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

Before the sun set, the twins came back, each carrying a basket of pig feed.

Minghao saw his sister cleaning the snails, and immediately thought of the spicy snails his sister had mentioned before. He quickly put down the backpack and shouted as he ran, "Sister, don't move, put it down and let me do it."

After hearing what her brother said, Li Mengyue shook off the water on her hands and said, "Wash them clean."

"Don't worry, sister."

The other members of the Li family were not impressed to see that Li Mengyue was willing to spend time and effort to tinker with these insignificant little things in the river.

Especially Old Lady Li, who felt that Li Mengyue, who had lived the life of a rich lady for 16 years, was nothing special. She treated something that even farmers would not eat as a treasure.

While Li Mengyue was cooking snails, someone outside the kitchen said something sarcastic: "Ah, it turns out that lowly people are only worthy of eating lowly things. I didn't expect that there are people who regard things that no one wants as treasures. It's really hilarious."

Li Mengyue hadn't cooked for a long time, and the pots in the Li family's kitchen were still cooked on a clay stove. She had used advanced kitchen appliances before, and she was not used to them yet. She was feeling annoyed when she heard Old Lady Li mumbling there, and her anger found a place to vent.

"If you don't want to eat, just get out." Li Mengyue said coldly.

Old Lady Li looked at Li Mengyue's cold eyes, shrank her head and whispered: "I won't leave, what can you do to me?"

That night, Li Mengyue ate the spicy snails she had been craving for. The natural snails had firm meat, and the unique spicy flavor of dogwood made it taste spicy and refreshing. It was truly a rare snack.

But when Old Lady Li saw that everyone in the second room was eating with such relish, she suddenly felt that the steamed corn bread she ate every day was tasteless, and she also wanted to try it.

However, before his chopsticks touched her, he retracted them because of Li Mengyue's cold eyes.

The second wife's family had Li Mengyue's protection, so she didn't dare to cause trouble openly. She didn't have so many scruples about the first wife's family. She yelled at Li Hai's two daughters, Li Rou and Li Qiao, "What are you going to eat if you lose money?"

After Mrs. Li finished speaking, the two girls sitting in the corner of the table, who were enjoying their meal, suddenly stopped eating and almost buried their heads in their bowls in fear.

Seeing her mother-in-law getting angry, Wang also stammered and dared not pick up her chopsticks.

Only Li Hai was concentrating on eating and didn't notice anything wrong.

In fact, when Li Mengyue first came to the Li family, she had already discovered the two little girls. They were brought up to be timid and would get up before dawn to work with their mother, Wang.

Working from morning till night, he only had a bowl of porridge that was so big that you could see your reflection in it, and only ate a steamed bread the size of a fist a day, and was as thin as a bamboo pole. Sometimes when Li Mengyue saw the two of them, she felt like the wind would blow them away.

Uncle Li Hai is a very honest man. In addition, he has two daughters, so he is not favored by old man Li. Now he doesn't even care about his eldest son.

What’s speechless is that Li Hai usually works hard and doesn’t care about the lives of his wife and two daughters at all.

No matter what, it is the eldest wife's business. Not to mention that it is inconvenient for Li Mengyue to intervene as a niece. Even if it is possible, everyone has their own destiny and she doesn't want to interfere.

Although Old Lady Li was a little disappointed with the meal, overall, Li Mengyue enjoyed the meal very much, and even the system ate a lot.

While eating, Li Mengyue focused her attention on the system, and saw the adorable little dumpling jumping for joy.

[Sigh, Sigh, so spicy.]

【Don’t eat spicy food. 】

[Awooo, host, no, I like it, it's delicious. We can eat it again in a few days, okay?]

If she didn't know what the system looked like, Li Mengyue would have rejected it directly and ruthlessly. But ever since she saw that the system looked so cute, she always felt a little soft-hearted unconsciously when facing the system.

[No, eating too much will make you get angry.] Li Mengyue refused sternly.

[No, I am the system, the host does not need to worry that I will get angry.] There was no way to refuse outright, so Li Mengyue could only turn a blind eye.

After Li came to terms with her situation, she no longer stopped her daughter from going up the mountain.

Li Mengyue sometimes goes to the mountains on a whim, and usually wanders around Xinghua Village whenever she has time. She leads a leisurely life every day.

Just half a month later, Li Mengyue came down from the mountain and saw a few more people at home.

One of them was a man in a long robe, sitting in a chair in a pretentious manner, with his legs crossed, holding a book in his hand, pretending to read.

The moment Li Mengyue stepped into the yard, the man's eyes were not honest at all, and he looked at Li Mengyue intentionally or unintentionally.

He thought he was being very covert, but he didn't know that even though Li Mengyue had changed her body, her senses were still very sharp. She noticed it the first time the man looked at her.

Without figuring out the other party's identity or knowing what the other party's purpose was, Li Mengyue remained calm. As usual, she handed the backpack to Li, told her what dishes she wanted to eat, and went back to her room to rest.

Old Lady Li stood by, holding a cup of water to ask if he was thirsty or wanted some water. She fanned him with a fan, and after a few strokes she asked, "Son, is the force of mother's fanning enough? Are you still hot?"

The man saw Li Mengyue enter the room, reluctantly withdrew his gaze, touched his chin with his hand, and his eyes as big as green beans rolled around. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was thinking of some bad idea.

He was immersed in his own thoughts, and Old Lady Li kept talking in his ear.

He closed the book and said impatiently, "Mom, I finally came back, can you please let me have some peace and quiet? Besides, reading requires quiet time, and I can't concentrate if you keep asking me questions. Forget it, I'll go back to my room to study."

When Mrs. Li heard her son's complaint, she didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's my fault. I'll leave right away. I'll leave right away."

The man ignored Mrs. Li. After seeing Li Mengyue, he touched his chin and smirked, not knowing what he was thinking about.

After Old Lady Li walked away from her son, she saw Li and shouted, "Third son, come back. Make more meat dishes today and steam an egg for my precious grandson and granddaughter."

Li saw her mother-in-law's face darken, and before she could object, she habitually agreed, "Yes."

After all, ever since she entered the Li family, she would give Li Jian any delicious food at home first.

If Li Jian doesn't like to eat it, it will fall into the mouths of Old Man Li and Old Lady Li.

In addition, because Li Jian was studying, most of the family's money was spent on Li Jian. The biggest role of the first and second wives was to earn money to support Li Jian's studies.

My mother-in-law often said that when the third son passed the imperial examination and became a high-ranking official, you can just wait and enjoy the good life.

The father-in-law also conceded that the third son would pass the exam, and felt that the efforts of the eldest brother and husband were justified. After all, the third son became an official, and as the older brothers, they would definitely benefit from it.

Their efforts now are equivalent to an advance investment. With the third child’s qualifications, it is only a matter of time before he passes the exam.

The two families had no idea when the third child would pass the exam, but it was true that they had never had a good day since the third child went to study in a private school.

For a family like theirs, it was very difficult to support one person's education. Not to mention the annual tuition fee, the cost of pens, ink, paper and inkstone was also a huge expense.

Their family can afford to send the third child to school. My husband said that in the first seven or eight years, money was not that tight.

But as the third son spent more and more years in school, the books he bought became more and more expensive, and the family's money was spent completely. Eighty acres of the one hundred acres of land were sold, and all the harvest from the land was also sold to pay the third son's tuition and buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

But even so, the third child is already 30 years old and has not passed the exam yet. No one knows when he will be able to pass it.
