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

Otherwise, Li Rou and Li Qiao would not have run to the medicinal herb field to help pull weeds.

Because if it were in the past, he would definitely be locked up at home by Old Lady Li and would be ordered around, either beating or scolding him.

But even so, their family's life was only a little better in comparison. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as miserable.

Li An was very clear about this. He also wanted his eldest brother to split the family business, but he knew the possibility of this was almost zero.

I can only try to help as much as possible where I can.

He also saw his wife giving food to her two nieces, Li Rou and Li Qiao, on weekdays.

But such help can only solve temporary problems. If we want to improve the lives of my eldest brother's family, we still have to solve the problem from the root.

According to my daughter, she wants to leave the orchard and medicinal herb field to my eldest brother.

"Daughter, you really want to give the orchard and medicinal herb field to your uncle."

"Of course it's true. I've thought about it. The orchard and medicinal herb fields together cover more than a thousand acres. With so much land, it's impossible for my uncle to do it alone. I plan to let my uncle be the manager. In the future, whether it's spraying pesticides or weeding, I can pay the villagers to do it and pay them by the day."

"But we can also hire a few farmhands and let uncle lead the work. Uncle will get two taels of silver a month, and the farmhands will get fifteen coins a day, without meals. Dad, what do you think?"

"Daughter, fifteen cents a day for a farmhand is too much."

This was not said by Ang Lee, but was proposed by Li.

"Yes, daughter, I know you are capable and can make money. We can't stand out too much. Working in the town and the county only pays ten cents a day, which includes a meal. But we get five cents more here. In comparison, the conditions are too good. If everyone in the surrounding villages knew about it, we would be very popular and everyone would come to work for us."

After Li An finished speaking, Li continued, "So who should we use or not use?"

After listening to what her parents said, Li Mengyue was speechless for a moment. It turned out that the two of them were worried about the issue of employing people. She thought her parents wanted to save money for her.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry about these. The farmhands to take care of the orchard and the medicinal herb field will be selected from the village first. I will go to the village chief and ask him to help find forty people."

"But daughter, your uncle...can he do the job?"

"Dad, you have to believe in uncle. Uncle just didn't have the chance. I'll give him this chance this time. If he seizes it, not to mention getting rich, it won't be a problem for the whole family to have enough food and clothing."

"But your grandfather..."

"Dad, I know you're worried. You're worried that Uncle won't be able to keep the money. But you have to know that only when Uncle stands up and truly fulfills his responsibilities as my husband's father can his family's life change. Anyway, I've given him the chance. If Uncle is still the same as before, it means that Uncle is not worth helping. It's better to live his old miserable life."

"Husband, my daughter has no bad intentions. On the contrary, I think what she said is right. We can help big brother for a while, but not for a lifetime. Big brother and his wife still need to establish themselves. If we have a son in a few years, our lives will definitely get better and better."

Li An grabbed Li's hand and patted it.

"Wan Niang, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I will persuade my eldest brother."

"Ah."

Li Mengyue did not disturb the couple's tenderness, but left home and prepared to go to the village chief.

For a long time to come, not only him, but the entire Xinghua Village and even the other six villages will be busy, and there will not be much free time.

After all, in previous years, after the autumn harvest, there was not much work to do in the fields, and the strong laborers would go out to find work.

But it is not necessary this year. You know, building a reservoir cannot be completed overnight. What's more, in two months, the entire northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty will enter a small ice age.

Qingshan Prefecture was located in the middle of the Great Zhou Dynasty and just happened to be within the range of the Little Ice Age.

As far as she knew, even in previous years when winters were not that cold, many poor people would still freeze to death.

This year there is a mini ice age that occurs rarely in a century. If we don't take precautions in advance, countless people will not survive.

Although it was a chance for her to collect gratitude points, she didn't want to put ordinary people at risk.

But she couldn't control the weather. If she wanted more people to survive and give the refugees hope of survival, she had to take action, and she had to race against time and seize every opportunity.

[Yes, host. 】

"Hey, isn't this the girl from the Li family? What are you doing?"

"Auntie Hua, I have something to do with the village chief, so I'll leave first."

"Hey, okay, okay."

After Li Mengyue left, Aunt Hua was still watching.

Then Bei Bei's mother came over and saw that Aunt Hua had been looking at Li Mengyue. She asked in confusion, "Mrs. Hua, what are you looking at?"

"Mother Beibei, come here, come here."

Hua waved her hand, motioning Beibei's mother to come closer.

Seeing that Hua looked serious, Bei Bei's mother walked quickly to her side.

"What's wrong? Why are you being so secretive here?"

Hua didn't answer Bei Bei's mother, but looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she whispered to Bei Bei's mother, "Bei Bei's mother, do you think the girl from the Li family has changed?"

"No, she's still as beautiful as ever."

“Hey, who asked you this? It’s about figure. Haven’t you noticed that the Li family girl’s figure has changed?”

Bei Bei's mother shook her head and said, "No."

Seeing that Bei Bei's mother really didn't notice, Hua looked around and whispered something in Bei Bei's mother's ear.

After saying this, Bei Bei's mother exclaimed.

"Hua, it's fine that you like to gossip on weekdays, but don't you know how important Miss Yue is to our village? If it weren't for Miss Yue, your family would be crying somewhere. I think you are bored now, and you dare to gossip about Miss Yue here. If other people in the village knew about it, I think they would tear your mouth apart."

"Hey, Beibei's mother, why are you so angry at me? I didn't lie. If it's true or not, you can tell by looking at the Li family girl's belly. Why are you yelling at me? Humph."

After saying this, Hua turned around and left, no longer paying any attention to Bei Bei's mother who was angry.

Bei Bei's mother saw Hua walking further and further away, and she shouted, "Hua, I'm warning you, you should think carefully about what to say and what not to say."

"I know. I want you to keep talking."

Hua originally wanted to find someone to share what she had just seen, but she didn't expect to be scolded by Bei Bei's mother. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was not mistaken, and she prepared to find other people to talk about it.
