How did they get there? The scissors
Taylor Swift's You Belong With Me playing in the background
She's just cautious, brother
Oh my my my 520!!!!
You just met her, bud!!!!
I choked on my spit.
I gained a lot when I left for college because hostel food wasn't that great and I would eat out. I gained like 6 kg in less than a month. Bit for health reasons I've started working on losing weight. I'm done with my mother telling me day in and day out to lose weight. Like, darling, you see me working on it so stop talking about it now. She does begin with "Don't mind but..." If you know I'm going to mind, don't say it, please.
well then, that's a personal opinion. I would advise you to skip these scenes or books altogether. But then again too many books have these plot lines. And it isn't like modern times don't habe these issues. There's still fat shaming in the world; oftentimes from members of families of the person. Not to mention rapes. It's not like you could close your eyes against it. It's there in the world and that's a fact. Literature is but a reflection of the world in some form. One cannot always turn a blind eye towards things one doesn't like. I do respect your views and way of things. I'm just saying that these things would exist regardless.
I'm not promoting fat shaming because tbh I'm chubby myself. But I do get where the author is coming from. This is most likely a translation and when it comes to certain ancient Asian cultures, being relatively thin - not skin and bones - was considered fashionable. The same goes for dark skin. If one had fairer skin, it meant they didn't have to work under the sun aka being rich. also we cannot forget that we're talking about an 80s setting story. You cannot place modern ideologies into ancient setting. It might offend quite a few but it would be culturally inappropriate. And also this light skin and slim figure still plays a major role in most Asian cultures; even today.

A beautiful story BTW. The translation and the original. The initial chapters might seem like a drag but the story picks up around chapter 30 something. Being the impatient lady, only when it comes to books, that I am I went ahead to look for raws. 空间之超级农富妻 Super Rich Farmer Wife of Space (literal translation of title) Enjoy reading.
