Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Guan Chibei had gone up the mountain a few days ago to hoard prey. He had brought the goats back and raised them at the livestock pen. It was not close to Ye Lulu’s house, and Guan Chibei had not mentioned it to her when he entered the house.
Therefore, Ye Lulu did not know that there were two pairs of goats at home.
As for the goats, they had been in the Guan family for a few days and had just gotten used to the environment. Therefore, they started to relax and bleat leisurely.
That goat bleated and Ye Lulu heard it,
Ye Lulu’s ears twitched. When she listened carefully, she heard another energetic bleat.
It was obviously the cry of a goat!
Ye Lulu was shocked and immediately called the children’s father in. “Guan Chibei!”
When Guan Chibei entered the house, Ye Lulu asked him impatiently with bright eyes, “I heard the cries of goats? Do we have goats at home?”
“Yes,” Guan Chibei replied with dark eyes. He did not expect her to have such a huge reaction. He had not thought much of it before and did not tell her.
“I caught two mother-and-child pairs on the mountain a few days ago. When I saw that they were very energetic, I brought them home to raise. I didn’t kill them,” Guan Chibei said.
“Don’t kill them!” Ye Lulu laughed. “Mother-and-child pairs? That’s great! The babies have goat milk to drink!”
Ye Lulu was genuinely amused. Since she came from the modern era, she naturally knew how good goat milk was.
When the babies grow a little older, she wouldn’t have enough milk to feed them. She could then use goat’s milk as a substitute.
When the babies start eating solid food, goat milk could provide good nutrition.
She could get whatever she wanted.
The babies had food to eat when they grow up!
Ye Lulu’s eyes lit up. “Raise those two pairs of goats! Wow, there are even two pairs! Haha, the heavens are really helping… We can provide goat milk for the babies! That’s very good for the babies!”
Guan Chibei’s gaze landed on her face, which seemed to be shining as well. He nodded, not knowing what emotions were in his eyes.
When Ye Lulu found out that there were goats at home, she was overjoyed the entire day. She even urged Guan Chibei to take good care of the mother goats and nourish them well. The entire Guan family was happy today.
All the goods that had been bought for winter had already been stored at home.
After two days, the Guan family’s wall was built.
Not bad, it was quite fast.
As this should be the last job for the workers before winter, they were in a hurry and worked hard, so the construction speed was very fast. It took only a few days.
Now, there was a tall wall outside the Guan family’s courtyard, securing the Guan family tightly. The other villagers and neighbors could no longer peek into the Guan family.
The discussion in the village changed as well.
According to the experienced elders in the village, based on the weather and scenery, they predicted that the first heavy snow would arrive in a few days.
The Yuan River voyages were about to stop as well. There was already a clear notice about this. Mother Rong and the rest were fighting for time to set up their stall.
As for the farmers in Yuan City, the smell of winter was already strong. Many commoners stopped work and returned home to rest.
In Yunwu Village, some people who were working in the city outside also returned.
Most of them were men. Only a few women went to the city to be embroiderers, nannies, or cooks.
The village was bustling with noise and excitement.
At the same time, there were more people who had nothing to do. They walked around the village more often and saw new things in the village.
Among them was a family surnamed Xiong in the village.
This Xiong family was not considered a big family in the village. There were only three people, a father, and two sons. Their house was built at the village entrance. However, their family was a little special in the village. They were famous for not being easy to deal with. The reason was that this family of three was very tall and strong!
Especially the two sons, they were born with big chunks of meat. Their strength was as impressive as the firm and bulging meat on their bodies. They were a head taller than ordinary villagers and were almost half a body bigger.
Standing in the village, they looked like a small mountain, making people feel extremely pressured. The villagers didn’t dare to provoke them easily.
Although their father was in his twenties or thirties, he was unusually tall and strong. He had firmer muscles than the others. Although his age was a little older, his strength and foundation exceeded the others.
That was because he was still working, just like young men in their prime.
As expected, the two sons of the Xiong family were even more amazing. They spent most of their time in the city as fighters for the largest casino!
The salary was very high, so they simply stayed in the city. They would only return to the village during the Lunar New Year period. The rest of the time, they worked in the city.
They came into contact with all kinds of people who were not to be trifled with. They were also strong and powerful. Their family’s wealth was also higher than the conditions of the villagers.
The three of them didn’t have wives or children now. Mother Xiong had passed away long ago. After that, Father Xiong didn’t marry anyone else and lived with his two sons.
The two brothers from the Xiong family were already grown up, but for some reason, they had no intention of getting married. The whole family usually worked in the city together like this, and only went home during the New Year.
Therefore, the Xiong family had been living well.
This year, the Xiong family returned to the village. When they had nothing to do, they walked around the village to see if there were any new changes in the village and also to kill time.
With their tall and strong bodies, they were indeed quite outstanding when walking in the village. Ordinary villagers avoided them when they saw them.
The expressions of the Xiong family were calm. They were used to this. Ordinary people would be afraid when they saw them. They only walked slowly in the village.
They had just arrived at the village entrance when they encountered Mother Liu. There was also the extremely thin and frail-looking Liu Ya carrying a basket to pick wild vegetables. When they passed by them, Mother Liu was saying to Liu Ya,
“You have good taste. It looks like Guan Chibei is more capable than what everyone thinks. You heard the villagers discussing how much prey he had hunted on the mountain this time? They said that he was capable and that wild ducks, pheasants, wild hares… They were all carried down the mountain as if they were free. There was also bigger prey like musk deers and goats!”
“Wow… he’s really capable. Everyone in the village is envious of him. However, you’re the only one who has an affair with Guan Chibei… This is a good thing. In the future, when you enter the Guan family, you’ll be able to enjoy life!”

Mother Liu’s eyes darkened. She did not seem to be smart and her words reflected how considerate she was of her children.
She did not want to take any benefits from Liu Ya.
Instead, she was really happy for her.
Liu Ya blushed and said with a shy expression, “Indeed… Yes, Sixth Brother Guan is too powerful. When I was… together with him, I didn’t expect him to be so powerful. I thought that it was already good enough that he could occasionally go up the mountain and catch prey.”
“You’re such a silly girl. You happened to settle down with Guan Chibei for the rest of your life. It’s time for the Guan family to have a change of luck. Their family will definitely be doing well in the future. They won’t be like this.. They might even be one of the top families in the village.”
