Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich-Chapter 235 - 234 Visit
Chapter 235 -234 Visit
The five sisters heard what the youngest aunt had to say and felt that she was simply praising herself. In their young hearts, they had already heard many people say that they were more beautiful than all three aunts.
They were still young, and at this moment, only their looks could be seen; their figures had not yet developed. A girl changes at eighteen— who knows if they would turn out to be peerless beauties?
Once the youngest aunt reached this age, there was no more change; after getting married, she would just become a married woman, and no matter how she might change, it would hold no significance.
“Yes, the youngest aunt has a plump figure,” Ye Mei Qi said with a smile.
“What kind of way is that to speak? My beauty,” Ye Shuzhen glared at Ye Mei Qi.
Ye Shiqi chuckled lightly. Perhaps in ancient times, this kind of plumpness was truly considered beautiful.

In her previous life, she had heard that an ancient figure, Yang Yuhuai, was known for her voluptuous beauty.
There was even a modern actress who played Yang Yuhuan and deliberately gained weight for the role.
“Little aunt, you’re a bride today, so try not to argue with them.”
Quanfuren was present, and of course, she saw Ye Shuzhen roll her eyes at her nieces. What she meant to say was that as the bride, she should be happy today and not engage in such negative behaviors.
If it had been a regular day, and a village woman like her had been so talkative, Ye Shuzhen would have given her a piece of her mind. But today was her wedding day, so she could only accept the advice given by others.
“You all go out! Stop annoying me here.”
Ye Shuzhen waved her nieces away impatiently. After her nieces left, she was accompanied by Quanfuren all day, until the bridal sedan from the groom’s family arrived, and with the matchmaker, she boarded the sedan.
As she anxiously awaited, the bridal sedan had not yet arrived, but she couldn’t help needing to relieve herself.
“Little aunt, don’t drink so much water,” Quanfuren said.
“I know, stop nagging,” Ye Shuzhen replied, clearly irritated.
“Daughter, have you finished dressing up?” Mrs. Lai finally showed up, concerned about her daughter.
By then, some relatives had already arrived. Hostess duties were not required of her, yet she stayed in the living room, ready to receive the gifts from the family members.
This was her daughter’s wedding—a prime opportunity to collect a fortune in silver coins. Not all gifts that came would be taken away by her daughter; some she would keep for herself.
Mrs. Lai was rather calculating; when her daughters married off, she would surely have grandchildren.
She intended to hoard the fabric gifts from relatives, to give to her grandchildren upon their birth.
Before long, her second daughter’s child would be born, and as the grandmother, she would certainly need to present gifts.
She could have her son pay for these gifts, but as the grandmother, she wanted to hand-sew clothes for her grandchild. Currently, her eyesight wasn’t great, so she could hand the fabric over to a worker to make the clothes.
The bride waiting in the room didn’t seem as important.
“Mother, why did you only come in now?”
On a normal day, Ye Shuzhen would have gone out to the yard, but today was special. Like a Lady, she waited in her room.
It was vital not to show her face to outsiders today.
“Mother was busy, all the relatives have come.”
“Isn’t the eldest sister-in-law there? You don’t care about your daughter anymore.”
“What does your eldest sister-in-law know? She still needs mother to give her pointers, doesn’t she?”
Ye Shuzhen pursed her lips. How could a daughter not know what her mother was thinking?
“Mother, after your daughter is married, we won’t see each other often. You must come to visit when you have the time.”
“Silly child, this will always be your home. Come back to visit us when you have time; your father and I will miss you.”
“Mother, I am getting married. I can’t bear to leave you!”
Ye Shuzhen acted coquettishly by her mother’s side, with Mrs. Lai sitting beside her.
As the mother and daughter conversed heart to heart, Quanfuren quietly walked out and closed the door behind her.
Mrs. Lai whispered some words into her daughter’s ear, and then gave her a small booklet.
These were a mother’s words to her daughter before marriage, about the ‘Three Obediences and the Four Virtues’, following and serving her husband, and respecting her in-laws.
Ye Shuzhen just listened and nodded. Her mother spoke these words, but even her mother had not necessarily been able to achieve them.
She opened the booklet her mother had given her. Her already rouge-tinted cheeks flushed even redder. She had learned some characters these past days and could understand the writing in the booklet. What made her most embarrassed were the drawings.
“Mother, how could you give me such a book to look at?”
“Fool, you’re about to get married. It’s certainly mother’s duty to teach you. Your two elder sisters had these before they were married.”
“Mother, how did you come by such a thing?”
“Fool, before your mother married, your grandmother also gave me one. In fact, such books are sold in bookstores.”
“This…”
At a loss for words, Ye Shuzhen tucked the book into her trunk.
At that moment, Mrs. Lai reluctantly pulled out a wallet from her pocket and said to her daughter:
“I don’t have much money. This is some dowry money for you. A woman should not be without money in hand. Hide your private savings well and be frugal. If you encounter any difficulties, come back to your mother.”
Mrs. Lai’s words almost moved Ye Shuzhen to tears; she hugged her mother’s plump body, her eyes reddening.
“Alright now, you’ll be someone’s wife, and after you’re married, you mustn’t be so capricious. Being at your parents’ home is very different from being at your husband’s. Tolerate what you must, but don’t let others bully you. We must stand tall when it’s time to stand firm.”
After saying this, Mrs. Lai handed the wallet to her daughter to hide inside the trunk, for a bride’s belongings did not include money bags.
Mrs. Lai then took out another wallet and, opening it, said to her daughter:
“Wear this inside your garment, close to your chest.”
Ye Shuzhen saw the white iron-shaped object with a string attached, which she had seen twice before. Her elder sisters had each received one of these from their mother before their marriage, called a “self-defense mirror.”
Obediently, Ye Shuzhen hung the object around her neck and covered it with the front of her bridal dress.
“Alright, now wait here quietly. The groom will arrive soon.”
Speaking these words, Mrs. Lai reluctantly stepped outside. If she stayed with her daughter any longer, it would be even harder to leave; besides, relatives might come over, or she might miss the arrival of the son-in-law with his entourage and today’s delivered presents.
Ye Shuzhen watched as her mother walked out. She moved her lips but ultimately did not speak.
“Little sister, you look quite pretty.” Ye Shuying, the eldest sister, came in. Today, she hadn’t brought her son with her.
She had left her son with her mother-in-law since today only she would accompany her younger sister to her wedding.
Ye Shuzhi had said yesterday that she would not come today, not that she would skip the banquet, but she would dine at the ancestral hall and not enter her maternal home.
Her husband came in first to represent her and help a bit. With Ye Shuzhi’s heavy condition, her husband, fearing she might get hurt, stayed by her side at all times.
Ye Shuying didn’t come alone, either; her husband, who had become the foreman of a construction team, had handed work over to his brother today to come and help, offering great respect to his father-in-law’s family.
Ye Shuying’s son was already four or five years old, yet she had not had a second child. Her in-laws were quite anxious about this, but such matters couldn’t be rushed. Perhaps their fate simply hadn’t arrived yet.
