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

A few days later, when Xia Yichu was walking home from school in the morning, she ran into Wang Mingpeng at her doorstep. He was bruised and swollen, covering his face as he called out to her.

"sister"

"What happened to you? Did you get into a fight?"

"Yeah, do you know where my brother Jie went? I've looked for him, he's not at his rented place, and he hasn't gone home either. I've looked in several places but I can't find him."

Wang Mingpeng's sister was beaten by her brother-in-law Zhang Dazhu. She went home crying and complained. Her brother, sister-in-law, brother, and parents all told her to just bear with it and let it pass.

No one was willing to stand up for his sister, so he got angry and ambushed Zhang Dazhu on his way home, and they got into a fight.

Wang Mingpeng was the least favored child in the family. He lacked food and drink from a young age, was less than 1.7 meters tall, and was very thin. Ever since Wang Zhijie introduced Xia Yichu to buy a house and made two thousand yuan from her...

I often took him out to eat and drink, so Wang Mingpeng gained quite a bit of weight in the past year, but he's still thin. He's also grown a little taller; he used to be short and skinny.

Zhang Dazhu was from the village next to Wang Mingpeng's. He had a brother, both tall and strong. If Wang Mingpeng hadn't ambushed him with a stick, he wouldn't have been able to beat him at all, and wouldn't have gotten the better of him either.

"He had to go out for a while. What do you need him for?"

Xia Yichu quickly realized why he had come to find Wang Zhijie; it was probably because his sister had been beaten by his brother-in-law. In her previous life, Wang Zhijie and Chen Shaoping had gone to Kyoto, but Xia Yichu didn't know why; Chen Shaoping hadn't told her.

All they knew was that when they returned from Kyoto, Wang Mingpeng had been beaten by his brother-in-law and was in the hospital without money for surgery. Wang Zhijie had just returned home when he heard about this and took out all his savings to pay for his surgery.

"I... do you know when he'll be back?"

"have no idea"

Xia Yichu didn't know when Wang Zhijie would return to Pengcheng; it depended on Liu Yaohui's situation.

"It's alright, I'll come back in a few days. I'll be going now."

Wang Mingpeng turned around and walked away dejectedly. Apart from Wang Zhijie, he didn't know who else could give him advice or help him.

"Wait a minute, have you eaten?"

Xia Yichu figured that since Wang Zhijie was working for her now, she'd help Wang Mingpeng out and see if he'd listen to her advice. If he didn't, there was nothing she could do; that was his fate, one he couldn't escape.

"No"

"Let's go to my house first."

Xia Yichu took out her key and opened the door, only to find Wang Mingpeng still standing there dumbfounded.

"Wang Mingpeng, come here quickly."

"Oh"

Wang Mingpeng followed Xia Yichu inside. The lazy cat would only come and circle around Xia Yichu on her first day home. Otherwise, it ignored her and lay down to rest under the tree. The dog, on the other hand, would wag its tail and circle around Xia Yichu.

"Please sit down for a moment, I'll go feed the cats and dogs."

Wang Mingpeng nodded, and the lazy cat finally moved when it heard it was time to eat. Xia Yichu went to the kitchen and took out the porridge she had cooked yesterday from her spatial storage. She added dried fish to the cat's porridge and some meat to the dog's.

Seeing that the animals were eating, Xia Yichu was about to go to the restaurant to pack some food for Wang Mingpeng when she heard someone calling her from the doorway.

"Yi Chu"

Seeing Pei Shizhou walk in carrying things, he realized that he had been delayed by queuing to buy food today. The old man at the school gate told him that Xia Yichu had gone home.

He had gone to the school to look for Xia Yichu these past two days, and the gatekeeper recognized him. He thought Pei Shizhou was Xia Yichu's brother, so he kindly told him.

"I'll pack you some rice and roast pigeon. Song Qihang said the roast pigeon here is especially delicious."

Pei Shizhou completely ignored Wang Mingpeng's presence, while Wang Mingpeng swallowed hard at the mention of roast pigeon. Although he had never eaten it before, he knew it must be delicious just from the name.

