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

A few more peaceful days passed, and Pei Shizhou had left Pengcheng on business. Xia Yichu came home from school as usual. It had been a long time since she had cooked for herself, so she planned to cook for herself today.

On Sundays, when she has free time, she goes to the market to buy extra vegetables and meat to store in her spatial storage. When she wants to cook, she can simply take them out of her storage and cook them. Just as she arrived at her front door, the phone rang, and she immediately opened the door to answer it.

"Ms. Xia, you finally answered the phone."

"May I ask who you are...?"

Xia Yichu usually gives her phone number to people she knows, and those people wouldn't call her Miss Xia. So she wondered who this was; it was the 1990s, after all, there couldn't be phone scams.

"Miss Xia, I work for President Pei. Wang Mingpeng ignored my advice and just took leave to go home. He even asked me to borrow 100 yuan. President Pei gave me your phone number and said that if Wang Mingpeng takes leave, I must call you."

He was in charge of Pei Shizhou's warehouse, and Pei Shizhou told him to try his best to keep Wang Mingpeng from leaving. If he insisted on leaving, he should call Xia Yichu to let him know.

"Okay, thank you. How long was he gone?"

Pei Shizhou was very thoughtful in his actions, and Xia Yichu was quite grateful to him.

"You left after two hours, around 3 PM. I've been calling you but no one has answered."

"Okay, I understand."

Xia Yichu hung up the phone with a dark face, took out some food from her space for the cats and dogs, locked the door, and took a taxi straight to Fushan Village, which is next to Luosha Village.

"Master, go to Fushan Village, hurry, I have urgent business."

Xia Yichu planned to visit Zhang Dazhu's house first, since Wang Mingpeng's older sister was married there. Wang Mingpeng had already left two hours ago; she wasn't sure if she'd make it back in time.

"it is good"

It's almost 5 PM now, and it won't be until after 6 PM at the earliest. I hope he can use his brain and not trust his family so much.

The day after Wang Mingpeng was taken away by Pei Shizhou, Wang Zhijie happened to call Xia Yichu. She told Wang Zhijie about Wang Mingpeng, and Wang Zhijie was very grateful to her.

She also told her that Liu Yaohui hadn't had money to go to the casino lately and was sleeping in his rented room during the day. At night, he would wander around the area near the house where his mother worked. Xia Yichu guessed that Liu Yaohui was looking for an opportunity to steal Xia Guofang's things.

Wang Zhijie said he works as a temporary worker on the construction site, earning two yuan an hour. He only works four hours a day in the afternoon, so he has time to cook for Liu Yaohui.

She buys him breakfast in the morning, cooks for him in the evening, and does his laundry. Xia Yichu felt embarrassed, but Wang Zhijie said it was nothing and he wasn't tired at all.

Xia Yichu reassured Wang Zhijie that Wang Mingpeng would be fine, but he got into trouble just a few days later.

"Miss, we've arrived."

"Okay, master, I need to go back in a bit. Can you wait for me for a while? We can discuss the price."

"Sure! Give me forty yuan upfront, but I'll have to pay extra if it takes too long."

"Okay, no problem. Park the car here and wait for me for a while."

Xia Yichu paid the money, got out of the car, and took out a flashlight from her spatial storage to shine the light. She had never been to Fushan Village before, and at a glance, there were more buildings here than in Luosha Village.

How strange, she walked into the village and didn't see a single person, not even a child. Finally, she heard someone humming a song behind her. Xia Yichu stood still and waited for someone to come over. A man came into view.

"Hello, could you tell me where Zhang Dazhu lives?"

"Yichu, what brings you here?"

Xia Yichu stared blankly at the man in front of her. He looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

"Don't you remember me? I'm Brother Jie's friend. I used to work for you with Brother Jie and the others."

Xia Yichu remembered that she had only seen them that day, and Wang Zhijie had never introduced their names.

"Oh, I remember now, your name is..."

My name is Huang Wei.

"Huang Wei, are you from Fushan Village?"

"No, it's my maternal grandmother. By the way, what did you say you wanted to see Zhang Dazhu about? He's not a good person."

Zhang Dazhu's family is unreasonable, and they have a bad reputation in the surrounding area.

