"The Farmer's Fat Wife": Fat Men Are All Potential Stocks (Part Two)...

system:……

After a long silence, he finally reacted and shouted the classic line: "Host! What are you doing!"

Ye Xiqing withdrew her attack and calmly looked at everyone: "Let's test our strength."

The best body Ye Xiqing had ever used was Rosie's.

The standard warrior physique modified by superpowers combines strength, speed, and explosiveness, making it far superior to Li Sanyue in terms of practicality.

But no matter what it is, once the tonnage increases, the power it can exhale should not be underestimated.

In ancient times, the lower classes of people struggled to make ends meet, often going hungry. They were typically emaciated, hunched over, and short.

Even though the male protagonist is exceptionally talented, he sacrificed some of his power for aesthetic reasons. Ye Xiqing slapped him twice, teaching everyone a lesson.

Ha, what kind of strength do you have to dare laugh at her to her face?

The Chen family: ...

No one expected Ye Xiqing to suddenly attack. The eight-year-old third child of the Chen family burst into tears. Chen's mother reacted and immediately pointed at Li Sanyue, angrily scolding, "What are you doing!"

Hua Xigu also realized what was happening and quickly turned the tables: "What should I be asking you? It's a wedding occasion, and you can't even control your son's foul mouth. What, you're already trying to show off your mother-in-law's power before you've even entered the house!"

This issue involves whether it's wrong to insult first or to hit first. Chen's mother wasn't entirely in the right either, arguing, "You can't just hit people like that! Who would dare marry a daughter like you!"

Hua Xigu retorted defiantly, "Take it or leave it! Our family is only doing this out of pity for you. Once you leave this door, I don't believe you'll find another one like me!"

Chen's mother was speechless. Chen Dalang was about to be led away, which was why he was in a hurry to find a woman to carry on the family line. However, most people would be willing to marry a woman into such a family and become a widow.

Now, Li Sanyue is not satisfactory in any way, but he is indeed the only one who can be married. Chen's mother hesitated, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

She hadn't made a decision yet when Chen Dalang stood up.

As the male lead, he had a strong sense of pride. Ye Xiqing's blow made his chest feel tight, so he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Mother, this wedding doesn't need to happen today. I can go by myself!"

Ye Xiqing crossed his arms and remained unmoved, but Chen's mother and Chen Erlang exclaimed in surprise, especially Chen Erlang.

His elder brother was going to war on his behalf, and he came to propose marriage so that he could leave a future for his elder brother in case of unforeseen circumstances. How could he let it fall through because of a slip of the tongue?

Whatever happened to him didn't matter; leaving his elder brother's bloodline was the most important thing. Ignoring the buzzing sound of his head from being slapped, he quickly covered his face and apologized.

The Chen brothers had a very good relationship. Chen Dalang couldn't bear to see his brother so humble. He gave the Hua family a cold look, pulled his second brother away, and turned to leave.

The perfectly good marriage was called off in a flash, before anything was even confirmed. Upon seeing this, Chen's mother immediately demanded the five taels of silver back from Hua Xigu.

Hua Xigu's family is relatively wealthy and doesn't rely on selling their daughter to make money.

But the money was barely in his hands before he had to sell it off, which was hard to accept. He cursed the Chen family mercilessly, chasing them all the way to the edge of the village while still hurling insults.

Her unreasonable and argumentative manner was even more hateful than Li Sanyue's. She successfully absorbed all the firepower, and Ye Xiqing obediently stayed in place, waiting for her to unleash her attack.

The system stared in disbelief, then gritted its teeth and said, "Host, you're finished, you're finished, you know that!"

Ye Xiqing remained unmoved: "What, the male lead became a great general after he went there?"

system:……

"Oh, you specifically mentioned earlier that the court was incompetent and tyrannical. You're not going to become the emperor, are you?"

system:……

Since the main storyline revolves around the female lead's weight loss and successful transformation, and her farming and management skills, the male lead has always been a background character and a major reward in the later stages. The system only left the mystery of the male lead's departure, so how did Ye Xiqing suddenly know everything?

Ye Xiqing didn't want to know either, but who knew the system's tactics were so classic.

In ancient times, if the male protagonist disappears from the story for a period of time, you have to be wary of him becoming emperor.

