Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 100 Mistress? Relative?
Bai Lu was taken aback, clearly not expecting that these two would disobey her.

She scolded, "You bunch of bastards, how dare you! Are you tired of living?"

I'm warning you, if you dare disobey me again, I'll tell my father and he'll teach you a lesson for your ignorance and arrogance.

The fat man shook the key in his hand, "You're going? Why aren't you going? Oh, right, the key is in my hand, you can't get out, hahaha."

Another person immediately added, "Stop trying to intimidate us by using your father's name. Who are you trying to scare? Don't you know who we are? We work for Madam Bai."

"Don't even mention your father, we wouldn't be afraid even if those so-called government officials came."

Li Ruru frowned. These two people were Madam Bai's men, and they weren't afraid of officials. Madam Bai's relationship with the county magistrate must be extraordinary.

What is their relationship? Mistress? Relatives?

Bai Lu was furious. It seemed that her stepmother was behind all of this.

She really is omnipresent; she even interferes in a small restaurant. If this continues, things will get out of control.

From now on, the Bai family will all be hers.

The thought is terrifying. Will Bai Lu still have a place in the Bai family in the future?
Thinking of this, she said slowly, "I don't care whose people you are, Madam Li is my guest, you must not be rude."

As she spoke, she reached out to snatch the keys from the fat man's hand.

A fat man tossed a key to another man, and the two of them tossed it back and forth, making a fool of Bailu like a monkey.

One of them suddenly said jokingly, "Oh my, look at this Miss Bai, her skin is so tender, it looks like you could squeeze water out of it, it makes me so envious."

Another one shoved him, saying, "The beauty is mine, don't try to take her from me."

"Hey, what's yours and mine? It's ours, so nobody loses out."

Bai Lu's eyes widened. Usually, these two people looked honest and simple, and they would only smile respectfully when they saw her.

She was furious that someone would say such shameless things today.

He raised his hand and slapped one of them, and was about to slap the other when his wrist was grabbed.

"You little brat, you dare hit me? I'll skin you alive today!"

Another man said lewdly, "Why skin her? Of course, we'll strip her naked."

As they spoke, the two men reached out and grabbed Bai Lu's clothes.

Bai Lu screamed in surprise and fell to the ground in fright.

The two men approached in a lewd manner, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in their eyes, as if their eyeballs were about to be gouged out.

They screamed in pain.

Taking advantage of the two men's inattention, Li Ruru took out her anti-wolf weapon and sprayed them with pepper spray.

"You bitch, you bitch, what kind of drug did you give us?"

The two fat men, clutching their eyes in pain, staggered and knocked over tables and chairs.

Bai Lu stared blankly at the two fat men lying on the ground, screaming and writhing like maggots.

She looked up at Li Ruru: "Li... Madam Li, they..."

"She won't die." Li Ruru helped her up and said earnestly, "Miss Bai, can't you see? Your stepmother is heartless."

Bai Lu naturally knew this, "She's still my stepmother, how could she..."

They actually had designs on her.

She's just a weak woman; she won't inherit her father's property, and she'll get married eventually.

Even so, her stepmother still couldn't tolerate her?
She couldn't understand how people could be so wicked.

Li Ruru sighed: "Human hearts are unpredictable."

Human greed is insatiable; that Madam Bai is clearly not a kind person. Bai Lu's days in the Bai family are probably not going to be easy from now on.

"Go home quickly and tell your father the whole story."

Li Ruru picked up the keys from the ground and patted Bai Lu on the shoulder. Pei Pei took the keys and opened the door. Bai Lu said with a bitter face, "My dad isn't home. He's gone on a long trip and won't be back for the next few months."

Li Ruru said "Oh," and "No wonder."

No wonder Madam Bai chose to act now. If Miss Bai had encountered any danger, it would have been too late by the time Master Bai returned.

The two fat men were still yelling and cursing.

“You little slut, Madam Bai said that if we brothers sleep with you, you have to marry us, or we’ll send you to a Taoist temple and you’ll never be able to come back.”

"You brat, don't you know your own limitations? You dare to dream of opening a restaurant? If you touch Madam's cake, you won't see your father alive."

Li Ruru didn't understand why Madam Bai, from such a large and powerful family, would be so concerned about a small restaurant.

Bai Lu understood perfectly. This was her stepmother's way of showing her power; she wanted to let her know who was the head of the Bai family.

Bai Lu hadn't originally intended to do any business; she just considered it a way to pass the time.

But the more her stepmother acted this way, the less she would compromise, and the more determined she was to rise to the challenge.

"What about them?" Li Ruru pointed to the three people on the ground.

"Aunt Li, what do you think I should do?" Bai Lu asked, cupping her hands in greeting. She felt that Li Ruru wasn't asking her directly, but rather that she had already thought of a solution.

Li Ruru asked with a smile, "Do you have their indentures?"

Bai Lu shook her head, "It's in my father's hands."

She whispered again, "But I know where he put it."

Li Ruru raised her eyebrows. "That makes things easier. Just make them disappear from Pingchuan County, so they won't cause you any trouble."

Bai Lu understood what she meant, thought for a moment, and nodded seriously.

Li Ruru pulled out a bundle of rope from her waist and tied up the three men, gagging them.

After finishing, she dusted off her hands and instructed, "Miss Bai, forgive my bluntness, but you are still too kind. You must be ruthless towards servants who dare to plot against their masters, otherwise they will dare to do it again next time."

Also, as a young woman, you should bring a few more people with you when you go out to protect yourself, so that bad people don't take advantage of you.

No matter what, you have a share in the Bai family's assets. You can't just hand them over to someone else. Don't be afraid to fight for them when the time comes.

If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to me.

Bai Lu's eyes were red; it had been a long time since anyone had spoken to her so frankly.

Aunt Li is beautiful and kind-hearted; she's been incredibly kind to us.

"Thank you, Auntie. Tomorrow..." Bai Lu rubbed her nose, "I want 10 buckets of konjac tofu tomorrow, is that alright?"

Upon hearing that there was money to be made, Li Ruru immediately exclaimed happily, "Of course!"

“Then these three people…” Bai Lu hesitated, “It will take me some time to go home and find the indenture.”

She was afraid that by the time she finished her work, the three of them would have already run away.

"That's easy, just find someone to keep an eye on things for you." Li Ruru held out her hand and asked, "Do you have any money?"

Bai Lu hurriedly took out the money pouch from her waist and handed it to her. Li Ruru took out 100 taels of silver and returned the money pouch to her.

"Peipei, go to the slave trader and buy a few tall men."

Peipei nodded, pushed open the door, and ran to the entrance of the brokerage firm in one breath.

The last time she came here, she was sold to a slave trader by her uncle and aunt; this time, she became the buyer.

"Shopkeeper, I want to buy..." Peipei suddenly stopped midway through her sentence, as she saw several familiar figures.

Wang Shuixia, Chen Dagang, and Chen Jinbang were talking to the shopkeeper with Chen Huaidi.

Could it be... could it be that they're going to sell my cousin?

Peipei's heart was pounding. She didn't know whether she should get involved, but she was also worried that if she didn't, her cousin would really be sold.
