Chapter 254: Ye Lulu’s Business

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Malatang was offered in countless streets and alleys in the modern era. It was fragrant! In order to make a name for themselves, they had to sell some impressive delicacies.

Ye Lulu thought for a long time and felt that Malatang was the most suitable.

Eldest sister-in-law Guan and the rest washed the newly picked tender mushrooms clean. They didn’t make any complicated dishes and just served a pot of stir-fried mushrooms.

After carrying it to the dining table, everyone in the Guan family rushed to eat this simple plate of stir-fried mushrooms. The fresh and juicy mushrooms had the sweet aura from the mountains. They were cooked simply, stir-fried quickly but accurately.

If this plate of stir-fried mushrooms were to be placed outside, many commoners in the city would not be able to eat them!

Furthermore, although the Guan family had planted some vegetables themselves during the winter, they had very few portions. To be able to eat such fresh mushrooms, everyone ate until they almost let out pig cries.

Ye Lulu looked thoughtful. Let’s see if there are enough natural supplies on the mountain. If there weren’t enough, she thought hard to see if she could remember or study ways to grow mushrooms.

The babies were already eight months old and could eat solid food long ago.

Apart from breastfeeding, Ye Lulu would also cook goat milk for the babies to drink. Of course, because she still had breast milk, there was a limit to goat milk. As for the children at home, no matter how well the Guan family ate in the village, the children of this dynasty were still lacking in nutrition. Ye Lulu was not biased and would usually prepare a bowl of goat milk for each of the Guan family’s children.

However, the babies who had been raised by Ye Lulu since they were born, looked very good.

Their little hands and feet were very long and strong.

They were fair and tender. They were just nicely chubby. The meat on their bodies was proportionate and plump. They were tender and made people want to kiss them.

Especially since the babies had recently reached the age of learning to talk, they often made sounds.

The children were much more agile than before!

It was as if they had been sensible for too long. Their eyes were bright, and they looked like they wanted to communicate with someone. Their big eyes shone, and their pink lips pouted.

Ye Lulu had already prepared solid food for them over the past few days.

First, she ground some rice flour at home and added some vegetable mash and meat mash into it to feed the babies for the first time. The three babies liked it a lot… They ate happily and their bodies became stronger.

After that, there were many changes. The babies seemed to have opened the door to a new world. They were different from before.

Their personalities became much happier.

“Oh!”

The baby pounced on Ye Lulu and his little body flailed vigorously. He wanted Ye Lulu to carry him. This meant that he wanted to go out and play.

Ye Lulu lowered her head and suddenly kissed the baby’s face. She patted his soft buttocks and lowered her head to say to the baby with a smile:

“Why do you want to go out and play all day? Which family’s child is so wild?”

The lively second son pounced on Ye Lulu.

The second son grinned like a flower and said something to Ye Lulu. He drooled all over his clothes, but he was in a good mood. He was cheerful and happy.

The babies had been learning to talk these days. Ye Lulu thought about the time. They were more than eight months old. They should have started learning to talk long ago.

It seemed that the babies were about to speak!

Ye Lulu was overjoyed. She changed the diapers for the three babies and put on thick clothes for them. Then, she picked up a baby. Mother Rong and Second sister-in-law Guan entered the house and carried the other babies. The few of them went out to take the babies for a walk.

The melted snow outside made the scenery in the mountains even more beautiful. This was also one of the reasons why the babies had been wanting to go out lately.

Not long after, someone greeted them.

That person had become thinner. Her already pitiful face had become even paler, causing her to lose her usually perfect gentleness. She had also become a little too thin and her original beauty was gone.

Her original flaw was revealed. She was skinny and looked too young. When her pitiful aura disappeared, she looked a little bitter.

That’s right. This person was Liu Ya.

After Guan Chibei threw her onto Li Liujiao’s body that night, because she had already stuck close to Li Liujiao in front of the entire village, Liu Ya belonged to Li Liujiao.

Furthermore, even if no one forced them, all the villagers would agree in their hearts.

Liu Ya’s situation was equivalent to having no choice.

The worst thing was that the Liu family had always been simple-minded and inflexible. Their family was not greedy or clingy. They were just brainless and could not figure out the truth.

