Chapter 116 - The People from the Meng Family

He nodded silently and did as she said. He helped her get a thin blanket and placed it by the bed. Then, he carried the small and soft Niu Wa out of the house.

Madam Meng-Li wanted to get up and stop Guan Chibei from carrying her child back, but Ye Lulu held her down. This was such a strange matter. She would not be letting this go.

Guan Chibei carried Madam Meng-Li’s son and went to the Meng family’s house at the village entrance.

The ones who came out were Father Meng and Niu Wa’s father, Meng Gang. The two of them stood at the front while the other men and women from the Meng family followed behind them.

Father Meng’s eyes narrowed when he saw that Guan Chibei was carrying his family’s Niu Wa. He instinctively asked, “You’re the Guan family’s sixth son? Why are you carrying our Niu Wa?!”

It was impossible to hide anything in the village. There were people walking around the village at all times. When Guan Chibei walked over with a baby in his arms, he had already attracted the attention of many people. The scene in front of the Meng family’s door attracted more villagers to look at them.

When Father Meng and Meng Gang saw the newborn boy, they were extremely nervous.

Guan Chibei was tall and strong. He stood there steadily, carrying Niu Wa. He followed what Ye Lulu had instructed him to say and told them the truth.

The Meng family’s eyes tightened.

Actually, when they saw Guan Chibei coming over, they had already guessed that it had something to do with the confinement.

However, when Father Meng heard Guan Chibei say this, his face tensed up. He said to Guan Chibei, “What are you saying, Guan Chibei?! This is our family’s newborn Niu Wa. Everyone in the village has seen him before. There’s no one who doesn’t know about it! You’re still talking nonsense. How dare you say that our Niu Wa is an orphan?!”

Everyone looked on.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Guan Chibei did not move while carrying the child. His aura did not change as he said steadily, “You also know that this is your family’s child? Since he isn’t an orphan, why did his mother carry this child to our Guan family’s door and ask our Guan family to serve his mother during her confinement period? Why did she want our Guan family to take care of this child?”

They did not expect Guan Chibei to say these words out loud!

The Meng family members looked at one another for a moment before trembling, not knowing how to react.

The surrounding villagers were in an uproar. What?! What did they hear?!

The Meng family’s third daughter-in-law actually carried her baby to the Guan family for confinement? She even wanted the Guan family to provide for her baby? What was going on?

Everyone started to gossip. No wonder Guan Chibei carried the baby and went straight to the Meng family’s house. Something big was happening!

The people from the Meng family paused and could not say a reason. Guan Chibei said, “Your daughter-in-law is still lying in our house. She slept on the bed in my wife’s house for no reason. Go and bring her back yourselves.”

The villagers were boiling with anger. She was even sleeping on a bed in someone else’s house?! Didn’t the Guan family have nothing to do with the Meng family’s third daughter-in-law?

What was going on? Why was it so strange?!

Guan Chibei was still carrying Niu Wa as he turned around and walked back to the Guan family.

The Meng family could only follow behind.

More people in the village heard about this and followed along to see the commotion.

The Guan family heard the commotion. The Meng family had arrived.

Ye Lulu sneered silently and draped a thin blanket beside the bed. Mother Rong had made changes to this thin blanket and specially sewed a dark band at each of the four corners.

Ye Lulu put the thin blanket on her body and tied the strap over her shoulder. The entire thin blanket seemed to have become a cloak, and the corner that was hanging down happened to become a hat.

Ye Lulu put the hat on her head and wrapped herself as tightly as possible before getting off the bed. Then, she carried Madam Meng-Li, who had been wrapped in a blanket, off the bed and led her out of the Guan family’s door.
