Middle Of The Night

It had been 20 days since she arrived in the small town in Jiangnan. Shen Manting found a job as a home tutor and had been working for a week.

The student's home was very neat, and it wasn't far from the place she was renting. As a result, it was very convenient for her to get to work.

In addition to working as a home tutor, Shen Manting took a job nearby planting flowers and engaging in a little bit of handiwork. The middle-aged ladies that stayed around her loved her.

In the ninth month of her pregnancy, Shen Manting's morning sickness became worse. She couldn't bring herself to eat anything, so she started losing weight.

As a woman living alone and showing obvious signs of pregnancy, she was a very conspicuous individual. There were many busybodies who went up to her and asked questions. 

"Where is your husband?"

"Where did your child's father go?"

"No matter what happened, you should go home. Life is not easy for a pregnant woman."
