Chapter 46: A Maiden Who Had Just Become a Mother
Translator: 549690339
On this day.
A baby boy was born in a border town called Gulou in the Great Xia Dynasty.
The boy was the fifth son of Li Fusheng, the head of the Li family in Gulou Town.
Logically speaking, it was a joyous occasion to have a new member.
The Li family should be making a big fuss.
In fact, the surrounding neighbors were already looking forward to it.
The recent years had been getting more and more difficult.
Many poor people did not even get to see a single meat dish in ten days and half a month.
Hence, the two of them were in a daze.
Everyone wanted to take this opportunity to go to the Li family’s house to eat a table full of fish and meat.
However…
Old Master Li did not seem to care much about his youngest son.
Old Master Li only took time out of his busy schedule to take a look at the child when he was just born.
Then, she forgot about this child.
Not to mention the wedding banquet.
As for the reason…
Outsiders might not know, but everyone in the Li Residence, including the servants, Imew about it.
One night.
The old master was drunk and indulged in s.e.x. In his thirst, he pushed down a servant girl in the residence.
After he was done, he patted his b.u.t.t and left.
However, he never expected that things would be so coincidental.
Not long after, the servant girl was found to be pregnant.
He had no choice.
Li Fusheng could only reluctantly take the servant girl as his concubine.
That was how the Fifth Young Master was born.
Under such circ.u.mstances, how could Li Fusheng love this son that he picked up for free?
It was already very good that he didn’t ignore it.
At the same time.
Li Yueming slowly opened his eyes.
A few days after he was born, the mystery in his womb had ended.
He slowly stretched his body.
His gaze landed on his cheap mother in this life.
It was also a pale-faced, emaciated woman.
Moreover, he was no older than eighteen years old.
Good heavens.
This cheap mother was too young to be able to play the role of a son at all! Just as Li Yueming was thinking about how to drink milk to make him look like a gentleman…
The girl dragged her weak body and sat up on the bed.
She looked at Li Yueming, who was neither crying nor making a fuss on the bed, with a complicated expression. There was a long silence.
In the end.
The girl suddenly hugged Li Yueming in her arms.
She started to cry.
A year ago, she was just a maid in the residence whose parents had died.
At that time, she was still looking forward to a beautiful love.
She hoped that it would be like the storytelling of the storyteller, where a handsome man would appear one day to save her from danger. The two of them eloped to the ends of the earth and fell in love together.
But imagination was beautiful.
Reality was cruel.
She had become the mistress of the master overnight.
She even gave birth to an unfavored son for him.
Not only did he not feel a trace of warmth from the entire process, but he also did not feel a trace of warmth.
On the contrary, he received countless looks of disdain.
He thought of his future miserable fate.
The girl even wanted to jump into the well and commit suicide.
However, every time she saw the child in her arms.
In the end, he still softened his heart.
He hugged Li Yueming.
The young girl, who had just become a mother, said with a gentle expression, “Yue Yue, Mom’s life has been ruined, but you haven’t! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely raise you and do my best to give you a beautiful life!”
As he spoke.
The expression on the girl’s face gradually became firm.
However, none of Li Fusheng’s wives were easy to deal with.
First Madam’s maiden family was from Qingdu City.
His parents and brothers were all officials.
Even Li Fusheng had to take note of her expression.
The Second Mistress’s family was the daughter of the county head. Her family was powerful.
Third Mistress was also the daughter of a wealthy family.
Only the Fourth Mistress was born slightly worse.
However, it was also a slightly famous family in Gulou Town.
It could be said that no matter which room.
They were not people that Li Yueming, who was born as a servant girl, could afford to offend.
After Li Yueming was born.
Although the wives of several families were not too excessive.
But in private, he had embarra.s.sed his cheap mother a lot.
When she was in confinement, she didn’t even have anyone to take care of her.
In the middle of winter, she had to go to the yard to fetch water to wash Li Yueming’s diapers.
However…
Even so.
His mother remained silent.
Since no one was taking care of Li Yueming, she had to take care of him herself.
No one sent her food, so she planted some vegetables in the yard to fill her stomach.
He really couldn’t live anymore.
He ran to the front gate of the Li Residence and cursed.
Those ladies who cherished their feathers did not want to make a fool of themselves.
He could only pinch his nose and give something.
As time pa.s.sed.
Everyone in the Imperial Residence was amazed by her strength.
However, only Li Yueming, who had been with her day and night, knew how many times his cheap mother had hidden under the blanket and cried secretly.
Time flew by.
Under the careful care of his cheap mother.
Li Yueming had successfully pa.s.sed his first year in this world.
What was worth mentioning was…
On his first birthday.
This was the first time Li Yueming met his deadbeat father in this world.
The other party was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
She had a big belly.
Her face was full of b.u.mps.
It was no wonder that his cheap mother would always look at him with hatred.
It was fine if an old cow ate young gra.s.s.
After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, he threw it aside and did not care.
His conscience was really eaten by a dog.
Facing the sc.u.mbag.
Li Yueming felt that he was quite skilled.
Unfortunately, he was too young to put it into action.
In the second year.
Li Yueming was one year old.
He had already learned how to walk.
However, because his body had not fully developed.
He didn’t even dare to exercise.
After all, the bones of a child’s body were too soft.
If she exercised at this time, it might affect her growth.
Therefore, he had no choice.
Li Yueming had no choice but to suppress his itching heart.
They lay low and waited for an opportunity.
Judging from the current situation.
Both mother and son were living quite miserably.
Every month, he would occasionally receive some rations and monthly payment, plus some vegetables grown by his mother. He could barely ensure that he would not starve to death.
It was funny.
There was no place for them in the huge Li Residence.
Even the servants were living better lives than them.
Time flew by.
When he was two years old.
Li Yueming started to run.
As Li Fusheng’s biological son, he was not favored.
His ident.i.ty was still slightly tougher than his cheap mother.
The servants in the residence probably wouldn’t even pay attention to his cheap mother if they saw her.
However, when she saw Li Yueming.
No matter what he thought.
On the surface, he still had to respectfully address him as Fifth Young Master.
With this layer of ident.i.ty to rely on.
Li Yueming began to move around the Li Residence.
Of course.
The range of activity was very limited.
The school, the ancestral hall, and his cheapskate father’s study.
As well as Li Yueming, who was in the room of many concubines, they were all banned.
However, Li Yueming was obviously not interested in those places.
His target was the Li Residence’s library.
He was still too young.
There was a limit to what he could do.
The one with the highest benefits was naturally studying.
As long as he came into contact with the books in the library pavilion.
By infinitely deducing the power of this golden talent, he could quickly learn a huge amount of knowledge.
P.S.. I’m finally done, so tired…
