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

When Huang Shaosong returned home, Lin's mother had already left. He saw that his mother's hair was disheveled, her eyes were red, and she was sitting on the ground. The clothes that had been placed in the yard were gone.

"Mom, get up quickly, don't sit on the ground."

Huang Shaosong went over and helped her up. Without asking, he knew the injuries on his mother's body were definitely inflicted by his mother-in-law. He had just been at the hospital when a neighbor ran over to tell him that his mother-in-law was at his house.

"Shaosong, Lin Xingyao's mother hit me, you have to stand up for me."

Huang Shaosong remained silent; he already felt deeply sorry for Lin Xingyao. Besides, her mother had done everything wrong; next time his mother-in-law wanted to hit someone, she could just let her hit him.

"Huang Shaosong, did you hear me?"

"Mom, Dad is still in the emergency room, I have to go back to the hospital right away. Put some medicine on your face yourself, I'll get you the ointment."

Huang Shaosong gave the ointment to his mother, but she slapped it away. The ointment fell to the ground, the cap rolled to the side, and some ointment was squeezed out.

"You're spineless. Would you die without Lin Xingyao? You have a good job; after your divorce, plenty of girls would want to marry you. Maybe that Su Jiahui is still waiting for you!"

"Mom, I'm leaving."

Huang Shaosong wasn't in the mood to argue with his mother; he wished he could be in two places at once. He wanted to go and explain to his mother-in-law, but he couldn't—his father was still in the hospital undergoing emergency treatment. The doctor said it was very dangerous, and they didn't know if he would pull through.

As Huang Shaosong walked out the door, his mother burst into tears. He paused for a moment, then immediately left again.

At the entrance of the guesthouse, Lin's mother was waiting for Xia Yichu and her daughter to return.

"mom"

Lin's mother didn't give her daughter a kind look, complaining that she was too easy to bully and that Xiao Chu was much better.

"Aunt, why are you so late?"

Xia Yichu saw her aunt standing next to a cart with lots of clothes on it.

"I came here after dealing with Chen Yanhuan at the Huang family's house. Where did you go? I've been waiting for you at the guesthouse for over an hour."

"I took my sister to buy a house. Aunt, you brought all of my sister's and An'an's clothes with you. That's great! Now we don't have to go to the Huang family to get clothes anymore. Aunt, have you eaten?"

"I ate, I ate. I just went to the Huang family and saw Chen Yanhuan trying to burn their clothes."

I beat her up, and Sister Wang lent me her cart so I could take away your sister's and An'an's clothes and belongings. By the way, Xiao Chu, why did you buy a house?

Sister Wang not only lent her a cart, but also helped her pack her clothes and hauled them with her to the guesthouse where Xia Yichu was staying.

She asked Sister Wang to watch her things at the guesthouse entrance so she could go get some food and treat her to a meal later; she had just left. Sister Wang liked her temperament, and the two hit it off immediately.

"Auntie, An'an is asleep. It's too hot outside. I'll go check out the room first, and then we can talk properly."

"Okay, go quickly."

After Xia Yichu left, Lin's mother took the child from her daughter's arms.

"mom"

"If you had half of Xiao Chu's temper, I would be relieved. You wouldn't even utter a sound if someone bullied you."

"Mom, Xiao Chu bought me a house near the hospital. What should I do? I can't persuade her to stop. I can't accept the house Xiao Chu bought."

Xiao Chu was extremely adamant, demanding immediate payment for the house she liked and insisting on having it registered in her name. No matter how much she refused, Xiao Chu remained obstinate and wouldn't listen.

Xiao Chu said she wouldn't buy a house, but instead asked An'an to come to Shenzhen to accompany her to school, and then they could go to Beijing together after graduation. Because An'an hesitated, Xiao Chu bought the house directly.

"Just accept what she buys for you. Don't worry about the money; your dad and I have some savings. I'll give Xiaochu the money later; she won't have to pay for it."

