1528 Middle Of The Nigh (1/2)
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.”
Every time Shen Manting heard such words, she just smiled politely but did not reply.
It had been after another exhausting day. She returned to her little rental apartment. She took out a laptop, as usual, opened the Word document, and typed in it.
July 28, a clear day.
It was another day of home tutoring. From initially starting out as an English tutor for two households, I am now the tutor for all the subjects. My working hours have also increased from one to five hours.
Wang Xue's parents said they'll be increasing my pay by $10. I'm very happy. The remuneration isn't too bad. There aren't any troubles. The weather is good, and the town is kind.
There aren't any problems at all.
Today, I vomited more than I did yesterday. I couldn't stomach my breakfast, and my face was pale. It's a good thing that cosmetics exist. It managed to give me a better complexion and make me look a little healthier.
The baby is getting bigger. I have no idea if it's a boy or a girl.
