Everyone actually knew about the affair between Lei Guanghui and Widow Li from the neighbouring village, but they more or less kept their faces because of his identity as a cadre.
But Lei Bo just wouldn't listen to reason. Widow Wu was a widow, but she wasn't someone to be trifled with.
How many rural women can't talk back?
Widows in particular, how many men have designs on them, if they weren't tough they'd cry a lot.
Lei Bo almost fainted from anger at what Wu's wife had said.
He was so angry that his face turned black and blue, 'Do you have the guts to say that again?'
'What are you doing, don't bully the widow and orphan, it wasn't you who started it, everyone heard you,'
Seeing that Lei Bo had rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit someone, Yang Yongxiang hurriedly tried to persuade him.
'Yes, you can say whatever you like and joke around, but if you start a fight, that's your problem.'
'Exactly, it's not easy for Cai Feng!'
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, the crowd shielded Widow Wu behind them and tried to persuade Lei Bo one after the other.
After all, there were many people, and Lei Bo took a deep breath to hold back his anger. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
It was all the fault of that good-for-nothing father of his, and now he couldn't hold his head up. He had to go back and have a good talk with Lei Guanghui!
Over here, Gu Chen's car had already pulled up at the door. He got out and helped Ji Pianran open the car door, and then he went to the back seat to carry the things they had bought.
Gu Chen had bought a lot of things, filling up half the car.
Seeing him carrying so many bags, Ji Bianran immediately went over to him, reaching out to take the things from Gu Chen's hands and offer to help.
Gu Chen didn't want his wife to work, and he pulled his arm back.
'Don't get involved, I'll do it. You go inside and rest.'
Ji Bianran had just recovered from a serious illness, and he needed to rest properly.
There was no way he could start working before even entering the door.
'No, there's too much. I'll help you,' Ji Pianran insisted.
There were so many things, and Gu Chen would have to carry the bag at least four or five times, which was too much trouble.
While she was talking, Ji Pianran reached out to take the bag from Gu Chen's hands. Gu Chen still didn't want her to do any work.
He pulled back, 'It's fine, I really can do it.'
Ji Pianran had only felt hot, but now she and Gu Chen were both struggling to carry the bag of groceries, and as she exerted herself,
she suddenly felt a warm flow coming from her lower abdomen.
The whole person suddenly froze in place.
Damn it!
Why is my period coming at this time?
Ji Pianran had always suffered from coldness in the lower abdomen, especially after giving birth, when she used cold water during the postpartum period. Since then, it had always hurt like hell, and it had been delayed.
Normally, it should be a week later.
Why did it suddenly come today?
She didn't have time to think about it. With a blink of her eyes and a flustered face, she said, 'I, I'll go in first.'
Before she could finish speaking, another hot flow followed.
Ji Pianran was completely disoriented.
She was now completely afraid to move, and she was really worried that if she moved again, she would soil her pants.
The whole person seemed to have been petrified, and she didn't even dare to withdraw her still-stretched arm.
'What's wrong?'
Gu Chen was concerned, sensing that something was wrong with Ji Pianran.
'I'll go in first.'
Ji Pianran said, and then she tried to walk towards the house, but she was afraid that Gu Chen would see that she had soiled her trousers, so she walked with a very small float, as if she were shuffling, moving forward one step at a time, looking awkward and difficult.
Gu Chen watched her awkward movements, and his only reaction was that Ji Pianran had not recovered completely from her illness.
Something must be wrong!
He took three steps at once and rushed up, supporting Ji Pianran with one hand and frowning.
'Let's go back to the hospital!'
Ji Pianran; '???
Looking at the tension in Gu Chen's eyes, Ji Pianran finally reacted, and Gu Chen couldn't possibly think that there was something wrong with her body, could he?
She pursed her lips, and her pair of watery eyes looked over at Gu Chen. She said a little embarrassed, 'I, I'm fine.'
How could she be fine?
Could she walk like that if she was fine?
She must be uncomfortable somewhere!
'It's fine, my dear. Listen to me, if you're not feeling well, let's go to the hospital. Don't worry about the money, you're more important than money!'
Ji Pianran looked at Gu Chen's determined face and knew that if she didn't explain, she would never be able to go inside.
If she delayed any longer, she would really soil her pants!
She swallowed, embarrassed, and whispered, 'I, I'm having that.'
Although she was already a mother, she was still a little embarrassed to say the words "menstruation" in front of Gu Chen.
Don't feel embarrassed, it's still the year 2000.
People in the city aren't open-minded, let alone the villagers, and even a little bit of closeness and a few words can lead to gossip.
This kind of thing is like a man telling his wife that he has a wet dream.
It's really inexplicably shameful!
Seeing her face, which had just been normal temperature, turn red again, he instantly understood.
His wife is menstruating!
Gu Chen touched his head and suddenly understood.
No wonder she was walking so awkwardly, she was afraid of getting it on her pants and being embarrassed.
Thinking about it, he bent down and reached out to pick up Ji Pianran.
Ji Pianran was startled as her body suddenly became weightless.
Her eyes widened, her pretty eyes full of shock and disbelief.
Even her body couldn't help but stiffen.
She had to go first so that he wouldn't see her, but now that he had picked her up, she was afraid that if she got any more blood on Gu Chen, she would be so embarrassed!
'You, you put me down, you'll get me dirty,' Ji Pianran said, gritting her teeth.
Her voice trembled with nervousness, like that of a panicked little moose.
Gu Chen rolled his throat and spoke firmly.
'Don't worry, you're my wife!'
Why would he care about that?
Who doesn't get their period?
His voice carried an inexplicable sense of belonging.
It made Ji Pianran unconsciously quiet down, and she couldn't help but reach out and embrace Gu Chen's neck with her hands. Her head rested firmly against Gu Chen's chest.
Gu Chen's clothes were not thick, but they were after all two pieces.
She didn't hear any strong heartbeat.
But that infinite sense of security was like kneading it into the blood, and it flowed into her chest cavity in an instant.
Ji Pianran snuggled into Gu Chen's arms. The faint fragrance peculiar to her body flowed along the collar of the soft white sweater and flooded into Gu Chen's nostrils.
Gu Chen's lips were parched and his tongue was dry. He looked down at her.
Their gazes met in her beautiful eyes, the light in them fine and delicate, like a star that had been crushed by someone's hands.
Her face, flushed with red, was tinged with shyness.
Because she looked up at him, her pretty rosy lips were slightly open.
The scene was so beautiful that it almost made one's heart stop.
Gu Chen pursed her lips and suppressed her impulse, 'Aren't you in the middle of the month? Is this, is it early?'
Ji Pianran nodded with difficulty, 'Who knows, let's go to my room first.'
In this situation, the only thing to do was to go back to the room and talk about it.
Gu Chen nodded and walked towards the house with Ji Pianran in her arms.
