"Oh, that's enough, Gu Liang, you've been here for such a long time, it's time to go back to the rice shop and take a look at the situation."

"Didn't you already go back to the rice shop? Why are you back again? Why don't you know the rules? Why don't you know how to serve White Snake properly?!"

"You should know that you are now the farmhand of Lady Bai. Lady Bai is taking care of you. Do you know what your status is?"

Her words and deeds were intended to drive a wedge between Bai Lu and Gu Liang.

But Bai Lu looked indifferent. She had no intention of being with Gu Liang anyway.

As for this old woman, she doesn't care what she says.

But she was a little disappointed. Even if she was not happy about Bai Lu and Gu Liang being paired together, she couldn't talk like that, right? !

And in public, what does this mean? !

Are you going to lose face in public?!

I have helped Zhao Cuicui's family and Gu Liang so much before. Could it be that they have forgotten?

...Yes, I am a widow.

I have seven children, but so what?

She was a widow with seven children. Was she born inferior to others? Wasn't it just her bad luck and bad fate?

Unlike modern people, people in ancient times could freely choose their marriage partners.

But people in ancient times were different. They were women who were arranged by their parents and matchmakers and could not choose their own destiny.

Their fate is determined by others.

So, what did she do wrong?

She did nothing.

But people treat him in such a yin-yang way.

Bai Lu frowned... Actually, she wasn't being very sarcastic, she just felt uncomfortable.

After all, they are acquaintances.

She was a little disappointed when her acquaintance said this.

Bai Lu lowered her head and remained silent.

Gu Liang immediately shook off Zhao Cuicui's hand in a hurry. He quickly returned to Bai Lu and said to her, "Lady Bai, I...my mother didn't mean that."

"enough!"

Bai Lu shook her head and went back to the house. "You don't have to say anything more. Go out! I want to be alone."

"I just got sick and want to rest in the house."

Gu Liang was stunned for a moment.

He stood there in a daze, his silly eyes filled with sadness.

He was holding a plate of pastries in his hand. They were still warm and even smelled like iron. They were a plate of water chestnut and osmanthus cakes that he had just bought from the pastry shop next door.

Thinking of giving Bai Lu a taste.

She was sick, and yet...his mother actually said that.

Lin Zanghai looked at Gu Liang and Zhao Cuicui and smiled smugly.

Lin Zanghai curled his lips. His originally stern face now showed a hint of disdain, making him look much more lively.

It is no longer like a big block of ice or a big piece of wood like before.

He curled his lips and said, "I didn't expect you two would be so disloyal. I thought you and Bai Lu were in the same group."

"Now I realize...you two have different intentions!"

When Zhao Cuicui heard this, her face turned pale and blue.

She couldn't help but said, "General Lin, the two of us will go down first."

"Wait... who sent you two down there?"

Lin Zanghai snorted coldly and said to the two of them: "I really want to be with Bai Lu, but that doesn't mean you can insult Bai Lu casually."

"Ma'am, I respected you before only because you were older and still lived in Bai Lu's home, but after this, I will no longer respect you!"

"Obviously, you have also received Bai Lu's resentment. Don't blame me for being cold-blooded and heartless later!"

"what?!"

When Zhao Cuicui heard this, she was stunned for a moment.

What...what does this mean?!

Her hands began to tremble and her heart began to pound. She just wanted her son to have a good home.

Marry a better wife.

What could she have done wrong? What could she have done wrong? ! !

Her body trembled violently, and she stared at Lin Zanghai in front of her, saying angrily: "General Lin, you don't understand the heart of a mother, you don't understand!"

Lin Zanghai snorted coldly: "I really don't understand, but I also know that Bai Lu is not someone you can insult casually."

"...You don't have to work for them anymore. If Bai Lu still lets you work for them, I will kick you out."

Having said that, he told Zhao Cuicui to get out immediately.

"!!!"

"..."

This immediately shocked Zhao Cuicui, and her heart began to tremble.

She originally thought that Bai Lu would be angry after she said this, but Bai Lu was soft-hearted.

She would definitely let herself continue to work in the Bai family, but the relationship wouldn't be as close.

But what does this mean? Lin Zanghai is here to chase me away? I am clearly trying to bring Bai Lu and Lin Zanghai together.

"..."

Zhao Cuicui looked at Lin Zanghai in a daze, but Lin Zanghai turned around and left, not knowing where he was going.

Gu Liang turned his head to look at Zhao Cuicui. He sneered and felt very disappointed. Zhao Cuicui turned her head and saw her son, staring at her with disappointed eyes.

Zhao Cuicui was shocked. She quickly said, "Son!!! My son... why are you looking at me like that?"

"Mom, don't you understand this?"

Gu Liang said coldly to Zhao Cui: "No matter what, even if you don't like me and Bai Lu being together!"

"Then I think you should talk to Bai Lu first. It's better to discuss this matter in private. There's no need to embarrass Bai Lu in front of an outsider like Lin Zanghai!"

"...Secondly, you and I are now merely controlled and employed by Bai Lu. In the final analysis, we are both her servants."

"He's just her servant, a farmhand who works for her. What qualifications do you think you have to boss Bai Lu around?"

"Third, with Bai Lu's status, it would be as easy for her to crush the two of us as it is for her to crush an ant."

"Why do you think Bai Lu is so kind? She just stood there and listened to the two of us scolding her?!"

"Fourth, how can you be so sure that Bai Lu is willing to be with me? I am just a poor scholar."

As Gu Liang spoke, a bitter look appeared on his face.

"My family background isn't very good, so Bai Lu usually won't choose me."

