"Longer?"
"Yes, her confinement is forty-five days."
"What?!" Aunt Zhou was shocked. "That's… Back in our day, we had to take care of the baby right after giving birth. There was no such thing as a confinement period. If someone managed to rest for ten days, they were considered lucky. Now it's forty-five days?!"
Li Fang smiled and said, "Times were different back then. Life is better now, so things have changed. Besides, Aunt Zhao is very good to her daughter-in-law. She wants Ming Mei to recover properly during her confinement, which is the right thing to do."
Aunt Zhou didn't say anything else, just muttered an "Oh" and turned to go home.
Although she went home, a competitive feeling started brewing in her heart. There were three pregnant women in the compound, and everyone had been paying attention. Li Fang had her mother taking care of her, ensuring she ate well, and her little girl had grown into a chubby baby. Ming Mei was having a long confinement period.
