Chapter 141: Guan Chibei Was Trapped in the House
Guan Chibei watched quietly from the side. After the second son drank his milk, it would be the eldest son's turn.
The eldest son could not be considered to have been bullied. Most of the time, the youngest son was the first. Ye Lulu then fed whoever was beside him.
The house was filled with the fragrance of milk, causing ordinary people's faces to turn red. However, Guan Chibei was still considered alright. He stood there with a stiff face and heaved a sigh of relief after the three babies had finished their milk.
He carried the eldest son down. Guan Chibei even knew how to help the babies burp.
After feeding the babies milk, Ye Lulu wasn't wearing any undergarments... What should he do?
Guan Chibei really could not bring himself to put Ye Lulu's undergarment on.
His dark eyes quickly swept over Ye Lulu. When his gaze landed on the thin blanket on the bed, he raised his hand and dragged the blanket over to cover Ye Lulu with her open shirt.
Guan Chibei paused.
Then, Guan Chibei turned around and bent down to pick Ye Lulu up. He moved her to the center of the bed and placed her properly before standing up.
He then placed the three babies neatly beside Ye Lulu.
All good!
The four of them were finally settled.
Forget about Guan Chibei's body. His mind had suffered a certain blow and he was a little tired. He looked at the mother and children again before turning around to calm down.
However, the moment he opened the door, the pouring rain nearly rushed into the house.
Guan Chibei could only close the door a second later.
"..." Alright.
Eldest son, the cleansing rain that happened after you summoned the lightning of heavenly punishment was quite heavy.
Guan Chibei could only stay in the house and guard the four of them.
...
As expected, after Brother Wei fell into the mountain forest, he did not feel well. The two sides of the mountain path happened to be a relatively steep mountain forest. Brother Wei rolled down the slope until he reached a long steep slope.
He even crashed into a large rock. Along the way, he was scraped by many sharp tree branches, awl-shaped stones, and vines. His body was riddled with wounds.
The bloodstains were red and swollen. His clothes had already been torn and were hanging onto his body in bits and pieces, which could not hide the wounds at all. The mottled and tired swelling marks were everywhere.
This was already very tragic.
The moment Brother Wei hit the large rock, he even vomited blood.
It was as if this was calculated.
Just as he stopped rolling down, there was a thunderstorm in the sky. It was neither too late nor too early.
Brother Wei had nowhere to hide and was immediately drenched.
Don't forget that his clothes had been torn and he had suffered various injuries. It was still autumn and winter now. The heavy rain was accompanied by extremely cold air that filled the surroundings. The temperature at the steep slopes was even lower. The soil was moist and cold.
Brother Wei was in a miserable state. What was even worse was that he was suddenly drenched by the rain. He instinctively wanted to find a place to hide from the rain. However, as he staggered to his feet, he slipped and crashed into the large rock again.
Brother Wei was speechless. "..."
This time, he fainted from the collision.
Thus, one could see that under the heavy rain and by the large rock, Brother Wei was lying upright. Forget about his injuries, but he was continuously drenched by the heavy rain.
It was really a cleansing rain.
The downpour lasted for an entire morning before stopping four hours later.
Everyone in the village and mountains of Yuan City was talking about how formidable this sudden heavy rain was.
Chapter 142: Evening

After the rain stopped, Guan Chibei left the house and went to the courtyard to look for Father Guan.
Father Guan had a swollen eye and a missing tooth. There was blood at the corner of his mouth. He had been beaten up by those hooligans. Under the heavy rain, he could not find a village doctor to bandage his wounds. Hence, he had to eat the food Mother Rong had left in the kitchen with this appearance.
Guan Chibei went to have dinner with Father Guan. As Ye Lulu was still unconscious, he did not need to bring food to her. After the rain stopped, Father Guan sent Guan Chibei to look for the village doctor.
There was only a barefoot doctor in Yunwu Village. His standards were average. This was also the reason why Ye Lulu didn't find a doctor when she was pregnant.
However, he could still do the basic bandaging.
1
The barefoot doctor in the village treated Father Guan's wounds and used medicinal herbs to cover the wounds. He then looked at the bruises and swollen wounds and confirmed that it was fortunate that nothing major had happened.
When the villagers saw Father Guan getting beaten up, they were afraid that his bones would be broken.
They even invited a doctor to their house to check on the eldest son. Although the child had been snatched back, they were still afraid that the person who stole him had done something to hurt him.
After checking, the barefoot doctor, Old Zheng, said, "There are no wounds on his body. Your child is well-nourished, unlike the children in the village. Their limbs are thin, but their heads are big and their hair is also bad."
Guan Chibei stood by the side, his tall figure like a guardian. He didn't say anything.
Of course, he raised them well. He would go hunting every few days to raise them.
"It's not a big deal, but he might be a little frightened." Old Zheng touched the eldest son's head and said, "The child is too young. He's just a month old. Those people are too black-hearted. They can't wait to steal the baby now. The baby will definitely be afraid..."
Before Old Zheng could finish, when the baby saw a stranger like him, not only was he not afraid, but he even hugged his hand and blew a bubble.
"Hu... lu."
Old Zheng swallowed his words and was silent for a moment. He looked at the calm and lively eldest son.
Guan Chibei introduced, "His nickname is Hu Lu. He should be introducing himself to you."
Old Zheng was speechless. "..." Don't try to fool me. The child doesn't know how to talk now. He just made this sound out of habit. That was probably why you gave him this nickname.
"Not only is your baby well-nourished, but he's also quite bold. Haha." Old Zheng laughed awkwardly and said, "He was stolen. It was raining and there was thunder. It's great that the child isn't afraid."
Guan Chibei's eyes were calm. If Old Zheng knew that the two bolts of lightning from the sky were struck by this baby, he would probably be scared to death.
Then, Old Zheng went to see Ye Lulu.
