In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.
Chapter 27: Bailu, you are not your parents’ child
After the village head's wife sent Bai Lu back home, she carried the children to the kang and couldn't help but sigh.
"Ah, now... now it's really great, the children are all saved."
"Zhang and Bai Ergou are such bastards! They actually want to sell the child!"
"I think...if they are sentenced to death by the county magistrate and the mayor, then you don't have to plead for them. They deserve it."
The village chief's wife patted Bai Lu's shoulder and comforted her.
She added, "But...if Mr. Bai gives you a lot of money, you can compromise. This way you can have both money and a good reputation."
Bai Lu smiled and said nothing.
After the village chief's wife left, Bai Lu looked at the seven fat babies lying in the village and felt happy.
The three fat babies in the family, January, February and March, were fed some goat milk by others and had fallen asleep long ago.
April, May, June and July also fell asleep. All seven of them were sleeping soundly and seemed to be unaffected.
Fortunately, the child was young and didn’t know he was abducted, otherwise he would definitely have psychological trauma.
Bai Lu touched the chubby babies' faces and kissed them one by one. After giving seven kisses in total, she sighed.
I have to go to town when I have time and take my seven babies to the doctor for a thorough check-up.
It would be bad if the incense harmed the seven children.
After all, the incense Zhang bought was relatively cheap, and it was not known whether it had any harm.
With such a large amount, adults would faint, so she didn’t know what the children would be like.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door, and Mr. Bai said slowly outside the door.
"It's dad."
"Dad came in to tell you something."
Bai Lu said simply and decisively: "I don't want to see you."
"This matter is not negotiable."
"...Mr. Bai laughed, and then he said gloomily outside the door: "It's about your biological parents."
"..."
Bai Lu was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, the door was opened by Bai Lu.
Old Master Bai walked slowly over with a bundle. He closed the door and locked it.
Bai Lu said with some caution: "Now, don't try to strangle my children one by one. If you do anything to our children, I will not let you go."
Mr. Bai nodded and said woodenly: "Now my whole family's life is in your hands, what dare I do?"
"This bundle contains things related to your biological parents. In fact, your mother and I are not your biological parents."
As he said this, he opened the bundle directly on the kang, and inside was a golden hairpin.
The gold hairpin is exquisitely crafted with filigree workmanship, and has a golden phoenix with pearl tassels underneath.
The golden hairpin with the plump pearls is very heavy. This hairpin must have cost several hundred taels of silver.
And anyone who dares to be a golden phoenix must be a noble.
Mr. Bai's expression was normal, with nothing unusual at all. He didn't seem to know Fenghuang.
Then Mr. Bai said, "This hairpin belongs to your biological mother."
"You weren't actually born by your mother. Zhang gave birth to a stillborn baby at eight months old. We were both very sad... but not long after, a person wearing a bamboo hat came in. She was holding a baby girl, you. She said she was your mother."
"She handed the baby girl to Zhang and told us that if we were willing to raise her for the rest of her life, she would give us two hundred taels of silver."
"This hairpin is worth more than 200 taels of silver. We wanted to sell it, but your mother said that if we sell it, it might be noticed. So we plan to wait until the boys get married before selling it."
"By then, after more than a decade, the origin of this hairpin will be unknown."
"Yes, this hairpin does look a bit old."
Bai Lu was stunned.
So who is that person?"
Mr. Bai shook his head and said, "Yeah, we didn't know either. Later, we secretly inquired and found that there were no pregnant women giving birth in the county at that time, so we just thought it was a child born by a concubine of a wealthy businessman from another place."
Old Master Bai looked at Bai Lu with complicated eyes, and Bai Lu fell into silence.
What kind of concubine is this? If she were a concubine of a wealthy businessman, who would wear a hairpin like this?!
It's obvious that he is a nobleman, they are not of the same level.
Bai Lu nodded. "So what do you want to say by bringing these things here today?"
Mr. Bai said in a deep voice: "I am willing to return this hairpin to you, but please release Zhang and Bai Ergou and the other two, so that they can survive."
Bai Lu smiled and said, "What biological mother, biological father? I have lived in this world for so many years because of my hard work in the Bai family day and night!"
"Ever since I was three years old and could sweep the floor, you two have been forcing me to work every day, from morning till night, without a break. When things were going well, I could have two meals a day, but when things were not going well, I could have none at all."
"All these years, I have survived by my own hands."
"Parents who give birth to children but don't raise them are not parents anymore, so why should I look for them?!"
"Now that I have children, I don't want to think about those things. I just want to raise my children."
"..."
Old Master Bai was stunned when he heard Bai Lu's words.
"But...but but..."
"If you didn't have January, February, and the others, wouldn't you feel sad? Dad and Mom definitely love you!"
Bai Lu smiled.
“How do I know if they are hurting?”
"Just because I have never met my parents, who have not found me for more than ten years and abandoned me, should I let go of the person who hurt my daughter?"
"You know, they almost killed my four daughters!"
“I have four daughters!!!”
"If I hadn't been pregnant with so many children, I'm afraid I wouldn't have any daughters now! But just because I'm pregnant with so many children doesn't mean I can kill my children at will!"
"I'm still a widow, how can you let me survive in this world?!"
“People exist not to pursue the past, but to cherish every moment of the present, and to be worthy of who you are now.”
"..."
Mr. Bai was shocked. He pointed at Bai Lu and said tremblingly: "You...you you...! It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!"
But he did not leave. Instead, he took out five hundred taels of silver from his pocket tremblingly. The moment he took out the silver, his face began to turn gloomy.
"These five hundred taels of silver notes...are what that noble man left behind. Now they are all given to you!"
He originally kept this money to support himself and his son in his old age. At that time, Zhang didn't know about the banknotes.
It was originally one thousand taels, but over the years he had spent all the money on brothels in Lianhua Town, leaving only five hundred taels.
"Five hundred taels...release Zhang and Bai Ergou."