"Even if I am the master, what can I do?" "Even if I am made a county magistrate, a town mayor, or an official, what can I do? Will Bai Lu choose me?"

"When I become the mayor or the county magistrate, she might be the richest person in Liangzhou Prefecture, or even the richest person in Dawu!"

"Such a powerful woman, why do you think she should be inferior to me? She should be worthy of a better man."

"Mom, you are really not my real mother, no wonder you said such things."

Zhao Cuicui's heart broke when she heard this. She asked Gu Liang in a trembling voice, "You said this about your mother just for a woman outside?"

"Okay, okay, even if I'm not your biological mother, I have raised you for more than 20 years."

"For more than 20 years, I have worked hard to raise you. It was not easy, it was not easy. Why didn't you think that I did it so that you could marry a good wife? I did it for your own good. Do you understand?"

"Do you know that no matter how good Bai Lu is, what can she do? She is just a widow!"

"She is a widow. She has been married before and has given birth to so many children. Do you know that if you marry her, you will be laughed at by others?"

Zhao Cuicui's eyes were red: "Even if you marry a daughter of an honest family, what does it matter if her family is poor?"

"Even if her family is poor, there aren't that many people."

"You and...your future wife can also have your own children."

"But Bai Lu is not okay... She already has seven children now. I don't know if she was hurt during the birthing."

Zhao Cuicui said hysterically: "What if she can't have children in the future?!"

"What if a woman can't have children? How can she...how can she marry you again?!"

"How can you be without a successor?!"

"That's enough! Mom, don't say any more."

Gu Liang looked at Zhao Cuicui and felt his heart beating fast.

He always felt that Zhao Cuicui seemed like a different person.

Could it be because his family is living a better life?

But his family is living a better life now, shouldn’t Zhao Cuicui be more grateful to Bai Lu?

After all, if it weren't for Bai Lu's support, how could Zhao Cuicui, a blind old woman, who had to help cook and take care of people in her home, live such a good life?

When she was studying, Bai Lu took good care of Gu Liang and always gave him extra money.

All the quilts, cotton clothes and food were sent to their homes.

How could Zhao Cuicui, a blind old woman, take care of seven children? It was nothing more than Bailu's care for their family, giving them some extra money.

It's just to give Zhao Cuicui some psychological comfort, otherwise she would always be bored at home and go blind... She would definitely feel that she is useless.

Zhao Cuicui will definitely not be happy.

If the liver is depressed and qi is stagnant for a long time, it may cause depression. How can you live a good life?

Her personality has changed... No matter how hard Gu Liang thought about it, he couldn't understand it.

At this moment, Bai Chuyao, Bai Liezhao, Bai Qingze and others came over outside.

Bai Chuyao frowned and looked at Gu Liang, then sighed, his eyes full of disappointment.

I used to think that Gu Liang and Bai Lu were a good match.

But looking at it later, it's really not that good.

He didn't say anything, but Bai Liezhao was a little unhappy and said: "Auntie, how can you talk like that?!"

"Do you know how Gu Liang and Bai Lu will get along with each other if you talk like this? You are his mother, how can you treat him like this?"

Bai Qingze frowned. He looked at Zhao Cuicui without saying anything, but his eyes were just staring at a dead person.

What widow? She is just an ordinary poor citizen... a commoner family, yet she wants to covet his sister and even dares to despise her.

You know, his sister is the princess of the current dynasty.

If this identity were to be revealed, none of them would be worthy of his sister.

If his sister had never been married, she would be worthy of the prince!

Bai Qingze was really furious.

He felt even more bitter in his heart.

What a hard life my sister is living here!

I used to think that Gu Liang and Zhao Cuicui were reasonable people.

But looking at the results, this is not reasonable.

I don’t know how bad Bai Lu’s in-laws, the Zhou family, were before she became Bai Lu.

There is also Bai Lu’s adoptive parents and their family.

Gu Liang directly said to Bai Chuyao, Bai Liezhao and Bai Qingze: "Don't worry, the three of you. Zhao Cuicui is not my biological mother. She is just my adoptive mother. She cannot represent me."

"White Lady won't be mad at me in the future, and the two of us will naturally be exactly the same as before."

"What?! Bai Chuyao was stunned, Bai Liezhao was also stunned, and the things in his hands fell down.

A piece of pastry fell to the ground, and Bai Qingze looked at it in surprise.

The three of Gu Liang looked at each other strangely: "Then... where are your biological parents?"

When Zhao Cuicui heard this, she burst into tears.

Her eyes were already uncomfortable, and now they felt even more uncomfortable.

Bai Lu had taken a lot of medicine before, and all of a sudden.

It also made my eyes, which had once been clear, become cloudy.

After Zhao Cuicui shed a few turbid tears, she burst into tears and said, "How can you say that? Even if I'm not your biological mother, you can't expose me like this in front of outsiders, right? Where can I put my face?!"

Gu Liang said coldly: "Didn't you also not let Bai Niangzi get away with it?"

Hearing this, Zhao Cuicui was stuck for a moment.

She felt an inexplicable surge of anger in her heart, and a feeling of fear and despair surged into her heart.

If it was Gu Liang, what would he do if he didn't want her? She only had Gu Liang, and she didn't have any other sons.

Zhao Cuicui said anxiously: "Gu Liang, Gu Liang! How can you say that?"

"Have you forgotten how your mother treated you over the years? How did your mother and father treat you? The two of us worked hard to support you in school and study."

"I raised you up and gave you a child with good character, but you treat me like this. Are you going to turn against me just for a woman?"

"Okay, okay, in that case, you can take the jade pendant."
