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

An hour later, after dinner, Pei Shizhou and Zhou Qiangguo went home. Lin Weinan was washing dishes in the kitchen, while Xia Yichu and her aunt were watching TV and chatting inside.

"Xiao Chu, how did you and Pei Shizhou meet?"

"His maternal grandfather and Grandpa Xia were good friends; we met at the Xia family home."

"Xiao Chu, you're still planning to keep your kidnapping a secret from us."

Lin Weinan finished washing the dishes and came in, just in time to hear Xia Yichu talking about this. He hadn't asked her earlier because there were other people around, but he was just about to come in and ask her.

"Kidnapping? Xiao Chu, how did you get kidnapped? Where were you kidnapped? When did this happen?" Wang Liujie asked worriedly.

"Auntie, I'm fine, don't worry."

Why is Pei Shizhou so gossipy, telling her uncle about her kidnapping? Seeing her uncle and aunt's anxious expressions, Xia Yichu gritted her teeth in hatred.

"It's okay, but what if something happens? Have you thought about us and your uncle and aunt?"

"Uncle, that was an accident."

"What accident? It was clearly you who acted like a hero and disregarded your own safety to save your cousin's wife, whom you've only known for a few days."

Xia Yichu, have you lost your mind? What can a little girl like you do if she's kidnapped? They've already let you go so they can report it, and you still go after them? Are you stupid?

Xia Yichu lowered her head, not daring to refute. She couldn't possibly tell her uncle that she owed Su Qingyan in her past life, nor could she say that Su Qingyan had a spatial ability and that she would definitely be safe.

Having been given a second chance at life, she cherished it and wouldn't do anything she wasn't sure of. This Pei Shizhou, he actually explained it so clearly to her uncle.

"What are you doing? Speak properly, why are you being so fierce? Xiao Chu, your uncle is just anxious, he doesn't mean to be fierce to you."

"Auntie, I know it's all my fault for making you worry."

Lin Weinan sat on the sofa, speechless with anger. He couldn't hit her or scold her; he could only sulk in silence. He was angry that Xia Yichu had only known the Xia family for a few days, yet she had opened her heart to them.

Have they considered how devastating it would be for anyone in the Lin family if something happened to her? They had just lost their younger sister more than ten years ago, and even with their niece Xia Yichu by their side, it took the family a long time to recover.

His parents passed away one after the other because they couldn't recover from the shock. He didn't approve of Xia Yichu associating with the Xia family, and he especially disapproved of Xia Yichu accepting Xia Guoan's house and money. However, his older brother said that the Xia family owed Xiao Chu this, so why shouldn't she accept it?

Moreover, Xia Guoan has never remarried and only has one child, Xiao Chu. If one day he suddenly decides to ask Xiao Chu to take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days, it would be unpleasant regardless of whether Xiao Chu actually does it.

Taking over his assets is a different story; it's all about the money and the house. We'll have Xiao Chu find him a caregiver to look after him, and she can just visit him occasionally.

"You can't be so impulsive next time. Everyone is worried about you. Xiao Cheng isn't with you right now, so you can't do anything rash. You have to prioritize your own safety."

"Auntie, I understand."

"Okay, I'll go take a shower first."

Before leaving, Wang Liujie gave Xia Yichu a wink, signaling her to coax Lin Weinan.

"Uncle, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."

Xia Yichu sat down next to Lin Weinan, took his arm, and apologized. Lin Weinan was still angry and ignored her. He couldn't forgive her so easily, otherwise he was afraid she wouldn't learn her lesson.

Xia Yichu had no choice but to resort to her ultimate move, refusing to hold his arm. She sniffled, her eyes slowly reddening, and large tears rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed.

"Xiao Chu, don't cry, your uncle isn't angry."

Hearing the crying, Lin Weinan turned his head and hurriedly wiped away Xia Yichu's tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears she shed.

"Xiao Chu, don't cry. Your uncle is just angry that you didn't care about your own safety. He doesn't mean to blame you."

