Chapter 269: Chapter 262: Obedient Child
Can’t she have a bit of personal space? Tang Yuxin feels crushed under the weight of academic stress, barely managing to cope. Yet they all seemed okay, and their days were filled with nothing but study, study, and more study. As if they didn’t need to care about other aspects of life, but studying could never fall behind.
No wonder, she had achieved such great results this year, her zeal still burning. She wanted to strike while the iron was hot and further solidify her current achievements.
When the holidays are over, studying at home will be the same thing.
Tang Yuxin still has to go back to Tang Village. Sisi’s grades have dropped a bit recently, and she needs to tutor her. Of course, she also intends to take advantage of the holiday to dig some herbs in the mountain.
As she squinted her eyes and looked at the girl in front of her, who was evidently growing taller and chubbier, her eyes revealed an odd hostility.
This girl had consumed all of her precious stored medicine. Furthermore, there was that woman, Ren Li, who broke her wine and ruined her medicine. Every time Tang thought about those incidents, she felt terribly annoyed.
Lin Yile touched her face.
Wait, was there something on her face?
Lin Yidong was completely ignorant and innocent. Even if Tang Yuxin was furious, she couldn’t vent it on him.
In fact, Lin Yile didn’t really want to go back home.
“Um...” She was about to say something.
But Tang Yuxin had turned around and glared at her.
“What’s up?”
Was she in a bad mood now?
Lin Yile, biting her fingernails, was almost in tears. Why was Tang Yuxin so fierce? Actually, she just... she just...
Wanted to follow her back to Tang Village. This way, she could study with Tang Yuxin every day. She could technically study alone, but she felt uneasy. With Tang Yuxin around, she felt secure and comfortable.
But with Tang Yuxin’s current demeanor, she didn’t dare utter a single word. It seemed like Tang Yuxin would twist her head off if she said another word, and that scared her.
“I’m bleeding...”
Mother Lin was stunned for a moment, then she held her daughter and burst into tears.
She was bleeding, bleeding? Her daughter’s menstruation had finally arrived. Mother Lin had waited so many years for this moment, feeding her all kinds of medication, consulting countless doctors. But the doctors had always said that Lin Yile just hadn’t reached puberty yet. Mother Lin had always been worried, always waiting; what if her daughter never got her period and couldnt bear children in the future?
Had the moment finally arrived at seventeen? Most girls would have their first period at eleven or twelve, but Lele had just gotten hers at seventeen.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s okay,” Mother Lin wiped her tears, and found some sanitary towels for her daughter.
It seemed that Lin Yile also understood what was happening. She blushed as she cleaned herself up. When she came out and saw her mother’s smiling face, she felt very awkward.
She knew that all girls go through this, but she never had. She didn’t find it strange, however, as she might not have given it much thought, or she may not have fully comprehended it.
For women, not having a period means potentially not being able to bear a child.
Thankfully, it started for her. Thankfully, she was normal.
Lin Yile took the cup again and drank the rest of the medicinal tea she had not finished earlier.
“Hold on,” Mother Lin took the cup of herbal tea from her daughter, stopping her from drinking the rest.
“Mum, why can’t I drink it? Yuxin said that I must drink it every day without missing a day.”
Lin Yile was not pleased. Now she followed Tang Yuxin’s words religiously. If Tang Yuxin said the sky was round, then it was round; if the earth was square, then it was square. If Tang Yuxin said to drink, then she must drink it. Daily, without intermission.
Lin Yile grabbed the cup of medicinal tea from Mother Lin and drank it all before her mum could stop her.
After drinking, Lin Yile had a satisfied smile on her face, like she had just completed an examination. She felt contented. Of course, her stomach had only hurt for a while, and then the pain subsided.
Mother Lin had no choice but to explain to Lin Yile what she needed to pay attention to during her menstruation, such as maintaining hygiene, not bathing, not getting cold or bathing, and avoiding spicy food.
She feared that if she didn’t pay attention, the period would not come next month.
When Lin Yile was asleep, Mother Lin took out another packet of medicine from Lin Yile’s schoolbag and secretly kept it in her pocket.