Logically speaking, Ye Lulu should have suffered more injuries than the baby because she had only completed a month of confinement and had not fully recovered yet. When Old Zheng went to see Ye Lulu, Guan Chibei glanced at Ye Lulu, who was still sleeping.
Knowing that she was not wearing undergarments under the blanket and only had outerwear on, the man's eyes darkened for a moment. He went forward and did not let Old Zheng touch Ye Lulu. He went forward and took Ye Lulu's hand out of the blanket.
He then tightly wrapped the blanket around the corners of the bed so that no other parts of Ye Lulu's body would be revealed.
Guan Chibei had just turned around.
When he met Old Zheng's gaze, there was admiration, surprise, and gossip. Old Zheng smiled and said, "Haha, I didn't expect you to look so fair and delicate, but you're actually so domineering as well. You keep such a close eye on your wife. Haha."
Guan Chibei was speechless. "..."
'I'm not. I didn't.'
Old Zheng: "I'll think what I want."
"Haha, in the future, when the villagers say that you're tightly controlled by your wife and children, I'll tell everyone that although you don't seem to have a temper, you're actually very domineering towards your wife."
Guan Chibei was speechless. "..." Forget it. As long as he was happy.
He was right about one thing though... He didn't seem to have a temper?
Guan Chibei's eyes were dark. He did not rebut or show what kind of person he was.
Old Zheng would find out later.
He should... still not be considered a good person.
Old Zheng checked Ye Lulu's pulse and said in a low voice, "She fainted as her body was too weak. She has not recovered yet. Today, she was affected by the cold so her condition returned to what it was before. She would probably need to recuperate for a longer period of time next."
1
"It's almost winter. It's snowing heavily and it's cold. Your wife has to stay warm. You have to take care of her," instructed Old Zheng.
Guan Chibei nodded.
"As for the rest... it's not a big deal. The losses from childbirth have been restored to seventy or eighty percent. Fortunately, you made up for your wife's losses a few days ago."
In the end, Old Zheng instructed him, "As for the rest, it's not convenient for me. Help your wife check if there are any wounds on her body. If there are any, look for me to get the medicine."
Guan Chibei was speechless. "...Alright."
Old Zheng nodded at him with admiration in his eyes. Then, he turned around and left. "I'll be going back first then. Heh, when a villager asks me how your wife and child are, I would say that it was no big deal. On the other hand, you were very nervous!"
1
Guan Chibei was speechless. "..."
Why was this doctor, who was already fifty years old but had no wife or children, so gossipy?
The doctor had seen Ye Lulu and the child and confirmed that they were fine. Father Guan was also relieved. Otherwise, he would have been worried.
As for Guan Chibei, he already knew that Ye Lulu had not woken up. It was only because she had overworked her body and was too weak that she was resting.
She had to sleep for at least another day and night. Guan Chibei took care of the babies and left the house after placing the mother and children on the bed.
The village chief and some villagers came over. They probably wanted to ask about this matter before deciding what to do.
Someone had sneaked into the village to steal children. It was a huge matter that implicated the entire village, not just the Guan family. The villagers had to come.
The village head's surname was Li and his name was Li Yue. He had always been the village head of Yunwu Village. He was quite a good person and went forward to ask Guan Chibei about the details of what had happened this morning.
Guan Chibei was not too sure either, so both he and Father Guan talked about it.
"What did the person who stole the child look like?" Li Yue asked again.
In fact, among the group of people who stole the children, some of the villagers had already recognized the few who hit Father Guan as they were scums from the neighboring villages.
Some villagers had already recognized that it was Qi Zi and Lai Han from the neighboring village.
Guan Chibei said, "I did leave the city, but I suddenly felt something was wrong. Therefore, I rushed back and happened to catch up with the person who stole the child and... my wife. That was a man. He was about my height and was a little stronger than me. He had a fair face, tanned hands, and a lot of hair. He looked decent, but his eyes were fierce. His left eyebrow was broken."
Guan Chibei naturally did not say that he had seen the strange lightning and thus, knew that something had happened.
"Guan Chibei, you and your wife and children are quite fated. Your minds are connected, that's why you can sense them. Haha." Li Yue laughed.
Guan Chibei was speechless. "..." Why did he feel that everyone in this village was gossipy?
Chapter 143: Night
Li Yue said, "The person you're talking about is very obvious. I know him. He's Brother Wei from the city, right?"
The village head returned to the main topic with a solemn expression. He was the village head, one of the most frequent people who left for the city in the village. He was the most familiar with the city. Brother Wei committed all kinds of crimes in the city, and his name was well known by everyone. Therefore, the village head knew who it was.
"It's actually Brother Wei..." The village head frowned. "That would be troublesome. I don't know what happened to Brother Wei. He actually came to our village to steal children? How did he know that we have triplets in our village... Moreover, Brother Wei is an evil person and has some influence in the city. He has run away now. Fortunately, we got the child back, but I don't know how to catch him. "
It was not that the village head was afraid of trouble, but it was indeed troublesome. They could not catch him.
"A few days ago, a big girl in the city was abducted by Brother Wei... In the end, she was thrown out naked on the street. However, no one got hold of Brother Wei because they couldn't catch him red-handed. There was no evidence, and they didn't dare to provoke Brother Wei."
The village head's expression was bad.
When these words were said, everyone in the village was silent.
It was unknown what most people were thinking. However, at this moment, a malicious voice sounded. "What should we do? It's all the Guan family's fault! Most importantly, it's that Ye Lulu! Since she gave birth to three children and attracted the villains, wouldn't our village offend people that we can't afford to offend? Won't we suffer in the future?! What should we do?!"
Guan Chibei looked over and saw Auntie Tian standing among the villagers with a mean look in her eyes.
Immediately, the expressions of some villagers changed. They looked at the Guan family hesitantly and fearfully...
A bad atmosphere rose.
