Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 154 Didn't you see the pretty girl touching me?
Just then, the bridge began to shake violently. Xiao Yishan picked her up in his arms and quickly ran to the other side.

Even after the two of them stood still, Bai Lu was still dizzy.

Seeing that she was alright, Xiao Yishan said, "Miss Bai, I apologize for my rudeness earlier."

Bai Lu finally regained her senses and said with dissatisfaction, "Since we're going to walk on the bridge, Shu Ya can come with us too."

Xiao Yishan didn't understand her logic. What she cared about wasn't that he had hugged her, but that he hadn't brought her maid along.

He wanted to explain, but he himself didn't know why he had driven Shuya away.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Bai Lu's anger intensified. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a loud bang.

The bridge collapsed completely, and the broken logs fell into the river and quickly disappeared with the current.

"Ah, this..." Bai Lu couldn't say what she wanted to say for a long time.

Fortunately, I didn't bring Shuya with me, otherwise the bridge probably wouldn't have been able to support the weight of three people.

Xiao Yishan shielded her head with his hand and said, "The umbrella fell into the river, let's hurry up and leave."

Bai Lu glanced at the rushing river, where a pale blue oil-paper umbrella floated.

It must have fallen off when Xiao Yishan first hugged her.

"Let's go." She glanced regretfully at the river before turning around and striding forward.

The two pulled their coats over their heads and ran quickly towards the village.

The clothes were made by Li Ruru; they were very waterproof, and only the surface got wet.

When the two returned to Li Ruru's house, it was already quite late.

Xiao Yishan immediately took out a ginseng from his pocket and handed it to Chaochao, saying, "This was given to me by Miss Bai. Go and brew it quickly."

Having never seen ginseng before, and seeing that ginger-like thing, I didn't know what to do.

He could only look at Li Ruru: "Mother, how do I fry this?"

She was afraid that she was clumsy and would break it.

Li Ruru took the ginseng and examined it, then asked Bai Lu, "Miss Bai, how much is this ginseng? I'll pay you."

“Aunt Li, no need to pay, this is a gift for you. This century-old ginseng is guaranteed to cure Peipei’s illness,” Bai Lu said, waving her hand.

Li Ruru was so grateful she didn't know what to say. The ginseng Chen Sanbao dug up was only a few decades old, and he sold it for 100 taels of silver.

That century-old ginseng must be worth over five hundred taels.

She knew Bai Lu wasn't stingy. Since the gift had come all this way, the sentiment behind it was even more significant, so she had no reason to refuse.

As for this favor, I'll repay it slowly in the future.

Li Ruru turned to Chaochao and said, "Just like you would normally decoct medicine."

Li Ruru had never actually eaten ginseng before, but no matter how precious ginseng is, it is still a traditional Chinese medicine.

Since it is Chinese medicine, the decoction method should be similar.

Seeing Bai Lu's wet hair sticking to her face, Li Ruru said with some guilt, "It's raining and the roads are bad, Miss Bai, you still made the trip yourself, it must have been too hard for you."

Bai Lu wanted to say that it wasn't hard work, it was just that the broken bridge caused a little delay.

Before he could even finish speaking, Li Ruru had already dragged him away to change his clothes.

Li Ruru found two pieces of clothing in Peipei and Chaochao's wardrobe. "Miss Bai, which one do you like?"

Bai Lu smiled and said, "Anything is fine."

She wasn't picky, but Li Ruru had no choice but to be.

Bai Lu is a wealthy young lady, so naturally she can't wear coarse linen clothes. The two pieces she chose were expensive ready-made clothes that she had bought before.

She chose a pale yellow dress, went outside and closed the door, telling Bailu to change quickly.

Li Ruru took a few steps to the kitchen and said to Chaochao, "Can Miss Bai wear that pale yellow dress of yours?"

"Of course," Chaochao said without turning her head. They had sent her a precious ginseng, so why would she hesitate to part with a piece of clothing?

"Mother, will Miss Bai dislike my clothes?" Chaochao asked while fanning the small stove.

Even if she has the most expensive and best clothes, in the eyes of that rich lady, they're probably not even worth a tattered rag.

