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.

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.”

“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!”

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?