Guan Chibei's dark eyes swept past Auntie Tian and he said unhurriedly, "It's almost winter. Why would Brother Wei come to steal children? He wants to earn money. Our family is the first to have a child nearly carried away. The village is wide open and anyone can come. What if it were someone else's turn next time... The village has babies all year round."
"This isn't someone our Guan family attracted over, but our Guan family was the first to be harmed. If Brother Wei and the rest think that the people in our village are easy to bully and specially came to steal children, we should be feeling afraid and worried now, instead of thinking about other things."
Guan Chibei's calm voice seemed to have swept past Auntie Tian as he said, "It's best if someone doesn't pick on our Guan family. This matter involves the entire village, and it's not our Guan family who should be responsible."
The atmosphere in the village became silent again with deep worry.
Guan Chibei had made it too clear!
Yes, that was it. There was no need to blame the Guan family. Brother Wei and the rest came to the village because they felt that small villages in the mountains were easy to bully. Furthermore, they wanted to steal children to exchange for money before the New Year.
This was a very bad matter. The entire village needed to think of a countermeasure and not divert the conflict.
"But that was also because your Guan family gave birth to triplets! News of this spread, that's why it attracted people." Auntie Tian didn't relent and said, "It was your Guan family who attracted the villains to our village! Now that the villains have their eyes on our village, it's all because of your Guan family! According to me, that beggar daughter-in-law of yours, Ye Lulu, is a disaster. The triplets she gave birth to are three scourges!"
"I knew it. That Ye Lulu was so skinny. She had no breasts and no buttocks. It was not easy for her to give birth. How could she give birth to three children in one go? Look, those three are scourges!"
It turned out that Auntie Tian's heart was really vicious.
She actually labeled the three babies who had just turned one month old as extremely vicious and wanted to call them scourges...
One had to know that in ancient times, this was a huge taboo.
There were indeed villagers whose expressions changed.
Guan Chibei looked into Auntie Tian's dark eyes. His aura did not change, but his voice was calm and intimidating. "According to what you said, that big girl in the city was harmed because she was a scourge. That's why she attracted villains? Therefore, the girls in the entire Yuan City have to blame that big girl for attracting Brother Wei and not Brother Wei himself?"
"Brother Wei even went against the government and stole their rice grains, but the government didn't capture him. According to what you said, the government is a scourge as well. They displayed so many rice grains for Brother Wei to steal. Now, everyone has to be worried that Brother Wei will steal their rice grains. It's all the government's fault, right?"
Auntie Tian's mouth turned hoarse.
Guan Chibei's thoughts were calm and collected.
The former was fine. Since Brother Wei could harm her and even throw her out naked, it must be that girl who was indecent. She was probably alluring. Otherwise, why would she attract men?
However, when it came to the government, ordinary citizens immediately cowered when they heard about them. They were shocked and did not dare to argue.
Guan Chibei revealed a cold expression. "Brother Wei chose our family first and almost took the child away. We chased the child back and it was considered fine. What If he chooses another family and takes the child away but you do not manage to chase him back? Everyone should think carefully about the consequences."
Guan Chibei's words pulled back the thoughts of the villagers.
Those who had just given birth could not help but shiver.
Yes, the Guan family was lucky and there were many people. The child was almost carried away but they still chased him back. But what if it was another family?
They shouldn't be resenting the Guan family now. Instead, they should be on guard together against these villains.
Auntie Tian choked back her words. She was still black-hearted and extremely indignant. She wanted to say something, but Auntie Huang, who was helping the Guan family, couldn't help but curse.
"This black-hearted person from the Tian family is bent on splashing dirty water on the Guan family, right? In that case, when your Tie Wa left for the city last time, he even stole other people's sugar! While they were turning around to receive the money, he used his pocket to grab more than one catty of sugar! He hid it and returned to the village! That merchant in the city chased him all the way to the village! Then, shouldn't you blame your Tie Wa for making our village a laughing stock?"
"You're really evil. Their biological father was still alive after they were born. Their mother was also fine. There were no disasters in our village either. It was because they were too beautiful that the villains almost carried them away. You, a black-hearted woman from the Tian family, splashed dirty water and said that the children were scourges! Why are you so wicked? You deserve to not have given birth to a second son."
Auntie Huang's combat strength was comparable to Mother Rong's. Furthermore, she was a small loudspeaker. She spoke very well and the last trace of doubt on everyone's faces disappeared.
That was right. Speaking of Guan Chibei's rebirth and that Ye Lulu was fine after a difficult labor, didn't this prove that the triplets were lucky stars and not scourges?
Their father could even come back to life!
The villagers were completely at ease.
As for Auntie Tian, she choked on her words until she panicked. She was indignant as long as she didn't harm the Guan family. Now, Auntie Huang mercilessly poked her sore spot and said that she wouldn't be able to give birth to a second son.
Auntie Tian's face immediately darkened as she shouted at everyone,
"But I have big buttocks and it's easy for me to give birth! Which villager doesn't admit that this is a saying passed down by the ancestors? So why did that Ye Lulu give birth to three skinny children in her lifetime?! Tell me the reason. If that Ye Lulu wants big buttocks, she doesn't have big buttocks. If she wants a chest, she doesn't have a chest! How can she give birth? How can she raise them?!"
Auntie Tian had really pushed her unreasonableness to the limit by saying such crooked logic. However, the problem was that this theory had really been passed down for many years. No one could refute it at that moment.
At this moment, Guan Chibei stood in front of everyone. His eyes were dark as he followed Auntie Tian's words. It was unknown if he did not think deeply or if he was deliberate, but he suddenly said,
"Who said that my wife doesn't have big buttocks or a chest?"
Chapter 144: Would You Know Better Than Me?
Would you know better than me?
Everyone else only took a look at her, so who would know better than him what his wife's figure was?
The villagers fell silent.
Hmm...?
Everyone looked at Guan Chibei. Ah, so this was...?
Indeed, as the husband, only Guan Chibei knew this best.
Strange smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
If the sleeping Ye Lulu knew about this...