Although among the tens of millions of enslaved cattle and horses in ancient times, only a few emperors emerged. Rebellions that failed were often met with dismemberment, slow slicing, or being boiled in a cauldron, as common as eating and drinking.

But if he's the male lead, then he'll inevitably be able to be emperor in all sorts of ways, something Ye Xiqing is already used to.

The system looked at Ye Xiqing in disbelief: "Knowing that the male lead will become emperor, you still dare to provoke him?"

Ye Xiqing calmly replied, "He hasn't taken the position yet, let's wait until he does."

"Something that can be reborn into this world, yet it wants to preach its sacredness in front of a modern person like me."

"You should let the male lead fend for himself. In this world, destiny is mine."

"I've already told the world in advance that I won't share my luck with him."

"If you just let any Tom, Dick, or Harry become emperor, and he goes crazy and commits a massacre, or develops an inhumane system, who knows how many years of my life I'll lose."

"No, no, we won't."

system:……

You made up this theory yourself, and you actually believe it so much?

Why not believe it? Everyone has to be responsible for their own choices. In ancient times, ministers who invested in the wrong monarch suffered the fate of being discarded after their usefulness was over. How could the female protagonist not suffer retribution for investing in the wrong male protagonist?

The male protagonist didn't just go off to do something else; he went to become emperor, causing countless disasters. Who would dare to lend him their luck so easily?

For a relationship like the male and female leads', where they are implicitly bound together from the start even if they don't get married, a serious break must be made from the very beginning.

Otherwise, the world will think she's playing games with the male lead, prematurely using up her luck to have a disastrous experience with him.

He became emperor by absorbing her good fortune, but in the end he can only enjoy the blessings of an empress, and she has to be cremated. Wouldn't she be furious to death?

system:……

The male protagonist was conscripted into the army and started from scratch. What does that have to do with you?

But no one could convince Ye Xiqing with her bizarre sophistry; they could only watch as she solemnly separated from the male lead and set up her own business.

Hua Xigu chased after people and cursed them out of the village, finally managing to save face a little, but she was still angry when she got home.

He chased away the onlookers and pointed at Li Sanyue's nose, angrily shouting, "What are you doing! What kind of day is this? Can't you even keep up the act for a little while?!"

Ye Xiqing wanted to laugh; so she knew her daughter was faking it.

But soon the loving mother's sword was about to strike, cleaving through the blade.

Ye Xiqing immediately put on a very serious expression, pulled Hua Xigu aside, and said seriously, "Mother, Mother, please don't raise your voice. There's something else going on here. Come here, I'll tell you."

Spoiling your daughter doesn't mean you have a good temper. Once Hua Xigu's anger was provoked, it wasn't going to be easy for her to calm down.

But Ye Xiqing really seemed to have something important to say. The trust that the mother and daughter had built up over the years made Hua Xigu believe Ye Xiqing immediately and follow her into the house to hear what she had to say.

Ye Xiqing pulled Hua Xigu into the house, still shaken, and said, "Mother, it's not that I'm causing you trouble, but just now, I had a very strange dream."

Dream?

Hua Xigu looked at Ye Xiqing, never expecting that the source was a dream. Before she could even question it, Ye Xiqing continued speaking with a solemn expression.

"Mom, do you remember when we went to pay respects to Grandma Taishan together?"

“We came back after we finished praying, but in the dream, I don’t remember it. I still prayed with you.”

"I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't remember what it was, and I didn't know that I was dreaming."

“You didn’t say anything in the dream, and I was a little flustered. I didn’t dare to look at you, so I bowed three times. Then you gave me three incense sticks and told me to light them.”

"I don't know why, but I always feel that this incense is scary. If it can't be lit, something bad will happen."

"But no matter how hard I tried, the incense just wouldn't light. I was so anxious that I touched my thigh and found that my palm was full of water."

"Looking up, the entire temple seemed to be soaked in water, dripping wetly, and the three incense sticks looked like they had been soaked and were broken into pieces."

“I was terrified. I quickly dropped the incense and tried to grab you, but you were gone. There was a tree standing next to you.”

"The surroundings were surrounded by water at some point, and there was floodwater everywhere, with no one in sight."

