Chapter 91: You Are Really Very Kind

  "Xiao Xue, there's no water in the bucket, go fetch two more." Tang Mu instructed. Although Xiao Long Nu's astonishing display of chopping firewood had left her quite surprised, she thought carefully and felt that Xiao Long Nu couldn't possibly be so capable, thus guessing that Tang Xiao Sheng must have helped her chop the wood. To get to the bottom of it, Tang Mu then told Xiao Long Nu to go fetch water again.

  "Alright, Aunt." Little Dragon Girl found two iron buckets behind the kitchen door, picked one up in each hand, and quickly left the kitchen to head to the well in the courtyard, where she began drawing water.

  After filling two iron buckets with water, Little Dragon Maiden grasped the handles of the buckets and was about to lift them up, only to find that she couldn't budge them at all.

  An iron bucket filled with water weighs at least fifty kilograms, and two of them weigh one hundred kilograms. For an ordinary woman to lift it up by hand is indeed not easy.

  If it were just a matter of physical strength, Little Dragon Girl wouldn't have been able to lift the iron bucket filled with water. Fortunately, she had internal energy. Internal energy is actually a kind of strange energy stored within the body, and once it's unleashed, its power will be much greater than that of an ordinary person's strength. If someone has a certain foundation in internal energy, they'll be able to accomplish heavy tasks with ease.

  Xiaolongnv slightly concentrated her mind, secretly operating the "Jade Maiden Heart Scripture" in her body. Her internal energy began to flow throughout her body, and after a moment, she grasped the iron ring with both hands again, lightly lifting it up, successfully lifting it off the ground. Then, stepping on the light footwork of the ancient tomb sect, she walked steadily towards the kitchen.

  Before long, Little Dragon Girl carried two iron buckets filled with water into the kitchen and poured the well water into the water tank.

  Tang's mother was stunned when she saw this scene. She couldn't believe that the delicate and weak-looking Little Dragon Girl had such incredible strength. Both iron buckets were filled with water, and it would be difficult for even a strong man to lift them, let alone a woman.

  "Aunt, the water has been fetched. Is there anything else to instruct?" Little Dragon Girl asked softly again. Although she had just carried two large buckets of water, she was not panting or flustered, as if she hadn't done anything at all.

  As for Xiaolongnu's performance, Tang Mother was at a loss, she had thought that girls from rich families like Xiaolongnu would be spoiled and couldn't do any hard work.

  Never thought that Little Dragon Maiden could chop firewood and carry water, and did it better than all the women, even better than men. Such a capable and beautiful woman is really rare to see.

  Tang's mother didn't know what was going on either, but she was also curious about what else Little Dragon Girl could do, so she continued to instruct her.

  After fetching water, Little Dragon Girl was responsible for burning firewood and then wiping the tables and chairs at home, busy until noon.

  After lunch, she left home with Tang's mother to pick vegetables and banana leaves in the field. After returning from the field, she was called to wash dishes before she had a chance to rest. After washing the dishes, she cooked dinner with Tang's mother again.

  After dinner, Little Dragon Girl was responsible for washing the bowls and chopsticks, then she went with Tang's mother to flush the pigpen. After finishing her work, Tang's mother asked her to peel peanuts, saying that they would be used to steam rice cakes tomorrow. She peeled five kilograms of peanuts alone until 10 o'clock at night.

  Eleven o'clock at night, in the house, on the bed.

  "Does it hurt, Long'er?" Tang Xiaosheng asked softly.

  "It hurts a bit." Little Dragon Girl's delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  "Am I using too much force?"

  "Not bad, just right."

  "If I use too much force, you remember to say something."

  "Uh-huh."

  Tang Xiaosheng held Xue'er's slender legs in his hands and gently massaged her calves. She had been working all day, probably exhausted, and even got cramps in her calf muscles while taking a bath just now.

  Tang Xiaosheng gently massaged the small, delicate legs of Little Dragon Girl with both hands and said: "Long'er, my mom has you do so many things, today is really tiring for you."

  Little Dragon Girl shook her head gently: "Not hard."

  Tang Xiaosheng sank a little and said with some embarrassment: "Long Er, I know my mom did this is indeed a bit excessive, hope you don't mind too much."

  Little Dragon Girl shook her head and said seriously: "It's nothing, I didn't mind."

  Tang Xiaosheng nodded in relief, knowing that Little Dragon Girl wouldn't lie and should be telling the truth. He was secretly glad that Little Dragon Girl was indeed very considerate of others' feelings. But just then, he suddenly heard Little Dragon Girl say: "But actually, I suddenly realized something today. Your mother isn't your biological mother, so why should I care?"

  Tang Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled: "Long Er, what do you mean by this?"

  Little Dragon Girl then explained: "You are an adopted son and not Tang Xiao Sheng. Tang Xiao Sheng's mother is naturally not your biological mother."

  It wasn't until then that Tang Xiaosheng finally reacted. Although Xiǎo Lóng Nǚ's soul had been transferred into Long Xiaoxue's body, she didn't have any feelings for Long Tianhao, so she didn't consider him her biological father. Guo Xiang was in a similar situation; although her soul had been transferred into Guo Yixiang's body, she also didn't consider Guo Yang her biological father. It was this logic that led Xiǎo Lóng Nǚ to believe Tang Xiaosheng didn't consider Tang Mu his biological mother either.

  They were just crossers, but Tang Xiaosheng was not, and his parents were both biological parents.

  At this point, Tang Xiaosheng realized the severity of the problem. Little Dragon Girl was treating his parents as outsiders. If Tang's father and mother found out, the consequences would be unthinkable. Looking further ahead, if he really married Little Dragon Girl in the future, she would still treat her own parents as outsiders and be unfilial to them.

  Tang Xiaosheng felt that this matter was not trivial and must be carefully discussed with Little Dragon Girl, so he said solemnly: "Long'er, although my parents are not my biological parents..."

  At this point, he felt very awkward, but continued to say, "However, they are after all Tang Xiaosheng's biological parents. The two elderly people only have Tang Xiaosheng as their son, if we don't treat them as our own parents, they will be lonely old people. I think we should still regard them as our biological parents and take good care of them, what do you think?"

  Little Dragon Girl pursed her lips, not speaking, but quietly gazing at Tang Xiaosheng. After a while, she softly said: "Tang Xiaosheng, I didn't expect you to be so kind, treating other people's parents with such goodness."

  Tang Xiaosheng: "......"

  Those are my real parents!

  To thoroughly change Xiaolongnü's way of thinking, he continued to explain patiently: "Long'er, you also saw that Tang Xiaosheng's parents lived a very difficult life. If we don't treat them well, they will be left with no one to rely on and their later years will be bleak and pitiful! Therefore, I have decided to treat them as my own parents. Long'er, do you agree?"

  Xiao Long Nu slightly stunned, nodded, and softly said again: "Guo Er, you are really very kind."
