The village chief spoke in support of Bai Lu, and the villagers nodded in sympathy, saying, "Bai Lu is a widow, raising seven children by herself. How hard it must be to feed seven mouths!"

"Yes, she just gave birth to a child and she hasn't even taken care of herself yet! But you, a bunch of heartless bastards, threw her directly into an abandoned house where no one lives!"

"That broken house is full of leaks. I don't know what kind of illness she will suffer from in the future. She might not even survive this winter."

"Hey, we have to help Bai Lu get these ten taels of silver back no matter what. Bai Lu's husband used to have a good reputation in the village... He was a very honest man."

"...Yes, that young man was so good, but it's a pity that he died on the front line. Alas, Bai Lu is also a girl who has never enjoyed happiness."

"Fellow villagers, we are all from the same village, we should at least help each other out. If we don't, how will Bai Lu and her seven children survive?!"

"Hurry up, Zhou family, take out the money!"

"..."

The three daughters-in-law were stunned when they saw this scene!

Now everyone around them is spitting and pointing fingers at the Zhou family.

The three daughters-in-law knew before that their mother-in-law was going to throw Bai Lu out, but their mother-in-law was not afraid of those rumors, so they didn't take it seriously.

If you have anything to say, just blame your mother-in-law. It was her who did it anyway.

But the embarrassing thing now is... my mother-in-law has fainted, and there is no one to resist the fire.

The three young girls had to endure all the rumors and gossip, and face the pointing and talking of everyone in the village... The three daughters-in-law were covered in feces, and they just stood there, feeling extremely ashamed! It was extremely embarrassing!

They have never been so embarrassed in their lives!

The second daughter-in-law couldn't help but shouted: "We really gave ten taels of silver before!!!"

The third daughter-in-law nodded, feeling very aggrieved. "Yes, we really gave ten taels of silver. The three of us were watching, and it was us who delivered the silver."

“It’s true!”

The fourth daughter-in-law gritted her teeth and said, "What I said is true. We really gave the money!"

"It was even Bai Lu herself who was sharp-tongued at the time, asking her mother-in-law for it!"

But after hearing this, the villagers in the village didn't believe it at all!

They all said, "You three sisters-in-law are not good people! If you were good, you would not let your sister-in-law be bullied like this."

"Yes, when Bai Lu was pregnant, she was still working in the fields. These three daughters-in-law were fatter than her before they were pregnant, but Bai Lu herself became as thin as a bag of bones!"

"These three are not good people either. You can't trust what they say."

"That's right, they are definitely speaking for Old Lady Zhou. We can't believe what they say."

Zhang listened to those people complaining and immediately felt proud.

"That's right, how can these people speak with any accuracy?!"

"Her mother-in-law, Old Lady Zhou, was bragging, saying that she gave Bai Lu ten taels of silver. Where is that silver?!"

"Where's the silver?!!"

“Why didn’t I see it!!!”

As she spoke, her hands clapped loudly.

"Anyway, today! If you can't come up with these ten taels of silver, you all won't have to stay in this village anymore!"

"I will definitely seek justice for my daughter!"

"..."

"Yes, I will definitely seek justice for Bai Lu!"

People in the village pointed at the three daughters-in-law and talked about them.

At this time, the husbands of the three daughters-in-law, that is, Bai Lu's three brothers-in-law, came back.

They were carrying hoes and hurried back with their father when they heard that something happened here. When they saw their wives and mother in this state... they were dumbfounded.

Along with him came Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou is quite prestigious in the village. He has several sons and is very strong.

He frowned, his face turned pale, and spoke to everyone in a deep voice.

"What happened?!"

After everyone complained that Mr. Zhou didn't treat his daughter-in-law well and abused her, Mr. Zhou looked very upset.

He felt the back of his head begin to go numb and his face was burning.

He frowned and said with some pain: "...In that case, take out the ten taels of silver."

He didn't think that Old Lady Zhou would give him ten taels of silver.

He knew that Old Madam Zhou was not kind to Bai Lu, and he also knew Bai Lu's personality. How could he have thought that it was Bai Lu herself who asked Old Madam Zhou for the ten taels of silver?

I just want them to give the ten taels of silver to Bai Lu as soon as possible!

As long as they threw the silver, these people would disperse... Otherwise, could they really let the villagers keep pointing fingers at them?!

He has been very proud all his life, he won't lose face!

Moreover, if they can't come up with the money, the people in the village will stigmatize them for the rest of their lives!

The other people in the Zhou family were all dumbfounded!

Except for Mr. Zhou who had been working in the fields and was not aware of the specific situation, the three sons and daughters-in-law of the Zhou family all knew clearly that Bai Lu was willing to go out only after Mrs. Zhou really took ten taels of silver.

They hurriedly stepped forward quietly, unable to help but whispered: "Dad, we really took the silver..."

"What silver did you take?!"

Old Master Zhou frowned. Didn’t he know what kind of person Old Madam Zhou was?

"Hurry up and go to the house to get the silver!"

The three daughters-in-law wanted to say something more when they heard the midwife who delivered Bai Lu in the crowd speak silently.

"Not only did you not give Bai Lu the money, you also didn't give me the money for delivering the baby."

"When you invited me here, you saw that the baby was seven little girls, so you kicked me out.

You haven't paid me yet."

"???"

Everyone was confused!

"Good fellow, he didn't even pay the midwife."

Everyone couldn't help but open their eyes wide in surprise, and then continued to insult Old Lady Zhou on the ground with expressions of extreme contempt.

"This old lady Zhou is really a piece of shit. Not only does she abuse her daughter-in-law, she also treats the villagers the same way. She even refuses to pay a midwife."

"That's right! If that's the case, no midwife in the surrounding villages would dare to come to her house."

"Really? They didn't even pay the midwife, and you still have the nerve to say that they really paid the ten taels of silver?!"

"Hurry up and get the money!"

"..."

The daughters-in-law of the Zhou family were suffering so much that they could not say anything. They really paid ten taels of silver to Bai Lu, but none of these people believed it? !

It was all her mother-in-law's fault. Why didn't she pay the midwife back then? !

If I had paid the midwife the money at that time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been beaten so hard!

Besides, she is usually very stingy, otherwise how could she have such a bad reputation! She said she didn't pay, and everyone believed she didn't pay!

Damn it, even if I really gave money now, I would be wrongly accused of not giving it!

The three daughters-in-law wanted to dawdle, but Mr. Zhou couldn't hold back his pride anymore and urged them, "Hurry up!"

The second daughter-in-law reluctantly took out the silver and handed it to the village chief.

The village chief nodded in satisfaction, and said to them: "Okay, then I will go to Bai Lu's house and deliver the silver to him. You all can go home now."
