Chapter 92 Silly Girl

  Late at night, house.

  Tang Fu and Tang Mu were both lying quietly on the bed, although it was already one o'clock in the morning, but neither of the two elderly people had any sleepiness.

  "Lao Tang, what's going on with this Long Xiaoxue?" After a long silence, Tang's mother suddenly asked from her bed.

  "What's wrong with Xiaoxue?"

  "This young lady is a rich family's daughter, looking delicate and tender, with skin as white as if she had been soaked in milk. How can she do chores so efficiently? Today she did the laundry, cooked, fetched water, and chopped firewood, all done with ease." Mother Tang said with puzzlement.

  Tang Fu said calmly: "This is called 'don't judge a person by appearance'."

  "Also, today I took her to the fields to work, and she worked for a whole afternoon without a single complaint or any sign of unhappiness on her face. She even worked very hard. I just can't understand how this girl can endure hardship so well?"

  Tang Fu explained: "I told you earlier, our son is very clever. If Long Xiaoxue wasn't good, how could he bring her back home?"

  Tang's mother let out a long sigh and said, "This Xiao Xue is indeed a good girl, she's pretty, capable, and in no way inferior to Hu Niang. It's just that her family has too much money..."

  "It's not her fault that her family has money." Mr. Tang interrupted.

  "You're right too." Tang's mother sank and asked: "Old Tang, was I a bit excessive to Xiaoxue today?"

  "What's the point of saying that? She just stepped into our home and you're making her do this and that. If Xiaoxue's parents knew how we're treating their daughter, they'd be worried to death!" Tang Bo said slowly, his tone serious and warning, "I'm telling you, old companion, don't worry unnecessarily. Let the kids handle their own affairs. Xiao Sheng is a clever child, he knows what he's doing."

  Tang's mother didn't say anything else, her eyebrows furrowed slightly as if she was deep in thought.

  The next morning, Little Dragon Girl got up early. She knew that her most important task now was to please Tang's mother, so she had to work harder and do more chores.

  "Aunt, is there anything I can help with?" After washing up, Xiaolongnv came to the kitchen and asked proactively.

  She thought Tang's mother would assign her a lot of work like yesterday, but unexpectedly heard Tang's mother say: "No need, there is no work today, Auntie can handle it by herself, you just wait for dinner!"

  As soon as she heard this, Little Dragon Girl's heart was immediately filled with anxiety. In her opinion, Tang Mother suddenly not letting her work was equivalent to not giving her a chance to show herself, which might mean that Tang Mother had completely given up on her.

  However, Little Dragon Girl didn't want to give up and thought she should take the initiative again. Even if Tang's mother wouldn't let her do chores, she would find something to do herself. She glanced around and saw that the water jar at home was almost empty, so she immediately went to the kitchen door, picked up two iron buckets, and prepared to go to the yard to fetch water.

  But unexpectedly, Tang's mother saw it and stopped her: "Xiaoxue, don't carry water, I'll do it myself." After that, Tang's mother took the iron bucket from Xiaolongnu's hand and went to the yard alone to fetch water.

  Xiao Long Nu was stunned for a moment, her fine eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She increasingly felt that Tang Mu must be looking down on her, otherwise he wouldn't let her do anything.

  Although the situation seemed not so good, in order to be with Tang Xiaosheng, Little Dragon Girl knew that she had to hold on no matter what, and she also followed him into the yard, planning to help Tang's mother fetch water.

  When she walked into the yard, she unexpectedly found that Tang's mother was standing still by the well, her right hand tightly grasping her waist, with a painful expression on her face, as if she had sprained her back. Seeing this, Little Dragon Girl quickly stepped forward, supported Tang's mother and asked anxiously: "Auntie, what's wrong?"

  Tang's mother frowned and said with difficulty: "It may be a stroke!"

  Upon learning that Tang's mother was unwell, Little Dragon Maiden immediately helped her into the house, had her sit on the edge of the bed and said: "Auntie, let me take your pulse." She then gently grasped Tang's mother's right wrist to examine her pulse.

  Tang's mother was stunned and asked in confusion: "Xiaoxue, can you still diagnose people?"

  "I roughly understand." After finishing the pulse, Little Dragon Girl found that the pain in Tang's mother's waist was caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, which led to poor circulation of the meridians. If she could use her internal energy to help Tang's mother unblock the meridians, once the qi and blood flowed smoothly, the pain in her waist would automatically disappear.

  "She said, 'Auntie, let me rub your waist for you?'"

  Tang's mother was having severe lower back pain at this time and couldn't care about much else, so she just slightly nodded.

  Just as she nodded, the little dragon girl had secretly used the "Soul Shifting Great Technique" from the "Nine Yin Manual". The so-called "Soul Shifting Great Technique" is a kind of mind-controlling technique, similar to modern hypnosis, its effect is to make people lose their self-consciousness.

  The reason why Little Dragon Girl used the "Soul Shifting Great Technique" on Tang's mother was that she would soon use her internal energy to help Tang's mother unblock her meridians, and in order not to let Tang's mother notice anything unusual, she could only temporarily make Tang's mother lose consciousness.

