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

The next day, the sky outside the window was foggy and it would take more than half an hour before it would be completely bright.

Li Mengyue was still sleeping soundly when she heard someone whispering outside the door.

Without hesitation, I started to get dressed and get up.

Outside.

In addition to Goudan's mother and Li Li's mother and daughter, there were also many villagers carrying small bamboo baskets.

When everyone sees what the other person is holding, they know what is inside without saying much.

It seemed that everyone had the same idea. They all wanted to sell the locusts quickly and then catch them in the fields, so they all got up very early.

Li Yan was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. He sat there waiting for dawn, holding a small bamboo basket filled with locusts.

There was still some time before dawn, but he couldn't wait and came to wait outside Li's house.

Yesterday afternoon, he went to the fields to catch fish for a while, but felt that the process was a bit slow, so he went home and found a bag.

Call your parents and go to the fields to catch them together.

It’s just that my parents are old, and their waists hurt after bending down to catch them for a while.

He felt sorry for his parents, so he asked them to go home and rest. However, ever since his parents learned that locusts could be sold for money, they have never smiled again.

Ever since his fiancée broke off the engagement and he dated several girls but none of them liked him, he has never seen his parents smile so happily again.

I still remember yesterday afternoon, my mother said that locusts could be sold for money, so their family would try hard to catch them and save the money to build a house and for him to get married.

In fact, there are many young men of marriageable age in the entire Xinghua Village, but they are all like Li Dazhu, Li Erzhu, and Li Yan. Their families are too poor, and it is difficult for them to have enough food and clothing, let alone build a house.

Parents who have daughters at home don't want their daughters to marry into such a family and suffer poverty all their lives.

Moreover, many parents in Xinghua Village hope that their daughters will get married and escape from here.

Unfortunately, Qingshan Town is a very poor town in Wuning County, and Wuning County is a poor county in Qingshan Prefecture. Not to mention paying the full amount of grain tax every year, there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters, so the court can just let an earthquake happen.

In fact, this is related to the geographical location of Wuning County. The entire county is close to the mountains, the roads are difficult to travel, and merchants are unwilling to come here.

It took Li Mengyue quite a while to get to Xinghua Village, as most of the way was mountainous, which was not easy to walk on.

However, living by the mountains is not without its benefits.

You know, if you live by the mountain, you can eat from the mountain; if you live by the water, you can eat from the water. The people in Xinghua Village can find food in the mountains.

It’s just that people nowadays have a natural awe of mountains. Plus, there are wild beasts in the deep mountains, so they only dare to dig some wild vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, etc. on the outskirts of the mountains, but it’s difficult to fill their stomachs this way.

As a result, the villagers of Xinghua Village had a hard time.

But now it's good. Ever since the village chief said that Li family's girl Mengyue would buy locusts at the price of one penny per pound, it has been a shot in the arm for Xinghua Village.

Every household was busy.

In the past, before the busy farming season, the villagers didn’t have much to do, except weeding and catching insects in the fields.

I go to the fields every day and cut all the grass, no matter how much it there is. But if I don't go to the fields, I can't stay at home, and I can't find a job in town.

I had to go to the fields. Even if I just stood in the fields and did nothing, looking at the crops in my own fields made me feel comforted, so I didn't have too many wild thoughts and felt anxious all day, worrying that the harvest was too little and not enough for the whole family to eat until the next year when new crops were harvested.

But now, no matter whether adults or children, as long as they have hands and feet, they can go to the fields to catch locusts and sell them to the Li family at one penny per pound.

The whole family, young and old, goes out to see how many copper coins can be sold in a day.

"Hiss! I can't think about it. I can't help laughing when I think about it."

Li Yan stood in front of the Li family's gate, holding a small bamboo basket in his arms, with a smile on his face.

The villagers waiting in front of Li's door had no complaints when they saw that the door was closed.

After all, they also knew that it was not that the Li family got up late, but that they got up too early.

Even during the busy farming season, people don't get up so early.

But as long as they thought about catching locusts in the fields at their doorstep and selling them for money, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

Only children sleep in at home. Besides, it is good for children's health if they get more sleep.

If you ask them why they didn't doubt the authenticity of this matter, some villagers will definitely spit in your face.

Not to mention that this was told to everyone by the village chief, just seeing that Li Jia Mengyue came back from the capital, you can tell that this person must be someone who is not short of money.

Although her identity is a myth and she is not a real daughter of a wealthy family, she is still better than those who eat in the fields.

Even though Li Ran sent people back some time ago to spread the news that Li Mengyue had been with a beggar, they had also discussed it in private.

But none of these are as real as real money. No matter what Li Mengyue was like in the past, as long as they can make money, they will think that Li Mengyue is a good girl and will never say bad things about her behind her back again.

Even the gossipy Li Cuihua was delighted to learn that Li Mengyue, who was in her forties, was collecting locusts.

In the past, she would tell everyone: "Li Mengyue is not innocent. She will never get married. Li An and Wan Niang should not have acknowledged this daughter. Now it's a waste of time. Li An's eldest son will not get married, which will definitely be affected. The same goes for the twins."

Who wouldn't hate seeing such a gloating face?

Now, she was standing in front of the Li family's gate, holding a small bamboo basket in her hand, chatting with the villagers, her big mouth chattering non-stop without waiting for the other party to reply to her words.

She continued to talk to herself: "Hey, you guys say, Mengyue girl has such a good heart, so kind, our village has never had such a kind person."

"Such a kind person comes from Xinghua Village. As a daughter-in-law of Xinghua Village, I feel extremely proud."

……

Li Cuihua was spitting all over the place, praising Li Mengyue highly.

"Squeaky!"

The Li family's door opened from the inside.

The villagers who were surrounding Li Cuihua and listening to her chat, heard the door open and all rushed to the door with their small bamboo baskets in their arms.

In fact, Li Mengyue has very good hearing and can hear all the villagers' conversations clearly.

Of course, I also heard Li Cuihua’s mindless praise.

To be honest, she was a little flattered to hear Li Cuihua praising her. After all, she had known Li Cuihua for a long time and knew that she had been saying bad things about her behind her back.

The rumors about her in the village had a lot to do with Li Cuihua.

But these words didn't cause her any harm, nor did they touch her bottom line, so she didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Unexpectedly, she just wanted to buy locusts from the villagers, and the price was one cent per pound. Not only did no one say the price was low, but they were all very enthusiastic and took action.

You know, she had just told the village chief yesterday, and before dawn today, someone had already brought caught locusts to her house to sell.

She originally wanted to open a breeding farm and not set up a stall in town all the time. As long as she let everyone know that locusts can be eaten and that a locust plague will break out, her goal will be achieved.

Of course, she will continue to purchase locusts, but instead of frying them, she will dry them into dried locusts and use them as duck feed.

This way the villagers don’t have to worry about her not collecting locusts one day and losing a source of income.

Besides, many delicious dishes can be made with ducks, such as roast duck, salted duck, duck soup, etc., and duck eggs can also be used to make salted duck eggs, preserved eggs, and preserved eggs.

If she raises too many ducks, she also plans to open a workshop related to duck delicacies and sell the delicacies outside.

At first, the villagers may feel that they cannot afford to raise ducks, but later on, as they earn more income from ducks, they will be willing to raise ducks, thus entering a positive cycle, and life in the village will improve.

It seems that there will be a locust plague in a month. For the villagers, it is not only not a bad thing, but will turn into a good thing, a good opportunity for them to get rich.
