Chapter 138: Deception
Aunt Zhao did not delay and found something for Ji Zhisui.
After Ji Zhisui had tidied everything, she picked up the bronze mirror beside her and looked at herself. Only after she found that her face was not so pale did she come out of the bedroom.
But as soon as she came out, Pei Yian discovered something unusual. Sui Niang's condition seemed to be worse than before she went to bed, as if she had not rested.
"Sui Niang, didn't you get enough rest? Do you want to go home first?"
"I'm fine. I probably just slept too long." Ji Zhisui made an excuse to get by. After all, she really couldn't tell anyone about her period.
Her complexion had clearly returned to normal, so why did An Ge still notice something was wrong?
"Then you can walk around. There aren't many customers now, and it's almost time to close the stall."
Considering that Sui Niang might be feeling unwell, and that there were few customers in the restaurant at this time, Pei Yian decisively closed the restaurant and took everyone home.
But halfway through, Ji Zhisui, who originally felt that her stomach was fine, suddenly felt waves of abdominal cramps, forcing her to stop and slow down.
I have to say, this kind of intermittent abdominal pain is really torturous.
As soon as Ji Zhisui stopped, others also noticed something was wrong, especially Mrs. Zhao. She knew the reason and also knew that some women were fine during their period, while others would experience unbearable abdominal pain.
Seeing Sui Niang's expression, she knew it was the latter. She looked at Pei Yian, who was about to come forward with a worried look on his face. Knowing that the two were husband and wife, she gently pushed him from behind and said, "Mr. Pei, Sui Niang has a stomachache. Why don't you take her back quickly?"
"Yes, yes, An'er, Sui Niang looks uncomfortable, go and help her." Pei Ersao wanted to go to the clinic to call a doctor, not knowing what was wrong with Sui Niang.
Sister Zhao held the person back and whispered a few words to Sister Pei, then she knew what had happened. It turned out that Sui Niang was having period pain.
This is when Ang'er comes in handy.
Pei Yian was pushed and instigated by these two people and came to Ji Zhisui. He didn't understand what was going on. "Sui Niang, how about I take you to the clinic?"
If Old Man Yan wasn't far away, he would have wanted to take people there to take a look immediately.
"No need, An Ge, I'll just wait." Ji Zhisui shook her head and refused. She was just feeling the pain from her period, there was no need to make such a fuss.
Besides, this is probably the same as my tendency to attract mosquitoes. It is an old problem and even if I see a doctor, it may not be able to be completely cured.
"Ang'er, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take Sui Niang back to have a good rest." Pei Ersao urged. There was still half the journey left, and in Sui Niang's condition, she might not be able to walk that long.
Pei Yian came to Ji Zhisui and squatted down, "Sui Niang, come up, I'll carry you back."
The hugging posture is too intimate. Given Sui Niang's personality, she may not agree. In comparison, it is better to carry me on the back.
"Yes, Sui Niang, if you feel uncomfortable, let An Ge'er carry you back." Pei Ersao stepped forward to support Sui Niang, who looked unhappy. She found that her hands and feet were still a little cold. It seemed that she had to ask a doctor to check it out tomorrow.
Ji Zhisui originally planned to endure it. After all, the abdominal pain came in waves and would go away, but the uncomfortable feeling in his abdomen did not subside at all.
Looking at the broad back in front of him, coupled with the pain in his abdomen, Ji Zhisui gritted his teeth and finally lay on Pei Yian's back.
Pei Yian carried the person on his back very easily. The person on his back was very light, as if he weighed nothing. Thinking that Sui Niang didn't eat much on weekdays, he decided to supervise her more closely in the future.
The person behind him was small, lying on his back obediently. He walked slowly, fearing that a quick step would disturb the person behind him.
There weren't many people on the street, and the surroundings were very quiet. Under the bright moonlight, Pei Yian's tall figure was reflected. There was a bulge behind the tall figure, which was Ji Zhisui.
Looking at the backs of the two people about to merge together, Pei Yian's mouth corners unconsciously raised. It would be nice if time could stay at this moment.
Although he thought so, the journey was not far, so he still carried the person back home.
Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Pei, who were at home, were a little flustered when they saw this scene. They walked out and came to Ji Zhisui. Seeing her unhappy face, they asked, "Mother Sui, what's wrong with you?"
Pei's second wife pulled the two of them aside and talked in private for a while. When Pei heard this, she immediately ran out of the kitchen, found some brown sugar, and planned to boil some brown sugar water, which might make Sui Niang feel better.
Ji Zhisui entered the room with the help of everyone. Before she could react, Pei Yian, Pei Ersao and two children were standing in the room.
The two children looked at her eagerly, "Third sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
"Aunt, it hurts...it hurts so much..."
Ji Zhisui felt a little embarrassed by the eager looks from the other people. With the Pei family's attitude, people who didn't know her might think something was wrong with her, but she just had a stomachache due to her period.
She placed her hands on the two children's heads and said comfortingly, "It's okay! Tiantian, Xingxing, I'm really fine, don't worry!"
"Third sister-in-law, you are lying! Your face is so pale, how can you be okay? Tiantian doesn't believe it!" Pei Tiantian said with the corners of her mouth raised, as if she was about to cry.
Pei Tiantian's behavior also influenced Pei Xinghai, making him more sensitive and vulnerable.
Ji Zhisui's pale face reminded him of his mother. His mother also had a pale face at that time... and then... and then he no longer had a mother.
If Pei Tiantian looked like she was about to cry but not crying, then Pei Xinghai was really crying. His little face was wet, his grape-like eyes blinked, and big tears fell down.
"Xingxing, why are you crying?"
Ji Zhisui hated to see children crying, especially Xingxing’s crying face, which was very heartbreaking.
"Third Aunt, please don't leave Xingxing." Pei Xinghai's voice was choked with sobs, and he pulled at the corner of Ji Zhisui's clothes while speaking.
Compared to Xingxing's pitiful look, Ji Zhisui's attention was completely diverted.
If I didn't hear it correctly, Xingxing spoke a complete sentence without stuttering or breaking up the sentences.
Pei Xinghai, ignored, cried even harder, fearing that his third aunt, the best person in the world, would leave him just like his mother.
Seeing someone crying so sadly, Ji Zhisui immediately reacted, quickly hugged the person in his arms, and gently patted his back, "Third Aunt is really fine, I promise you."
Pei Xinghai gradually calmed down when he felt the gentle caress on his back, but his nose was sniffling, which looked so pitiful.
