Chapter 262 I Didn’t Pity You
While speaking, the rural woman immediately stood up and was about to pack her things to leave, "Benefactor, I used the towel you gave me to wipe my head just now, then I noticed that the floor and the house were a bit messy, so I cleaned up for you, please don’t disdain me for being dirty, I’ve already washed the towel clean! I rinsed it three or four times, it’s hanging in the kitchen!"
The rural woman hurriedly picked up her neatly packed bundle from the corner, ready to leave. Xiao Yifei didn’t just save her life but also helped her so much, she didn’t want to make Sun Li angry.
Seeing the rural woman’s reaction, Xiao Yifei frowned and finally spoke, "I didn’t mean to blame you at all, I was just a bit curious how you changed your clothes so quickly, and you seemed to have lost quite a bit of weight!"
Xiao Yifei titled his head, looking at the rural woman. Although she no longer wore the baggy red-on-green outfit, the clothes she changed into were still very plain. The only difference was that these clothes were dry, which puzzled Sun Li. The woman who just a moment ago looked somewhat bloated, now appeared much slimmer, and her hands, after being washed clean, revealed fair skin that was far from the dirtiness of before.
Clumsily holding her bags, big and small, the rural woman stood at the doorway, looking foolishly at Xiao Yifei. Then she lowered her head and said in a small voice, "That, I was afraid someone would steal my last bit of travel money, so I wore two layers of clothes today and hid the last of my money inside the layer underneath. I took off my clothes just now because I was afraid my wet outfit would dirty your house, so I put them aside."
The rural woman extended her hand, pointing to a neatly folded set of clothes by the doorway, and said to Xiao Yifei with a full sense of inferiority.
"Sigh!"
Seeing the rural woman like this, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but let out a helpless sigh, then he said to her, "Look at you, you’re a clean person once you wash your hands, why do you have to make yourself look so dirty? Alright, alright, I’ve heard about your situation, and I do feel sorry for you. Going back to the countryside now is definitely not suitable. The old folks at home need to be taken care of and must see a doctor, and without money, that won’t do. So, how about this, I saw that you’re quite hard-working, stay and be my housekeeper. This house is so big and I live here alone, I’m too lazy to clean it myself."
