Li Yue said, “The person you’re talking about is very obvious. I know him. He’s Brother Wei from the city, right?”

The village head returned to the main topic with a solemn expression. He was the village head, one of the most frequent people who left for the city in the village. He was the most familiar with the city. Brother Wei committed all kinds of crimes in the city, and his name was well known by everyone. Therefore, the village head knew who it was.

“It’s actually Brother Wei…” The village head frowned. “That would be troublesome. I don’t know what happened to Brother Wei. He actually came to our village to steal children? How did he know that we have triplets in our village… Moreover, Brother Wei is an evil person and has some influence in the city. He has run away now. Fortunately, we got the child back, but I don’t know how to catch him. ”

It was not that the village head was afraid of trouble, but it was indeed troublesome. They could not catch him.

“A few days ago, a big girl in the city was abducted by Brother Wei… In the end, she was thrown out naked on the street. However, no one got hold of Brother Wei because they couldn’t catch him red-handed. There was no evidence, and they didn’t dare to provoke Brother Wei.”

The village head’s expression was bad.

When these words were said, everyone in the village was silent.

It was unknown what most people were thinking. However, at this moment, a malicious voice sounded. “What should we do? It’s all the Guan family’s fault! Most importantly, it’s that Ye Lulu! Since she gave birth to three children and attracted the villains, wouldn’t our village offend people that we can’t afford to offend? Won’t we suffer in the future?! What should we do?!”

Guan Chibei looked over and saw Auntie Tian standing among the villagers with a mean look in her eyes.

Immediately, the expressions of some villagers changed. They looked at the Guan family hesitantly and fearfully…

A bad atmosphere rose.

Guan Chibei’s dark eyes swept past Auntie Tian and he said unhurriedly, “It’s almost winter. Why would Brother Wei come to steal children? He wants to earn money. Our family is the first to have a child nearly carried away. The village is wide open and anyone can come. What if it were someone else’s turn next time… The village has babies all year round.”

“This isn’t someone our Guan family attracted over, but our Guan family was the first to be harmed. If Brother Wei and the rest think that the people in our village are easy to bully and specially came to steal children, we should be feeling afraid and worried now, instead of thinking about other things.”

Guan Chibei’s calm voice seemed to have swept past Auntie Tian as he said, “It’s best if someone doesn’t pick on our Guan family. This matter involves the entire village, and it’s not our Guan family who should be responsible.”

The atmosphere in the village became silent again with deep worry.

Guan Chibei had made it too clear!

Yes, that was it. There was no need to blame the Guan family. Brother Wei and the rest came to the village because they felt that small villages in the mountains were easy to bully. Furthermore, they wanted to steal children to exchange for money before the New Year.

This was a very bad matter. The entire village needed to think of a countermeasure and not divert the conflict.

“But that was also because your Guan family gave birth to triplets! News of this spread, that’s why it attracted people.” Auntie Tian didn’t relent and said, “It was your Guan family who attracted the villains to our village! Now that the villains have their eyes on our village, it’s all because of your Guan family! According to me, that beggar daughter-in-law of yours, Ye Lulu, is a disaster. The triplets she gave birth to are three scourges!”

“I knew it. That Ye Lulu was so skinny. She had no breasts and no buttocks. It was not easy for her to give birth. How could she give birth to three children in one go? Look, those three are scourges!”

It turned out that Auntie Tian’s heart was really vicious.

She actually labeled the three babies who had just turned one month old as extremely vicious and wanted to call them scourges…

One had to know that in ancient times, this was a huge taboo.

There were indeed villagers whose expressions changed.

Guan Chibei looked into Auntie Tian’s dark eyes. His aura did not change, but his voice was calm and intimidating. “According to what you said, that big girl in the city was harmed because she was a scourge. That’s why she attracted villains? Therefore, the girls in the entire Yuan City have to blame that big girl for attracting Brother Wei and not Brother Wei himself?”

“Brother Wei even went against the government and stole their rice grains, but the government didn’t capture him. According to what you said, the government is a scourge as well. They displayed so many rice grains for Brother Wei to steal. Now, everyone has to be worried that Brother Wei will steal their rice grains. It’s all the government’s fault, right?”

Auntie Tian’s mouth turned hoarse.

Guan Chibei’s thoughts were calm and collected.

The former was fine. Since Brother Wei could harm her and even throw her out naked, it must be that girl who was indecent. She was probably alluring. Otherwise, why would she attract men?

However, when it came to the government, ordinary citizens immediately cowered when they heard about them. They were shocked and did not dare to argue.

Guan Chibei revealed a cold expression. “Brother Wei chose our family first and almost took the child away. We chased the child back and it was considered fine. What If he chooses another family and takes the child away but you do not manage to chase him back? Everyone should think carefully about the consequences.”

Guan Chibei’s words pulled back the thoughts of the villagers.

Those who had just given birth could not help but shiver.

Yes, the Guan family was lucky and there were many people. The child was almost carried away but they still chased him back. But what if it was another family?

They shouldn’t be resenting the Guan family now. Instead, they should be on guard together against these villains.

Auntie Tian choked back her words. She was still black-hearted and extremely indignant. She wanted to say something, but Auntie Huang, who was helping the Guan family, couldn’t help but curse.

“This black-hearted person from the Tian family is bent on splashing dirty water on the Guan family, right? In that case, when your Tie Wa left for the city last time, he even stole other people’s sugar! While they were turning around to receive the money, he used his pocket to grab more than one catty of sugar! He hid it and returned to the village! That merchant in the city chased him all the way to the village! Then, shouldn’t you blame your Tie Wa for making our village a laughing stock?”

“You’re really evil. Their biological father was still alive after they were born. Their mother was also fine. There were no disasters in our village either. It was because they were too beautiful that the villains almost carried them away. You, a black-hearted woman from the Tian family, splashed dirty water and said that the children were scourges! Why are you so wicked? You deserve to not have given birth to a second son.”

Auntie Huang’s combat strength was comparable to Mother Rong’s. Furthermore, she was a small loudspeaker. She spoke very well and the last trace of doubt on everyone’s faces disappeared.

That was right. Speaking of Guan Chibei’s rebirth and that Ye Lulu was fine after a difficult labor, didn’t this prove that the triplets were lucky stars and not scourges?

Their father could even come back to life!

The villagers were completely at ease.

As for Auntie Tian, she choked on her words until she panicked. She was indignant as long as she didn’t harm the Guan family. Now, Auntie Huang mercilessly poked her sore spot and said that she wouldn’t be able to give birth to a second son.

Auntie Tian’s face immediately darkened as she shouted at everyone,

“But I have big buttocks and it’s easy for me to give birth! Which villager doesn’t admit that this is a saying passed down by the ancestors? So why did that Ye Lulu give birth to three skinny children in her lifetime?! Tell me the reason. If that Ye Lulu wants big buttocks, she doesn’t have big buttocks. If she wants a chest, she doesn’t have a chest! How can she give birth? How can she raise them?!”

Auntie Tian had really pushed her unreasonableness to the limit by saying such crooked logic. However, the problem was that this theory had really been passed down for many years. No one could refute it at that moment.

At this moment, Guan Chibei stood in front of everyone. His eyes were dark as he followed Auntie Tian’s words. It was unknown if he did not think deeply or if he was deliberate, but he suddenly said,

“Who said that my wife doesn’t have big buttocks or a chest?”
