In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.
Chapter 33: Mrs. Zhou was finally scolded away by the villagers
"Oh my god, this must be the aftereffect of that incense."
"Oh my god, this little Yiyue is so pitiful. If she becomes stupid, she will have to spend a lot of money on medicine in the future!"
"......Hey, I heard that there is a stupid son in the Stone Village next door. No matter how much money and medicine he spent, he still couldn't make it. Now he needs help with clothes and food!
His mother didn't do farm work all year round and just took care of the child. As a result, the child fell through the ice and fell into the river last winter. When he was fished out of the river, he had a fever and froze to death!
This is a waste of time and money, and I don’t know what Bai Lu should do alone.”
"..."
The villagers shook their heads, sighed, and then began to persuade.
"Mrs. Zhou! Mrs. Zhou, since your eldest son has appeared in a dream, it is possible that something is wrong with these girls... Otherwise, you should quickly take Bai Lu and these girls back to your home."
The others nodded and said, "Yes."
"Take Bailu and the seven girls back to your home. If you treat them seriously as children in the future, there will be nothing stupid about them."
"...Let's be honest, there are people who are here to help, right?"
"We can't let Bai Lu take care of seven children alone and work herself to death, right?"
"..."
What they said was so scary that Old Mrs. Zhou turned pale when she heard it!
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
And her sons and daughters-in-law are already getting anxious!
Zhou Laoer's daughter-in-law immediately spoke anxiously to everyone.
"This...you guys are talking nicely. If you were Bai Lu's sisters-in-law, would you be able to help take care of her?!"
"If her seven daughters are all stupid, then our family won't have to do any work!"
"What about working in the fields, growing vegetables, and raising chickens.
How about...don't do anything, just focus on her daughter!"
The third son's wife sneered and said, "You guys don't have to do anything, so you can only talk here. We are miserable."
The fourth son’s wife: “If you keep talking, you will have to pay to help raise the child!”
"..."
The people in the village kept silent. This was indeed true, and the words were true.
Old Madam Zhou looked unhappy. Could it be that... Bai Lu's silver could not be taken out? If Bai Lu did not return to the Zhou family, how could she get the 50 taels of silver? !
Never mind, let’s just trick Bai Lu’s name out first.
Old Madam Zhou sighed and said, "...Alas, Bailu is so hard to live like this."
"I also can't bear to let the eldest son's children and the eldest son's widow live like this. Why don't we find a compromise?"
"Didn't Mr. Bai give some silver to Bai Lu before? Bai Lu, just take out the silver and give it to me. I will use it to treat your child's illness.
In this way, you don't have to spend your sisters-in-law's money. At most, you only need to give them two or three cents each for running errands.
If you need our help to take care of it in the future, then we will help take care of it."
"Who made me get into trouble with you? Who made the boss leave so early?!"
"Don't worry, mother won't take your money in front of everyone."
As she spoke, Old Lady Zhou gave Bai Lu a seemingly kind smile.
Bai Lu sneered in her heart, what a shameless guy.
He actually mentioned the 50 taels of silver to my face.
Fortunately, they don’t know that I’m doing business. If they knew, they would probably come here every day to make a scene and ask for money.
But I guess she can't act like a spoiled brat anymore. I'll wait until next spring to buy a few wolves and put them in the yard. Let's see if she dares to act like a spoiled brat again? !
And I guess I will have moved out of here by the beginning of next spring.
Bai Lu smiled coldly and said to Old Lady Zhou, "Don't worry about this, mother. After all, I can take the 50 taels of silver myself. Even if I hire the village head's wife to help me look after the child for a month, it will only be 300 or 500 wen."
"Fifty taels of silver is enough to last for a while. I don't want to be a burden to my mother, and I still have several sisters-in-law."
"..."
When the people around heard this, some of the smart ones probably figured out what was going on, and they immediately laughed and said.
"Mrs. Zhou, you are really generous."
“How about this, if you are so willing to help Bai Lu, then you can help Bai Lu look after the child for a few days or a few months for free.
"That's right, why do you have to let Bai Lu go back to Zhou's house? Why don't you just live in this shabby house for a while?"
"Anyway, the Zhou family can't accommodate so many people. With the eldest daughter-in-law and seven children, how much space will they need to sleep?"
"If you are so willing to take care of people, then you should move in more often to take care of them, and don't let Bai Lu go back to the Zhou family."
"...Did you see that? Their house is surrounded by this fence. If you want to take care of Bai Lu and her mother, you can just replace the fence with a wall. It will look better."
"......Also, replace all the bedding in the room with new ones. Don't sleep on the old ones."
"The cotton in Bailu's baby's swaddling clothes is all worn out. Let's just replace them all."
"..."
The villagers looked at Old Lady Zhou and the Zhou family with a wicked smile.
"..."
Mrs. Zhou couldn't hold back her expression anymore. She immediately said, "What does this have to do with you?"
The villagers laughed.
"That's none of your business."
"We helped to decorate Bai Lu's house inside and out. The tiles, the courtyard wall, and the fence. When did you ever send someone to help?!"
"What you said sounds good. Now we understand. You just want money, don't you?!"
"Seeing 50 taels of silver, he got jealous... What if we were all stupid and didn't know what was going on?!"
"Get out of here, get out of here!!!"
As they said that, the villagers picked up big sticks, and some even picked up the dung forks from the toilet, and wanted to fork away Old Lady Zhou and the others.
Old Mrs. Zhou and the people of the Zhou family were driven away in disgrace.
Bai Lu just stood there, looking coldly at Old Lady Zhou and her children. She just thought it was very funny.
At this moment, if it were the original owner, he would have been eaten until not even a bone was left.
People in this ancient society were really shameless. They thought filial piety was more important than anything else and they could use it to control themselves at will.
