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

"Xiao Chu, why did it take you so long? Did you run into Chen Yanhuan? Did she give you any trouble?"

Lin's mother and Lin Xingyao had already tidied up the downstairs area; the furniture and appliances in the house were about 80-90% new. The homeowner hadn't moved out and had left most of the furniture behind.

"Auntie, no, I bought some fruit for Aunt Wang on my way there. Aunt Wang was so hospitable, she kept me company and talked to me for a while."

Aunt Wang told her that Huang's father was being treated in the hospital, and the neighbor who went to the hospital to call Huang Shaosong back said that Huang's father was not doing well this time and it was unknown whether he could pull through.

"That's good, Xiao Chu, your sister can't accept this house."

"Auntie, let's clean the house first. We'll sleep here tonight. We can talk about other things later."

On the way back, I bought three pillows and three blankets. While the sun is still out, I washed the pillowcases and blankets and hung them out to dry.

Before her aunt could speak, Xia Yichu grabbed her things and went to wash them. Lin's mother, remembering that the upstairs hadn't been cleaned yet and there was only one room downstairs where they would be sleeping that night, quickly grabbed a broom and dustpan and went upstairs to clean.

"Yaoyao, this upstairs looks like no one has ever lived here."

Lin Xingyao tidied up the room and put An'an on the floor in the living room to play with her toys. She left the bedroom door open so she could see An'an.

"Mom, no one has ever lived upstairs. All the furniture upstairs is new. The homeowner said he just built the house six months ago, and he and his wife live in the downstairs room."

My son runs a business away from home, and everyone is busy, so we only come home for Chinese New Year. Last year when I went home for the New Year, the house wasn't finished yet, so no one lived on the second and third floors.

The reason they're selling the house is that their whole family is immigrating abroad and they probably won't be coming back.

The second floor has three bedrooms and a living room, with a bathroom attached to the living room. One of the bedrooms is a suite with a small balcony.

When the homeowners were selling the house, they kept mentioning that the upstairs was built according to their daughter-in-law's preferences, but their son's family never lived there for a single day, so they made them sell the house. It was clear that the elderly couple was very reluctant to part with it.

"Yaoyao, this house is so convenient. There's even a toilet and a balcony inside the room."

Lin's mother was very satisfied with the house. Not only was it close to her daughter's workplace, but there were also schools nearby, making it convenient for An'an to study in the future.

"How much did Xiao Chu pay for this house?"

Lin's mother considered that if she only had around 100,000 yuan, she could borrow some from others. She could then owe Xiao Chu another 10,000 or 20,000 yuan and pay her back in two years. For her daughter's sake, she had no choice but to swallow her pride and owe Xiao Chu money.

The house was bought by Huang Wenliang and Chen Yanhuan, and she didn't want her daughter living with them. She worried that Chen Yanhuan would kick her daughter out whenever she was unhappy, and besides, she was currently helping her daughter take care of her child, so she didn't want to put up with Chen Yanhuan's temper.

"160,000"

"What? Why is it so expensive? Where did Xiao Chu get so much money?"

"The homeowners are adamant about the price of 160,000 yuan. They say the furniture in the house cost tens of thousands of yuan when it was first bought. All of it was brought back by their son from outside. Most importantly, the furniture on the second and third floors is all new."

"Mom, I don't know where Xiaochu got so much money. When I asked her, she said she'd tell me when she had time."

The homeowner said they wouldn't have sold for 160,000 if they weren't in a hurry. They initially offered 200,000, and while people who viewed the property were satisfied, they all thought it was too expensive. After a month of unsold property, they lowered the price to 160,000.

"No, I have to ask Xiao Chu."

Lin's mother put down her work and hurried downstairs. Xiao Chu was still young; she couldn't let him go astray for money. Lin Xingyao followed her downstairs, carrying the child.

"Xiao Chu, tell me honestly, where did the money for buying the house come from?"

The Xia family will never give her money again. According to her husband, Xia Guoan's money was all swindled and given to Xiao Chu.

"Aunt, let me hang the quilt up to dry before I talk to you."