Auntie Tian did not expect that this man from the Guan family would say such a thing.
At that time, everyone was stunned.
Her husband said that he knew best whether his wife had a chest or big buttocks. What could she do?
Guan Chibei fell silent as well...
These words should not have been said in front of everyone, but he had suffered too many shocks today. Just now, Auntie Tian had continued to mention the topic of her figure, so he immediately said it.
He was really thinking in his mind: You didn't see it. Just by looking at the surface, it's different from under the clothes. How do you know...
Everyone was stunned by Guan Chibei. Even Father Guan was silent for a moment.
Guan Chibei said something shocking but maintained his calm expression and said,
"Moreover, your explanation is simply laughable. According to what you said, all the women in the world should be fat and rough. Are skinny women not qualified to be mothers and not be able to give birth? You judge others based on your reasoning and even directly appraise them. That's such a huge joke."
Guan Chibei's aura became colder towards Auntie Tian, who was a vicious and difficult woman. His eyes looked a little intimidating.
Auntie Tian's face darkened and her lips moved. She really wanted to continue splashing dirty water and pestering them, but she didn't dare to at that moment.
Auntie Huang added another bullet to the side and said loudly in mockery, "It's funny. Everyone in the village is poor. Most of the skinny women are poor, so how many are fat? Besides, you're very proud of your thick waist and big buttocks, right?"
"According to what you said, there are also a few fat men in the village. Let's talk about the eldest son of the Ye family. He's rich and earns money in the city. His family eats well. The eldest son of the Ye family is so fat that his buttocks are the size of a millstone. Not only is his waist thick, but his stomach also has a few rings of meat. Are you then saying that it would be easy for the eldest son of the Ye family to give birth? He might even be able to give birth to four or five children in his lifetime!"
The women in the village were unrestrained and could joke about anything. This was also why although everyone was strangely silent when Guan Chibei said that Ye Lulu had a chest and big buttocks, they did not feel that it was inappropriate.
After Auntie Huang shouted, that eldest son of the Ye family in the crowd, who was indeed very fat, mumbled awkwardly.
All the villagers laughed when they saw him.
Auntie Tian's eyes became even more sinister as she said angrily, "How can a man give birth?! You're talking nonsense!"
"So, aren't you also talking nonsense? You shut up first!" Auntie Huang supported her waist and scolded back, "Everyone is talking about serious matters, and you're the only one talking nonsense. If you make everyone forget to handle the matter of stealing children, whichever family has their children stolen in the future will remember you!"
Auntie Huang's attack was a fatal blow. Auntie Tian was defeated again and shut her mouth in extreme frustration. Her face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Everyone also recalled serious business and quickly focused their attention.
Guan Chibei said calmly, "Those villains might not have escaped just like that. When I brought my wife and child back this morning, I saw that Brother Wei was fleeing. In the end, it started to rain. He slipped and fell into the mountain forest. With the heavy rain, the rest of the people also fled into the mountain forest. I think that they might not be able to escape from the heavy rain in the mountains."
Chapter 145: It Was As If Ye Lulu Was Struck by Lightning
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
No one knew about this. When Guan Chibei said this, many people's expressions changed.
Li Yue also said after some consideration, "If what Guan Chibei said is true and it's almost winter now, those few people might have caught a cold after being drenched in the rain in the mountains. It's impossible for them to be fine."
"In the future, pay attention to whether there is any news of Brother Wei in the city. Let's leave the Guan family's matter as it is for now."
"However, be alert in our village in the future. Don't let strangers enter the village. When you see outsiders, be careful and be wary of whether people are here to get insider news."
As soon as the village head finished speaking, some of the villagers exclaimed, "That's right! I often saw Lai Han come to our village to look for Xiongzi and the rest recently! He couldn't be here to get insider news, right? Otherwise, Brother Wei is from the city. How would he know about the Guan family? He even went to Guan Chibei's house!"
The villagers all reacted and exclaimed. So there was really someone getting insider news.
The Xiongzi who was mentioned was a friend of Lai Han's in the village. Upon hearing that, his expression turned nasty.
The villagers discussed among themselves. Li Yue didn't pay much attention to Xiongzi and said, "Enough! In any case, Guan Chibei is right. Now is the time for many people to steal children to get money. During this time, everyone should pay more attention. When winter comes and the heavy snow seals the mountain, no one would enter."
"Alright, disperse."
The villagers discussed this matter fervently before dispersing.
...
Ye Lulu did not wake up after a day and a night, as Guan Chibei had expected. She was thinking about her eldest son and woke up in the afternoon. She suddenly opened her eyes.
When she saw that it was her house, she immediately knew that the child had been chased back and heaved a sigh of relief.
She still remembered that Guan Chibei had rushed over. It must have been a threatening experience, but not dangerous.
Ye Lulu turned her head and saw that the eldest son was indeed sleeping soundly beside her. She moved her body first. Her whole body felt like it had been run over by a car. It was extremely painful, and her bones were aching. Her limbs, especially her legs, could not muster any strength.
Ye Lulu thought back to her body's condition and the mountain road where she had chased after them. She recalled the distance she had run out and the coldness she felt at that time. She knew in her heart that she was doomed. Her body was definitely in a bad condition again.
But there was no choice. Her body could recuperate, but the child had to be chased back.
Ye Lulu did not regret her decision. However, her entire body was aching!
Moreover, her throat was still dry. She must have inhaled wind from the chase. She even shouted at that man many times, "Return the child to me."
Ye Lulu lifted the blanket and wanted to reach out for a glass of water to drink.
However, as soon as she lifted the blanket, she felt a chill in her chest.
She looked down and realized that she did not have any undergarments on.
It was empty inside her outerwear...
Moreover, the outerwear was not worn well. It was loose and crooked. When Ye Lulu looked down, she saw her alluring and delicate curves.
Ah!
