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

"Xiao Chu, come and sit down quickly."

"Sister-in-law, I overslept."

Xia Yichu was looking after the child, and it was rare that the child wasn't asleep this time.

"It's nothing. I was worried something had happened to you, so I asked your brother to come find you. Do you want to hug him? We don't know when we'll see each other again."

"Okay, I'll give you a hug."

Xia Yichu carefully picked up the child. The child was very well-behaved and looked at her with open eyes.

"Xiao Chu, how come you're better at holding the baby than I am? Aunt Chunhua taught me several times, but I still don't dare to hold him. Your brother, on the other hand, holds the baby quite well; he's been taking care of the baby lately."

"My sister gave birth during the Chinese New Year, and I took care of the baby for several days."

In fact, she had taken care of children in her previous life. Xu Yumei's daughter, Liu Meilan, became pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to a daughter when she was twenty-one years old. She had just married Liu Yaohui not long before.

Then Xu Yumei said she was free at home since she wasn't working, and offered to let her take care of her newborn baby. At first, she was reluctant, but Xu Yumei left the baby at home and went to work.

Liu Yaohui was rarely home, and after Liu Meilan gave birth, Xu Yumei sent her elsewhere to recuperate. Not wanting others to know about her premarital pregnancy, fearing it would make it difficult for her to remarry, she told everyone that the child was being fostered by relatives.

The baby was crying from hunger at home, but Xia Yichu couldn't bear to feed him formula. The baby was very well-behaved and easy to care for; he would eat and drink his fill and then fall asleep.

At that time, Xia Yichu was actually very bored. She had no job and no friends. She spent a few days with the child and gradually developed feelings for him. Days passed like this, and she raised the child to the age of two.

Later, she frequently fought with Liu Yaohui and his mother over money, and the mother and son were no match for her. Liu Yaohui was often beaten to tears by her. The mother and son had no choice but to give her money several times.

Later, Yang Mengru and Chen Shaoping gave them an idea: to put sleeping pills in Xia Yichu's soup, and then tie her up with a rope while she was asleep.

At that time, Xia Yichu was completely isolated and abandoned by everyone; none of her relatives and friends wanted to talk to her.

He almost broke off relations with Xia Guoan, but Xia Zhiqian couldn't stand it anymore and was afraid that his uncle would be ruined by Xia Yichu. Ignoring Xia Guoan's objections, he forcefully took him elsewhere and promised to keep an eye on Xia Yichu.

His promise was only to ensure Xia Yichu wouldn't die; he didn't care about anything else. Seeing how he was treated by the Liu family made him feel very happy. Every time Xia Guoan asked him about Xia Yichu's situation, he would say she was doing well.

"Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu, what are you thinking about?"

Su Qingyan had no idea what Xia Yichu was thinking, and Xia Yichu didn't respond when she spoke to her.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"The child is asleep, put him in bed. Your brother is calling you to go out for noodles. Didn't you eat breakfast?"

"Yes, okay."

She had been lost in thought about the child for a moment. Liu Meilan was a year older than her, twenty years old this year, and if she did the math, she should be pregnant now.

Unfortunately, that child choked to death when he was three years old. Even though Liu Yaohui and his son later chained him up, the child stayed at home with her because no one else could take care of him.

If it weren't for that child during that time, Xia Yichu would definitely have gone crazy after being imprisoned for so long and beaten.

Once, Xu Yumei and her son didn't return home for two days and two nights, and they were starving. The child somehow found two pieces of candy, gave one to Xia Yichu, and ate the other himself.

Because she was so hungry, she choked while eating. Xia Yichu didn't know any first aid, and her feet were tied. To prevent others from discovering that Xia Yichu was being imprisoned, all the doors and windows of their house were locked when they left.

Moreover, Chen Shaoping had someone install doors and windows with excellent soundproofing, so Xia Yichu's shouts were useless; she could only watch helplessly as her child died in front of her.

"Xiao Chu, do we still need to make noodles?"

Chunhua came out of the kitchen and saw that Xia Yichu had finished eating her noodles and was staring at the bowl, so she thought she wanted to eat more.

