Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Paralyzed Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Paralyzed Bai Xiao hurriedly led the way, “Village chief, Director, Aunt, Uncle, please come in quickly and see, my grandma is sick.” She ushered the group inside.

As soon as the others left, Bai Jianguo glared fiercely at Hao Fang, a woman who was only good at screwing things up, and rushed to follow the village chief and the others into the house.

His own mother was ill; how could he, as her son, not be by her side?

It was absolutely not in line with Bai Jianguo’s character.

He was, after all, the world’s number one son.

Seeing Li Chunhua’s twisted mouth and crooked eyes, Liu Baoguo frowned. A stroke of this kind was unheard of in their village, though the sight of someone paralyzed in bed with a twisted face was all too familiar. Looking at Old Lady Bai in this state, he feared she really might be paralyzed.

“Jianguo, hurry and take her to the hospital! Your grandma looks like she’s paralyzed. If you delay taking her, I’m afraid it could cost her her life.” At this moment, Liu Baoguo couldn’t be bothered with his past grievances against Jianguo’s family; saving someone was the top priority.

Bai Jianguo, not believing it, squeezed his way through and was taken aback when he saw his grandmother with a twisted mouth and crooked eyes.

Hardly believing it, he nudged Li Chunhua, “Mom, Mom, what’s wrong with you?” After all, Li Chunhua had been insisting it was all an act.

No wonder Bai Jianguo didn’t believe it; this was a perfectly healthy person just last night, and in just a few hours, she had become paralyzed.

Bai Jianguo, in his anxiety, didn’t realize his own strength, and Li Chunhua was pushed so hard that she rolled to the side, revealing to everyone her hands clenched like chicken claws, especially when she rolled over and the blanket came off, releasing a strong smell of urine. Many people furrowed their brows and covered their noses.

As the village chief, Liu Baoguo couldn’t cover his nose, so he could only give orders, “I’ll go call a tractor for you; you guys quickly get your mother dressed and wrapped in a blanket and send her to the hospital.” With that, he left.

The others quickly followed the village chief out.

The smell was simply unbearable.

In a rush, Bai Jianguo shouted at Bai Xiao, “Quick, change your grandma’s clothes; I’ll go get the bedding.”

Disgusted by his own mother, he too ducked out, mainly because the old lady’s current state was just too unkempt.

Bai Xiao grabbed Bai Jianguo, “Uncle, you’d better call Auntie. I don’t know where my grandma’s clothes are, and besides, all of my grandma’s things are locked up. If anything’s missing, I could use ten mouths and still couldn’t explain it clearly.” He thought it wouldn’t be so easy to leave.

Bai Jianguo thought about it and realized that was true; his own mother’s stuff was locked up, and the old lady indeed had some private money. They couldn’t let Bai Xiao take advantage of the opportunity, and having his own family handle it was more appropriate. He immediately gave Bai Xiao a smile, a sincere smile that Bai Xiao believed he had rarely seen in his lifetime. Bai Jianguo’s smiles were always skin-deep, deceitful to the eye.

“Alright then, you go call your aunt!”

This time there was no pushing back.

Bai Xiao pressed her lips together and went out. Hao Fang was still simmering with anger, unable to understand why Fang Xiaoshan wouldn’t support his own family, instead siding with Bai Xiao. This was just beyond Hao Fang’s comprehension.

After all, Fang Xiaoshan had been so close with Bai Mei, he should have sided with his own family both morally and logically, but here he was, turning his elbow out.

Even if Hao Fang broke her head over it, she probably couldn’t fathom that Fang Xiaoshan would rather die than falsely accuse Bai Xiao.

“Auntie, Uncle told you to come and change grandma’s clothes. The village chief and the others have gone to call the tractor, we’re going to take her to the hospital soon!” Bai Xiao dropped the words and walked out.

Hao Fang wanted to ask for clarification, but couldn’t, and walked in frowning, wondering what trouble this old lady was causing now.

At a time like this, what was the need to pretend? Wouldn’t going to the hospital cost money?

Hao Fang pushed the door open, and then Bai Xiao heard Hao Fang cry out sincerely for the first time.

“Mom, Mom, what’s wrong with you? Mom, you can’t have anything happen to you!”

Bai Xiao didn’t want to stay, there was nothing for her here; all she wanted was to go home and sleep. After being up all night, she was tired.

Let the Bai Jianguo’s family continue their turmoil.

“Bai Xiao!” Fang Xiaoshan’s voice made Bai Xiao wickedly want to give Fang Xiaoshan another injection.

Turning coldly, this time Fang Xiaoshan was marrying Bai Mei, and she really wanted to see how the Bai family, which had caused her so much misery in her past life, would cope? Would they also ignore her as they did in her past life.

“Bai… Xiao!” Fang Xiaoshan stuttered, shivering inside upon seeing the face of Bai Xiao, covered in frost.

He deeply regretted why on earth he had come to Liupan Village, running into this disaster.

“Anything else?”

Bai Xiao was getting ready to leave, and upon looking at Fang Xiaoshan, Fang Xiaoshan was so frightened that he took a big step back.

“That… that… I… I…” Fang Xiaoshan pointed at himself, unable to continue.

Bai Xiao understood; this bastard was so afraid of death, how could he forget to beg her?

“Bai Xiao, come in quickly, help change your grandmother’s clothes!” Hao Fang called from inside.

Bai Xiao narrowed her eyes, already they were starting to find the old lady burdensome, and she wanted to see how the old lady would enjoy the care of her children and grandchildren later.

Seeing Bai Xiao narrow her eyes, Fang Xiaoshan felt a chill in his heart, “Bai Mei, come out quickly, grandma is not well! You, her granddaughter, hurry and take care of grandma.” He ingratiatingly flattered Bai Xiao.

The village chief Liu Baoguo and the others had already returned, “Jianguo, hurry up! The tractor is here!” Seeing Bai Xiao in the yard, he thought, the Bai family and Bai Xiao had endless troubles between them, his brows furrowed; it wouldn’t make sense to send her back, as her grandmother was lying sick in bed unable to get up, most people would think it’s only right for a grandchild to honor their grandparent.

But judging by Hao Fang’s appearance just now, everyone knew this family and Bai Xiao did not get along, it might be better to send the child away. However, who would say these words made a big difference.

With this in mind, he said, “Bai Mei, Bai Xiao, neither of you big girls have seen such a scene, and you won’t be of any help lifting and carrying on the way. Just stay at home. Bai Shan and Bai Zhuang are both strong workers; they can help lift your grandmother later. You two follow your parents and hurry up and get your grandmother onto the tractor.”

Liu Baoguo, the village chief, spoke impartially, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Bai Shan and Bai Zhuang could only bow their heads and hunch their backs as they entered the room where their grandmother slept; once inside, they almost vomited.

What is this smell in the room?

Forcing herself, Hao Fang pinched her nose to change the old lady’s clothes, found a set of clean bedding, and wrapped up the old lady, all the while mumbling to herself.

“What the hell is going on? How did the old lady just become paralyzed? How are we going to live like this from now on?”

Seeing his sons come in, and assuming the village chief and the others were in the courtyard, Bai Jianguo stuffed the neatly handkerchief-wrapped money from the old lady’s chest into his own pocket and scolded irritably, “Shut up! Don’t you see what time it is? The whole village is watching us. Save your complaints for later, now’s the time for all of us to be the dutiful sons and grandsons, otherwise be careful, or I’ll deal with you!”

He had soberly realized that this moment was the best time to salvage their family’s reputation and face in the village.
