Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 116 - 116 116 Going Home

?Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Going Home Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Going Home The old lady went back and brought two hundred yuan, handing it to Bai Yue. Bai Yue had already sorted out her sons’ worn clothes with her two sons; they couldn’t go without some clean clothes to change into. Bai Xiao told them to also pick up the large and small bags she had brought; she couldn’t leave those things for Li Dashan and the others, even feeding them to the dogs would have been better.

Bai Xiao snatched the money from the old lady’s hand because she grabbed it hastily, her fingers tightly pinching the old lady’s wrist. The old lady, displeased, jerked her hand away.

Li Dashan saw it and wanted to say something, but An Zhiyuan kicked a stool, immediately ducking his head and shrinking his neck, hiding behind the old lady like a quail.

The divorce procedures had to be done in the town the next day; it was not possible now. Bai Yue and Li Dashan had agreed that they would handle it first thing in the morning. Carrying their belongings, An Zhiyuan, with Little Sansan on his back, followed by Li Haiping, Li Haian, Bai Xiao, and Bai Yue, left the Li Family’s gate.

Bai Yue’s eyes reddened, although she actually had little attachment to this home.

But having lived in this place for sixteen years, anyone would develop feelings for a place, especially one where they had invested their efforts.

Bai Xiao supported Bai Yue, “Sister, everything will get better. Let’s go home.”

“Let’s go home.” Bai Yue nodded.

Sitting in An Zhiyuan’s car, Bai Yue suddenly realized she was divorced now, returning with her three sons; her grandmother and uncle would probably be the first to reject them.

“Xiao, I’m not afraid of anything else, I just fear that grandma and uncle won’t let me through the door.” Bai Yue really couldn’t think of anywhere else she could go now.

Especially with three sons, and the youngest being so sick.

Bai Xiao laughed, patting her back, “Big sister! Don’t be afraid, we’re going back to our home. You won’t be eating from uncle’s nor grandma’s, what’s there to fear? I haven’t even had the chance to tell you yet, I’ve moved back to our house, the village chief and the instructor have helped me tidy it up. It’s just right; you returning will give me some company.” She understood Bai Yue’s concerns about returning home after a divorce, naturally looking at the faces of her family members.

Bai Yue probably still thought she lived with grandma and uncle; how could they show a pleasant face with her bringing three sons back?

Bai Yue urgently asked, “What happened? How did you move out? It’s not safe for a young girl like you to live alone, such a big deal and you didn’t even tell your sister.”

She was worried about Bai Xiao.

“I just moved out a few days ago. Ever since grandma almost took my life, I realized that no nest is as warm as one’s own. Although our parents are gone, that’s our home. Living in uncle and grandma’s house, I had to live at the mercy of others, with endless chores, and they still scolded me for loafing. This time I got into university, grandma even thought about stealing my admission notice to prevent me from attending college, forcing me to work in the city to earn money for Bai Shan and Bai Zhuang’s bride prices.”

Bai Yue clenched her teeth in anger; she had thought of her sister suffering under grandma and uncle, but she never expected them to be so calculating, “Right. Moving out was the right choice. Once sister returns, don’t worry, since you got into college, you should focus on your studies. I might not have other skills, but I am strong, and I’ll find a way to earn enough money to support you through college.”

This was indeed their parents’ wish.

Bai Xiao leaned on Bai Yue and laughed, this was her family; the second sister was like this, the eldest sister too, and the eldest brother who hadn’t replied to her telegram treated her even better. Although they weren’t related by blood, they were the closest people to her in this world.

Bai Yue, worried, gently touched the youngest son who seemed to be burning up less now.

He felt relieved.

An Zhiyuan looked at Bai Xiao in the rearview mirror, What kind of life had this girl been living before?

Just by seeing the tough lives her sisters led, one could imagine hers was even tougher, living alone with her grandma and uncle. No wonder she had almost died the first time he met her.

Upon reaching home, the villagers were so fascinated by the car that the children followed its ‘behind’ jumping and shouting in delight.

Bai Xiao opened the house door and let Bai Yue and the others in. She had An Zhiyuan move Little Sansan into her own room’s “kang” bed since it was the only one usable at the moment— the one next to it was cleaned but damp since it had not been heated.

After settling Little Sansan, Bai Yue wanted to find a doctor, but Bai Xiao stopped her.

“Don’t bother, Big Sister. Little Sansan, I’ll take care of him!” Bai Xiao saw An Zhiyuan had gone outside to chop wood and carry water, she pulled Bai Yue aside and whispered the same thing she had told Bai Ju to her.

Sure enough, Bai Yue widened her eyes as she sized up her sister, her eyes filled with tears. It sounded miraculous, but of course, everyone understood that encountering such a situation meant walking a path laid by Lord Yama, hovering at the edge of life and death, nearly dead at any moment.

“Your second sister is right. Henceforth, insist to all outsiders that you learned this from our parents, and that’s true. You did learn from them. This is the secret technique left by our parents, and from now on you will be the successor of the Bai Family’s Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture. Even when speaking to your nephews, the older ones, you must claim the same. They are young and sometimes speak without consideration and might slip up,” she said.

Bai Yue’s advice echoed Bai Ju’s word for word, which made Bai Xiao laugh uncontrollably.

“Alright, Big Sister, let me check on Little Sansan first.” Bai Xiao took Little Sansan’s hand, felt it, and her special ability circulated. Little Sansan had sweated a lot at home, and the fever had subsided for now. However, with such severe injuries on his leg, the fever might return in the afternoon.

She took out her silver needle, rolled up Little Sansan’s trouser leg, and gently twisted the silver needle into it.

Little Sansan muttered something blurry in his sleep! Soon, Bai Xiao removed the needles and there was no sign of abscess on Little Sansan’s leg anymore; it looked just like a healthy leg. Although his face was still a bit pale, he was sleeping soundly.

Bai Yue was both shocked and pleased. She really hadn’t expected the medical skills her parents had given her sister to be so impressive.

It seemed like Providence had intervened; her sister must have been sent by their parents to save her own child.

An Zhiyuan had already walked in! He lifted the quilt on the kang bed, wrapped Bai Xiao up tightly, and held her entirely in his arms.

Bai Yue was perplexed. Was the instructor being too casual?

There should be clear boundaries between men and women. Although she knew along the way that the instructor was her sister’s fiancé, under broad daylight, this seemed too much.

Seeing Bai Yue’s hesitancy, the instructor pointed at Bai Xiao, “She gets extremely cold after treating someone, and I’m warming her up. Big Sister, if you’re not too busy, make some fresh ginger sugar water for her to drink, it will help her recover faster.”

Seeing Bai Xiao shivering and curling up in the instructor’s arms, Bai Yue finally understood the seriousness and, in her rush to help, nearly knocked her head on the door frame as she hurried out the door.
