Chapter 137 Changes

After secretly dealing with Tian Jiao'e, Lü Xinyan and the others continued their journey towards Luzhou.

With the addition of Peng Yucheng's family, Lü Xinyan and her group's journey became much easier. None of the disaster victims and refugees they encountered along the way dared to make trouble for them.

After Peng Yucheng and the others pledged their loyalty and willingly became her servants, Lü Xinyan did not mistreat them.

Since they are still on the road and Peng Yucheng and his team haven't fully recovered, Lü Xinyan hasn't assigned them too many tasks yet.

Peng Yucheng's main role was to lead the way and deter any ill-intentioned refugees and bandits along the way.

Although the famine situation had improved by the time they reached this area, there were still quite a few refugees along the way.

Without a stable income, some migrants turned their attention to others, especially the elderly, women, and children who were traveling, making them their targets for plunder.

The impact of the famine was so great that many refugees were displaced and their lives became increasingly difficult, leading many to take desperate measures.

Under such circumstances, only Lü Xinyan's father, Lü Daquan, seemed to have any real authority in her family; the others appeared easy to bully, making them easy targets for many people.

Faced with this dire situation, Lü Xinyan chose to bring Peng Yucheng's family into the fold, making them their servants. With the help of Peng Yucheng's intimidation, the refugees who had initially harbored ulterior motives were forced to reconsider.

Peng Yucheng is tall and strong, and looks like someone you don't want to mess with. In fact, he can intimidate quite a few people.

In addition, with Lü Xinyan's covert methods, relying on magpies to scout ahead, they were kept away from some unsafe areas, which saved them a lot of trouble and danger.

As a result, Lü Xinyan and her group had a relatively smooth journey and did not encounter any major troubles.

As for Cao Cuizhen, her health has finally improved considerably, and she is able to do a lot of daily housework, mainly taking care of some routine tasks and helping Xie Shulan.

Having suffered from illness before, Cao Cuizhen originally thought that her chances of survival were slim and that her lifespan was coming to an end.

She was very reluctant to part with her husband and children, and was very worried about her husband's health, but she was completely powerless to do anything about it.

Even now, when Cao Cuizhen thinks back on that experience, she feels dazed; it all seems so unreal.

However, it was precisely because she had experienced life and death that Cao Cuizhen cherished her current life even more. She was extremely grateful to Lü Xinyan and the Lü family and would do her best to repay their kindness.

It was thanks to the exemplary conduct of Peng Yucheng and Cao Cuizhen that Peng Yiyun and the others felt at ease and had no other ulterior motives.

Among them, Peng Yiyun's transformation was particularly significant.

At first, Peng Yiyun considered leaving some loopholes so that he could extricate himself later.

However, after witnessing Lü Xinyan's miraculous healing skills and various powerful methods, Peng Yiyun had come to admire and worship Lü Xinyan greatly.

He had never seen such a powerful person before. Like a fairy descending to earth, she appeared and saved his father and mother, saving his family from falling apart and preventing him from falling into endless regret.

Even though he is now Lu Xinyan's servant, a huge drop in status, Peng Yiyun is happy to accept it and serves the Lu family well, along with his parents and two younger brothers.

The Lü family treated them very well, which made Peng Yiyun very grateful to them, and she always tried her best to do what she was supposed to do.

At the Lü family's place, Peng Yiyun's main responsibility is to help take care of the eldest brother, Lü Muren.

Lu Muren was easy to get along with, and Lu Muyi and the others would come over to help out on weekdays, which made Peng Yiyun's work relatively easy. However, Peng Yiyun would do his job conscientiously, without worrying about getting dirty or tired, just hoping to satisfy Lu Xinyan and prevent her from driving him away.

In addition, during their time together, Peng Yiyun also discovered that Lü Muren was a very good person and capable. He did not bully him because of his different status, but instead gave him a lot of respect, making him feel very comfortable.

This wonderful family has given Peng Yiyun a lot of warmth, which has gradually dissipated her previously extreme ideas and made her more trusting of others.

Peng Yiyun's transformation was noticed by his family, who knew him best.

They were initially very worried that their eldest son, Peng Yiyun, would not be able to accept such a change in status and might become depressed. They had even discussed that if they found an opportunity in the future, they would redeem him first so that their eldest son, Peng Yiyun, could better realize his ambitions.

But during this time together, Peng Yiyun has changed a lot. She has lost some of her hostility, and her whole demeanor has become more relaxed. She is no longer as tense as before, and she is better able to feel the kindness of others and is willing to reciprocate with kindness.

This change was so obvious that Peng Yucheng and Cao Cuizhen, who were originally worried about their eldest son Peng Yiyun, finally felt much more at ease.

These changes made Peng Yucheng and Cao Cuizhen even more grateful to Lü Xinyan. They knew that it was Lü Xinyan's outstanding abilities and methods that made Peng Yiyun submit. They were truly grateful and willing to repay her kindness. They adapted to these changes and were able to better face various situations.

Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong followed their fourth brother, Lü Muzhi, and their youngest brother, Lü Muxin.

Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong are both insightful and precocious. They had long noticed Lü Xinyan's help to their family and sensed the changes in their family. They knew that this was all thanks to Lü Xinyan's timely intervention and help, which prevented their family from falling apart and them from becoming orphans without parents.

All of this made Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong admire and appreciate Lü Xinyan even more, and they were willing to accept the change in their current status and keep to their duties.

Their parents had already told them that regardless of whether they could redeem themselves and regain their status as free people in the future, while they were still servants of the Lü family, they needed to do their job well and fulfill their duties.

Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong remember all of this and are diligently fulfilling their responsibilities.

Children's world is relatively simple. Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong could clearly feel the kindness that Lü Xinyan and the Lü family showed them, and naturally they recognized Lü Xinyan and the Lü family even more, working even harder when doing chores.

They all have some basic martial arts skills, so they are not lacking in strength and will try their best to do well in the limited tasks they can handle.
