Chapter 49 Li Mingyue Meets the Li Family

Yang Mingyue was also quietly collecting herbs, but she told her husband that these were health-strengthening recipes given to her by her family.

Her husband also supported her and quietly helped her collect them.

Li Mingyue silently memorized the prescriptions. She also wanted to collect them, but the drought along the way made even grass grow poorly, let alone medicinal herbs.

Besides, she doesn't recognize those herbs; she can only collect them when things stabilize in the future.

"Young master, I noticed that Miss Li seems to be looking for some herbs, but she doesn't seem to recognize any of them."

Qin Da was still reporting on what he had discovered. To be honest, he didn't agree with his young master continuing to keep an eye on Miss Li.

Honestly, after watching her for so many days, all he could see was that this Miss Li, aside from being a bit resilient, was just a peasant girl.

"Alright, you don't need to keep an eye on her anymore." Young Master Qin waved his hand.

Having watched for so long without getting anything, Young Master Qin finally gave up.

It seems that this peasant girl was truly lucky to have encountered the miraculous medicine.

Qin Da also breathed a sigh of relief. As a guard, he walked with the Li family mother and daughter every day. The mother and daughter helped with chores even in the team, especially after they took over the cooking duties, the team's meals improved a lot.

Forgive them, they are just guards, not cooks. As long as the food they used to make was edible, that was fine. After the Li family mother and daughter took over, everyone was able to eat an extra bowl of rice.

Li Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that someone was watching her all along, so she didn't dare to make any rash moves.

Even the cooking was something she had her mother take over, partly because the food these people cooked was barely edible, and partly because she was afraid that this benefactor would change his mind halfway through, think they were useless, and abandon them.

The mother and her daughters were in no way to protect themselves on their journey of fleeing famine; it was too dangerous.

It seems that people have a good impression of them now, and Li Mingyue feels a little more at ease.

"Miss Li, the young master said he will camp here tonight."

"Okay, Brother Qin. I'll call my mother to prepare dinner right away." After receiving the accurate information, Li Mingyue went to help her mother.

Not far from where they set up camp, a group of people watched with envy as they started a fire and cooked.

"Mom, they're eating rice across the street!" said the third son of the Li family enviously.

That's right, among this group of people were members of the Li family who abandoned Li Mingyue and her daughter. Apart from the four of them, the rest of the Li family members were there.

Li Mingyue's grandparents, Li Laoda and his wife with their son and daughter, Li Laosan and his wife with their youngest son, and finally Li Mingyue's father.

"So what if it's rice? Can you afford it? Don't you see all the important people over there? I'm warning you, stay away from those people. The guards over there are all carrying knives!" Li Mingyue's grandmother saw it clearly, and she was envious too. That was rice!

However, she was self-aware enough to warn her family not to wander off, and then sent her second and youngest sons to gather firewood.

Ever since losing his daughter and wife, the second son has become increasingly quiet, much to the dismay of Li Mingyue's grandmother, who sees him as a wooden stake.

While Li Laosan and his second brother were gathering firewood, they couldn't help but peek over to take a look.

"Third brother, Mother won't let us go there!" Li Lao Er said in a muffled voice.

"Oh, Second Brother, I'm just going to take a look, I won't do anything!" With that, he pulled Li Lao Er toward the VIP.

Li Laosan looked down on his second brother from the bottom of his heart. He thought he was a good-for-nothing who couldn't even keep an eye on his own wife and children. But anyway, it didn't concern him, so he didn't care.

As the two approached, Li Mingyue also came out to gather some firewood. Her mother was cooking, and she had nothing to do, so she might as well gather some firewood nearby.

"This, this must be Mingyue!" Old Li San had good eyesight and spotted Li Mingyue first, but he was a little hesitant to recognize her.

Although Li Mingyue is still wearing coarse linen clothes, her spirit and energy are completely different. After taking the Rejuvenation Pill and eating well with the noble people, she is much fatter than before when she was in the Li family.

Upon hearing his younger brother's words, Li Lao Er excitedly looked up as well.

Although the sun had already set, the remaining light still allowed him to see clearly that this was his eldest daughter, Li Mingyue.

"Mingyue, my Mingyue!" Li Lao Er abandoned his firewood and ran towards Li Mingyue.

When Li Laosan exclaimed in surprise, Li Mingyue saw the two of them, but she was also stunned.

When she saw Li Lao Er running towards her, she suddenly came to her senses and ran back to the group.

Li Laosan held on tightly to Li Laoer, saying, "Second Brother, are you crazy! That's a nobleman's procession over there, and those guards are all carrying knives!"

The two could only watch helplessly as Li Mingyue ran into the nobleman's camp, while the guards with knives glanced at them a few times.

Finally, Li Laosan returned to his side with firewood and his distraught second brother.

"Second son, I just asked you to gather some firewood, and you're making such a face! If you keep this up, you're not eating dinner tonight!" Grandma Li got angry when she saw her second son's attitude.

The second son is not as eloquent as the youngest son, nor as capable as the eldest son. He can only stay at home to farm and doesn't even have a son. He's really a good-for-nothing.

Li Laosan tugged at his mother, "Mother, we just saw Mingyue! She's in the procession of nobles!"

"What!" The other members of the Li family were shocked when Li Laosan said this.

What makes Li Mingyue so special? That person is a benefactor!

"So Li Mingyue can eat rice now?" As soon as Li Zhuzi said this, the Li family members were instantly filled with jealousy.

Li Zhuzi was even more jealous. He was the eldest grandson of the Li family, and only he was entitled to eat rice. Why did that little bitch Li Mingyue have the right to eat rice?

"Are your second sister-in-law and the others here too?" Grandma Li asked Li Laosan.

Li Laosan shook his head and said that they were gathering firewood in the woods when they met Li Mingyue. When they called her, she ran into the group of nobles.

"Grandma, bring her back! She's family!" Li Zhuzi was consumed with jealousy.

"Go cook, don't even think about it. Didn't you see those guards are all carrying knives?" Grandma Li refused.

The others looked unwilling, and then they thought about how Li Mingyue and the others had eaten rice tonight, and their hearts were filled with sourness. It was rice!

"Second brother, tomorrow you go and beg the nobles in the procession, that's your wife and daughter!"

Old Li's words reignited the interest of the others.

Li Mingyue ran back in a panic. She didn't know why she ran, or perhaps she had been resisting seeing them ever since they abandoned her.

"What's wrong, Mingyue? Come and eat! Your mother has saved you a big bowl of rice and some cured meat!"

Li Mingyue's mother was still happily calling to her daughter, "We're having meat today!" Mingyue, the little girl, was still running around.

Seeing her mother's smiling face, Li Mingyue swallowed her words. "Never mind, let's eat first."