"Great! Take me to Zhang Dazhu's house first, and I'll talk to you later."

"Okay, come with me, their house is in the last row."

Huang Wei has no interest in Xia Yichu now, knowing he's not good enough for her. He didn't deliberately talk to her, and obediently led the way for her.

There are six rows of houses in Fushan Village. After walking for a while, Huang Wei said, "The house in front of you with a crowd of people is Zhang Dazhu's house. It seems like they're causing trouble again tonight."

Huang Wei wasn't surprised to see so many people at his door. People would come to Zhang Dazhu's house every few days with all sorts of messy things, so Xia Yichu quickly ran over.

"Damn it, you're asking for it! How dare you attack me while I'm drunk. Your sister is nothing..."

A man was hitting Wang Mingpeng with a stick as thick as an arm, cursing as he did so. Wang Mingpeng covered his head and ran. Another person was blocking Wang Mingpeng's path, stopping him no matter where he ran, leaving him nowhere to escape. They were toying with Wang Mingpeng.

"Mingpeng, you shouldn't have hit your brother-in-law. Kneel down and apologize to him, and he'll promise not to hit you again."

A woman in her early twenties, with a bruised and swollen face, spoke up from the side. She was Wang Mingpeng's older sister, Wang Mingjiao, who was twenty-six years old this year.

A few days ago, I heard from someone that her husband, Zhang Dazhu, was having an affair with a widow from another village. When she confronted Zhang Dazhu, they argued. That night, she wouldn't let him go out drinking, and he beat her, making her cry all night.

The next day, she went back to her parents' home, hoping her three brothers would come and support her. Unexpectedly, apart from her second brother, everyone told her to put up with it, so she had no choice but to stay at their house.

The next afternoon, Zhang Dazhu came to her house. Wang Mingjiao thought he was coming to take her home. Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, he slapped her twice in front of her family. Her family watched her being beaten without daring to utter a sound.

Later, Zhang Dazhu said that he had been beaten by her second brother the night before, and Wang Mingjiao indeed saw some injuries on his face. She was initially quite pleased and grateful that her second brother had stood up for her.

But Zhang Dazhu demanded that her family hand over her second brother, saying that if they didn't, he would vent his anger on her and demand a divorce. Upon hearing the word "divorce," she panicked instantly.

She inwardly resented her second brother for meddling in her affairs. She waited for him at home for several days, while her other two brothers also helped look for him. But several days passed, and they still couldn't find him.

She could only go home and see what was happening. As soon as she arrived back at the Zhang family home, she saw her clothes had been thrown next to the pigsty. They even tried to chase her away when they saw her return.

Only after she repeatedly assured them that she would find her second brother to apologize did the Zhang family agree to let her stay temporarily.

"Big sister, he made me crawl between his legs and kowtow to him ten times."

Wang Mingpeng stopped running and looked at his older sister in disbelief. Xia Yichu, seeing Wang Mingpeng still lively and energetic, wasn't worried and joined a group of people watching the spectacle. A thousand repetitions of instruction are not as effective as one demonstration; Wang Mingpeng just needed a good beating.

"Then just do as I say, it won't hurt you."

Is his older sister even speaking human language? If she really did that, how would he face anyone afterward? Well, he's like this because he was tricked into coming here by his sister.

Here's what happened; it's all my fault for being so impulsive. Wang Mingpeng was worried about his older sister and thought he'd just call her back, but he wouldn't actually go back.

He first called the village store to inquire about the situation, and the store owner said that his older sister had gone back to her husband's home and was not in the village. He then asked the store owner to have his son secretly go to the next village to call his older sister to come to the village to answer the phone.

The two villages are not far apart; a child can run back and forth in twenty minutes. He called home half an hour later and finally spoke to his older sister.

When his older sister first asked him where he was, Wang Mingpeng only said that he had found a job and was working, without giving her a detailed address.

Then, she told him that Zhang Dazhu beat her every day, and if this continued, he would definitely beat her to death. Her family didn't care about her and wanted Wang Mingpeng to come to their house and secretly take her away.

Wang Mingpeng agreed, and after they arranged a time, he asked for leave to come back.
