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

Bai Ergou was a little scared when he said this, "What if I go to jail? No girl will be willing to marry me!"

When Zhang heard this, she glared at Bai Ergou fiercely, "Are you stupid? If you didn't sell her child, how could you have taken the ten taels of silver from Bai Lu?!"

"Before, she spent all the ten taels of silver that Old Lady Zhou gave her on seven losers. Now we want it back, but as a woman... she can't earn that much even if she goes to a brothel to pick up customers!"

"So they must sell the child!"

Bai Ergou scratched his head. After hearing what Zhang said, he couldn't help muttering, "Ever since Mrs. Zhou gave my sister ten taels of silver, she seems to have gone crazy. She has been lying in bed for a month and is reluctant to spend money on medical treatment. She hasn't recovered yet. She seems to be saying something in her slurred mouth..."

"Anyway, I heard from the people around me that she kept saying she gave 20 taels of silver or something like that. She seemed to be crazy."

"Maybe, that old witch really gave Bai Lu 20 taels of silver. Why don't we check her house again? If she didn't give her 20 taels of silver...why would this old witch go crazy?"

Zhang couldn't help but slap Bai Ergou hard, "Are you stupid?"

"I said you're stupid, you really are stupid. How could Mrs. Zhou, who is so stingy, give 20 taels of silver?!"

"Look at your sister, is she such a powerful person? Does she look like someone who can dig out 20 taels of silver?!"

"Mrs. Zhou is just too stingy, so she can't accept it for a while. Why are you still arguing? Take the child away immediately!"

"One child can be sold for five taels, so let's adopt two."

"...If all else fails, just hug another one, and then another one. Maybe if you add them together, you can sell them for twenty taels of silver!"

"Er Gou, twenty taels of silver, do you know how much that is?"

Zhang smiled slowly, "Didn't Miss Wang say that she wanted a silver bracelet as her dowry? Ten taels of silver would be enough to make her a silver bracelet. How heavy does it have to be?"

"I'll also make a silver bracelet for your mother when the time comes."

Just thinking about wearing it on my hand makes me happy. "Which old woman in this village can afford a silver bracelet that weighs ten taels of silver? Even the village chief's wife only has a pair of silver earrings."

"We're going to get rich! Hahaha!"

"Hurry up and do it quickly! I said I would sell three children, so I will sell three children!"

But Bai Ergou was still young, and he was a little afraid of doing such sneaky things like human trafficking, so he was hesitant.

But after thinking about it carefully...if he could sell his three nieces and marry Miss Wang, then he would have no regrets in his life, so he decided to sacrifice his sister's happiness.

Anyway, after selling three, there are still four left.

They sneaked into the house and immediately saw four plump little girls sleeping on the kang.

He is sleeping soundly wrapped in a swaddle, with his little pink and pouting mouth, so adorable.

Looking at these plump little girls, Zhang couldn't help but curse in her heart. How much silver would it cost and how much goat's milk would it take to raise such fat and money-losing girls!

They are all white and plump... They don't look like children raised in the village at all, but rather like ladies from wealthy families.

Zhang immediately winked at Bai Ergou, and told him that they had to quickly take the chubby girl sleeping on the kang away while the village head’s wife was asleep!

Originally, Zhang wanted to take only three away, but now she saw that the village head's wife was holding three in her arms, leaving four on the kang.

These four plump girls are so well-fed, so if they are sold to a brothel, they will surely earn more...

So white and chubby, he was so pretty when he was young, I wonder how much prettier he will be when he grows up!

Immediately, the two of them hit it off, and each of them secretly took two away and went straight out the door.

Because the children also inhaled the smoke, they fell into a sleepy state with their brows furrowed, and did not make any crying sound.

After taking the child away, Zhang immediately took Bai Ergou and hid in the bushes near the dilapidated house. She took out the straw basket that she had prepared early in the morning, covered it with some straw, stuffed the child in it, and covered it with another layer of straw. She didn't care whether the child could breathe or not.

But as long as these children can survive in the brothel, it's fine.

Zhang immediately said, "Hurry up, let's go home and hide the child at home!"

"When Old Li comes back from sending Bai Lu off, Bai Lu will probably find out that the child is gone. Let's take advantage of the chaos! Let's borrow Old Li's ox cart and go to the town to sell the child!"

"I have already made an appointment with the madam of the brothel to deliver the child when he arrives! Even if Bai Lu reacts, it will be too late. Can she still snatch the child from the madam of the brothel?!"

"OK."

Bai Ergou raised his head quickly, his eyes full of greed.

After selling them, he can buy a big silver bracelet and marry Miss Wang from the east end of the village!

......

When Bai Lu returned home, she saw that she only had three children left!

The village chief's wife was lying there, unconscious and wouldn't wake up.

Bai Lu was so frightened that the goat milk she was holding fell to the ground and spilled all over the floor!

She hurried forward and patted the village head's wife to wake her up: "Auntie, wake up!"

"Where's the child!"

"..."

The village head's wife couldn't be woken up no matter how hard she tried. Bai Lu was shocked and thought that her house might have been robbed and the child had been stolen!

The village chief’s wife has been drugged!

Thinking of how to remove the drug in the ancient TV dramas she had watched before, Bai Lu immediately poured all the goat milk in her hand onto the face of the village chief's wife.

Anyway, the goat milk in this bucket is probably of no use now. It has all fallen to the ground and got dirty. I might as well just pour it on her face as if it were water to dissolve the medicine.

The village chief's wife was suddenly awakened by the splash!

She felt her body was heavy, her vision was blurry, and her eyelids were heavy.

Before she could react, she saw Bai Lu asking her anxiously, "Aunt, where is the child?"

"Where's the child?!"

"Why are they gone? There are only three left!"

"this......"

The village chief's wife was stunned, then she looked down at the child in her arms.

The three little babies were sleeping soundly, their brows were tightly furrowed, as if they had slept a little too long...it was a bit strange.

...Oh my, why are there only three children left in my arms? !

Where are the four dolls on the kang? Why are they gone?!

The village head's wife was confused. She immediately looked around anxiously: "Hey, this, this...where is the child?! Why is the child gone?!"

"They were all there when I was feeding them, how come four of them were gone all of a sudden?!"

"They can't crawl or run now, so how come they disappeared?!"

The village chief's wife was so anxious that she almost cried.

If I lost Bai Lu's children, I would be a sinner for all eternity. I took care of those four children day and night, how could they be lost now? !

Bai Lu looked at the anxious look of the village head's wife and sighed.

She felt very uncomfortable, as if a huge rock weighing ten thousand tons was pressing heavily on her heart.

Bai Lu took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She immediately said, "Aunt, the child must have been stolen by someone else."

"How could it be stolen by someone else? Most people wouldn't come to this shabby house, and I clearly locked the door..."

The village chief's wife immediately looked at the door anxiously.

I saw that there was a hole in the window next to the door, and there were some traces of smoke and some ash outside the hole.
