Chapter 85: with translation of chapter title
Transmigrated into a Cat 6 (Mother is the female lead of a Niangdao novel)
San Ya happily ate the braised yellow fish, and as the head cook, Da Ya was delighted that her sister showed her such favor.
She gave Xu Shi a chopstick of fish, saying, "Mother, you should eat too! Eat more, otherwise Si Ya won't have milk to drink."
Xu Shi's chopsticks paused, and she said somewhat hesitantly, "Chun Hua, take Si Ya over and feed her some rice porridge."
Da Ya was puzzled; wealthy families usually hire a wet nurse, but her mother gave birth to a daughter and was unwilling to hire one, so she had to feed the children herself, and the three sisters were all raised by their

The one who had designs on the beauty was a little turtle named Xiao Bie San from somewhere unknown; he actually couldn't win, and instead got beaten with many punches.
Luo Jia Ming immediately became furious and dazed, "Do you know who I am? I am Luo Er Ye, the Luo Er Ye who is the richest man in Pomegranate Flower Town!"
Little Pot Three seemed frightened by his identity, covered his face and turned to run.
He San Niang was deeply grateful to the hero who fell from the sky, and specially invited him to come to her home for a meal.
The woman with a handsome appearance had surprisingly good skills; the household was kept neat and tidy. Although Xu Shi was also of the virtuous wife and good mother type, for some reason He San Niang was quite different.
Luo Jia Ming also didn't know where the difference lay; if he had to say, it was probably He San Niang's cheerful smile and bright eyes, never looking at him with a sticky, clingy gaze, making him feel like a bug stuck on a spiderweb.

He San Niang was very reserved; unlike Mu Dan, who would go for anyone who paid, she wasn't interested if there was no money.
Luo Jia Ming never realized that free things are the most costly; he is now obsessed with every frown and smile of the widow.
One day, He San Niang invited him to drink; she looked very troubled.

He San Niang originally did not want to speak, but under Luo Jia Ming's persistent questioning, she finally poured out her feelings to him like a breakdown.
"I also wish I looked more like a respectable woman, but with my appearance, I just don't look like a good woman…… Even though I don't wear bright clothes, I have observed mourning for my late husband for two years, yet no one believes I am chaste; everyone says……" He San Niang covered her face and wept, tears streaming from between her fingers. "They all say I flirt around, I'm not a good woman, sooner or later I'll be drowned in a pig basket."
Luo Jia Ming naturally couldn't help comforting her, "What fault does she have? She's merely born too beautiful."

