The other Liu family members were too honest and did not understand what the sisters-in-law meant. However, Liu Ya must have understood it and almost cried from the mockery.
Mother Liu did not know what her daughters-in-law were talking about, nor did she know anything. She even said to Liu Ya with a worried expression, “I heard that you have an affair with the Guan family’s sixth son? Is that true? If it’s the Guan family’s sixth son, what should we do? He has already been married for a year and his wife has just given birth to three children for him. If you have an affair with the Guan family’s sixth son, what will you do?”
When Liu Ya heard that her mother was ignorant, her eyes lit up.
However, when the sisters-in-law heard about today’s matter, they roughly guessed the truth. Now that they saw Mother Liu actually think that Liu Ya really had an affair with Guan Chibei, the sisters-in-law even revealed looks of disdain.
However, because Guan Chibei knew how to hunt, the news of him often returning with prey had already spread throughout the village. If they could get Guan Chibei to come to their house and become related to the Liu family, it would be a good thing for them.
Hence, the sisters-in-law did not say anything.
As if her heart was on fire, Liu Ya’s eyes lit up. She looked at her mother and said, “I… I… Mother, why are you talking nonsense? There’s nothing between Sixth Brother Guan and me.”
Mother Liu said worriedly, “The entire village is talking about the two of you. Everyone knows about it but you still say there’s nothing!”
The more Mother Liu said that, the brighter Liu Ya’s face became. However, she said, “I really have nothing to do with Sixth Brother Guan! I’ve already said it clearly. Sixth Brother Guan already has a wife and children. I… I only spoke a few words to Sixth Brother Guan in private. What kind of relationship would we have? Mother, don’t ruin Sixth Brother Guan’s reputation.”
Liu Ya was using her tricks again. Her words were filled with hidden meanings that made Mother Liu think that she was related to Guan Chibei even more.
“Why are you so worrisome?” Mother Liu was really weak and helpless. She said, “If you and Guan Chibei are in love and are interested in each other, our family naturally won’t object to this. If possible, our family agrees to let you marry into the Guan family.”
Liu Ya’s cheeks flushed red and her eyes were filled with embarrassment. With such a shy expression, who would think that there was no love between Guan Chibei and her?
Mother Liu’s words hit the nail on the head. Liu Ya listened with excitement.
Mother Liu continued, “But now, Guan Chibei has already married and his wife has given birth. How should we settle you down? What about the Guan family? Since Guan Chibei is related to you, we can’t hide it from the Guan family now. What did the Guan family say? Did they say anything about settling your private affair?”
Mother Liu’s words indicated that she had been misled into thinking that there was a relationship between Liu Ya and Guan Chibei. Furthermore, it had escalated to the point where it was confirmed and needed to be settled!
However, the Liu family was stunned. No one realized that something was wrong. They listened at the dining table in a daze.
The sisters-in-law knew very well but did not say anything.
As for Liu Ya, her eyes had already completely lit up. Excitement was brewing in her heart. She pursed her lips and revealed the shyness of a daughter. She still maintained her rhythm and did not echo Mother Liu. Instead, she said,
“Mother, don’t talk nonsense! Although I’ve been to Sixth Brother Guan’s house, what arrangement is there between us? Don’t talk nonsense!”
Liu Ya even mentioned that she had been to the Guan family before!
Although the details of her going to the Guan family weren’t like that, saying this now would be misleading!
Even the Liu family’s sisters-in-law looked at each other strangely. They did not expect that their younger sister would really be involved with the Guan family’s Guan Chibei, who knew how to hunt.
