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

"No, you can't sleep here. And you absolutely can't take anything. If we get caught, our lives are over."

"Mom, why are you so timid? You came here and saw that Xia Guofang has more than twenty gold necklaces. How could she possibly notice if we only take one or two?"

"But…"

"There's no 'but' about it. Aren't these three styles similar? And don't the others look similar too? If we take one away, Xia Guofang definitely won't know."

Xu Yumei looked at the three heart-shaped gold necklace pendants on her son's hand. The styles were indeed similar, only the sizes were different.

"This isn't a good idea."

As someone who frequently stole daily necessities, snacks, and health supplements from Xia Guofang, Xu Yumei was deeply tempted.

"There's nothing wrong with it, Mom. It's not convenient for you to hide things at the Luo family's house, so let me keep this gold necklace for now."

Let's take one first and see if Xia Guofang notices. If she does, I'll return it immediately. Just say you found it in a corner and give it back to her.

"I can take it, but I have conditions."

It's just a necklace; once it's taken, it's gone. Xu Yumei can afford to pay for it. As her son said, she can just return it if Xia Guofang finds out.

"Mom, tell me."

"You must go back to your own room to sleep, you can't sleep in their room."

Xu Yumei didn't trust her son, fearing he was too greedy and would have trouble explaining himself if he took too much.

Liu Yaohui readily agreed, "Okay, I'll go back now."

Liu Yaohui took one of the heart-shaped pendant necklaces in his hand and went downstairs. After her son left, Xu Yumei tidied up the room, took out the key, locked the room, and then went back to sleep.

When Liu Yaohui came out, Xia Yichu hid in her spatial dimension. She only left through the window after Xu Yumei fell asleep.

It seems Liu Yaohui hasn't changed his ways and is still gambling in Kyoto. He even lied to his mother, saying he was doing business with a friend. The mother and son are just like in their past lives, stealing things from Xia Guofang. Since Xia Guofang is too stupid to notice, Xia Yichu doesn't mind helping her out.

The next day, Xia Yichu and Lin Xingyuan bought some fruit and health supplements and went to visit Grandpa and Grandma Xia.

"Old man, do you think Xiao Chu will come to Kyoto? I miss her a lot."

Grandma Xia then took out the "Eight Treasures of Beijing" that Grandpa Xia had bought for her during summer vacation. She also took out the candies, cookies, and several kinds of fruit and laid them on the table, something she did every day since the start of summer vacation.

Grandma Xia arranged all these things on a plate, all prepared for Xia Yichu. The other items would last for months without spoiling. Only the fruit would rot in two or three days, and the elderly couple would eat it as soon as they saw it wasn't fresh and then buy new ones.

"Shizhou said she was going to see her uncle and was waiting for her brother to come home together. School starts in a week, so she probably won't be coming to Kyoto. It's okay, she'll come to see us when she has time."

Grandpa Xia comforted Grandma Xia, saying that although he also wanted Xia Yichu to come to Kyoto to see them, they had no right to demand that Xia Yichu come to see them.

"Sigh, it's all because my body is weak. Otherwise, we could go to Pengcheng to see Xiao Chu."

"Alright, don't overthink it. Qingyan is due to give birth soon, what did Yunxia say?"

Grandma Xia gets angry just thinking about it; her granddaughter-in-law is about to give birth. Yang Yunxia is already too busy at work, and after get off work she still has to take care of her mother. Wang Fengxian tripped and fell in front of her house a few months ago during a rainy day.

She broke her leg, had surgery, and is now bedridden and needs care. Wang Fengxian has five grandsons and one granddaughter, only three of whom are still in school. Yang Xingwang is in prison, and Yang Xingyu and Yang Liyan have nothing to do. Yang Liyan only takes care of Wang Fengxian during the day, while Yang Yunxia takes care of her at night.

Grandma Xia usually doesn't say much, as long as Yang Yunxia is willing to take care of her mother and isn't afraid of hard work. But now that Qingyan is due to give birth in a few days, she's not worried at all.

"She asked Zhiheng and his wife to hire a nanny to take care of Qingyan, saying that she would pay for the nanny."

"Qingyan is having a baby, and her mother-in-law isn't taking care of it. Wang Fengxian still has the Yang family to help take care of her," Grandpa Xia said, frowning.

"Yeah! I wonder what she's thinking? But Qingyan doesn't seem to have any objections."

"Never mind, as long as they don't have any objections, old woman, I'm going out for a walk."

Grandpa Xia stood up, put his hands behind his back, and prepared to leave. Just then, Xia Yichu called from the doorway, "Grandpa Xia, Grandma Xia!"

Grandpa Xia quickly went out to look, "Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu, it really is you, your old lady Xiao Chu is here."

He saw Xia Yichu and happily went back to tell Grandma Xia. He then came out again and told Xia Yichu to come in quickly. Only then did he notice that there was a man following Xia Yichu.

"Xiao Chu, who is this?"

"Hello Grandpa Xia, I am Lin Xingyuan, Xiao Chu's older brother."

"Hello, you are Weidong's eldest son who is serving in the army."

"right"

Grandma Xia, annoyed by Grandpa Xia's nagging, came over and pushed him away. Then, holding Xia Yichu's hand in one hand and Lin Xingyuan's hand in the other, she said, "Come on, let's go eat something with Grandma."

Grandma Xia told them to sit down, and then pushed all the Beijing snacks, cookies, candies, and fruits on the table in front of them.

"eat"

Xia Yichu didn't stand on ceremony and picked up the jujube flower cake to eat, then gave her older brother a lucky cake. She also gave one to each of her grandparents, who happily accepted it and ate it together.

"Xiao Chu, when are you coming to Kyoto? Where are you staying? Your sister-in-law asked Xiao Heng to help you tidy up the house during the summer vacation, so you can go back and stay there."

Actually, when Xia Zhiheng had time, Su Qingyan would ask him to clean Xia Yichu's room. She wanted Xia Yichu to be able to come home whenever she visited Kyoto.

"Grandma Xia, we arrived at seven o'clock last night and checked into a guesthouse. Since my brother helped me tidy up the house, I'll check out of the guesthouse and go home to stay later."

The main reason is that the courtyard house is closer to Xia Guofang's home than the guesthouse, making it more convenient for him to stay.

"Okay, it's comfortable staying at home. Xiao Chu's older brother is coming to Kyoto for a few more days this time. Since Xiao Qian is back and has some free time, I'll have him take you out for some fun."

Before Lin Xingyuan could speak, Xia Yichu said, "Grandma Xia, no need. My older brother is going back to his unit in a couple of days. By the way, has your wife given birth yet?"

Xia Yichu didn't want Lin Xingyuan to go out; there were even more cars in Kyoto, and it was more dangerous.

"Not yet, Xiao Heng said the due date is in the next few days. Qingyan's baby is so lucky to have you, you..."

"Grandma Xia, I'd like some tea."

Xia Yichu interrupted Grandma Xia before she could say anything, because she couldn't let her older brother know that she had been kidnapped.

"I'll go get you some tea."

"Then I'll go boil some water."

Xia Yichu seized the opportunity to go to the kitchen and boil a pot of water from her spatial dimension. She took out some to make tea and put the rest into the water bottles of Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia.

"Come on, have some tea." Grandpa Xia brewed a cup of tea for each of them.

"Old man, hurry up and go buy groceries. Xiao Chu and her older brother are having lunch here. No, let's go out to eat."

"Grandma Xia, I'd like to visit my sister-in-law. I'll come to your house for dinner another day."

Grandma Xia thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you must come to our house for dinner tomorrow."
