Chapter 99: “Sixth Brother Guan...”

Just like Liu Ya knew that he was the Guan family’s sixth son.

The villagers saw Liu Ya come out every day to pick wild vegetables. Which girl in the village didn’t have to work and take care of the family? However, Liu Ya had been too skinny from a young age, so it was hard for everyone not to dote on her a little more.

It could be said that in the village, Liu Ya was pitied by everyone.

Her face was small and her skin was fair. She looked a little sweet and was considered good-looking, so everyone loved her looks. Liu Ya bit her lip and said to Guan Chibei,

“Sixth Brother Guan.”

Guan Chibei stopped in his tracks. Since he had assumed this identity, he naturally had to deal with the people in the village. He looked at Liu Ya and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Liu Ya raised her large watery eyes and looked at Guan Chibei timidly. Her eyebrows were tainted with a tinge of shyness as she spoke to Guan Chibei, “Sixth Brother Guan, are you going to the river?”

They were just chatting and there was nothing he could not reply to. Guan Chibei nodded.

“Why didn’t Sixth Brother Guan stay at home to take an afternoon nap at this time?” Liu Ya’s voice was soft, but it was sweet and pleasant to the ears. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. Liu Ya’s expression became slightly ugly and she said, “You have to go to the river every day to fish for your wife to eat? Sixth Brother Guan, your wife is in confinement, right? Although she needs to nourish her body, there’s no need to spend so much on a woman in the village. It’s already very good to have fish and meat to eat once every few days.”

“Why would Sixth Brother Guan’s wife let him go to the river every day? The sky is already so cold. The river water must be very cold. Sixth Brother Guan, you…”

“How can you stand it? Although Sixth Brother Guan is a man, a man has to take care of his body.” Liu Ya looked at Guan Chibei with concern.

Guan Chibei did not expect Liu Ya to suddenly walk out and talk to him about this. Previously, Liu Ya was not familiar with the Guan family and had never spoken to Guan Chibei. This was the first time.

Guan Chibei frowned slightly and said, “I’m not afraid of the cold air. Is there anything else?”

Liu Ya widened her eyes and looked at Guan Chibei’s tall and thin figure. His face was clean and handsome. She looked down and bit her lip. She could not help but ask softly,

“Sixth… Brother Guan, I wonder if you can help me hunt for some pig feed? I still need to pick wild vegetables… It’ll be quick. Please… I didn’t pick enough wild vegetables today and will be too late to hunt for pig feed. I have to take care of my younger brothers and sisters later. My family wants me to work as well. I might not be able to make it in time.”

Liu Ya looked at Guan Chibei with pity.

It was just hunting for some pig feed. To the villagers, this was not difficult at all, especially for men. Logically speaking, Guan Chibei would help out if there was no urgent matter.

Liu Ya added softly, “I know I’ve troubled you, Sixth Brother Guan. It’s Liu Ya’s fault. Liu Ya will thank Sixth Brother Guan properly next time.”

Guan Chibei looked at Liu Ya with deep eyes. He did not know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to have seen through Liu Ya. Guan Chibei’s expression did not change much as he said calmly,

“I have something on. I need to go to the river to fish for my wife and family. I can’t be idle now. If you need help, go to the village and find someone. People should be quite free now. Some villagers will help you.”

Liu Ya’s palm-sized face instantly turned pale.

She stood in front of Guan Chibei anxiously and clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes were filled with fear and her voice trembled. “Sixth Brother Guan…”
