My Children Are Fierce and Adorable!

Chapter 157: Guan Chibei Has an Affair with Liu Ya!

“Don’t go near the river.” Damao immediately instructed in the manner of a big brother. Then, he asked, “Where did you get the candy?”

Liumao said, “It was from Sister Liu Ya.”

Initially, Sister Liu Ya said that he could not say anything because she only let him eat it. However, he did a favor to exchange for this candy later on. Thus, he could say it, right? His brothers did not help Sister Liu Ya, so even if they did not have any candy, he could not be blamed.

When Damao heard that it was Liu Ya, he felt strange. Wasn’t Liu Ya’s family the poorest? She often didn’t have any food to eat, so why was there candy?

Damao couldn’t figure it out, but it was just a piece of candy. It wasn’t a big deal. Damao carried the bucket and turned around to continue picking up the fish. He instructed Liumao, “Walk farther away and don’t go near the river.”

“Oh.” Liumao was always very obedient. He carried the candy and went to look for Wumao and Qimao.

After an hour or so, Guan Chibei scooped up the fish and went ashore. His legs were wet and he brought water with him. He put down the last basket of fish and used the cloth he had brought to wipe the water on his legs before putting down the bottom of his trouser legs.

He did not seem to be cold at all.

Guan Chibei greeted Damao and the rest who were beside him. He picked up his outerwear and put it on as he bent down to pick up the basket full of fish.

The headband was light and tied behind him. Guan Chibei did not notice it.

“We’re going back.” Guan Chibei called the Guan family’s children over. With a fish basket on one shoulder, the group of them ended their fishing work and returned to the Guan family.

It was unknown if it was a coincidence, but on the other side of Guan Chibei’s basket was the headband.

Hence, when Guan Chibei followed the road back to the Guan family and passed by the village, everyone saw that there was a light green headband on his outerwear. The style of the headband was very familiar.

Wasn’t this Liu Ya’s headband?!

The headband was Liu Ya’s iconic item. Many villagers were familiar with it, so they immediately recognized it.

A light headband followed Guan Chibei as he walked.

It was even more eye-catching.

That was Liu Ya’s headband!

Why was it on Guan Chibei?

Moreover, it was tied to his outerwear…

This woman’s intimate item actually appeared on another man. This meant that…

Some of the villagers blushed. Although the farmers were intrepid by nature, this was ultimately in ancient times. Such an incident was equivalent to Liu Ya giving Guan Chibei the socks she had made last time.

It was a very ambiguous and intimate thing…

Some of the villagers’ gazes towards Guan Chibei immediately changed. They wondered what Guan Chibei had to do with that fair girl from the Liu family.

What was going on with the two of them in private? Guan Chibei even tied Liu Ya’s headband onto his clothes and carried it along with him?!

Guan Chibei noticed that the villagers were looking at him strangely, but because the headband was almost weightless and he was carrying a fish basket on his back, Guan Chibei did not notice.

Guan Chibei walked back to the Guan family with Liu Ya’s headband. All the villagers saw him.

The children were short and all ran in front excitedly. They did not notice the headband on his body.

When he returned to the Guan family, Guan Chibei walked straight to the kitchen and placed the fish in the basket into the water-filled pond.

Afraid that the big fish would eat the small fish, the pond had been partitioned so that the fish would be reared separately.

Damao and the rest had already brought back quite a number of small fish. At this moment, quite a number of fish were already swimming in the pond, and they looked quite lively.

After putting the big fish in, Guan Chibei cleaned the pond and washed his hands before entering Ye Lulu’s house.

Ye Lulu knew where he was going today. When she saw him return, her face lit up. She looked up and said to him, “The baby kissed me just now!”

“When I hugged the eldest son, I teased him. He opened his mouth and laughed. I went close to him and teased him. Then, he held my face with his hands and kissed me!”

Ye Lulu shared excitedly with Guan Chibei, “He really held my face! He kissed me!”

Actually, at that time, the eldest son had howled and bit her face, causing her to have a full face of saliva. But she did not care! This little baby did not know how to control his strength. The eldest son must have kissed her!

