Tang Moling was still unaware of the dangerous thoughts running through Mu Jingzhe’s mind. Half of his body was numb, and he was freezing.

“If you don’t come soon, I’m going to die of exposure and suffocation.”

The millstone was made of stone. Tang Moling, who had been on the millstone, had slept on it the entire night. Although it wasn’t winter yet, the mountains in late autumn were still very scary. After all, the temperature would drop during the night.

It was already cold outside, not to mention that he had been left freezing on a cold stone surface the entire night. Furthermore, the water vapor was heavy.

Not only was he cold, but he had also been holding it in. After all, he had entered last night and hadn’t had the chance to go to the bathroom ever since. He had been left stranded for a night. It was really due to his tenacious willpower that he hadn’t flooded the place and destroyed the millstone of Great Eastern Village.

It wasn’t like Tang Moling hadn’t thought of coming down himself, but his hands had still been tied and his movements had been restricted. Plus, he couldn’t get up, and the millstone was also high. If he fell, he wouldn’t know where he would land. The area below was small, and it was either made of cement or stone.

Tang Moling had been afraid that he would end up bleeding at the impact, so he could only endure this and wait for Mu Jingzhe to return. He’d waited and waited, but it was completely quiet outside. There was no longer any sound of activity, and Mu Jingzhe was nowhere to be seen.

Tang Moling hadn’t expected Mu Jingzhe to forget about him. As time had gone by, he’d gotten so angry that he’d even cursed. He had also shouted for help.

However, the entire village was asleep, and the mill was noisy. There was no point in screaming. Tang Moling had pitifully stayed on the cold stone mill the entire night and stayed up until dawn. He didn’t know how he’d survived and didn’t dare think about how he had done it.

Tang Moling glared at Mu Jingzhe with clenched teeth. Mu Jingzhe didn’t even dare look at Tang Moling. This time, she really felt guilty.

“I really didn’t do it on purpose. I’m really sorry.”

“You’re really…” Tang Moling felt that Mu Jingzhe was his nemesis. He had never suffered like this before.

It took a while for Tang Moling to recover. When he did, he felt a lump in his throat, and snot was about to flow out.

After freezing for an entire night, he’d inevitably caught a cold again. It was the second time he had caught a cold before winter.

Mu Jingzhe felt Tang Moling’s body temperature the moment she carried him down. Upon hearing him sniff, she felt even guiltier and quickly handed over the handkerchief in her pocket.

“It’s new. I haven’t used it many times.”

Tang Moling looked at the brand-new handkerchief, and his expression finally softened. He took it from her and wiped himself. “Wait for me,” he said before he left to settle some personal matters.

In the past, Mu Jingzhe would have left if she’d wanted to. She wouldn’t have waited there obediently. However, she had just left him stranded there the entire night, so she could only wait there obediently.

She had to properly apologize again. It was her fault that Tang Moling had caught a cold once more.

Speaking of catching a cold, Mu Jingzhe recalled the handkerchief she had given him. She had made it herself at home, along with a lot of them, but she used them very quickly.

She was used to throwing away tissues, but she was still not used to using handkerchiefs. She couldn’t accept reusing them repeatedly.

Speaking of that, Mu Jingzhe had no choice but to complain. Apart from the fact that she didn’t have a phone or an internet connection, what she found more inconvenient was the fact that there wasn’t any tissue paper or sanitary napkins.

There were all kinds of sanitary napkins in the modern era. Thin and thick, with a different texture, and various designs for one to choose from. However, there were none here!

It was true that there was no such thing. It was already very common overseas, but there were very few in China during this period. They might not even be able to buy some in the city, except in a big city like Ocean City.

The sanitary napkins that everyone used were the kind that were very wide and long. There were even people in Great Eastern Village who used the sanitary belts1 used in ancient times.

When Mu Jingzhe had transmigrated and used toilet paper during her first menstruation there, it had left a deep impression on her. Its poor absorption ability aside, it could leak at any time, and she was even afraid that it would leak while she was walking. It was simply torture. She didn’t even dare move when her period came, afraid that she would leak.

Besides, she feared that she would sneeze when she woke up, and the paper would erupt like a volcano. Afraid that the blood would leak out, she went to the bathroom more than ten times a day. Even in her dreams, she dreamed of getting sanitary napkins.

The last time she had gone to Ocean City, the first thing she had bought was sanitary pads. She’d bought quite a lot of them, and she hated that she couldn’t stock enough to last her ten years.

Apart from the issue of sanitary pads, there was also the issue of toilet paper. There were currently only large sheets of toilet paper, and there wasn’t any rolled toilet paper or boxed tissues. At first, Mu Jingzhe got used to using toilet paper in place of handkerchiefs. Although the paper was different, she couldn’t care less, as she needed to use it.

However, every time she took it out, it would attract everyone’s strange gazes. Li Zhaodi also told her not to use it, saying that toilet paper was only used by women during their periods.

Mu Jingzhe could only follow the flow and make many handkerchiefs. She would rotate between them and wash them after usage. She would also often make new ones for the children.

Fortunately, she could make them herself. Otherwise, it would have been useless no matter how many handkerchiefs she bought in bulk.

Due to the huge stimulation, now that she had earned some money, Mu Jingzhe wanted to invest in the production of paper and sanitary pads. This wasn’t just because there were no compet.i.tors in this market yet. She was also doing it for herself.

During this period of time, she had been trying to find out what she could about the relevant situation. She could directly import production equipment from overseas. She’d even found out that there was a paper manufacturing factory in the city that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

There was nothing wrong with the paper manufacturing factory itself. It was said that the finance department had taken the money and run away. All of a sudden, the capital chain was broken and couldn’t be maintained.

It wasn’t impossible for Mu Jingzhe to acquire it. Her next step was acquiring the paper manufacturing factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy and changing it to produce toilet paper and sanitary pads.

In the future, she was going to live a life without a lack of paper rolls and tissue. She would be able to use sanitary pads without worrying.

Mu Jingzhe’s mind was momentarily jumbled up by all these thoughts. By the time she came back to her senses, Tang Moling had already returned.

Now that he had solved his biggest problem, Tang Moling’s expression was no longer as dark, but it was still ugly. When he saw that she was still around, his expression became slightly better.

“I caught a cold because of you.” Tang Moling complained, the nasal tone of his voice intensifying.

Mu Jingzhe could tell as well. “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. I’ll definitely be responsible for your treatment fees.”

“Do I lack money?” Tang Moling’s face darkened. “Mu Jingzhe, you have to be responsible for me.”

Mu Jingzhe felt that his words were quite misleading. Responsible for what? “Then I’ll take you to the hospital for treatment?”

“That’s more like it.” Tang Moling turned his head. “Let’s go. My car is at the village entrance.”

Mu Jingzhe also knew how to drive, so he threw the car keys to her.

Mu Jingzhe quickly caught the keys. “I can take you to the hospital, but I have to go home and inform the kids.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

“Should I inform Mu Xue for you?” Wouldn’t it be better for Mu Xue to take care of him at a time like this?

“No.” Tang Moling immediately refused. How could he tell Mu Xue when he came out after lying to her last night?

“Why?” Mu Jingzhe guessed. “Are you two having a fight? If you’re having a fight, you’ll definitely make up with her if you call her now. After all, she’ll surely feel sorry for you now that you’re sick.”

Tang Moling saw that Mu Jingzhe was speaking very logically, as if she was thinking of him and Mu Xue. It was obvious that she hadn’t taken what he’d said last night to heart. She was still the same person who was always thinking about him and Mu Xue.
