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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

what is An family?
Upon hearing this, An Family got even angrier. What unreliable nonsense was this—believing the words of some old monk?

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.

more probable that the misinterpretation is his instead of her,

the expression is not the problem i think, but to discuss others sexual preferences with your boss wife, and the children present at that, seems a bit of
Gu Zi blushed slightly at the explicitness of the conversation but didn't blame Jin Long. In this era, words like "breast milk" or "old lady" weren't considered crude in the village, and Jin Long wasn't saying it with any malicious intent.

whats with this obsession with physical beauty and that wealthy men would only cover that. the woman seems unpleasant enough and was thereto married, but its her homely appearance that ought supposedly to have stopped her involvement with a wealthy man?? is this a cultural trait? a literary convention? the authors personal view!

seems like poor judgment .car sickness medicines in general affect the ability to drive safely. over here they are all marked with red triangles (do not drive when using)
Gu Zi felt sorry for the trouble caused, considering he had carsickness and yet came to pick them up. Jin Long reassured her, mentioning that he took motion sickness medicine and was accustomed to driving, so it wouldn't be an issue.

why use western sounding names when using plot elements so very non-western (kneeling, arranged marriages.. )?

well, yes, to me too. but my language sports first names like stone, bear or she-wolf without anyone thinking much about. have you thought about English with all the tree names? (Heather, Holly, Ash, Hazel et al). or traditional Spanish female names like Pilar (pillar), Rosario (rosary), Mar (sea). Most (all) names origine in some literal meaning even if it may not always be obvious at first glance anymore and its cultural conventions which we find normal
For the names, he had them; Ice, Pure, Jade, Clean.