"Auntie, no, I'm full."

"Okay, take the dishes inside and wash them."

"Auntie, I can do it myself."

Xia Yichu had no right to ask her to wash the dishes; she was already exhausted from taking care of the children and her sister-in-law.

"I'll take care of the washing. I heard you're going back to Shenzhen today. Hurry up and go inside to chat with your sister-in-law. She talks about you all the time, and she'll miss you even more now that you're gone."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Auntie."

"fine"

Xia Yichu went to Su Qingyan's room. Xia Zhiheng saw her come in, took the baby's diapers, and went out to wash them.

"Xiao Chu, come sit here. I heard from Zhi Heng that you bought two buildings, and you even earned the money yourself. You're amazing!"

Su Qingyan looked at her with admiration, and Xia Yichu said modestly, "Sister-in-law, I was just lucky."

When this matter was brought up, Xia Yichu was considering whether to persuade Su Qingyan to buy a house, since the couple should have some savings.

But thinking about it, I decided against it. Who would be like Pei Shizhou, burning through too much money, and accompany her to buy a house that nobody wanted?

"I was lucky; you saved me both times I was in trouble. Xiao Chu, you must come to Kyoto to see me when you have time."

Su Qingyan felt that the greatest luck in her life was meeting Xia Yichu. Waaah, she was so reluctant to part with her.

Could she apply to teach primary and junior high school students in Pengcheng? Considering that the students would likely come to Beijing after graduation, given how many houses she had bought, she decided to just endure it for a few more years.

"it is good"

"Xiao Chu, what do you think about us buying an apartment in Jingyi Garden together?"

"Okay, sister-in-law, you can trust me. I've always been lucky. The houses in that area will go up in price sooner or later."

When you go to buy a house, just say you were referred by the person who bought two buildings, and ask them to give you a discount. I bought mine for 860 yuan per square meter.

I don't know if Zhiheng will agree to you buying a house there. You should ask him. If it doesn't work out, that's fine too. I'll give you one later.

Xia Yichu was surprised that Su Qingyan would bring up the idea of ​​buying a house with her. Although the couple had jobs, they probably didn't have much savings. Xia Zhiheng wasn't like Xia Zhiqian, who was in business and couldn't afford to contribute a lot of money.

However, buying a house shouldn't be a problem. You can sell it at the end of next year or the year after. You can make three or four times your initial investment, and recoup your money in the short term.

"I trust you. The money is in my hands. He won't disagree. He listens to me. Your brother wouldn't dare to object."

Su Qingyan knew that Xia Zhiheng wouldn't object; he usually supported her decisions. She hadn't really thought that far ahead; she just wanted to buy a house together with Xia Yichu's, and whether it made money or not wasn't important.

"What is it that I dare not object to?" Xia Zhiheng said as he washed the diapers and walked in.

"You've come at the right time. I'm thinking of buying an apartment in Jingyi Garden, the same place where Xiao Chu bought her apartment. It's my own idea to buy it; Xiao Chu wouldn't let me."

Su Qingyan quickly explained, lest her mother-in-law find out about the money loss and blame Xiao Chu. Xia Zhiheng certainly wouldn't think that way, but her mother-in-law might.

"Okay, whatever you like, I'll do it."

Su Qingyan winked at Xia Yichu happily, her expression like that of a little girl; it's so different when someone dotes on you.

For a fleeting moment, Xia Yichu felt envious, but she quickly banished the thought. She was rich and beautiful; she couldn't be hung up on just one person. What if he, like Chen Shaoping, was only after her money?

"Then take the money and go buy it this afternoon."

"No need to rush. We'll go see it together after you finish your postpartum confinement."

You still have to go and see the houses yourself before buying one, and only buy one if it catches your eye. You can't be so hasty.

"No need to look, just buy me the house closest to Xiao Chu. It's a pity Xiao Chu is going back to Pengcheng today, otherwise I would have let her go with you. I'm sure I'd like the one she chooses too."

Xia Zhiheng felt a little jealous when he saw his wife look at Xia Yichu with sparkling eyes after she finished speaking.
