Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 260 - 260 260 A Family

?Chapter 260: Chapter 260: A Family Chapter 260: Chapter 260: A Family “Why would you kids need to work so hard? Your mom is still young, and besides, your Uncle Shitou is coming with us. We’ll have an extra person in our family from now on. Are you guys willing to have Uncle Shitou living with us?” Bai Yue was somewhat afraid, for her three children were her lifeblood.

Li Haiping, Li Haian, and Li Haishun laughed and answered in unison.

“We’re willing.”

In their hearts, Uncle Shitou was a good man. If Uncle Shitou was going to live with their mom, they were very happy to have someone to take care of her, especially since they had always thought highly of Uncle Shitou, feeling he was a truly good man in their hearts. They were even more willing.

Bai Yue’s face turned red with shyness; she truly hadn’t expected her children to have no objections at all.

Bai Xiao and Bai Song also laughed heartily. Their home was really filled with love. In every matter, everyone discussed and considered together, and there was mutual understanding among them. This made Bai Xiao feel a surge of emotion; this was her home.

Every person here was her dearest relative, and each one of them was so kind, so outstanding.

When cooking in the kitchen, Bai Xiao finally asked what was really on her mind—what exactly was going on with Bai Yue? Of course, some things were not suitable to discuss in front of the little ones.

“Sis, Big Brother Wang Yan, are you and he…?”

“We’re planning to get married, but he promised his parents that he would never use the Wang Family’s pig farming techniques again. We talked it over today; he only has one mu of land, and that’s not enough to feed five mouths in the household. The path to pig farming is blocked, and relying solely on chicken farming might barely get us by.

He originally planned to go out and work to save money for building a house and then marry me. But then, Sis, I remembered what you said about taking the kids to the city to do business. I figured if I’m to be with him, we would constantly run into the Wang Family folks in the village, creating awkwardness between us.

Rather than that, I might as well take the kids with him to the city. Even though I don’t understand business, Sis, I believe what you said that as long as one is hardworking, one can make a living anywhere. When I came back to the village, I was starting from scratch with no land and no food. But now, at least I know life can go on like this. No matter how tough or difficult life gets, as long as you live honestly and work hard, you can make a good life,” Bai Yue spoke with unprecedented confidence.

As Bai Xiao stoked the fire, she said, “That’s right, Sis, don’t worry. Life in the city isn’t as hard as you imagine, and we have some advantages. For example, we can help arrange a school for Little Haian to study, and even find you a temporary job.

But honestly, I’d prefer you and my future brother-in-law to go into business together. Our family has plenty of helping hands, and as long as you work honestly and don’t cut corners, shortchange, or pass off inferior goods as quality, trust me, our life will be many times better than in the village.” This is the best era for doing business.

As long as you have the guts, the brains, and a bit of flexibility coupled with hard work, there’s no problem making money in the city with business.

Bai Yue nodded, “Xiao, it’s all because of what you said that I have the courage. I would be unsure otherwise.” She was suddenly taken aback—all of this was because of her sister! Initially, it was about her taking care of her younger sister, but now why did she find that her sister had become her mainstay?

Perhaps it was because Bai Xiao had become completely different from before; she not only had ideas but also the courage and determination to do many things. She was the brave woman Bai Yue had always envisioned.

There was an even bigger reason—Bai Xiao had a job now and had established herself in the army. With wider knowledge and perspectives far surpassing her own, Bai Yue felt that her sister’s words began to carry significant weight.

“Xiao, you wouldn’t laugh at your big sister, would you?” What Bai Yue was really worried about was being able to summon the courage to face the pointing fingers of the villagers. But deep down, what really mattered to her was her family’s opinion. If her family didn’t look favorably on her relationship, she didn’t even want to continue. She was afraid her younger sister would regard her as a frivolous woman.

“Big sister, life is your own. You should never care too much about what others say. I’m your sister; I know you best. The life you’ve lived in the past few years was barely a life at all. You’ve suffered so much. Now you want someone to rely on, someone to give you strength—and there’s nothing wrong with that.

I would never laugh at you. You have every right to pursue your happiness, and as your sister, I will always be here to support you, to bless you. So be bold and do what you want, as long as you won’t regret it,” Bai Xiao understood Bai Yue’s concerns, fearing that her own younger sister would look down on her.

Tears fell from Bai Yue’s eyes.

“Big sister, look at you. You’re rolling out the dough, and now we’ll all end up eating your tears. Come on, wipe away your tears. The good days are still to come.”

She could only wish that her sister would no longer shed tears in this life, but only know laughter and happiness.

Bai Yue playfully hit Bai Xiao on the back. “You’re such a tease, always picking on your big sister.”

Bai Xiao giggled and added some firewood to the stove.

“What about Brother Wang? Why do I see no one at home?”

Bai Yue’s face turned red, “He said that since we’re not married yet, it’s not appropriate for him to stay here. It would lead to gossip from the entire village, which would be unpleasant. He’s gone to Uncle, the village chief, to prepare to stay in the village’s cave house for a few days. After the New Year, we’ll get our marriage certificate, and then we’ll go to the city together.

He has also given me all the savings he’s accumulated over the years. I can hardly believe it; I never imagined he would go to such lengths for me.” Bai Yue was amazed at Wang Yan’s resolute commitment, finally understanding the extent of what a man could do for a woman.

Especially holding the heavy package of money that Wang Yan had given her, she was moved. This man had entrusted her with all his assets without worrying that she might take the money and turn her back on him. What mattered most was that they were planning their future together.

Having a man continuously planning and imagining a future home for you really felt sweet and tempting. She longed for the warm, protective embrace she had fantasized about, and Wang Yan had given her everything she’d dreamed of.

Bai Xiao nodded; Wang Yan had been quite considerate. Otherwise, she might have doubted his intentions.

“When we finish cooking, let Haiping and the others deliver the food. Even though he doesn’t stay at our house, we still need to bring him meals. Besides, you two will have to make things clear eventually. As long as you don’t go too far, the villagers can’t say much. Actually, why don’t you just get your marriage certificate before the New Year? The government officials will be on break during the holidays, and after the fifth day, we’ll be heading back to the city.

I think it’s a good idea to get everything sorted out over the New Year. Then you, me, and eldest brother can all go together. Once we’re there, we’ll settle in.” Bai Xiao was thinking further ahead.

She knew that once Bai Yue and Wang Yan’s situation came to light, there would be much gossip in the village, and she didn’t want her sister to be hurt by it.

If they were going to leave anyway, why not do so before any harm was done?