Hearing what Lin's mother said, Lin Xingyao hesitated, but before she could speak, Xia Yichu had already come out.

"Auntie, I'll go hire a tricycle to put the clothes on. Does the cart belong to Aunt Wang next door?"

"Yes"

"Okay, you and my sister go to the house with the tricycle first. I'll take the cart home to Aunt Wang. Then I'll come find you."

"Okay, slow down."

Xia Yichu found a tricycle and, together with Lin Xingyao, carried all the things onto it, while Lin's mother held An'an. They then let her sister and aunt sit on it, paid the driver, and asked him to help carry the things when he arrived before pushing the tricycle away.

"Yaoyao, look how good Xiaochu is to you. He's so afraid you'll be wronged or that you won't have a good life. Can you be a little more considerate in the future and not be so easy to talk to?"

Seeing her daughter's easy-going attitude, Lin's mother was furious. She sighed and said, "Fine, I'll be here to watch over you from now on. I won't let you suffer any injustice."

"Mom, you..."

"Yes, just like you think. I'm applying for early retirement to come and take care of An'an for you. No one will ever make you suffer again."

Lin Xingyao was so anxious that she burst into tears. Her mother and Xiao Chu were always thinking of her best interests. However, she hated herself for not being able to let go of Huang Shaosong, yet she also wanted to give her son a complete family.

"Mom, I don't need you to take care of An'an. You should call the hospital director right away and tell him you don't want to retire early. You only have six months left before you can retire, so retiring early now is not worthwhile."

"I've worked for decades, and now I'm tired and don't want to work anymore. I just want to rest. Besides, what do I need so much retirement money for? You and your two younger brothers can't possibly take care of me in the future."

"It doesn't matter to me, I still have Xiao Chu! Xiao Chu said that when I retire, she'll take your dad and me to Kyoto to enjoy a life of luxury. She won't let us do any work, and she'll even hire a nanny to take care of us."

Even if Xiao Chu was just flattering her, she was still happy. She never expected Xiao Chu to repay her; she only treated her well out of her conscience.

From a young age, she taught her daughter and son to be good to Xiao Chu and not to compete with her for things. Xiao Chu must have what they have, but they can do without what Xiao Chu has.

Influenced by her, the three siblings always thought of Xiao Chu first whenever they had something delicious. Especially Xiao Cheng, who was willing to give up his own future to protect Xiao Chu.

Everything is moving in a positive direction now, and she feels gratified to see Xiao Chu busy with her daughter and son's affairs.

"Mom, we'll definitely take care of you in your old age. It's not Xiao Chu's place at all."

"You! Take care of yourself and An'an first."

"Driver, stop the car. This is it. Mom, we're here."

The driver stopped between a multi-story building and a single-story house. After getting out of the car, Lin's mother handed An'an to her daughter. She then picked up her clothes and walked towards the single-story house. Although the house was a bit old, it was a detached house with a small yard and looked quite nice.

"Mom, you're wrong. This is the house that Xiao Chu bought for me," Lin Xingyao said, pointing to a three-story building.

"Huh, this..."

Lin's mother recalled her daughter's hesitant manner in the car and finally understood why. She and her husband didn't have that much money for Xiao Chu; the house was so new, and it was a three-story building.

It would cost at least 100,000 yuan, and the family only had a little over 40,000 yuan in savings. She heard from her husband that Xia Guoan gave Xiao Chu around 200,000 yuan, and Xiao Chu bought a house near the school. Now they're buying another house for their daughter; has that meant they've spent all their money?

"Mom, I can't take this house."

After the things were moved and the deliveryman left, Lin Xingyao held An'an and said to her mother. Lin's mother agreed wholeheartedly; she didn't have enough money for Xiao Chu, so the house couldn't be accepted.

"Yes, you did the right thing. I'll talk to Xiao Chu when she comes." Only after hearing her mother's words did Lin Xingyao feel relieved.
