The three children obediently replied with an "Oh".
Yin Lan could still hear the child asking her with concern where she felt unwell. What a good child, she really was her good child.
Yin Lan is not feeling well. Today is the first day, and her stomach hurts.
And my hands were so sore that I couldn't even lift them!
She regrets it now, she regrets it terribly.
She shouldn't have dragged it out for so long. She didn't know that dragging it out for so long would lead to this.
And after her reckless provocation yesterday, Chen Yourun went completely insane.
Even in that state, he could stay up all night?
Yin Lan threw her hand under the bed; it felt numb, sore, and she found it incredibly disgusting.
With her eyelids too heavy to lift, Yin Lan fell asleep again.
She woke up groggily some time later.
I noticed that it seemed to be getting dark outside.
The door was pushed open.
As soon as Yin Lan saw the tall figure entering, she snorted angrily and refused to look at him.
Chen Yourun sat on the edge of the bed.
She was holding a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun in her hand, a fragrant meat bun.
"Are you still feeling unwell? Get up and eat something before going back to sleep?"
I didn't mind that she slept for too long, so it was alright.
Yin Lan was genuinely hungry.
She tried to do it.
Chen Yourun had already taken the initiative, placing his hands under her armpits to pick her up.
Yin Lan wanted to stop him, but then she remembered that he had touched her all last night, and she was indeed too weak to resist, so she decided not to be coy.
Chen Yourun was quite strong, and she felt that she was also quite heavy. As a result, he lifted her up with ease, without any effort.
For some unknown reason, Yin Lan glared at him fiercely.
Chen Yourun smiled and was about to feed her.
How could Yin Lan possibly need that! Of course she refused, saying, "I'll do it myself."
Chen Yourun smiled, "Looks like I still have strength. My hands aren't sore anymore, and they're not useless. Hmm."
Yin Lan gritted her teeth.
Then I remembered the scene from last night when she begged for mercy, saying that her hand was going to be ruined.
He shoved the person aside and said, "Get out."
Whether it was because she lacked strength or Chen Yourun was too heavy, she couldn't push him at all; it was like scratching an itch.
"Don't be angry, I didn't mean to either. It's your fault, hmm?"
Chen Yourun implied that she had been incredibly audacious yesterday, thinking she was safe and therefore did what she did.
Yin Lan snorted.
"Come on, eat more." Chen Yourun really fed her.
Yin Lan didn't refuse anymore; being waited on was quite nice.
At least he had some conscience; he knew she was hungry and told her to eat more.
While feeding him, Chen Yourun said, "Eat more so you'll have more energy."
Yin Lan thought he was right, but then suddenly stopped. What did he mean? Was that what he meant?
She was quite surprised when he complained to her last night that he was exhausted, and now he was saying the same thing again.
Yin Lan looked up at him and saw the smile in Chen Yourun's eyes.
Yin Lan: ...
"I'm not eating anymore." She put down her chopsticks.
"Are you really not hungry? There's nothing else to eat tonight."
Yin Lan silently picked up her chopsticks again, ignoring him. Why should she punish her stomach for his mistake?
It took her quite a while to finally finish eating.
Chen Yourun stood up and looked down at her.
"Can you get up? You need to get up and wash up. If you don't get up, the child will go and find a doctor for you."
He knew she loved cleanliness.
Moreover, the child has been talking about it all day.
Chen Yourun felt that she really hadn't done anything, and it was just her hands, so how could she be so tired that she slept all day?
It seems her physical strength is indeed not very good, so he has to think of a way to get her to exercise, Chen Yourun thought.
Yin Lan glared at him fiercely.
"I'll help you put it on," Chen Yourun said with a smile.
Yin Lan's face flushed as she thought about herself.
"You! Get out!"
Chen Yourun suppressed a smile and went out.
The three children were genuinely worried about their mother; how could she have slept all day? And when they wanted to go see a doctor, their father stopped them.
My dad is so mean.
Seeing a doctor is expensive, and getting medicine is expensive too, but that's their mother. How can they watch their mother get sick and not take her medicine? What if she dies?
They almost went to see a doctor secretly, but their father found out and brought them back.
Chen Yourun explained with a hint of helplessness, "Your mother is fine."
The three children simply didn't believe it.
Now that they saw their mother get up, they all rushed to her, crying and shouting, while angrily rebuking Chen Yourun for what he had done that day.
Yin Lan finally felt much of her anger subside.
So dinner was also cooked by Chen Yourun. The taste was naturally not as good as Yin Lan's, but it was still quite good.
Moreover, he's not stingy; he provides everything from rice and meat to eggs.
They even prepared a bowl of brown sugar water for Yin Lan.
He remained calm and said, "I went to ask Dashan's wife."
But Yin Lan still noticed his reddened ears. So this man can be embarrassed too.
It's funny to think about it now. He's a grown man asking women these kinds of questions. Yin Lan thinks that menstruation and such are perfectly normal and not something unlucky or unclean. If these things are unlucky or unclean, then why aren't the babies born unclean or unlucky? Instead, it's become a joyous thing.
As you can see, sometimes our perception of whether something is good or bad is influenced by certain people and external voices, which try to make us think it is good or bad.
If everything related to women is defined as unlucky, and this kind of brainwashing continues for a period of time, wouldn't people also come to believe that women are unlucky, making it easier to suppress them?
Anyway, Yin Lan never believed in these things. She could say that men are unlucky!
However, in this era, men are still somewhat embarrassed and unwilling to engage with or understand women's issues, especially menstruation.
So he was able to ask others what she needed at this time and how to take care of her. Yin Lan was quite satisfied.
Especially after seeing him prepare wood ash, then wash her menstrual pad and fill it with a new one.
He handed it over somewhat awkwardly.
Yin Lan accepted it very generously.
I'm not so angry anymore.
The weather has been getting colder day by day these past few days, and today it got dark particularly early.
After finishing their dinner, everyone stayed home and snuggled up in their blankets to keep warm.
When there's nothing to do, especially when it's cold, I'll try to find some humor in my misery.
Yin Lan's family has a new house with a kang (heated brick bed). When cooking at night, the heat from the firewood will waft over, making the bed warm and cozy.
It had started snowing heavily outside sometime earlier.
The snow was falling heavily, and the wind was blowing fiercely. The doors and windows of the house were all tightly closed, and the children went to bed early. The three children slept together.
The new beds we've made are all very large; they can easily sleep three kids.
