Tan Rou told Zhuang Liu about her period. She did not expect Zhuang Liu to remember it because most men could not remember their partner's period. Many men would get angry when their wives asked them to buy sanitary products. No man should buy these things for women.
"Do my parents know?" Tan Rou asked, "If they still don't know, don't tell them. They must have been busy these two days. I don't want them to be distracted by my matters."
Zhuang Liu did not tell the Tao family. Even if he told them, it would be useless. Could they share Tan Rou's pain? Moreover, it was a good time for him to be alone with Tan Rou. He had to seize the opportunity and be a qualified husband.
Tan Rou sent a message to her mother, telling her that she had gone to Zhuang Liu's house and would not disturb her brother and sister-in-law.
