I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

As the sky began to turn pale, Taohua Village, surrounded by mountains, woke up in the morning light. Crystal dewdrops sparkled among the bamboo leaves, like countless bamboo fairies dancing in the bamboo forest.

Luo carried a basket and walked on the dewdrops, heading south to burn incense at the temple opposite.

Because the temple is so popular, stalls are set up early on the road outside the temple during this period.

After several months of development, the small roadside stalls have turned into wooden sheds, selling tea, incense, candles, and various kinds of food. Although the sheds are simple, they are unique in this rural area.

Luo came from the small path and went straight into the temple, but unfortunately she was destined to come back empty-handed.

Zhou Minglang and the other man never showed up at all.

After burning incense, she lingered in the hall for a long time, but in the end, she saw no one there, so she had to leave in disappointment.

However, just as she stepped out of the temple gate, an old woman in decent clothes who was coming towards her suddenly fell to the ground, her face showing an expression of pain.

"Ouch!" The old woman cried out in pain, covering her leg.

Seeing this, Luo stepped forward and asked, "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

"I sprained my ankle. Can you give me a hand?" The old woman looked at Mrs. Luo pitifully.

Luo looked at the old woman's clothes with a hidden gaze. The old woman was well dressed, but it was a bit strange that she came to burn incense alone.

Although she was confused, Luo's hands were quicker than her brain and she helped the old woman up.

"Ouch! My leg hurts so much, child, please help me to sit in the teahouse next door for a while!" The old woman held Luo's hand and begged.

Luo looked at the stall on the right side of the road and said, "I'll help Auntie over there."

Mrs. Luo helped the old woman up to the teahouse on the right, and resisted the urge to ask about her situation on the way.

"Aunt, what's your name? Where are you from?"

"My last name is Hou, and my husband's last name is Chen. He is from the next village, but unfortunately he is no longer with us. You can just call me Aunt Hou. I am now working as a housekeeper in a wealthy family in the county, and I come back from time to time."

When Mrs. Luo heard this, a hint of joy flashed across her face. She knew that this old woman was not an ordinary old woman who worked in the fields for a living. She just didn't expect that the person she rescued was actually a housekeeper in a wealthy family in the county.

As soon as the old woman sat down, she began to order food. "Child, today is all thanks to you. I heard that this place is very effective. In order to come and burn incense earlier, I hurried out this morning and didn't have time to eat breakfast. I was so hungry that I felt dizzy and even fell asleep. Child, I'll order whatever you want to eat. Please don't be polite to me, your aunt."

Luo covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled reservedly, "Auntie, you are too polite. No matter who encounters this, they will not stand idly by."

She spoke politely, but did not reject Hou Po's kindness.

Soon, a pot of tea was served in the teahouse, and the proprietress also helped buy some food that the old lady wanted from the stall next door.

An old man and a young boy were sitting in the teahouse, talking and eating.

Soon, Mrs. Luo heard the maid talk a lot about the situation of her master's family.

Hou Pozi's husband lived in the county town. He was a businessman and had a small fortune. Their life was very good. The only flaw was that the man of the house was a daughter-in-law and had a sick wife, so they had no children.

"Ah! You haven't seen it. My male master is very young, not even thirty years old, handsome, more than seven feet tall, a very handsome man, and a dashing man. Although he married a virtuous wife and had a fortune, the mistress is a sickly person, which is a flaw in the whole thing."

Luo also looked regretful, "That's indeed a pity."

Isn't it a pity that such a good person can only be paired with a sickly person?

Unexpectedly, the old woman changed the subject and said, "However, I came back to my hometown this time because of the master's order to find a healthy and fertile woman to carry on the family line. However, because my mistress is in poor health, this matter can only be done secretly. However, if this matter is accomplished, there will be a lot of benefits, at least this amount."

As Mrs. Hou spoke, she slapped Luo in the face, her eyes fixed on her face.

At first, Luo just listened to what Hou Po said as a story, and didn't even hear the hidden meaning of Hou Po's words. But when she saw the slap, her eyes widened immediately, "Looking for someone to have a child? And giving five... fifty taels of silver?"

Mrs. Hou nodded modestly.

