Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Shut Up Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Shut Up Wu Xiaoyue hastily went up and pulled Bai Mei away, anxiously checking Bai Mei’s wrist, while scolding Bai Xiao, “Bai Xiao, what are you doing? Bai Mei is your sister after all, how can you say such heartless things? Even if your brother and your sister gave money, you still need someone to take care of you. Can just giving money solve anything?”

Bai Xiao jerked her wrist out of Bai Mei’s grasp, “What right do you have to speak to me? Even if you are Bai Zhuang’s fiancée, what does that have to do with me? Don’t stand there without pain and say it’s easy, can just giving money solve any problem? You see how easily your lips move when they meet.

The problems that money can solve are enormous. If you don’t believe me, go out and ask the whole village. If this money were taken to any family, see if they wouldn’t want to keep me and definitely let me eat my fill. On the contrary, it’s my own grandmother and uncle who, having this money, let me go hungry and thirsty. Why? Don’t you understand already?

Don’t treat everyone as fools. You are a bride bought with our family’s money. If it weren’t for the money I bring in every month, where would your dowry come from? Where would your bride price come from? Haha, don’t be shameless!”

Bullying others won’t make her feel joyful, but this feeling of speaking her mind and pointing fingers at someone is really comforting.

“You… you how… are now like a shrew?” Wu Xiaoyue’s face turned red with embarrassment; she hadn’t expected Bai Xiao to dare to say anything and fear nothing, realizing Bai Xiao was just such a shrewish mess. She definitely wouldn’t have provoked this troublemaker.

Bai Xiao laughed, “A shrew? You haven’t seen a real shrew yet. If you don’t believe me, keep provoking me and see what it looks like when a shrew hits somebody. If you’ve got nothing to say, then get out of here now. I need to go home. Ever heard that a good dog doesn’t block the way?” If you dare provoke her, be prepared to be bullied.

Wu Xiaoyue really thought she belonged to the Bai Family, even if she was a member of the Bai Family, she had nothing to do with Bai Xiao.

What need was there for her to butt in like a dog chasing mice and upstage herself, thinking she could defend the Bai Family, not even considering her own weight?

She thrust out her hand and pushed Wu Xiaoyue aside, “Don’t block the way!”

Wu Xiaoyue was suddenly so angry that tears welled up, “You, Bai Xiao… you are insulting people!”

Bai Xiao breezed past her effortlessly, with a light glance, “That look won’t work on me. You would be qualified to talk only if you could manage to give your family’s money to your uncles for their use. Since you can’t do it yourself, just shut up.” She was busy.

Wu Xiaoyue’s tears almost forgot to fall, wondering, was this still the silly Bai Xiao?

Stunned, she turned to Bai Mei, “Is… Bai Xiao… crazy?” That idiot, who didn’t even know how to defend herself when bullied, was acting so brazen.

Who gave her the confidence?

Wasn’t it said that Bai Xiao was just an orphan raised by the Bai Family, with neither father nor mother, yet still so bold and confident. Who was backing her up?

Bai Mei rolled her eyes. She had hoped that with Wu Xiaoyue by her side, they could deal with Bai Xiao together, but who knew it would end up with Bai Xiao taking her down. She was furious to the point of madness, yet seeing Wu Xiaoyue’s defeated look suddenly made her feel a lot better.

It seemed she wasn’t the only one challenged by Bai Xiao, and that realization suddenly made it less suffocating.

“She’s gone mad! She’s completely rabid! You didn’t see how fierce she was yesterday, she even dared to drag my grandmother to jump into the reservoir together, and you would do well not to bother with her in the future, in case she beats you up out of nowhere, and then you’d really have nowhere to complain!” Bai Mei, unable to contain her anger, said as she recalled yesterday, how Li Chunhua came back and was gnashing her teeth and cursing Bai Xiao in the house. It was only by listening that she understood the whole story.

Bai Xiao was fierce, indeed, daring to actually drag Li Chunhua to jump into the reservoir, and that’s something not just anyone would dare to do, her grandmother of all people, that’s Li Chunhua there.

