Chapter 4
Bai Muban and Mrs. Zhen guarded Xiao Fuyuan in the house, unaware that the entire Shenshu Village was already boiling.

There is no need to do farm work in winter, and the whole village has nothing to do at home.The news of Bai Muban and Zhen's birth daughter ignited the enthusiasm of the villagers for gossip, and they ran out of their homes one after another, telling each other with great interest——

"Old Bai's family can be regarded as having a female doll."

"Really?"

"Of course! In the morning, the village head's grandson saw Da Zhuang's father and mother holding a baby girl."

"Oh! It's not easy, the iron tree has finally bloomed."

"That's not right, the strong lady is called the old clam with pearls."

……

If you want to talk about Lao Bai's family, it is too famous in Shenshu Village.

Because, this family recruited too many sons.

Counting from Grandpa Bai Muban, all those who entered Lao Bai's house were children without exception.

This made other people in the village who couldn't bear a son go crazy with envy.Any family in the village who married a new wife would pay homage to Lao Bai's family, just to get pregnant.

Another one is that Lao Bai's family is poor.

That's not ordinary poverty.

It can be said that the family is poor.

The poor who count the rice grains in the pot when they eat
The old lady Bai often laments that there are only a group of boys left in the poor family.

At this time, Bai Dazhuang walked on the road with Bai Zhaomei and others carrying a fork net bag, which immediately attracted the attention of the whole village, and everyone followed them in groups, as if they were holding a press conference to ask questions.

"Da Zhuang, did your mother really bring you a younger sister?" An aunt opened the gossip.

"Then it's fake?" Bai Dazhuang looked happy.

Keep going.

"Da Zhuang, did your mother really give birth to a daughter?"

"gave birth."

After a while.

"Big Zhuang..."

"Village chief, stop asking? My mother gave birth to a younger sister." Bai Zhaomei raised her fork and took the initiative to answer for her elder brother.

"Stinky boy, I didn't call Zhaomei in vain, so I will welcome a younger sister." The village chief patted Bai Zhaomei's head.

Therefore, every few steps the Bai family brothers took, they were stopped by villagers and asked the same question, all the way to the village head.

Under a thousand-year-old tree at the head of the village, a group of women sat warming themselves.

Seeing Bai Dazhuang and others passing by, they waved in unison, gossip shining in their eyes.

Although they all know that the Bai family has given birth to a daughter, they still want to confirm it for the person concerned.

"Bai Dazhuang, what are you doing with the boys?"

"Go to the river to catch fish." Bai Dazhuang thought to himself, and finally stopped asking the question of his mother's birth.

Before he could take two steps——

"You really have a younger sister?"

Yep, same problem again.

"Really add a younger sister." Bai Dazhuang stopped in his tracks
"Your mother is really amazing, she can still be a girl at this age." Someone said.

"The amazing thing is Uncle Bai, who is more effective than young people. His physical strength..." Someone covered their mouths and smiled inexplicably.

"That's right, Da Zhuang may not be better than Dad."

Bai Dazhuang seemed to have a blush on his face, these aunts and aunts were too rough, they would be careless about everything, and they would crooked when they spoke.

Fortunately, the topic of this crooked building changed quickly.

"Da Zhuang, is your family going to get rich?" An old lady asked mysteriously.

This question made Bai Dazhuang dumbfounded, his family was dying of poverty, and there was no sign of getting rich at all.

"Is this girl from Lao Bai's family really expensive?"

"Hard to say?"

"Oh, it's unspeakably expensive, what character can be unspeakably expensive? In the scriptures, it describes the princess and queen."

"Only this poor corner of our village can produce princesses and queens? Just dream!"

"Believe it or not, I heard that the current queen mother was born as a peasant girl."

The main force of the melon-eating masses in Shenshu Village started talking about it.

Bai Dazhuang didn't realize it at first, but when they talked more and more outrageous, they started to think about it from unspeakably expensive to the queen dowager.

The big guy obviously refers to the words that the Taoist at Pojiao said to his father under the big tree in this lesson.

Why would an unattainable girl come to his family, and why this girl would make Lao Bai's family rich and wealthy.

"Auntie, you can't talk nonsense. My younger sister is just a country girl. Whether our family is rich or not has nothing to do with her, let alone the princess." Bai Dazhuang said a little unhappy.

My younger sister was just born, so it was spread in the village.

The topic of princesses and concubines is too sensitive. If it spreads, the county magistrate will have to come and ask. He thought their family insisted on talking about the court, and they would be charged with disrespect.

It's okay for them to suffer, but my sister can't.

After Bai Dazhuang finished speaking, he took Bai Zhaomei Dalang Erlang and left, leaving a group of women under the thousand-year-old tree to continue gossiping.

