Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 100 - 100 100 Celebration

?Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Celebration Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Celebration Bai Xiao woke up the next day and heard that the grandmother had already returned from the hospital. Reportedly, this time, it seemed she was truly done for, paralyzed in bed.

She found it odd, as she didn’t seem to have exerted that much force. Theoretically, the grandmother shouldn’t be paralyzed and should be able to walk a few steps.

With a twisted mouth and skewed eyes, if one seriously sought out acupuncture or Traditional Chinese Medicine, a few pokes and prods might still cure the condition.

But when she initially dealt with Li Chunhua, she hadn’t planned on actually leaving her bedridden. If Li Chunhua were truly paralyzed, then Bai Jianguo’s life would become much easier. The whole family were heartless people; she would not allow Bai Jianguo to live a peaceful life. Without troubles, they might still cause problems for her and her siblings.

Therefore, Li Chunhua was still of use to her.

However, making Li Chunhua suffer for a few days was absolutely necessary. Isn’t there a saying, “No pain, no gain”?

Madam, take good care of yourself. Sooner or later, you’ll make your comeback, an opportunity to throw your weight around.

Bai Xiao couldn’t help but laugh indecorously.

She never intended to let the old lady kick the bucket just like that, which would let Bai Jianguo and his wife off too easily. It was better for the old lady to be a god-like figure, ensuring Bai Jianguo couldn’t enjoy his life comfortably. Otherwise, if Bai Jianguo had an easy life, it just wouldn’t do justice to the hardship she suffered at their hands over the years.

After all, suffering should be a shared experience.

Bai Xiao began to pack up things to take to her eldest sister’s house, large and small bundles, almost looking like she was returning to her maternal home.

While she was packing, she heard the sound of firecrackers outside. Huh?

Whose family was celebrating a happy event?

Still, she had no social obligations. After all, with the demise of the heads of the Bai family, the villagers wouldn’t seek out this little girl for favors.

Shaking her head, she ignored it. Enthusiasm for hot gossip was not Bai Xiao’s style; she had things to do.

An Zhiyuan would probably come by around noon. He seemed quite stubborn. She had already told him that she didn’t need him to worry about her tuition and living expenses. In fact, there were no tuition fees, and the state provided a living allowance. For the rest, she would find a way, especially since she still had the seven hundred yuan from the Wang Family. After giving three hundred to her eldest sister, she would have four hundred left, which was enough to live without worries in school for quite a long time. Besides, once in the provincial city, she would naturally find ways to make money.

Having lived a previous life, Bai Xiao understood it all. Women who lived willfully had their own earnings, their own confidence, their own say, and independence. There was no need to live by watching a man’s face.

She did not want to be as submissive as she was in her previous life, avoiding confrontations and never daring to face difficulties head-on. She was always looking for someone to rely on, but every time she relied on someone in her past life, it ended tragically for her. So she must not harbor any illusions. She and An Zhiyuan didn’t even have a foundation in affection. Using his money felt sickening even to herself.

If men didn’t mind such arrangements, then all well and good. But should she encounter a petty one, or if someone whispered in his ear, he would likely see her as vain and opportunistic, looking for a security deposit.

She was not that kind of person. She would live honorably and freely, relying on herself for things she could do. It was a golden age for individual entrepreneurs who thrived despite supply restrictions, heralding the emergence of the first generation of the wealthy.

As long as she wasn’t foolish or dull, she could definitely live a good life in the future. Besides, she didn’t believe that with her medical skills, she would starve even if she relied on them for her livelihood. She was determined to follow the path of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which, after all, is vast and profound. Many true medical arts were indeed hidden among the people, with many masters to be found in the markets and streets.

Her medical skills should allow her to live comfortably without needing a grand reputation. In this life, her only wish was to seek revenge, live in peaceful times, and that was already the best thing in life.

Therefore, she truly didn’t intend to, nor could she accept, An Zhiyuan’s money.

But it wouldn’t do not to clear things up. This man seemed to still harbor chauvinistic views, treating her, a genuine counterfeit product, as his real fiancée. It seemed necessary to remind him.

Lost in these thoughts, she heard someone knocking on the front door. She had swept the floor early in the morning and had not opened the door, since she had no reasons to go out.

Who could it be?

She opened the front door.

A crowd poured in. “Xiao, congratulations, congratulations.”

“Yeah, the first college student from our village!”

“Hurry, touch your sister Xiao, get some good luck, maybe you can also go to college and make your grandma proud for once.”

Children swarmed around her, and Bai Xiao couldn’t quite grasp the situation. They touched her hands, her clothes, and then scattered as quickly as they had come, leaving Bai Xiao looking at the black marks all over herself. Village children always played in the dirt; they could never be clean, so she was at a loss for words other than to laugh and cry.

Li Chunmei and Liu Baoguo came in, followed unexpectedly by Liu Hong. Liu Hong had already recovered. In fact, she had recovered last night, but after having a miscarriage, Bai Xiao knew it took a toll on one’s body. Even with her special ability, she couldn’t fully restore lost blood. At most, she could help Liu Hong become a healthy person again, but she still needed to recuperate afterwards.

“Xiao, your uncle and I have decided to hang a banner. You are, after all, the first college student from our village, and we cannot let it go unnoticed. That wouldn’t be fair to the folks from Liupan Village. Oh, and your uncle and I discussed not throwing a banquet. That money would be better spent on preparing your belongings for school!” Li Chunmei truly treated Bai Xiao like her own daughter, wholeheartedly helping her.

Bai Xiao felt embarrassed; she truly didn’t need this false honor, but couldn’t help it if the villagers cherished it. At this time, being a college student from the village was indeed an enviable achievement.

“Auntie, there’s really no need. My sister has already prepared money for me. I’ll just buy some cotton and fabric to make a quilt and mattress; that’s enough! I don’t need to bring too much else.” It was necessary to show gratitude for their kindness.

In truth, Liu Baoguo’s family had treated her really well, and that was why Bai Xiao wanted to protect them. To say she had no ulterior motives would be a lie—everyone needs connections.

Li Chunmei laughed and said, “You silly child, why are you so formal with your auntie? I genuinely like you, and you’ve been a great benefactor to our family. From now on, you and Liu Hong are sisters. Whatever Liu Hong has, you’ll have too! I’m not good with fancy words, but your uncle and I treat you like our own daughter. Don’t worry, if you ever face any trouble, with your uncle and me around, we absolutely won’t let you suffer.” This was an explicit promise of their intent to repay her kindness.
