Chapter 262: 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."

While talking, he sat down at the dining table, picked up his chopsticks, and took a bite of the noodles the rural woman had made for him. Upon tasting the first bite, Xiao Yifei’s eyes lit up, "That’s right! Add cooking to the list! Your cooking is really delicious!"

The rural woman, upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, shyly lowered her head, "In my village, everyone says I cook well. I wanted to open a restaurant, but I had no money."

However, when she remembered what Xiao Yifei had said to her just now, she suddenly lifted her head and waved her hands at him continuously, "No need, no need! You don’t need to pity me, benefactor! You’ve already helped me so much, and I really have no way to repay you. You must not have it easy either, otherwise, why would you take public transport? You don’t need to pity me! I can manage on my own! Everyone has it tough!"

Xiao Yifei, upon hearing the rural woman’s words, was utterly exasperated. He took public transport because he didn’t want to be too ostentatious. After all, he had over five million in savings in his account—not very wealthy, but not bad either.

"Who has it easy? I’m not as poor as you think! Enough talk already. I can’t have nobody cleaning up this place. Here’s the deal, I’ll pay you five thousand a month to take care of the house and cook. If you’re willing, then agree; if not, then leave. I’m not sympathizing with you!"

He said to the rural woman, frowning.

"Are you really saying the truth, benefactor? Not short of money? And truly not pitying me?"

The rural woman looked at Xiao Yifei with a pathetic gaze and whispered.

"Like it or take a hike! Look at yourself, over forty and still behaving like this!"

Xiao Yifei said to the rural woman, angrily.

"Thank you for taking me in! Thank you for taking me in! But I don’t need that much salary. Five thousand is too much. You’ve already helped me so much, I can’t take that much money. Two thousand is enough for me!"

The country woman, upon hearing Xiao Yifei say she was over forty, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn’t speak. Instead, she was deeply moved that Xiao Yifei had taken her in as a housekeeper. She knew this was a job Xiao Yifei offered her because he saw her dire situation. She couldn’t accept so much money!

Xiao Yifei frowned, looking at the country woman with some irritation. How could there be such honest people in the world who didn’t want more money when offered?

"Alright, alright! If you don’t want it, you don’t want it. There are still people like you who refuse money when it’s given to you!"

Xiao Yifei, with a furrowed brow, spoke curiously to the country woman, then he lowered his head and started slurping the bowl of noodle soup she had made for him with gusto.

"But I have to say, your cooking really is good!"

Xiao Yifei, while slurping the noodles, looked up and gave the country woman ample affirmation.

Seeing Xiao Yifei eat with such delight, a happy smile spread across the country woman’s dark face. "I’m glad you like it! I was afraid you wouldn’t like the meals I cook!"

The country woman, somewhat nervously rubbing her hands on her clothes, said to Xiao Yifei cautiously, "It’s not that I don’t like money, but you’ve helped me so much, I must show my gratitude! I really don’t want to take your money!"

The sincere words from the country woman eventually eased Xiao Yifei’s furrowed brow. He looked at her grimy appearance and shook his head, then continued, "Alright, go take a shower! Look at how dirty you are. Even if you’re older, you should still care about being clean!"

The words from Xiao Yifei left the country woman slightly startled. She stood motionless, staring straight at Xiao Yifei, somewhat at a loss.

"What’s wrong? Go take a shower! The bathroom has new bath supplies; just use those. Is there anything else you don’t understand?"

Xiao Yifei lifted his head to look at the country woman still standing there dazed and couldn’t help but urge her. But when he saw that she continued to stand there, hesitant and unsure, his eyebrows furrowed again, "Go on! With how you look and your age, I’m not going to be interested in you! What, are you afraid I’ll take advantage of you?"

At Xiao Yifei’s words, the country woman suddenly bowed her head, her face turning red.

"Oh!"

She replied quietly in a low voice, then quietly, with her head bowed, edged her way towards the bathroom.

Watching the country woman’s demeanor, Xiao Yifei shook his head and then once again lowered his head and continued eating his noodles.

However, a good while after the country woman had entered the bathroom, she came back with her head still low, speaking to Xiao Yifei with much restraint, "Um... Sir, how do I use your family’s bathhouse? I... I don’t know how to use it!"
