After Rebirth, Minor Character Only Wants to Level Up

Bai Xue knew that her husband blamed her for his mother’s death, but she had no other solution. She thought that as time passed, her husband’s resentment would fade. Deep down, she felt wronged and regretted urging him to return earlier. If they had missed this period, he wouldn’t have blamed her for anything that happened to his mother.

Hiding her feelings, Bai Xue followed him into the house. The place looked a bit messy. Seeing her husband’s displeasure, Bai Xue quickly explained, "Aren’t we going back to the city tomorrow? I thought of bringing everything we can, and I’m also helping Lingzi pack some stuff."

Ye Ling looked at her mother with a hint of amusement in her eyes. Was this guilt? Why else would she rush to explain? Saying she’s packing, it looked more like she was searching for something.

But Ye Ling couldn’t be bothered to say anything. Anyway, the money grandma mentioned, Ye Ling had already found it when she returned from the town that day and had it on her. She had anticipated that her mother would be eyeing that money upon returning, especially because grandma had mentioned keeping some money for her schooling while they were in the city. Mother wouldn’t let it go.

Starting from yesterday, Ye Qian had been very quiet. When Ye He Ping entered, she only greeted him with a "Dad," without saying anything else. Although Ye He Ping felt sorry for his daughter’s illness, he couldn’t bring himself to be as warm towards her as before, thinking about his mother’s death. He just nodded at her without speaking.

Once inside, he sat on the bed and, after listening to his wife, said, "Mom lived a poor life. Now the family only has the private plot and this house. The private plot can only be harvested in the fall. No one has tended it this year, so who knows what it will be like. I think we should give it to the Wang Family. With mom gone, they’ve been helping out a lot. It’s just for a year, and with no one here, they should have it back tomorrow. It’s the least we can do."

Ye He Ping paused and continued, "As for this house, let’s keep it. We can have the neighbors look after it. Fallen leaves return to their roots; when we retire and grow old, we’ll eventually come back."

Hearing that they might come back one day, Bai Xue’s calm face showed some movement but quickly returned to tranquility. She nodded in agreement, "You’re right. Let’s do that. When the time comes, you can talk to the Wang Family. We’ve troubled them enough these days, and we can return the favor to the villagers later."

Without delay, Ye He Ping went to the Wang Family. With him gone, Bai Xue felt somewhat relieved. She glanced at her eldest daughter with slight displeasure but held it in. She sent her younger daughter out to see if anything in the yard needed arranging, leaving only her and the elder daughter in the room.

"Lingzi, where’s the money your grandma left? I’m telling you, it was meant for your school fees. Give it to mom, and I’ll keep it for you." Bai Xue guessed her daughter had it since she couldn’t find it all morning.