"I shouted to everyone, but no one answered. The water was rising higher and higher, and the place where I was was about to be flooded."

"I could only hold onto the tree and watch the water rise higher and higher. Suddenly, a black dragon emerged from the floodwaters and pounced on me."

"That dragon was so fierce and vicious. Its scales were as hard as iron, but there was a particularly large wound on its chest and abdomen that was bleeding."

"I didn't have time to think about anything else. I grabbed a branch and stabbed it into its chest and abdomen. The branch turned into a sharp sword as soon as it left my hand. The black dragon was in pain and flung me aside with its tail. I fell into the water and then I woke up."

"Mom, this dream is really strange, and it just so happens to come out at this particular moment."

"I feel this is an instruction from the Goddess of Mount Tai; this marriage might not be a good one!"

Hua Xigu: ...

As an ancient person, she had never heard of this way of narrating dreams, which was like a ghost story, and she couldn't help but shudder: "Really?"

Ye Xiqing said with an upright and righteous expression, "Of course it's true, Mother. When have I ever lied to you!"

Although it's Ye Xiqing or Li Sanyue, lying is as easy for them as eating and drinking.

But the Taishan Grandmother is a unique belief in their area, and although they don't know its origin, they continue to worship her.

Everyone believed it very much; ordinary people wouldn't joke about the Goddess of Mount Tai, and neither would Li Sanyue.

Hua Xigu was immediately at a loss: "What does Your Highness mean?"

Ye Xiqing pretended to be deep for a while, pondered for a long time, and then pulled Hua Xigu over and whispered, "Mother, after I had this dream, I felt really bad. When I saw the Chen family enter the door, I was so irritable that I couldn't help but kick them out."

"But thinking about it carefully, it's just a marriage. No matter how unsuitable it is, the Empress wouldn't send down such an omen, would she?"

"The whole dream was filled with water; the Taishan Niangniang Temple was flooded, and three incense sticks were burned out."

"A day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth. Does this mean that we will face a flood in three years?"

Hua Xigu: ...

The Hua family's home, Yang County, is located in a place that is both south and north. In winter, people won't freeze to death, but because there is no heating, they will still shiver from the cold.

Overall, the climate is still more northerly, and even when disasters occur, droughts are more common than floods.

A flood that submerged the Taishan Grandmother Temple is something I haven't heard of in nearly a hundred years; it's hard to believe at first glance.

But the dream did sound terrifying, and Hua Xigu felt a chill run down her spine: "No way, what if it's really like what you said...?"

Ye Xiqing also looked troubled: "If it really is the Empress's warning, we ordinary people can't handle such a big matter. But if I don't speak up, I'm afraid I'll waste the Empress's good intentions."

"How about this, let's not talk about anything else, just tell people about the first half of this dream. If people ask why the marriage didn't work out, we can find an opportunity to tell them about the broken incense. But we must not tell them about me killing the black dragon, it has a bad meaning."

Hua Xigu was a true person from ancient times, so of course she understood such things, but she still hesitated: "What if it's not like that at all? If we spread this so seriously, wouldn't we cause a big problem!"

No need to worry, the flood three years later will provide the time-traveling heroine with an opportunity to showcase herself during a year of disaster.

One reason is that the country is declining, which doesn't happen without cause.

The southern land of fish and rice, the nation's granary, was swallowed by floods, leaving the people destitute. This was the root of the country's turmoil and the opportunity for the protagonist to raise an army.

Otherwise, how could the male protagonist have succeeded in raising an army?

Whether considering the actual scale of the natural disaster or the plot, a major flood is inevitable; if not here, it will happen nearby—it's highly likely.

Since it's bound to happen, how she uses it is up to her.

Even with a sleek, transparent cut, it's still not a safe bet.

In ancient times, the luck to become an empress must have been immense.

Sitting still and eating won't finish everything. If we don't start a new venture, our luck will overflow. The world doesn't know how to give it to us, so how can we secretly send it to the male lead and indirectly let her continue being the empress?

I'd give it to the male lead because I'm afraid he'll become a terrible emperor and cause all sorts of trouble; it's fine if it's for myself.

Even if it's a sin, you've brought it upon yourself, so you'll be happy to suffer the consequences.

She also wanted to experience what it felt like to be ordained by Heaven.