The very grandmother who nearly beat Bai Xiao to death back then ended up so scared by Bai Xiao that she couldn’t stop shouting about how Bai Xiao was possessed by a ghost when she got home!

“What? She was that fierce? Jumping… the reservoir?” Wu Xiaoyue, having heard her own mom vividly talk about it when she came back yesterday, had thought that it was Bai Xiao who got scared by Li Chunhua and fell into it, never would she have thought that Bai Xiao had the guts to actually jump.

How could that coward have dared?

“Yes, she even dared to perish together with my grandma. You see, Bai Xiao must have a huge stroke of luck to have fallen from such a height and still not die. I heard a sergeant saved her. They were all almost out of breath, and it was the sergeant who kissed her, bringing her back to life. Tell me if it isn’t embarrassing, so many people watching, being kissed by a strange man like that. Who would want her after this? So shameful!” Bai Mei said excitedly as she spoke of this.

Just the thought of that scene thrilled her. Bai Xiao had always been prettier than her, and she had been jealous for a long time. There were so many young lads in the village who would literally stop in their tracks at the sight of Bai Xiao, not to mention how many would rush to help her fetch water or chop firewood, all because they thought Bai Xiao was pretty.

This time, she finally stopped showing off.

Bai Mei thought maliciously, Bai Xiao being kissed by a strange man in public, and even hugged, no need to say, her reputation would be ruined from now on. As for a man wanting to marry such a morally corrupt woman, heh, Bai Mei couldn’t help feeling smug! That’s what you get for being so arrogant, Bai Xiao.

Wu Xiaoyue finally started showing interest, “What, kissing? I didn’t know about that!” She wasn’t concerned about this; her mom hadn’t elaborated yesterday, so she really didn’t know.

Bai Mei pulled Wu Xiaoyue to sit down on the roadside edge and narrated the whole story to her in every detailed detail, as if she had witnessed it herself, her excitement was palpable; it seemed as if Bai Xiao had done something indecent right then and there.

“I never expected, Bai Xiao to be such a person, I thought she was someone who understood shame and knew how to behave, but it turns out she’s completely disgraceful. Bai Mei, you have to be careful from now on. Bai Xiao’s bad name could easily drag you down too. Your mom should be looking for a marriage prospect for you too, and if people find out about this, it would reflect badly on all of you. I’m just looking out for you!” Wu Xiaoyue had already started despising Bai Xiao for ignoring and vexing her, so it was her own fault for being unscrupulous.

What would the Bai family know how to do about this? Those people in the Bai family are not very clever, and they’d probably be glad to get rid of this hot potato.

As expected, as soon as Bai Mei heard this, she panicked, “I just knew she was a troublemaker, how am I supposed to get married now?” Bai Mei was crying out in despair.

Wu Xiaoyue tried to console Bai Mei, “What are you afraid of? Just have your grandma marry this girl off early, then she won’t be your family’s problem anymore and won’t drag you down!” She acted all sisterly, and Bai Mei really bought into that.

Bai Mei nodded, “Rest assured, I’ll go home and tell my mom. This troublemaker must go; we need to marry her off as soon as someone will have her, to save our whole family from trouble.” She was plotting to quickly get Bai Xiao married off.

Wu Xiaoyue smiled, “Look at you, jumping the gun. You can’t just marry her off like that; it has to be to a good family. Don’t worry, even if you don’t say it, I know. We’re like sisters; of course, I won’t side with outsiders. I’ll ask around for Bai Xiao too when I get back. Marriage is a lifetime matter; it ultimately has to be something Bai Xiao is happy with.”

“What does she have to be happy about? If someone marries her, she should be secretly thrilled. With her immoral character, people might not even want her once they know.” Bai Mei thought about Bai Xiao’s defiant face and felt that marrying Bai Xiao off to some poor, starving place would satisfy her, seeing Bai Xiao live a hard life would simply make her day.
