Chapter 402: Chapter 293: Ideas Aren’t Superstitious

Ye Shiqi would not underestimate the people of ancient times, they were incredibly clever in order to survive!

Since she changed her mother’s destiny and consequently her own and her family’s, the developments had diverged greatly from the content of the book she read.

In the book, she didn’t meet the County Magistrate’s daughter, nor did she meet Young Master Tang; she had no idea what Young Master Tang’s life would be like later on.

She only knew that after her mother’s death in the book, they got a stepmother and a stepfather, and the lives of the five sisters were quite miserable.

With no mother, they still had a brother because the stepmother gave birth to a son. They, the sisters, were treated like worthless animals.

Eldest sister still married this man, and Second Sister also married this Second Sister’s husband, only the Third Sister’s destiny was different. It seemed she married a traveling merchant and went to a far-off place.

The arrangement for Third Sister’s marriage was set up by the stepmother, who demanded a hefty sum of money.

The grandmother was so heartless; when faced with the bride she brought into the family, she met her match. The daughter-in-law bullied her severely, ensuring she couldn’t get away with doing no work at home.

Eldest sister, Second Sister, and Third Sister worked in the fields every day.

The stepmother and the cruel grandmother sold her and Fourth Sister off, and it was uncertain whether the father knew about it.

Third Sister was sold to become a child bride.

The fate of Eldest Sister and Second Sister wasn’t much better. The son born to the stepmother couldn’t find a wife, so Eldest Sister and Second Sister were sold to marry into their own family.

She and Fourth Sister ended up in the hands of human traffickers, and then they were separated. The fates of both were extremely tragic from that point on.

She couldn’t read on, already imagining the awful fate of those who were sold.

When she transmigrated into this book, she realized her future was going to be so bleak.

At the time of her birth, as she watched her mother dying, she desperately used the Space Water to save her.

And from then on, she began to alter the destiny of her family step by step.

But one thing puzzled her a lot, whether her father was actually born to Mrs. Lai or not, for they treated their husband worse than their daughters.

It was a pity that at the time she was so disgusted with the author’s outrageous writing that she lacked the interest to read on to the end of the story.

Then another girl said, "I was passing their house and heard people talking. The noise inside was so loud that what they said could be heard by the people outside. They were talking about how these families have no land to farm after the New Year and are coming to your estate to find work."

What this girl said was corroborated as true; the farmers had no land to cultivate. The small bit of dry land they had did not require so much labor from the family, and excess labor needed to find work.

Another girl chimed in, "They’re smart enough. Isn’t Ye Jiaxing already working on your estate? His brothers were naturally lazy, but after this they have no choice but to work!"

The room was filled with many young girls, nodding their heads and chattering away, vowing never to marry a lazy man when they grew up.

Then others teased them for thinking about such things at such a young age, while some remarked that their fate was not in their own hands, being subject to arranged marriages by their elders.

At that point, the laughter of the girls began to fade, as they held food in their hands and thought about the adult life that awaited them after growing up.

The younger ones had not thought so far ahead and were now busy eating seeds and candy, having only eaten cake earlier while talking.

The noisy chatter of earlier conversation was replaced by the loud sounds of eating.

Ye Luoqi had not spoken throughout the whole conversation; she felt very unfortunate to be involved in this matter.

Like those village girls, she didn’t know what her own fate would be like.

Yet, she didn’t want to have her reputation ruined and be forced to marry Ye Jiaxing against her will.

No matter how much this boy defended her, his behavior as a child was something she had always detested.

She worried about marrying such a man; even with the support of her family, she feared he might be abusive.

Ye Luoqi, as she grew older, gradually became more concerned about her future.

The maid brought in a lot more food, which was quickly divided up once again.

Finding no other choice, she had to bring in more food.

Mrs. Lai sat in the room enjoying delicious food while occasionally glancing at the courtyard and listening to the lively sounds of the house.

The sounds of the men drinking and laughing mingled together.

The village folks, along with sons and daughters-in-law, could also be heard chatting away.