Guan Chibei looked at her and his expression softened. He nodded and walked over. “Has the child peed? Do you want to change his diapers?”

“No need. I didn’t feed them too much water today…” Ye Lulu shook her head. Guan Chibei leaned over to look at the baby, and the headband on the side of his back suddenly drooped. Following his movement, a little sharpness was revealed from behind.

Ye Lulu’s cheerful voice suddenly fell silent. She naturally recognized that this was a headband used by women.

It couldn’t be something used by men…

A girl’s item had appeared on Guan Chibei’s body?!

Ye Lulu narrowed her eyes and her expression faded as she looked at Guan Chibei.

Oh… so he was in contact with another woman outside…

Tsk tsk…

Ye Lulu was also surprised. Although she did not treat Guan Chibei as her husband, she did not expect the men in the village to be so lively. They had wild flowers outside so easily available.

She only found out now.

Guan Chibei saw it too. There was something behind him?!

He hadn’t noticed it all along.

Guan Chibei’s eyes paused. He raised his hand and took off the headband. He took a look at it and did not recognize who it belonged to. “What is this? Why is it hanging on me? Did it hang itself somehow on the way back?”

Guan Chibei frowned. He did not know what it was.

Ye Lulu looked at the headband carefully and her expression immediately became meaningful. Oh, wasn’t this the headband of that white lotus in the backyard the other day?

It seemed that she had contacted him a few times.

Did he really not know or was he pretending not to know?

Ye Lulu looked at the man in front of her with interest. This was hard to say.

Guan Chibei really did not know nor did he recognize that it belonged to Liu Ya. This was because every time he saw Liu Ya, he would at most glance at her. He had never seen what the back of her head looked like.

However, Guan Chibei could tell that this was an object used by women.

“I don’t know where it came from.” Guan Chibei frowned. He then handed the headband to Ye Lulu and said, “It might have accidentally hung onto me on the way back. Do you want it? I’ll let you use it.”

Ye Lulu was speechless. “…”

Huh?

You’re letting me use that girl’s thing?!

Ye Lulu almost spat out her saliva. Did he really not recognize whose item this was?!

Ah…

Ye Lulu didn’t want to use anyone else’s things, not to mention that she didn’t know much about that little lotus flower. She said, “I don’t want to. I have my own hair tie.”

Most women in the village carved out hairpins from tree branches. Those who were from better families could go to the city and buy rough wooden hairpins. However, very few people used headbands because although they looked good when they let their hair down, they were not convenient for the women in the village to work with.

So no one used them.

This was also the reason why everyone could tell that this was Liu Ya’s headband.

When Guan Chibei saw that she did not want it, he said calmly, “Then burn it. I don’t know who this belongs to. It might be inauspicious.”

Take it… and burn it…

Otherwise, it might be inauspicious…

Ye Lulu’s face cracked. Alright, she believed that Guan Chibei really did not know whose headband this was. He had said such amazing words!

Ye Lulu looked at him in confusion. How could there be such an eloquent man?

If the bookstore did not have his books, she would destroy the bookstore!

Guan Chibei held the headband calmly but did not say much. When he saw that she was silent, he turned around and walked out. “Then I’ll take it and burn it or throw it away.”

Otherwise, where did this come from? It didn’t even belong to him. Why would he keep it?

Guan Chibei walked out, but for some reason, he saw Father Guan’s strange expression.

Father Guan was the one who had stayed at home today. After all, the pond had already been dug. He was only going to fish. It was enough for Father Guan alone to be at home. The others went to the docks to do business.

“Liu’er…” Father Guan glanced at him before looking at Ye Lulu’s house evasively. He hesitated for a moment before approaching Guan Chibei and saying,” Liu’er, what are you thinking? Daughter-in-law is still in her confinement period and the three children are so good. You… what do you plan to do now? How do you want to arrange things? What’s going on between you and Liu Ya? Do you like each other?”

Although Father Guan lowered his voice, Ye Lulu probably heard him because she was at the door.

Father Guan did not do it on purpose. He was just in a hurry to ask Guan Chibei because he could not mess things up. If Chibei wanted to be with his wife and Liu Ya… As a father, he had to think things through!

