Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 253 - 253 253 Kicked Out of the House

?Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Kicked Out of the House Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Kicked Out of the House The sisters turned off the light and lay on the kang. In the darkness, Bai Xiao asked, “Big sister, when did it all start? I asked you today! You were playing coy with me, your little sister, but anyone with eyes could see there’s something going on between you and Wang Yan. You deliberately avoid each other’s gaze, which is just trying to cover up the obvious!”

Bai Yue’s face flushed with embarrassment. Being discovered by her sister still gave her a shock.

“Actually, it hasn’t been long, just about a month. I didn’t want it to be this way. Since divorcing Li Dashan, I planned to just live out my life with the kids. But sometimes, I still crave that moment of warmth he gives me. Ah, your sister is just not strong enough!” Bai Yue’s face reddened. It seemed somewhat improper to discuss these topics with her younger sister.

“Sis, do you like Brother Shitou?” This was the critical question.

Bai Yue remained silent. She wasn’t highly educated or ambitious. She had thought her life would be a simple one with a husband, raising their children together. But things had already veered off course. Love, like or dislike, she didn’t quite understand these feelings.

“I suppose it counts as liking? Actually, I don’t know if this is what liking someone is like. All I know is when I’m with him, I always want to smile happily. It feels very relaxing, and I feel joyful inside, with nothing to worry about.”

Bai Xiao laughed, “Big sister, that is what liking someone is all about!”

Her big sister was actually quite adorable and naive. If it hadn’t been for running into a jerk like Li Dashan, Bai Yue, with her good qualities, should’ve had a happy life. Bai Xiao hoped Wang Yan could bring her sister happiness.

“Big sister, let’s sleep! Don’t worry, you have our whole family’s support. No need to fear anything. If things really don’t work out, just bring your kids and come with me. My brother and I are both in the city. You and the kids can come over; there will always be a place for you. There’s not much difference between the city and the countryside; it’s not a fearsome place, don’t be afraid. Remember how you were initially worried about not being able to provide for your three sons without any land in the countryside?

But now look at how confident you are. If you can manage life this well here, then you can do the same in the city. City people aren’t born with an extra eye or an extra nose. We’re all the same, and with hard work, you can make a good life there too.” Bai Xiao hoped that Bai Yue and her children would leave the countryside. It wasn’t that the countryside was bad, but its gossip was too much, and people’s outlook was outdated, never allowing one to act freely.

She didn’t want her big sister and nephews to live in such an environment, where their vision and mentality would be so confined.

Bai Yue sighed, “Xiao, I understand what you’re saying. I’ve thought about it too. Just let me think about it a bit more. I’m just afraid of burdening you and your second brother by taking the three kids along. I’m uneducated and afraid I won’t know how to do anything in the city and would end up being a burden to you!” Bai Yue was more realistic; she thought more deeply. Having endured so much already, she could not burden her siblings further. If that was the case, she’d rather stay in the village.

“Sis, what’s this talk about being a burden? You don’t know that the city has already opened up policies. Many people are in business. There’s a baked sweet potato vendor outside our hospital who earns more in a month than a doctor. Think about it; you’re not lazy, and you have two sons to help you. If Wang Yan really wants to be with you, the four of you can surely run a business.

In time, you might even support my brother and me. You don’t know, if it wasn’t for my job which doesn’t allow such things, I would go out and do it after my shift too. Not earning money when you can, that would be madness.” Bai Xiao’s lively persuasion finally moved Bai Yue.

“Really? Business is that good?” She wasn’t thinking of anything else. If Wang Yan broke off relations with his family over her, then she couldn’t stay in the village. So leaving with her children was a must, but she needed a way to survive.

“Yes, really. I heard those in business are earning a lot because many things are hard to come by even if people have money. Think about it. Whenever there’s a wedding in our village and people need to buy things, don’t they go begging around? It’s because things are not easy to get, so doing business in the city is an opportunity.” She encouraged her sister to step out. What did it mean for Bai Yue to stay in the countryside with her children while the others lived a different life?

She and Bai Song inevitably left the village to live in the city, and Bai Ju was doing well in town. It was unfair for Bai Yue to live in the village with her children.

She wanted her brother and sister to have a good life.

Everyone deserved a good life.

“Sis, think it over again,” Bai Yue closed her eyes, her heart clawing with anxious agitation.

She slept very uneasily that night, or rather, she hardly slept at all, only closing her eyes when dawn approached.

The moment she got up! Seeing the dark circles under her eyes in the mirror, she couldn’t help but sigh.

She really couldn’t keep calm.

Bai Xiao also got up to wash her face and brush her teeth, and Bai Yue hurried to the kitchen to busy herself—there was still a pile of things to take care of at home. They had agreed to go to town today to buy New Year’s goods, and no matter what, life had to go on! She decided not to think about anything else, and to first have a good New Year with her family.

However, just as Bai Yue finished sweeping the yard and opened the front door, she was startled, dropping her washbasin with a clang onto the ground.

Bai Xiao rushed out, worried, to see what had happened.

What she saw was Bai Yue helping a pallid and ashen-faced Wang Yan into the house, one hand still carrying a bedding roll.

Bai Xiao hurried over to take it from him, and Bai Song and Li Haiping, hearing the noise, came out as well, quickly helping Wang Yan into their room.

Li Haiping, anxious, asked, “Uncle Shitou, what happened here?” They had a close bond with Wang Yan, who they considered their master. He was strict with them, but he also didn’t skimp on care. To Li Haiping, Li Haian, and Li Haishun, such a good person, a good man was the very image of a real father—something they never had. But they saw a man’s responsibility and duty in Wang Yan.

Of course they were concerned now, helping him inside and pouring hot water for Wang Yan.

Bai Yue looked at Wang Yan, “What happened here?”

Looking at the bedding roll, she didn’t know what to say.

Still groggy, Bai Song hadn’t grasped the situation, “Brother Wang, what’s going on?”

Wang Yan looked at Bai Song and Bai Xiao, then stood up, “Bai Song! Bai Xiao, I won’t hide it from you. I want to marry your sister. Last night, my family had a major row, and my dad kicked me out. He said if I don’t break up with your sister, I’ll never be allowed to use the Wang Family’s techniques or inherit their estate, so I’m now penniless. Would you still agree to let your sister marry me?”

Bai Song was so shocked that he didn’t know what to say. The content of those words was too startling—Wang Yan and his sister?

When did this happen?

He had completely failed to notice it—it all happened too quickly, turning out this way in an instant.
