Chapter 710: Chapter 710: The Generous New Daughter-in-Law_1

Li Qing didn’t know what Tang Rou had understood, but he genuinely hadn’t grasped it.

Did he reveal that he wanted to sleep with her?

Li Qing turned over and over in his mind what he had just said, and truly, there was nothing of the sort.

But Tang Rou had already gone to take a bath, and Li Qing felt it awkward to leave or stay, so after some thought, he still entered the room.

He felt it was necessary to clarify the situation, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

It wasn’t a big deal that she was taking a bath, and he figured that it wouldn’t be a problem once he spoke up.

The living room in Tang Rou’s house had just been turned upside down by Xu Sanwang and his spouse.

Aside from the table and bed which were still intact, other items such as the coffee table and sofa had been disassembled into a complete mess.

Two sickly people dismantling a home didn’t seem sick at all in the process.

The noise was almost on par with a demolition team, and the most outrageous part was that the two of them actually managed to split a sofa in half.

Even before his cultivation, Li Qing would have found it challenging to dismantle a wooden sofa to this extent.

Although he entered the room, the mess on the floor really left Li Qing nowhere to step.

He grimaced and decided to first tidy up the items that needed to be put back in place for Tang Rou.

As for the items that were broken apart, they probably had to be thrown away, as repairing them would be difficult.

Li Qing stuffed all the scattered clothes into the wardrobe, not caring whether they were neat or not.

Although Tang Rou’s situation was bad, you could tell she was very enthusiastic about life, and her taste in clothes was good.

In a box, Li Qing saw a collection of various sexy little panties.

These styles of clothes, which Han Mei and the others were now almost routinely wearing, had only been seen on Tian Yue’e in the past, even the bold Wu Xingxing did not dare to wear them like this.

But Tang Rou had an impressively abundant stash of them, with several overturned boxes filled with such styles.

While Li Qing was sorting items, Tang Rou, with her hair still somewhat damp, walked in.

Seeing what was in Li Qing’s hands, her face turned beet red, and she quickly took a few steps over and stuffed everything into the wardrobe.

"I’m wearing something similar right now, you don’t need to look for anything fancier," Tang Rou said, her face flushed.

Li Qing knew she had misunderstood him and hurriedly explained, "I wasn’t looking for anything, I was just helping you tidy up a bit, as everything was scattered everywhere, and there was no place to step."

"It’s okay, you don’t need to explain, I don’t have many secrets here," Tang Rou said, her cheeks flushed but her expression calm.

"I’m not explaining, I’m just stating a fact, just tidying up for you incidentally," Li Qing said with a wry smile.

Sometimes, it’s just such a coincidence, he had just been worried about seeing these things and how awkward it would be if Tang Rou happened to walk in, and it turned out to be such a coincidence that she did come in just as he thought about it.

"Okay, let’s just assume what you’re saying is the truth,"

Tang Rou didn’t keep harping on the matter, but went over and closed the door.

Then she used a brush to dust off the bed, lay down at the edge of it, pulled down her pants, and lay there.

"Come on." She hugged her knees and turned her head to speak to Li Qing.

Li Qing was stunned.

This woman was moving a bit fast; he was just thinking about how to broach the subject with Tang Rou. Yet, there she was, pants off, her well-filled garden was not overrun with weeds, in fact, it seemed nearly untouched. Now it was laid bare before him.

"Look, you’ve really misunderstood. I didn’t mean to do anything with you, you should get dressed quickly," Li Qing said earnestly. This was a rare display of self-restraint on his part, the first time he had controlled the impulse in his heart.

If this were the past, regardless of whether the matter had been made clear or not, Li Qing certainly wouldn’t have passed up the opportunity right in front of him.

And as for looks and figure, Tang Rou was quite a catch; she was certainly a beauty.

It’s just that as a new bride who lived a secluded life, Li Qing never really had much of an impression of her. Coupled with this woman’s pitiful situation, Li Qing genuinely found it hard to proceed.

Tang Rou rolled over, pulled up her pants in one go, and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

"Well, I thought that if you did those things, your life might be fairly tough. So I wanted to give you a hand, find you some other work so you wouldn’t have to do that kind of thing again. Actually, it’s just as simple as that," Li Qing explained.

Tang Rou acted very nonchalantly, as if it was all casual to her, which even made him somewhat uncomfortable.

"As you’ve seen, my life is indeed very tough," Tang Rou said, "I’ll consider what you’ve mentioned. I now want to live for myself, so I definitely need to find something to do, but I don’t want to cause trouble for you."

"You don’t need to worry about that. If you two really have no relationship anymore, they can’t cause me any trouble. Even if there is a connection, if you come work for me, they can’t say anything about it. The most direct relationship to this matter is yours," Li Qing said seriously.

Tang Rou nodded. "If possible, I’ll probably come over the day after tomorrow. I won’t ask for two thousand; just pay me the normal wage for our town, fifteen hundred is fine. I know that my reputation for doing that sort of thing might affect things there, and you don’t need to raise my salary because of it."

"The two aren’t related; you don’t have to overthink it," Li Qing said.

He wanted to find a place to sit down and talk, but after looking around, there really wasn’t anywhere to settle.

Standing and talking made him quite uncomfortable.

"Thank you, I’ll tidy up the house and give it some thought. If I decide to do it, I’ll come over the day after tomorrow," Tang Rou said after pondering for a moment, her expression serious. She seemed to always have this businesslike demeanor, with not a trace of a smile on her face.

"Okay, then I’ll head back first, take your time with the tidying," Li Qing said.

"Wait." Tang Rou suddenly called out, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Qing earnestly and asked, "Do you really not want to sleep with me?"

Her words caught Li Qing off guard, his expression freezing, "It’s not that I don’t want to, I just don’t need to pile on your troubles. Rest up."

"No problem, if you want to do it, just do it, since you’ve already seen everything. I’m no longer connected with their family; I only need to consider my own feelings now. I’d already prepared to go into town and do this kind of business, I don’t mind if you take advantage of me first, it’s alright, if you want to come, then come," Tang Rou said very generously, as if what she was talking about wasn’t a big deal at all, but something very routine.

"Let’s still not, if you keep this up, I might really not be able to hold back," Li Qing said with a laugh.
