Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Lulu was speechless. “…”
Ermao and Sanmao looked down at the babies and said softly, “Sixth Aunt, why doesn’t younger brother eat?”
Ye Lulu laughed. “Younger brother is too young to eat.”
“Sixth Aunt, why is it a younger brother and not a younger sister?”
“…” Ye Lulu was at a loss for words. “He was born to be a younger brother. I had no choice.”
“Oh.” Simao was very disappointed. “We want a sister. There are too many ‘maos’ at home.”
“?” Ye Lulu was shocked. By ‘Mao’, was this child talking about himself? Haha!
“We want a potato! Or a sweet potato,” said Wumao.
The corners of Ye Lulu’s lips twitched wildly. She did not know why, but she immediately understood what the children meant. ‘Mao’ meant boys. The only granddaughter from the Guan family was called ‘Radish.’ Thus, ‘Potato’ and ‘Sweet potato’ meant girls.
Ye Lulu was speechless. “…”
… These kids really knew how to summarize the rules.
The children looked at their younger brothers and chatted with them for a long time before leaving reluctantly. Everyone was present tonight, and the houses were bustling with noise and excitement. It was only after a while that the surroundings became quiet.
…
The next morning, when Guan Chibei was about to leave the house, Mother Rong reminded him when she saw that he was going to look for food for Ye Lulu again, “Lulu has just given birth and should eat pork trotters and fish soup with milk. Exchange for something useful.”
The bone soup was good and nutritious, but it was not what Ye Lulu needed the most right now.
When Guan Chibei heard those words, his gaze did not change much. He paused for a moment and nodded to Mother Rong to show that he understood before leaving.
He went up the mountain again. Guan Chibei walked deeper into the mountain today and released the dark yin energy on his body.
A cold aura filled the forest. Guan Chibei heard a slight noise ahead and walked forward. A moment later, he caught a half-grown goat!
Guan Chibei picked up the goat and left.
Although the goat was not an adult yet, it was not small. Guan Chibei could carry it with one hand. Under the rough clothes that had been washed many times, the outline of his arm muscles was revealed.
Guan Chibei went down the mountain and carried the goat to the only butcher in the village who sold meat.
With a bang, the living goat was placed in front of the butcher.
“You…” The butcher was shocked, but then he saw that the goat’s eyes were shining. It was such a big goat, and it was still young. Most importantly, it was still alive! If it was sold in the city, it would be most liked by the rich merchants, officials, and nobles. This was a huge sum of money! “Chibei, this… you hunted this on the mountain? You’re so powerful. This goat isn’t injured at all. This goat, are you selling it…”
“Exchange,” Guan Chibei said. “This goat will be exchanged for three months worth of pork trotters. It doesn’t have to be every day, just once every three days. Are you keen?”
The butcher’s expression changed. Three months’ worth of pork trotters?! However, he secretly calculated that he was only a butcher in the village. At most, villagers in the neighboring village would come over to buy meat from him. There wasn’t much meat on pork trotters, and it was also quite an expensive dish to cook. It wasn’t something that most ordinary women could afford during their confinement period. In that case, pig trotters weren’t easy to sell either… He didn’t need to provide pork trotters every day, but once every three days. In that case, it would be just a full month…
A living mountain goat could be sold for money. It was not a loss?!
