Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 94 - 94 94 Gratitude and Repayment

?Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Gratitude and Repayment Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Gratitude and Repayment After Bai Xiao left, the relatives who were supposed to leave had all departed. It was getting late, and people needed to rest. Both families were from the same village, which made things convenient.

Li Chunmei wiped the sweat from Liu Hong’s brow and asked, “Do you want some water? I can get it for you.”

Liu Hong shook her head; she was not thirsty at all.

“Mom, what’s the deal with Bai Xiao?” she asked. Having had a brush with death, she was no longer a child and could tell that her mother was very close to Bai Xiao, keeping nothing from her. Thus, Bai Xiao must be fully aware of her situation.

“You’re still asking? If it wasn’t for Bai Xiao, you would have been dead without anyone knowing. He saved your life,” Li Chunmei told her daughter everything, and only then did Liu Hong realize how critical her situation had been.

“You child, what is it that you can’t tell your parents? Wouldn’t we protect you? Your dad was even preparing to write a letter of introduction for you, planning for me to take you to the county hospital to terminate the pregnancy safely and securely. Who knew you would sneak out on your own? What if something had happened to you? How could your parents go on living?” Li Chunmei reproached and scolded her, unable to hold back even though she knew Liu Hong hadn’t fully recovered yet.

Liu Hong sat up, feeling unburdened and comfortable without any discomfort or dizziness. Li Chunmei hurried to support her.

“Mom, I was wrong. The more I thought about it last night, the angrier I got. The Han Family aren’t good people. I kept thinking about what his parents said as if I were just rotting cabbage on the roadside, rubbish. Even if I gave birth to the child, I’d still be looked down upon by the Han Family. It’s better not to have this child. I would rather live a good life without marrying than let my parents and two brothers be unable to raise their heads at home for the rest of their lives.” Liu Hong had truly grown up, her words touching Li Chunmei’s heart.

“Even so, you can’t just act recklessly. Look at what almost happened this time; you nearly lost your life. Whatever happens, you have your parents to make decisions for you. Now you need to recover well and once you’re better, we’ll find you a good family to marry into. You’re bound to have a good life,” Li Chunmei thought of Han Dazhi roaming freely around town while her own daughter had nearly died and felt an uncontrollable surge of anger.

“Mom, let’s stop talking about it. I’ll take good care of myself, and I promise not to worry you in the future.” Liu Hong, however, had decided she didn’t want to deal with men ever again; Han Dazhi had truly broken her heart.

“That’s good. Just live a good life. This time, we really need to thank Bai Xiao. He saved your life. That child is a good one, he didn’t say a word too much. Ah, we owe him a huge favor,” Li Chunmei still couldn’t forget how urgent the situation was at that time.

Liu Hong didn’t speak, drank some brown sugar water, and went to sleep.

Li Chunmei watched her daughter fall into a deep sleep, tucked her in properly, then closed the door and went outside. When she got back to her room, Liu Baoguo asked anxiously,
“How is she? Did she fall asleep?”

Li Chunmei took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang bed. She had just had a fever and, in her worry for her daughter, she hadn’t been paying attention to her own discomfort. But now that she was completely relieved, she felt wave after wave of weakness wash over her.

“She’s asleep!”

Liu Baoguo had already laid out the bedding for his wife. Seeing Li Chunmei’s exhausted appearance, he was worried too and said, “Are you alright? Are you still feverish? Should I get you some antipyretics?”

Li Chunmei lay down, and it was only when her head touched the pillow that she realized she truly was exhausted.

“No need! My fever is already gone, you can’t just take medicine carelessly. Right, you also didn’t tell me what exactly happened today.” The details Liu Baoguo provided to Li Chunmei when he returned were unclear, he only gave a rough outline.

Liu Baoguo turned off the light.

He explained the whole story to Li Chunmei clearly from beginning to end.

When Li Chunmei heard that her daughter had already stopped breathing at that time, she was so frightened that she lost all desire to sleep.

Hearing that it was Bai Xiao who saved her daughter with acupuncture, she sighed.

“Her dad, we now owe that family a great debt of gratitude! This girl is a good one, look at how meticulously she does things. She clearly saved two lives in our family and never once acted arrogantly or put on the airs of a benefactor. Just for this alone, it’s worth befriending the child. It seems my father was right, those who are truly capable never show off their skills.”

“When she saved my brother’s life, she didn’t ask for any kind of reward. If back then we had treated her the same way the villagers did, taking advantage of her being an orphan without parents and thinking her help was only natural, we probably wouldn’t be here with our daughter saved today. It seems, to be a good person, you really need to be honest and upright. Do less of those things that go against conscience because who knows when karma will strike.” Right now, Li Chunmei was truly a bit scared.

Liu Baoguo was a sensible man, how could he not understand that Bai Xiao helped them without seeking fame or reward. If it hadn’t been for Bai Xiao’s quick thinking today, even if they had found Shili Shop, they might have been greeted by the already breathless Liu Hong.

Just thinking about Liu Hong’s dying state in the room and the bloodied horror, Liu Baoguo shuddered; even he, a grown man, knew that had they arrived any later, there would have been no saving her.

“Yes, from now on Bai Xiao is our family’s great benefactor. I’m aware, although she doesn’t have parents anymore and has encountered such an ungrateful grandmother, and I don’t see Bai Jianguo as decent either. Bai Xiao has been in their home for four years, and to say he didn’t know his mother, his wife, and their whole family were abusing Bai Xiao, who would believe that?

In the future, we must treat Bai Xiao well. People act, heaven watches. We can’t control others, but we must be someone who repays kindness. Today I learned that Bai Xiao is very skilled; probably all the capabilities of old Bai didn’t get applied properly, but instead passed down to this young girl who could learn quickly and ended up even more capable than her parents.”

“I’ve decided that from now on we’ll treat Bai Xiao as our own daughter. College costs money; they say there’s no tuition fee, but they provide living expenses. Yet I know that the living expenses are just enough for food, and not even enough for a full meal. Going to college in a big city, every month there will be expenses for books, notebooks; which don’t come for free? Let’s not talk about others. Our two sons are in the army; there shouldn’t be a problem covering costs.”

“In a couple of days, prepare two hundred yuan for that girl, and from now on give her two hundred yuan every year. More than that, our family isn’t wealthy, but we can’t let her suffer either.” With these words, Liu Baoguo proved himself to be a gratefully responsible person.

Li Chunmei nodded her head, “Her dad, don’t worry, I understand what’s right. You’re correct, from now on, we’ll consider our family to have gained another daughter. Bai Xiao, from my point of view, is also a good girl, she won’t suffer with us.” Once the couple had discussed and agreed, naturally, they felt at ease immediately.

The couple was tired; these few days had left them utterly drained.
