"Doctor, how is the pregnant woman next door?" The old doctor was stopped by Bai Nuo as soon as he stepped out. After scaring Chen Qiuling, Bai Nuo had been paying close attention to the Bai family's situation. Bai Nuo knew that Bai Dalin had returned and that Bai Dalin had consulted a doctor, but she was worried that Bai Dalin would find out, so she did not go in to listen to what the doctor had to say.
However, Bai Nuo remained at the door, and as soon as the doctor came out, Bai Nuo stopped him.
"Who are you to the doctor next door?" the doctor asked Bai Nuo warily. "As doctors, we can't just reveal a patient's condition."
He is a doctor with integrity!
"Doctor, please don't misunderstand!" Bai Nuo smiled brightly at the doctor, which made the old doctor feel even more favorably toward him.
Bai Nuo pointed to the Bai family's gate and explained, "I am this family's daughter. The person you just showed me was my stepmother. I saw my father bring you back, and I was wondering if something had happened to my stepmother. But my father doesn't like me meddling in his affairs, so I didn't dare to ask him. I was also worried about whether something had happened to my stepmother, so I could only ask you. Good grandpa, please tell me."
Her words were sincere and heartfelt, revealing the helplessness and deep filial piety of a daughter. The doctor was moved by Bai Nuo's words. "Your stepmother is fine, she's just a little frightened. You younger generation should be filial to your elders. Your stepmother is in this state, so you should take good care of her. I believe your father will be moved by you."
"Then..." Bai Nuo sensitively grasped the key point in the doctor's words, "she was just frightened," and then cautiously asked, "Is my stepmother alright?"
Fearing the doctor might not understand, Bai Nuo added, "I mean, will my stepmother suffer any lasting effects? Will she always be this timid after being frightened? Will she go crazy?"
Why is this child like this? The old doctor looked at Bai Nuo with some strangeness. Did she really want her stepmother to go crazy?
What a pity!
Knowing he couldn't let Bai Nuo have her way, the old doctor said calmly, "No, your stepmother won't go crazy. She's just frightened. She'll be fine after taking medicine and resting properly. She'll be just as brave as before."
Is it the same as before?
What a pity!
Having obtained the information she wanted, Bai Nuo turned and left, making sure to assure the doctor before she went, "Thank you, doctor. I will definitely take good care of my stepmother."
"How did it go?" Bai Yu asked as soon as Bai Nuo entered the room. "What did you find out? What did the doctor say? Did we scare that woman crazy?"
Seeing that Bai Yu was speaking a bit loudly, Bai Nuo quickly reached out and covered Bai Yu's mouth, glaring at him angrily, "You have such a big mouth, aren't you afraid that others will hear you?" Their house is so close to the Bai family's house, Bai Nuo can hear the neighbors farting. What if Bai Dalin hears them if they speak so loudly?
"Hehehe!" Bai Yu laughed at Bai Nuo, his warm breath tickling Bai Nuo's palm. Bai Nuo immediately rolled her eyes, put her hand down, and glared at Yu, "Doesn't your tooth hurt anymore?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore!" Bai Yu is the kind of person who forgets the pain once the wound heals. He wasn't worried about his teeth being knocked out; he just treated it as his teeth being replaced early.
"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?" Bai Yu tugged at Bai Nuo's clothes, refusing to let it go.
"He's not crazy!" Bai Nuo glanced at the old woman's bed and, seeing that she was still fast asleep, lowered her voice and said, "We went too far. That person just needs some rest."
Bai Yu immediately felt it was a great pity, and then leaned back, "Shall we go and scare her again?" If once doesn't work, then twice; if twice doesn't work, then three times. He refused to believe that this person wouldn't go crazy!
“No!” Bai Nuo shook her head. “We need to think of another way. This method won’t work. Besides, Bai Dalin will definitely follow her around and take care of her every step of the way, so we won’t have a chance to make a move.”
The reason Bai Nuo did what he did last night was simply because he found that Bai Dalin hadn't returned and Chen Qiuling felt guilty. Moreover, the reason they were able to succeed was only because Chen Qiuling was half asleep and couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality. However, if either Bai Dalin or Chen Zhi were at home, they wouldn't have been able to do that kind of thing. Chen Qiuling was half asleep, but Bai Dalin or Chen Zhi were not.
Seeing that he couldn't scare Chen Qiuling into a frenzy so he could get revenge, Bai Yu looked utterly disappointed.
"Alright, alright!" Bai Nuo patted Bai Yu on the shoulder. "Don't be discouraged. There's still a long road ahead and plenty of time. We'll have other opportunities. We'll definitely be able to kill her. Don't be disheartened. Come and help us."
"oh"
The two siblings went into the kitchen at the same time. Bai Yu started making breakfast, while Bai Nuo gently opened a section of the bamboo wall and took something out.
It was the pearl that Bai Dalin had been searching for but couldn't find.
Actually, the pearl had always been in the kitchen. When Bai Nuo built the kitchen, she hollowed out some bamboo and put it back in its original position, just to store the pearl.
The house is very small, just a tiny little plot of land, not much space to hide anything. But if Bai Dalin can come looking for pearls once, he'll definitely come back a second time. Where should we put them? Bai Dalin can find them anywhere. But on the day we were building the kitchen, Bai Nuo suddenly remembered that we could put them in a bamboo tube.
Bamboo has plenty of space, enough to hold even a tiny pearl. As long as both ends are blocked, the pearl won't wander off.
The crucial point is that Bai Dalin would never have imagined that the pearl was inside the bamboo.