Ye Lulu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She thought for a moment and could guess that she had been in a sorry state at that time. It might have been raining heavily later on. She would definitely have had to change her clothes when she returned. She couldn't possibly have let Father Guan change her clothes. The only person in the family who had the status to change her clothes was...
Ah!
Ye Lulu imagined Guan Chibei changing her clothes!
She was instantly intoxicated...
Furthermore, she was not wearing her undergarment yet. Hence, it was obvious that when Guan Chibei was changing her clothes for her...
Chapter 146: Ye Lulu's Inexplicable Strangeness
Although she was from the modern era, she was not as conservative as the ancient people when it came to chastity. Furthermore, to Ye Lulu, sleeping with a drenched body would cause great damage. She would definitely be willing to let Guan Chibei help her change her clothes.
This was an important matter. There was no need for her to feel uncomfortable or act tough. She did not feel like she was being taken advantage of.
However, when she thought about that scene, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed...
Ye Lulu couldn't help it. She reached out and covered her face with her hands. She felt frustrated and her face felt hot in her palms.
It was really...
Moreover, this person was her husband in name...
Ye Lulu raised her burning face and quickly found a piece of underwear to wear. She was in a daze.
What was going on?
The ancient times were not stable at all. It was even more terrifying than the modern era. Someone could just come over and steal their children. It was too terrifying.
Ye Lulu felt a little solemn. She had to consider her personal safety.
Ye Lulu drank water. She had wanted to go to the toilet.
However, when she moved, she realized that her body was indeed too weak. In just a short while, her hands and feet became frighteningly cold. Her body also felt weak. Ignoring the pain in her body, she was very weak.
Ye Lulu pursed her lips and insisted on using the toilet.
She held onto the wall and could not control her body at all. Her legs were trembling badly, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead. It was due to her weakness...
In order to get the baby back, she had really suffered greatly this time.
Ye Lulu laughed bitterly.
Outside, Guan Chibei heard some movements in the house. He was not sure if Ye Lulu had woken up... Hence, he walked in and looked at the situation.
Guan Chibei looked at her calmly and his attitude was calm. Ye Lulu could not help but wonder if he was not the one who had changed her clothes. Could it be a woman from the village who helped instead?
Ye Lulu was uncertain. Guan Chibei was surprised. "You're awake? How do you feel?"
"My body is very sore and I don't have the strength," Ye Lulu replied. The more she looked at Guan Chibei's expression, the more she felt that he shouldn't have changed her clothes!
"It's like this. You're too tired and your body can't take the burden. I've already asked the doctor in the village to come and see you. He said that you're fine, but you have to recuperate."
Guan Chibei told her and looked at the babies. He naturally fed the babies some warm water. Ye Lulu had been unconscious for a long time, so he had to take care of the babies carefully.
Guan Chibei bent down and fed the babies warm water. He was very close to Ye Lulu, so she could see the details of Guan Chibei's skin.
He had fair skin, a tall nose bridge, and light-colored lips. They were pursed slightly, making him look handsome and cold.
Ye Lulu's gaze landed on Guan Chibei and she kept wondering if he was the one who had changed her clothes...
However, at this moment.
Ye Lulu's heart skipped a beat as a strange feeling rose within her. For some reason, she felt an urge to get closer to Guan Chibei.
Before Ye Lulu could react, her body moved even faster. In an instant, her movements were very smooth. She leaned forward and moved a little.
Then, she reached out her hands and hugged Guan Chibei's waist!
Chapter 147: Ye Lulu Hugged Guan Chibei from the Back
Not only that, but Ye Lulu even naturally leaned closer in the next second. She turned her head and leaned her head against Guan Chibei's chest. She snuggled into his arms.
After doing this.
Ye Lulu finally realized what she had done. Her body trembled and she suddenly looked up. She looked up from Guan Chibei's arms and met his gaze...
Ye Lulu was speechless.
Guan Chibei was confused.
At this moment, Ye Lulu was still hugging Guan Chibei's waist and leaning against him. She did this while looking at him in the eye.
At the moment when they looked at each other, Guan Chibei had a questioning gaze while Ye Lulu felt shocked and puzzled.
She opened her mouth in surprise...
Damn it.
What was she doing?!
In a daze...
Why did she suddenly have the urge to get close to Guan Chibei?!
Ye Lulu immediately froze, feeling extremely awkward in Guan Chibei's arms.
It was not because of what he had done this time, but because she suddenly and inexplicably made such an awkward move for no reason.
At this moment, she could feel Guan Chibei's heart beating and her head was just below the man's chin. The top of her head could feel his breath.
Ye Lulu took a deep breath and quickly withdrew from Guan Chibei's embrace. She then explained casually, "I'm sorry, I was a little stunned just now and didn't react in time. I treated you like a... a baby!"
Guan Chibei was confused.
His silent handsome face froze as he looked at her with his dark eyes. She treated him as a baby?!
Was he like a baby in her eyes?
The three babies on the bed were also confused.
They opened their eyes wide and did not know what was going on. They looked up and moved around, looking at Guan Chibei and Ye Lulu.
When Ye Lulu saw Guan Chibei's reaction, she wanted to slap herself. Look at her inappropriate mouth! What nonsense did she say?!
"Ah, no. It's just that I wanted to carry the baby, but I was a little stunned. You were right in front of me, so I hugged you by mistake."
Ye Lulu spoke again and gave a dry laugh.
Guan Chibei shifted his gaze away from her, not wanting to think about the strange changes that had happened to her.
Guan Chibei's expression was profound. After feeding the babies with warm water, he stood up and placed the cup back on the table.
Ye Lulu's gaze followed his movements...
When she saw Guan Chibei walking past her, she did not know why!
But Ye Lulu felt an inexplicable urge to approach Guan Chibei again!
Damn, what was going on?!
She must be crazy!
There was a little person in Ye Lulu's heart. She pulled her head and knocked it hard against the wall, saying crazily, "No! No! You shouldn't! What are you doing?!"