"What are you waiting for? Tell me quickly, you're making me anxious!"

Xia Yichu reluctantly put the blanket down, then pulled her aunt and called Lin Xingyao inside to talk.

"This money is mine; I used the money the Xia family gave me to buy land in Pengcheng..."

Xia Yichu recounted the land purchase, but she only mentioned that Xu Shaoyang had no money and approached her about it. She didn't say that she wanted to buy it herself, otherwise, there would be no way to explain it.

"So, I still have about three million yuan on me, so buying my sister a house worth a little over 100,000 yuan is really nothing."

After hearing these words, it took Lin's mother and Lin Xingyao a while to calm down. Three million was a sum of money that they could never earn in their entire lives.

"Xiao Chu, you're too bold! If that land doesn't sell, your money will be wasted."

Lin's mother was both worried and relieved, but thankfully, the final outcome was good. Ever since Xiao Chu stopped liking Chen Shaoping, her luck had improved.

"Aunt, Xu Shaoyang comes from a prominent family. His father was also in the army. His sister works at the tax bureau, and his sister's father-in-law is a leader in the land bureau. He knows some inside information."

I'm not stupid. I must have done my research before partnering with him to buy the land. His family doesn't allow him to do business, and he didn't have enough money to buy the land; otherwise, he wouldn't have approached me with this good opportunity. Don't worry! I won't be scammed.

"Xiao Chu, you're not allowed to tell anyone about the money. You shouldn't have told us. Just keep it a secret. And you, Yao Yao, aren't allowed to tell anyone about this either, including Huang Shaosong."

Lin's mother thought that no one should know that Xiao Chu had so much money. It wasn't that she didn't trust her son-in-law. It was just that Xiao Chu had too much money, so she had to keep a low profile. It wasn't that she was afraid of thieves stealing from her, but rather that she was afraid of thieves eyeing her.

"Mom, don't worry, I know. Xiao Chu, you have your money, but this house is too expensive, I can't accept it."

"Sister, don't worry about keeping it. You've given me so many things since I was little. I still remember when you were in nursing school, you gave me those shoes that I liked."

I ate nothing but vegetables, steamed buns, and porridge for an entire semester, without eating a single piece of meat. When I came home, I was thinner and looked unwell.

When Xia Yichu received the shoes, she was overjoyed and didn't notice anything amiss with her sister. It was at her uncle's funeral in her past life that her aunt pointed at her and berated her, recounting all the kindness the family had shown her and calling her an ingrate.

"Xiao Chu, how did you know about this?"

Lin Xingyao looked at her mother, certain that she hadn't told anyone else about this. Besides her mother, it was her mother who discovered it herself; even her father didn't know.

"I didn't tell Xiao Chu."

"Sis, I found it myself. Just think about how pale you looked at the time."

In her past life, she was blind and heartless, even though there were people around her who were good to her.

"I can't accept it either; those old things aren't worth much."

"Sister, this is a token of my appreciation; it has nothing to do with money."

"But I..."

"Alright, I'll make the decision. Yao Yao, you can take the house. But if anyone asks, just say it's rented. Xiao Chu, your aunt will thank you on your sister's behalf; she really needs a house right now."

As long as Xiao Chu doesn't use all her money to buy a house for her daughter, that's fine, that's what Lin's mother thought. She wanted her daughter to accept the house first, since her daughter needed one.

She and Lin Weidong save some money each month to pay back to Xiao Chu. Xiao Chu doesn't lack money now, so they can save for several more years.

"mom"

"Auntie, I'm afraid that won't work. The house has been on the market for so long, everyone knows that. Here's what we'll do: if anyone asks, just say that I bought the house as a gift to you, Auntie."

Anyway, many people know that I have a biological father in Beijing, so it's not surprising that I can afford a house.

"Okay, this is good."

Lin's mother wholeheartedly agreed, thinking that this would show those who had previously called her foolish how filial Xiao Chu was.

She can also slap the faces of those who laughed at Xiao Chu, letting others know how good Xiao Chu's biological father in Kyoto is to her.
