Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 196 - 196 196 A Great Kind Person

?Chapter 196: Chapter 196: A Great Kind Person. Chapter 196: Chapter 196: A Great Kind Person. The old lady only then realized that what she was clutching was indeed the white coat.

“Let go if I let go, but tell me, young man, how do you not know to respect the elderly and love the young?”

The old lady wanted to strike first, realizing that she had made a mistake and had smeared her snot all over someone else’s clothes, fearing that the doctor might trouble her.

Bai Xiao turned to look at the old lady, “I indeed understand respecting the elderly and loving the young, but I really don’t know how to respect someone like you! Everyone should have dignity; at your age, you’re still here making a scene. It’s one thing to embarrass yourself, but you even dragged your 12-year-old granddaughter here. Those who know understand she’s your granddaughter, but those who don’t might think she’s your enemy.”

“At such a young age, speaking to her own mother with no respect, I suppose that’s how you usually teach her.” That was the only thing she could say in defense of Chui Li, and this time, she really was about to leave.

Who knew the old lady wouldn’t have it and grabbed Bai Xiao’s legs.

“You girl, you must be colluding with Chui Li, and what you implied was that I mistreated my granddaughter, right? I raised her only to bring about my own transgressions, isn’t it? Today, if you don’t clarify things for me, you’re not going anywhere. Everyone, take a look at what level the hospital has stooped to in bullying people.

“This young girl, hardly a hair on her head, dares to bully an old woman like me; does this hospital rely on bullying to assert its power?”

Indeed, the public opinion then turned against Bai Xiao.

“You, the little doctor, hurry up and apologize to the old lady. How could you speak like that? She raised her granddaughter after all; wouldn’t it be a mistake not to raise her? What are you doing getting involved in other people’s family matters at such a young age?”

Chui Li quickly stepped forward trying to pull the old lady away, this matter had nothing to do with others, and it was improper to just drag others into it so casually.

“It has nothing to do with Doctor Bai, old lady. If it’s money you want, just say so. I’ll go get it for you later, won’t I?” Chui Li could only choose to give in.

The old lady’s mouth curled in triumph.

This former daughter-in-law had always been easy to manipulate, knowing very well she couldn’t escape her clutches.

“From now on, you give Xiaofen 30 yuan a month for living expenses. The child is growing up, and certainly needs more for food and clothing,” the old lady demanded, clinging to Bai Xiao’s legs stubbornly.

Chui Li was stunned; her own monthly wage was only 60 yuan, and she had to send 20 yuan for the living expenses of her parents far away. With another 30 yuan for her daughter’s living expenses, she would hardly have enough for her own meals with just 10 yuan.

Wasn’t the old lady being overly greedy?

Seeing the difficulty on her face, the old lady knew she was reluctant to agree.

She immediately clung to Bai Xiao’s legs, pounding on them and started crying.

“Look, everyone! The doctors in this hospital are bullies. They don’t regard us as humans, whether old or young. Is there no one to stand up for us? Look at how they bully us—oh, my poor granddaughter, what a hard life having such a mother.”

Bai Xiao found it amusing; she was really something, even more outrageous than Li Chunhua. Although Li Chunhua made scenes, she still cared about her face.

This old lady completely disregarded her own dignity.

“Fine, old lady since you’ve put it so pitifully, I initially didn’t want to get involved, but Doctor Chui is a woman earning a wage that’s hard enough as it is. Look at your son, he can’t support his daughter, and we all understand your son has remarried and had another son. Of course, he can’t support this daughter. Since he can’t support her, why don’t you just send this daughter back here to Doctor Chui? Your son can give Doctor Chui 30 yuan a month for living expenses, and Doctor Chui will ensure the girl is well taken care of, never lacking food or clothes. The clothes she is wearing are already too short, yet she still wears them.”

Isn’t it just a contest of wills?

Bai Xiao’s words immediately made many confused people somewhat understand, right. Raising a child is an affair of two people, not just one person.

Every month, they made Dr. Chui cough up 30 yuan for living expenses, which means that if it takes two people to support the child, then the child would need 60 yuan a month.

My goodness, the living standard of workers now is fifty to sixty yuan a month to support a family of five or six.

Which family has to spend so much money to raise a child?

And if they really had to spend so much money on a child every month, the child’s clothes wouldn’t look like this.

The clothes aren’t patched up, and they look of decent quality, but they seem a bit short, a bit small, indicating they’ve been worn for several years.

Asking for so much pocket money from their own mother every month, yet dressed like this, where did the money all go?

Such a young child, saying she eats well, having meat at every meal, still wouldn’t cost 30 yuan a month.

These words immediately woke everyone up.

The old lady, hearing this, panicked.

She let go of Bai Xiao’s leg, scrambled up from the ground, hands on hips, and pointing at Bai Xiao’s nose, she scolded.

“You darn brat, what does this have to do with you? Why should my son give 30 yuan for living expenses?”

As soon as these words came out, not only did Bai Xiao laugh, but everyone else laughed as well.

“Old lady, you’re saying it’s not okay for your son to give 30 yuan for living expenses, but it’s perfectly right for Dr. Chui to do so, and if he doesn’t, he’s heartless, abandoning his daughter? Your logic seems flawed, doesn’t it?”

Many people by now had come to their senses, laughing heartily and pointing at the old lady, saying, “This old lady is blinded by money. You just roll on the ground and make a scene, demanding money. This isn’t just about supporting your granddaughter; I see it’s supporting you and your son as well. It’s the first time I’m hearing about someone divorced still demanding money from their daughter-in-law to support their own son. She’s truly shameless.”

“Who would be shameless enough to show up here? I guess the old lady reckoned that because he’s a doctor, he can’t lose face and argue with her. She’s even using the little girl as an excuse.”

“She really is shameless. People like her should just be taken straight to the security office, picked up, and thrown out.”

“Indeed, she’s utterly disgusting.”

Bai Xiao glanced at Chui Li, such a simple phrase, yet she had the nerve not to say it herself; everyone isn’t dumb, all it takes is saying it out loud and everyone starts to think.

“Old lady, your son is still living in Dr. Chui’s house, staying in someone’s house, and every so often claiming the daughter is sick or needs to buy this or that, asking for money. Now you also want living expenses. Dr. Chui, it seems you are a money tree. Not only do you need to support yourself and your daughter, but you’re also supporting your ex-husband, and even the child his new wife bore. You truly are a saint.” Bai Xiao’s remarks left Chui Li utterly humiliated.

These were the words she should have been saying, but Bai Xia had to say them, what was she afraid of?

Originally, it was that simple.

But she kept herself from speaking out due to her care for face, which led to the current situation.