"Didn't Lao Bai's family just add a girl's film, why is it so expensive?" A young daughter-in-law who just married in Shenshu Village last year asked.

She couldn't believe how precious a little girl could be.

Since ancient times, it has never been heard that giving birth to a daughter is so happy.

As poor as Lao Bai's family, even if the golden phoenix falls in, can it catch it?
"Then you don't understand." The village chief's daughter-in-law patted her thigh and lowered her voice, injecting a mysterious atmosphere into the gossip scene.

The melon eaters stopped discussing and listened to her.The village head's wife was very satisfied with everyone's performance. Most people only heard that she was the only one who was on the front line.When the Taoist at Pojiao said those words to Bai Muban, she was cracking melon seeds.

"Many years ago, a Taoist priest from Pojiao came to our Shenshu Village. He told people's fortune under this tree, and the fortune-telling was not inaccurate..."

The village head's wife recalled the grand occasion.

She took the lead, mainly wanting to know whether the family could become a high-ranking official in the future. The Taoist of Pojiao said that the peak of their old Zhao family's official career was the village head.

Just thinking about her gives me a heart attack.

"Say it quickly, Aunt Zhao."

Several young daughters-in-law and girls all stared at the village head's wife eagerly, urging her.

The wife of the village chief enjoys the satisfaction of being in the center of focus.

He waved his hand and continued: "The Taoist Pojiao said that the old Bai family hadn't produced a girl for several generations, so he was holding back the essence of heaven and earth. How could he easily produce it? Once she did, she would be a very expensive girl. That girl would Bring a lot of wealth to the family, supreme wealth..."

The village chief's wife beamed with joy as she turned her extended thoughts into the words of a Taoist.

Tsk tsk, she decided to build a good relationship with Lao Bai's family in the future. If it is a golden phoenix, it will be cool under its wings.Seeing Xie Chuntao coming out from Pozi Xia's house with a scoop of millet from a distance, she was in a hurry to go home, planning to send a bag of noodles to Lao Bai's house, and by the way, there was also a piece of pork at home.

"The Taoist at Pojiao is talking nonsense." The young daughter-in-law still didn't believe it.

The other young daughter-in-law agreed, she had only heard of a man Guangzong Yaozu, but she had never seen a girl who could shine brightly.Even the woman who became a queen or concubine in the play depends on her natal family and her husband.

Anyway, they don't want daughters, daughters are losers, it's better to have a brood of boys like the old Bai family in the past.

……

Bai Dazhuang took Bai Zhaomei and others to the river.

"Brother, I have heard people in the village say that we will get rich if we have a younger sister. Is it true?" Bai Zhaomei asked her elder brother when she was young.

He hoped that the rumors were true. If the family really got rich, he would have to eat five big steamed buns, dipped in brown sugar, and the taste would be delicious.

Hearing his younger brother's question, Bai Dazhuang thought for a while and said seriously: "How can you believe this? Let's just say that the fortune teller from An Xiucai in the village next door said that he could be admitted to the Juren and be promoted and make a fortune, but in the end, he went crazy when the list was announced, let alone an official. I didn't get a half-job, and I'm still crazy now."

Bai Zhaomei met An Xiucai, with disheveled hair and dirty body, muttering that she had been hit.

"Scholars are miserable, just like the second brother." Bai Zhaomei spread from An Xiucai to her second brother.

"Your second brother isn't crazy, he just didn't pass the exam." Bai Dazhuang corrected Bai Zhaomei.

"It's not bad, marrying the second sister-in-law..." Bai Zhaomei quickly glanced at Bai's second son, Sanlang.

"Okay, is this what you should say?"

The second brother is an adult and a scholar, he knows more than their brothers. As the eldest brother, Bai Dazhuang's principle is not to participate in the second brother's room.

"So, just listen to those fortune-telling words, and don't take it seriously. A younger sister is a younger sister, the baby of our family." Bai Dazhuang changed the topic, pretending to be an elder brother, "Whether it brings wealth to the family or not, we will hurt her."

Bai Zhaomei nodded again and again, expressing that she listened to her elder brother.

Bai Dazhuang warned his son Dalang and nephew Saburo not to participate in the discussion of the rumors about the little aunt with a straight face. The two children raised their hands and promised not to participate but to stop them.

The four men of the Bai family quickly came to the river.

Thick ice formed on the river bed, the banks of the river were covered with snow, and the withered reeds trembled in the cold wind.

Bai Dazhuang only felt that following his grandma's orders was hasty.

In such a cold day, with such thick ice in the river, where would there be fish.

Another one, their old Bai's family didn't know whether it was bad luck or something else, every family in the village had caught fish in the river, but their old Bai's family had never returned empty-handed.
