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

"I'll give it a try, Xiaohui. This is the last time. If you borrow money from loan sharks to gamble again, they'll kill you, and I won't be able to get the money back."

Xu Yumei didn't tell Liu Yaohui that she had money; she only told him to borrow from Luo Haoxia and Guo Fang.

Liu Yaohui had no doubt that whenever he got into trouble and needed money to settle things, his mother would always tell him to go to Xia Guofang to get his salary in advance, and she would always have enough money to settle things for him.

"Mom, I know I was wrong. I'll never gamble again."

Liu Yaohui was truly frightened today and dared not think about winning back his losses. Now he just wanted to pay back the money and save himself.

"Xiao Hui, go home and get some sleep. Come find me again at 7:30 tomorrow night. I have to go back now."

Xu Yumei glanced at her watch; it was already past nine. Fortunately, Luo Yuekai was all grown up now and didn't need her help with bathing anymore. But she was worried that Luo Yuekai might look for her after being out for so long.

"Mom, you must borrow the money. I don't want to become disabled."

"Don't worry! I'm sure I can borrow the money."

Liu Yaohui watched his mother leave with reluctance, only returning to his rented room to sleep dejectedly once she was out of sight. He hadn't slept for a day and a night, and now that his mother was willing to pay off his debts, he could finally go back and get a good night's sleep.

Moreover, he can't go anywhere now, he has no money, and the casino has assigned two people to follow him 24 hours a day. Xia Yichu also discovered that Liu Yaohui was being followed.

Xia Guofang had just reported the theft to the police today, and she didn't dare go to the Luo family's house with Xu Yumei. Otherwise, she would have been happy just thinking about having Xu Yumei steal her bankbook and leaving her without money to pay off Liu Yaohui's loan shark loan tomorrow.

Xia Yichu thought for a moment and decided to go back to the courtyard house to sleep. She couldn't let a small matter cause a bigger problem. She couldn't let the police suspect her, especially with Xia Zhiheng, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, present. She dared not act rashly; the current situation of Xu Yumei and her son was already quite good.

Bang bang bang!

In the morning, Xia Guofang was awakened by a knock on the door downstairs. She picked up her watch from the cabinet and saw that it was 8:55 a.m.

She was sorting through her jewelry last night, and thought about it for most of the night, wondering how many she had lost. She didn't fall asleep until two or three in the morning.

"Sister Mei, Sister Mei, are you there?"

Xia Guofang called out several times, but Xu Yumei didn't come in, so she got out of bed. Meanwhile, there was a constant banging on the downstairs door. Xia Guofang stormed downstairs.

"Ugh, who is it? Stop knocking."

There was no one downstairs; her two sons were at school, so Xu Yumei should have been back from grocery shopping by now.

"Stop knocking."

Xia Guofang opened the door, and a stick suddenly came crashing down on her. Xia Guofang instinctively raised her hand to block it.

"Ah!" she screamed, her arm instantly wracked with pain.

Xia Guofang looked up and saw her parents. Her mother was holding a cane and looking at her angrily, while her father was supporting her with a serious expression.

"Mom and Dad, what are you doing?"

"Don't you have any idea what you've done? Get out of the way."

Grandma Xia used her cane to push Xia Guofang aside, and looked at the side with a smile, saying, "Xiao Chu, you must be tired from standing all day! Come in and sit down."

"Xia Yichu, what brings you here?"

Xia Yichu didn't say anything, and together with Grandpa Xia, helped Grandma Xia inside. As Grandma Xia passed by, Xia Guofang glared at her, and Xia Guofang immediately remembered the phone call she made to the school yesterday morning.

Then, looking at Xia Yichu in disbelief, Xia Guofang realized that she had actually come all the way to Kyoto to complain. Seeing this scene, Xia Guofang regretted calling the school.

"Mom and Dad, listen to me, it's a misunderstanding. I just wanted to call Xiaochu to confirm, since I've already reported it to the police. I'm afraid..."

