Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Value Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Value Bai Xiao didn’t know what Wu Xiaoyue was inciting Bai Mei to do, and even if she did, it wouldn’t concern her. Now was the eighties, not the old society back then. Li Chunhua couldn’t even decide for herself. Even if she, Bai Lao Da, stepped in, it would be of no use—marriage freedom prevailed.

It would be futile for anyone to come. Of course, it was possible to force her to take medicine like in the previous life.

However, this time she had acquired her special ability beforehand and she was curious to see whether Li Chunhua still possessed the talents from her past life.

Upon returning to her own courtyard, the door which had been smashed the day before hadn’t been replaced yet. She didn’t have money to change it, and considering there was hardly anything of value in her spartan home except for a bag of cornmeal, she assumed the villagers wouldn’t bother with her place. So, she simply latched the yard gate.

But now, standing in the courtyard, the gate was wide open.

Bai Xiao frowned her distinguished brows, which were unlike other girls’. Other girls had eyebrows that were thick in the front and tapered to a delicate willow-like curve at the tail—typically refined for a girl. Hers, from birth to now, were like a man’s, slightly lifting at the tail before descending, as if they were the strokes of a brush in calligraphy—sharp and defined, a stark contrast to her delicate features.

Surprisingly, there was someone in the yard.

Bai Xiao entered indifferently.

What scares could possibly frighten someone who had already died once!

Li Chunmei, Liu Baoguo, and several people from the Liu and Li families were moving things. Upon seeing Bai Xiao, they couldn’t help but stop.

“Xiao, why are you back so soon?”

Bai Xiao noticed the brand new mats and the kang table in Li Chunmei’s hands, and at the door of the stove room on the other side of the courtyard, a new iron pot, and even more kitchen utensils—not to mention an increase in flour, meat, vegetables, and eggs. She was astonished.

“Hurry up! Don’t stop, everyone, get on with the tidying up,” Li Chunmei, no longer assisting Liu Baoguo, instructed, then dashed towards Bai Xiao.

“Xiao, it’s just a small token of appreciation. Don’t turn it down. If this were ancient times, we would have to repay our life-saving debt even if it meant bankruptcy. These days that’s not customary, but the sentiment is the same. Compared to what you have done for my brother, this is the least we could do,” Li Chunmei said, worried that Bai Xiao would refuse.

Her father had said last night, Bai Xiao was quite remarkable.

They had taken Li Guoqing to the county hospital yesterday, where he underwent a thorough check-up. Even the doctors were puzzled as they asked, “What did your family come to see? This person is in great health, jumping around lively. What’s the meaning of coming to the hospital for check-ups? For no reason?”

Li Guoqing himself was stunned. Although they didn’t know what a myocardial infarction was, he did have high blood pressure and a mild cerebral thrombosis. These issues were identified in the hospital after the New Year, with even X-rays taken. It seemed like the doctor who treated him back then was the same one questioning them now, stating it was impossible to completely cure someone of his age with high blood pressure and cerebral thrombosis; the best they could do was keep it under control.

He was aware of his dizziness, a problem for which he had to take medication to lower his blood pressure without interruption. On the day he was saved from the heart attack, everything at home was in such disarray and he was so shocked that he hadn’t taken his medication. Logically, it shouldn’t be possible that there was nothing wrong with him now.

“Doctor, it can’t be that there’s absolutely nothing wrong, right?”

This made the doctor laugh.

“What kind of person are you? What do you want to have? People come to the hospital hoping they have no illnesses. You, on the other hand, seem to find it strange, wishing you had something wrong?” It was the first time the doctor had met such an odd person.

Li Guoqing carefully asked, “Doctor, do I not have high blood pressure, or a cerebral thrombosis? What about the myocardial infarction?”

It couldn’t be as he thought, could it?

The doctor burst out laughing, “I’ve never seen someone like you before. Rest assured, your body is stronger than a 20-year-old’s. Look at this normal blood pressure. Cerebral thrombosis? Nothing of the sort. And a myocardial infarction is even less likely with your EKG and brain scans I’ve checked. I can responsibly tell you that with a body like yours, living to over a hundred wouldn’t be a problem.”

How amusing!

Indeed, anything and everything can happen in this world.

Li Guoqing and his eldest sister, wife, and children came out of the doctor’s office, looking somewhat confused. Why did Li Guoqing seem as if he had seen a ghost?

“Xiao Qi, what’s wrong with you? The doctor said you were fine, so why aren’t you happy?” his eldest sister Li Chunni, who was already in her sixties, was still concerned about her brother.

Liu Guoqing slapped his thigh, “Oh my goodness, we’ve really encountered a living immortal!”

Astonishingly, he dashed off, leaving everyone behind and ran back to the village by himself.

Li Chunni, her sister-in-law, and her nephew all shook their heads repeatedly. It was as if escaping death had actually changed him for the worse.

It seemed like they were regressing the more they lived.

After returning home, Liu Guoqing sat with his father and recounted the whole story, spilling every detail.

After listening for a while, the old man said just one thing, “That girl is incredible; she’s the Divine Doctor. From now on, we must protect her well, who knows if there might come a day when we’ll need to ask her for help.”

Indeed! Hearing this, Li Chunmei and her husband Liu Baoguo couldn’t sleep all night.

Being able to cure diseases is one thing, but being a Divine Doctor is quite another.

With just a few needle pricks of acupuncture, not only had her brother’s myocardial infarction been cured, but all his other ailments had disappeared as well. What kind of skill was that? This was the real deal!

So, the couple decided that this girl was currently facing a tough time. Everyone remembers the one who adds blossoms to the brocade, but it’s king to send charcoal in the snow.

They didn’t want anything else but for the girl to remember their kindness. Perhaps one day it might even save their lives.

Who can say they will never experience any illness or disaster?

That’s why it’s said that people should do more good deeds and less harm in their daily lives; you never know when karma might pay a visit.

So, the couple got busy early today.

The Liu and Li families both mobilized. After all, everyone was from the same village, and both families were populous. Not to mention the older generation’s brothers and sisters, even just their own generation’s children and grandchildren added up to a sizable clan, truly the village’s significant households.

Only now did this current situation arise.

“Then, thank you very much for your concern, auntie!” Bai Xiao didn’t refuse, which immediately satisfied Li Chunmei and Liu Baoguo.

Not refusing meant forging good relations.

Li Chunmei was immediately all smiles, “Ah, that’s good. You should see your uncle and me as your own family. If there’s anything you need, just say it! You hear that, Xiao? From now on, you are like our little sister, a niece, an external niece; take good care of her, and don’t mistreat our Xiao, you hear?” She was full of authority.

The people of the Liu family, the Li family, all answered loudly, “Yes, of course.”

The courtyard was filled with hearty laughter, bustling with people, lively and warm.

A smile appeared on Bai Xiao’s lips.

Everyone has value.
