At noon the next day, Lin Siyao returned to Yuelai Inn as instructed.
Su Shuiche was sitting in front of the window waiting for him.
Seeing him come back unscathed, she happily greeted him, "You're back?"
"En." Lin Siyao nodded with a smile in his eyes.
Her greeting made him involuntarily happy.
"The wood has been brought to Flower Town."
Lin Siyao took the wet towel from her and wiped off the dust on his face and hands. He changed into a robe and pulled her to sit down. He told her the general process.
"Shuiche, hire a few more carpenters to work at the same time." In the end, he suddenly suggested.
Su Shuiche was confused and blinked, "What's wrong?" She had never seen him so anxious before.
Lin Siyao lowered his eyelids, so she couldn't see his expression.
"Okay." Su Shuiche raised a gentle smile and held his big hand, "I'll always believe you."
Lin Siyao heard this and looked up. He focused on her for a long time before slowly nodding, "I won't deceive you."
Su Shuiche didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She thought he would explain something, but in the end … … was this … … a promise?
However, the sudden blush on her cheeks revealed her inner joy.
… …
Su Shuiche hid behind the gauze curtain and stared at her underwear for a long time. Oh … … God!
You're deceiving me, aren't you?
Yue Yue was thinking about it before, but it didn't come.
Just when she finally accepted the possibility that this body was not yet ready and almost forgot about this matter, the long-awaited period suddenly came.
She, who was unprepared, was caught off guard.
What should I do?
Su Shuiche laid on the bed and didn't dare to move.
She was afraid that if she moved, she would mess up the fine white cotton under her.
Fortunately, that day he had bought two bolts of fine white cotton for undergarments.
He tore off a section and cut it into a dozen strips of cloth about the width of an arm. After stacking them layer by layer, he spread them inside his pants, hoping that they wouldn't dirty the only two sets of clothes he had.
However, because of this, she didn't even dare to step out of her room.
At this time, she began to miss the cotton bag she used every month in the Su family.
The outer layer was also made of the same fine white cotton cloth, with a thick layer of cotton wool and a piece of absorbent paper inside.
Although it felt clumsy, at least it wouldn't leak into his underwear.
Su Shuiche thought to himself. At the same time, he rubbed his swollen abdomen with both hands, hoping that it wouldn't be too much.
Slowly, he fell into a deep sleep.
…
Lin Siyao went to Blossom Town early in the morning to supervise.
After hiring three new carpenters, along with the original Feng Laoliu, the four of them busied themselves in the house.
They had never seen wood of such a color.
They secretly guessed that it might have been bought from outside.
After all, they heard from a few villagers who were used to getting up early that these big logs were pulled by a four-mule cart in four trips.
How could they not know what kind of wood the wood shops in Fanluo City sell?!
Naturally, they didn't have big logs of this color.
Especially these seven big red sandalwood. In their opinion, it was even more robust and solid than the authentic red sandalwood.
With Lin Siyao's hearing, he could clearly hear what the four of them were whispering.
However, he wasn't in the mood to explain.
As long as it didn't affect the progress of the project, he could let them whisper if they liked.
Holding a willow branch in his hand, he walked around the house several times. Finally, he stopped next to the cherry tree in the backyard and drew a circle on the ground. Ignoring the strange expressions of the four carpenters, he coldly instructed, "Here, add a bench with a back."
The four of them looked at each other in dismay. Then, it was the older Feng Laoliu who spoke, "Young master wants to use this wood to build?" There were stone tables and benches in the yard, but if it was made of wood …
Lin Siyao glanced at them coldly. What he meant was, "If I tell you to do it, then do it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?!"
The four of them quickly lowered their heads and busied themselves with their work.
Heavens, where did this person come from?
He actually felt a lot of pressure with just a casual glance.
Forget it, forget it. I'll just bury myself in work.
I'll finish the work as soon as possible and go home to hug my wife.
Fortunately, the wages in this house weren't low.
If they could finish the work within ten days, they would be rewarded handsomely.
Therefore, it was always right to seize the time to work.
Lin Siyao didn't pay any more attention to them. He continued to stroll, occasionally stopping to think.
In the meantime, he instructed the four of them to add a bench of the same style next to the jujube tree in the front yard facing the river. He also added a group of plum blossom piles of different heights on the grass near the river bank.
It wasn't until now that the four of them were convinced that the young master in front of them, who was only in his early twenties, was someone who knew martial arts.