When they saw that Liu Ya ‘belonged’ to Li Liujiao, the Liu family sighed in their hearts. They hated Liu Ya for not choosing the Guan family’s sixth son! How capable was Guan Chibei? How capable was he? Why didn’t Liu Ya choose Guan Chibei and followed Li Liujiao instead?!

That’s right. When the Liu family saw Liu Ya turn around and bury herself in Li Liujiao’s arms, they immediately changed their minds and believed that Liu Ya and Li Liujiao really had feelings for each other in private!

1

Previously, they thought that there was a misunderstanding between Liu Ya and Guan Chibei.

Therefore, the Liu family tacitly agreed that Liu Ya’s husband was the thirty-four-year-old man, Li Liujiao.

Moreover, based on the fact that Liu Ya ‘chose’ Li Liujiao and not Guan Chibei, the Liu family felt that Liu Ya must have liked Li Liujiao very much, which was why she ‘didn’t choose’ Guan Chibei, who was such a capable person.

Therefore, the Liu family now firmly believed that Liu Ya’s deep relationship with Li Liujiao was unstoppable.

As for Li Liujiao himself…

Although he was stunned and had not figured out the reason until now, everyone felt that Liu Ya had been in his arms and he had hugged her. Guan Chibei even said that Liu Ya had feelings for him.

Even though Li Liujiao was not sure about the entire matter, he had been single for more than thirty years. Liu Ya was a villager whose looks were not bad at all. She could also work and was young. What reason did he have to not want Liu Ya?!

Therefore, although Li Liujiao was single and usually did not miss his wife, nor did he have any other thoughts about unmarried women in his village, he did not miss out on Liu Ya when she was delivered to him.

Li Liujiao immediately followed this trend and treated Liu Ya as one of his people.

The village was indeed very cooperative. Needless to say, most of the villagers now treated Liu Ya as Li Liujiao’s unmarried wife!

The Liu family was more cooperative. When the Liu brothers saw that it was troublesome for Li Liujiao to repair his house, they actually went over to help because they had already recognized Li Liujiao as their ‘brother-in-law.’

Li Liujiao did not ask for details and had already tacitly agreed with Liu Ya about the two of them. He directly asked her about her thoughts and arrangements regarding marriage.

Only Liu Ya herself—

She felt extremely stifled, gloomy, and uncomfortable.

She was unwilling, but everyone was pushing for the matter between her and Li Liujiao. Moreover, at this point, she could no longer change the decision to break away from Li Liujiao…

Over the past few days, Liu Ya had been living a tough and gloomy life. She was much more depressed.

However, because Guan Chibei had warned her coldly that night, Liu Ya was actually very weak. She was the one who started it. As soon as Guan Chibei showed that he was not blind and had seen through all her tricks, Liu Ya immediately lost her courage and did not dare to have any negative thoughts about Guan Chibei.

Therefore, Liu Ya was suffering and disappointed now. She didn’t look good anymore.

She was still living in the Liu family now, but Li Liujiao had already claimed ownership of her. Now that she was out… she was preparing to pick wild vegetables like before.

Then, she met Ye Lulu.

When Liu Ya saw Ye Lulu carrying a baby, she felt upset. Her gaze changed and she couldn’t help but bite her lip as she looked at Ye Lulu.

Ye Lulu could feel that the expression Liu Ya was looking at her with was not good. There was no strong malice, but it was not good. She was hostile and indignant.

Ye Lulu did not take it seriously and continued to carry the baby forward. Liu Ya slowed down and her expression became even uglier. When she reached Ye Lulu, she could not help but say to her:

“Do you really think that Sixth Brother Guan… has nothing to do with me? You gave birth to Sixth Brother Guan’s children. Including taking care of the children, you should not be able to serve Sixth Brother Guan for at least two years, right? Sister… Ye.”

Liu Ya lowered her voice. Her eyes, which were not as lively as before, were deliberately dyed with gentleness and unwillingness. She smiled gently at Ye Lulu with bad intentions.

She specially called her Sister Ye. That was too much. She called Ye Lulu ‘sister’ in the capacity of a younger sister… What did that mean?

