Chapter 70 What Mischief Are You Planning?
Ye Wan watched him approach and instinctively held her breath. "When did I lie?"
Could it be that he discovered something?
Lin Anyuan stared straight at her, his eyes dark. "You said you don't like me, isn't that a lie?"
Ye Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "I clearly said I like you."
I thought I'd discovered her secret. What's going on? I scared her.
Lin Anyuan opened his shirt and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), looking like he was ready to let anyone do as they pleased.
"I knew you had your eye on me. Here, I'll give you a chance."
Ye Wan: ...
"ill."
She turned and went to the next room, her ears burning hot. What was that sharp-tongued man up to now?
Lin Anyuan watched her leave, then sat up from the kang (a heated brick bed), looked down at himself, and couldn't figure out where he had gone wrong that made him look bad.
Didn't she like me? How come she doesn't like me anymore so quickly?
Sure enough, women are fickle.
Ye Wan, who had found an excuse to sleep with three girls in the next room, dreamed all night about Lin Anyuan seducing her.
When I woke up the next morning, I only felt a heat in my lower body...
She's menstruating.
"Mom, you can use this. I'll wash your pants after you change." Daya handed Ye Wan a menstrual belt stuffed with wood ash.
She just made this; no one in the family needs it. However, she had made menstrual belts in the embroidery workshop and had seen the older women use them.
Ye Wan then noticed the stain on her pants and looked embarrassed. "No need, I can wash it myself. Just... use this?"
It's all ash inside, with only a layer of coarse cloth on the outside. If you use this, you'll end up covered in ash and mud. She simply can't accept it.
"If Mother doesn't like it, I still have some fabric left. I'll sew some more today."
Daya explained that there are also ones made of cotton cloth, filled with cotton or cotton fabric, but these are expensive and ordinary people can't afford them.
"Thank you for your help." Ye Wan blushed slightly. She was really bad at needlework. Remembering that she still had half a pack of sanitary napkins in her space, she decided to change first.
Just as she was about to go back inside to change, Lin Anyuan stood in the yard, looking at her from behind with a puzzled expression. "Are you injured?"
"No, you go to work now. I'm taking the three of them to rent a courtyard today."
After Ye Wan finished speaking, she ran into the house and closed the door.
"Dad, Mom's menstruating, don't go in."
Lin Anyuan's hand, which was about to push the door open, awkwardly froze in mid-air.
Inside the room, Ye Wan had already used her mind to summon that pitiful half-pack of sanitary napkins.
I never expected that the biggest problem after time travel would be this.
When she has money, she'll make sanitary napkins, the non-toxic kind!!!
Ye Wan changed her pants and came out of the house. Seeing Lin Anyuan, she asked, "Why are you still here?"
"Is there anything that's bothering you? I heard that women often experience abdominal pain during this time. Should we go to the clinic?" Lin Anyuan didn't look at her as he spoke; he was looking down at his fingers.
He heard it from gossip that women experience severe abdominal pain during their menstrual period.
"I'm perfectly fine. It's just my period, not that I'm sick. Da Ya, pack the steamed buns and side dishes in the pot for your dad. We should head out."
Ye Wan felt perfectly fine; she was incredibly healthy from drinking the spiritual spring water.
Lin Anyuan was stunned for a moment.
On the way, Lin Anyuan kept glancing at Ye Wan, which made her feel uneasy.
What mischief is she plotting? Has she offended Lin Anyuan?
When they arrived in town, just as they were about to ask him, they saw Lin Anyuan walking away quickly.
Ye Wan: ...
Problem.
Ye Wan went directly to her godparents' place today, and then went with her godfather to rent a yard with an elm tree in front of it, and started moving.
The elderly couple didn't have much, and they had everything ready in less than half a day.
"Hey old man, where are you all going?"
The woman next door noticed they had locked the door and asked curiously.
“My daughter and son-in-law are very filial; they invited us to come and live with them for a while,” Aunt Cai replied casually.
As for this small, shabby courtyard, it was bought by the old man. Just lock the door, and he can come back to live there when the other place is no longer available for rent.
The woman next door said exaggeratedly, "Oh dear, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you two old folks to live at your son-in-law's house? People will start to dislike you if you stay there too long!"
Aunt Cai said happily, "We'll come back if we get disliked."
She got a daughter out of nowhere, and she's so filial. No matter what others say that she doesn't like, she's happy.
Ye Wan also spoke up, "Auntie, don't worry, I won't look down on my parents!"
The woman next door muttered something unintelligible as she entered her yard.
After moving to her new home, Aunt Cai was overjoyed and personally cooked to warm up the stove.
After hesitating for a long time, the old man finally spoke to his wife, "I want to go to the prefectural city."
Aunt Cai slammed down the kitchen knife in her hand. "Where are you going? To see your old flame?"
The old man coughed, his body trembling, and said with an awkward laugh, "I don't have any old flames. If I don't want to go, I don't want to go."
He whispered, "Chunya, we're in front of the children, give me some face."
Ye Wan asked curiously, "I've never been to the prefectural city before. What does it look like?"
His eyes darted back and forth between the coughing old man and his godfather. This skinny old man, did he have an old flame?
Er Ya interjected, "I heard that the prefectural city isn't far, only an hour's drive round trip. I've never been there before. Mother, could you take me?"
"Godfather, take me there." Ye Wan said, then instructed the three girls, "You three stay here and don't go anywhere. I'll bring you gifts when we come back."
Upon hearing that she was to bring a gift, Er Ya immediately shut up.
Then Ye Wan whispered in Aunt Cai's ear, "Godmother, I'm going to keep an eye on Godfather and scratch his old flame's face."
Aunt Cai was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this, and said, "Go ahead, go ahead."

...
Fucheng Academy.
"Wen Shu, if nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely be on the list of successful candidates in this provincial examination. Remember, do not be arrogant or impatient."
"Thank you, teacher."
Liu Wenshu bowed respectfully as he left his teacher's room, where he was immediately surrounded by people.
"Wen Shu, didn't the teacher call you over to give you extra tutoring?"
"Yes, yes, we're all classmates, so don't hide anything from me!"
Liu Wenshu yawned. "Don't make up baseless accusations. It just means I shouldn't sleep more and should read more books."
He was telling the absolute truth. That's exactly what the teacher said as soon as we went in. He's always been listless and sleepy when it gets hot since he was a child.
"I really envy you. You just eat and sleep all day, and yet you still produce such excellent articles. You must have had a famous teacher when you were young, right?"
"I don't know about that. I was too young then and I can't remember. You should ask my dad."
Don't think he doesn't know what bad things these people are up to; they're just jealous of his family's wealth.
Liu Wenshu was too lazy to deal with these people, so he yawned and went back to his dormitory.
He didn't like living with others, so he paid to move into a private room.
"Young master, it's hot, have some soup."
Yantai brought in a bowl of soup to cool off, only to find her young master slumped over the table again.
Liu Wenshu said lazily, "Yantai, I miss Lady Ye again. Do you think I'm bewitched?"
Yantai rolled her eyes. "Young master, if you're craving something, just say so. Don't ruin the young lady's reputation. Have some soup."
The old lady arranged for Tao'er and Xing'er in the room to be well-trained since childhood and quite beautiful. The young master didn't even glance at them. Why would he be interested in a dark-faced village girl?
However, the hot and sour noodles were indeed very satisfying and delicious.
Liu Wenshu sat up straight. "Alright, you really understand me!"
Seeing that the young master wanted to read, Yantai was about to go out with an empty bowl in hand.
At this moment, Liu Wenshu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