  After Tang's mother was hypnotized by the "Soul-Transferring Great Dharma", Little Dragon Girl sat behind her, concentrated her mind, sank her Qi into her Dan Tian, and secretly activated the "Jade Maiden Heart Scripture". Her internal energy continuously gathered in her palms, and after a moment, she lightly attached her palm to Tang's mother's back, then slowly injected her internal energy into her body.

  Immediately afterwards, Little Dragon Maiden followed the principle of "Reversing the Pulse" to guide the inner energy of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture in Tang's mother's body, helping her to clear the four meridians and eight pulses.

  With the current level of martial arts cultivation, unblocking the meridians was not a difficult task for Little Dragon Girl. Before long, Tang's mother's meridians were successfully cleared, and Little Dragon Girl slowly withdrew her energy.

  After collecting her energy, Little Dragon Maiden first gently wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, then once again used the "Soul Transference Technique" to restore Tang's mother's consciousness.

  "Huh?"

  Tang's mother slowly opened her eyes, dazed for a moment, with a puzzled face, feeling as if she had just had a dream, muttering to herself, "Just now was..."

  "Auntie, you might be too tired and fell asleep as soon as you sat down." Longnü hastily explained, then paused for a moment before softly asking, "Auntie, is your waist still hurting now?"

  Mother Tang heard this and her waist moved slightly, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face, as if she couldn't believe it: "Huh? Strange, why did my waist suddenly stop hurting?"

  Her waist has been in pain for over ten years, it's an old illness. Although she had seen the village doctor several times, it never completely healed. Even when it wasn't acting up, there was still a dull ache.

  However, Tang's mother was now surprised to find that she had recovered, and her waist no longer felt any pain at all. Moreover, her whole body seemed to have relaxed a lot, as if she had been reborn. After careful consideration, Tang's mother realized that her waist pain must have been cured by Little Dragon Girl.

  "Aunt, you rest for a while, I'll go fetch water." Little Dragon Girl said softly, seeing that Tang Mother's waist pain seemed to have improved slightly. Just now, Tang Mother had not allowed her to do any chores, and now was the perfect opportunity to show off, so she thought of hurrying up to seize it.

  "Xiao Xue, come here!"

  Just as Little Dragon Maiden was about to leave the house, Tang's mother suddenly stopped her and asked calmly, "Xiaoxue, yesterday your aunt made you do so many chores, you must hate your aunt very much, right?"

  Little Dragon Girl hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said: "Auntie, I don't want anything. I'm Tang Xiaosheng's girlfriend, it's only right that I help you with some chores."

  When she said this, Tang's mother's heart suddenly softened.

  Actually, since Xiaolongnü entered this family, Tang's mother had a good impression of her. It was just because the marriage between Xiaolongnü and Tang Xiaosheng was not suitable that she would obstruct it more.

  After these two days of interaction, Tang's mother found that although Little Dragon Girl was a thousand gold bodies, she was very capable. Whether it was chopping firewood, carrying water, washing clothes or cooking, she did not hesitate at all, and even her medical skills were quite impressive. What's more precious is that from start to finish, Little Dragon Girl was diligent and hardworking, as a heavenly proud girl, this situation is extremely rare.

  Mrs. Tang saw all these performances of Little Dragon Girl, she knew that Little Dragon Girl was indeed a beautiful and virtuous good girl, and even couldn't pick out any flaws.

  Tang's mother sighed and said slowly: "Xiao Xue, actually, your aunt is not intentionally making things difficult for you. It's just that we are a poor family, I'm afraid Xiao Sheng can't match up to you, if you really marry him, you'll probably have to suffer a lot."

  Little Dragon Girl shook her head: "Aunt, I'm not afraid of hardship. As long as I can be with Tang Xiaosheng, I'll do anything." She paused for a moment and added, "Maybe I won't do it well, but I will definitely work twice as hard."

  Tang's mother sighed slightly and nodded: "Xiaoxue, don't worry, from now on Auntie won't force you to do heavy work again."

  Little Dragon Girl's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, somewhat puzzled: "Auntie, your meaning..."

  Tang's mother said: "If you don't despise our family for being poor, and truly want to spend a good life with Xiaosheng, I won't stop you again."

  "Really?" Little Dragon Girl's face lit up with joy, her eyes moistening slightly. For the past two days, she had been worried that she might be separated from Tang Xiaosheng, and now she suddenly learned that Tang's mother had agreed to their relationship, so she was naturally overjoyed.

  "Silly girl, why are you crying?" Seeing this, Tang's mother gently pulled the little dragon girl to her side, using her sleeve to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and comforted her warmly, "Don't cry, or else such a pretty face will be ruined by crying."

  "Uh-huh." Little Dragon Girl's nose twitched slightly, and she nodded slightly, slowly saying, "Auntie, I'll go fetch water first." She thought that since Tang's mother had agreed to her relationship with Tang Xiaosheng, she should also agree to let her continue helping out at home.

  But then Tang's mother said: "Silly child, I'll get the water myself."

  "Aunt, your waist is just fine, let me do it instead!"

  "I'm fine, I'll go fetch water."

  ……

  Like this, Tang's mother and Little Dragon Girl were arguing over who would carry water at the well in the courtyard, neither of them willing to give in. At this time, Tang Xiaosheng had just finished feeding the pigs and walked back into the courtyard. Seeing this situation, his brow furrowed, he scratched his head, and muttered to himself: "This... what's going on again?"