"No, it looks great!" Bai Lu said, skipping and hopping as she came in after changing her clothes.

Looking at her bright and beautiful face, Li Ruru smiled from ear to ear and said, "I'll boil a big pot of water later, so you can wash yourself properly and dry your hair in the oven so you don't catch a cold."

The whole family was busy, leaving Bai Lu and Xiao Yishan to warm themselves by the fire in the main room.

The charcoal was burning in the brazier, making the room warm and cozy.

Bai Lu boldly patted Qiqi's head. Qiqi turned its head to look at her, then nestled its head into her arms. "This dog is big and well-behaved," she praised.

Xiao Yishan added a few more pieces of charcoal and said, "It is actually a wolf."

"Huh? It's a wolf?" Bai Lu was so frightened that she withdrew her hand.

Qiqi barked in dissatisfaction: "You talk too much. Didn't you see the pretty lady touching me?"

"This is clearly a dog."

Bai Lu heard its cry and confirmed it.

Whose wolf barks like that? Xiao Yishan looks so honest, why does he always scare her?

Bai Lu looked at Xiao Yishan hoping for a satisfactory answer, while Qi Qi glared at him: Man, speak properly!
Under double pressure, Xiao Yishan smiled and said, "It's a dog, a greedy big dog."

Qiqi turned around and faced his backside, then stuffed the dog's head back into Bailu's arms.

"The water's boiled, Miss Bai, go wash up quickly," Li Ruru said as she walked in.

Bai Lu was led to Li Ruru's room, where she saw a large wooden tub in the center, steaming inside.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that there were rose petals soaking inside.

"Auntie, there's no need to go to so much trouble. I can just wash up quickly," Bai Lu said.

Although she was a wealthy heiress, that was at home.

When she was away from home, especially in a farmer's house, she didn't want to be treated specially or have others accommodate her in every way.

"It's no trouble, hurry up and wash." Li Ruru pointed to several boxes next to the bucket and said, "This is shampoo, this is shower gel, and this is body lotion."

Bai Lu looked at those things; they were all in the form of paste, similar to what she usually used.

Aunt Li's things were packaged in a metal box, and it was impossible to tell which company made them.

Li Ruru then pointed to a milky white solid and said, "This is soap. It can be used to wash hands and clothes. Miss Bai can use it to wash her underwear."

Bai Lu picked up the thing called soap, looked at it, and smelled it. "It smells so good."

She had never seen this before and was incredibly curious about it.

Li Ruru then took out a few pieces of underwear and placed them on the chair next to her, saying, "These are all new. You can change into them if you want."

This was made by Li Ruru herself. She found modern underwear in her online space and cut it into styles commonly worn by people in Chenjia Village.

Bai Lu touched the fabric and exclaimed in surprise, "Aunt Li, this fabric is so soft and feels so comfortable. What's it called?"

Li Ruru didn't answer her, but only said, "Hurry up and wash, then we'll eat."

He then closed the door.

Xiao Yishan was also taking a shower, but he had no shower gel, no shampoo, no body lotion; all he had was a half-used bar of soap.

It was given to him by Li Ruru.

It took him very little time from taking a shower to getting dressed and coming out.

When he went in, Qiqi was eating a roasted sweet potato, and when he came out, Qiqi still hadn't finished eating the roasted sweet potato in her mouth.

Xiao Yishan, with his hair still wet, ran to the kitchen to help, but was chased away by Chaochao.

He could only slink back to the main room, listlessly drying his hair.

After a while, Bailu finished her bath, and the two sat facing each other by the fire.

Bai Lu rubbed her hands together and said, "Thank you so much for today."

"Thank me?"

"Yes, you saved me."

Xiao Yishan didn't know how to respond to her.

If it were an ordinary girl, she would probably say he was being a pervert.

Especially since she was a rich young lady, while he was a poor boy with no parents and nothing.

Bai Lu was still carefree, drying her hair, while Xiao Yishan felt uneasy.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Miss Bai, don't tell anyone about what happened today."

Bai Lu nodded.

Xiao Yishan then asked, "Aren't you going to ask why?"
