Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 63 - 63 63 Gratitude

?Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Gratitude Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Gratitude As soon as He Weng saw Bai Xiao’s condition, he flipped over from the bed, stood up on his legs, and fell down in front of Bai Xiao, “How are you?”

The room was silent.

He Weng urgently asked, “What exactly is wrong with you?”

Bai Xiao, trembling and weak, tried to squeeze a smile on his face, but his facial muscles were too stiff from the cold to manage it, “Your… legs…”

Only then did He Weng realize that he had flipped over from the bed and walked up to Bai Xiao.

Walked!

He Wang hugged his brother tightly, tears streaming down his face, an honest man who had never wept like a child in his life.

Pounding vigorously on his brother’s back, “Weng, oh Weng, heavens have indeed opened their eyes. Your legs are healed, your back is healed, you can finally walk!”

He Weng, on the other hand, was rendered speechless, overwhelmed by happiness. He had never imagined that a single treatment from Bai Xiao could cure him; he had thought this kind of acupuncture required years to be effective, especially since they had seen many Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors and had undergone numerous such treatments before.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is particularly known for its slow effects, how could it possibly work immediately?

Yet now, he really could stand and walk, although he could feel his frail legs almost failing to support his strong body, trembling and shuddering, but he just knew he really could walk.

He Wang pulled He Weng and knelt down in front of Bai Xiao, “Little sister, thank you! We, the He Family, will never forget your great kindness in this lifetime, even if I and He Weng become horses or oxen, we must repay you.” They knelt and kept kowtowing.

Bai Xiao, even if she wanted to stop them, didn’t have the strength to do so.

“Brother-in-law, if you really… want to show gratitude… hurry and find… a hot water bottle, what I… need isn’t… your kowtowing, I’m really… about to freeze… to death.”

He Wang and He Weng immediately felt ashamed, right, Bai Xiao was obviously about to freeze to death, weren’t they getting their priorities wrong?

Hurriedly, they got up and searched the house for a hot water bottle.

Bai Ju had already fetched a towel from the hot water and was vigorously rubbing Bai Xiao’s calves, “Xiao, what’s happened to you, don’t scare me!” Tears were about to flow.

“It’s okay, sis, my… medical skills have… an issue. After treating… someone else’s… illness… my own… side effect is… body temperature… imbalance. My entire… body temperature… will become… very low. That’s why I… had you prepare… these things, it’s nothing serious, and I’ll recover… by morning at most. This time… the strain… was… a bit much, so… could you give me a few more bowls… of brown sugar water?”

He Wang had already borrowed three hot water bags from the neighbors, filled them with hot water, and wrapped them in towels! He gave them to Bai Ju, who then stuffed them into the quilt for Bai Xiao. Bai Xiao, holding the hot water bags, finally relaxed and let out a sigh of relief.

He Wang also brought her some brown sugar water. Bai Xiao gulped it down in a few sips, and finally, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead as the sensation of cold began to recede from her body. She stretched a bit! The stiffness from the cold had become more flexible.

Gosh, the biggest advantage of her special ability was that it could save people from the brink of death! But the biggest downside was this severe, baffling hypothermia. This time she was fully prepared, otherwise, it would have been very tough on her. She wasn’t ignorant of the consequences, but as long as her sister could be happy, it was all worth it.

Bai Ju, worried sick, kept rubbing Bai Xiao’s calves and arms with a towel, but Bai Xiao stopped her and pulled Bai Ju to sit on the edge of the bed.

“Sis, I’m much better now. Please stop, I really am better! Look, I’m even sweating on my forehead, and listen, I’m speaking clearly now, not stammering like before. This is the proof.” Her heart was very warm, her sister knew her background but still treated her so well! This was a kind of inclusive spirit. It’s one thing for parents to care for their children as expected, and many adoptive parents do love their children dearly, but siblings are different. They had no blood relation, and for a sister to care selflessly for a girl with whom she had no blood ties, especially after their adoptive parents passed away, what was needed was true affection.

“Are you really okay? You scared me to death. Just now, your face was so pale, almost like a ghost’s, and your lips were blue; it was terrifying. Does this happen every time you heal someone?” Bai Ju had not yet recovered from the shock and was still uneasy.

Bai Xiao lifted the quilt, and as she recovered, she began to feel warm.

“This is a side effect because I can heal people, and often, it’s very serious illnesses, so using my own energy this much, that’s why it happens. Just be prepared, and it will be okay! Don’t worry, sis.”

When He Wang heard this, he also felt guilty. His sister-in-law must have used all her strength to treat his brother, which was perilously close to them thinking Bai Xiao was going to freeze to death.

“Then, sister-in-law, you rest well, and I’ll go buy you some delicacies. You definitely need to replenish yourself, I’ll go right now!” The honest man didn’t know how else to express his gratitude, she had risked her life to save his brother.

This was such a great favor.

They had actually been prepared to take care of He Wei for the rest of their lives until they died! So He Wang could leave their children to take care of him; otherwise, who would take care of a bedridden He Wei if they were gone? That would lead him straight to death.

But now, looking at He Wei standing there, so worried and at a loss because he could walk a few steps, though not very steadily, he could move, just like an able-bodied person, that alone was not enough.

With such improvement, he could possibly go out, work, marry, and have children. Such a future was something He Wang dared not even dream of; if their parents knew below ground, they would probably jump out and kowtow to thank Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao quickly lifted the quilt and grabbed He Wang, “Brother-in-law, don’t be so formal; if you do, I’ll really be upset! All these years, you and my sister sent me a living allowance every month. It’s not been a day or two! It’s been four years. If we talk about favors, I owe you, let’s not mention who owes whom. With this back and forth, let’s just call it even. I don’t need food or drink, I truly hope you and my sister have a good life, and that my nieces and nephews are all well and comfortable, that would completely satisfy me.” She wasn’t just grateful to He Wang but wished for a less burdensome life for He Wang and her sister. Maybe then, her sister wouldn’t end up paralyzed.

In her life, she hoped her once-family members all had a happy future.
