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

Li Mengyue opened the door and saw so many villagers waiting outside, and she fell into deep thought.

Before she could come to her senses, she heard many villagers rushing to hold up small bamboo baskets and saying, "Girl Li, these are the locusts my family caught yesterday. Please weigh them for me first. I have to hurry to catch them in the fields."

"Hey, I was in the front, why are you cutting in line?"

"Don't push me, don't push me. I came here to line up before dawn. I should be the first one to weigh."

"Tsk, look at the people here, everyone came here before dawn, but I came in the middle of the night. You little brat, you still want to argue with me." As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned sideways to squeeze forward, and in the process, he did not forget to carefully protect the small bamboo basket in his arms, as if he was holding some big treasure.

……

Just as everyone was scrambling to get to the front, a sharp voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"Oh, my locusts, don't step on my locusts, don't step on them, don't step on them, please." A woman cried and asked everyone not to step on her locusts.

It turned out that everyone was very anxious and wanted Li Mengyue to weigh the locusts she caught first and get the copper coins.

After all, even though they heard the village chief give a positive answer, they still didn't quite dare to believe it.

You can earn money right at your doorstep, and it’s not a difficult job. Just catch locusts in the fields, even a child can do it.

And children are physically flexible and can catch more than adults.

In this case, when all the villagers want to get the money first, it will naturally be crazy, and there are so many people that it is too crowded.

The older women in the crowd naturally couldn't squeeze past the younger ones. For example, Grandma Wang from the village was not only squeezed by the crowd, but the locusts in her small bamboo basket were also stepped on.

She and her grandchildren worked together to catch this, spending an entire afternoon.

She had originally thought of using the money from the sale to buy some grains in town for her grandchildren to eat so that they would no longer have to eat wild vegetables and drink wild vegetable soup with her.

But now the locusts that carried her hopes were being trampled. She ignored the pain in her body and saw the locusts being trampled to death and crushed into mud one by one. She could not help but burst into tears.

Hearing the crying, Li Mengyue had already scolded: "Stop pushing, or I won't collect locusts today."

The villagers who were still struggling to squeeze forward stopped immediately when they heard this.

The people at the back who didn't have the strength to squeeze to the front patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were glad that they didn't squeeze in, otherwise they would be the ones who would be squeezed down.

It’s okay to be squeezed down, but I’m afraid that the locusts I caught with great difficulty will be gone, and I will cry to death.

Li Mengyue saw that everyone had come to their senses and was no longer pushing forward so frantically, so she pushed through the crowd and walked towards the direction of the crying sound.

There was an old lady lying on the ground. Someone tried to pull her up, but the old lady refused to cooperate. She didn't care how dirty her body was or how much pain she felt from being stepped on.

He used both hands to pick out the locusts that were trampled to death on the ground, picked out the half-dead ones, and then slowly put them into a small bamboo basket.

After everyone stopped pushing and calmed down, they began to look at who was being pushed down, and some people in the crowd began to talk in low voices.

“Isn’t this Grandma Wang from the village?”

"Yes, it's really not easy for Grandma Wang. She is so old, but she still has to compete with us to sell locusts."

"That's because Grandma Wang couldn't do anything. The old man died early due to illness, and his son went to work in the town. He offended someone and was beaten half to death. If someone in our village hadn't happened to see him and brought him back, Grandma Wang probably wouldn't have been able to see her son for the last time."

"The daughter-in-law couldn't bear the loss of her husband and became seriously ill and passed away, leaving behind a pair of young children."

"Well, even though the villagers didn't live that well, at least we could sometimes have enough to eat and buy new clothes every two or three years. But Grandma Wang raised her grandchildren all by herself, and I don't know how much hardship and fatigue she endured."

"Sometimes I feel so sorry for Grandma Wang when I see her bending over to work in the fields, so I go to help her for a while. But no matter what, I can't finish it all, after all, I have work to do at home."

Goudan's mother came out and said, "After dark yesterday, I saw that the children were not at home, so I went outside to look for them. I ran into Grandma Wang, and she told me that the children were in the fields."

When Li Mengyue heard the villagers' discussions, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed for the old man.

So she stepped forward and helped Grandma Wang up, saying softly, "Grandma Wang, you don't have to pick them up. I'll give you five cents for these locusts."

"And the injuries you got in front of my house are for you...I'll go to your house and show them to you when I'm not busy anymore."

Originally, Li Mengyue wanted to give Grandma Wang one or two taels of silver directly for medical expenses because she saw that Grandma Wang's family was in such a difficult situation and that someone had stepped on her doorstep and injured her.

But when I saw so many people in front of my house, I changed my mind and realized that money is the real attraction.

Grandma Wang has only grandchildren at home, and it is a combination of the elderly and the weak. It would probably be difficult for her to keep the tael of silver, so it would be better to just give her the things directly.

Besides, she could completely cure Grandma Wang’s injuries.

So he took out five cents and put it in Grandma Wang's hand.

Grandma Wang was feeling sad and was forcefully helped up by someone. Before she could wipe the tears from her eyes, she saw a fairy-like girl supporting her.

Worried that she was too dirty and would soil the girl’s dress, Grandma Wang tried to “break free” from Li Mengyue’s hands.

But before she could do anything, the girl said that the locusts she brought were worth five cents.

One catty costs one cent, and five cents will get you five catties of locusts.

She knew very well that the locusts she and her grandchildren caught did not weigh more than five kilograms, but the girl wanted to give her five cents. How could she accept this?

"Girl, these locusts are less than five pounds, not worth five cents, one cent will do."

Li Mengyue was very touched to see that Grandma Wang was living a life of hunger but still remained kind and was unwilling to take more money.

"Grandma Wang, I'm Li Mengyue. If I say it's worth five cents, then it's worth five cents. Just take it with confidence."

Grandma Wang stretched out her hand and wanted to take the copper coin, but when she saw her rough and dark hands, she shrank back and wiped them on her clothes. However, the clothes were already dirty, and her hands became dirtier the more she wiped.

Li Mengyue saw Grandma Wang’s inferiority complex, so she directly held Grandma Wang’s hand and put five copper coins into Grandma Wang’s hand.

"Grandma Wang, please stay at my house for a while. I'll take you home when I'm done."

"Li girl, no need. Grandma Wang can walk. I'm going to the fields to catch locusts with my grandchildren."

Grandma Wang tightly grasped the five cents and said happily.

Seeing that Grandma Wang could maintain an optimistic and open-minded attitude in any environment, Li Mengyue's heart was also infected.

However, once things at home are almost arranged, she will still go to visit Grandma Wang.
