Chapter 192 -191 Ye Family’s sisters Daily Life
Granny Li had once taken care of Mrs. Li and her daughters, a kindness that not only Hongji remembered, but Mrs. Li and even her daughters remembered Granny Li’s benevolence.
Ye Luoqi felt this deeply; from her birth, she had seen how, during their most difficult times, Granny Li had always extended a helping hand to her mother and her sisters.
Granny Li’s grandchildren were about the same age as the Ye family’s sisters, with the oldest boy already ten years old.
Granny Li had two sons and three daughters; both of her sons were married, adding up to six grandchildren in the household.
In rural areas, older children often took care of the younger ones, which helped reduce the adults’ burdens.
While looking after the youngest children and grandchildren, Granny Li also helped with some farm work, allowing her family members to work outside and supplement the household income.
Granny Li’s children got along harmoniously; the two sons had not divided the household and lived together in one courtyard, one son per room, their spouses in their own rooms, a storeroom, and two rooms for the children of both sons.
This was only a temporary arrangement; as the children grew older, they would need to separate by gender, and they were currently working hard to earn money to expand the house by building two more rooms, so the grandsons could have homes of their own when they grew up.
That’s why they were so dedicated to making money; seeing others striving, how could their family not do the same?
Being not left behind, industrious families always worked with future generations in mind.
With the Ye family becoming wealthy, other diligent farming families constantly worked tirelessly to earn money.
The Ye family hired teachers to educate their children, focusing particularly on the girls.
Like other families in rural areas, Granny Li’s family held the same view; the boys barely knew a few characters, let alone what might come later…
Granny Li’s grandchildren, older ones taking care of the younger, listened to the Ye family’s reading from the doorstep of their own courtyard, mimicking the reading and learning to write as well.
They didn’t dare to enter the Ye family’s property to study, partly because they feared Mrs. Lai would chase them away; although poor, many of these farmer families were stubborn and proud.
Granny Li’s grandchildren got along quite well with the Ye family’s sisters and would ask one of them to teach them once their classes were over.
The Ye family’s sisters not only shared schoolwork with neighboring children, but they also exchanged needlework tips, naturally among the girls.
As rural folk, most people made their own clothes rather than buying ready-made ones, preferring to spend money on fabric and save on labor costs for someone else.
Having learned to make clothes and handkerchiefs, those with good skills could even sell their work, using their craftsmanship as a means for the girls to save their own money.
While the girls exchanged needlework tips, the boys listened in; over time, they too began to understand a bit about how to use needles and thread.
Mrs. Lai had many reservations about the close relationship between her own granddaughters and Granny Li’s grandchildren next door.
In the past, when there were no hired workers, she could order her granddaughters to work and prevent them from interacting with Granny Li’s family.
But now that they had workers, she could no longer order her granddaughters to work and could only grumble and complain every day about how they didn’t get along.
“Why are you so friendly with them? They are so poor; they just want you to teach them more because they’re too dumb to realize others are taking advantage of you?”

As Granny was scolding, the Ye Family’s sisters could only look at her with innocent eyes, letting her scold until she had enough, until she was tired, and then they would continue with their tasks.
This was not considered disrespecting an elder; respecting an elder and listening to them also depended on the individual.
Mrs. Lai, with her unreasonable and malicious nature, was an elder whose words one could choose not to listen to; people like her not only were unable to socialize but also offended others as soon as they spoke.
Just like the villagers described Mrs. Lai, it was unknown what blessings she had accrued in her past lives to have birthed a good son, married a good daughter-in-law, and had a heap of grandchildren in this life.
Such a person could enjoy luxuries like a landlady while they toiled hard at work, truly an injustice of the universe.
Mrs. Lai knew many envied her, and how could money ever be too much?
Others said she didn’t recognize her blessings despite being in the midst of them, but they would only talk behind her back, who would dare say it to her face?
Ye Shiqi felt that the girls in the villages had simple minds, and with their family’s current capability, they could help many people.
Just like their sisters, just like her, although she was young, she understood many things.
The sisters knew how to farm; this skill was honed over these years as the three elder sisters worked with their mother and had developed their abilities.
Ye Shiqi previously didn’t understand farming, but she had her advantages. Though she lacked knowledge of agricultural techniques, she could use her Space Spiritual Spring to accelerate the growth of crops, increase their yield, and even reduce pest infestations.
Ye Shiqi possessed some modern knowledge, such as foreign languages, which she couldn’t teach them but could share through storytelling, having witnessed customs and cultures of various countries in her previous life.
Children loved hearing stories about the outside world, stories they had never heard before; when told by elders, they only heard tales from ancient times.
These foreign fairy tales, which they had never heard of before, captivated them, and they loved listening to such tales.
Of course, Ye Shiqi had heard the stories of Snow White and the Prince.
She shared these fairy tales with them and also played leaf music and sang folk songs for them.
The children knew some folk songs but lacked musical knowledge. The sound of Ye Shiqi playing the leaves was beautiful, making them happy to sing the folk songs.
Ye Shiqi also knew some calligraphy and could paint portraits for the children.
All the village children liked this clever and smart young girl.
Ye Shiqi painted portraits, which some village elders learned of. Some of the older ones wanted to preserve their own portraits, so they requested Ye Shiqi to paint for them.
Ye Shiqi initially did not want to take on this job; taking their money felt somewhat inappropriate, not taking it made her tired but painting also cost money for purchasing paper.
Doing a good deed each day also depended on whether one could do it well; there were not 1000, but there were over 100 elderly in the village, especially since her own grandparents also wanted her to paint for them.
Unaware that she could paint, her own relatives, including her maternal grandparents, also desired her to paint portraits for them to cherish in their homes, to have something to remember them by when they aged.
Ye Mei Qi’s daughter knew how to paint, a fact Hongji and his wife had known for a long time, and they knew much more since their daughter always designed paintings for them.
The couple also had portraits painted by their daughter, both in the same picture, looking so similar, as if cast from the same mold as their real selves.
They had never bothered getting portraits painted by someone else for a fee outside, none were as lifelike as those done by their daughter.