It was not to support Guan Chibei’s decision to be together with Liu Ya, but the three babies had already been born. This matter could not be delayed. They had to find out how to resolve this immediately!

Father Guan was so anxious that he did not even wait for Mother Rong and the rest to return before saying this to Guan Chibei.

Guan Chibei was stunned. “?”

What was it? What was Father Guan saying to him?

Guan Chibei did not know what was going on. He could vaguely hear the sounds of villagers outside the Guan family’s courtyard. They seemed to be loitering outside their house on purpose, as if trying to find out something. It was inexplicable and the movements of the people outside were deliberate. He could hear them immediately.

What was going on?!

Father Guan saw that Guan Chibei was silent, but he was holding that headband in his hand! This proved that what the villagers had said to him outside the house was true. Chibei really had something going on with that girl from the Liu family!

What should they do? Chibei’s wife had just given birth and they had three children now. The Guan family could not let them down!

Chibei was also bewitched… Why was he involved with the girl from the Liu family? His wife had just given birth not long ago, but he couldn’t help it?!

Father Guan could not help but frown. He reached out and patted Guan Chibei’s shoulder. “Hurry up and speak! What do you want to be a coward for? This matter must be resolved. Otherwise, how do you want Lulu to face others? How will that girl from the Liu family face others?! We’re from the same village, so we can’t just leave the matter as it is!”

Guan Chibei was even more confused. He frowned in confusion. “What are you talking about? What is it? What does it have to do with Liu Ya?”

“You’re still playing dumb!”

Father Guan was exasperated at his son’s failure to meet his expectations. “How do you want to explain this to your wife? The children? The girl from the Liu family? You can’t just leave them like this! Didn’t you think of the consequences before acting on things? How did you get together with that girl from the Liu family? Hurry up and give me an explanation. At the very least, we need to know what to do!”

“Let me tell you, our Guan family will not accept concubines. Lulu did nothing wrong either. I want to see how you’re going to handle this matter!”

Even Father Guan, who had a good temper, could not help but be angry.

When Guan Chibei heard the words ‘get together,’ he immediately understood what it meant.

He said that he had an affair with Liu Ya?!

What was this? When did this happen? Guan Chibei finally understood what Father Guan was talking about. He was speechless and indifferent. He said calmly, “When did I have anything to do with the Liu family? I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

Father Guan widened his eyes. No way?! He had never thought that his sixth son was actually a wolf who shirked responsibility and pretended to be stupid.

He actually denied it!

Father Guan was shocked. “Liu’er, you can’t do this. Everyone in the village saw it with their eyes. You carried Liu Ya’s headband along the way back. Everyone saw clearly that she had given you her intimate item! Which person couldn’t tell that it belonged to the Liu family’s daughter? If you carry it with you like this, who can you hide your matter from?! Everyone in the village already knows about this. How can you not admit it?!”

Guan Chibei’s eyes flickered as he received the important information. He looked at the headband in his hand. “You’re saying that this is Liu Ya’s headband?”

Father Guan said, “That’s right! The Liu family’s daughter has always tied this to her head. The entire village looks at her every day! Who didn’t see you carrying it on you just now?”

Guan Chibei was silent for a moment before he finally understood what it was.

No wonder he asked where this headband came from.

So they were really from the same village.

So this was the reason.

Guan Chibei’s expression was calm. He held his headband and called for Father Guan before walking towards the Guan family’s door. “Let’s go and explain things clearly.”

“Huh? Where should we talk about this, outside?” Father Guan was confused.

Guan Chibei brought Father Guan out of the courtyard. Indeed, at the Guan family’s door, dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at him. They were filled with curiosity, shock, and inquiry.

The villagers all had different expressions. Some looked down on him, some were envious, some were surprised, and some clicked their tongues.

It was obvious at a glance that everyone had seen him walk back to the Guan family with Liu Ya’s headband. After that, everyone thought that he had an affair with the youngest daughter of the Liu family.

After all, in this dynasty, it was extremely ambiguous for a man to have a woman’s intimate item with him, and vice versa.
