After reading for an hour, Tang Huai decided to go out to stretch her legs and give her eyes a break.
Stepping out of her home, she followed the path leading from her doorway, walking straight ahead.
Taking a stroll was nice, especially today with the sun out, she didn't feel cold.
Liao Xiaoxiao's place wasn't far from Zhong Huiyan's.
As she passed by Zhong Huiyan's house, she saw Huiyan, who was heavily pregnant.
At first, Huiyan used to make buns to sell in town.
But as her belly grew bigger, she stopped and stayed home to nurture her pregnancy.
During her pregnancy, she suffered beatings from her husband, almost leading to a miscarriage. After managing to save the baby, Zhong Mumu insisted that she stop doing farm work, fearing for the child's safety.
When Tang Huai saw Huiyan emerge from her house with red-rimmed eyes, she could hear her husband's cursing coming from inside.
