Chapter 1297: Chapter 1119: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

After Yegu and Dabao left, Tian Xiaobei was still trying his best to persuade his parents, hoping they would give up the idea of going to Capital City. He just wanted to stay behind to help his parents run the Medical Hall and to marry Xia Dabao and remain together for life.

But no matter what Tian Xiaobei said, Tian Guangren and his wife simply were not willing to relent.

Tian Xiaobei even thought of going on a hunger strike to try to convince his father.

But before Tian Xiaobei had a chance to put his plan into action, Tian Guangren attempted to hang himself.

That day, as soon as Tian Xiaobei stepped out of his room, he saw someone hanging from the old locust tree in the courtyard, and he thought he was dreaming. But to his horror, it turned out to be Tian Guangren hanging from the tree. He quickly called for help and held onto Tian Guangren tightly.

Tian Guangren wasn’t truly trying to die, for if he was, he wouldn’t have chosen to hang himself right when Tian Xiaobei was exiting his room. He was just trying to deliver a harsh lesson to Tian Xiaobei, hoping it would dissuade him from thinking about returning to Peach Blossom Village.

At this moment, Tian Xiaobei was physically and emotionally exhausted; on one hand was his beloved Xia Dabao, and on the other were his parents who had raised him.

Yet, ultimately, under the weight of moral pressure, he agreed to go to Capital City.

...

Tian Xiaobei had not forgotten his intention to go to Peach Blossom Village to find Xia Dabao.

So, without waiting two months, just one month later he came, bringing a medical attendant with him and driving his family’s carriage, which was swift. It didn’t take a whole day to arrive.

However, upon his return to Peach Blossom Village, Tian Xiaobei felt no joy.

He wasn’t from this place; he had once come here due to family misfortunes, and it was here that he had encountered the darkest time of his life. Therefore, he had no fondness for this place; far from it, he even shuddered when standing at the entrance to the village.

Here, only the Xia family and the village chief were warm to him; the rest were marked by hunger, ceaseless toil, and the disdain and ostracism of others.

Back in Provincial City, he was a respected son of a Medical Hall; when had he ever suffered such mistreatment?

But fortunately, his family’s circumstances had improved. Now he wore silk garments and rode in his own carriage, with a medical attendant driving for him. He should be feeling confident.

It was only when Tian Xiaobei arrived at Xia Dabao’s home that he felt a sense of warmth and comfort.

Peach Blossom always kept the courtyard spotlessly clean and tidy. It seemed as if the kitchen always had the scent of food drifting out, and even the dog named Xiaocao remembered him, barking wildly from afar.

When Xia Dabao came out, she saw Tian Xiaobei.

She vividly remembered the words her father had said to Tian Xiaobei, "If you can convince your parents, then you should come to Peach Blossom Village."

And what her mother had said, "If Xiaobei really gives up his promising career to come for you, then you must marry him, whether you want to or not!"

Xiaobei’s arrival today, did that mean she was going to marry into their family?

Xia Dabao had been troubled for a long time, at moments wishing Tian Xiaobei could persuade his parents, at others hoping he would go to Capital City. Her feelings swayed back and forth, undecided.

If Xiaobei was truly willing to give up a bright future for her, it meant she was the most precious thing in his eyes; what reason would she have to refuse?

But then, wouldn’t she become the wicked woman in the eyes of his parents?

She both hoped he could convince his parents and hoped he couldn’t.

Now that Tian Xiaobei had finally come, Xia Dabao became even more nervous.