Guan Chibei did not know what impulse was in her body. He walked past her and left the house. He brought the food back to her and said, "Since you're awake, eat something."
Ye Lulu looked up as he walked closer.
Ye Lulu felt a strong urge to be near him again, and she tried to control herself. She acknowledged that she understood and took the food.
Guan Chibei looked at her, nodded his head, and turned around.
He was leaving!
These words instantly rose in Ye Lulu's heart. She immediately placed the food on the table and rushed forward without thinking. She hugged Guan Chibei from behind and wrapped her hands around his stomach.
And she was hanging on to him like that.
She was pressing tightly against Guan Chibei's back.
Ye Lulu was speechless.
Guan Chibei was confused.
Chapter 148: Liu Ya Went to the Guan Family
This time, Ye Lulu hugged Guan Chibei tightly. Guan Chibei turned around... and Ye Lulu, who was hanging on his back, followed suit. She floated in the air and had one hand wrapped tightly around his waist.
The two of them were like connected people in the house.
The three babies stared at the two of them with wide eyes!
Guan Chibei turned around uselessly and looked back at Ye Lulu with his dark eyes. There was a question in his eyes.
Didn't you just say that you treated me as a baby and hugged me by accident? Then now...?
After Ye Lulu hugged Guan Chibei tightly, that inexplicable strong urge was finally appeased.
However, when her body was satisfied, her mind suddenly reacted and...!
This posture...
Ye Lulu hung onto the man and a slow, trembling smile spread across her face.
I should die on the spot.
How was she going to explain how two unfamiliar people were hugging each other like this?
The scene froze. Ye Lulu was too embarrassed and blood rushed to her head. It was unknown if it was a sudden inspiration or if the situation was just too bad. Ye Lulu blinked and blurted out,
"I... I want to take a dump, but I'm too tired from running. My legs are trembling, so please carry me."
Guan Chibei was speechless.
As soon as she finished speaking...
Ye Lulu closed her eyes and smiled bitterly. "Guan Chibei, it's too hopeless to live. Why don't you kill me?"
Guan Chibei was speechless.
Guan Chibei's silent black eyes stared at her for a long time. She was still hanging onto him. This scene was amazing.
After a pause, Guan Chibei said in the silence, "You haven't even eaten yet, but you want to take a dump?"
Ye Lulu shivered.
Guan Chibei could feel her shiver as she leaned against him.
Guan Chibei asked, "You can't hold it in anymore?"
Ye Lulu was speechless.
Oh! Oh my!
Take her away!
Ye Lulu wanted to jump down and kowtow to Guan Chibei, telling him that she was stupid. Could he pretend that nothing had happened?
But she couldn't.
Ye Lulu could only force it down and pretend to be strong with trembling fingers. She nodded at Guan Chibei. "Yes, although my body is weak, I don't have a big problem. I have to go to the toilet every morning."
Guan Chibei nodded as well and said, "I'll carry you then."
Guan Chibei turned around and Ye Lulu followed suit. She took two steps forward. As she was on his back and her posture was not stable, Guan Chibei even raised his hand and wrapped it around Ye Lulu's buttocks, lifting her up.
Ye Lulu wrapped her arms around Guan Chibei's neck and closed her eyes sadly.
Let this misunderstanding continue.
Guan Chibei carried Ye Lulu out of the house and went to the toilet in the backyard. The toilets of farmers were built not far from their houses. Some of them had bigger courtyards, then the toilet would be in their backyard. Most of the time, a respectful bucket was placed in the house.
The Guan family's toilet was at the furthest corner in the backyard.
"Sixth Brother Guan..."
When they reached an empty backyard with a wide view and fresh air, they suddenly heard a delicate and happy cry.
"Sixth Brother Guan, I just picked a bunch of wild flowers by the river. They're very beautiful and bloomed well. I especially brought them over for you to see..."
Liu Ya was carrying a bunch of bright flowers. They were pink, purple, and yellow. They were quite beautiful. This time, she even went to the Guan family's backyard and found the door. She said shyly to Guan Chibei.
She stood outside the Guan family's backyard, remembering that this was someone else's house, and thus, did not step foot inside. However, the Guan family's courtyard did not have a wall, so it was equivalent to her standing in front of it.
She had been waiting for a while in the Guan family's backyard. She heard from the villagers that Sixth Brother Guan's house was near the backyard.
She had finally seen Guan Chibei walk out. Initially, Liu Ya only saw him and did not see that there was someone on his back, so she could not wait to speak.
When Ye Lulu, who was on Guan Chibei's back, heard this, she immediately looked up and quickly reacted. "Oh?"
Eh, so Guan Chibei had admirers in the village?!
Was he that popular?
It was the first time Ye Lulu had heard about this. She widened her eyes in surprise and popped her head out from behind Guan Chibei.
"Sixth Brother Guan, quickly come and see if these wild flowers are blooming well..." There was a bunch of flowers in Liu Ya's arms. She looked up at the person and had a timid smile on her face, creating a different kind of beauty. However, before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly became mute and saw that the man in front of her was carrying a woman.
Moreover, the most lethal thing was that her skin was smooth and her facial features were beautiful. She had dark eyebrows that looked like they were dyed. Underneath them were bright stars. Those dark eyebrows were actually suppressed by her pair of eyes and the liveliness in them.
Her perky nose was small and exquisite, but it wasn't tall and straight. Her bone structure was simply impeccable. After that, there were red cherry lips. The shape was very beautiful, and there was an indescribable charm to it. All the features on her face were very compatible.
Her face was palm-sized. The slightly sharp outline of her chin made her look like a beautiful daughter from a humble family. She could have enchanting and delicate moments, and she could also have a plain and exquisite side.
This was the reason why no one noticed how beautiful Ye Lulu was before. Her bone structure was very good, and her skin looked a little haggard. When she was thin, she only looked a little elegant.
However, when she was well-nourished, her lips were red and her teeth were white. She had bright eyes as well. At this moment, her bones gave her an oppressive beauty.
