Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her
Chapter 43 Family separation
When Li Mengyue heard the system say that someone wanted to harm her, she stood there waiting for the system.
It wasn't too surprising to hear that someone was plotting to kill her.
Because she knew very well that Yun Ran didn't want her to live a good life. After all, he sent people to ruin her reputation before she returned to Xinghua Village.
In fact, she has been living in the village for some time. Although she has not had much contact with the villagers, she knows that every time she goes out to the mountains, there are always people pointing fingers at her behind her back.
"She was so shameless at such a young age that she ran off with a beggar. If she could come back to recognize her relatives, it must be that even the beggar wouldn't want her."
"As for a woman like her who has lost her virginity through unmatched adultery, no decent family would marry her."
"Some people even advised my parents to sever ties with her and drive her out of Xinghua Village."
The woman who talked the most and jumped the loudest was Li Cuihua, who loved gossip and liked to get involved in everything.
The reason why her reputation is so bad in Xinghua Village that the villagers who meet her on the road like to avoid her has a lot to do with Li Cuihua.
Li Mengyue knew all about these things, but she was too lazy to pay attention to them. No matter what they said, it would not affect her life. She just ate and drank as usual every day.
[Host, it's not the villagers who want to harm you, it's the thugs from the gambling house who want money. ]
[Gambling house, what's going on? ]
Afterwards, the system told Li Mengyue everything the gambling house thugs said, word for word.
Li Mengyue remained silent for a long time after hearing this, because during the time she lived in the Li family, she had heard countless times from Old Lady Li that Li Jian was good at studying, would become the top scholar, and become a high-ranking official in the future.
The second branch of their family was unwilling to sell the twins in order to collect money for Li Jian's education. When Li Jian became an official and became rich in the future, the second branch would not be able to take advantage of him even a penny.
Every time Li Mengyue heard Old Lady Li say this, she sneered.
Although she had never seen the Li Jian mentioned by Old Lady Li, she knew that after studying for more than 20 years, he was still a student and could not even pass the examination to become a scholar. He must not have much talent for studying.
I don’t know where Old Man Li and Old Lady Li got the confidence to believe that Li Jian would be the top scorer.
Whenever Old Lady Li came out of the second room's door and boasted about how good Li Jian was at studying, the teacher would praise her again.
As long as the family can collect 50 taels of silver, and wait for Li Jian to pass the exam, no one will forget who paid how much.
Every time this happened, Li Mengyue would come out of the room and cough lightly.
When Mrs. Li heard the cough, she acted like a cat seeing a mouse. She walked away dejectedly without saying a word.
This time, I heard from the system that Li Jian was expelled from the college for plagiarism, which not only cut off his path to the imperial examination, but also destroyed the hopes of old man and old lady Li.
The whole family lived frugally and tightened their belts to pay Li Jian's tuition. However, Li Jian cheated behind his back and was not only expelled from the college, but also went to the casino, borrowed money from loan sharks, and owed the gambling house one hundred taels of silver.
I wonder what expressions Old Man Li and Old Lady Li would have when they heard the news.
But now is not the time to think about these things. It will take another hour for the gambling house thugs to reach Xinghua Village.
She had to rush back before the thugs arrived. Since Old Lady Li and Li Jian dared to plot against her this time, they would have to pay the price. However, it was unknown whether they could afford the price.
Thinking of this, Li Mengyue quickened her pace.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Mengyue was standing at the intersection of Xinghua Village and was walking home when someone called her.
He stopped and saw the village head's wife, Grandma Li, jogging and waving her hands, telling her not to leave.
Although Li Mengyue was anxious to go home, she was not in a hurry for the moment. Soon, Grandma Li ran up to her, bent down, supported her legs, and gasped.
"Yue... Yue girl, why are you here? Your parents are going crazy looking for you. Yesterday morning, your mother found that you were not at home and thought you went up the mountain. As a result, you still didn't come back until it was almost dark."
"We searched all over the village, asking every household if they had seen you. We searched until late at night, but couldn't find you. Your Grandpa Li also asked some people in the village to look for you outside the mountains, but couldn't find you either."
"There's a commotion in your family right now. I heard they're going to split up the family. Go back quickly and don't let your parents do anything stupid."
"After all, our parents are still alive, so we won't split up the family. Old Man Li and Old Lady Li are both here. Not only will we not gain anything by splitting up the family, but it will also bring bad reputation. And there's your father's leg and your mother's illness. What will we eat and drink if we split up the family?"
"Listen to Grandma Li and persuade your parents not to divide the family so easily."
Li Mengyue knew that Grandma Li’s words did not have any ill intentions and were even meant for the good of their family.
After all, in her opinion, dividing the family is a very big deal, not to mention their family, whose parents are in poor health and the twins are still young. For her, a girl with a damaged reputation, it would be good enough for her to be able to get married.
There is also the eldest brother, who went out to look for Yun Ran two years ago and never came back. No one knows where he is or whether he is dead or alive.
For a family with little income, dividing up the family would be tantamount to seeking their own death, in Grandma Li's opinion.
During the time she had been in the village, she knew that every household in the village was not living well. Not to mention having enough food, they were satisfied if they could eat half full every day.
In fact, she had wanted to separate the family for a long time. Living in the Li family's courtyard, she not only had to deal with Old Lady Li finding fault from time to time, but also had to watch Old Man Li brainwashing her parents to make them willingly sell the twins to raise money for Li Jian to study abroad.
In addition, we have to see that Old Lady Li is increasingly exploiting my uncle Li Hai's family. In the past, her parents supported them, and my uncle and aunt still had time to rest. Now, every day you can hear Old Lady Li scolding Wang, Li Rou and Li Qiao.
She still remembered that a big part of the reason why she chose to come to Xinghua Village was because she wanted to live comfortably here in her old age, not because she wanted to live with bad people.
Therefore, she wanted to return before the gambling house thugs arrived, just to take advantage of her disappearance, her parents' anxiety, and the quarrel at home to separate from the family.
However, she also knew that Grandma Li's advice not to split the family was well-intentioned, as she was worried that they would not be able to survive if they left the Li family.
Little did she know that there was a lot of money in her space. Not to mention the precious herbs she picked in the mountains, which could be exchanged for silver, even the several hundred taels of silver she had saved before could allow her family to live a good life.
This time, she got five boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the Huang Mansion. If she wanted, she could let her family live a rich life wearing gold and silver at any time.
Besides, she can also go hunting in the mountains. With her own abilities and the assistance of the system, she can be like a fish in water even in the deep mountains. She can easily hunt large beasts and bring them to the county town to exchange for silver.
Grandma Li didn't know all this, but Li Mengyue didn't say it out loud. Instead, she thanked Grandma Li and quickly went home.
Grandma Li saw that Li Mengyue was walking very fast and wanted to pull her over to give her some more instructions, but she couldn't even see Li Mengyue.
Li Mengyue had just walked to the door of the Li family and saw the situation in the yard, which made her eyes bloodshot.
