Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 318 - 318 318 Perspective

?Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Perspective Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Perspective The people around had quieted down earlier because of He Wang and Bai Xiao’s presence, some looked enviously at He Weng.

Someone had actually come to visit him.

“You brothers chat, I’ll go to the doctor’s office to inquire about the situation,” Bai Xiao knew her presence might make He Weng uneasy as they truly didn’t have much in common after all.

He Weng’s purpose to come out this time truly surprised her, as it turned out it was for her. He Wang had told her that He Weng came out to repay her, hoping to work hard to save some money for Bai Xiao’s dowry and wanting to protect Bai Xiao.

Of course, that was the original intention, but the outcome had been a different story.

Instead, it led to Bai Xiao saving him once again.

Bai Xiao said it would be false to claim she wasn’t moved, yet seeing the way He Weng reacted to her, somewhat like a mouse spotting a cat, she reflected on herself, wondering if she was too assertive, which may have frightened He Weng.

Once Bai Xiao left.

He Weng finally sighed in relief.

“You, why do you look terrified upon seeing Bai Xiao?” He Wang, seeing his brother’s nervousness, found a teacup for him, as the patients had arrived with nothing at all! All wares were distributed uniformly by the hospital! A directive from the city authority had already stated that all expenses including meals and everyday needs of these workers were to be settled by the public security system.

Of course, none of them knew that this major case had already alarmed the provincial public security department; its enormous cruelty and severity were simply shocking. For so many imprisoned victims, the department had issued an order to initially cover these costs.

Once the case was thoroughly adjudicated, the expenses would be deducted from Boss Xu’s finances. Truthfully, Boss Xu owed these workers more than just that; the skeletons dug out from beneath the mine shaft exceeded 30, and the compensation for these people, including all future compensations for the current workers, would be covered by all of Boss Xu’s assets.

Now, all they were waiting for was the gathering of more evidence; Boss Xu had already been detained and arrested, and even the elusive Han Ge fell into a police trap and was caught in a raid.

“Brother! I feel so embarrassed, I said I came to repay a favor! Yet, I ended up being saved by the doctor again, I’m out of face!” He Weng was miserably frustrated.

He Wang scolded him, “And you still talk! It was all thanks to Bai Xiao; if not for her fiancé Officer An, do you think your telegram alone could have saved you? I’ve told you to stop this nonsense, would it not have been better if you just stayed home and made some money to repay her? Instead, you ran all this way, and look, thankfully nothing happened this time. If something had, how could I face our parents below? I am telling you, once you are well, you will return home with me.

You don’t know, life at home has improved. I am a driver now, and once you come back, I’ll teach you to drive. Eventually, I will save up to buy you a truck; I’ve seen many people make good money driving transport! Don’t worry, if there’s anything, your brother will help you! Our days can improve.” This time, He Weng had terrified He Wang; coming out for a job nearly cost him his life, and he would not allow his brother to continue risking it outside.

He Weng sighed, “Big brother, please don’t be like this. I’m no child, at this age, it’s only through venturing out that one understands life’s storms. If I hadn’t gone through this, how would I have known such evil people existed in the world? Isn’t it said by the elders, a setback fosters wisdom? Now I can still properly take care of myself, and I consider that an enlightenment gained.

Brother, I won’t return; a man should venture out. It isn’t right to always be sheltered under your wing as that wouldn’t be helping me, big brother, but rather harming me. I am a man; after this experience! I believe no matter how harsh the trials, I won’t be afraid, nothing else could be scarier than death. To live is to experience everything.” He Weng reasoned with his brother, to stop him from fretting over him. He knew his brother cared, but he was not a child and needed to stand up and face the world on his own.

He Wang felt somewhat disheartened by He Weng’s words, thinking he had been good to his brother, yet his brother didn’t appreciate it. This was perhaps one of those things in the world that made sense yet couldn’t be clearly explained.

“What can you do if you go out? I can’t understand, is it really that great outside? Why do you insist on leaving?” He Wang couldn’t grasp his brother’s thoughts.

Bai Xiao walked in. She had been standing at the door, overhearing the conversation between He Weng and He Wang. This He Weng, despite his lack of formal education, impressed her with his broad perspective and cleverness. His ability to save himself this time proved that He Weng was a smart and formidable person! Ensuring his own safety while finding a way to seek help, such a person was indeed smart.

Both brothers stopped talking when they saw Bai Xiao, as some things were better not discussed in front of her.

He Wang did not want to criticize his brother in front of his sister-in-law, as that would dishonor his brother, something he would not do.

“He Weng, who sent that telegram for me?”

Bai Xiao had roughly heard about He Weng’s situation. Under such strict supervision, it was absolutely impossible for He Weng to go out and send a telegram himself, and others wouldn’t give him the chance either, so it must have been someone else who helped him.

He Weng laughed, “Doctor Bai, speaking of this, I also wanted to ask you to help me check on someone. It was this person who helped me. If it wasn’t for their kindness, it’s likely that no one would know where I am now! I want to properly thank her.”

After explaining Sally’s role, Bai Xiao finally understood the whole story.

“Let’s wait until you’re better. I’ve asked the doctor, and your condition is good, only suffering from malnutrition with no other illnesses. You can be discharged tomorrow, and we’ll pick you up from the hospital! Once out, I’ll accompany you to thank her! After all, you’re the person involved, and thanking her face to face is much better than me doing it. A girl like this, unafraid of bringing trouble upon herself to help you so much, we should indeed be thankful.” There are many good people in the world.

Bai Xiao was willing to treat all those with a conscience, a sense of justice, and the courage to help others kindly. Compared to her previous life, this world seemed filled with good people, a truly strange feeling. Initially, she returned with hatred, but now, she found that besides hatred, this world was so beautiful and touching.

It made her willing to sincerely treat this world and many people, even if they were ordinary and insignificant, because they were kind-hearted.

He Weng nodded, “Okay, thank you, Doctor Bai. You’ve saved my life again!”

“Don’t call me Doctor Bai, Doctor Bai, as we’re practically family. Your elder brother is my brother-in-law, so we’re relatives, aren’t we? Just call me Bai Xiao. It wasn’t me who saved you this time; it was your own perseverance and your never-give-up attitude in the face of adversity that saved you. I was merely a stepping stone, don’t dwell on that.” Bai Xiao was willing to be friends with He Weng because she could see a potential in him that didn’t relate to academic or educational achievements, but the way he approached and tackled problems showed how far he could go.

He Weng was slightly embarrassed by Bai Xiao’s praise.

The three of them talked for a while, but Bai Xiao had work to attend to. She had only taken half a day off, leaving He Wang to keep He Weng company as she left.

It was agreed that Bai Xiao would pick them up from the hospital the next day.
