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

Lin's mother has a daughter of her own, so she wasn't angry about the questions Lin asked and could understand them.

"No need. Xingyuan's salary will definitely be used for his family. We won't take a single penny from him."

She had been saving her eldest son's salary all these years, though it wasn't much. Lin Xingyuan wanted to speak, but his mother kicked him.

"If you have a grandson after you get married, will you continue to help take care of your daughter's child?"

"Don't worry about that. My grandson is seven or eight months old now. It will be several years before Xingyuan gets married and has children. By then, my grandson will be old enough to start school."

Besides, An'an has a grandfather who's about to retire and can help take care of her; it doesn't necessarily have to be me.

Wang Lizhu's cousin-in-law was very satisfied. Lin's mother knew clearly which was more important, her grandson or her granddaughter. However, Wang Lizhu didn't know if they would even approve of her.

"mom"

Lin Xingyuan wanted to say that if he didn't like the other person, they shouldn't waste each other's time. He didn't want to settle, and he couldn't marry just for the sake of marriage.

"Shut up, come on, eat some fruit, don't be shy."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. Auntie, I don't like going to work, and I don't want to go to work after I get married. Also, I don't know how to do housework, and I don't want to do it."

Her cousin-in-law tried to stop Wang Lizhu from speaking, but it was too late. Her husband's cousin was lazy and good-for-nothing, and they had been trying to arrange a marriage many times without success. Before coming, Wang Lizhu's parents had repeatedly told her not to say these things, but they still couldn't stop her.

"this…"

Lin's mother was speechless. She could agree to her not going to work. But if she didn't do housework, wouldn't there still be someone in the house to serve her? Wouldn't that be like marrying a princess?

"I heard your Lin family has been supporting someone from another family for over ten years, never letting her do any housework from childhood to adulthood, and now you're even supporting her through university. I'm going to marry Lin Xingyuan and have his children, so it's not unreasonable for me not to work or do housework!"

Lizhu said confidently that her home was not far from the county town and that she knew about Xia Yichu's situation.

Wang Lizhu's cousin-in-law looked very unhappy. She hadn't wanted to come, but Lizhu's mother had begged her for help. Wang Lizhu was not only lazy and good-for-nothing, but also stupid; she could say anything.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in you," Lin Xingyuan said, standing up in exasperation.

"Starry Night"

Lin's mother held her son's hand; it was his first time meeting someone, and she didn't want things to get too tense.

"Xiao Chu is not an outsider. Our family is willing to take care of her. We have other things to do at home, so we won't keep you here any longer."

Lin's mother was very angry. Her family was raising Xiao Chu, what did it have to do with other people?

"you…"

"Stop talking, sorry, we'll go now."

Wang Lizhu's cousin covered her mouth and dragged her away, vowing never to go out with Wang Lizhu again.

"Mom, I've already said I don't want to meet her, but you keep forcing me."

Xia Yichu brought An'an inside to sleep and didn't go out. She had overheard what the woman said earlier. However, she didn't go outside and wasn't angry.

"It was Mom's fault this time. I didn't understand the situation clearly. Mom promises that in the future, I will definitely understand the other person's situation better before meeting them."

"mom"

"Alright, I must resolve your marriage issue this time I'm back."

Over the next three days, Lin's mother went from being full of confidence to being dejected. Not to mention her son, she couldn't find any of the girls she met in the past few days to like.

Some demanded several thousand yuan in dowry, while others wanted to build a house for the woman's younger brother. One was even more outrageous, proposing a marriage exchange: she would marry Lin Xingyuan, and Xia Yichu would marry her brother. Lin Xingyuan and Xia Yichu were immediately kicked out together.

"Look at all the rubbish you've introduced! Can't you just shut up for a bit?"

Lin's mother felt guilty and dared not refute Lin Weidong's words. Who knew things would turn out this way? The matchmaker's description and the girl who came to meet her were completely different things.

"Mom, I beg you, please don't make me look at any more dates. If you keep pressuring me, I'm going back to the army early."

