Chapter 516: Chapter 330 Family Entanglements
Ye Fengqi was also dressed up. Although she was two years older than Ye Shiqi, their heights and figures were similar, at a glance they looked like twins.
However, their face shapes were different, their noses and mouths looked somewhat alike, and all five sisters had similar eyes.
Compared with her four elder sisters, Ye Shiqi’s facial features were a bit more delicate, and her skin was also a bit whiter and more tender.
Her eyebrows were curved, her large double-lidded phoenix eyes, long eyelashes, small and high nose bridge, and on the right side of her oval face, a little dimple appeared. Whenever she smiled or spoke, the dimple on the right side would peek in and out.
Their five sisters’ big eyes looked as if they could speak, and while their noses and cheeks were similar, only she had a little dimple.
Ye Shiqi looked at herself in the mirror, very satisfied with the appearance of her body, which was no less beautiful than her previous life; she was a little beauty.
“Qing, today we’re wearing matching sister outfits again, how about it? We look like twin sisters, don’t we?” Ye Fengqi was truly lively and naive when dressing up, only she was bouncing around and not at all ladylike.
Ye Shiqi joked with a laugh, “Everyone will definitely think I’m the elder sister, hehe!” Her dimple made a sneak appearance as she smiled.
Ye Fengqi enviously looked at the little dimple on her younger sister’s face, thinking that all five sisters were quite attractive.
It wasn’t just her own opinion; it’s what the whole village thought. And when they went to the estate, they were even praised by the guests.
Even the daughters of wealthy families who visited their estate were no less attractive compared to them. Those young ladies from wealthy families tended to think of them as just daughters of a rich family.
With a bit of condescension, so what? As long as they lived happily every day, not worrying about food and clothes, they were already very content.
As the saying goes, comparing people will only make one miserable. Even if they had wealth… when they were young, didn’t they all live in the same size place, sleeping on a bed of the same size? They didn’t feel inferior to others in terms of food. The rich families even came to them to buy their produce.
When the sisters appeared in the dining room, the family was already seated, with their grandfather and father already eating because they had to go work.
On seeing that everyone had arrived, Mrs. Li called her son, who was playing in the yard, to come back, tenderly taking out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face.
Aunt Lai “…, the whole family is waiting for them.” She didn’t dare to say this out loud, as her status here didn’t allow it.
Even though her husband didn’t need her attention, with workers and maids present, she acted like a gentle wife, continuously asking, “Husband, would you like to eat this? Make sure you eat enough.”
She would occasionally glance at Hongji with her eyes while speaking.
Hongji, who was eating breakfast, was completely unaffected by her gaze.
The satisfied expression on Hongji’s father’s face, however, attracted Mrs. Lai’s dark glances. If glances could poison, Aunt Lai would have died many times over in her aunt-in-law’s eyes.
Ever since she joined this family and became more closely related, her aunt became her big sister, a title messy enough.
Ye Daidi, as a child, got the titles mixed up again. Seeing her nieces coming in, she wriggled with joy on her seat. In the home, everyone had a fixed place to sit during meals.
Aunt Lai…, how clueless she was. While others felt close to their daughters, her own daughter seemed to contradict her.
Every time she remembered her pregnancy and childbirth, not feeling close to her daughter, she thought that birthing a piece of barbecued pork might have been better than having this daughter.
Ye Shiqi, regarding this illegitimate aunt, had lost her previous motivation to correct her speech. Seeing that she was so close to her sisters and her mother, even calling her little brother “little brother”, it seemed as though she was her mother’s daughter, dependent on her. But this aunt after all was Aunt Lai’s daughter, and Aunt Lai had ill intentions.
Ye Shiqi hadn’t suffered much harm from this concubine, nor felt the same pain as the author’s mother and sisters, and therefore had no good feelings towards Aunt Lai, but hadn’t taken any action against her either.
If she were to say Aunt Lai had ill intentions, then their own grandmother had much bigger issues. If she wanted revenge, she would have taken it already.
Ye Shiqi didn’t see herself as particularly kind; she hadn’t yet encountered a real conflict of major interest. She was too young before to retaliated for the experiences of her family members. After all, they were still a family with grandparents.
Hongji and his father were the first to finish eating. The father and son then walked to the factory together.
Ye Shiqi drank a cup of sheep’s milk. Today’s breakfast was pork rice noodle rolls with a bowl of lean pork and century egg congee. She was stuffed, and although the portions were a bit smaller, she felt so full that she didn’t want to move.
