Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 157 - 157 157 Hurry Up

?Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Hurry Up Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Hurry Up A hand reached out from the side and gripped Fang Xiaoshan’s arm, and immediately he felt a piercing pain in his arm so intense that beads of sweat formed on his forehead. This feeling was all too familiar… it couldn’t be…
With a thud, Fang Xiaoshan kneeled before Bai Xiao.

Everyone was shocked. What was this all about?

The main thing was that Fang Xiaoshan had just been acting so tricky and mean, and now he was suddenly able to kneel.

What was the situation?

“Fang Xiaoshan, you think it’s appropriate to just hit someone and walk away?” The pressure on his finger made Fang Xiaoshan’s face turn ashen.

Here it came again!

“No… not appropriate! Absolutely… not… appropriate!” Fang Xiaoshan stammered, not out of fear, but because of the pain. He had been looking for a while, and he couldn’t see where Bai Xiao’s silver needle was, but Bai Xiao was holding him firmly, and he just felt that pain, the kind that gnaws at your bones and heart.

It was exactly like the last time. Fang Xiaoshan had already been frightened out of his wits, so how could he not stammer?

“Since you’re being sensible, I feel bad saying anything. But tell me, what should we do about this?” Bai Xiao looked at Fang Xiaoshan earnestly.

She wouldn’t disrupt Fang Xiaoshan’s wedding. It was only right to let Bai Mei be married off in a respectable manner.

But Fang Xiaoshan must be dreaming if he thought he could hit someone and walk away just because they were relatives. His sister wasn’t someone to be bullied so easily.

Bai Song stepped forward, worried that Fang Xiaoshan might hurt Bai Xiao.

His sister had grown so bold. Since Bai Xiao wanted to stand up for Bai Ju, he, as her brother, had to protect her. He would indulge his sister just this once because what did Bai Song have to fear? If necessary, he would take the punishment for his sister’s sake.

He was on guard against Fang Xiaoshan. If Fang Xiaoshan dared to resist, Bai Song could immobilize him with a single kick. Of course, Fang Xiaoshan seemed to be very good at putting on an act, playing the part of an effeminate man. Just from Bai Xiao twisting his arm he could put on a performance like a terrified ghost drenched in cold sweat. One had to wonder if he was made of clay.

Fang Xiaoshan regretted it. Why hadn’t he clarified things before getting into a fight with that person earlier? It was supposed to be a day of celebration, and now here he was, having run straight into Bai Xiao’s hands. He wasn’t going to get away without losing a layer of skin.

“I… will… apologize, for injuring… my brother-in-law… I’ll pay for the medical expenses. If that’s not… enough, let… my brother-in-law hit me… twice. Does that sound… fair?” To speak in such a way was utterly laughable. Who would’ve thought this groom was such a coward! He looked fierce enough earlier, but now that his wife’s family had stepped in, even a little girl had him scared witless.

Honestly, no one believed that Fang Xiaoshan was really in pain because of Bai Xiao’s grip. It seemed impossible. Bai Xiao looked like a delicate little girl. Even if a farm girl had some strength, how much could a girl exert? Her fingers were as thin as chopsticks; how could they possibly hurt someone that much?

Fang Xiaoshan was truly wronged.

No one in the village, including his own wedding entourage, felt any sympathy for him. They all thought he was just putting on an act to give his in-laws face, and they laughed at him inwardly. To think he had been controlled by his wife’s family on the very first day, surely that meant he’d be henpecked from now on.

But who could know that Fang Xiaoshan was actually in severe pain?

When Bai Xiao let go, Fang Xiaoshan collapsed onto his backside.

All the villagers around burst into laughter.

Quite a few people teased the bridegroom.

“Is the groom’s legs going jelly already?”

“From now on, he better not bully our Liupan Village girls. He knows now how formidable our Liupan Village girls can be, right?”

“Even after all, they are all one family, aren’t they? They say brothers fight tigers together, and even though they are not blood-related, they all share the same surname, descended from the same ancestor.”

Fang Xiaoshan forced a smile, now he really had embarrassed himself thoroughly.

The groomsmen beside him helped him up, preparing to lift him to his feet.

Bai Xiao pinched her knuckles, and with a series of cracks, her joints made a sound.

Fang Xiaoshan shivered at the sound.

More to come?

He quickly called to someone nearby, “Quick, prepare two large red envelopes for my brother-in-law and sister, ten yuan in each envelope!”

The wedding procession was stunned; ten yuan per person, making twenty for two. Since they now had to compensate with twenty yuan, why had they made such a fuss over the big brother’s ten yuan in the first place? Wasn’t this like losing a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed?

But seeing how serious Fang Xiaoshan looked, no one dared to go against the groom!

Immediately, someone sent over two red envelopes to Bai Ju and He Wang.

Bai Ju and He Wang pushed them back for a long time, wondering how they could accept such a hefty red envelope when attending someone else’s wedding.

This could make others laugh at their family for being so shallow.

And with this ten yuan in each envelope, twenty for two, it was really too much; who had ever seen such large red envelopes?

Fang Xiaoshan was getting anxious; if they didn’t accept the money, who knew how that vengeful spirit would handle him?

He forcefully pressed the envelopes into their hands, “Sister, brother-in-law, I was blind and failed to recognize Taishan. I might as well have dug out my eyeballs and used them as a ball. I’ve hurt you both, this money isn’t much, just a small gesture. You can buy something good to eat and drink with it, to soothe your nerves.”

“No, really no! This is too much, we can’t take this.” Bai Ju was adamant; after all, a twenty yuan red envelope was a big deal, and it was not proper to let others look down on her family.

Fang Xiaoshan pushed the red envelopes into Bai Ju’s hands, “Sister, if you won’t take it, then I’ll have no choice but to kneel and knock my head on the ground to apologize. I sincerely ask for your forgiveness, and if you don’t accept it, it’s like you’re looking down on your brother-in-law here. If you really can’t accept it, then I’ll kneel and knock my head right now until you forgive me.” He was truly afraid of the girl watching the commotion from the side.

Left with no choice, Bai Ju couldn’t really let the new son-in-law kneel and kowtow in front of so many people.

She reluctantly pocketed the red envelopes, thinking they could give them to Bai Jianguo later if it was still unacceptable.

Seeing that they accepted, Fang Xiaoshan’s face broke into a wide grin and he scurried to Bai Xiao, bowing and scraping.

“Little sister, I’ve made amends to sister and brother-in-law, and they have accepted my gesture. Can we let bygones be bygones? I will return home with the bride right away.” Fang Xiaoshan wanted nothing more than to leave quickly. Out of sight, out of trouble—he had decided that he would rather die than set foot in Liupan Village again.

Bai Xiao nodded, “Then hurry up and go, don’t delay your brother-in-law and sister’s auspicious time.”

Fang Xiaoshan laughed like a fool, “Won’t delay, won’t delay. Well then, we’re off.”

“Go ahead!”

Fang Xiaoshan leaped onto the tractor faster than a rabbit, going straight to the tractor driver and patting his shoulder as he yelled.

“Drive, hurry up and drive.”

Everyone laughed heartily, thinking the groom couldn’t wait any longer.

Who could understand the suffering in Fang Xiaoshan’s heart?