Luo's eyes rolled around, and she immediately had an idea. She grabbed Hou Po's hands with both hands and said eagerly, "Aunt, do you think I can do it? I have given birth to two children. I can give birth. Don't worry, as long as it succeeds, I will definitely benefit from your benefits."

Luo had been to the temple so many times and knew very well that those two pretty-faced young Taoist priests were not something she could covet, so she might as well seize the opportunity she could.

Mrs. Hou said in embarrassment: "You have a husband and children, this is not good..."

"What's wrong with that? Didn't your master say that you need to be able to give birth to a child? How can someone who has never given birth know if it's possible? Only someone who has given birth knows if it's possible."

Mother Hou shook her head repeatedly, "That won't work. After all, the master family has no intention of recognizing the child's mother. They just want the child. This is too much to ask. At least you saved me once, I can't hurt you."

"Aunt, how can you say this is harming me? My family is poor and I just happen to be short of money to get by!"

Luo didn't care whether there was money or not. Gu Dahua was a carpenter and could get work in the village. His family had enough food and drink. What she cared about was whether the tall, mature, wealthy and suave man could become her lover and whether she could live in the city.

Ever since Luo returned to the village, she has been fed up with the men in the village. Not only are they all ugly, but they are also extremely rude.

Seeing how enthusiastic Luo was, Mrs. Hou still didn't agree. She said with difficulty, "Well, I think you look really good, but I'm not sure if my master is willing. I'll take the lead and let you two meet first, so that you can know my master's style and also know if I'm bragging or not."

"Okay, then I'll wait for news from you, aunt. Don't forget, I'm Luo Meihua from Gu Dahua's family in Taohua Village."

How could Mrs. Luo refuse? She thought that if she could get married to Aunt Hou's family, she would be able to go to the county and become a city dweller in the future.

After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill and finished their discussion, Luo helped Hou Po get into a carriage on the side of the road.

When Luo saw the carriage, he intuitively felt that the other party really had some background. After all, in the nearby villages, only one or two landlords had carriages.

"Three days later, I will invite the host family to come and burn incense. Don't forget, my niece." Mrs. Hou lifted the curtain of the carriage and reminded Luo.

Luo nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Don't worry, auntie, I will definitely come on that day!"

Mrs. Hou left Taohua Village in a carriage, and Mrs. Luo also returned home carrying a basket.

As soon as she entered the room, she threw out all of Shen Erzhu's quilts in the side room without saying a word.

Shen Erzhu came back from fetching water and happened to see this scene.

"Luo Meihua, what are you doing?"

Luo Meihua put her hands on her waist and said, "What are you doing? This is my home. You've lived here for so long, it's time to go back!"

"I...we...we are not..."

"We are nothing. You got your head broken by my man before, and I let you stay at my house to recover because I felt sorry for you. Now that your wound has healed, you still want to stay here and not leave?"

On the way back, Luo Shi figured it out. In order to go to the city, she had to get rid of all these men.

Shen Erzhu didn't expect that Luo Shi would turn against him so easily. He just gave all the money he earned from working outside to Luo Shi yesterday, but he didn't expect that Luo Shi would turn against him immediately this morning.

"You...how could you..." Shen Erzhu threw the burden on his body to the ground, and the water in the bucket immediately spilled all over the floor.

The commotion here immediately attracted the attention of the neighbors.

"Erzhu! What Luo Meihua said makes sense. Your injuries have healed. It's not good to stay at Gu Dahua's house any longer!"

"That's right! You are a scholar father-in-law after all, you should at least pay attention to your reputation!"

"You know what, Gu Xiucai is indeed Shen Erzhu's son-in-law. Both of them are romantic and unrestrained."

Everyone looked at Shen Erzhu's joke and talked about it.

Originally, it was a very honorable thing for Taohua Village to have a scholar, but unfortunately there are many people who are easily jealous these days.

Whenever the villagers of Taohua Village talked about the scholar in their village, they would always brag about the romantic affairs of the scholar's family. Even the seven points of glory would only be reduced to three points, which was completely unable to live up to the effect of the villagers' boasting.

For this reason, everyone was happy to see Shen Erzhu being kicked out by the Luo family, and were very active in making fun of Shen Erzhu.
