Zuo Li stared at this bookmark, his heart sinking into the abyss.
I don't know how long it took, but she took a long breath.
With a hint of bitterness on his face, he clipped the bookmark back into the book page.
But Zuo Li really couldn't continue reading this book.
"Ye Tong...maybe the mother of the cubs."
When Zuo Li thought about this possibility, she felt no comfort in her heart, but instead felt even more sad.
She bit her lip to suppress this feeling.
He stood up, came to Gu Feichen's desk and sat down, lying on the table, he remembered the day when he and Gu Feichen were holding her hand while writing.
Trying to use that moment of tenderness to dilute the complex emotions in my heart at this time.
"Well"
I don't know if she was depressed at this time, but her stomach actually started to hurt.
Zuo Li held her stomach, thinking that she didn't seem to have eaten anything inedible.
She frowned in pain and couldn't help crying out in pain.
Although the pain was severe, Zuo Li tried his best to lower his voice.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Zuo Li's forehead was already beaded with sweat. She looked up at the door and found Gu Yuanzheng looking at her with a puzzled expression.
She has light eyebrows, long and slightly curled eyelashes, and a pair of clear eyes with ebony pupils that contrast with her porcelain white skin.
"I...ah." Zuo Li almost didn't have the energy to speak anymore, and could only lie on the desk, with almost no energy.
The pain coming from her stomach made her cry out in surprise.
But even when he screamed, his voice was weak.
At this time, Gu Yuanzheng could not continue to stand at the door.
He quickly walked into the study and came to Zuo Li, "You look very uncomfortable. You need to go to the hospital immediately. I will help you."
At this time, Gu Yuanzheng did not care about the identities of the two of them, and stretched out his hand to hold Zuo Li's shoulder.
At this moment, Zuo Li felt a burst of heat flowing out from below.
Instantly, she understood why her stomach hurt!
"No... no need, I'm fine, I..."
Zuo Li wanted to break away from Gu Yuanzheng, but the movement was too sudden, and without the other person noticing, he slid directly to the ground.
"Aunt Zuo, how are you—" Gu Yuanzheng's words stopped abruptly, and his eyes were fixed on the chair Zuo Li was sitting on just now.
I saw a dark stain on the chair with dark blue cushions. If you look closely, it is clearly blood stains.
Zuo Li was about to cry.
It’s not painful!
But it’s so embarrassing!
After feeling the familiar heat just now, she realized that she was on her menstrual period!
Now, not only did she get her aunt to sit on Gu Feichen's chair, she was also caught by her stepson.
This embarrassing scene almost made her forget about the pain in her abdomen.
In fact, we can’t blame Zuo Li for not realizing that her aunt was coming at first.
The reason why she reacted so slowly was entirely because she had traveled to this world for more than two months and this was her first visit to her aunt.
She never dreamed that the original owner was just like her. Her menstrual period was not accurate at all and was often delayed!
"Yuan Zheng, can you help me call Aunt Liu over?"
Although Gu Yuanzheng was a young man, he also realized what had happened to his stepmother.
He looked away, a blush slowly appearing on his face.
His usually cold face softened a lot because of the crimson color on his face, adding a beauty that transcended gender.
He hummed, but still helped Zuo Li back up and sat on the chair before turning around and leaving.
"What a shame!" Zuo Li's face was pale due to menstrual cramps, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
But none of this compares to the embarrassment just now.
However, Zuo Li didn't feel embarrassed for long, because there was something even more embarrassing!
In 1980, sanitary napkins were not yet popular in the country!
In other words, with the reform and opening up, some sanitary napkins have been introduced from abroad, but there are none in Sunshine City, a third-tier city!
It may take a few years for it to become popular!
"Do you really want to use this?" Zuo Li held the silk belt similar to underwear in her hand, feeling really ashamed.
This silk belt is today's menstrual belt.
The middle of the silk belt is soft cotton. Compared with the coarse cloth belt made of grass and wood that the original owner used before, I don’t know how much healthier it is.
But, she wants to use her aunt's towel!
That’s really convenient!
This kind of silk belt needs to be replaced frequently. Generally, after taking out the blood-stained cotton, the belt has to be used repeatedly.
Zuo Li is under psychological pressure.
Aunt Liu's expression has always been melancholy ever since she learned that Zuo Li was here to be her aunt.
She naturally noticed that Zuo Li had not had a menstrual period since her marriage. At that time, she thought Zuo Li was pregnant.
As a result, what happened today dispelled her idea.
"Yes, use this. Madam, please wash yourself quickly and change."
Zuo Li was confused: "Can I use it once and then throw it away?"
Aunt Liu was shocked. It was obvious that she had never had such a luxurious thought.
But in the end Aunt Liu nodded: "Listen to my wife."
