The abandoned woman is also carefree

  Xu Lengyu smiled and nodded in approval, then ignored Wu Chenggang standing there and continued walking forward. This kind of person, if it weren't for Xu Lengyu, he wouldn't even be willing to take a glance at him.

  Xue Lengyu followed behind Shu Li, and couldn't help but think in her heart that it was time to use Shu Li's connections to bring herself some benefits. After all, having power but not using it is like a warranty that expires if you don't use it.

  It's better to think about it, after all, it's still given up, the benefits are too many, and if things go well in the future, there will be nothing. But if you get annoyed, it won't work. It's still better to take matters into your own hands, have enough food and clothing, and come more solidly.

  For a while, both of them were lost in their own thoughts and didn't speak. Before long, they arrived at the Xue family's courtyard.

  Shu Li furrowed his brow: "Leng Yu, I'll have someone come and repair this place."

  Xue's house is a bit too simple.

  "It's okay, it's okay." Xue Lengyu hastily said.

  "What's wrong?" Seeing Xue Lengyu bluntly refuse his kindness without even thinking about it, he was unexpectedly displeased in his heart: "Unwilling to accept my favor?"

  Xue Lengyu smiled and said, "Even if I'm not willing to accept your feelings, the little things you've done for me have already added up. This matter is within my capabilities, there's no need to trouble you. If you were to take care of every aspect of my life too well, I'm afraid I would become lazier and lazier each day, not wanting to do anything and relying on you for everything."

  "What's wrong with that?" Shu Lidao said. Although he hadn't become arrogant enough to consider Xue Lengyu as his own woman, at least she was the woman in his heart, and taking care of everything for her was also his duty.

  If I let my woman struggle and work hard for life again, that would be unbearable. Besides, with my current abilities, I still have a way to go.

  "It's no big deal for you, but it's different for me." Xue Lengyu joked: "If I eat your food, use your things, and live in your place, what if later on you do something that makes me unhappy? Don't I have any grounds to argue with you? Haven't you heard the saying 'eat from someone's mouth, soft; take from someone's hand, short'?"

  Looking at Xue Lengyu, although joking, it was an uncompromising attitude. Shuli also knew that emotions couldn't be rushed, so he said: "So, I'll find someone to repair the house for you, and you just pay the labor costs."

  "It's really not necessary." Xue Lengyu said: "My father is a carpenter, I think he must know people in this area, and when the time comes, I will let him contact them. I know that following Wang Ye is not easy for you either, and you can't always be troubled by me, I'm not a flower born in a greenhouse, I don't know anything. Don't worry about things within my power."

  "Alright then, if there's something beyond your power, be sure to tell me."

  Xue Lengyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. I won't die just to save face. Knowing someone like you who is a big backer, if something happens and I don't look for you, wouldn't that be stupid?"

  As they chatted, they pushed open the wooden gate of the Xue family home and found Mrs. Xue chopping firewood in the courtyard. An elderly woman of her age was holding an axe with a slight tremble, in front of her lay a heap of cylindrical firewood. Sweat dripped from Mrs. Xue's forehead.

  Hearing the door being pushed open, Mrs. Xue turned around and saw Shu Li and Xue Lengyu, and was stunned for a moment.

  Xue Lengyu hastily ran forward: "Mother, what are you doing?"

  Xue Mu smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Leng Yu, why have you come back again?"

  Xue Lengyu stepped forward and took the axe from Xue Mu's hand. The axe was quite heavy, and Xue Lengyu wasn't prepared, so his hand sank down a bit before he quickly put it down.

  "Mother, why didn't you call Brother Zhang from next door to help with this?" Xue Lengyu scolded: "At your age, how can you still do such strenuous work."

  Xue's mother said, "Last night, your father had a fever, and Xiao Zhang took care of him all night without sleeping much. I just persuaded him to go back to sleep. Such a small matter, why bother others? At my age, I'm not yet unable to move."

  Zhan Feng Song is just a kind-hearted person who came to help, can't treat him like a servant.

  "Is Father's injury all right?" Xue Lengyu hastily asked.