She had a unique aura. When her eyes were lively and her expression was refined, it was the beauty of an exquisite immortal.
It was obvious that Ye Lulu was much more beautiful than before.
The moment one saw her, they would immediately know why her three babies were so beautiful!
Liu Ya's gaze landed on Ye Lulu, who was on Guan Chibei's back. She had black hair and a beautiful face. Liu Ya's shy eyes suddenly froze.
Biting her lip lightly, her shy and delicate face froze.
Liu Ya had not expected to see such a scene when she came to look for Guan Chibei today!
Forget about the fact that she saw Sixth Brother Guan carrying his lawfully wedded wife on his back. Liu Ya took a step back, and the world cracked open in her eyes. The other party was so beautiful. In front of such a beautiful woman, her clear and innocent looks were not worth mentioning. The other party definitely suppressed her without any doubts.
Originally, Liu Ya thought that her slightly beautiful, weak, and fair-skinned appearance was the best at gaining men's pity and hitting their hearts. Didn't the people in the village help her a little because of that?
She had heard that Sixth Brother Guan's wife was quite good-looking.
However, Liu Ya did not take Ye Lulu seriously at all. Firstly, it was said that she was good-looking. How good-looking could she be? If the women in the mountains had slightly better facial features, they would be considered good-looking.
Besides, what was the use of looking good? A woman should be a little flirtatious, a little shy, and a little weak such that men would pity them. That would attract men the most.
As long as Sixth Brother Guan's wife was not as weak as she was, she could not compare to her.
Chapter 149: A Scene with Three People
Since Sixth Brother Guan knew how to hunt, he should be the one who saves the poorest and most pitiful her in the family, right?
Hence, Liu Ya had been taking action.
Unexpectedly... she saw Guan Chibei's wife today.
The other party... looked completely beyond her expectations.
She could not guess it previously.
Liu Ya's face froze. As she was too shocked, she forgot how to make an expression. Her almond-shaped eyes were still looking at Ye Lulu's face.
When Guan Chibei saw her, his expression did not change. He said in a cold and deep voice, "I'm sorry to ask. What has your picking of wild flowers got to do with me? Why did you show it to me?"
Oh...
Upon hearing his words, Ye Lulu glared at him and looked at him sideways. She did not expect Guan Chibei to have such an attitude towards 'wild flowers.'
Was he that decisive?
When Liu Ya returned to her senses, she was shocked by Guan Chibei's words. Her mind was in a daze, but her reaction instinctively followed her usual method. She bit her lip and looked up at Guan Chibei.
"Sixth Brother Guan. It's only because I met you by the river last time. I picked these flowers by the river. I just thought of you..."
So, it was not their first time meeting.
Ye Lulu thought to herself, 'Tsk, tsk. No wonder this girl came knocking on the door.'
As Liu Ya spoke, she looked at Ye Lulu. In her opinion, Ye Lulu was most likely unhappy over her words and had been affected by her.
Sixth Brother Guan's wife was either angry because she could tell that she was on good terms with Guan Chibei and that they had interacted quite often privately, or she was very afraid that Guan Chibei would not want her after knowing that she was a threat.
However.
Liu Ya could only see a faint smile on Ye Lulu's face, which was filled with surprise. There was no anger, jealousy, fear, or any unpleasant expression...
With that faint smile, her palm-sized face glowed even more brightly, looking even more beautiful than the flowers in her hands.
Liu Ya's eyes focused again.
She bit her lip and couldn't help but think that she must be pretending.
Guan Chibei felt that Liu Ya's actions were brainless. He did not speak to her anymore and carried Ye Lulu to the toilet. However, Liu Ya recovered from the shock of Ye Lulu's appearance and regained her spirits. She was full of fighting spirit as she stopped Guan Chibei.
"Sixth Brother Guan, wait. Is this sister-in-law? Why don't you introduce her to me?"
She looked like she respected Ye Lulu, but it was actually a provocative gesture.
Ye Lulu glanced at her.
"It's your sister-in-law." Guan Chibei said, "Hurry up and call her then."
Liu Ya said pitifully, "Sister-in-law Ye."
Guan Chibei's dark eyes did not change. "Didn't your family teach you how to address people? Ye is your sister-in-law's surname. Since she's married, you should call her sister-in-law Guan. Moreover, even if you don't know this, you address me as Sixth Brother Guan, so shouldn't you call her Sixth Sister-in-law Guan?"
The gentle expression on Liu Ya's face froze.
Ye Lulu almost laughed. She was enjoying the show.
She did not know if Guan Chibei was too direct or if he was a pure-blooded young man from the mountains, so his thoughts and words were so straightforward.
However, Guan Chibei's words could make this innocent flower, who obviously had thoughts about him, vomit blood. Haha...
Liu Ya tried hard but failed. Her face froze for a moment before she bit her lip and said softly, "Ah, I was foolish for a moment. Sixth Brother Guan is right. I only heard the villagers talk about Guan... about sister-in-law's past. I heard too much and couldn't change in time. It's Liu Ya's fault."
Ye Lulu did not treat Guan Chibei as her husband, so she did not take it seriously when she saw a woman looking for him. She just treated it as though she was watching a show.
However, when Liu Ya said this, the smile on Ye Lulu's face faded.
She could like Guan Chibei, but at the same time, she even used her identity to talk about her... This was belittling her. Oh, so she was stepped on.
Would she be willing to be bullied?
Liu Ya secretly hinted to Guan Chibei and Ye Lulu about how Ye Lulu used to be a 'beggar' who had fled. She also reminded them that she was like a pure white flower. She smiled and said to them,
"It's all Liu Ya's fault... In order to apologize, I'll give this bouquet of flowers I picked to Sixth Brother Guan and ask him to give them to... to sister-in-law, okay?"
Liu Ya struck again and smiled innocently outside the courtyard.
