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

"But it also depends on the person. How about I treat you to a meal next?"

Mrs. Luo nodded with a smile, "No problem, no problem, anything is fine."

She was eating at Bailu's house anyway, and everything she ate and drank belonged to Bailu's family, so she didn't want to mention these conditions at all.

Besides, she has some money on her hands and she doesn't care about these benefits.

Bai Lu said to them, "Thank you for your hard work in recent times. If our store's business continues to be good, I will give you more benefits next month."

"Twenty cents. If you think it's too little, as you work for me for a long time, I will increase your wages by five cents each, to twenty-five cents a day."

"Ms. Luo, your salary will also increase. Your current salary is 40 cents a day. Then, I will increase your salary by 5 cents, to 45 cents a day."

Everyone looked at Bai Lu happily.

"Thank you, shopkeeper!!"

"..."

Just as they were talking, Gu Liang came back.

He was kept in the academy for a while by the teacher today, so he didn't catch up with their lecture, and Bai Lu said to Gu Liang, "Gu Liang, if you help, I will pay you separately when the time comes."

But Gu Liang’s wages... are a bit complicated to calculate, because he usually does odd jobs in their milk tea shop.

Just like other people have regular jobs, Mrs. Luo makes milk tea, and the village chief and the other four help to clean up the dishes.

But Gu Liang would sometimes help give some advice, to see if there was anything that needed to be improved in the store, whether the taste needed to be improved, or whether there was anything that needed to be improved in the decoration of the store...

I also helped distribute flyers and other things. It was really too much work.

So Bai Lu paid Gu Liang separately. If he helped for an hour and was tired, she would give him five cents.

If it's easier, then give him three cents.

If it is a more technical job, then it will be counted separately.

On this day, Bai Lu decided to let Gu Liang wait at the dock tomorrow while people from the next town transported the furniture over.

She ordered some tables in the system mall, and planned to add a hundred tables directly to the 300-square-meter house, for a total of 150 tables, filling the house.

In this way, their milk tea shop will be able to handle the busyness.

When Gu Liang heard this, he nodded seriously, "Okay."

"We'll be on break soon. I'll have New Year's Day off in a few days, and I'll come over then and help you all day long."

Bai Lu smiled and said to Gu Liang: "You don't have to help me all day, you just need to help me write some flyers."

"I'll give you some extra money."

"If you need any money for your studies later... I can lend it to you."

"You have to study hard."

"Isn't the exam coming up this year? If you pass, all of us, including my aunt, will be very happy."

When Gu Liang heard this, he scratched his head shyly and nodded heavily: "Okay!"

Anyway, his teacher at the academy told him that he would definitely pass the exam and become a scholar, so he must work hard to become a scholar and bring honor to his mother.

And he also has to pass the exam to help Bai Lu.

If he could pass the examination and become a scholar, it would prove that he had a promising future. If he had a promising future, his mother would be blessed and enjoy the happiness.

And Bai Lu can also enjoy the good life with him.

As long as he has a certain level of fame, he can propose to Bai Lu...and then they can be together.

Before, he was still thinking that a scholar should be able to be with Bai Lu.

But later he no longer thought so, because Bai Lu was really good at making money. She was so capable on her own.

He could earn several hundred taels of silver in just one day by running a shop, which was simply impossible for a scholar to earn.

I guess both the county magistrate and the town mayor can't make as much money as Bai Lu.

So since Bai Lu is so capable, he must also be working hard to climb up and be worthy of Bai Lu.

He knew that he was just a small errand boy working for Bai Lu and was not worthy of Bai Lu at all.

I must pass the exam to become a scholar! A juren! A top scholar!!! Then I can marry Bai Lu home, it would be so wonderful.

"..."

Today ended perfectly. Bai Lu asked Grandpa Li to send the village chief and other three people back home in a ox cart, and also paid for their cart fare.

The fare for the four of them was only three or five cents each time, not much money.

By doing this, Bai Lu only improved their favorability towards each other.

Afterwards, Bai Lu went to a restaurant and bought a big pork elbow, and some other side dishes, pork elbows, roast chicken, roast duck... and fried a few eggs given by the system.

He has a lot of eggs, all given by the system.

The system has sent a lot of things this year, and the goat milk powder has piled up into a mountain. Even if a lot of it is sold, it is still enough for the little ones to drink.

We even have a lot of goat milk powder at home now.

As for the eggs, it’s no exaggeration to say that she weighs several hundred kilograms.

It could almost fill up his entire house and there wasn’t even enough space.

The eggs were usually piled up in the system's space, and from time to time she would take out a large basket of eggs.

Put a lot of oil in the pan, then beat ten eggs and fry them in a large pot.

After it was done, they relaxed for a while, sat down and started eating.

This time, more food was prepared than usual because there were two more children in Bailu's family, Leng Bingnian and the little prince.

These two children were just injured, so Bai Lu gave them two large chopsticks of eggs, a lot of chicken and duck meat, and two large pieces of elbow skin, and smiled at them kindly.

"Eat quickly."

"...Eat quickly and heal your wounds as soon as possible."

During this period of time, she also got to know the two children and their family backgrounds.

It was later learned that the young prince was a fool and his family background was unknown.

(In fact, he kept saying that he was the younger brother of the empress and the emperor, but people didn’t believe him and thought he was an idiot.)