"Sis, I'm going home first."

Wang Mingpeng was very sensible; he was the first to suggest going home and stood up to leave.

"What's the rush? I have something to ask you. I ate at school, but he didn't. Can I give him some?"

Hearing this, Pei Shizhou looked at Wang Mingpeng with displeasure. Who was this? He'd never seen him before. Oh right, he thought he'd just heard him call Xia Yichu "sister."

"No, no need, I'm not hungry."

Wang Mingpeng dared not agree; Pei Shizhou's gaze was too frightening.

"Sure, Yichu, you should try the roasted pigeon too, it's really delicious."

Pei Shizhou placed one of the meals in front of Wang Mingpeng, opened the other one, went into Xia Yichu's kitchen to get a bowl and a pair of chopsticks.

He took a pigeon from the lunchbox and put it into his bowl. Luckily, he was worried that it wouldn't be enough, so he bought two pigeons for one serving of rice and cut each one in half.

"Yichu, come and eat."

"it is good"

Seeing that Pei Shizhou had finished preparing, Xia Yichu felt too embarrassed to refuse and came over to eat with him.

"Mingpeng, eat."

"Okay, thank you."

Wang Mingpeng sat there awkwardly, unsure of what to do. Xia Yichu called him, and he finally started eating. Soon, he was engrossed in the food. The roasted pigeon was delicious, crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. The rice was also very tasty, like fried rice but not quite.

"Yichu, would you like some rice too? Claypot rice is also good; I've never had it before."

"No, thank you. I'm too full. I'll eat at the restaurant another time. Where is it located?"

Xia Yichu thought the roasted pigeon was quite good, and the claypot rice looked very appetizing. Wang Mingpeng, who was listening intently nearby, realized that this rice dish was called claypot rice.

"It's a bit far. How about this, I'll take you there to eat this Saturday."

How could Pei Shizhou possibly miss this opportunity? He didn't want to reveal the address.

We'll see when the time comes, we'll talk about it when we have time.

"OK"

No one spoke after that, and Xia Yichu finished eating first. She then carried the lazy cat to the basin of water in the sun and made it lie down, and the dog followed suit. The water she had put in the sun to dry before going to school that morning was a little hot to the touch, so she added a little cool water and touched it again; the temperature was just right.

"Mao Mao, go inside."

The dog obediently jumped in, and the cat glanced at Xia Yichu before slowly following suit.

"I'll do it."

Pei Shizhou came over after finishing his meal and offered to help. Xia Yichu watched as the silly dog ​​played happily in the water, making a mess everywhere.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

She hadn't asked about Wang Mingpeng yet. In her past life, he was clearly beaten into the hospital by his brother-in-law, so why was he only beaten black and blue in this life? Had he escaped a terrible fate, or had that incident not yet happened?

Xia Yichu went in to get the towels she had prepared to bathe and dry the cats and dogs, and came out with a bottle of ointment in her hand.

"Wang Mingpeng, here you go."

"No need, I'll be fine in a few days. Sis, what do you want to ask me?"

Wang Mingpeng didn't take the ointment. He had been beaten countless times since he was a child. His mother would take her anger out on him when she was in a bad mood, and his older and younger brothers would also come home and beat and scold him if they were bullied outside. He couldn't fight back or talk back, otherwise, they would gang up on him and beat him even worse.

"I'll go get a small mirror; you can apply the ointment yourself."

Xia Yichu handed him the ointment, and Wang Mingpeng froze, holding it. He recalled his most wretched moment when he met Wang Zhijie, and how he was once again beaten by his older brother and younger brother, and broke down crying by the river.

Wang Zhijie was fishing by the river when he couldn't stand seeing Wang Mingpeng so pathetic, so he taught him how to fight back. At first, he was too scared and couldn't beat them either.

Wang Zhijie told him that the tough are afraid of the stubborn, and the stubborn are afraid of those who are not afraid of death. As long as he was not afraid and was willing to go all out, he would beat his brother and younger brother into submission once and for all, and they would guarantee that they would never dare to bully him again.
