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

Li Mengyue didn't know how active the village chief's inner thoughts were. She only knew that Lingzhi was willing to sell it to Manager Wang.

At that time, Manager Wang also told her clearly that the price would be higher if it was taken to the capital, but given her current situation, selling it was the best option, so she could not possibly ask Xie Yunzhou for the 10,000 taels of silver note.

What's more, the fact that Xie Yunzhou was able to find us so quickly shows that he is not an ordinary person.

After all, she lived in the village, and Xie Yunzhou looked like an outsider.

Qingshan Town is neither big nor small. The eight villages cover a considerable area, and the entire town has a population of over ten thousand.

In the future, if a person from another place wants to find someone in the village, it will not be so difficult.

But in ancient times when transportation was blocked and communications were underdeveloped, it was definitely not easy to find someone.

Xie Yunzhou knew that she lived in Xinghua Village, found her accurately, and asked the village chief to bring her to see her. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

Now she is finally living an ordinary life with loving parents, three lovely brothers, and babies in her belly. She doesn't want anyone to destroy this happiness.

Therefore, no matter what purpose Xie Yunzhou had in approaching her, she didn't want to have too much involvement with him.

After thinking this through, Li Mengyue's attitude towards Xie Yunzhou became very cold, and she wanted to leave without saying anything more.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

The village chief had not yet recovered from the shock of the 10,000 taels of silver when he suddenly heard Li Mengyue's words and hurriedly responded, "Ah, you want to leave, oh, good, good."

After he finished speaking, he realized that Li Mengyue said she was leaving, and then he quickly said, "Yue girl, if you have something to do, just go first. I won't delay you."

However, Village Chief Li still felt a little sorry for the ten thousand taels of silver. Even though the silver had nothing to do with him, he still hoped that Li Mengyue could accept it.

He knew that Li Mengyue was taken away by mistake when she was young, and then sent back when she grew up. Something must have happened in the meantime, and it must have been very unfavorable to Yue girl.

Since Li Mengyue saved Zebao from drowning, he took his whole family to thank her. The first time he saw Li Mengyue, he knew that the girl in front of him had lived in a wealthy family since she was a child.

The key point is that the wealthy families he thought of were not the rich people in the county, but the wealthy families he had never seen before.

Just like what was said in the opera, young ladies from powerful families have rules for their every move, and they are taught by their nannies since childhood. He saw that Li Mengyue was like that.

He didn’t know what Li Mengyue’s adoptive parents were thinking by letting such an outstanding person like Li Mengyue leave and return to the village.

One thing is very clear, Yue must have suffered a great injustice, otherwise a little girl would not have her reputation ruined for no reason. Not to mention the surrounding villages, I'm afraid people in the county also know that there is a fake daughter who has lost her innocence in Qingshan Town.

In fact, he had thought about driving Li Mengyue away for the sake of the village's reputation.

But later, Li Mengyue saved her grandson, and her ancestor appeared in her dream and told her that Yue girl was a noble person in the village and could lead everyone out of poverty.

His greatest wish in life, besides having his children and grandchildren to become successful, was for all villagers to live a good life under his leadership, without people freezing to death in the winter and without people starving to death during the lean season.

Now that someone can achieve this goal, it doesn’t matter whether he did it personally or not. What he cares about is whether the villagers can have enough food to eat.

Li Mengyue gave him hope. Not only him, the village chief, but 99% of the people in the village did not want anything to happen to Li Mengyue.

However, Li Mengyue's previous identity was beyond the reach of these peasants. If someone did anything bad to Li Mengyue in the future, it would be difficult for them to protect Yue girl.

Now that someone is offering money to her door, if it were according to his idea, Yue Yatou should accept it. With this money in hand, she will feel more confident.

However, Li Mengyue's straightforward refusal made this grown man ashamed. He then felt that he was wrong and should apologize for his previous thoughts.

By thinking this, wasn't he admitting that he and the villagers were incapable of protecting Miss Yue?

There are more than 400 people in the village, young and old. How can they just watch Yue girl get into trouble? What's more, the other six villages have also received favors from Yue girl.

As long as something happened, he didn't believe that they would just hide away and not show up. If that was the case, he would just think that Yue girl was helping a group of ungrateful people.

After Li Mengyue left, Xie Yunzhou put away the banknotes, exchanged a few words with Village Chief Li, and prepared to take Xie Ming and Manager Wang back with him.

"Xie Ming, go back to town."

"Yes, Master."

Li Mengyue was also preparing to go to town and happened to meet Butler Qian on the way.

"Miss Li, are you going to town?"

"Well, Butler Qian has something to do."

"Oh, it's like this. Miss Li and my wife have already agreed to cooperate to make fried tofu and bean curd cakes. We bought 100,000 kilograms of soybeans and shipped them to the county."

After hearing what Butler Qian said, Li Mengyue suddenly remembered that this was indeed the case.

Some time ago, she cured Master Qian's illness and chatted with Madam Qian, who mentioned fried tofu and bean curd cakes, saying that she wanted to sell these two kinds of food in her own restaurant.

To be honest, she was not surprised that tofu caught Mrs. Qian's eye and was considered a new dish in the restaurant.

The truth is, in this dynasty, no one could make tofu.

You have to know that the villagers don’t even know soybeans, let alone tofu, and she didn’t find tofu as a food in the original owner’s memory.

This unintentional act of hers probably set a precedent in history, allowing people throughout the Zhou Dynasty to take advantage of her in advance.

The key is that tofu is not only nutritious and delicious, but can also be made into a variety of delicacies. It is a food suitable for all ages.

From the moment she made tofu, she was very clear about its commercial value. If she was determined, she could make a fortune just by eating tofu.

However, she had no intention of running the tofu business herself. She could only find a partner, invest in the technology, and then share the profits.

The advantage of doing this is that she only needs to tell her partners how to make tofu and sign a contract, and she will receive money every quarter, saving her time and effort.

Of course, this has its pros and cons. If the partner she finds is dishonest and dumps her after getting the tofu recipe, she will lose both the wife and the army without getting any benefit at all.

It now seems that there is no problem in cooperating with Mrs. Qian. After all, no matter how cheap soybeans are, 100,000 kilograms is not a small amount.

The key is that money is a small problem. For the wealthy Qian family, it is probably not even a drop in the bucket.

The difficulty lies in transporting it from the north to Wuning County. As far as she knows, Wuning County is already located in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only adjacent to the south.
