Xu Aihua told Mei Si that every girl will have her period, usually between the ages of 14 and 16, and then once a month thereafter.
"It's not something that only happens after marriage, why do you have such a strange idea?" Xu Aihua really couldn't understand what Mei Si was thinking every day. Why did she think that only married women get their periods?
"Sometimes my mom would moan at night, and it sounded like she was in a lot of pain. Then she would bleed. Usually, you only bleed when you're injured, so I assumed she was injured."
Mei Si observed Xu Aihua's expression as she spoke, lest she say something wrong.
Mei Si could have avoided mentioning her parents' affairs, as it was too risky. It wouldn't be good if Xu Aihua discovered something was wrong and exposed the situation.
But she really wanted to know. She felt that Xu Aihua knew a lot, and maybe she would know why Aunt Mei was humming.
"What? Your dad actually hit your mom?"
Xu Aihua stared at Mei Si in shock, never expecting that Mei Si's father would hit her mother.
"I don't know. I wanted to sneak a peek, but they found out. My mom said I'll understand when I grow up." Mei Si was a little disappointed to see that Xu Aihua had the same idea as her. It seemed that Xu Aihua didn't know what was going on either.
"Huh? Now that you mention it, I think I heard my mom calling out softly at night when I was in the same room as my mom and dad. But she would come right away as soon as I cried, so I didn't think much of it."
Xu Aihua suddenly remembered her childhood. Every time she woke up at night to pee, she would hear her mother calling her. The voice was very soft, as if someone had covered her mouth.
Xu Aihua: Does my dad also hit my mom? But they're always laughing and talking together, I've never seen them argue.
"Is your family like this too?" Mei Si was surprised to find that it wasn't just her family that was like this.
"How about... I go home and ask my sister? Maybe she knows what's going on." Xu Aihua's sister is already working and is considered an adult. Xu Aihua felt that her sister must know what was going on.
“Okay, remember to ask when you get home.” Mei Si nodded, she also felt that Xu Aihua’s sister must know.
"Meisi, what... happened just now?" Xu Aihua, who had been holding back for a long time, finally managed to ask about what had just happened.
Xu Aihua: Why did Tian Zige fly out? Did Mei Si push him? But looking at Mei Si's movements, she didn't seem to use any force at all. Could it be a ghost? No! Impossible, there are no ghosts after the founding of the People's Republic of China, those are all fake!
"I just pushed him."
Mei Si spoke casually, but Xu Aihua was not at peace. She did not expect it to really be Mei Si. How could Mei Si have such great strength?
Although Mei Si is tall, Tian Zige is even taller than her. Girls are naturally weaker than boys, so why is it different for Mei Si?
Xu Aihua: Could it be that Mei Si is a boy?
But she was squatting when she went to the toilet.
Ever since Mei Liang regarded Mei Si as a martial arts master, Mei Si has found that she sometimes cannot control her strength. Mei Liang and the others do not find it strange at all, as if she is supposed to have that much strength.
After thinking about it carefully, Mei Si roughly understood what they were thinking. They probably thought she had some kind of internal energy or something similar.
Mei Si found it very convenient to pretend to know martial arts, so for the past few years she has been acting as a martial arts master.
“You…you are really strong, no, extremely strong!” Xu Aihua suddenly remembered something she had overlooked before. It seemed that Mei Si’s strength had existed since she first met her.
"Um."
"Then...where did you get this strength?" Xu Aihua knew she shouldn't ask, but she really wanted to know. She also wanted to have that much strength. If she had strength, she would never be bullied by boys again.
"I've practiced martial arts since I was a child," Mei Si lied through her teeth.
"Oh! So you're learning martial arts." Xu Aihua nodded, feeling that this was to be expected, but also a little disappointed, it seemed she wouldn't become a strongwoman.
Xu Aihua: I don't want to be like those in the books, getting up before dawn every day to practice. Getting up early is just too painful.
Xu Aihua asked her sister about it the night she returned home.
"..."
"Sis, what happened? Say something! Did Mom and Dad really fight in the middle of the night?" Xu Aihua was getting anxious when her sister remained silent. She really didn't want her parents to fight.
"Why are you asking this? This is not something you should know," Sister Xu said softly, covering her blushing face with the quilt.
"Sis, just tell me." Xu Aihua moved closer to her sister. If it weren't for the quiet of the night, Xu Aihua would have almost not heard what her sister said.
"I can't say this. You'll understand when you're older." Sister Xu turned over, her back to Xu Aihua, indicating with her actions that the conversation was over.
“If you don’t tell, I’ll tell Mom and Dad that you’re dating Zhu Zi,” Xu Aihua threatened, staring at the back of her sister’s head.
"You brat, do you want to be pinched?" Sister Xu said angrily, turning around and pinching Xu Aihua's arm hard.
"Ouch! Sis! I was wrong! I was just saying that." Xu Aihua quickly admitted her mistake when she saw that her sister was angry.
"Hmph!" Sister Xu snorted, which meant she let Xu Aihua off the hook.
"Sister! Just tell me!" Xu Aihua rolled over and pressed herself against her older sister, shaking her vigorously.
"Alright, alright, I'm scared of you, get off me, you're so heavy!" Sister Xu's chest hurt from being pressed down, so she had no choice but to give in.
"Tell me quickly!" Xu Aihua hurriedly returned to her bed and waited obediently.
