In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.
Chapter 6 Selling Bai Lu's Child
Seeing that the money was finally returned, the people from the Zhou family returned quickly, looking a little embarrassed.
The villagers also scattered.
Only Zhang and the three boys from the Bai family stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the village chief with sparkling eyes and a particularly hypocritical smile.
"Village chief, why don't you give this silver to me, my old lady? I will give it to my daughter later, so that she can live a more comfortable life with her seven children."
"I'll do it! I'll do it! You're already old, I'm sorry to trouble you to make such a trip."
The village chief looked at Zhang and glanced at her with a cold expression.
"You really know how to love a girl."
"You never paid much attention to your girl in the past."
"When Bai Lu got married, she was only given a quilt... If we didn't know she was your biological daughter, we would have thought you picked her up."
When Zhang heard the three words "picked up", her face changed.
She said quickly, "Of course she is my biological child...Of course she is my biological child! I will just take the silver to Bai Lu."
As she said this, she was about to snatch the silver from the village chief.
At this time, the village chief cleverly avoided Zhang's hand and said calmly: "That's not necessary. I can go to Bai Lu's house by myself."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go to Bai Lu's house, without paying any attention to Zhang and the three brothers of the Bai family.
……
Zhang looked at the village chief's back with a gloomy face. She frowned and said unhappily, "This old guy...he actually took the silver away!"
"I don't know whether to give it to Bai Lu or not."
Her tone was sour.
"The village chief should give it to Bai Lu."
The sons next to them had a bad smell on their bodies, and when they were holding the dung forks, dung got on their bodies.
Zhang listened to their words and immediately smiled slowly.
"Yes, the village chief is quite upright. He will definitely give the silver to Bai Lu."
"Since this money has come into Bai Lu's possession, I am his mother and you are his brothers, so she should use this money to help you find wives!"
"It's not convenient for us to ask for money these days. After all, the money has been disclosed to the villagers... If we ask for money so soon, Bai Lu might make a scene and we might get criticized."
"In a few days, we'll go and ask for the money!"
Bai Ergou couldn't help but said, "...But mother, if we ask for money in a few days, won't the money I use to marry my wife be spent by Bai Lu to buy goat milk for those seven money-losing bastards?!"
"How can she support seven money-losing guys by herself?!"
Bai Sangou couldn't help but nodded.
"Yes, mother, if she spends all this money, what will we do?"
"... Seven little money-losing bastards, seven mouths, and they need to be fed six or seven times a day. How many kilograms of goat milk are needed?!"
"These ten taels of silver may seem like a lot, but if you drink goat milk, which is 22 wen per pound and more expensive than meat, it won't last long."
Zhang frowned and said impatiently.
"Why are you talking so much!"
"I'm telling you, if we can get the money, we can get it. If she doesn't have enough money by then, we can just sell the remaining girls!"
"Sell her to a brothel, and the brothel's madam can train her from childhood! Although we get less silver, we can still get ten taels of silver."
"At worst, I can just sell a few more. She gave birth to so many children anyway."
"Didn't the girl Wang from the next village that you mentioned earlier, Ergou, always want a ten-liang silver bracelet as a betrothal gift?
We can use these ten taels of silver to make her a silver bracelet, and then we can definitely marry that girl Wang! Let her serve you like a slave!"
When Bai Ergou heard this, he immediately said happily: "Thank you, mother. Thank you, mother!"
The third and fourth dogs looked at each other and fell into deep thought, their eyes filled with unclear greed.
They will also get married in two years, later than Ergou. Then I will see if I can ask my sister to raise some money for them... If she can't, I can sell a few nieces.
Anyway, Bai Lu gave birth to many children.
……
Bailu's home.
After a nap, the babies began to open their eyes and look at the world.
Three are crying, four are not crying.
Bai Lu picked up the three babies and swung them around.
"March, May, June, you are not allowed to cry!"
At this time, Bai Lu had already named the babies.
She said seriously: "From now on you will be called January, February, March, April, May, June and July.
“These names sound pretty good, and they have a moon in them, which suggests a bright future.”
"From now on, you should take my surname Bai, not your father's surname Zhou."
"Mother is your father, and father is your mother, do you hear me?"
The babies didn't understand Bai Lu's words at all and kept crying and stretching their necks.
Bai Lu and the system took turns to coax the seven babies and feed them some water.
Bai Lu was a little tired: "...I heard that babies often need to drink milk, are you hungry again?"
"That's possible. You can't feed him if he's hungry. He'll have food accumulation. Let's wait a little longer."
As soon as the system finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
This time it was the village chief.
The village chief's voice was very serious. He said to the house: "Bai Lu, are you there?"
Bai Lu was startled, then immediately shouted, "I'm here, Village Chief, come in quickly!"
The village chief did not come alone. He brought his wife with him. His wife was holding something in her hand, which was half a pound of brown sugar.
The village chief and his wife smiled gently at Bai Lu.
The village chief's wife came in first. She took a look at the seven children being fed by Bai Lu, and her eyes lit up.
"Oh, you have plenty of milk, the children are not hungry."
"This little face is so round and mellow."
"I've heard before that some women have enough milk to feed many children, one woman can feed six or seven! It seems that you can not only give birth, but also breastfeed."
"...but after a few days, the milk supply may be insufficient. Not every woman has sufficient milk all the time."
The village chief's wife kept on giving instructions, "If you have some spare money, it would be best if you could buy some goat milk at the market."
"This is half a pound of brown sugar, a little gift from our family.
It's not easy for you, a widow, to raise seven children by yourself. I'll give you this brown sugar to keep you healthy."
"Children need milk, breast milk, which means they eat your blood! Brown sugar must replenish your blood, otherwise your body will collapse first... How can you take care of seven children?"
Bai Lu was stunned, and a warm feeling passed through her heart.
Unexpectedly, the village chief's wife, who had never met her before, was so caring towards her and was willing to give her half a pound of brown sugar.
In that era, brown sugar was a very precious commodity. One pound cost 20 cents, and half a pound cost 10 cents.
Meat is only 10 cents per pound.
Bai Lu wanted to refuse, "No, this is too precious..."
The village chief's wife shook her head and insisted that Bai Lu accept it, "You can't afford any supplements, what can you do if you don't drink some brown sugar?!"
She said with some worry in her voice, “You will live alone from now on.
I can see that your parents and your in-laws... they won't accept you. You must take good care of yourself and at least be able to support your child."
After all, most families can’t afford to raise seven children, and Bai Lu has no one to help her, so what should she do?
Bai Lu felt warm in her heart.
She knew that if she didn't accept it today, it would probably reveal that she was rich, so Bai Lu accepted it with a touched look on her face.
Immediately afterwards, the village chief took out ten taels of silver and gave it to Bai Lu in full.
He told her, "And these ten taels of silver were obtained by your parents from your husband's family."
"You have to be careful with this money, don't let others cheat you out of it."
"You've given birth to seven children. Even though they're still small now, in a month or two, they'll have big appetites. You'll be lucky if you can feed one by yourself! By then, you might get ten kilograms of goat milk a day!"
"One pound of goat milk costs 22 coins, which is equivalent to 220 coins, ten taels of silver, which will be consumed in one or two months."