"Xia Guofang, are you implying that my granddaughter stole things from your house? I'll beat you to death, you idiot! Do you think Xiao Chu would do such a petty theft?"

Grandma Xia stood up, raised her cane, and was about to hit Xia Guofang when Grandpa Xia and Xia Yichu quickly stopped her.

"Old woman, don't be angry."

"Mom, you're going to hit me again! My hand still hurts!"

Xia Guofang felt wronged. Before Xia Yichu was recognized by her mother, her mother had never hit her. This was the second time her mother had hit her because of Xia Yichu.

"Grandma Xia, please don't be angry. I believe my aunt didn't do it on purpose. She was just being used by someone with ulterior motives."

"Yes, your aunt was deceived by the family's housekeeper. I told you long ago to fire Xu Yumei, but you wouldn't listen to me. Now look what's happened, things have been stolen from the house, and I think she colluded with outsiders to steal them."

"Mom, let's not speculate. Let the police investigate first."

It wasn't that Xia Guofang was protecting Xu Yumei; she just felt that the loss of things couldn't possibly have anything to do with her.

"Oh, so you know you can't just guess, but how dare you call a primary or secondary school?"

When this matter was brought up, Xia Guofang lowered his head guiltily and dared not speak.

Grandma Xia continued, "Xia Guofang, let me tell you, if Xiao Chu can't continue her studies because of this, I will sever my mother-daughter relationship with you."

"Old woman, say less."

Grandpa Xia knew that his daughter was not a bad person, but she was easily trusting of others.

"Mom, she's only been home for a short time, and you're already going to abandon me because of her. Besides, can't I even call the school to ask about it?"

"No, you're tarnishing Xiao Chu's character."

Grandma Xia was very happy when her granddaughter came to visit in the morning. But when her granddaughter told her that Xia Guofang had called the school yesterday to ask if she had stolen anything from home, Grandma Xia was furious.

She immediately brought Xia Yichu over to confront her daughter. How dare she call and question Xiao Chu? Xia Guofang could do something so brainless.

"Xia Yichu, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

After apologizing, Xia Guofang ran upstairs in tears. She had known since childhood that she wasn't the Xia family's biological daughter, but the Xia family treated her no differently than their own.

Even when the neighborhood office notified each household that someone had to go to the countryside, the whole family unanimously decided to send her second brother to the countryside, but she had actually already decided to sign up herself.

The day after her second brother signed up to go to the countryside, someone tipped him off that someone was going to report the Xia family. The Xia family was most worried about her.

They immediately published a notice in the newspaper severing ties with her and entrusted her to Aunt Xia's care. At first, neither of the two aunts wanted to take her in, which angered Grandma Xia so much that she scolded the two sisters at home for being heartless.

Later, after offering her many benefits, one of her aunts finally agreed to take her in. After Xia's parents made arrangements for her, they responded to the national call to participate in the development of the Northwest, thus escaping disaster.

After her parents left, she lived with her aunt for more than three years. Life was very difficult for her. She had a job as a sales clerk at a supply and marketing cooperative.

Every month when she received her salary, her aunt would take it all away under the pretext of sending money to her parents. She didn't resist and gave her all the money, hoping that her parents could suffer less in the Northwest.

What terrified her most was the way her uncle looked at her, which made her very scared. At night, she and her younger cousin would block all the things in their room behind the door.

Once, she was woken up by a cold wind in the middle of the night and found her uncle had come in. She immediately woke up her little cousin before he left.

Once, she overheard her aunt and uncle discussing marrying her off to a widower. The man had two children, and she heard he used to beat his wife frequently. She was even more frightened, but dared not tell her parents for fear of worrying them.

Her aunt told her that her parents could only stay in the Northwest for the rest of their lives and could never come back. She also told her that her parents' health was often poor while they were there.

Xia Guofang was both worried and helpless, thinking about what her colleague had told her about her neighbor Luo Hao's situation.