Hearing this, Xia Yichu immediately perked up. It would be better to go back early so she wouldn't have to watch him with constant anxiety.

"Brother, how can you threaten Aunt? She's been busy all these days for your own good. Aunt, don't worry, we'll meet a few more, and eventually we'll find one we like."

Lin Xingyuan looked at Xia Yichu in bewilderment. She hadn't said that yesterday. She had told him that girls she'd been on numerous blind dates with usually had some issues that prevented them from getting married. She had also advised him to investigate further and not rush into marriage.

"Neither of you, father and son, has a conscience. It's Xiao Chu who understands me the most."

Just then, the shop owner walked in and said, "Xia Yichu, you have a phone call."

"Uncle Lin, do you know who called?"

"It's Xingyao. She wants you to call back immediately; she needs to speak with you urgently."

After saying that, the convenience store owner left. Xia Yichu quickly followed, and the rest of the Lin family, who were also worried, immediately followed as well.

When Xia Yi arrived, the phone had just rung, and the convenience store owner asked her to answer it.

"Feed"

"Xiao Chu, there's a guy named Wang Zhijie who says he has something urgent to tell you. Is he your friend?" Lin Xingyao asked anxiously upon hearing Xia Yichu's voice.

"Yes, when did he call me?"

"I haven't been home for the past few days, and I just got home today when I received his call. He said he had called several times, and he sounded quite anxious."

After Huang Shaosong learned that his mother-in-law had returned home, he coaxed and pleaded with Lin Xingyao to come home for a few days, and she finally returned home today.

"Sis, did he say when he would call?"

He said he'd be waiting for you at your house and asked you to call him right away.

"Okay, then I'll hang up."

Xia Yichu hung up the phone and saw her aunt, uncle, and older brother all looking at her curiously.

"Uncle, it was Wang Zhijie who contacted me. Do you remember him? I have a dog and a cat at home, and I asked him to help take care of them. He probably contacted me about the cat and dog."

Xia Yichu was extremely anxious but dared not show it. Wang Zhijie must have been looking for her about Liu Yaohui.

"Oh, so it's Wang Zhijie looking for you."

"Yes, you guys go home first, I'll make a phone call and come back later."

"OK"

Lin Weidong left first. Lin's mother opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything and left with An'an in her arms.

"Brother, you should go back too!"

Lin Xingyuan didn't want to leave, but Xia Yichu didn't want him to stay.

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

"Um"

After everyone left, Xia Yichu picked up the phone and dialed. The phone was answered immediately after it rang.

"Hello, is this Yichu?"

"Yes"

Is it a convenient time for you to talk now?

"It's convenient, you tell me."

The shop owner was watching TV, a bit far away, so he definitely couldn't hear her.

"The casino owner was arrested, but Liu Yaohui escaped."

Xia Yichu truly couldn't believe things would turn out this way. How could Wang Biao be able to run such a large casino in Pengcheng? She didn't believe he had no powerful backers; how could he be arrested so easily?

"Yichu, are you still listening?"

"Why was Wang Biao arrested?"

"It seems to be related to bribing officials, but the specifics are still unclear."

Wang Zhijie didn't dare to inquire these past few days; almost all the casino staff had been arrested. Even those who went to gamble were arrested. Liu Yaohui had no money, and Wang Biao refused to lend him any more.

So he didn't go that night; instead, he stayed at Liu Yaohui's place, drinking and chatting with him. When he woke up the next day and heard about the casino incident, he immediately ran to check on Liu Yaohui, only to find him gone. The landlord said he had checked out and left.

Because Liu Yaohui owed the casino so much money, the casino would have people watching him, so Wang Zhijie wasn't worried about Liu Yaohui running away. He also didn't expect that Wang Biao would be arrested, allowing Liu Yaohui to take the opportunity to escape.

When did this happen?

"The day after you came home, I called you many times, but you didn't answer."

"I know, don't do anything, let's talk about it when I get to Shenzhen."

Xia Yichu hung up the phone, gave the money, and left. She was in a bad mood and didn't go back.
