I still didn't see the three younger brothers come out to eat.

Li Mengyue knew that they must have eaten in the college cafeteria.

She knew the college cafeteria and had eaten there once. Although it was cheap, the taste was not good.

Therefore, she usually gave money to her younger brothers and let them eat outside the college on their own.

I don’t see them coming out to eat now. They must be eating in the cafeteria to save money.

Just when Li Mengyue was thinking about going to the college to find her three younger brothers, she heard someone calling her.

"Sister Li, why are you here?"

Turning around, Li Mengyue didn't expect that it was Chen Bao calling her.

You have to know that she had sent her three younger brothers to register, went to the bookstore to buy school supplies, and had an argument with Chen Bao, and they had a fight.

"Ah."
