After living a new life, Bai Jiang was indifferent to fame. She knew very well that a simple and ordinary life was the most beautiful.

Therefore, after lunch, Bai Jiang left with Bai Zhen and returned to Bai Family Village.

As soon as they entered the village, a crowd of people gathered to watch the mother and daughter.

There was no way around it. The small village rarely saw any outsiders, and their attire was somewhat different from the village’s environment.

The villagers who were chatting suddenly stopped and became dumbfounded.

“Wow, this girl is so beautiful!”

“Girl? She’s already with a child, maybe she’s an auntie.”

“Perhaps, she must be in her thirties or forties, yet she’s dressed like this. I wonder whom she’s trying to attract.”

“Hey, don’t you think she looks somewhat familiar?”

“Yeah, she does look a bit familiar. Have we seen her before?”

“You pervert! You can’t even walk when you see a pretty girl. Do you say you’ve seen her before? Are you going crazy over a pretty girl?”

“No, I have seen her before.”

“Isn’t she Bai Jiang, Bai Shu’s daughter?”

After hearing someone mention Bai Jiang’s name, the scene fell silent for a moment.

“How many years has it been since she last came back?”

“Yeah, after that incident, she probably lost face.”

“Yes, her father is critically ill. I heard he can’t be treated even if he goes to a big hospital. She didn’t even come back to take a look.”

“Oh, let’s not talk about it. Since she suddenly returned, could her father’s condition be worsening?”

Bai Jiang calmly listened to the gossip from these people’s mouths. Her expression was indifferent. She was already a person who had started over again. This gossip was not impacted her.

On the other hand, Bai Zhen looked around with a happy expression. “Mommy, the scenery here is so beautiful! It’s picturesque! I want to lie on the grass, close my eyes, and enjoy the sun and breeze.”

Bai Jiang fell silent. Lying on the grass with her eyes closed and basking in the sun?

“Aren’t you afraid of getting as dark as the bottom of a pot?” Bai Jiang asked.

“Why would I be? Mommy, didn’t you say that children can absorb calcium from the morning sun?” Bai Zhen looked at her innocently.

Bai Jiang looked at the familiar gate and sighed. “Baby, do you remember what Mommy told you?”

Bai Zhen nodded. “I remember. Mommy said that whenever we see grandpa, I should cling to his leg and never let go.”

Did she say that? Bai Jiang blinked. Bai Zhen continued, “Don’t worry, Mommy. I’m so adorable, grandpa will like me.”

Bai Jiang lovingly touched Bai Zhen’s hair and said, “Let’s go home.”

When they reached the front door, Bai Jiang took a deep breath and was about to knock when they heard a hurried and panicked voice from inside.

“Old Bai, are you sick again? Quickly, lie down!”

Upon hearing this voice, Bai Jiang’s nose tingled, and she almost cried. It was her mother!

At that moment, Xu Hua was unaware of their presence. She was worried about her husband, who was sick again.

Bai Jiang opened the door and approached, firmly gripping Bai Shu’s chin. She said to Xu Hua, “Mom, quickly bring a towel. We can’t let Dad bite his tongue!”

“Eh, eh, eh!”

Xu Hua was momentarily stunned, tears welling up in her eyes. It had been many years since she last saw her daughter, and her emotions naturally became complicated.

However, the urgency of the situation didn’t allow her to hesitate for long. She turned and went to the bathroom to retrieve Bai Shu’s towel.

Bai Jiang inserted the towel into Bai Shu’s mouth and unfastened two buttons on his chest.

Bai Shu was experiencing an epilepsy seizure, which would subside after a while.

Epilepsy itself was not life-threatening.

However, in her previous life, Bai Shu had an epilepsy seizure and fell to the ground without anyone to attend to him. His head struck a hard rock, causing him to lose consciousness. Due to excessive bleeding and severe head injuries, he was denied medical treatment and died as a result.

Bai Jiang looked at her father with heartache.

In fact, her father’s epilepsy was not a typical form of epilepsy. It was caused by a tumor. After undergoing tumor surgery, scar tissue formed in his brain, resulting in secondary epilepsy.

The epilepsy caused by this reason was not easy to cure, and one had to take medicine for life.

Bai Jiang did not say anything after Bai Shu’s epilepsy ended. Instead, she took out her needle kit from her bag and proceeded to perform acupuncture on him.

After a few golden needles pierced Bai Shu’s head, the surrounding people finally reacted.
