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

When Li thought of Mingyu, she felt very distressed.

She noticed that during this period of time, since her daughter came back, her son was no longer as worried and frowned as before.

He is clearly a six-year-old child, but he has already shouldered burdens that do not belong to him.

Especially during the time when her husband broke his leg, her health was not good and she was bedridden, unable to get up.

Mingyu knew that his brother was not at home, and as the little man of the family, he had to take on the responsibility of taking care of his parents and his younger brother.

But he was only born a quarter of an hour earlier than Minghao. Although he was still so young, he was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

The key is that Mingyu still has to endure the oppression from the Li family’s old house, although his eldest brother’s family will help him secretly if they can.

But it's not easy for my brother and the others either, and the help they can provide is limited.

In fact, she knew her illness, and her husband's leg was the last straw that broke Mingyu's back.

A year ago, Mingyu was not like this. Although he was not as naughty as Minghao, he was also positive and always full of energy and optimism.

And Mingyu loves reading very much. Every time Li Jian comes back from town and reads a book in the yard, she can see a little spark of desire to read in Mingyu's eyes.

She remembered that after she told her husband about this, her husband went to find her father-in-law that night and told him that he wanted to send Mingyu to a private school.

As a result, her husband was beaten out of the room by her mother-in-law. Seeing her husband's frustrated expression, she naturally knew that her argument had failed.

And the next day, the mother-in-law pointed at Mingyu and cursed him.

She still clearly remembers the words her mother-in-law used to scold Mingyu.

"Xiao San, you are a peasant, you are only fit to dig for food in the fields all your life, and studying is out of your reach. Besides, a blockhead like you is not cut out for studying, you won't learn anything in a private school, it will just be a waste of money."

After saying that, he spat at Mingyu, then turned and left.

As he walked, he muttered: "It's really red rain from the sky. A peasant like me dares to think about studying. He's not afraid of falling to death while walking."

She watched helplessly as the hope in her son's eyes was shattered, and under the persuasion of her mother-in-law, her original temper had long been worn away, and she had no idea how to help her son.

The only thing I could do was wipe the sputum off my son's body.

She originally thought that this was the biggest blow to her son, but who would have thought that there would be an even more violent storm.

In the afternoon, Li Jian called his son to the yard and asked him in a very disdainful tone: "I heard that you want to study."

When the son heard the question, he suddenly raised his head.

She knew that her son had admired his uncle who was studying in town ever since he was old enough to understand.

Originally, the son thought that his uncle would understand him and plead with his grandparents to allow him to go to the academy.

As a result, Li Jian's next words completely plunged his son into the abyss, and have deeply affected his son until now.

Li Jian said slowly, "Mingyu, in my opinion, you are very dull and not suitable for studying. Listen to your uncle's advice and give up the idea of ​​studying as soon as possible. Help the family with work. When your uncle passes the exam, you can take advantage of it and marry a girl in town. You will never have to worry about food and drink in the future. It's much better than studying."

After Li Jian said this, his son became more and more silent and no longer as optimistic and cheerful as before.

She still remembered that her son told her and her husband that he wanted to study hard and become a scholar in the future, and asked her to become the mother of a scholar, which would be glorious and she would no longer have to get up early and go to bed late.

Unfortunately, she never heard her son talk about studying again, as if he had completely given up on studying.

Fortunately, God was kind to their second wife and sent their biological daughter back to them.

The key is that their daughter is so outstanding. She not only brings hope to their lives, but also slowly heals their son’s traumatized heart.

Li wanted her daughter to help her son, so she told her daughter every detail of the blow Mingyu had suffered.

Li Mengyue remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

Seeing her daughter's face darken and she seemed silent, Mrs. Li blamed herself for being too impulsive and shouldn't have told her daughter these things.

"Yueyue, it's because I'm incompetent. If you blame me for not protecting Mingyu, then I'm justified for not being able to let Mingyu go to school. It's my fault. I'm too cowardly to let you and your brother live a good life."

When Li Mengyue heard her mother's words and realized the unfair treatment Mingyu had received, she was very angry for a moment and did not care about her mother's emotions.

But after calming down, he realized that he had scared his mother.

"Mother, what are you talking about? How could I dislike you and think it's your fault? Mingyu's matter has nothing to do with you. It's just that the bad guy is too bad."

"But you don't have to worry about it now. When I went to the old house to get food, I ran into the gambling thugs who came to collect the debt."

When Li heard the thugs from the gambling house, she put down the food in her hands and ran to her daughter to see if she was injured.

Seeing her mother so worried about her, Li Mengyue felt warm in her heart and comforted her, "Mom, I'm fine."

"The thugs are here to find Li Jian. Li Jian cheated in the college exam and was expelled from the college. He will never be able to take the exam again."

"Ah! We can no longer take part in the imperial examinations. That means all hopes of the Li family and the villagers will be shattered." Li said in surprise.

"Who said it wasn't? The point is that this is not the worst. What the two people in the old house can't accept is that Li Jian also learned to gamble. Not only did he lose all the money he had, but he also borrowed money from the casino at high interest. Now, with interest compounded, he owed a hundred taels of silver."

"Li Jian couldn't pay it back, so the gambling house sent thugs to the village to collect the debt, and I happened to run into them."

Seeing that her daughter was fine and indeed not hurt at all, Mrs. Li was no longer so worried and was in the mood to ask what happened later.

"Oh! I saw that the old mansion couldn't come up with that much money, so I helped to cover the cost. Here is the IOU."

When Li heard her daughter say that she had helped pay back the 100 taels of silver for the old house, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

In her opinion, the money belongs to her daughter, and she can spend it however she wants without telling her. She won't say anything even if she gives it to the old house.

What's more, although they have separated from the old house, they are still a family in the eyes of outsiders, and they are still connected as a family.

She is already very satisfied that their second wife can make her own decisions and live the life she wants.

And she really didn't care about the two elderly people in the old house. She was afraid that her husband would feel uncomfortable and her family's reputation would be bad, which would affect her daughter and son's marriage in the future.

Li Mengyue roughly guessed what her mother was thinking from her expression.

Although she didn't quite agree with it, the damage done in the past couldn't be forgotten or erased as if it didn't exist.

However, she was not going to interfere. After all, everyone has their own ideas. Although she is Li's daughter, she cannot force her mother to hate Old Man Li and Old Lady Li. She also does not want her mother to be a cruel and ruthless woman.

"Mom, don't worry about Mingyu. I'm going to send Mingyu and Minghao to school after a while. I believe Mingyu will gradually become more cheerful."

Before Li could react, he heard a "bang" sound.

The two of them looked up quickly.
