In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.
Chapter 30 Bai Lu wants to save money to open a milk tea shop
After earning some money at the North-South Grocery Store, Bai Lu left.
Next time she comes, she will bring more pearls and some other goods to the shopkeeper.
Bai Lu touched her chin. She had previously supplied goat milk to Mingyue Tower, and the business of Mingyue Tower was so good. So what if she opened a unique milk tea shop in the whole Lianhua Town, specializing in making delicious drinks?
If you buy some raw materials from the system mall and open a national chain store, you will make a lot of money.
You can make milk tea or fruit tea, and you can also use flour, eggs, milk, and goat milk to make small cakes, desserts, and biscuits.
However, to open a milk tea shop or something like that, a small one would cost 500 taels, and a medium-sized one would cost 1000 taels. If you choose a better location, it might be even more expensive.
The 1000 taels she earned seemed like a lot on the surface, but if she wanted to do some business, it would not be enough.
This is still a profit. If it is a loss, how can you afford it without some capital? !
I have to save some money seriously.
The children are still young now. If she opens a shop, how will she take care of them? There are many things to do when opening a shop.
I am already so busy just supplying goat milk and reselling goods... I'd better wait until the children are a little older.
This is how I live until my children are one year old. I save money and resell things to earn some money.
She came out of the grocery store and returned to the village.
The carriage was shaking, and when it arrived in the village, Bai Lu found that the villagers were all gathered in her homes and were having a lively time.
Many villagers contributed their own pots, pans, and utensils, and women helped with cooking and looking after the children.
The man was helping Bai Lu find dead branches to make a fence and a wall around the yard.
Bai Lu was stunned when she saw the lively scene.
“What are you doing…?”
When the village chief looked up and saw Bai Lu coming back, he said with a smile.
"Isn't this just to help you, Bailu, build a courtyard wall?"
"You treated us to brown sugar drinks, bought us cakes, meat, and vegetables... You treated us to a meal, so we can't eat for free."
The other men all laughed and said, "That's right, we definitely can't eat your food for free."
"Your house is so dilapidated, we will think about it and help you fix it up!"
"The branches for the fence were cut from the mountains, and they're free! We have a lot of people, so we can help you make the fence. It will only take half an hour, and it will be thick!"
"So that others won't always worry about your child!"
"Yeah, if I really sell your child, what will you do?!"
"..."
Ever since the incident with Zhang and Bai Ergou, they have been very careful and told their families that after that, even if an acquaintance came to take the child away, they would not be allowed to do so.
You have to know that Bailu's father, mother and brother are so cruel that they want to take Bailu's own child away and sell it to marry their brother... Where in the world are there such parents? !
Some young wives have younger brothers, who are watched even more closely. The wives don't even want to look after their own children, for fear that their parents will take the children away and sell them.
Nowadays, although people generally prefer boys to girls, it doesn’t mean they want to sell girls.
The family is not so poor that we have to sell the child.
They were all indignant and secretly felt that Bai Lu was too miserable.
Everyone felt sorry for Bai Lu.
They thought about it. Bai Lu was an orphan with a widowed mother... a woman with seven children, and those seven children were not boys, so they would not be able to help Bai Lu with work when they grew up.
Bai Lu's husband is dead, and Bai Lu is a kind person...so why don't they help Bai Lu to build the fence?
Anyway, there are so many of them, and even if dozens of men work together to build the fence, it won’t take more than half an hour.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, these men had surrounded the 200-square-meter area around Bai Lu's house.
The fence was neatly built, leaving a large open space in front and behind Bai Lu's dilapidated house.
The village chief said to Bai Lu, "Such a large open space is great. You can raise some chickens, ducks and geese in the back. When spring comes, you can raise them!"
"In the front, you can grow some vegetables or something."
"I suggest you get a dog! That way you won't have thieves targeting your home."
Bai Lu nodded, and when spring comes she plans to buy some geese from the vegetable market and a few wolves from the system mall.
Anyway, the wolves bought from the system mall are definitely much more domesticated than wild wolves after being raised from childhood. In fact, they are no different from your own dogs.
Damn it, she was going to give each of her seven children a wolf!
She just couldn't believe that these seven children could be kidnapped by someone so easily! Whoever dared to take pictures of the beacons and take them away would be bitten to death by the wolves.
Bai Lu thought about it and nodded to the village chief with a smile, "Thank you very much, everyone."
Everyone shook their heads and said, "Oh, what are you thanking me for?"
While the men were busy, the enthusiastic aunties had prepared the meals.
After they were done, they all said excitedly: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"
The aroma of food wafts into the air.
The pork belly is made into braised pork. The seasoning here is relatively simple, but the meat is delicious, and the stewed potatoes are very fragrant.
Pork belly was the main dish, and we also had a few vegetarian dishes, celery with meat, lettuce with meat, shredded potatoes with leeks and eggs, winter melon bone soup...
These are very common dishes at home.
But if you add some shredded meat and plenty of oil, it can become a rare delicacy.
And there was also a plate of fried eggs.
These fried eggs are all made with home-grown eggs. The egg yolk is bright and yellow, and looks pleasing to the eye.
With so many dishes, we can squeeze 20 people onto one table, so there are seven tables in total.
Bai Lu only spent less than two taels of silver to prepare so many dishes for these seven tables.
But less than two taels of silver was a lot of silver for these farmers.
Looking at so many dishes, they couldn't help but say with a pinch of pain: "...Oh, how much money will this cost?!"
"Bai Lu, thank you so much now!"
"Yes, my mother is really willing to spend money on these seven months."
"I would be willing to do that. If my child was abducted by someone else and someone else helped and rescued the child, we would have to thank them."
"That's right, as long as the child is safe, that's all."
"..."
Everyone felt that Bai Lu was very open and considerate in her work.
Although she didn't have much money, she was willing to spend some money to treat everyone to a meal, and they were all very happy.
Although Bai Lu said before that no gift was needed, these aunts and men thought about it and decided... they definitely wouldn't give a gift, as they didn't have much money, but they couldn't eat Bai Lu's food for free either.
So they not only built the fence, but also a two-meter-high fence covering the courtyard of more than 200 square meters.
Moreover, some men secretly repaired the tiles of Bai Lu's broken house after finishing their meal.
For example, if there are loose or broken parts of wood or nails, we will help replace the boards or nails.
Some kind-hearted aunts checked the babies' butts and said to Bai Lu, "You have to look at their butts carefully. If there are any red spots, go to the barefoot doctor in time to buy some ointment to apply. Little girls are more particular than boys. " "If you don't have money, you can just use some oil to lubricate it."
"In short, if you are sick, you need to be treated."
"..."
Bai Lu nodded.
After listening to a few aunties chattering and imparting tips on parenting, Bai Lu suddenly realized that she seemed to lack knowledge in many areas.
If you don’t have a child yourself, you wouldn’t know that babies need to drink water when they are just born, they don’t just need milk.
If a baby only drinks milk, he will die of thirst.
I didn't know it at the time. If the system hadn't told me, I would have fed the children to death.
For example, breastfeeding also requires professional knowledge. As long as the posture is correct, the baby will not hurt his or her breasts.
She thought back to when she was breastfeeding before, and it was indeed a bit difficult and painful.
Fortunately, the child has not grown teeth at this time, otherwise it would be troublesome.
When they were talking about the critical moment, they saw Old Mrs. Zhou being carried on the back of Old Two Zhou, followed by Old Three and Old Four Zhou, and the three daughters-in-law also came together, all to Bai Lu's house.
