Yang Ming became more and more worried about his wife. He wasn’t in the mood to wash either, so he got up right away, quickly dried his body, put on his clothes, and ran to the outhouse door.
"Wife, are you in the outhouse?"
He called out to the inside, but there was no response. He became anxious; his wife had clearly said she was going to the outhouse.
He called out a few times, but nobody answered.
He pushed open the door to the outhouse but stumbled on something. By the light of the moon, he could faintly see a figure on the ground.
Why would his wife be lying here? Panicked, he hurriedly picked her up, but what he hadn’t expected to see when he did so was...
He couldn’t care about that now; the most important thing was to carry his wife back to the house.
Xiaoxiao was awake at this time, and she felt unbearably ashamed, her bargain husband had touched places he shouldn’t have.
She had just reached the outhouse when she felt a warm flow in her lower abdomen. It wasn’t a matter of not cleaning up after defecation; her period had come.
It had been such a long time since her last period that she had forgotten the feeling, and this body felt different from her original one.
In the past, she would experience back pain, cold legs, and no stomach ache.
But with this body, her lower abdomen hurt terribly during her period, the pain made her break out in cold sweats to the point that she thought she might faint in the outhouse.
Sure enough, as she stood up to pull up her trousers, she tumbled over.
But just as her bargain husband picked her up, she regained consciousness, causing her an excruciating level of embarrassment. She would rather have remained unconscious.
She decided to stay quiet and wait for her bargain husband to take her back to the house, then she would pretend to wake up.
After Yang Ming carried his wife back to the house and placed her on the kang, he went to help her pull up her trousers. But as he was turning her over to pull them up, he saw blood beneath her.
His heart sank with a thud as he saw his wife bleeding. How could she be injured? He quickly pulled her trousers up and then picked her up again.
Feeling herself being carried once more, Xiaoxiao realized that if she didn’t wake up now, the whole family would soon know she had her period.
Anyway, her bargain husband had already pulled up her trousers, and the awkward moment had passed. All she needed to do was wake up right away. She pretended to slowly open her eyes and called out to Yang Ming, "Husband."
Hearing his wife’s call, Yang Ming’s heavy heart lifted slightly. At least his wife wasn’t unconscious. "Wife, you’re awake. Don’t be afraid, I’m going to take you to see the doctor right now," he said.
Seeing her bargain husband’s reaction, Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but find it extremely funny. He actually thought that she was bleeding because she was hurt. Even after the last incident, he still didn’t know that women got their periods. He was so innocent.
"Husband, put me down, I’m fine."
"But you’re bleeding. How can you be fine? Don’t be scared, we’re going to see the doctor right now," he insisted.
Yang Ming thought his wife was trying to comfort him. She was bleeding, so it must hurt a lot. He had to take her to the doctor immediately. He said so as he held his wife, already at the door of the room.
Xiaoxiao struggled desperately. "I’m really fine, please put me down, it’s just my period!"
"..." Yang Ming froze in place, not understanding what his wife was talking about.
While he was puzzled, he heard his wife say something that jolted his heart.
"Women bleed every month, it’s normal. Don’t worry, it’ll stop in a few days."
