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

"My husband, my husband, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, I'm fine. I'm done eating. I'll clean up the dishes."

"My husband, I don't need you. I'll clean it up right away."

"Wan Niang, go and weed the fields. I don't have much to do at home, so I'm not tired. Leave the dishes to me."

Li An picked up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and walked towards the kitchen.

"Snapped!"

The moment the dishes and chopsticks fell to the ground, Li Ang quickly squatted down to pick them up.

"Husband, what happened? Why did you drop the bowl and chopsticks? Did you hurt your hands?"

"Wan Niang, I'm fine."

"Dad, please sit down first and don't worry about the dishes."

Li An always listens to his daughter. When Li Mengyue asked him not to worry about the dishes, Li An really let it go, took a few steps back and sat on the stool.

"Dad, you are worried about uncle and the others."

"No, your father just slipped and didn't hold it firmly."

Seeing that her father did not admit it, Li Mengyue did not say anything else and instead changed the subject.

"Dad, I have more than a thousand acres of land, all of which are planted with fruit trees and medicinal herbs, but this needs to be managed. Otherwise, weeds will grow after a while, which will affect the growth. In serious cases, the grass will grow taller than the medicinal herbs and it will become a wasteland."

"Daughter, I'm sorry. Daddy has been too busy lately and hasn't been able to take care of you. I'll go weed the fields later."

"Dad, that's not what I meant. I wanted to ask someone to manage it. This way, it would save us a lot of trouble and effort."

Li An felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. He felt that his daughter disliked him and even didn't let him take care of the land.

An expression of loss appeared on Li Ang's face for a moment, but Li Mengyue's next words made him smile.

"Dad, the rice in the field has been harvested and can only be used for spring ploughing next spring. I don't want you to stay idle at home."

"Yes, daughter, Daddy just doesn't want to be idle. You can let Daddy do any work you want."

"Don't worry, there will be times when you are too busy and want to take a break."

When Ang Lee heard this, he was not scared at all. Instead, he became very motivated.

He doesn't want to be a freeloader, he has to work hard to make money so that his wife and children can live a better life.

Even though he couldn't do it with his brain, he had a capable daughter, so he could rely on her.

Of course, he also has to work.

If his daughter doesn't let him do it, he will be worried.

"Daughter, who will manage the orchard and medicinal herb field?"

"Of course it's my uncle."

Li An was surprised and said, "What!"

"Dad, I've thought about it. Our orchard and medicinal herb garden are very important. I don't feel comfortable leaving them to outsiders. But it's different for my uncle. He's very knowledgeable about farm matters. It's perfect for me to let him help look after them."

"Daughter, you don't have to take care of your uncle just for my sake."

"Dad, what are you talking about? I have thought about it seriously. My uncle is very good at farming. Look at the fields in the old house. Under my uncle's care, the harvest is among the best in the village. Not to mention anything else, this year's rice is like this, and everyone in the village knows it."

Li An knew that his daughter was telling the truth. The adults and children in the village indeed all knew that the rice harvest in the old house was good.

The reason why everyone knows about it is because of Li Gui and Old Lady Li.

Before the locust plague came, Li Mengyue clearly asked the village chief to notify everyone that all the rice in the fields had to be harvested in advance.

But Li Gui and Old Lady Li felt that it would be a loss if they harvested the rice too early, and wanted to wait another ten days or half a month. As a result, when the locust plague came, Li Gui and Old Lady Li became anxious.

He was afraid that the rice in his field would be eaten by locusts, so he ran to the village chief's house crying and begging him to send someone to help him harvest the rice.

On the one hand, the village chief was angry that Li Gui refused to listen to advice and insisted on not accepting the money. He didn't want to care about it at all and let Li Gui and his wife learn a lesson.

But he couldn't bear to see the rice, which he had grown and carefully cared for for several months, being eaten by locusts when the harvest season was approaching.

They are a farming family and they rely on the fields and the rice from the fields for their food. Even if he is angry, he cannot go against food.

He immediately gathered the villagers and asked them to go to the Li family’s old house and help with the harvest.

Fortunately, most families in the village had harvested their rice, so many people went to the Li family’s old farm to help.

Even so, not all of the crops were harvested before the locust plague arrived.

Finally, a little was left and went into the locust's mouth.

He was there at the time and saw with his own eyes how the rice was completely eaten by locusts.

The most heartbreaking thing is that his stepmother, Old Lady Li, not only did not thank the villagers who helped harvest the rice, but instead resented the villagers for harvesting too slowly, causing so much of her family's rice to be eaten by locusts.

The villagers were so tired from harvesting their own rice that they just wanted to lie down in bed and take a nap.

As a result, they were called by the village chief to help collect grain from the Li family's old house. Although everyone said they were willing to not leave a single grain of rice in the fields, it was impossible for them not to have some complaints in their hearts.

It was really because Old Mrs. Li was a bad person and did not do things well in her daily life, which made many villagers have opinions about the Li family's old house, no, to be more precise, about Old Mrs. Li.

If the village chief hadn't spoken up, Li An would have had a good reputation in the village, and the villagers were counting on Li Mengyue to help them make money.

All the rice in the Li family's old house was eaten by locusts, but no one would even bother to take a look at it, let alone drag their tired bodies to help with the harvest.

This time, the villagers helped with the harvest, although they were not very willing to come, they still helped in the end.

However, every villager who helped exclaimed in surprise when they saw the heavy rice harvested from the fields of the Li family's old house.

Even my third uncle, who had been farming all his life, came to the fields with staggering steps when he heard the news.

Seeing the plump grains of rice, they praised Li Hai for taking good care of the fields, which allowed him to harvest so much food.

When the villagers saw Third Uncle praising Li Hai, they all came forward to ask for tips on farming.

There was no other way; they also wanted their own fields to grow so much food.

Li Hai was an honest man and would not hide anything. After he told them, everyone dispersed.

Seeing that his son, whom he had always ignored, had such ability, Li Gui's attitude towards Li Hai became much better.

When Old Lady Li saw Li Gui's attitude, she would think twice before trying to harass Li Hai's family again.

Because she knew very well that her own son Li Jian had lost money in gambling, had a bad reputation, was expelled from the college, and would never be able to study again.

Originally she dreamed of becoming an official's wife, but Li Jian destroyed her dream and swindled away the only money left in the family.

He couldn't rely on his biological son, and the second son, Li An, had split up the family, so only the eldest son, Li Hai, was around.

If Li Hai also resisted the division of the family because of her, how could she and Li Gui cultivate so much land alone?

Not to mention working in the fields every day, she couldn't even stand working there for one lunch.

In other words, over the past month, Li Hai's family's life has been a little better than before. Regardless of whether they can have enough to eat, at least they are not beaten and scolded by Grandma Li every day.
