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

When Old Lady Li saw Li Mengyue, she was so scared that she collapsed to the ground, as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight. She was worried about having to return the fifty taels of silver.

However, when Li An heard Li's proposal to split the family, he agreed without hesitation. He didn't care about Li Mengyue, and got up from the ground again, pointing at Li and cursing: "Bitch, you dare to instigate the second brother to split the family, do you believe that I will let the second brother divorce you?"

When Li heard her husband say in person that he agreed to divide the family, she felt relieved.

Since their family will no longer be living under the mother-in-law's control in the future, there is no need to be polite, and she retorted: "Okay, you should ask your husband to divorce me."

Seeing that Li was always so submissive and didn't even dare to speak loudly, Mrs. Li was so angry that she fell backwards and then shouted at the top of her voice: "No, I don't agree."

But when Li An heard what she said, his expression became more determined than before.

As a stepmother, Mrs. Li couldn't just go up and hit Li Ang, so she sat on the ground and started to curse.

"God damn it! The daughter-in-law who contradicted her mother-in-law and instigated her son to split the family property will be punished by God."

"Ah! Why am I so miserable? I became a stepmother as soon as I got married. I raised Li An with all my heart and soul, and even found him a wife. Now I have to listen to my wife and divide the family property, ignoring my parents."

When it was time for dinner, every household had prepared their meals. People who were working in the fields came back, and because Old Mrs. Li was crying so loudly, the neighbors all came to the Li family with their bowls in hand to watch the fun.

It's true, the Li family has been quarreling every few days over trivial matters recently. After watching this, they now have something to talk about in their spare time and it's not so boring.

Soon, the Li family's yard and outside the gate were filled with villagers, most of them holding bowls. Even the two or three-year-old children, who usually had to be chased and fed by adults, were now fed and ate one bite at a time, and were very well-behaved.

Old Mrs. Li originally wanted to cry and make Li An compromise, but she didn't expect to attract so many people, which made her dumbfounded.

You have to know that she didn't want to divide the family at all. Even if Li An broke his leg and Mrs. Li was sick, she had no intention of dividing the family.

Not to mention that the old man disagrees. If the family is divided, she will no longer be able to control the second branch, and it will not be so easy to sell the twins.

Although the sale of Li Mengyue raised enough money for his son to study abroad and learn from a teacher, the money for his imperial examination next year has not yet been found.

The harvests in the past two years were not good and not much money was made from the sales. This year is expected to be even worse.

Even though she never works in the fields, she knows everything about them.

After all, before she married Li Gui, she was not liked by her parents at home. She had to do a lot of work in the fields and at home, knowing that if there was little rain, the crops would not have a good harvest.

It hasn't rained much this year.

Now is the critical period when rice is heading and needs water. If there is not enough water, a reduction in production is inevitable. It will be difficult to fill our stomachs, let alone sell the excess grain for money.

But no matter what, I can't delay my son's studies for the imperial examinations. Even if I don't have food to sell, I still have the twins.

Last time, the matchmaker offered a high price of forty taels, but the twins had been eating and sleeping well during the time that Li Mengyue had been back. She noticed that they had grown taller and had some flesh on their faces, no longer looking skin and bones.

The twins look so beautiful standing together.

In order to earn more money, she didn't dare let the twins do any heavy work these days, and only let them do some easy work such as cutting grass for pigs and collecting firewood.

The twins hadn't been sold yet, and the money hadn't been received yet, but Mrs. Li proposed to divide the family. How could she agree to that?

If the twins had been taken away by the matchmaker, she would have separated the second son and his wife even without Li's advice.

After all, he is a disabled person and a sickly person. He can't earn money and can't do any work. Why keep him at home?

Naturally, I can’t eat the rice for free, so I can only share it.

But before she could accomplish what she wanted, Li proposed to divide the family, and the second son agreed.

Although Li Mengyue had always wanted to split up the family, she also wanted to use the fact that she was sold to force her parents to split up.

Unexpectedly, before she even mentioned it, her parents had already decided to split the family.

Seeing the determination of her parents, Li Mengyue was worried that things would get out of control if Old Man Li came back.

However, since her parents wanted to divide the family, she would not let Old Man Li become a stumbling block, so she whispered something in Mingyu's ear.

Mingyu followed his sister's instructions, squeezed out of the crowd, and ran out the door.

Old Mrs. Li cried for a while, but she didn't know what to do as the second son didn't compromise.

Don't be fooled by the fact that she bosses people around at home every day and treats her daughter-in-law and grandchildren like servants.

That was because Li Hai was too honest and Li An was filial, so he didn't argue with her.

Besides, Mrs. Li is the elder, so she cannot ignore it. Otherwise, if a reputation of being unfilial gets out, it will affect her children’s marriage.

Now Li An thinks very clearly that his leg has not healed yet. If he continues like this, he doesn’t know when his son and daughter will disappear.

In order to avoid something like this that would drive him crazy, the family must be divided.

The villagers who were standing and watching the fun were all surprised when they heard that Li An wanted to divide the family property.

After all, in their eyes, the first and second branches of the Li family have become accustomed to being exploited and live for Li Jian's studies.

Now even honest people have begun to resist, which shows that Mrs. Li has gone too far.

At this time, a villager raised a question: "Hey, what evil things did Mrs. Li do to make Li An want to split the family property?"

"Who knows? It hasn't rained for several months, and the rice in the fields is so short of water that it's dying. Everyone is worried, so how can they have time to care about the Li family's affairs?"

"Yes! If it doesn't rain, we'll go hungry again this year."

As soon as the villager finished speaking, the people who were watching the fun all showed bitter expressions at the same time, which were extremely ugly.

There were only ignorant children playing and fighting around.

However, when the atmosphere was low, gossipy Li Cuihua pinched her throat and whispered: "I know why Li An wants to split up."

When everyone was immersed in the mood of decreased rice production in the fields, their ears immediately pricked up when they heard Li Cuihua's words.
