After dealing with Wang Lai and Liu, the village chief arranged for people to repair the waterwheel, cut bamboo, and replace the damaged ones to avoid delaying everyone's watering.

Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, Li Mengyue walked home.

When I got home, the village chief's wife and five other women were already working.

However, a few people who usually worked diligently seemed to be in a somewhat abnormal state and looked into the house from time to time.

Since the schoolbags ordered by the college were made, her mother, in addition to cooking and doing housework, also keeps accounts and pays the locust sellers.

Usually at this time, her mother was doing housework.

Li Mengyue didn't see her mother in the yard, and she felt confused because everyone seemed absent-minded.

"Grandma, where is my mother?"

"Mengyue, your mother is entertaining guests."

"Oh, I'll go take a look."

Li Mengyue was very curious about who had come to her house. She walked into the living room and saw a man in red clothes.

No need to guess, Li Mengyue knew who the visitor was.

"Prince Ji, when did you and my Yueyue meet?"

Mrs. Li warmly entertained Ji Jingyi. Normally, when a male guest came to the house, it should be Li An who came forward to greet him.

But her husband had told her in the morning that he would take people to the town to get bricks and tiles at noon and would not be back until the afternoon.

Li had to sit in the house to entertain guests. The young man who came to her house today was indeed handsome, with a tall and slender figure. He looked very elegant. His every move showed that he was well-educated and had an extraordinary temperament.

Not to mention Liu, everyone knows that the young master has an extraordinary background.

But such a noble man came to her house and said he was her daughter's friend.

She felt extremely guilty towards her daughter. From the time her daughter was born to the time she was sixteen years old, she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. She also had no idea what kind of life her daughter had lived or what kind of friends she had made.

Since she came back from her daughter, she wanted to ask these questions.

But she knew very well that something bad must have happened to her daughter, otherwise she would not be pregnant.

For any woman, encountering that kind of thing would be a fatal blow.

Unable to bear the rumors and gossips from others, he chose to end his life in an extreme way.

When the news spread throughout the surrounding villages that Yue and the beggar had secretly gotten married, she became extremely worried about her daughter and couldn't sleep every night.

Even though her husband told her that her daughter had a strong character and was not an ordinary girl, she still couldn't help but worry.

Until one day, Yueyue told her that she was pregnant. She was shocked and very afraid that her daughter would do something stupid.

But when she saw her daughter stroking her belly, a smile subconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her whole body radiated maternal glow and she was looking forward to meeting the baby.

Only then did she feel relieved and happily made chicken soup and nutritious meals for her daughter.

When she no longer had to worry about her daughter being upset, she had another thing on her mind.

My daughter's belly is still small, but her lower abdomen is slightly bulging, and she has an obvious pregnant belly.

Fortunately, my daughter has always liked to wear loose clothes, which can easily cover her pregnant belly so that no one can see it.

But in two or three months, no matter what kind of clothes she wears, the villagers will know that her daughter is pregnant.

She really didn't know how her daughter would face the villagers' strange looks at her then.

No matter how strong my daughter's psychological endurance is, she will be more or less affected by the pointing and criticizing of others.

Fortunately, in the two months since my daughter came back, she has brought about significant changes in the village, and the villagers are very friendly to her.

Even so, she still hopes that her daughter will have a man who understands her and loves her.

Before today, she was still full of wild ideas.

However, Master Ji's visit to her house today gave her hope, but she was also extremely conflicted.

Look at the expression that subconsciously appeared on Master Ji's face when he mentioned his daughter.

As an experienced person, Li could see that this young man named Ji Jingyi was fond of her daughter.

If her daughter had not been pregnant, and there was such an outstanding young man who loved Yueyue, she would not have stopped him.

But Yueyue has a baby now, and she doesn’t know who the child’s biological father is.

Even if she wanted to find a good husband for her daughter, she couldn't hide it from Ji Jingyi and let him become a father.

Ji Jingyi, who was sitting on the chair next to him, did not ignore Li's look at him. There was a look of satisfaction but also of criticism, as if he had something to say but was unable to speak out.

"Aunt, Mengyue and I have known each other for a long time. She saved my life, and I have always wanted to repay her, but I just haven't found the opportunity."

When she heard that her daughter was Mr. Ji's savior, somehow, the words "I can never repay you for saving my life, so I can only repay you with my life" suddenly popped up in Li's mind.

And this sentence kept repeating in his mind, so much so that he didn't even notice Li Mengyue walking into the room.

When Li Mengyue entered the room, she immediately saw Ji Jingyi, a flamboyant man wearing red clothes and holding a folding fan.

Ignoring Ji Jingyi's advances, Li Mengyue saw that her mother looked dazed and a little worried, so she walked over quickly.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

In Li's mind, a love drama of saving a life and promising oneself was playing out.

The girl accidentally saved the man, and the man fell in love with the girl. After going through countless hardships, they finally got together and lived a happy life.

Just as she changed the girl to Yueyue and the man to Ji Jingyi, she suddenly heard her daughter's voice.

He came back to his senses with a start. Seeing his daughter standing in front of him with a worried look on her face, he felt warm inside and said softly, "Yueyue, you're back. Have you found out about the waterwheel and bamboo pipe?"

"Mom, I've found someone."

"Just find it, just find it."

After saying this, Li remembered that there was another person in the room and said to Li Mengyue.

"Yueyue, this young master Ji said he is your friend. See what she wants to talk to you about. You two can chat here slowly. I will go prepare the food and ask young master Ji to stay for a simple meal."

"Mom, Master Ji has something else to do, so I'm afraid he can't stay for dinner."

"Ah! This..."

Li wanted to say something and looked at Ji Jingyi again.

"Aunt, I'm fine. Please make more food for two people."

"Oh, what's the trouble? It's just a matter of adding two more bowls of water and two more pairs of chopsticks."

Then Li turned and walked towards the kitchen, without seeing Li Mengyue reaching out to call her.

"mother……"

Seeing her mother walking briskly with a smile on her face, Li Mengyue swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Forget it, it’s just a meal. Given their family’s current financial situation, they can afford it.

Tsk, the key point is that this is not about one meal.

Li Mengyue was unhappy. She looked at Ji Jingyi who came over without asking, and asked coldly, "Tell me what you want to do at my house. Don't say you saved my life or something like that."

"I saved you out of my own accord. I'm not asking you to repay me or ask for any favors. You don't have to take it to heart."

If the system hadn't fallen into a deep sleep, it would have pouted in Li Mengyue's face after hearing these words, which sounded better than singing.

It's not that he doesn't want to benefit from it. He obviously went there to save people and collect gratitude points.

After saving someone, the gratitude points did not arrive immediately, and I even regretted saving the person.
