Chapter 170: Preparing for Winter

At this moment, the Liu family had already confirmed that the Guan family’s Chibei and Liu Ya had mutual feelings for each other. They had even confirmed that they would be together for the rest of their lives. They were just waiting to see how to arrange the status of the eldest daughter-in-law, Ye Lulu, and Liu Ya.

Liu Ya was smart as well. Of course, she would not let the Liu family go over now. She only made sure the Liu family knew of the ‘matter’ between Guan Chibei and her before pretending to say,

“Mother, Father, brothers, and sisters-in-law, please don’t misunderstand. Sixth Brother Guan and sister-in-law have just given birth to three sons. It’s a time of trouble. They don’t have time for me. I should be more sensible.”

“Don’t go out and talk nonsense. Even if there’s a future, we have to wait until Sixth Brother Guan’s babies are older.”

Liu Ya’s eyes flashed, and she revealed a desire to say something but stopped talking.

However, her meaning was very clear. Mother Liu even followed her words and said, “What logic is this? Shouldn’t we arrange for you to go over as soon as possible so that you can help the eldest daughter-in-law take care of the children as well?”

Mother Liu really did not mind Liu Ya being a concubine. She and the Liu family felt that their Liu family was poor and could not provide any dowry. The family did not have much money either.

The Guan family was better off. Moreover, Guan Chibei knew how to hunt now.

If Guan Chibei and Liu Ya really had feelings for each other, then since Guan Chibei had already married and had children, it was alright for Maid Liu to marry over and become a concubine.

If Liu Ya were to follow Guan Chibei, her life would be much better. The Guan family and the Liu family could become relatives, and the Liu family might be able to benefit as well.

Furthermore, the village didn’t care much about wives or concubines. If she were to marry over, although it would be considered a small matter, there would only be two women serving Guan Chibei. The two women would at most take note of the order of arrival, but they would interact together and there would not be any big difference in terms of seniority.

The Liu family was honest and muddle-headed. They only cared about the facts and did not mind Liu Ya being a concubine.

The entire Liu family had listened to her words and was convinced that she was involved with Sixth Brother Guan.

In the future, when they see the Guan family in the village, they might even view them as in-laws.

Liu Ya raised the corners of her lips slightly. She was satisfied and suppressed her excitement.

The Guan family and everyone else did not know that Liu Ya and the Liu family had already confirmed something. After another ten days, the sky was colder and the fields were covered in frost. Every family in the village was a little nervous and made preparations for winter.

The people in the mountains were poor. Furthermore, as long as it snowed, no one would be able to leave once the mountain was sealed.

Therefore, everyone in the village was nervously preparing food for winter.

The rumors about Liu Ya from earlier also faded.

This was exactly what the Liu family wanted. She was also involved with that lowly down-and-out man, Sixth Uncle Li. It was best to lay low for the time being and stop the rumors between her and Sixth Uncle Li.

It was best to talk about her and Sixth Brother Guan later.

The Guan family went on with their days as usual, and no one cared about anyone else. After resting for a while, Ye Lulu’s body had recovered quite a bit. She could feel that the outside world was getting colder. She also calculated the days. Hence, one day, when Guan Chibei came in to help the babies change their diapers, she poked Guan Chibei.

“Can you make a trip into the city? We have to buy some cotton cloth and cotton. The babies need thicker clothes such as jackets during winter. We also need to have a few thick blankets to cover them.”
