Chapter 35: Guan Chibei Dotes His Wife
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Guan Chibei spent all the money he earned today.
The villagers who deliberately paid attention to his movements were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. They watched in astonishment as he carried a pile of things and even went to the city’s docks to look for Father Guan and the rest.
Guan Chibei did not let Father Guan and the rest follow him home.
After all, they had already gone out to do manual labor. If they went back after working for half a day, it would be a waste of their efforts that morning.
A farmer could work hard. As long as their physiques were not damaged, it was not a big deal. Guan Chibei did not feel that it was inappropriate for him not to work as a laborer. He had hunted for food. Did he not earn enough for his family?
He bought a few large meat buns to add to Father Guan’s and the rest’s meals.
The men from the Guan family were all stunned when they received such hot meat buns. They even looked at Guan Chibei’s belongings…
The other laborers also watched as the men from the Guan family ate the fragrant meat buns. At that moment, many men at the docks couldn’t help but pay attention to this side.
Guan Chibei returned to Yunwu Village after delivering the meat buns. He took the ox cart and spent the last copper coin he had on him.
When he returned to the village, Guan Chibei walked back to the Guan family. The news of him doting on his wife quickly spread throughout the village…
The news of Guan Chibei selling his prey in the city had already spread as well.
Especially since most of the things he bought were for pregnant women to nourish their bodies, it was very obvious who he had bought them for. The villagers started to spread the news one by one, and it caused a huge commotion.
“A lot of people saw Guan Chibei buying a bunch of things for his wife!”
“Ye Lulu’s so blessed… After giving birth, her husband doted on her so much. He hunted so much prey and bought her everything.”
“There’s brown sugar and black chicken. Ye Lulu doesn’t have to worry about her nutrition during this confinement period anymore.”
While the villagers marveled at Guan Chibei’s ‘generosity’, many of them were envious of Ye Lulu’s blessing. Not everyone in a poor village could receive such good treatment after giving birth.
No matter how many children there were, if they didn’t have the conditions, there wouldn’t be such good treatment.
Therefore, everyone exclaimed in surprise and admiration. Among them, there were people like Auntie Tian who couldn’t bear to hear everyone’s envy of Ye Lulu.
“How is she lucky? She only knows how to lay at home and eat white rice. If you ask me, that kind of woman is here to ruin the Guan family.” Auntie Tian was indignant and unconvinced. She said in an unpleasant tone in the village, “And that Guan Chibei too. How much money does he have from selling those prey? It was supposed to be the Guan family’s money, but now it’s all spent on a woman. That woman isn’t surnamed Guan. He’s such a failure! This couple isn’t good at all…”
“This daughter-in-law needs the whole family to provide for her. Whoever has such a daughter-in-law would have bad luck in their eight lifetimes! Guan Chibei’s money has been wasted…”
There were indeed villagers who were slightly stunned and listened on. In the village, every family was short on money, and not many families spent as much money.
Just as some people’s expressions started to change, Guan Chibei, who happened to be walking past the house, heard Auntie Tian’s extremely mocking words. He stopped in his tracks.
Everyone was stunned and looked a little evasive. Auntie Tian’s face was mean and sharp. She did not avoid Guan Chibei and looked at him from the corner of her eyes.
She didn’t say anything wrong. She wanted to see what Guan Chibei, a young man, could do to her.
Auntie Tian was completely unafraid of Guan Chibei.
Instead, her attitude became even more provocative.
