The scorching summer was in full swing, with cicadas chirping incessantly.
It seemed like only yesterday when the sweltering months of July and August had arrived. The weather in early August was unbearably hot.
Ming Mei was now nearly four months pregnant, though not quite there yet. Recently, their courtyard had unexpectedly become unusually peaceful. Perhaps it was the intense heat that had sapped everyone's energy, leaving them with little enthusiasm for anything other than work.
Even a brief stroll outdoors would leave one drenched in sweat. This summer was exceptionally hot.
However, to say that nothing was happening in their courtyard would not be entirely accurate. The tranquility in their courtyard was unique compared to others.
Firstly, there were now three pregnant women in their courtyard. Li Fang and Ming Mei were both showing, with Li Fang being further along than Ming Mei, though she appeared less noticeably pregnant.
