Jiang Yue didn't know when she fell asleep.
In her sleep, Jiang Yue vaguely felt the sheets beneath her were wet and her lower abdomen was in sharp pain. She reached out and touched it, and her palm was sticky and smelled of blood. Jiang Yue was immediately awakened by the fright.
Just after waking up, Jiang Yue's face wrinkled in pain. Oh wow, my period has come.
Jiang Yue didn't expect her period to come so suddenly without any warning, and her stomach hurt so much.
What’s even more terrifying is that there are no sanitary napkins available at this time!
In the middle of the night, Jiang Yue changed the bed sheets and took out the menstrual belt from the cabinet based on her memory. She had never used this thing before, and after searching through her original memory for a long time, she finally understood that she had to put straw paper inside and then put it on.
Moreover, this thing is to be recycled. You can't throw it away even if it's dirty. Wash it, dry it, and continue to use it.
The key point is that this thing is hard and uncomfortable to wear, and the straw paper does not absorb water well, so it is easy to leak out. After a while, Jiang Yue has to take it off and replace it with straw paper.
Jiang Yue was devastated. Oh no! She couldn't sleep tonight!
Gu Ye didn't sleep well at night. He couldn't fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of Jiang Yue accusing him.
In the middle of the night, Gu Ye heard rustling sounds coming from Jiang Yue's room. He didn't know what she was doing. She was opening the cabinet and dragging the chair, and she was sighing and muttering. The sounds continued until morning.
Gu Ye got up and went for a run. When he went out, he glanced at Jiang Yue's closed door. There had been no movement from her side about half an hour ago.
When Gu Ye came back, it was already daybreak. When he pushed open the gate, he saw two pieces of clothes hanging on the clothesline in the yard and some bed sheets soaking in a basin.
He heard footsteps and looked up. Jiang Yue was carrying out a basin of clothes. Before last night, Jiang Yue would happily call out "Gu Ye Gu Ye" when she saw him, but when she saw him today, she just glanced at him indifferently, then lowered her eyelids and walked towards the well.
Gu Ye suddenly felt as if something was pulling at his heart.
Jiang Yue didn't dare go to bed all night. The menstrual belt was really uncomfortable and her stomach was aching. She was afraid that if she turned over in her sleep, the blood would leak out and get on the bed. She had changed the sheets twice, and the cotton wool was stained with blood. If she got it on again, there would be no way to change them.
It was almost dawn when Jiang Yue dozed off for a while, and then was awakened by a sudden surge of fluids. Sure enough, she had wet her pants again.
Jiang Yue had been here for a few days, and even though she knew the plot was extremely cruel to her, she didn't break down. But she was broken down that night because of her period.
No wonder when she read an article about the greatest invention of the 20th century, sanitary napkins were on the list. Today, she truly and deeply appreciates the greatness of sanitary napkins.
It’s really inconvenient without sanitary napkins!
Jiang Yue sat by the well, rubbing the sheets silently. She used to have a washing machine at home, and when the clothes were dirty, she would just throw them into the washing machine. She hadn't washed clothes by herself for many years.
Alas, she misses home!
"Let me wash it!" A pair of big hands suddenly reached out and took the basin from Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue came back to her senses and found that she had been distracted. She looked up and saw Gu Ye's well-defined profile. He was still so handsome, so handsome that it could touch her heartstrings. However, when Jiang Yue saw Gu Ye this time, she no longer had the same impulse as yesterday.
Maybe she finally faced the reality that Gu Ye was not destined to be hers!
It’s enough to have your self-esteem hurt once!
Jiang Yue did not refuse Gu Ye's help. She was not feeling well and had no strength at all. The well water in the morning was freezing cold. She had just washed two pieces of clothes when her stomach started to hurt again.
When Gu Ye took the basin of water, he smelled a hint of blood. He looked at Jiang Yue and seemed stunned for a moment.
"I'll wash it myself!" Jiang Yue thought he was disgusted. When women have their periods, they are always considered dirty, and menstrual blood has always been considered an obscene thing. Even in Jiang Yue's era, there were still people who humiliated women during menstruation, believing that menstruation was dirty and shameful.
"No need, you go and rest, I'll do it!" But Gu Ye was only stunned for a moment, and the expression on his handsome face did not change at all, and there was no disgust as Jiang Yue thought.
He was quick and efficient, and it was obvious that he usually did laundry. He rinsed the sheets several times until the blood stains were clean. Jiang Yue couldn't wring the sheets, but Gu Ye wrung them dry in a few strokes and hung them on the clothesline to dry.
While Gu Ye was doing all this, Jiang Yue was sitting on a small stool and watching. Her originally lively eyes were now dull.
After what happened last night, it seemed as if there was a layer of paper between Jiang Yue and Gu Ye. When Jiang Yue looked at Gu Ye, she felt a sense of strangeness.
This is good, at least she won't think about relying on him anymore! She still has to walk the road ahead on her own.
Jiang Yue was unusually silent today, and seeing this, Gu Ye also became a little absent-minded.
He would glance at Jiang Yue from time to time, but Jiang Yue kept her eyelids drooping, thinking about something, and did not notice Gu Ye's gaze.
Jiang Yue was not feeling well, so she cooked some noodles for breakfast. Although she had given up trying to win Gu Ye's favor, she also had to eat, and she would not deliberately not cook or just do it casually. At least before she left, she would still prepare every meal carefully.
After breakfast, Gu Ye saw that Jiang Yue was still listless, so he said, "You are not feeling well, so don't go shopping for groceries today. I will ask Sister Zhao to bring more groceries for you."
"Oh!" Jiang Yue drooped her eyelids and nodded in response.
The two were speechless for a while. Gu Ye sat for a while, then put on his military cap, stood up and said to Jiang Yue, "I'm going to the regiment."
"Um!"
Jiang Yue still didn't raise his head.
Gu Ye bit his cheek, closed the gate and went out.
Jiang Yue now has a strong sense of crisis. After all, the family compound is not a place to stay for long, and Gu Ye is not her lover. Her plan to make money has to be put on the agenda.
In her two lifetimes combined, Jiang Yue has never been a person who relied on men for support. From the moment she woke up from Ji's house, she had thought about seizing the opportunity of the times and starting a business to make money.
Jiang Yue has actually been very busy these days. Whenever she has free time, she will write and draw in a notebook. She is making plans and listing projects that can make money.
Jiang Yue had not been sitting for a while when she felt her lower abdomen dropping. She quickly stood up and ran back to her room, anxious to change her menstrual belt before the toilet paper wet her pants.
In the original book, Pei Xueyun made her fortune by selling simple pasta, and Jiang Yue also planned to make food and sell it.
She is very good at cooking and has experience in running chain restaurants. The setting of Pei Xueyun is very consistent with Jiang Yue's personality and abilities.
After deciding on the general direction, Jiang Yue began to think about what kind of snacks to make as the first step.
The day passed quickly, and Jiang Yue did not go out the whole day. She was almost going to collapse from using the menstrual belt, so how could she dare to go out? She was afraid that she would dirty her pants after just a few steps.
Jiang Yue was thinking about making her own sanitary napkins.
But Jiang Yue immediately gave up the idea. Cotton is so expensive now that people are reluctant to use it to make clothes, so who would use it to make sanitary napkins?