"Uncle, waaaaah..."

Xia Yichu initially only wanted to shed a couple of tears to appease her uncle. But when she thought about how her uncle had died young in her previous life and she hadn't even seen him one last time, she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

"Why is Xiao Chu crying? Get away from me. It's ridiculous for a grown man to be so petty. Xiao Chu already knows she was wrong, and you're still making her cry."

Wang Liujie pulled Lin Weinan away and then hugged and comforted Xia Yichu. Lin Weinan stood to the side, at a loss, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Auntie, hiccup, it's not my uncle's fault," Xia Yichu explained to Wang Liujie while crying.

"Okay, okay, it's not his fault. Stop crying. If you keep crying, your eyes will be swollen and red again tomorrow."

"Okay, I won't cry." Xia Yichu wiped away her tears and smiled.

"Auntie, I want to take a shower."

Xia Yichu felt ashamed and couldn't face her uncle and aunt. At least in her previous life, she lived to be over thirty and could cry endlessly.

"Okay, go ahead!"

She went to take a shower, and Wang Liujie scolded Lin Weinan again to vent her anger. Girls are delicate and thin-skinned; they can't compare to boys.

Although Lin Weinan felt wronged, he didn't dare to say anything and stood there silently.

The next morning, Xia Yichu waited until her uncle and aunt went to work before getting up. She ate the meat buns her uncle had brought back from the cafeteria, then took out the straw mat and blankets she had slept on to wash, and also washed her aunt's blankets.

She also cleaned the house again, and then it was time to cook. She cooked lunch, and after lunch she was going to the county town to take a bus to the provincial capital, where she planned to stay overnight and then fly back to Pengcheng the next day.

"I'm relieved to have you and Xiao Chu going back together."

Xia Yichu had just finished cooking when she heard her uncle's voice from outside.

"Little Uncle"

"Xiao Chu, Shi Zhou also wants to go to Pengcheng, so he can go back with you."

Lin Weinan said happily, but Xia Yichu was not happy. She glared at Pei Shizhou and went to the kitchen to bring out the dishes.

Pei Shizhou awkwardly touched his nose, certain that Xia Yichu had found out about what he had let slip, and that's why she was angry with him.

"Shizhou, that Xiao Chu is still young and doesn't know any better, don't take it to heart."

Lin Weinan knew why Xia Yichu treated Pei Shizhou this way, so he could only smile and smooth things over.

"Uncle Lin, it's alright. I'll go back first and come back after I finish eating."

Pei Shizhou ran into Lin Weinan on his way back from the hospital in the morning and told him that he couldn't have surgery on his hand and also wanted to return to Pengcheng.

Lin Weinan was delighted to hear this, as he was worried about Xiao Chu going back alone. He invited him to go back with Xiao Chu, and Pei Shizhou happily agreed.

This morning, when he heard from the doctor that he couldn't have surgery on his hand either, his first thought wasn't disappointment. Instead, he was actually quite happy thinking that this would allow him to go to Shenzhen with Xia Yichu.

"Stay for dinner"

"No, Uncle Lin, Uncle Zhou is still waiting for me!"

Pei Shizhou was afraid of upsetting Xia Yichu, so he didn't dare stay for dinner. Zhou Qiangguo returned with him from the hospital and went back to his office to handle work. He hadn't told Zhou Qiangguo about going to Pengcheng with Xia Yichu later, so he wanted to tell him now.

"Alright then! Come over right after you finish eating, and I'll have someone take you to the county town to catch a bus."

"it is good"

Pei Shizhou walked briskly to find Zhou Qiangguo. Yesterday he was still regretting that Xia Yichu had to go back so soon, but today he was really happy to be able to go back with her.

"Uncle Zhou, are you still busy?"

"It'll be ready soon. Wait for me a moment, we'll go to the cafeteria for lunch together."

"Okay, no rush."

Ten minutes later, Zhou Qiangguo put down his work and said, "Okay, let's go."
