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

"Five hundred taels of silver?"

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then she laughed, her laugh was full of meaning, "My dear father, you have a trick up your sleeve."

"Okay, since I have these five hundred taels, I can release them and let them live."

Mr. Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

"But."

Bai Lu added: "It's not like it's just for nothing."

"Zhang and Bai Ergou will have to stay in jail for a while."

"????"

"You...you...you're going too far! You've taken all my money! You have to do something for me!"

Old Mr. Bai was puffing his beard and glaring.

Then I heard Bai Lu slowly say.

"If we don't let them die and let them survive, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the county magistrate and the mayor, so this is the only way."

"If you go to the town to discuss it, I'm afraid it will be the same."

"Otherwise, where will the county magistrate and the mayor save their faces?"

"At least you have to stay in jail for a while before you can give an account."

When the old man heard Bai Lu bring up the county magistrate and the mayor, he stopped talking. He nodded silently, "Okay then."

Then just stay alive.

Bai Lu nodded with a smile.

After Mr. Bai left, she stared at the five hundred taels of silver on the kang in a daze, feeling around for it carefully.

Five hundred taels... Five hundred taels at once. It seems that her parents are not ordinary people.

Bai Lu couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. If he was going to abandon her, why should he give her money?

Oh... my head hurts. I don’t want to think about it anymore. The past is the past, and the present is the present.

All she had to do was to raise all seven children plump and healthy, protect them and prevent them from any harm.

I will save money to start a business, buy a big house and let my children move out.

These five hundred taels plus the more than 100 taels of silver in his pocket would be just enough to serve as his start-up capital.

midnight.

When Bai Lu changed the children's diapers, she took out 120 taels of silver from the bag.

"?"

She rubbed her eyes, confused.

How come there are still 120 taels of silver in it? !

After taking a closer look at the two guys, they were none other than May and July, whom Bai Qingze had been holding in his arms before. So, presumably, this silver must have been given by Bai Qingze to their mother.

Is Mr. Bai so good? !

Bai Lu felt a little touched, and then she thought that if she met Master Bai Qingze next time, she should treat him to a meal.

120 taels of silver is really not a small amount.

In other words, the total amount of silver he had now was 802 taels and 455 wen, which was a huge amount.

It will be 1000 taels of silver soon!

And she has only been in the ancient world for about a month.

Great! Having money and children makes life wonderful!

......

The next day, Bai Lu told the village chief about her idea.

The village chief thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Then stay in jail for a while... That's good too, it's good for your reputation."

"And I guess Mr. Bai has already given you some silver to support your family."

Bai Lu nodded and said with a smile.

"Yes, I was given 50 taels of silver."

"When the children grow up, I plan to take these 50 taels of silver to the town to find a house and rent one. This way, my children will be safer."

"Otherwise, with such a shabby house, I'm really afraid that some day some beggar will take the children away."

She can't tell others that she bought the house, she has to say she rented it.

"...50 taels of silver should be all the savings of the Bai family, right?"

The village chief's mouth twitched, but it was normal.

He nodded. Given Bai Lu's personality, she took away all four of Bai Lu's children and almost sold them. No one could do that without giving her more money.

The village chief had no doubts and said, "Well, let's go to the town today and tell the mayor to tell the county magistrate not to execute him immediately."

Bai Lu nodded with a smile: "Okay."

They went to town early this morning in a bullock cart.

The village chief took Bai Lu to see the mayor.

The mayor's house.

The mayor's house is a seven-courtyard house that looks very grand and luxurious.

Moreover, the blue bricks and black tiles have an antique style, and the walls outside the house are snow-white, built up bit by bit with bricks.

It looks magnificent and elegant.

The servant outside initially wanted to stop the village chief and Bai Lu because they were both wearing too shabby clothes. But when he heard that this was the village chief of Xiaohe Village... he remembered the instructions from the town mayor before, saying that if anyone from Xiaohe Village came to see the town mayor, they must not stop them.

The servants quickly let the village chief and Bai Lu in.

Then they met the mayor.

In the main hall.

When the fat mayor saw that it was Bai Lu, he immediately ignored the village chief next to him and greeted her with a smile, "Hey, isn't this you? Isn't this Miss Bai Lu?!"

"Sit down, sit down."

How did the wind bring you here today? ! "

As he said that, he smiled and served tea and pastries to Bai Lu.

"?"

The servants next to them were all confused.

What? Bailu is the village chief?

Isn't it said that the guy next to him is the village chief?!

"..."

The village chief felt a little embarrassed.

Bai Lu hurriedly pulled the village chief to sit down together, and then Bai Lu slowly spoke and simply told him about releasing Zhang and Bai Ergou.

The mayor then hesitated, "Then... why?"

The village chief smiled.

After all, they are her biological mother and brother. If she kills them like this, how will she and these children survive in the village? "

"Won't the clan elders be pointing fingers at the seven of them for the rest of their lives?!"

"So of course he has to be released."

"I see!"

The mayor nodded and said quickly, "Then I'll go tell the county magistrate later."

Last night, the mayor and the county magistrate were both chirping the whole night. They were all wondering whether Miss Bai Lu's seven children were Mr. Bai's!

It should be Mr. Bai's, otherwise it is impossible for a person like Mr. Bai to hold a farmer's child.

But now, Mr. Bai’s own daughter cannot have her reputation ruined, so they will have to release Zhang and Bai Ergou.

"Then after that, sentence them to a few years in jail. If they behave well, they will be released."

Bai Lu nodded and smiled: "You really are the master of clear soup."

"Hehehehe, thank you very much."

After saying this, the village chief rode back on the ox cart.

Bai Lu bought 20 kilograms of meat and various vegetables before he went back and asked the village chief to take them back.

Bai Lu said with a smile: "When I get back, I will cook a meal for everyone and invite everyone to attend the full moon banquet for me and my child."

"No need to give gifts, no need to give gifts."

The village chief smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll take these things back."

There would be no need to make Bai Lu so troubled in the future. They could just cook it themselves and eat it when Bai Lu comes back. Anyway, the money is spent by Bai Lu.

Next, Bai Lu planned to find Mr. Chen, the owner of the North-South Grocery Store, to ask him how the pearls were collected.

Also, she has more than just pearls; she has other things to resell.
