Maria_Andersson_80781dCommenteddidnt she gives them to the granny?
Back at the dilapidated temple, Mo Yan had Mo Qingze slaughter the old hens to make a pot of delicious chicken soup. With the soup, the six of them enjoyed one last hearty lunch at the temple.- Maria_Andersson_80785dCommented
siyu? should it not be Mianmiam?
Shen Jianhua's brow was deeply furrowed. He, too, found the matter strange. Many people wanted to ingratiate themselves with He Nan, who paid them no mind, yet he was so nice to their daughter. Siyu was still young, and he didn't dare to think the worst. - Maria_Andersson_80788dCommented

they are already there
"There's no time like the present, I'll call my mom right now to come over. After all... everyone is here," Yun Jianchen's gaze swept across Yun Caoyan and Jiang Yuan. - Maria_Andersson_807813dCommented
would be more logical with a French last name than a stereotypical English one when the point is that he is French
The two of them invited the French Mr. Smith into the office. - Maria_Andersson_807816dCommented
what DOES that expression mean? i have still not figured it out
But she had suspected him of being manipulative, only wanting to pull a heavy cart with a small horse. - Maria_Andersson_807816dCommented
what is he referring to with "that island nation"?
Li Zhiyan knew that many people liked mature women, or else films from that island nation would not have a category dedicated to them. - Maria_Andersson_807818dPosted
interesting plot but atrocious English. Of course the usual gender confusion (not only he-she, his-her but boy-girl) and a number of different name versions for the same characters, literal translations that no sense to the non-Chinese speaker. often one has to guess the meaning from context. it gets rather humorous though with e.g. a grandmother alternately referred to as the milkman and the sun.

eh...could the actual torture part possibly have anything to do with that?
For the first time in his life, he felt such heartache for a woman, yet she treated him like a flood or a savage beast, looking at him with disgust. - Maria_Andersson_807819dCommented
okaaay, so the male lead is a torturer, a criminal... don't know about this...
The injured spot at her fingertips had been treated with medicine, leaving a sharp sting mingled with a shallow coolness and faint fragrance. - Maria_Andersson_807822dCommented
jeans är a high end wedding? could it have been popular at the time?
Su Bing wore a deep gray denim jacket and jeans today, with a white shirt as a base inside. His hair was intentionally styled. - Maria_Andersson_807822dCommented
on the contrary. now it may be a bit creepy with cradle robbing vibes, , i mean most thirty year olds would have nothing much to talk about with a teenager. a thirty year old with a well mantained 42 year old is much more normal, both adults nor young nor old.
Now, it was hard to see, but when she turned thirty, he would be in his forties. - Maria_Andersson_807822dCommented
that's it for me. i did find the plot interesting but detailed mutilation of children is not my thing. bye.
Lian Yaya's upper body was held by Lady He, while Lady Zhou, Lady Gu, Lian Xiuxiu, Lian Huahua, and Lian Duoduo firmly pressed down on her legs. Grandma Li Si placed one of Lian Yaya's feet on her knee, breaking Yaya's toes one by one before sprinkling a generous amount of alum between them. - Maria_Andersson_807824dCommented
oh, poor creatures. actually, doing housework with mutilated feet should be a torture, however their character
"Fourth Son's wife, Huahua will soon be of marriageable age and needs to embroider her dowry. Both she and Duoduo have bound feet; how can they go out into the fields? When it's their turn for chores, let's have the children in the house help out with the digging of wild vegetables," she said. - Maria_Andersson_807826dCommented
elderly couple? aren't they like a little over forty?
The elderly couple handed over the betrothal money along with the gold to Gu Zi, aiming to boost her confidence. - Maria_Andersson_80781mthCommented
Thats really interesting, i just confirmed the statement with the Wikipedia ( ok, not the Encyclopedia britannica but still). in many cultures with limited food access an the majority doing manual labor it has been considered attractive to be plump. it seems that not so in China
Although she hadn't noticed herself, Su Wenyue laughed: "Being a bit thinner is good! In our Daming Dynasty, being slender is considered beautiful. Everyone prefers a delicate waist and slim beauty. My looks are fairly decent; it's just that I've been a bit overweight. If I could slim down, I'd surely look even more beautiful." - Maria_Andersson_80781mthCommented
that is slaves, without any choice
Mrs. An might have felt a bit disgusted at the existence of concubine daughters. But isn't that the way of men? Anyone with a bit of wealth would take multiple wives and concubines. Master Su was relatively decent. Though he had two Concubines, he didn't actively take them. They were the Servant girls who served him while Mrs. An was pregnant. He finally acknowledged them as concubines after they got pregnant and had children. Mrs. An held tightly to their body contracts, ensuring they couldn't cause trouble, easily managed. - Maria_Andersson_80781mthCommented
is Han Yu autistic or something not to notice or is his standard for good treatment that low
In all honesty, he hadn't been exceptionally good to Su Wenyue these past few days, but he hadn't been bad either. Especially his parents, who, for various reasons, had been very accommodating to their young daughter-in-law. Besides the first day of their marriage when her sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law caused her some minor trouble, no one had wronged her since, and she had even claimed her due afterwards. To the unaware, it might appear as if Su Wenyue had suffered great injustices at his home, crying as she was now. - Maria_Andersson_80781mthCommented
what is An family?
Upon hearing this, An Family got even angrier. What unreliable nonsense was this—believing the words of some old monk? - Maria_Andersson_80781mthReplied to Maria_Andersson_8078
well, i may be wrong, that explanation works here but not in the next paragraph
Han Yu understood his mother well. Though she seemed kind to his daughter-in-law now, it was only for certain reasons. They hadn't been together long enough for true family bonds to form, and if she felt her son sided too much with his wife, forgetting his own family, she would certainly stop being so agreeable.
