Bab 148: Chapter 148: Better a short sharp pain than a long one

A little girl, in the bloom of her age, crouched on the ground, allowing a dog to leap over her body. Would this not embarrass Zhou Taohua?

"The black dog must jump over the shoulder seven times, otherwise it won't work!" An old woman yelled from nearby.

Another woman nudged Zhou Deshun's daughter-in-law with her elbow and said, "See, last time it didn't jump from the shoulder, that's why it didn't work. Ask your Taohua to endure it this time, it will be alright once the jumping is over."

Bai Ruozhu was indeed curious and leaned over to ask in a hushed voice: "Auntie Zhou, what's happening here?"

When Zhou Deshun's daughter-in-law saw Bai Ruozhu carrying a child coming over, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Ruozhu came for a visit, let's go inside and chat once the jumping is over".

Bai Ruozhu saw the relaxed look on Zhou Deshun's daughter-in-law's face. She assumed it must not be anything serious and with so many people around, she stopped further questioning.