Zuo Li breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his body in the bathroom, and put on the silk belt.
I'm not used to it. After all, compared to modern scarves, this silk belt has a lot of presence.
Her stomach was still hurting, so Aunt Liu helped Zuo Li go to the room and lie down.
"Madam, your menstrual period is not accurate this time, so this won't work. After a few days of menstrual period, I will give her some Chinese medicine to nurse her back to health.
Now I can only boil some blood-replenishing soup for my wife to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable."
Zuo Li really wanted to say that she was like this in her previous life.
Moreover, she doesn’t want to drink Chinese medicine!
Chinese medicine is so bitter! One sip will cause suffering in the world!
She was not even afraid of menstrual cramps at this time. She hoped that her aunt would go away slowly this time so that she could not drink Chinese medicine so quickly.
Seeing Aunt Liu's serious expression, Zuo Li didn't dare say no.
She was a little embarrassed and said: "Aunt Liu, I soiled the cushion of the chair in Mr.'s study. Please wash it."
"These are all trivial matters, but..." Aunt Liu looked at Zuo Li with a sad face, hesitating to speak.
Zuo Li put a hand on her stomach, enduring the heartbreaking pain, and said gently: "Aunt Liu, just say what you have to say."
She also had menstrual cramps in her previous life, but she had ibuprofen painkillers at that time, but now she has to take them by herself.
It’s not like taking any painkillers in this day and age.
Zuo Li felt that if she said that, Aunt Liu would be the first to disagree.
"Madam, your body must be in good condition, otherwise you will not be able to add a child to the Gu family."
"puff"
If Zuo Li was drinking water at this time, he would definitely spit it out.
"Tian...Tian Ding?"
Aunt Liu said with a serious face: "Of course! Madam, you don't know that it is already difficult for my wife to enter the Gu family. If you don't give birth to a child of the Gu family, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the Gu family in the future!"
Zuo Li frowned. She almost subconsciously wanted to deny Aunt Liu's statement, which conflicted with her usual understanding.
In modern times, even if the three-child policy is introduced, women can choose whether to have children or not. Anyway, there is no throne to inherit in the family.
But, it’s 1980 now.
The Gu family is not an ordinary family.
Such a family really cares more about their children.
Zuo Li bit her lip, tightened the hand covering her stomach, and felt a depressed complaint in her heart:
It's not that she doesn't want to have children, but if Gu Feichen doesn't touch her, how can she have children?
Besides, to be honest, she got married to Gu Feichen as soon as she came here, and she didn't realize how difficult it was to become Mrs. Gu.
But Zuo Li was not stupid after all, and he quickly heard one thing from Aunt Liu's words.
That is, she was able to marry Gu Feichen so successfully, probably because, unknown to her, Gu Feichen blocked all the pressure for her.
In other words, the reason why she can live so stress-free is because Gu Feichen is carrying the burden for her.
She felt sour in her heart, lowered her eyes, and said nothing for a while.
Aunt Liu thought her words were too harsh and had hurt Zuo Li.
So she quickly comforted her and said, "Actually, my wife is not under much pressure. My husband already has a son and a daughter. So as long as my wife can give birth to a child, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl."
It's not like the second-bedroom branch, which gave birth to three daughters in a row and had to fight for a son to gain a firm foothold.
As for the third wife, she only has one daughter, and she has often been looked down upon by the second wife in recent years."
Zuo Li:!!!
Aunt Liu's words not only failed to comfort Zuo Li, but instead gave Zuo Li a feeling of confusion in time and space.
What two and three bedrooms?!
What to fight for a son?!!
Why is a daughter looked down upon?!!!
It’s almost terrifying to hear such words, okay?
For Zuo Li, who has received modern equal education for men and women and is an only child, this kind of statement is completely contrary to her views.
"Aunt Liu, my stomach still hurts. I want to drink some soup to warm my stomach."
Zuo Li decisively interrupted the conversation. She would rather miss the opportunity to get to know the Gu family than listen to these words that touched her sensitive nerves.
She was afraid that she would complain directly!
After Aunt Liu left, Zuo Li touched his belly and suddenly thought of something in his mind.
Gu Feichen didn't touch her because of what the original owner said when they got married, or because he didn't want her to have children?
To prevent brothers and sisters from fighting each other for family property in the future.
As soon as this idea came out, Zuo Li shuddered violently and the corners of his mouth kept twitching!
"Zuo Li, Zuo Li, you were affected by Aunt Liu's words. You directly transformed this ordinary marriage and love life into a life of house fighting and a fight for the rightful son in Kowloon! It's too exaggerated!"
Zuo Li quickly got rid of this terrible thought and lay on the bed, enduring the eighth level of menstrual cramps among the twelve levels of pain!
