Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her
Chapter 68: Going to the Village Chief's House
The village chief's wife came into the house, picked up a clean rag, wiped the stool, and placed it behind Li Mengyue.
"Come on, Yue girl, sit down and take a rest first. I'll go to the kitchen and tell Tonghua to cook a few dishes. Stay today and have dinner at Grandma Li's house."
Seeing the village chief's wife being so enthusiastic towards her, Li Mengyue felt warm in her heart and said softly, "Grandma Li, don't bother. I'll talk to the village chief and leave right after I'm done."
As she spoke, Li Mengyue put the things in her hand on the table.
"We are dividing the family business today, so we don't have time to go to town to buy anything. Grandma Li, please accept these things."
The village head's wife directly held Li Mengyue's hand and said unhappily: "Yue girl, what are you talking about? When you come to Grandma Li's house, it's like your own home. Why bring anything? Don't bring anything at all. Let's see if Grandma Li will let you go home with an empty stomach."
Li Mengyue looked at the expression of the village chief's wife and knew that she was speaking from the heart. She had a better impression of the village chief's family and gained confidence in the village chief's decision to let everyone raise ducks.
After all, the village chief's wife is so considerate. From the village chief's actions when dividing the family property, we can also see his status in the village. Old man Li, who has always acted like an old man in the Li family, didn't dare to say a word of opposition.
"Grandma Li, isn't the village chief at home?"
"Oh, I am getting old and confused. I don't know what happened to the old man. He went to the ancestral hall early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. I will ask Zebao to call him now."
"Grandma Li, I can wait first..."
Before Li Mengyue could finish her words, the village head's wife had already called out "Zebao" loudly.
"Zebao, go to the ancestral hall and ask your grandfather to come back. Tell him that your sister Yue wants to see him."
Seeing that his grandfather was not at home, Zebao thought of putting the candied haws in the kitchen first and letting his grandfather eat them when he came back.
He put the candied haws away and told his mother, Mrs. Wang, how wonderful Sister Yue was.
Wang saw her son talking non-stop but she did not stop him nor did she show any annoyance. She just listened to him attentively with a smile on her face.
But she did not forget her mother-in-law's instructions and made some brown sugar water for Yue.
After preparing the brown sugar water, Wang wanted to take her son to the main room to get closer to Yue.
I heard my mother-in-law asking her son to go to the ancestral hall and call his grandfather back.
"Zebao, your grandma asked you to go call grandpa, you should go quickly, I'm afraid your sister Yue is in trouble."
When Zebao heard his grandmother calling him, he didn't care what his mother said, and responded loudly: "Okay, grandma."
Li Mengyue saw Zebao running out with his short legs from the main room.
"Come on, Yueyue, drink the brown sugar water quickly."
Wang brought a bowl of brown sugar water and placed it on the table next to Li Mengyue.
Li Mengyue had just drunk the spiritual spring water and was not thirsty at all.
But when she saw Aunt Liang looking at her eagerly, she was too embarrassed to say that she was not thirsty.
So she picked up the bowl and took a sip. After just one sip, she knew that Aunt Liang had put a lot of sugar in it.
During the time she lived in the village, she also realized that brown sugar was a luxury that the villagers were reluctant to eat.
Basically, people only give out some brown sugar when there are guests at home or on important holidays.
"Thank you Aunt Youliang, the brown sugar water is delicious."
When Wang heard this, she was so happy that her face was full of smiles. She wanted to sit down and have a good chat with Li Mengyue, and thank her for saving Zebao.
But before her butt touched the stool, she heard a cough.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
When I looked up, I saw my mother-in-law holding her neck and coughing.
Wang stood up hurriedly and walked quickly to the village head's wife, holding her mother-in-law with one hand and patting her back with the other.
While patting him, he asked worriedly, "Mom, why are you coughing? Did you catch a cold because you didn't cover yourself with the quilt properly at night?"
"What should I do? I need to see a doctor right away. Yes, I need to see a doctor. I'll go get Doctor Yang right away."
Grandma Li saw that her daughter-in-law was getting more and more outrageous. Fearing that she would make a fool of herself, she gently pushed Wang and said helplessly, "Mom is fine. She just coughed and got a shortness of breath. Miss Yue is coming to visit us today. Go to the kitchen and cook a few dishes and keep Miss Yue for dinner."
Wang finally put her worries to rest when she heard her mother-in-law say that everything was fine. It was not that she was worrying for no reason, but the family situation was such that they could not afford for someone to get sick.
After all, it's fine if a person is healthy and has no illness or disaster. But once he has a minor illness or pain, seeing a doctor and taking medicine will make the whole family "hurt".
If a person gets seriously ill, within a year or two, a family with good conditions can easily be bankrupt.
Although her father-in-law was the village chief, her family didn't live that well.
You know, as long as the father-in-law knows that a family is in difficulty and can't make ends meet, he will use the family's food and money to help them.
Otherwise, my sister-in-law wouldn't have eaten anything good during pregnancy, and she wouldn't have given birth to Mengmeng so thin, and even Mengmeng's health was not good.
These two days, the brother-in-law took her and her daughter to Xinghua Village, Mengmeng's grandmother's home, and they will probably be back tomorrow.
Just hearing her mother-in-law asking her to cook a few dishes made her feel a little embarrassed.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to do it, it’s just that even a good cook can’t cook without rice.
Now we have two meals a day at home, and none of them is dry food, only porridge.
She and her mother-in-law are women, so it doesn't matter if they have small appetites. Her husband and father-in-law have a lot of things to do every day, and they cannot live without eating enough.
Therefore, she would prepare an extra steamed bread for the man in the family at every meal, but even this husband could not be full. She felt so distressed when she saw her husband secretly getting up at night to drink cold water.
But as a woman, she stayed at home to take care of the children and cook every day, unlike her husband who could go to town to work and earn money.
In the past, my husband could earn ten cents a day working in town, which is three hundred cents a month, and he could do a lot of work.
But for some reason, I can't find a job recently, and my husband has been at home all this time.
Today, the Li family's old house and the second branch were separated. My father-in-law helped to deal with the matter. When he returned home, he asked my husband to go to the foot of the mountain east of the village to help Li An's family clean up the house.
In fact, my husband was also ready to go without my father-in-law telling him, after all, it was Yue who saved Zebao.
Zebao was their treasure, finally born after five years of marriage. Saving Zebao was equivalent to saving their lives. This favor was too great to be repaid by giving away gifts.
The village chief's wife saw her eldest daughter-in-law, Wang, standing there hesitating, and she also understood the situation at home.
So he went to the bedroom, got ten copper coins, handed them to Wang, and said, "Go buy some meat."
Wang took the copper coin and was about to walk out the door.
"Sister Youliang, I brought a wild rabbit. You can take it to the kitchen and stew it."
"Girl Yue, take the rabbit home and use it to nourish your parents and brother. They have had a hard time these years." The village chief's wife refused directly.
Wang didn't want to take the wild rabbit, but was thinking of going to the town to buy meat. She didn't know whether Li Laogen's ox cart could still carry people, as she heard that he was sick.
If I can't take the ox cart, I have to walk to the town, and I don't know when I can get back.
Therefore, we must seize the time and not delay any further.
"Mom, I'm going to go to Li Laogen's house first to see if his ox cart can carry anyone. If not, I'll walk there."
"Hey, good."
The village chief's wife also knew that she had to go to town to buy meat, but Yue girl had finally come home, so no matter what, she had to stay for a meal.
