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

When the three of them arrived at Luo's house, Xu Yumei had already cooked the meal.

"Aunt Mei, when are we going to eat? I'm starving! Why isn't my mom back yet?"

Luo Yuekai and Luo Yuechuan were sitting on the sofa watching TV. They had been back for a while and had finished their homework.

"Xiao Kai, wait a little longer, your mom has gone out and will be back soon."

"Hmph, all my mom does is spend money. What's wrong with her? She's probably shopping again. She's such a spendthrift, my dad will dump her sooner or later. He'll give her to me..."

"Luo Yuekai, do you want to get beaten up?"

Xia Guofang pushed open the door and came in with a face full of anger. They listened at the door for a while.

"Aunt Mei, save me!"

When Luo Yuekai saw his mother and aunt come in, he immediately ran over and hid behind Xu Yumei. Xu Yumei was a little nervous when she saw Xia Zhiheng, but thankfully she didn't say anything.

She would only occasionally say something to guide Luo Yuekai, but with Luo Yuechuan around, she dared not utter a single word, afraid that he would notice something was amiss.

Xu Yumei always gets nervous whenever she sees Xia Zhiheng; his eyes are very sharp. It's as if he can see right through her every move and every purpose.

"Auntie, Brother Zhiheng."

Luo Yuechuan stood up and greeted them, ignoring his mother and brother's behavior. This kind of thing happened frequently at home, and his mother always came out worse off.

He used to help his mother discipline his younger brother because his brother was indeed in the wrong. However, one time afterward, his mother actually turned around and accused him of having a bad relationship with his brother, implying that he was happy to see her hitting his brother.

It made him laugh in anger. After that, he stopped interfering in his mother and brother's affairs, and his mother started to complain about his indifference.

If he hadn't yet eaten and if his aunt and cousin weren't there, he would probably be staying in his room under the pretense of studying.

"Luo Yuekai, come out here."

"No, I'm telling the truth. You can't do anything but spend money."

Luo Yuekai hid behind Xu Yumei and started playing a game of tag with Xia Guofang. Xu Yumei protected him, and Xia Guofang couldn't catch him for a while.

"Madam, Xiao Kai is hungry. Shall we eat first?"

Luo Yuekai was making faces at Xia Guofang behind Xu Yumei's back, which Xia Zhiheng couldn't stand anymore.

"Xiao Kai, what kind of skill is it to hide behind a woman? Didn't you say you wanted to be a policeman like me when you grew up? With a coward like you, how can you be a policeman?"

"Brother Zhiheng, I'm not afraid of my mom, and I'm not afraid of her either."

Luo Yuekai released Xu Yumei's clothes from behind and stepped out. Xu Yumei, as if possessed, grabbed Luo Yuekai's hand and made him hide behind her.

"Aunt Mei, you shouldn't interfere when my aunt is disciplining her child. By constantly protecting Xiao Kai, you're harming him."

At such a young age, he disrespects his elders, spouts nonsense, and slanders his own mother.

Xu Yumei was pale and looked utterly ashamed. Her hands had reacted faster than her brain; she knew she shouldn't have grabbed Luo Yuekai at that moment, and by the time she realized it, it was too late.

When Luo Yuekai saw Xu Yumei being criticized, he became agitated and rushed out, shouting, "You're not allowed to talk about Aunt Mei like that! My mom is such a spendthrift, all she does is dress up and go shopping all day, she doesn't care about anything at home!"

Xia Guofang was so angry that he raised his hand to hit Luo Yuekai, but Xu Yumei stopped him.

"Madam, please don't hit Xiao Kai, it's all my fault."

"You're making my aunt seem like one of those wicked stepmothers. You and Xiao Kai look more like a mother and son."

Xia Guofang felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. Xiao Kai was only two years old when Xu Yumei came to work as her nanny. At that time, her husband Luo Hao's business was just starting to take off, and he was constantly busy.

Xia Guofang felt sorry for Luo Hao and suggested hiring a nanny to take care of the child so that she could help her husband.

Don't let her current apparent lack of activity fool you; when she first started her business, it was incredibly tough and tiring. It was only over the past few years that her business grew significantly and gradually stabilized.

Later, Luo Hao said that her second brother hadn't been home for a whole year, and her eldest brother had passed away early. He meant that neither of them could be busy outside; one of them had to stay home to take care of the two elderly people.

Ultimately, it was decided that Xia Guofang could stay in Kyoto. She also had some business to manage there, so she could look after the children and care for the two elderly people while managing the business. The children also had a nanny to help, so she wouldn't be overwhelmed.

Two years ago, Grandma Xia was unwell and underwent surgery, almost not making it through. Luo Hao took care of her for over half a month, and later simply told Xia Guofang to stop doing everything. He would hire someone else for business matters, allowing Xia Guofang to focus entirely on caring for her mother.

The couple's health has been good these past two years, and their children have all grown up. So Xia Guofang has had more free time to go shopping and buy things when she has nothing to do.

Luo Hao had no objection to this, saying that Xia Guofang had suffered a lot following her for so many years, and now she could do whatever made her happy.

"Xiao Kai, who told you these things? Your mother has never had a good life. It's just that things have gotten a little better in recent years. Besides, others can talk about your mother, but you and your brother have no right to do so."

You two were born with great difficulty by her, and she raised you with great care and hardship. If you speak ill of your mother like this, who knows how your classmates and friends will laugh at you behind your back.

They wouldn't want to be your friend either. Someone who can slander even their own mother must have a terrible character.

Xu Yumei was very nervous. These were words spoken by other people's nannies in front of her, but fortunately, she only listened and didn't agree. Because Luo Yuekai was too stupid, she was afraid he would let something slip, so she only talked about how capable so-and-so's mother was in front of him.

"Brother Zhiheng, I... I know I was wrong. I didn't say anything bad about my mom in front of my classmates, really. It was when I went out with Aunt Mei that Aunt Liu said bad things about my mom in front of us, and I remembered it."

Xia Guofang was furious. The "Aunt Liu" her youngest son mentioned was the neighbor's nanny. Whenever they met, Aunt Liu would greet her with a big smile and always compliment her on her youth and beauty. It's true what they say, you can know a person's face but not their heart.

"I believe in you. From now on, no matter who speaks ill of your mother in front of you, you not only cannot listen to them, but you must also protect your mother, understand? Go and apologize to your mother properly."

"Okay, Mom, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."

Xia Guofang burst into tears, covering her mouth and sobbing. Over the years, her youngest son had driven her half to death with anger, and this was the first time he had apologized to her.

"Mom, don't cry."

Luo Yuekai used his chubby little hands to wipe away his mother's tears, and Xia Guofang felt a little embarrassed and stopped crying.

"Mom, don't cry. You'll never be angry with me again, okay?"

"Mom, I'm so hungry, can we eat now?"

Luo Yuekai's stomach was growling with hunger. He hadn't eaten anything when he got home from school because Aunt Mei said there would be several meat dishes for dinner.

"You little glutton, you're getting so fat you're practically a pig, all you do is eat." Xia Guofang affectionately pinched Luo Yuekai's nose.

"mom"

"Okay, Zhiheng, let's go eat. We can talk after we finish eating."

"OK"

Seeing Luo Yuechuan standing still, seemingly lost in thought, Xia Zhiheng walked over, put his arm around his shoulder, and said, "Let's go eat."
