"Jiaojiao, you don't believe what your mother says."

"I believe it, how could I not believe it? Don't worry, I will go find my second brother and ask him to apologize to you and give you ten taels of silver for medical expenses."

Speaking of silver, Old Lady Li immediately thought of the hundred taels of silver notes that Li Mengyue casually gave to the gambling house thug.

Since he could come up with so much money at once, the little guy must have some more on him.

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Li could no longer sit still. She grabbed Li Jiaojiao's clothes and was about to get out of bed.

"Daughter, you don't know, the second son is out and not living at home. If I go with you, ten taels of silver is not enough, at least twenty taels is needed."

After saying that, Old Lady Li started to act like she was going to scream "ouch, ouch".

Li Jiaojiao and the others said exactly what I said. Don’t think she said it nicely. She wants to ask second brother for money.

She was still hesitant in her heart. Although she was favored and only a few years older than her second brother's daughter, she would not think that her second brother would give in to her.

It's different with me around. She knows my fighting ability very well. Not to mention other things, just the filial piety alone is enough to crush my second brother.

So Li Jiaojiao quickly supported Old Lady Li and walked out the door.

"Mother, you said that my second brother's daughter was once a wealthy lady. When she comes back, will she bring a lot of silver? We only want 20 taels. I think that's a bit insulting to my second brother. How about 100 taels?"

"Yes, my daughter is right. I want one hundred taels. If I lose one tael, I will be lying on the ground. Let's see if Li An can afford to lose this person."

…

When Li Jiaojiao was helping Old Lady Li to the Li family at the foot of the mountain, Li Mengyue dragged a little wild boar and a wild rabbit into the house.

The villagers standing in the Li family yard were all waiting to sell locusts. While waiting, they chatted animatedly.

How can I catch locusts quickly? What kind of locusts are easy to catch? Where are there lots of locusts in the grass? If I catch so many in a day, how much should I sell them for?

Just when everyone was chatting enthusiastically, a sharp-eyed villager saw Li Mengyue and immediately greeted her enthusiastically.

"Yue girl is back." A villager carrying a small bamboo basket spoke to her with a smile.

"Hello, auntie." Li Mengyue replied politely.

"Girl Yue, you must have gotten quite a lot this time. Wow, what...what is this? I'm not mistaken, it's a little wild boar, and there's also a rabbit. Oh my god, Tian Dazhuang wouldn't dare to provoke a wild boar so easily!"

"Yes! If you ask me, Miss Yue is really amazing. She never comes back empty-handed when she goes to the mountains. She either brings back a pheasant or a rabbit. This time, she even brought back a whole wild boar."

"I still remember when Ang Lee broke his leg, everyone was so sad and felt it was such a pity. I never thought that Ang Lee's luck would turn around and his biological daughter would come back."

"That's right. Now, who in the village doesn't envy Li An and his wife? They don't worry about their lives, but can live a life of ease and comfort."

"I don't think we need to envy Li An too much. Now we're also benefiting from Yue's wealth. We can make a lot of money just by selling locusts every day. If we work hard, we should have enough food and clothing for the whole year."

…

While accepting everyone's praise, Li Mengyue listened to the villagers talking about her parents and found it quite interesting.

Just as everyone was excitedly discussing the little wild boar and waiting to sell the locusts, the door was suddenly pushed open and a shrill sound was heard in the yard.

The villagers' discussions stopped suddenly.
