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

"Xu Yumei, you're the one who accused my granddaughter of stealing. Which eye of yours saw my Xiaochu steal? If you can't give me a straight answer today, I'm going to sue you for defaming my granddaughter's reputation."

Grandma Xia's main goal today was to scold anyone she could get her hands on. Her granddaughter had finally gotten her to stand up for her, so she had to behave herself. She wanted to let Xiao Chu know that with her around, no one could bully her.

"Aunt Xia, I didn't mean that."

Xu Yumei's tears flowed freely, and Xia Yichu admired her greatly for being able to cry so easily.

"At your age, you start crying all the time? Do you think you're a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl? And who are you trying to fool with your tears? I'm not a man, I'm not buying your act."

Grandpa Xia, the only man in the room, noticed something and immediately turned his eyes to the television.

"Madam, Sister Yunxia, ​​please say something. I only mentioned that Miss Xia had come to our house; I didn't say anything else."

Xu Yumei dared not shed tears to gain sympathy, and anxiously looked at Xia Guofang and Yang Yunxia, ​​hoping they could say a word for her. Their eyes, especially Yang Yunxia's, looked elsewhere.

She was so scolded that she couldn't even lift her head. Xu Yumei finally came back, and her mother-in-law turned her anger on her. Why would she be stupid enough to say anything?

"What business is it of yours, a mere nanny, that my granddaughter came to my son-in-law's house? Why do you need to specifically emphasize that she was here when my daughter's house was burglarized? What are you up to? Don't think I don't know."

When their son-in-law Luo Hao came to ask about Xu Yumei's son Liu Yaohui being arrested by the police after Xiao Chu reported it, Grandma Xia felt that since her granddaughter was asking for money, she must have her reasons.

She agreed to give him the money to settle the matter, but she didn't know that the money came from her son-in-law. She only found out later when her daughter, Xia Guofang, let it slip, and she scolded the couple.

"Miss Xia, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned you that day, it was all my fault."

"No, Aunt, Xu Yumei's son Liu Yaohui was also there that day. If you ask me, he's much more suspicious than me."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yumei turned pale. She knew that Xia Yichu would eventually speak ill of her son when she saw Xia Yichu at the Luo family home. That's why she had apologized to Xia Yichu so readily, hoping they could leave quickly.

"What do you mean? Why was Yaohui at my house that day?"

Xia Guofang was unaware of this matter; no one had told her that Liu Yaohui had visited their home.

"Aunt, you'll have to ask Xu Yumei. Her son is sleeping in the room you and Uncle reserved for Grandma and Grandpa Xia. When Xiao Chuan and I went in, we were terrified; we thought it was a thief!"

"Oh! I see. So your son was the thief. No wonder you wanted to pin the theft on my granddaughter. You were afraid people would find out it was your son who stole it, so you planned to shift the blame onto Xiao Chu."

Grandma Xia suddenly realized that her daughter's nanny was very scheming.

"That's not how it is, Auntie, Madam. Xiaohui didn't steal anything. He was drunk that day and wanted to rest in my room, but he went to the wrong room. Miss Xia, you know, I explained it to you that day."

"Yes, you did explain that day. But your uncle didn't know anything was missing from the house that day. If you can suspect me, why can't I suspect your son?"

"After all, I've only been here once. While my aunt and uncle were away, your son has come countless times."

Xu Yumei knew she was doomed this time. If she had known her son would cause such a big mess, she shouldn't have let him come to Kyoto in the first place.

"That's right, Xiao Chu is right. You two have been completely fooled by a nanny, and she's even led Xiao Kai astray."

"Xu Yumei, why didn't you tell me that your son had also come to my house that day?"

Xia Guofang asked angrily, feeling that she had been deceived.

"Madam, when the master found out about this, I thought he had already told you and didn't mention it again. Xiaohui only came to our house to rest that one time; before that, he would always just say a few words to me and then leave."

That was an accident; he was drunk and I was worried about leaving him alone. I wanted him to rest in my room for a while, but when I turned around and went to the kitchen for a short while, he went to sleep in another room.

I called him for a long time but he didn't wake up. I'm too weak to move him. I was helpless.

Xu Yumei tearfully defended herself, wiping away tears from time to time, looking utterly helpless. If Xia Yichu hadn't been there, she almost would have believed Xu Yumei's words; she was just too good at pretending.

Sometimes even Luo Hao could be fooled, let alone Xia Guofang. Xia Yichu looked at Xia Guofang and found that her face was no longer as angry as before.

"However, what you said cannot clear Liu Yaohui of suspicion. If I remember correctly, my uncle and his family happened to be visiting my sister-in-law that day, so your son had the opportunity to commit the crime."

Also, my aunt and her family went out to play for so long during the summer vacation. Who knew your son stayed here for a few nights? It's possible that your son stole those things back in the summer.

Xu Yumei was panicking inside, but pretended to be calm on the outside. Xia Yichu was too smart; she had actually guessed everything.

Xia Guofang started looking at Xu Yumei with suspicion again. She remembered that Xu Yumei's son seemed to be in Kyoto. Could it be that, as Xia Yichu said, since they weren't home, Xu Yumei had brought Liu Yaohui to stay at her house.

"Yes, Xiao Chu is right, her son must have stolen the things too."

No matter what Xia Yichu said, Grandma Xia wholeheartedly agreed, saying that Xiao Chu was as smart as her.

"Madam, that's not true. Xiao Hui has never stayed overnight here. Besides, my son was completely drunk that time, how could he possibly have gone upstairs to steal something?"

"You're the only one at home, so you can't just say whatever you want. Your aunt and uncle don't even know if you've stayed at their house or not."

Xu Yumei ignored Xia Yichu and continued to explain to Xia Guofang.

"Madam, I've been at home for almost ten years. Don't you believe me? Xiao Hui has come to Kyoto to look for me before. When has anything ever been stolen from the house?"

"Perhaps your son didn't lack money before, but now he does."

Every time Xu Yumei said something, Xia Yichu would immediately retort, and the more Xia Yichu retorted, the more flustered Xu Yumei became.

"Miss Xia, I know that Xiao Hui has offended you in the past, but you can't pin some unfounded accusations on him."

"Whether or not the blame is placed on Liu Yaohui is not up to you to decide. Let's have the police investigate, and then everything will be clear."

"I..." Xu Yumei was both angry and flustered, unable to speak.

"Alright, stop arguing. Go cook dinner first. Xiao Kai will be home from school soon. We can talk about other things when Luo Hao gets back."

Luo Hao said he would be back in a couple of days, and Xia Guofang didn't want to deal with all this mess.

"Yes, madam."

Xu Yumei was not pleased by Xia Guofang's words; instead, she was even more worried about her son's situation. She picked up the things on the ground and went to the kitchen to cook, including the 80,000 yuan she had withdrawn from the bank that morning.

Grandma Xia didn't stop them. Before coming, she called Luo Hao and told him to go home. Luo Hao said he would be home by the end of the night at the latest. This time, she was determined to make her son-in-law fire the housekeeper; she was malicious and would corrupt Xiao Kai in the future.
