Chapter 96 She will open a secret menstrual shop
"younger sister!"
Shen Zhou blushed and was filled with embarrassment.
Cheng Shuyi is someone who can hold sanitary napkins in her hands generously, and there is even someone at the front desk of her homestay who provides sanitary napkins.
So she didn't think there was anything wrong with this topic.
"Sister Zhou, this is a sanitary napkin. You can roll it up and throw it away after one use. It's convenient and clean. Here you go."
In the gray cloth bag that Cheng Shuyi brought were sanitary napkins of the same brand but different styles.
Without waiting for Shen Zhou to speak, she placed the bags on the table in front of her.
"This is for daily use. If the amount is large, change it once an hour."
"This is for night use and can be used all night long."
"There are also these two. Use them when your period is about to end. If you feel uncomfortable with the mesh surface, use them..."
Cheng Shuyi talked incessantly.
Shen Zhou's face had already turned red, and she quickly held her hand to stop her from continuing, "Sister, please stop talking."
Only then did Cheng Shuyi realize Shen Zhou's embarrassment.
She stood up to close the door, then sat down again, looking serious and speaking in a gentle tone.
"Sister Zhou, don't think that menstruation is something shameful. All women in the world menstruate."
"Women feel uncomfortable physically and emotionally during menstruation, so it's most important that products are comfortable to use and don't hurt the skin."
Cheng Shuyi opened a pack of sanitary napkins, took one out, opened it and taught her how to use it.
However, Shen Zhou was always repulsive, as if she had seen something indecent and didn't even dare to look at it.
"I appreciate your kindness, sister."
Shen Zhou gently pushed the things on the table and urged, "Sister, put the things away quickly. My husband and Chang'er are coming back soon. Don't let them see it."
Cheng Shuyi was stunned when his item was rejected, and was a little confused.
"But Sister Zhou, your cotton strips won't dry out today..."
"Oh, sister!"
Shen Zhou didn't want people to talk about whether her thing could be dried in the sun.
She frowned at Cheng Shuyi for the first time.
Cheng Shuyi also noticed it.
She quickly put the things on the table back into the cloth bag and placed it on the ground at her feet.
Changing the subject, she said, "Sister Zhou, I was inconsiderate just now. I hope you won't mind."
"This is the desk lamp I bought for Changge'er."
Cheng Shuyi took out a gift for Chang Ge'er and said, "It's windy in late autumn nights, and it's inconvenient for Chang Ge'er to read by candlelight at night. I bought table lamps for Qiqi and Xuxu, and I bought one for Chang Ge'er as well."
The weather in Shengjing City has become colder and ice is no longer needed.
A few days ago, I was helping my two kids with their homework. It was very windy at night, and even if we covered it with a lamp, the candlelight would go out.
Cheng Shuyi took Pei Yanli shopping in the mall today and bought a few table lamps.
"This is a battery-powered model, use it like this."
Cheng Shuyi specially bought a battery-powered desk lamp and a lot of batteries.
She put batteries in the lamp and said, "Look, Sister Zhou, just touch here and the light will turn on."
Speaking of Chang Ge'er, Shen Zhou finally returned to normal and studied the lamp curiously.
"There's a small screen here for checking the time."
Cheng Shuyi had just finished speaking when the sound of the night watchman came from the alley.
At this time, the academy has also finished classes.
She simply adjusted Changge'er's lamp to the hour of You. Fortunately, the lamp she bought could be set to the twelve-hour mode.
When Shen Zhou saw Cheng Shuyi delivering the lantern and helping her, she suddenly felt guilty.
She took out her handkerchief and started crying.
"Sister, I don't know why I got angry with you just now. I'm sorry."
When Cheng Shuyi saw Shen Zhou crying, he hurried forward to pat her back to comfort her.
"Sister, don't blame yourself. I understand."
People who have their periods are very sensitive and their emotions are unstable.
It's inevitable.
And Shen Zhoushi seemed to have some other problems.
Cheng Shuyi inadvertently saw her hands hanging on her legs, clutching her dress tightly, looking very uncomfortable.
In the end, Shen Zhoushi did not accept the bag of sanitary napkins, but only accepted the desk lamp.
When leaving the Shen family, Cheng Shuyi took another look at the cotton cloth drying in the corner of the yard, which was gray, damp and invisible to the sun.
She had always known that women in the Great Sheng Dynasty used long, wide strips of cloth they sewed themselves to menstruate.
Women from wealthy families could stuff cotton into the cloth strips and throw them away after a single use.
For women from ordinary families, like Shen Zhoushi, stuffing cotton into their clothes was considered a luxury, and they could just wash and dry it before using it.
For the girls from poor families, not only were the strips of cloth made from old clothes, but they were also stuffed with old strips of cloth.
What's more, some people even use ashes from freshly burned plants as filling.
Wash it after use, dry the cloth and fill it with wood ash again.
This happens over and over again.
Cheng Shuyi was helping the two children with their homework, and his mind was full of thoughts about Shen Zhoushi.
Even in modern times, there are still many girls who dare not buy sanitary products openly, so it is no wonder that Shen Zhou was so resistant.
But why?
It was obvious that Shen Zhou was not feeling well in the evening, but given her personality, it was impossible for her to see a doctor.
She'll probably just have to endure it alone.
Cheng Shuyi was still worried.
She went back to her room to get some things, said hello to Pei Yanli, and then went to the Shen family again with a lantern.
During the days when the lady is having her period, Xiaotao, her personal maid, has to stay with her all the time.
When Cheng Shuyi knocked on the door, Xiaotao was still in the kitchen using the remaining fire in the stove to help Shen Zhoushi dry the cloth strips.
Shen Ting was handling official business in the study.
It just so happened that Cheng Shuyi went directly to the side room to find Shen Zhoushi.
Shen Zhou felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to take another bath.
When the door opened, he bumped into Cheng Shuyi.
Cheng Shuyi ignored everything else and went straight in and closed the door.
He handed the thing in his hand to Shen Zhoushi: "Sister Zhou, this is an external ointment, you can wipe it after bathing."
"This is an oral medication, taken three times a day with warm water, which will help you get a good night's sleep."
"And this, you must use it!"
Cheng Shuyi spoke very quickly and softly, not giving Shen Zhoushi any chance to speak.
After handing the three things to Shen Zhou, she left without looking back.
Later she will open a secret parlor that only serves women, specializing in menstruation!
Cheng Shuyi's enthusiasm returned.
The next day, she went to find Qin Yan.
When Qin Yan saw her, he was as if he had seen a ghost and dropped the cup in his hand.
The hot tea made him hiss and inhale.
"You, are you a human or a ghost?"
No, he had clearly seen with his own eyes that she was extremely sick and emaciated and would not live long.
How come she came back to life?
Cheng Shuyi also felt a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I didn't die, so I came to ask you to return my shop."
It's really her!
Qin Yan moved his mouth, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.
"It's not you... I've already offered you incense, and now you tell me you didn't die?!"
He had been so devoutly burning incense for her for several days in vain!
He helped her get through the first seven days!