Otherwise, which farmer would think of making a group of plum blossom piles?
Moreover, it was made of such a strong and sturdy wood.
It couldn't be used as a decoration!
As a result, the four of them worked even faster and more seriously.
They did their best to use all their strength on this project.
… …
When Lin Siyao returned to the inn, Su Shuiche was still sleeping soundly on the bed with her clothes on.
He gently touched her forehead and didn't find anything strange.
Lin Siyao was relieved.
He glanced around the room. It didn't seem any different from when he left in the morning.
He frowned slightly and went downstairs to ask the shopkeeper about her lunch.
When he heard that she didn't ask anyone to send food upstairs or go downstairs to eat, his frown deepened.
He ordered a few light and hot dishes and had the waiter quickly deliver them to the room. Lin Siyao turned around and went upstairs again.
He kept guessing the reason why she didn't want to eat.
"Eh?
You're back?
Is it late? "Su Shuiche heard the sound and slowly opened her eyes.
She slept so soundly that she almost forgot about the pain in her stomach.
She saw Lin Siyao instructing the waiter to place the dishes on the table and bring in a bucket of hot water. Only then did she realize that the sky was already gray.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Siyao twisted a wet wipe and helped her gently wipe her flushed cheeks.
Su Shuiche heard this and her face turned red again.
Lin Siyao saw this and looked at her in confusion.
If her body temperature wasn't normal, he would have suspected that she had a fever.
"You didn't eat lunch again?" Lin Siyao helped her sit up and let her lean against the headboard.
He took a bowl of rice and took a few chopsticks of each dish. He sat beside her as if he was going to feed her.
"I … I'll do it myself." Su Shuiche wanted to take the bowl and chopsticks from his hands.
"Tell me what's wrong, or I'll feed you." Lin Siyao moved his hand and the bowl and chopsticks were already in his other hand.
He used his usual cold voice with some worry as he talked to her about the conditions.
Su Shuiche heard this and glared at him angrily.
She turned her head and ignored him.
Lin Siyao sighed helplessly, "Shuiche … is there something you can't tell me?
Or … I still don't have the right to listen … "
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Su Shuiche heard this and immediately turned her head. She didn't care about the difference between men and women and reached out to cover his mouth, trying to stop him from sighing sadly.
Lin Siyao took her hand and wrapped it in his palm. His deep black eyes stared at her without blinking.
"I … that … came." Su Shuiche couldn't resist his persistence and said in a mosquito-like voice.
Lin Siyao was confused when he heard this.
"What?" He saw that she lowered her head for a long time and didn't want to continue explaining, so he blurted out.
"My period!" Su Shuiche's face turned red and she couldn't help but shout.
She then realized that she seemed to have said it too loudly and hurriedly covered her mouth.
Lin Siyao was stunned for a long time before he understood what she meant.
His face couldn't help but turn red.
… …
"Shopkeeper's wife, are these enough?" Lin Siyao held a large bunch of white cotton in his hands and entered Su Shuiche's room.
"Oh, it should be … enough."
Su Shuiche, who was sitting at the head of the bed, carefully moved her body and took the white cotton from Lin Siyao's hands. She estimated that it should be enough to make four or five pieces.
That's right, Su Shuiche, Miss Su, was preparing to sew a few pieces of cotton for her period according to her memory.
She didn't want to lie in bed every day for the next few days without moving.
Moreover, even if she didn't move, it didn't mean that her period wouldn't leak into her underwear and outer clothes.
Instead of fighting like this, it was better to think of a good countermeasure.
In this place, although cotton wasn't a precious item, most people would leave behind a portion to sew cotton robes and quilts. The rest of the cotton would be sold to peddlers who came to buy it when it was white and fluffy.
The shopkeeper's wife must have given some to Su Shuiche from her own pocket.
Lin Siyao followed Su Shuiyong's instructions and picked out a thicker embroidery needle from her sewing bag that contained all kinds of needles and threads. He handed it to her, along with the fine white cotton cloth in the bag that had not been replaced.
Although he was curious, he didn't ask for details.
He guessed that it must have something to do with her period.
Thinking of this, Lin Siyao's face once again turned red.
When a woman's period came, it meant that she could have children.
Children … He was an orphan, the God of Slaughter Si Ling who couldn't see the light of day for the past twenty years. He was about to have a child of his own …
