Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 153 - 153 153 Repentance

?Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Repentance Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Repentance Bai Xiao curled her lips. Had the old lady truly repented?

She hadn’t noticed it, and what she couldn’t understand was that she had originally hoped that Li Chunhua and Bai Jianguo would fight each other, at least to keep her brother and sister free from annoyance.

But with the old lady’s tears and sobs, what was she making such a fuss for? Did she think they were children, with memories short enough to forget past events at the offer of a sweet?

“Grandma, today I made a scene in Uncle’s yard, and I’m afraid you heard it. I’ve made up my mind to never associate with Uncle again. If you’re not comfortable living with Uncle, you can come to stay with us,” Bai Song said. Not that he was a saint, but this was his own grandmother who hadn’t done anything excessively wrong to him, even though she had asked him for money and favored his biased uncle.

But just these things couldn’t make him ignore the old lady. The score Bai Xiao kept was attributed to Bai Jianguo’s family in Bai Song’s heart.

Bai Xiao sighed. Her elder brother was too kind.

Li Chunhua was probably waiting for this very statement. Now, it seemed they had invited another big Buddha to their home. After all her struggles, was she unintentionally arranging for another ancient ancestor to move back into their house?

Bai Xiao thought morosely, if worse came to worse and Li Chunhua dared to live at their house, she would have to teach Li Chunhua another lesson. She would rather have her lying in bed, unable to move, than meddling and bossing around at home. If she were a bit more ruthless, maybe this time Li Chunhua would pass away.

Bai Xiao looked at her own fair hands. Was she about to stain them with blood?

Li Chunhua, smiling, wiped her tears away. “Xiaosong, Grandma knows you’re a good child. But I don’t plan to move into your house. This house was built with your money; why should I leave it for that ungrateful wretch to occupy? If I moved out, he would take the whole thing. Don’t worry, Grandma felt quite agile after recovering this time and I don’t have any ailments. I’ll just live here. Over the years, that couple has taken a lot of advantage from me. They want to abandon their duties towards their parents, they’ll have to see if they’ve got the nerve to do it.

With me here, your uncle and your aunt won’t dare to stir up trouble at your place. In the past, Grandma used to join forces with your uncle to create a fuss at your house, but now I see clearly who really cares for me, who my real family is. I’m here to deal with your uncle and his family so that you can live a good life.

I’ve already made up my mind. After a while, I’ll talk to the village chief. I’ll list all the property, and when I’m gone, everything will be left to you. Right now, I can still move around and don’t need you to take care of me, and especially can’t be a burden to you.”

My gosh!

Bai Xiao stared at Li Chunhua, shocked. How could her grandmother, who had mistreated her for so many years, suddenly speak such kind words? It was hard to imagine. Could it be that her “special ability” also included the power to cleanse impurities and return things to their original purity?

The change was just too extraordinary.

Not only was Bai Xiao shocked; Bai Yue and Bai Song were also completely confused. Their grandmother had suddenly become so incredibly kind, it was almost scary.

“Grandma, please don’t say that. You are our grandma any time, and we really don’t care about the property. Each of us has able hands and feet, we can earn our own living. With the country’s policy being so favorable, no one will starve. Rest assured, when you get old, we can’t be unfilial,” Bai Song thought the old lady was offering to exchange her property for their future care.

Li Chunhua laughed. She hadn’t misjudged them at all.

All these children are good kids; it was her own blindness before.

“You must take this money, otherwise it means you don’t forgive Grandma.” Once Li Chunhua said this, Bai Song really had no choice but to accept. The money made Bai Song feel sad, as this was the first time in four years that Grandma had treated them, the siblings, like this.

“Alright, Grandma, I’ll take the money. You take good care of yourself!”

As they were talking, outside, Hao Fang was peeking around, but she didn’t dare to come in. The old lady glanced at Hao Fang and scolded, “You thieving wench, what are you peeking around for? You’re not stealing anything. It’s because of your petty ways that you led my son and grandson astray. It’s all my fault as their mother. People say to marry a virtuous wife, and I just had to be blind and married you, a harbinger of doom. Look at the state the house is in now.” The old lady’s entire fighting spirit flared up whenever she saw Hao Fang.

Hao Fang’s face turned dark. The old lady was calling her every name in the book, not caring whether it was harsh or gentle, or whether other people were present. She was utterly without respect.

Why doesn’t this damned old woman just die earlier?

Hao Fang was gritting her teeth in hatred.

“Mom, what are you saying? I was just looking at Bai Song and the others since they arrived, knowing that Bai Mei is getting married the day after tomorrow. I was just hoping they could help tidy up the dishes and cutlery, as we’re ultimately one family, right? Bai Mei is Bai Song’s sister, isn’t she? There are just too many people coming and going in the house right now, and we really can’t handle everything!” She still hoped Li Chunhua would order Bai Xiao and Bai Song around tirelessly, like before, without any special regard from the old lady for Bai Song and the others.

Li Chunhua glared and threw the broom from beside her hand, hitting Hao Fang directly on the head. Hao Fang yelped and jumped to the doorway, “You black-hearted, damned thief of a woman! My grandchildren have already cut ties with you, how can you still be so shameless, your face thicker than a city wall, to utter such words? When Bai Yue used Bai Song and the others’ money and mistreated Bai Xiao, why didn’t you treat them like your nephews and niece then? Now that you need someone to enslave and order around, you suddenly remember my grandkids? No way, I want to see who dares to order my grandkids around today. You may be two different families, but it’s not for my grandkids to serve you.

Xiaosong, you guys don’t go. Just sit in Grandma’s room. I want to see who dares to order you around.”

Bai Song quickly tried to calm the old lady down because she was shaking with anger. She was truly furious.

“Grandma, it’s alright. We won’t go. I certainly didn’t plan to help those black-hearted scoundrels who mistreated Xiao. They shouldn’t expect me to acknowledge them as relatives in this lifetime. Also, I won’t be coming over in a few days. Xiao is going to the provincial capital to study, and I need to take her there. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be safe for her, a girl, to travel alone to an unfamiliar place.”

Li Chunhua looked up at Bai Xiao and gestured her over. Bai Xiao silently walked over to her.

“Xiao, here’s twenty dollars! Grandma knows she hasn’t treated you well in the past, and I’m well aware of it. You must resent me, and I won’t say anything to make you let go of that resentment. But I just want to make one thing clear: your brother and your two sisters have truly cared for you with all their hearts. In this lifetime, you can be unkind to anyone or hold grudges against anyone, but you must not lose your conscience. Anyway, I’m already at this age, and I won’t live many more years. Any mistakes are the sins of Bai Jianguo and myself. You have every right to resent and hate us, but you must not wrong your brother and sisters.”

Bai Xiao pinched the twenty dollars in her hand. This was the first time the old lady willingly gave her money; it was indeed rare.

“I understand. I will be good to my brother and sisters in the future, you can count on that.”

The only people in this world who had truly treated her with all their hearts were her brother and two sisters.