The next day, He San Niang felt ashamed to death, tears flowing nonstop, saying she felt guilty toward her deceased husband; Luo Jia Ming naturally hurried to console her, blaming himself and frankly saying it was his fault.
He San Niang put on a full show about this matter, making Luo Jia Ming increasingly feel her self-respect and self-love, his pity growing, and he repeatedly promised to take her into his household.
But He San Niang shook her head, saying she didn't want to cause him trouble; her looks would surely displease his parents, her background was pitiable, yet in people's eyes she was fatefully tough, so let her drift through life alone.
Luo Jia Ming was unwilling to let go; the charming young daughter-in-law he had finally obtained was still fresh, and he insisted on taking her no matter what.
Upon learning that his mother was ill and bedridden, Luo Jia Ming returned home reluctantly.
Seeing that He San Niang was almost persuaded by him, his departure would surely send their relationship back to square one; he felt very unhappy about going home.
Luo Lao Tai Tai feigned illness to keep her son at home, and those few beautiful maidservants each showed their talents.
They remembered the old lady saying that whoever could successfully lure Luo Er Ye into bed would be allowed into the Luo family as a concubine without worries of food or drink.
These maidservants mostly came from the countryside, or from small households that could barely afford a full meal; to truly wealthy families, the Luo household appeared thrifty but was actually stingy, yet in the eyes of these maids it was already a very good life—no worries about food or clothing, and they could even have new garments; looking at the lady, she wore gold earrings and jade bracelets.
It was said that the lady was not favored; if they bore a son, their lives would surely be better than hers.
This time Luo Lao Tai Tai pretended illness to summon her son back, and soon the tranquil Luo household became lively.
Da Ya pushed Er Ya, "Second sister, look at San Ya."
"Eldest sister, what's wrong with San Ya?" Er Ya said, staring at Si Ya to prevent her from falling off the bed.
The little girl can now crawl, and she does it very quickly; it seems the goat milk she's been fed is still good, as Si Ya hasn't lost weight and is very healthy.
Da Ya murmured, "I've recently felt that San Ya isn't quite right."
It seems that ever since they knelt in the ancestral hall, after San Ya fell ill and had nightmares, she suddenly grew up overnight; especially the way she goes to talk with the Three-Colored Cat makes her look like an adult.
Er Ya's mind couldn't keep up, and she said foolishly, "But San Ya is still San Ya."
What's strange about children liking to play with cats and dogs?
Da Ya still wanted to say something when she saw a made-up maidservant hurrying past from the back courtyard, frequently touching her earrings and tugging at her clothes; it was obvious she was going to see their father.
Da Ya's expression immediately turned unpleasant, and she quickly pushed the thought of San Ya's oddness to the back of her mind.
These maidservants are far too blatant; I don't know how the steward found them, but they're all improper; if they were taken in, her mother's life would only get worse.
Meanwhile, San Ya held the little cat in her arms and muttered to it.
"Number One Maid, under the pretense of bringing my father soup, she accidentally spilled the soup on him; on the surface it looked like she was wiping him with a handkerchief, but in reality she was feeling him all over……"
However, this maid's act of bringing soup still failed; the mistake was that the soup was too hot, a man's lower half is especially delicate, after all Number One Maid was aiming for his lower half, so splashing it just right would be good for making him take off his pants to wipe himself.
At that time Luo Jia Ming's reaction was to directly sell Number One Maid, the reason being that she was clumsy and useless.
"Number Two Maid, learning from Number One's mistake, brought pastries; this time her target was my father's chest, likewise using the excuse of wiping him clean, she got especially close, deliberately exposing her chest……"
Yet Luo Jia Ming felt not the slightest stir.
Not a single one of these underdeveloped girls—whether Mu Dan or He San Niang—has more substance than she does.
Number Two Maid, however, wasn't sold off; instead she was driven to the kitchen to tend the fire, the reason being the same—she was clumsy and unfit for pouring tea or water.
Those earlier failed maids who could be sold were all sold off; the newly purchased maids have better looks and figures, and the longer the son stays at home, the more likely these maids are to succeed in getting into his bed.
Fang De Quan's face showed a self-satisfied smile.
The system began by saying, "I think she's not a kind mother; from start to finish she's a love‑brain, after all Luo Tianci is Luo Jia Ming's son."
Luo Lao Ye finally returned home, and Luo Jia Ming also stayed at home for a while as a filial son.
Her expression was stern, she absentmindedly thought, sometimes it's really good to thank her father for often being away; when he's home, her mother's heart is only on him, never paying attention to them.
Whenever she thinks about having to leave him in the future and enjoy herself under another man, Mu Dan currently feels she can't accept it, after she has come to regard Luo Jia Ming as her man.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was a good idea; Luo Jia Ming has a son, a single sprout on a thousand miles of fertile land—how precious that is—yet the result was that the whole family spoiled him rotten.
Isn't it you who, having inherited the cat's intelligence, has made yourself unable to bear children?
San Ya held the cat and hid outside to get some air.
The Three-Colored Cat rubbed its head against the girl's hand, trying to comfort her.
By the time Mu Dan realized something was wrong, Luo Jia Ming hadn't come to see her for two months.
Luo Lao Tai Tai, fearing the daughter-in-law would monopolize her son, simply detained her to attend to her side.
Xu Shi ate plain water buns in the ancestral hall for several days; each time she could only manage half a filling, her stomach growling from hunger, and she grew gaunt.
Moreover, although Xu Shi is beautiful, her beauty is plain and boring; Luo Jia Ming greatly dislikes her, preferring his own type—alluring and skilled at serving men.
Tao Hua ate while saying, "Mu Dan sister, this Luo Er Ye is indeed deep‑feeling and devoted."
Luo Jia Ming has a younger brother, that is two sprouts on a thousand miles of fertile land.
With a brother contesting the inheritance, Luo Jia Ming lacks that much confidence; Luo Lao Tou and Luo Lao Tai Tai will also take lessons from the elder, properly educate the younger, and Luo Tianci might not end up being raised with all five poisons.
Luo Lao Tai Tai, hearing these one after another, got so angry that her "illness" was cured.