  "It's much better." Mrs. Xue said: "The fever has gone down this morning, and he slept soundly. Xiao Zhan just left."

  Xue Lengyu felt relieved, seeing Xue Mu's eyes slightly red, knowing that she must not have slept well either. He couldn't help but say: "Mother, you should rest too. I'm back now and won't leave again. Household matters, I'll take care of them."

  Xue's mother exclaimed: "Why did you come back without leaving? Did you make a mistake in the Wang Mansion?"

  "No." Xue Lengyu looked at Xue Mu's cautious expression, and his heart felt a pang of sadness. What kind of life must one lead to suppress their entire nature?

  But all the grievances he suffered could only be swallowed silently, and if Xue's mother knew about it, she would not only feel heartbroken but also be unable to help in any way.

  "Then..." Xue's mother still felt that things were not so simple, looking at Shu Li: "Shu gentleman..."

  Shu Li Wenhe smiled and said, "Aunt Xue, Leng Yu didn't do anything wrong. She just said that the mansion was too dull, so I sent her back. Besides, Uncle Xue is injured now, and someone needs to take care of him at home."

  Knowing Xue Lengyu's emphasis on his parents, Shu Li was still in a high position, but in front of Madam Xue, he had to put down his pride and be kind.

  "That's good." Xue Mu felt relieved and said, "Leng Yu, if you can't get used to the Wang Fu, it's better to come back. With you in the Wang Fu, my heart is also not at ease, always worried and anxious every day."

  Xue Lengyu smiled: "Mother, don't worry all day. I'm already so big, what can't I handle? Mother, go to sleep quickly."

  "That's good." Xue Mu hesitated for a moment, after all, she was old and her body was weak, so she said: "Then I'll go take a nap. Where's your father? Pay attention to him. Call me at noon to cook lunch."

  "Alright, alright, I know. You can rest assured and go to sleep." Xue Lengyu smiled and pushed her mother towards the room, watching as the door closed before letting out a sigh of relief.

  Xu's mother entered the room and fell silent for a moment before saying, "You treated them with utmost sincerity."

  Xue Lengyu smiled: "If someone gives me a little, I give them three times as much. Since two people who were originally unrelated to me have been treating me with kindness for so many years, if I didn't repay them, how could my conscience be at peace?"

  Shu Li looked at Xue Leng Yu, this collision in the Murong manor was truly a collision that made one forget all previous matters, and reversed one's temperament. It was really somewhat unbelievable.

  Xue Lengyu saw Shu Li looking at herself and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong? Is there still something going on in the mansion? If there is, you can leave quickly. As for family matters, I can handle them myself."

  "Are you really going to be okay?"

  "You're also so nagging." Xue Lengyu said: "Hurry back. Things that can't be done, I will find you myself."

  Shu Li ignored her and started rolling up his sleeves on his own. Having lived for twenty years, some people said he was cold-blooded and ruthless, while others said he was dull and rigid, but saying that he was overbearing and domineering was truly a first.

  Xue Lengyu was taken aback: "What are you going to do?"

  He didn't respond, but instead walked towards that pile of firewood, bent down and picked up the axe Xue Mu had dropped on the ground.

  Xue Lengyu's mouth opened wide: "No way, really......"

  Shu Li wants to help her chop wood? The man who is under one person and above ten thousand people in the Mu Wang Fu is chopping wood at their house? This can't be tolerated. If others find out and it spreads to the Mu Wang Fu, Shu Li's cool and handsome image that he has maintained for so long will be ruined in an instant, and the romantic dreams of many young girls will also be shattered.

  Shu Li said with a hint of disdain: "Are you saying this kind of physical labor is left for you to do?"

  Identity is identity, but in front of Xue Lengyu, he just wants to be a man. A man who can hold up his life, no matter big or small things.

  Xue Lengyu nodded and muttered: "If you don't mind, I won't either. But can you do it? Don't be too proud."

  In Xue Lengyu's mind, physical labor is a matter of course for men. Even if the man holds a high position and has great power, respecting women is a kind of demeanor. The more prestigious the man, the more he should have this demeanor.

  Of course, this idea is out of date in this era.
