Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All

Chapter 528: Chapter 324: Foxes and Wolves (2)

By the time Jiang Yu responded, Liu Ze had been calling for a while.

Jiang Yu pouted and glanced at Wei Ziang. This kid was worse than Liu Ze, pretending not to understand him.

If Liu Ze was a gentle and kind smiling fox, then Wei Ziang was a wolf disguised as a sheep, quiet and reserved.

Outsiders said he was honest and calm, rarely smiling.

Only those familiar with him would know that this guy was just pretending to be stern.

In front of Xiaomi, he smiled so brightly.

Just as he was complaining, he saw his two younger sisters walking out hand in hand.

One wore a pink long dress, which complemented the fair-skinned Xiaoxue, making her eyes sparkle with charm, as she stood tall and graceful;

The other wore a light green dress, like a breath of spring, refreshing and extraordinary. Usually seen in black and gray, today she looked even more petite and adorable.

Even Jiang Yu was momentarily stunned, sighing inwardly, his sisters—once little chubby babies—had grown up.

Glancing back at his two brothers, his face instantly darkened, and he slapped each of them.

”Hey! Snap out of it!”

Liu Ze came back to his senses, giving Jiang Yu an embarrassed smile.

Wei Ziang, on the other hand, didn’t even look at Jiang Yu after getting slapped; he simply walked over to Xiaomi.

”Xiaomi, Auntie is waiting for you in the carriage in front.”

Liu Ze followed closely, escorting the two girls to the carriage before turning back.

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes dramatically.

But to be fair, watching them every day, the two sisters hardly ever dressed up, but today they were meticulously prepared and looked truly beautiful.

Even for someone like him, their brother, he almost got stunned.

Jiang Hu locked up the house and boarded the first carriage with Uncle Liu, and as the driver snapped the whip, they set off.

Jiang Wei sat in the corner of the carriage, counting his pocket money, not noticing the commotion among his brothers.

Jiang Yu, however, remained calm, arms crossed, watching the two in front of him.

They were close in age, and equally good at putting up an act.

Wei Ziang acted like he knew nothing, settling in the carriage with a book, yet not turning a page or moving his eyes.

Liu Ze was slightly better, seeing Jiang Yu staring at them, he turned and smiled, ”What’s up, big brother?”

Jiang Yu couldn’t hold back, rolling his eyes exaggeratedly: ”Who’s your big brother.”

Unaffected, Liu Ze smiled slightly, ”You’re a few days older than me, so calling you big brother is only natural.”

Jiang Yu was exasperated but couldn’t do anything about it.

But then Wei Ziang, who was pretending to read, suddenly looked up and glanced at Wei Ziang.

”Ze, Xiaomi mentioned earlier that girls shouldn’t marry too young; it’s not good for their health.”

This sudden statement left the three others in the carriage momentarily stunned, Liu Ze frowned slightly, asking, ”Really?”

Wei Ziang: ”Why would I lie to you? Xiaomi said it’s best to get married at sixteen or seventeen and have children after eighteen. The younger you are, the more dangerous childbirth is, and it’s easier to have lasting health issues.”

”I heard my sister say that too,” Jiang Wei chimed in after counting the copper coins.

”Back in Fu’an Village, wasn’t there a young wife who died in childbirth? She was about fifteen or sixteen. I heard my sister say it was because she was too young, making it risky.”

If Wei Ziang could still be doubted, Jiang Wei certainly couldn’t.

Sure enough, the other two immediately became serious, especially Jiang Yu, who started thinking seriously.

”Come to think of it; I’ve heard a few times about girls having difficult births, mostly young ones.”

Jiang Yu matured early, living with a large extended family before the age of five, often hearing them talk about such things.

Among those talks, stories of wives having difficult childbirths were not uncommon.

Although not frequent, there would be one or two cases every year within a ten-mile radius.

”Xiaomi wouldn’t lie, especially about something like this.” Speaking, Jiang Yu gave Liu Ze a knowing glance.

”Even though I don’t know how Xiaomi knows these things, I think we should take the opportunity to tell Mom and Dad. Anyway, I see many city daughters marrying at sixteen, seventeen, or eighteenth too.”

Though their family couldn’t compare to wealthy families, keeping their daughters for a couple more years wouldn’t be an issue either.

Besides, their family didn’t lack anything for their sisters.

Liu Ze smiled wryly, ”Okay, big brother, I got it.”

Smart move, Jiang Yu was quite satisfied.

He looked at Wei Ziang, still pretending and stuck on the first page, resisting the urge to roll his eyes again.

As expected, he was the silent and patient wolf.

Don’t think they didn’t catch it; this was clearly if worried about Xiaoxue’s marriage, Xiaomi would be next.

It must be Xiaomi saying inadvertently not to consider marriage until a certain age, so this guy was using the method of keeping Xiaoxue first, ensuring Xiaomi wouldn’t be eyed too.

Though others didn’t know, Jiang Yu himself had encountered it before. At the academy, there were classmates of similar age who, knowing he had two lovely sisters, frequently inquired.

Fortunately, although not powerful, Liu Ze was. After a few open and hidden threats, those people gave up.

However...

Jiang Yu touched his chin, thinking about today’s beautifully dressed sisters, especially Xiaoxue, who was once skinny and frail and now increasingly graceful and lovely.

Almost eleven, she was at the age of budding youth; if they attended the festival today, he wondered how many love rivals Liu Ze would have.

Thinking about it, having Liu Ze around seemed pretty good. At least, for the Jiang family lacking influence and power, Liu Ze’s presence was the best shield for their sisters.

Thinking more, Jiang Yu felt increasingly satisfied with Liu Ze.