Ye Lulu swept her gaze over Liu Ya's face with a calm expression. She immediately understood that she was an authentic green tea b*tch.
She looked exactly like the myriad of green tea b*tches in the modern world.
Now, she was advancing by retreating.
Liu Ya smiled beautifully and handed the wild flowers to Guan Chibei. However, at this moment, Guan Chibei ignored Liu Ya and turned his head to speak to Ye Lulu. "Aren't you in a hurry? Why are you able to hold it in after talking for so long? Aren't you in a hurry to go to the toilet?"
Ye Lulu was speechless.
Oh my! She didn't expect Guan Chibei to remember this!
When she recalled how she had hurriedly found an excuse to hide when she said loudly to Guan Chibei that she wanted to take a dump, Ye Lulu fell into a social death situation again.
Ye Lulu revealed a trembling smile and put on a show. She nodded vigorously. "Yes! I was just waiting for you to say something!"
Ye Lulu was still feeling extremely embarrassed and suffocated.
Liu Ya, who was in front of them, was suddenly shocked until her face was pale. She looked at the two of them shakily and said, "You... you two, even going to the toilet, you want Sixth Brother Guan to carry you?"
When Liu Ya saw Guan Chibei carrying Ye Lulu, she thought that the two of them were just going out for a walk! It turned out that Guan Chibei was carrying Ye Lulu to the toilet!
Was Sixth Brother Guan willing to do such a disgusting thing for Ye Lulu?
Liu Ya was unwilling to accept it.
Guan Chibei looked at her and said calmly, "Yes, what's wrong? You've been standing by the toilet for so long and you didn't notice that we were walking towards the toilet?"
Liu Ya was even more shocked. She turned around and saw it. No wonder she could smell it. She thought that everyone in the village was like this and that there was livestock in the backyard. Unexpectedly, this house beside her was a toilet!
It was all the Guan family's fault for loving cleanliness. The toilet was not like most people in the village, where it would be just a pit dug up. Some people did not even build sheds for the toilets as they were outdoors. The Guan family's toilet was actually a house!
Liu Ya could not believe it. Hadn't her pure and innocent image been destroyed by the toilet?!
It was no wonder that Sixth Brother Guan did not show any signs of being interested in her just now...
Guan Chibei ignored her and carried Ye Lulu to the toilet. Ye Lulu glanced at Liu Ya and smiled. She also said,
"Didn't you say that you were going to give the wild flowers to us just now? Sure, it's just nice. I can place them in the toilet to clear the smell. The wild flowers should have some fragrance and must smell quite good."
Liu Ya's face froze completely.
Chapter 150: Ye Lulu's Body Was No Longer That of an Ordinary Mortal
...
Guan Chibei carried Ye Lulu to the toilet and placed her down at the door. Guan Chibei even asked her, "I don't have to carry you inside, right?"
Ye Lulu smiled weakly. "No need, thank you."
Turning around, Ye Lulu carried the fresh wild flowers that Liu Ya had just handed her with tears in her eyes and entered the toilet with a trembling and desolate expression...
This was the problem. She had lied to cover it up. Should she really take a dump now?
Needless to say, this bunch of wild flowers by the river did smell good. After bringing them in, the smell in the toilet was much fresher.
Ye Lulu placed the wild flowers by the window.
When she reached the toilet... Ye Lulu's face froze for a moment. Although she really wanted to take a dump, she did not feel like it now!
Her stomach was very clean and there was nothing left.
Alright, she didn't have to think about whether she should take a dump. Lies were lies, so...
She should admire the scenery outside the window in the toilet for a while...
Through the window, Ye Lulu saw that the stiff-faced Liu Ya was still lingering nearby.
Tsk, what else did this green tea b*tch want? When she 'gave' her the wild flowers just now, didn't she look like she was about to collapse?
She was so persistent. Why wasn't she leaving?
Liu Ya stood not far away and felt uncomfortable from the inside out. She looked in disbelief at the front of the Guan family's toilet Ye Lulu had entered. Guan Chibei was actually standing in front of the door, waiting for her to take a dump inside!
Liu Ya's lips trembled. Did Sixth Brother Guan and that woman really have such a good relationship?
Did Sixth Brother Guan really love the woman that much?
Ye Lulu stayed in the toilet for fifteen minutes before finally ending the torture and walking out. Guan Chibei was waiting for her at the door. He turned around and asked with a calm expression,
"Are you done? After squatting for so long, are your legs still weak?"
Ye Lulu was speechless.
Was this love?
If Ye Lulu knew how Liu Ya felt, she would definitely give her a smile.
After 'taking a dump,' Guan Chibei carried Ye Lulu back to the house and lay her down again. Only then did Ye Lulu turn her head tiredly and close her eyes. Her body was exhausted again and she fell asleep.
She would continue to sleep so that her body would self-repair.
Guan Chibei glanced at her and arranged the three babies beside her before leaving the house.
Actually, even Ye Lulu did not know what was going on, but Guan Chibei knew very well what was wrong with Ye Lulu.
She had actually died once the night she gave birth to the triplets. Then, a new soul was attached to her. It meant that the original owner had died before Ye Lulu transmigrated. She wasn't replacing her but substituting her.
Ye Lulu's body could be considered dead. After that, a new soul with vitality took over the body. Inside this body, there was life force and death energy mixed together.
After Ye Lulu had recuperated during this period of time, her life force had gradually grown stronger than the death energy. This was a sign that she had regained her mental strength.
However, after chasing the baby back this morning, Ye Lulu's energy had been exhausted, her body was damaged, and her health condition had regressed. This also meant that the life force in her body had decreased, and it was once again equivalent or even less than the death energy.
There was more death energy in her body now, so she naturally felt very close to Guan Chibei, who had strong yin energy on him.
Furthermore, the yin energy on Guan Chibei's body had the effect of nourishing a body that was mostly filled with death energy. Guan Chibei's yin energy could be converted into death energy to repair the loss of Ye Lulu's body.
