In the afternoon, there was a knock on the gate. It was Mrs. Zhao and Lian Rongrong who came to see Jiang Yue.

After not seeing Jiang Yue go shopping for groceries for two days in a row, even Rongrong was a little uncomfortable. "Jiang Yue, what are you doing?"

When Mrs. Zhao came to deliver the food in the morning, Jiang Yue was catching up on her sleep and didn't see her.

At this time, Jiang Yue was sitting in the corridor reading a book. Seeing the two of them, Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Rongrong, why are you here?"

"Why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell?" Mrs. Zhao was shocked when she saw Jiang Yue. Although Jiang Yue's complexion was not very good before, it had brightened visibly in the past few days, making people feel happy just by looking at her.

She hadn't seen Jiang Yue for just one day, but why did she feel like Jiang Yue had wilted? Just like a flower that was about to wither after it had just bloomed.

"Did you have a quarrel with your Captain Gu? Or--" Lian Rongrong looked at the sheets drying in the yard, and her eyes suddenly became ambiguous.

Washing so many sheets, the battle must have been intense last night!

Jiang Yue was in a bad mood and didn't notice that Lian Rongrong's eyes were not right. She rubbed her stomach and said listlessly: "My period has come, and my stomach hurts!"

Jiang Yue finally understood why the menstrual period is called menstruation. Once you put on the menstrual belt, you really can't do anything. You have to change toilet paper every now and then, and you are afraid of leaking on your pants if you move. Women can only rest at home during their menstrual period.

"Do you have any brown sugar at home? Make some brown sugar water and drink it, it will feel better." Mrs. Zhao asked with concern.

Jiang Yue knew that drinking brown sugar with water to relieve stomachache was just a psychological comfort, but she still nodded and agreed, "Okay, sister-in-law."

"Jiang Yue, you didn't have a fight with your Captain Gu, did you?" Mrs. Zhao felt that Jiang Yue's complexion shouldn't be so bad just because she was having her period. She couldn't help but remember that when Gu Ye came to her house in the morning and asked her to help buy groceries, his expression was different from usual.

"Fight? Oh, no! No fight!" Jiang Yue smiled, but the smile in her eyes was very faint.

Whenever she thought of Gu Ye now, she would recall the scene last night when he looked disgusted and scolded her for being shameless, and her heart still ached.

This was the first time in her life that she was scolded for being shameless, and it was a man she liked who scolded her. Her self-esteem and pride were really hurt.

Mrs. Zhao felt relieved when she saw that Jiang Yue didn't have any problems except looking a little unwell.

"Sister-in-law, Rongrong, you guys sit down by yourselves. It's inconvenient for me to move, so I won't be polite to you." Jiang Yue asked Sister-in-law Zhao and Lian Rongrong to move the stools themselves.

Lian Rongrong was flipping through a book that Jiang Yue had put aside. She was surprised when she heard this. "Jiang Yue, are you having your period so uncomfortable? Is it too painful or something? I know a Chinese medicine doctor who is good at regulating menstruation. Do you want me to introduce you to him?"

Jiang Yue waved her hands. "It's okay to have a stomachache, but I'm not used to using this menstrual belt. It's so inconvenient! I don't even dare to lie down. As soon as I lay down last night, everything went to bed."

Hearing this, Lian Rongrong was even more surprised, "You're not used to using a menstrual belt? Didn't you use a menstrual belt before?"

Jiang Yue: "...I used it, but it was uncomfortable!"

She couldn't say that she used sanitary napkins before, which were convenient and hygienic. She just tore off the wrapping paper and put them on. After use, she just tore off and threw them away. It was nothing like this menstrual belt.

Oh, as I was talking, I started to miss home again.

"Put some wood ash underneath so you don't have to change it all the time." Mrs. Zhao interrupted.

"Can we put wood ash in there? That's so unhygienic!" Jiang Yue was surprised.

"It's okay. Put it at the bottom and cover it with clean paper. Avoid direct contact." Mrs. Zhao explained to Jiang Yue patiently, treating her like her own daughter. Her daughter Xiaohong only had her period last year, and she was as helpless as Jiang Yue is now.

"Jiang Yue, you should have that small mattress at home. When you come, you can put it under your buttocks when you sleep, and it won't leak through the bed." Lian Rongrong also suggested.

Jiang Yue herself didn't even know this thing existed.

"I'll look for it in a moment."

"Jiang Yue, what book are you reading?" Lian Rongrong was still holding Jiang Yue's book in her hand. She pointed at the words on the cover and read: "Zhi Tong, what do the first and last two words mean?"

Jiang Yue said casually: "Zizhi Tongjian, this is a history book. The word is pronounced Jian, which means mirror here."

"Jiang Yue, you know so many words!" Lian Rongrong looked envious, but her tone was a little sour.

Last night, her husband Wang Weixu came home and told her that he had met Jiang Yue. He also praised Jiang Yue for being well-educated and bought a lot of books for her to read. Although Lian Rongrong's relationship with Jiang Yue had improved a little in the past few days, she was still very upset when she heard her husband praising Jiang Yue all the time, so she wanted to come over to see if Jiang Yue was really reading.

Jiang Yue looked up and saw Lian Rongrong holding a book, so she asked, "Do you want to read it?"

Lian Rongrong put the book down, shook her head and said, "How can I understand it? I don't recognize many of the words on it."

"Wait for me!" Jiang Yue stood up and walked towards the house. As soon as she stood up, she felt a rush of water coming down.

When Mrs. Zhao and Lian Rongrong saw Jiang Yue walking in an awkward posture, they couldn't help but twitch their lips.

Jiang Yue took out a few books and handed them to Lian Rongrong. "These books don't have any difficult words. Take a look and see if you are interested."

"Rongrong, you watch first. Sister-in-law, please sit for a while. I'll go change that." Jiang Yue said and went in hurriedly again.

When Jiang Yue came out again, Lian Rongrong had already picked out a storybook that interested her and was about to go back with Sister Zhao.

"Jiang Yue, if you have anything to say, just come over and tell me!" Sister Zhao said to Jiang Yue before leaving.

Jiang Yue agreed, but she always felt that the way Sister Zhao looked at her was a little strange.

Lian Rongrong had just arrived home with the book in her hands when Wang Weixu came back. Seeing Lian Rongrong holding the book, he curiously asked, "Where did you get the book?"
