"Dear daughter-in-law, here are some sesame candy and crisp candy, specialties from Tang City. I brought back quite a bit this time; besides keeping some for ourselves, I'll take two pounds for your parents.
There are still four pounds left. Can I send them back to my parents? Tang Zhicheng returned from a trip and brought back a package of goodies.
Sure, the weather is cold now, so they won't spoil on the way. But just sending these isn't enough; I'll buy some Beijing snacks to send along as well. Ye Fangfei surely wouldn't mind.
Tang Zhicheng knew that his daughter-in-law was dutiful, so she definitely wouldn't oppose it. However, hearing her mention buying something extra for his own parents made him happy.
His daughter-in-law was so good to his parents; he should treat her family even better. With that thought in mind, Tang Zhicheng recalled that he had brought back several boxes of fine wine from Tang City, which was well-known in the He Province.
I'll bring back two bottles for Dad tomorrow, he said.
Ye Fangfei knew that every time Tang Zhicheng went out, he would bring back local specialties to sell at a markup. This time, aside from the sesame candy and crisp candy, it was probably the wine.
But just bringing something for her dad wasn't enough. They were going back to their hometown for the New Year, and they needed to prepare things there too.
Let's get two more bottles; after all, we're going back home for the New Year, right? We can take two bottles for Dad to try then, Ye Fangfei suggested.
Tang Zhicheng felt a wave of warmth in his heart; his daughter-in-law was truly wonderful. He hadn't even thought about bringing two bottles of wine for his dad during the New Year celebrations, but she had already considered it. No wonder his parents always said she was filial.
This time, he must remember to mention this to his parents in his letter home. Tang Zhicheng had already learned how to maintain face in front of his parents when it came to his daughter-in-law.
The days continued on in such a simple manner. Then came the first heavy snowfall, and something significant happened in the courtyard.
It was still about the Gao family. Gao Xiangchun had gone to the countryside last month.
The day after Gao Xiangchun left, Gao Huaihua returned home. At that time, Gao Dazhu had given her a beating; however, since she was his own daughter, that incident quickly passed.
Yet Ye Fangfei remembered what Tang Zhicheng had said about having seen Gao Huaihua with some delinquents before. She felt that trouble would eventually come from this Gao Huaihua.
And sure enough, just over a month later, trouble did arise."
It all started one evening during dinner when Gao Huaihua suddenly began to gag. At first, the family didn’t think much of it, but Gao Huaihua couldn’t touch any meat. The mere smell made her sick.
Coincidentally, that day, Li Xiaomei had cooked stir-fried cabbage with oil residue, a dish that Gao Huaihua usually fought with Gao Songbai over. But today, she not only refused to eat it; she even pushed the plate far away, fearing the smell would make her nauseous.
Li Xiaomei, being experienced, quickly realized something shocking. Gao Huaihua hadn’t had her period for two months. Although Gao Huaihua never specifically mentioned her menstrual cycle to Li Xiaomei, they lived together, and Li Xiaomei could always sense certain things. During those few days each month, she would make an effort to handle the laundry and other chores involving cold water herself.
Now, with two months having passed without a period and Gao Huaihua unable to tolerate the smell of meat, Li Xiaomei increasingly suspected that her daughter might be pregnant. This suspicion filled her with both shock and anger.
After enduring the meal in silence, Li Xiaomei could no longer hold back. She pulled Gao Huaihua into a room and whispered urgently, “Huaihua, have you... have you slept with someone?”
Gao Huaihua was taken aback; she hadn’t expected her mother to guess it so quickly.
