She Came to Heal, Stayed to Conquer

Zhao Zun asked Mr. Meng and Zhang Ergou to select some clever laborers to go to the nearby open space to learn how to drive three-wheelers first.

A small number of people will learn first to keep up with the transportation schedule, and later it will be gradually popularized.

Han Lei took a tape measure and walked to the two grass sheds, carefully compared the dimensions. Then, she bought enough materials from the system.

The laborers at the mine already have experience with building and installation. After Han Lei explained some precautions and key points, she confidently handed over the tools and the construction work to them.

The night was deep, and under the solar lights, whether it was learning to drive three-wheelers or building sheds, the laborers who had worked hard all day had smiles on their faces.

Although rushing the work was tiring, in this open wilderness, they were building a simple yet warm shelter with their own hands.

When Zhao Zun and Han Lei returned to the residence, the night had deepened, and moonlight like water spilled onto the bluestone slabs, reflecting their tired figures.

The courtyard was quiet, with only the sound of the breeze brushing the treetops.

However, when they entered the inner courtyard, they saw a gentle light coming through the old lady’s room; it was the warm light from a solar lamp.

The old lady was obviously not resting yet.

Hearing familiar footsteps and whispers in the courtyard, the old lady put on a thin coat, carried the solar lamp, and slowly came out to greet them.

The lamp light illuminated her kind face, making it look exceptionally soft.

"Mother."

Han Lei saw the old lady immediately and quickly called out softly, with a hint of apology in her voice.

"Mother, why haven’t you rested yet?"

Seeing this, Zhao Zun hurried forward, reaching out to support the old lady’s arm.

The old lady smiled slightly, her gaze sweeping over the two of them, finally stopping at Han Lei’s dust-covered dress, her brows slightly furrowed.

"You two have been busy all day, I couldn’t help much, just thought of waiting for you, to see if you’ve returned. Look, your clothes are this dirty, did you go to the cement factory with Zun today?"

Han Lei nodded lightly and explained softly, "Mother, it’s nothing. Today there was some work at the cement factory that needed help, so we went over to lend a hand."

Hearing this, the old lady gave Zhao Zun a somewhat reproachful look and scolded him, "How can you not care for your wife? Make her follow you around busy all day, ending up this tired."

Zhao Zun touched his nose, smiled awkwardly, and didn’t respond.

Seeing this, the old lady said no more, and just gently patted Han Lei’s hand, speaking softly, "Hurry up and wash up for bed, don’t wear yourself out."

Zhao Zun then took Han Lei’s hand and swaggered back to their room.

The servants on night duty had already prepared hot water, and seeing the two enter the room, they came in to put down the hot water, and then respectfully retreated, not forgetting to thoughtfully close the door.

Han Lei looked at the tightly closed door, her mouth twitching slightly, a sense of helplessness rising in her heart.

She turned to look at Zhao Zun, only to see him opening the cabinet, skillfully taking out a set of bedding and spreading it on the floor in front of the bed.

"You sleep on the bed, I’ll sleep on the floor,"

Zhao Zun said while arranging the bedding, not lifting his head, with a tone that made it seem as if this was the most normal thing.

Han Lei’s mouth twitched again, silently complaining in her heart.

It seems that yesterday when Zhao Zun locked her in the room for a whole day, it was not accidental but surely prepared for battle in advance!

After washing up, Han Lei watched as Zhao Zun undressed in front of her, instinctively clutching her collar tightly.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zun merely removed his outer robe and nimbly slipped into the bedding on the floor. He then looked up at Han Lei who was still standing motionless.

Seeing her still with a wary expression, Zhao Zun couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

"Rest easy, we have to get up early tomorrow."

After speaking, Zhao Zun lay down, closed his eyes, and made no further moves.

Having run around the cement factory all day, Han Lei was indeed exhausted, her body feeling as if it had run out of strength.

After softly finishing her washing up, she glanced at Zhao Zun, who seemed to already be asleep, and then reluctantly took off her outer clothes and climbed onto the bed.

The moment she lay down, she completely relaxed.

She turned off the lamp, pulled the blanket over herself, and felt Zhao Zun’s steady and long breathing next to her, unaware as she fell into a deep sleep.

With the deep night, only the faint silver hue of the moonlight outside the window remained.

Han Lei’s breathing gradually became steady, yet Zhao Zun on the floor quietly opened his eyes in the darkness.
