568: Chapter 404 568: Chapter 404 Yan Weiwei’s sister-in-law and younger brother’s wife were thrilled when they saw the two cans of milk powder, prioritizing the children’s needs over the adults and immediately preparing formula for the kids.
“Buying such expensive things must have cost quite a bit, right?
Weiwei, you can’t let Mr.
Ye spend so much for us!”
After the initial excitement, the thrifty mother scolded her daughter.
As a mother, she was teaching her daughter in front of everyone the importance of running a household, reminding her that a girl can’t be so wasteful with money after she’s married.
“Mom, I told senior brother not to buy these things, but he insisted on buying them, there was nothing I could do!”
Yan Weiwei, who was also accustomed to being frugal, knew that buying so many things had cost her senior brother a lot of money.
Cai Xiangxiang watched silently from the side, not resentful for not having been brought along by her mistress.
Seeing her mistress and Ye Tian so sweet together, she felt happy for them.
She knew that if she’d gone out, she might have needed protection; having her mistress bring gifts home was for the best.
Cai Xiangxiang saw the man in front of her so willingly spend money on gifts for her mistress and for her family.
She couldn’t help feeling envious.
In her mind, she imagined that one day, someone who liked her would take her home and buy her family nice gifts without any concern about the cost.
Thinking this, another image appeared: Jiang Tang, a wealthy and handsome man, bringing her home, buying things for her family, giving gifts, and securing a promising future for her loved ones.
Such thoughts were merely daydreams in her heart; she knew she didn’t have that standing yet.
Ye Tian told Yan Weiwei’s family that the little bit of money spent on the gifts was nothing and that he only wanted them to wear nice things and use good products.
After comforting them, he urged them to eat quickly, as he was going to teach them about the Dharma later.
With Ye Tian saying so, Yan Weiwei’s family happily accepted the gifts.
They were even more delighted with Ye Tian, feeling that Yan Weiwei had chosen the right person.
They had already considered him part of the family and thought there was no need for such formality.
The breakfast and lunch they brought back filled everyone up well.
They had never in their lives had the means to dine in a restaurant.
Today, that wish was fulfilled, and the restaurant’s food was indeed far more delicious than what they cooked at home.
Previously, the farm family thought their homemade dishes lacked seasoning, which was why they weren’t as tasty as restaurant food.
It was only after this meal that they realized that whether it was high-quality ingredients or everyday food, the key was the cooking skills and methods.
No wonder people preferred dining in restaurants; the food made with care really was much tastier than their own hastily cooked meals.
This meal inspired the women, especially Yan Weiwei’s elder sister-in-law and younger brother’s wife, who felt they would definitely need to learn to cook.
In the afternoon, Ye Tian still taught them about the Dharma and explained the cultivation they didn’t understand from the past two days.
Although Yan Weiwei’s relatives had a Secret Manual that even ordinary people could practice, only two of them knew enough characters to hardly understand the contents and methods described in the book.
Having read the book but still not understanding, they were fortunate to have a patient master like Ye Tian, who clarified their doubts and taught them the basics of cultivation.
For those who had never been exposed to cultivation and who lacked strong powers of memory, listening to an explanation once was not enough; they needed to hear it many times.
Cultivating from yesterday to today, they hadn’t felt any changes in their bodies.
They were quite envious that Yan Weiwei had achieved such profound cultivation levels in just a few years.
Ye Tian explained to them that now they had a Secret Manual that every common person could practice, but their poor constitutions meant they would find it more difficult to cultivate than those with even the slightest potential.
They needed to work even harder to compensate for their physical shortcomings.
While Ye Tian taught, besides Yan Weiwei who was listening on the side, nine women from the Top Ten Clans and one man came out of seclusion.
Noticing that Jiang Tang had not yet left his seclusion, they didn’t disturb them and took the initiative to prepare their own food.
Most important was preparing dinner; they didn’t consider going out to buy food, feeling better off staying in.
Although Jiang Tang usually prepared their meals, they could also make their own.
With that in mind, they prepared a simple dinner, making sure to include Yan Weiwei’s group as well.
Many of them were pampered young ladies who had never really learned to cook.
The food prepared by those who could cook was something others dared not eat, like the insect meals made by Dugu Yan’er and her siblings.
In the end, they simply made some easy dough-based foods, something filling without too much hassle.
The nine women, who felt satisfied after eating, did not go out.
Instead, they went back into seclusion.
They stayed in because they felt they weren’t compatible in terms of interests and temperament; going out together wouldn’t have been fun.
Moreover, without Jiang Tang out of seclusion, they lacked harmony.
From within the Flying Artifact, they also noticed cultivators stealthily observing them from afar.
Those outside could not see clearly what was happening inside and did not dare attack rashly.
But those inside could clearly see that the observers’ cultivation levels were not high, and thus they paid them no mind.
The Huang Family received information and personally examined the situation, having never seen such a Flying Artifact before.
They realized their limited experience and growing inability, felt helpless, and did not dare provoke the situation, only watching from afar without daring to act.
