Mu Qiancheng knew she loved cleanliness, so after their marriage was decided, he specially built a bathroom, inside which he placed a stove, with hot water available at all times.
Jiang Xue entered the bathroom, originally to take a bath. But for some reason, Mu Qiancheng's words flashed through her mind. So, in the end, she didn't bathe but instead wiped her body with a warm towel.
After wiping her body and changing her clothes, Jiang Xue felt extremely comfortable.
She opened the bathroom door and walked out. It was just at this moment that she was seen by Bai Yuhua, who had just returned from the market; thus, she asked, "Xue'er, did you take a bath?"
Jiang Xue nodded. Unexpectedly, Bai Yuhua panicked and said, "Xue'er, how could you take a bath? You are currently in the postpartum period. Bathing at this time can easily make you sick and is also bad for your body. In the future, you'll suffer greatly in your old age."
Hearing Bai Yuhua's words, Jiang Xue felt warm inside and smiled slightly, saying, "Mom, I know. I felt uncomfortable, so I just wiped myself, didn't use water to wash."
Mu Qiancheng, coming out of the room holding the child, was stunned when he heard Jiang Xue speaking so gently to his mother, and he stared dazedly at Jiang Xue standing at the bathroom door.
Is this still Jiang Xue? Why has she changed from what he remembered? In the past, if his mother said something like this to her, Jiang Xue would certainly argue fiercely.
This was exactly why he hurried out of the room—he was afraid that his mother and wife would start fighting. But unexpectedly, there was no argument, and Jiang Xue could speak so calmly, which he hadn't anticipated.
"Didn't use water to wash?" Bai Yuhua glanced at Jiang Xue, seeing that she indeed hadn't used water, only then did she relax and said, "That's good. When I have time, I'll sit down and talk to you about the things to pay attention to during the postpartum period."
"Okay, thank you, Mom!" Jiang Xue thanked Bai Yuhua, then planned to return to her room. Unexpectedly, Bai Yuhua called her again, "Wait a moment!"
"Mom, is there anything else?" Jiang Xue stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Bai Yuhua. She saw Bai Yuhua take out a somewhat rustic-looking hat from the bag placed on the ground.
"This is for you; wear it when you leave the room to avoid catching a draft."
Listening to Bai Yuhua's words and looking at the hat handed to her, Jiang Xue was stunned. Honestly, this earth-yellow hat in front of her didn't look very good—extremely outdated.
If it were herself before she was reborn, she definitely wouldn't want it and would even scold Bai Yuhua. But now, looking at the hat, she didn't know why, but she suddenly wanted to cry.
She remembered in her previous life, she ran away after giving birth, didn't do any postpartum care, didn't even wear a headscarf, let alone a hat. This led to her subsequent years of having a headache whenever the wind blew.
Later, when she went to see the doctor, she found out it was because during the postpartum period, she hadn't worn a hat and caught a draft.
"What's wrong, don't you like it?" Bai Yuhua became nervous seeing Jiang Xue stand motionless. She naturally knew this hat wasn't very nice and might not suit a young person like Jiang Xue.
But this hat is really warm and windproof, much better than those flashy-looking hats, which is why she bought it.
She had thought that Jiang Xue might not like it but still wanted her to wear something warm, as it's good for her body.
But now, seeing Jiang Xue silent and not taking the hat, she was apprehensive.