The entire sentence was practically telling Ye Lulu that she had an intimate relationship with Guan Chibei.

Didn’t calling Ye Lulu ‘sister’ mean that she was the younger sister?

Ye Lulu’s expression changed, but there was almost no heaviness in her eyes that Liu Ya wanted to see. Instead, there was only a bright smile. Ye Lulu’s aura did not change as she hugged the child and said to Liu Ya calmly:

“From the looks of it, you haven’t given birth yet. Do you know that during the first few months after the babies were born, he would wake up once every three hours to feed the babies milk and change their diapers? He couldn’t sleep well the entire night.”

“Guan Chibei sleeps in the house every night… When can he go out?”

Ye Lulu smiled and looked into Liu Ya’s eyes. “Ha, you don’t know, right? Sister.”

Liu Ya’s face turned pale instantly. She wanted to be sarcastic toward Ye Lulu, but was slapped back in the face!

Of course, Guan Chibei did not sleep in the same house as Ye Lulu, but Ye Lulu knew very well and believed that Guan Chibei did not like Liu Ya.

Liu Ya thought that she was very capable, but in fact, her horizons were very narrow. Not to mention anything else, other than being a little coquettish and showing weakness and being a little bit of a b*tch, what else did Liu Ya have?

This ‘husband’ of hers had been working in the city for a long time. Furthermore, from their interactions during this period, Ye Lulu was very sure that Guan Chibei would not have anything going on with Liu Ya.

Therefore, she was not provoked by Liu Ya at all. She even easily used Guan Chibei to lie and provoked Liu Ya instead.

When she saw Liu Ya’s expression change, Ye Lulu was amused. She thought to herself, ‘You’re too low-class, sister.’

What level was this green tea b*tch in the modern world?

The female protagonists of the novels she had read were more capable than Liu Ya.

Liu Ya bit her lip tightly, and her face became much paler. Her unwilling gaze landed on Ye Lulu’s face, and her heart was filled with hatred.

She really wanted to know why Ye Lulu had never felt uncomfortable… She really wanted to snatch away what should have belonged to her and at the very least, make her feel uncomfortable…

Just when Ye Lulu was smiling smugly.

Heavy footsteps sounded from behind her, followed by a familiar aura.

Ye Lulu turned around and her smile froze on her face.

Guan Chibei was holding a bamboo tube in his hand. His tall figure stood a few steps away and he looked at her quietly but meaningfully.

Thinking back, what did she say just now?

From the looks of it, you haven’t given birth yet. Do you know that during the first few months after the babies were born, he would wake up once every three hours to feed the babies milk and change their diapers? He couldn’t sleep well the entire night.

Guan Chibei sleeps in the house every night… When can he go out?

Guan Chibei… slept in the house… every night.

Ye Lulu’s eyes suddenly cracked open. Ah, she was caught red-handed for talking nonsense about Guan Chibei.

What kind of pain was this?

Just kill her.

Especially when… she seemed to have said such things while being ambiguous with Guan Chibei and used it to attack her love rival.

Hahaha!

Ye Lulu wanted to die.

Guan Chibei obviously did not let her off. When his deep eyes landed on her, wasn’t there a speechless meaning?

In Liu Ya’s eyes, the two of them were…

They looked at each other intimately for a long time…

Liu Ya was even more shocked.

“I’ll take out some hot goat milk and feed the babies. It’s cold outside.” Guan Chibei changed his expression and said to Ye Lulu gently, “You drink a few mouthfuls as well. Eldest sister-in-law has cooked it.”

Guan Chibei handed the bamboo tube to Ye Lulu.

He actually said these words of concern when he came out. Although he was giving goat milk to the babies, he was also letting Ye Lulu drink it together!

This consideration made Liu Ya feel like she was about to collapse.

Ye Lulu replied with an ‘oh’ and pretended that nothing had happened. She took the bamboo tube and turned around. Her head cramped, and she decided to go all out. She said to Liu Ya:

“Oh, right. When are you getting married to Sixth Uncle Li in the village? You haven’t experienced it before, so you don’t understand. After you get married and give birth, you’ll know how to take care of him at night.. You won’t tell lies that don’t match the facts.”
