Chapter 763

Winter looked up at the man who had taken her water bucket. He was strong and clearly a farmer, with dark skin and calloused hands. He was looking at her with concern, noticing how delicate she looked compared to the other women in the village.

Despite being six months pregnant, Winter still appeared much more lively than the other women in the village. Her skin was fair and flawless except for her protruding belly. From behind, she still had a slender waistline that only revealed her pregnancy when viewed from the front.

This made Winter stand out even more in the small village.

Rey was already 38 years old but he hadn't found a wife yet. His family had been poor when he was younger and his parents were sickly until they passed away, leaving him alone.

He made his living by fishing on the riverbank. He worked hard every day on his small boat to catch fish from dawn till dusk and earned some money along with it.

But because of his age now, most of those who should have gotten married in their village already did so long ago; there weren't many unmarried women left like him anymore.

So when Winter arrived half a year ago as an orphaned mother-to-be, Rey became interested in her right away.

Winter not only looked beautiful but also had a kind heart that attracted Rey even more.

He often helped Winter chop wood or brought fish or noodles to share with her.

Many people by the riverbank watched them together which made Winter feel embarrassed sometimes.

She reached out again to grab Rey's water bucket, saying, "Rey, you don't need to help me; I can do it myself.”

"You're pregnant now; how can you carry water? I'm going back anyway, so let's go together,” replied Rey without hesitation as he picked up both buckets of water for them both.

In the village, they got drinking water from either fetching it directly from this clear river or carrying it home using buckets over their shoulders. Although life here wasn't as comfortable as living in cities where everything is convenient and modernized, but for Winter, this place gave her peace like never before.

The villagers were simple-minded folks who worked hard during daylight hours and rested at nightfall except for gossiping about others’ business which happened quite frequently too!

Winter didn't mingle much with these gossipy women though; instead she spent most of time alone inside her little wooden house doing needlework while waiting for childbirth soon approaching fast!

She bought some fabrics herself, sewed clothes and blankets personally by hand just for her and Clark's baby!