Leng Bingnian's father was killed by a mad wolf in the valley. His mother raised him alone, but not long ago, she was killed by a group of people... It seemed that she was killed by bandits. Leng Bingnian's words were very vague.

Otherwise she wouldn't have guessed who it was.

Since these two children are so pitiful, why not let them stay and let them keep the moon company.

Bai Lu also had some selfish motives. She felt that Leng Bingnian was not an ordinary child because he could make several wolves so obedient and chase away Old Lady Zhou and Zhou Xiaonuan.

Ordinary people can't control the wolf in her house.

Even among the seven moons, January is often with Xiaohong, but not often with the other six wolves, so the other six wolves are not particularly close to January.

If January plays with the other six wolves, he can rest assured that they will not hurt their family members.

But if you want to order them to do something, such as asking a few wolves to accompany January to poop, then the other wolves will not do it.

But January and Xiaohong have a very close relationship. They can even sleep back to back.

From this we can see that Leng Bingnian is not an unusual child. He can command so many wolves at such a young age, so he will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.

It's better to keep a gifted child like him around. It would be nice if he could become their family's bodyguard or butler in the future.

Bai Lu had a certain plan for doing business. She felt that she could definitely become the richest person in the town.

Like now, she has a savings of about 12,000 taels, so she is one of the wealthier people in the whole town.

In this case, she also needs to be careful about whether there might be thieves in their house. Relying on seven wolves alone won't be enough, so Leng Bingnian should stay for the time being.

Besides, his mother and father are both dead, he has no parents, and is basically a poor homeless child...If Bai Lu doesn't take him in, who will?

There is also the little prince. Although he is very young, can't speak clearly, and is a little demented, Bai Lu thinks that such a young child is quite likable.

The most important thing is that he is such a young child without a father or a mother, and he is also mentally retarded. Who can take him in? !

So Bai Lu took Leng Bingnian and the little prince in their home.

In fact, Bailu people are not that kind, but in the current situation, if she doesn't take in these two children, they will have to beg on the streets in this cold weather and become beggars.

So Bai Lu thought, even if something happened to their family in the future and they could no longer take in these two children, they should keep them for the time being and give them a full meal.

At least we can't let them starve to death, right?

The two children devoured the meat ravenously.

Bai Lu glanced at the two of them and told them, "It's really too late now. You've already had dinner at night. This is just a midnight snack. Don't eat too much."

"Otherwise, the food will be difficult to digest."

Leng Bingnian and the little prince both nodded. Although they both ate in a rather voracious manner, they were both quite elegant.

Although they had suffered a lot along the way, in fact, they both came from wealthy families.

"..."

Look at the way they eat. Gu Liang next to them glanced at them, feeling a little curious and a little doubtful.

None of his classmates in the academy had these noble qualities.

He immediately said, "...that White Lady, where did you get these two little guys?"

"..."

Madam Luo quickly rebuked Gu Liang and told him not to speak for the time being.

What if he accidentally touched the wounds of these two children?

Gu Liang received the look and stopped talking.

When they finished their meal and Bai Lu and Gu Liang were both free, Madam Luo went to pick up the dishes and chopsticks. After Bai Lu and she cleaned up, she immediately went to coax Leng Bingnian and the little prince to sleep.

The place where the two of them slept was a new bed in the bedroom, which was moved by Bai Lu from the system mall. They slept on the new big bed, and the two children slept soundly.

In the bedroom, although Qiyue is only one year old, men and women should not be allowed to touch each other. So Bailu thought about it and simply put up a curtain to separate the two beds. This is not a bad idea.

However, after Bai Lu and the others had some free time, Gu Liang specially called the two of them to the outermost room.

Zhao Cuicui was eating pastries on the side, and she looked a little fatter than before.

He asked Bai Lu directly: "...those two kids don't look like ordinary people to me."

When Bai Lu heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.

"I also think that he is not an ordinary person. It is really extraordinary that the two of them could survive the hands of human traffickers."

When Gu Liang heard this, he immediately said to Bai Lu, "Then they might be children of high-ranking officials and nobles."

"Look, they both eat so elegantly. It's hard to raise such elegant children from ordinary families like us."

Hearing this, Madam Luo couldn't help laughing.

“How could they be children of some wealthy family?

Gu Liang, are you worrying too much? "

"If they were really a wealthy family, how could they have lost it?"

Bai Lu also nodded with a smile, "I also think that it shouldn't be possible."

"They both wore coarse clothes."

"When they were rescued...I saw what clothes they were wearing."

"..."

But Gu Liang didn't believe it at all.

He quickly said to Bai Lu: "I really think that these two are not ordinary children."

"Because how can ordinary kids not be suspicious when they see you eating lavish meals?!"

"If a child from an ordinary family saw meat, his eyes would light up, just like a starving ghost reincarnated. It's completely different."

"Aren't they just like starving ghosts reincarnated?"

"It's different. I haven't eaten meat for a long time, so my reaction is different from theirs!"

"..."

When Bai Lu heard this, she looked at Gu Liang with some curiosity.

She had never seen a child from a wealthy family, but since she traveled through time from the modern era, she was actually a child from a wealthy family, after all.

Modern people can eat delicious food anytime and anywhere, but people in ancient times could not. So when I saw those children not eating voraciously, I indeed overlooked this point.

She thought for a while, then said, "But when they came, they did wear coarse clothes."

"And if that's what you said, then when you encountered meat before, didn't you eat it in such a voracious manner? Your performance was also not bad. We are all children from ordinary families."
