Chapter 258 - Lin Yuchen Was About to Be Unlucky

Lin Yuchen nodded in understanding.

Guan Chibei’s explanation seemed ordinary, but it was actually very reasonable. Firstly, it was hunting practice. Lethality required practice. Being able to go to the battlefield meant that one had guts in archery. Many noble sons had learned archery, but they lacked practical training. Even if they shot at the training grounds, they were specially prepared prey, so they lacked real killing intent and guts.

Secondly, Guan Chibei specially said that the person who ‘taught him’ had said that he hit the mark perfectly. This also showed that he was talented. As a noble, Lin Yuchen had seen such capable people in this world.

Guan Chibei had talent in archery, so it made sense that he had improved quickly by chance.

In terms of skills, talent had a very important role.

“You’re a usable person. Have you thought of working in the government?” Lin Yuchen laughed softly. He was noble and handsome as he said to Guan Chibei, “Your archery is extraordinary. If you’re willing, you can become an official in the government. I can make an exception to let you in.”

Lin Yuchen wanted to recruit Guan Chibei into the government.

Furthermore, he looked like he was doing him a favor.

Li Yue stood by the side and looked happy. To him or to most of the villagers, entering the government was a great thing.

It was better than hunting at home.

Although Guan Chibei had earned a lot of money from hunting in private, this could not compare to the dignity or the stability of the government! Furthermore, he could be more confident in the city, let alone the village.

There was no need to think!

Lin Yuchen looked at Guan Chibei in admiration.

However, Guan Chibei opened his mouth calmly and actually rejected, “Thank you for your recognition, County Magistrate. However, this commoner lives in the mountains and has a wife and three sons. It’s not convenient for me to go out of the village to work because I have to take care of my family.”

Lin Yuchen asked in surprise, “You have three sons?”

He looked at Ye Lulu, who was carrying the second son.

The village head was still shocked that Guan Chibei had actually rejected the county magistrate’s personal recruitment to the government to be an official. He heard Guan Chibei nod calmly and say, “Yes, I have triplets. They have just been born for less than a year, so it’s difficult for me to leave.”

The corners of Li Yue’s eyes twitched. Even if he had three children and indeed needed to be by their side, this was working for the government! It was equivalent to serving the imperial court!

No one could compare to this glory!

Furthermore, if Guan Chibei entered the government to work, who would dare to bully his wife and children?

Wasn’t that silly?!

Lin Yuchen only cared about Guan Chibei’s three sons for a moment. He asked in shock, “Multiple births? Or are they brothers?”

“Multiple births.”

Lin Yuchen’s gaze landed on the second son again. Initially, he thought that he had a special fate with this baby. However, he did not know that this baby was one of three. In other words, three of them looked exactly like him!

Triplets were already unique in the world.

Lin Yuchen could not calm down. Was it because the triplets were special, or was it because this baby was really fated with him?

“The other two children…”

Lin Yuchen looked around and indeed, saw Mother Rong and Second sister-in-law Guan standing in different places in the crowd. They were each carrying a baby!

The babies were fair and delicate. Their eyebrows were exquisite, and they were as beautiful as children from the heavens. Indeed, the three babies looked exactly the same. They were the three babies of multiple births!

Furthermore… Lin Yuchen could not hide his surprise. The three babies seemed to be able to differentiate their identities. That was because their expressions were different. Needless to say, the one in the arms of the young woman was filled with disdain and dislike for him. As for the one in the arms of the elderly woman, his eyebrows were the same and his expression was stable. He looked the most like a normal baby.

On the other end, the baby the tall and thin woman was carrying had a weary expression on his face. His emotions were the most prominent. His eyelids were half open and his small mouth was pursed slightly. He looked very cold, as if he could only barely accept the woman hugging him.

He did not want to see anyone else.

Lin Yuchen’s heart skipped a beat and he had a strange feeling because the second son’s actions toward him were special. It turned out that this second son was one of the triplets. This man in the mountains, the woman, and their children… all gave Lin Yuchen a special feeling.

Even this pretty woman, who was from a poor village in the mountains, had a calm expression in front of the county magistrate. Although she had not spoken from the beginning to the end, her attitude as she hugged the baby had not changed at all. It could be said that she was not afraid at all!

Her expression was relaxed.

Lin Yuchen had never seen such a family in the mountains.

“So that’s how it is… It’s rare to see triplets. Your children are even so beautiful.” Lin Yuchen praised sincerely. Even though he was still single and even afraid of women, he was happy to see the three children. “Can your family bring the other two children over for me to see?”

The county magistrate didn’t even put on airs. He went through a mini-investigation and didn’t even call himself ‘this official.’ He only addressed himself normally.

However, he was still a county magistrate with an official position. Even the village head, Li Yue, felt proud. Their Yunwu Village was really capable. The county magistrate even asked to look at the babies their village had.

Ordinary families indeed had to be afraid. This was an honor.

However…

Ye Lulu’s expression did not change, and Guan Chibei was as calm as her. He nodded and said, “Mother, Second sister-in-law, bring the children over for the county magistrate to see.”

Mother Rong and Second sister-in-law Guan were indeed a little afraid. They were indeed excited about the county magistrate wanting to see their children and trembled slightly…

She was so excited that she handed the baby to Lin Yuchen!

This was Mother Rong’s action. She was carrying the eldest son. After she stretched out her arm, she suddenly realized what she had done and froze.

Cold sweat broke out on her face… She… She actually handed her child to the county magistrate and asked him to carry him?

What had she done?

The rest froze as well. The village head looked at Mother Rong in disbelief!

Lin Yuchen was stunned as well. He had never carried a child before.

Luo Xiu, who was beside Lin Yuchen, had a stern expression on his face and moved. He wanted to chase Mother Rong away. Who knew if there was danger on this baby!

Lin Yuchen was stunned for a moment. Just as Mother Rong broke out in a cold sweat and was afraid that she would be dragged out by the soldiers to be punished, Lin Yuchen reached out his hand in a daze and took the eldest son from her. At the same time, he asked, “Is this how you carry him? I don’t know how.”
