Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

"Wake up."

A woman in her early forties was shouting and pushing a girl on the bed. The girl was pale and covered in sweat. There was only a straw mat on the bed, no quilt or pillow.

The girl opened her eyes, looking bewildered, and asked, "Where am I?"

"This is a clinic. You fainted after having your blood drawn."

"Drawing blood? How is that possible?" She's already dead, why would she need to draw blood?

"Yes, we're about to get off work. Here, drink this bowl of sweet soup, and then you can go home."

The woman took a bowl of sugar water, helped her sit up, and put the bowl in her mouth.

Xia Yichu was the girl who fainted. She finished the water in one gulp and even licked her lips. How could she be so hungry and thirsty after dying? Could it be because she couldn't eat when she died? She didn't have time to think further before the woman urged her to leave.

She walked out feeling dizzy. The outside was bustling with people. But why was this place so backward, with so many people walking and riding bicycles on the street?

"Little girl, I'm sorry, are you alright? You brat, you stop right there! How dare you steal my money to buy a game console!"

The boy ran into the crowd without looking back and disappeared in the blink of an eye, making the old woman stomp her foot in anger. Xia Yichu was bumped into by her and fell to the ground, only to find that her bottom hurt a lot.

"Young lady, I'm so sorry, let me help you up."

Xia Yichu was helped up, and she excitedly grabbed the old woman's hand, asking, "Auntie, where is this?"

"Pengcheng, oh dear, it's all my brat's fault for stealing half a month's salary to buy a game console. Just wait until he gets back, I'll beat him to a pulp..."

The old woman kept grumbling beside her. Xia Yichu looked carefully at the street. It really was Pengcheng; she had lived here for many years, but something was off. Pengcheng shouldn't be like this now; this was how it looked when she first came out to study. So many years had passed that she didn't recognize her at first.

"Little girl, little girl"

The old woman said a lot, and seeing Xia Yichu standing there in a daze, she waved her hand in front of her.

"Auntie, what year is it this year?"

Although the old woman saw that she was pale and swaying, her eyes were bright and she didn't seem to have any mental problems.

"1995, young lady, come on, shall I take you to the hospital for a checkup?"

Hearing this, Xia Yichu turned around to look at the clinic behind her, her face full of disbelief. Looking at the needle marks on her hand, she finally remembered. This was the place where she had first sold her blood—an inconspicuous little clinic with doctors treating patients outside and blood-drawing facilities inside.

"Girl, don't worry, you don't need to worry about the money. Auntie will take care of it, and you too..."

The old woman pulled Xia Yichu away, but Xia Yichu came to her senses and broke free of her hand.

"Auntie, I'm fine."

After speaking, she stumbled away. Xia Yichu just wanted to know what had happened. Because of her physical condition, she walked and stopped frequently, taking half an hour to reach her rented apartment. A girl was standing at the door, anxiously looking around.

"Yichu, why are you only coming back now?"

"Autumn Red"

Xia Yichu looked at the young Wu Qiuhong, who was standing right in front of her, speaking to her.

"Why do you look so pale? Did you have 400 milliliters of blood drawn? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

"Autumn Red"

"Don't say anything yet, let me help you inside to rest."

Xia Yichu was helped inside by Wu Qiuhong, feeling the warmth emanating from her body. She was certain that she had been reborn—reborn right after graduating high school and starting work, with only three days left before school started.

She went to the clinic to donate blood today, and fainted right after the blood was drawn. In order to raise money for Chen Shaoping's college tuition, she donated a full 400 milliliters of blood and earned 1,000 yuan.

She originally only wanted to donate 200 milliliters, but the blood drawer increased the price to 1,000 yuan, making her donate 400 milliliters. Xia Yichu, for some reason, had lived an extra lifetime and knew she had a rare blood type. While others only received 200-300 milliliters per donation, she received several times that amount.

"Yichu, lie down for a while, I'll go get you some red date porridge."

Xia Yichu nodded without speaking, lying on the bed looking at the room, which was about ten square meters in size, with a 1.2-meter bed, a small table, a water glass, two bowls, and a few pairs of chopsticks on the table.

There were two plastic chairs next to the table, the kind that could be stacked together. Behind the door was a bucket and a washbasin, with toiletries on top.

"Here you go, it's not too hot, it's just the right temperature."

Xia Yichu sat up and took the porridge to eat. To save money, she only ate two meals a day. She usually didn't eat breakfast, ate lunch at the factory, and ate dinner at the restaurant where the dishes were washed.

Because she was in a hurry, she skipped lunch to sell her blood. She also worked a morning job and then had to work part-time washing dishes at a restaurant in the evening. Although it was called part-time, it was practically full-time; she washed dishes from 7 pm to 1 am, a total of six hours.

"Yixia, you shouldn't go to work tonight. Look at you, what if something happens..."

"it is good"

Xia Yichu swallowed the last mouthful of porridge and said that she was not Chen Shaoping's mother, so it was none of her business if he didn't have tuition fees.

"What if you faint? What will you do then? What did you just say???"

"I said okay, I won't go to work tonight."

"Really, I'll ask for leave for you right away."

Afraid that she would change her mind, Wu Qiuhong ran away in the blink of an eye, and after a while she came in with a pot of porridge.

There's still some porridge in the pot, have some more.

Without giving Xia Yichu a chance to speak, she ran out again. Xia Yichu watched as the energetic Wu Qiuhong smiled and started ladling porridge. The porridge was delicious; she hadn't felt this comfortable in a long time.

In her past life, she often went hungry to earn money, which damaged her stomach. Before the age of thirty, her stomach was frequently uncomfortable, and she couldn't eat many things because they made her feel uncomfortable. Before she was even forty, she was diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer. She couldn't eat anything, and even if she did, she would vomit. She didn't have the money for treatment, nor did she want to.

One night, she closed all the windows, turned on the gas, and dragged her and her entire family to their deaths. The scumbag family died, but unfortunately, Chen Shaoping, who had ruined her life, was still alive and well, living a successful life with Yang Mengru.

The thought of her porridge losing its flavor made her sob. She dared not cry too loudly; twelve families lived here. Someone was cooking in the kitchen, and others were washing things in the yard.

The kitchen and toilet are shared. The total area of ​​the house is less than 250 square meters, with a yard of more than 20 square meters. There is a well in the yard, and people brush their teeth, wash their faces, wash clothes and vegetables in the yard.

Her and Qiu Hong's apartment was the smallest, costing thirty yuan a month; the other tenants all had families. The apartments that could fit two beds cost fifty yuan a month.

The apartment was rented by Chen Shaoping's second sister's colleague. Xia Yichu knew that it was not easy for a single young woman like her to find a place. It was best to rent a place with a family, even though it would be noisy with children, because it was safe.

Xia Yichu wiped away her tears and, while everyone was cooking, grabbed her clothes and went to take a shower. It was August 26th, and the weather was very hot, so she didn't need hot water. She simply took a bucket and turned on the tap in the bathroom to fill it with water for a shower.