Da Ya and Er Ya couldn't bear it, secretly sending food over.
After staying home for a few days and confirming his mother's illness had healed, Luo Jia Ming went out again to hang around.
She stuffed a snack into her mouth, glanced at Mu Dan, and thought to herself that Mu Dan‑sister truly lived up to being a courtesan; the snacks and tea in this room never stop, a privilege they never had.
Regarding Luo Jia Ming's habit of going out to find friends for drinks, the elderly couple of the Luo family never interfered; they understood the importance of connections, as long as he didn't go to Joyful Red House to see a courtesan.
Of course it wasn't a total failure, since it was rare for a woman to be literate, and Luo Jia Ming recommended her to work as a shopkeeper.
She kept feeling she should be pregnant, yet there was no sign at all—could it be that before meeting Jia Ming she took too many contraceptive pills and ruined her health?
With her father absent, she and her sisters could only receive the limited motherly love.
Luo Jia Ming is good‑looking and gentle, unlike some customers who love to rough up women, leaving them bruised yet calling it "romantic."
"If I were pregnant…" Mu Dan daydreamed about feasting and drinking in the Luo household.
His change made the whole family rejoice.
Xu Shi was content to see her husband every day; Si Ya was already one and a half years old, her health had improved, and with more affection from her husband she might soon conceive a son.
Tao Hua sighed, "Men are always unreliable."
Luo Lao Tai Tai habitually scolded her daughter‑in‑law: "Don't be jealous, let Jia Ming spend more time with them! If you don't bear a son, let someone else do it; if the Luo family ends, you'll be a historic sinner!"
But none of that suited his taste; he loved mature women full of charm and passion, and had no interest in little girls.
How old are Luo Old Man and Luo Lao Tai Tai? In this era that's grandparent age—are you asking them to have a second child? No, Luo Jia Ming already had a brother, so they should be having a third child.
"Maid Number Three was educated, walked the path of a talented lady, and on nights with stars and moon, recited poetry on my father's inevitable road; my father said he didn't understand, there was no common language, so he took a detour…"
"Maid Number Six…"
When Luo Jia Ming and He San Niang were getting hot, Mu Dan's side cooled down.
Jiang He puffed proudly: "Luo Jia Ming can't have children, but that doesn't mean Luo Lord and Luo Lao Tai Tai can't. Having a second child is trendy now; having a child in middle age isn't rare, but having one in old age makes people happy."
Seeing Luo Lao Tai Tai walking toward them, she quickly whispered, "Hurry, the nurse is coming!"
Mu Dan suddenly realized, "No wonder! I was overthinking."
He wasn't in a hurry; Mu Dan would eventually think that power is better than money.
After all, Luo Jia Ming's package covered an entire year for her; with such deep affection, he'd love to bring her into his home—how could he possibly change his mind?
"Could it be that his father is now controlling him at home?" Mu Dan speculated silently, a woman's intuition unsettling her.
In a brothel, losing one's body isn't serious; losing one's heart is truly despair.
