In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Chapter 16 Bai Er Gou and Zhang want to sell Bai Lu's child

"You know, Mr. Chen from the grocery store now buys rare items from the north and south, and specifically wants pearls of good quality. How can our little town be close to the sea? There is only a small river."

"If he wants to collect pearls, he has to collect them of good quality. It's really strange that he can collect them."

"But I heard that... the Queen Mother in the palace still likes pearls recently, so she sent her confidants to look for them, so the price of pearls has become much higher. If the quality is good, I'm afraid a small pearl will cost ten taels of silver."

Pearls? Aren't they sold in my own system mall? And they can be any size you want.

Modern pearls are all artificially cultivated. Aren’t they much better than the natural, weird-shaped pearls from ancient times? !

When Bai Lu thought of this, her eyes immediately lit up and she took a look at her system mall.

Sure enough, there are a lot of modern pearls, and they are all very cheap.

In ancient times, pearls were relatively expensive and were basically mined naturally. Few people farmed pearls, but it is different nowadays.

A pearl that would cost 10 taels of silver in an ancient grocery store only costs 500 coins in your own system mall.

If it is a larger and more expensive item, it might cost 100 or 200 taels of silver if sold in an ancient grocery store, but in this system mall, it only costs five or ten taels of silver.

It was too late today, and she had to go back and deliver the goat milk to the seven little ones. Otherwise, she would go to the grocery store directly. She might as well go to the grocery store next time.

Thinking of this, Bai Lu slowly walked to the city gate, got on Old Li's ox cart with ease, and handed him two cents.

Bai Lu smiled and said, "Grandpa Li, let's go home!"

......

On the way, Grandpa Li smiled and said to Bai Lu: "Today is the full moon of the little girls, it is a good thing, I will not take your money today, just think of it as buying delicious food for the little girls."

Bai Lu smiled slightly, "How can you not accept it? You have to accept it."

But she couldn't refuse Grandpa Li, so he insisted to give Bailu money, so Bailu had no choice but to accept it.

She also prepared gifts for the seven little ones, which were seven silver bracelets weighing 10 taels each, one for each of them, which meant she spent 70 taels. She now had more than 200 taels of silver, and after spending 70 taels, she would have more than 100 taels left. She would keep these 100 taels for purchasing goods for herself.

She selected carefully and spent a long time choosing in the system mall, and finally she chose the silver bracelet with a pattern of magpie climbing a plum tree!

"..."

On the road.

On the surface, Grandpa Li saw Bai Lu distracted in the car, but in fact, she had already immersed herself in the system mall and was bargaining with the system with great enthusiasm.

"......So my dear Big Apple, this silver bracelet weighing ten taels, just a baby bracelet, actually cost one tael of labor?! One bracelet costs 11 taels?!"

"This labor cost is more expensive than the gold bracelet!"

Apple rubbed his fingers and said quickly, "But my dear host, this magpie climbing on a plum tree pattern is hollowed out. It's all hand-carved. It looks expensive. The one you picked is the most expensive. Why don't you pick something cheaper?"

Bai Lu shook her head at this time and said firmly: "I want this pattern. This pattern is the best looking in the system mall."

Next year, when the babies grow up a little, I will make her a heavy collar as a birthday gift.

It's also to save money for them.

In ancient times, silver was hard currency. Whether it was a silver bracelet, silver earrings or anything else, it could be spent as money, so this was equivalent to savings for them.

If they want to get married in the future, this will be their dowry, so they can get married. If they don’t want to get married, then forget it. They can live a carefree life with the money Bai Lu gives them.

This is Bailu’s consumption concept.

So she has the habit of saving gold bracelets in modern times.

Apple was scolded by Bai Lu for a long time. Finally, he couldn't stand Bai Lu anymore and could only reluctantly say: "Okay, okay, in that case, I'll give you a discount on your labor fee. Can I give you a 75% discount? Give me taels of silver."

"No, I can only give you 71 taels of silver."

"?"

Apple is confused.

"These 71 taels of silver are not enough to fill my teeth, so you can only give me one tael of silver as labor fee, right? How can I explain this to the salesperson in the system mall when the time comes?"

"..."

Bai Lu tried her best to persuade and finally bargained down the labor fee to three taels of silver, which means that each silver bracelet weighing ten taels would cost 500 coins.

Although it is still a bit expensive, Bai Lu can still accept it this time.

Who could blame the silver bracelet with the pattern of a magpie on a plum tree? It has such an intricate and beautiful pattern that it doesn't look like something a little girl in the village would wear. Instead, it looks like something a little princess or noble lady in the palace would wear.

She likes it very much.

Bailu didn't buy one for herself. Don't think that the lovely Bailu was reluctant to buy one. It was because Bailu wanted to buy a gold one.

Moreover, for Bai Lu, the jewelry should be worn outside. If it is just left there, it seems to be useless and is not as practical as silver.

Now, Bai Lu couldn't show off how much money she had, or her mother-in-law and her family would come after her, wouldn't they?! It was better to just leave it as it was and not buy jewelry for the time being.

......

The village chief's wife has been looking after the seven babies for some time.

She watched the seven little babies grow from wrinkled, red, ugly little monkeys into white, chubby little balls.

Those big eyes, small nose and red little mouth made the village head's wife love them so much that she couldn't let go.

"Oh, our January is really pretty, with big eyes, just like your mother."

After feeding goat's milk for a month, she couldn't help but praise it.

Then, I started feeding February with goat milk.

Holding February in her arms, she continued to praise: "Oh, our February is also pretty, and February is also fair and clean..."

“March is also beautiful…”

“April is also beautiful…”

From January to July, all of them look good, and the village head's wife loves them all.

This is equivalent to her own granddaughter! Looking at this month, the village head's wife has a lot of feelings for her.

She patted the seven babies, and after feeding them, the babies fell asleep quietly, without making any noise at all.

The village head's wife felt even more pity for them, and at the same time she couldn't help cursing Zhang and old lady Zhou in her heart! "They are such heartless people! They don't even like our older daughters. These seven fat daughters are so good!"

"Today is your full moon day. Your mother will definitely bring you gifts."

There was a circle of fat babies around the village chief's wife. She was holding three of them in her hands. When she couldn't hold any more, she placed four more in front of her.

That's all.

Before she knew it, the village head's wife felt a little tired... She seemed to smell a strange fragrance, which was a bit choking, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.

The village chief's wife was old and had blurry eyes. She probably didn't notice the small hole outside the window. Thick smoke came out of the hole. It was the incense!

"..."

At this moment, there were two people squatting outside the house, they were Zhang and Bai Ergou!

"Mom, is this really okay?"

Bai Ergou was a little nervous. He looked at Zhang and said, "Are you really going to sell Bai Lu's child?"

"What if she comes back and searches the entire village and still can't find it? What if she goes to town to report it to the police?"

"Then we are like prostitutes who buy and sell human beings. I heard that we can go to jail for this!"
