Li Mengyue followed behind the two of them and listened to every word of their conversation.
Only then did they learn that a flood had struck Guangping Prefecture in the south, forcing countless people with the surname Zhou to flee famine.
It seems that the imperial court did not properly resettle the disaster victims in the south, otherwise so many people would not have fled here.
So Li Mengyue came back from the county town, turned around, and went back to the house where the 100,000 kilograms of soybeans were stored.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, seeing that the door was locked, Li Mengyue took out the key given by Qian Dongjie and opened the door.
He walked to the granary in a familiar way and opened the door again.
The husband walked into the granary and had a sip of tea, only to find that the entire granary had become empty, without even the shadow of a soybean.
Li Mengyue then locked the door and left, then visited the county grain store again and bought 50,000 kilograms of grain.
Afterwards, Li Mengyue still did not go home. Instead, she bought a horse and traveled to all the surrounding counties. Using different identities, she bought a total of 150,000 kilograms of grain.
This wasn't enough, and she wanted to go to the provincial capital. However, she had already been out for two days, and if she didn't go home, her parents would be extremely worried.
Before she came here, she had always been alone and didn't know what it felt like to have someone worry about her.
Now, whenever there is a little disturbance, her parents will become worried about her. Li Mengyue thinks this feeling is not bad. She doesn't feel disgusted at all.
Thinking of this, he got on his horse without hesitation and ran towards Wuning County.
But she was riding very fast, and she could faintly hear someone calling, "Sister Li, Sister Li."
She wanted to stop and see if he was kissing her, but then she thought it was unlikely. This was her first time in Lanlong County. She wouldn't know anyone there, and no one would know her.
He squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and ran faster and faster. After a while, he could no longer be seen.
What Li Mengyue didn't know was that there was actually someone who loved her.
The person who loved her was none other than the young master of the Jiang family, the richest family in Lanlong County, and one of the boys she had rescued from human traffickers.
At that time, Jiang Ze'en was holding a candied haws in his hand and was about to take a bite when he saw Sister Li, whom he had been thinking about.
He ran happily while calling out "Sister Li".
But his sister Li rode the horse too fast. Even if he tried his best, he could only watch Li Mengyue go farther and farther away until she could no longer be seen.
Jiang Ze'en couldn't see anyone anymore, but he kept running forward. He didn't know when the candied haws fell off, and one of his shoes was also missing.
"Master, the girl on horseback has gone far away."
Jiang Ze'en's eyes were red, and he listened to what the people around him said without saying a word.
"Master!"
"I know, let's go home."
One of the two people following behind Jiang Zeen was holding a shoe in his hand.
"Master, put on your shoes first!"
Jiang Ze'en acted as if he didn't hear anything. He let others help him put on his shoes and walked home in a daze.
As soon as he walked into the yard where he lived, before he even stepped inside, he was hugged by someone.
"Son, where have you been? Are you hurt? Let me take a look."
As she spoke, the woman in silk and satin reached out and pulled Jiang Ze'en out of her arms, examining him thoroughly from head to toe.
Seeing that his son had no wounds on his body, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"call!"
"He wasn't injured, but his face looked so grim that it scared mother to death."
Seeing that his mother was really worried about him, Jiang Ze'en finally came back to his senses from the depression after Sister Li left, and whispered: "Mom, I'm fine. Didn't you arrange someone by my side? Don't you believe in yourself and your vision in choosing people?"
Mrs. Jiang then remembered that her son had been abducted by human traffickers and it would not be easy for him to come back.
For the safety of her son, she spent a lot of money to find four martial arts masters with high martial arts skills to protect her son every step of the way.
She really didn't want to experience again the despair of her son being missing and not being able to find him anywhere.
"Mom, I was bored at home, so I just went for a walk on the street. There's no way I'd run into any danger."
"Son, it's hard to say. I can tell you, bad people don't write 'I am a bad person' on their foreheads. You are still young and can't tell who is good and who is bad. If you go out, I will worry about you."
"Luckily, my wife had the foresight to find four bodyguards for you. This way, you can take them with you when you go out, and you don't have to worry about human traffickers kidnapping you."
"Mom, I was careless last time. I won't do it again. Can you please tell them to stop following me?"
Jiang Ze'en was helpless. He felt uneasy even when he went out. There were four people following him. No matter where he went, he would always attract other people's attention. He really didn't like this.
But he knew that it was impossible to reason with his mother. After all, what happened last time not only scared his parents half to death, but also scared him when he thought about it now.
If it weren't for Sister Li, he would probably have been sold to who knows where by human traffickers.
I heard that good-looking kids like him would end up in shady places in order to fetch a high price.
He was born into a wealthy family and was exposed to many people and things. Even though he was young, he had heard that some young masters liked to play that kind of thing.
At that moment when Sister Li rescued him, he was really grateful to Sister Li for saving him from the fate of being played with by others.
And he was really happy during the few days he lived in Xinghua Village.
Although the living conditions in the village were not good, he felt very comfortable living in Sister Li's house, which was more comfortable than the yard his parents had painstakingly built for him.
Because he lived with a dozen abducted children at Sister Li's house, they were all about the same age and had common topics to play with.
What's more, there are many things to do in the village, such as fishing in the river, catching birds from trees, catching locusts in the fields, and eating the delicious food made by Sister Li.
After a crazy day of fun, everyone eats and drinks their fill and falls asleep without having to worry about whether they have finished their homework. What a wonderful life!
But he was sent back home after just a few days.
Although he also missed his parents, catching locusts was not as fun as catching them.
He wanted to go to the village and catch locusts, but every time he saw his mother getting worried and unable to sleep at night, he couldn't bring himself to go to Xinghua Village.
After a long time, he lost the energy to do anything and had no appetite for food.
"Son, it's time to eat. Mommy has asked someone to cook your favorite dishes. Let's go and eat."
When Jiang Ze'en heard this, he replied blankly with one word: "Oh!"
He wasn't hungry at all and didn't want to eat at all, but his mother had said that it was specially made for him and he couldn't refuse, otherwise his mother would be sad.
Jiang Ze'en thought so and passively followed Mrs. Jiang to the dining room.
