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

Luo Hao was baffled by his mother-in-law's words, while Xia Guofang was restless. Why was her mother bringing up this topic again?

"Last time you invited Xiao Chu to your house, Xu Yumei, Guo Fang, and Yang Yunxia suspected Xiao Chu of stealing. Guo Fang even called the school to look for Xiao Chu."

Grandma Xia pointed at Xia Guofang, and Luo Hao frowned, his face turning very ugly.

"Mom, are you done yet? I already said I was just asking to clear Xia Yichu's name."

"Xiao Chuan, take your younger brother upstairs and watch him. Don't let him come down."

They'll definitely be talking about Xu Yumei later, but Luo Hao doesn't want his youngest son to know for now.

"dad"

His father looked very upset. Luo Yuechuan didn't want to leave; he didn't want his parents to argue.

"Grandpa will go up with you. It's alright. Grandma and your cousin are here. Everything will be fine."

Luo Yuekai, carefree and oblivious, took the last chicken wing from the plate when his parents weren't looking, and then happily went upstairs with his brother and grandfather.

Luo Hao continued, "Guofang, Xiao Chu only came to our house once. What could she possibly be suspicious of? It's you who, at your age, are still so easily manipulated."

"Luo Hao, you actually look down on me because I'm too old. If I hadn't married you, would you be living such a good life now? Besides, anyone who has ever been to our house is a suspect; I'm just making reasonable suspicion."

Xia Guofang was furious. Luo Hao had always treated her very well, and except for the matter of their youngest son, he rarely yelled at her.

Luo Hao wasn't angry. He always knew that the person he should thank most for his good life today was Xia Guofang. He was grateful that she was willing to marry him, and also for the support of her parents and second brother in his business. Therefore, he respected and was very filial to them.

"Then why don't you suspect Liu Yaohui? He was home that day too. Xiao Chu is your niece. You suspect your own family but not outsiders. Are you out of your mind?"

Grandma Xia sat silently to the side, as did Xia Zhiheng and Xia Yichu. The two of them were clearing the table, and Xu Yumei had no idea when she would be back.

"Luo Hao, no one has ever told me that Liu Yaohui has come to our house. How can you expect me to suspect anything? You're busy with business all day long, and even when you're home, you're busy. You're either sleeping or in your study."

Xiao Chuan only studies and plays with his friends, while Xiao Kai only spends time with Xu Yumei. Has anyone told me about this? No, if Xia Yichu hadn't told me, I'd still be completely in the dark.

Xia Yichu stopped clearing the dishes. Could this be the reason Xia Guofang brought her lover home in her past life? Even so, it was still wrong to bring a man home for the night, without considering Luo Hao's feelings, and there were still two sons there.

"Yes, it's my fault. I'm tired of living a hard life, and I don't want you to suffer with me. So I can only work harder to earn money and never stop for a moment."

During summer vacation, the family went on a trip to the city where Luo Hao was conducting business. The driver took Xia Guofang and her two children out for a day trip while Luo Hao continued his business negotiations.

He was lucky if he could spare five days a summer vacation to spend with them, and he always prioritized the children over his own time. Aside from business matters, he rarely discussed trivial family matters with Xia Guofang.

"No matter what, you shouldn't doubt Xiao Chu. How can Mom, Dad, and my second brother face Xiao Chu if you do this? And how can I face them in the future?"

Xiao Chu was someone I invited to visit. Now that this has happened, how can my parents and I not be angry and worried?

Luo Hao's tone softened. He had been too busy these past few years and hadn't spent enough time with Xia Guofang. He felt guilty towards her, and his voice unconsciously lowered.

Hearing Luo Hao's words, Xia Guofang's anger subsided considerably. She bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, and said, "I know I was wrong. I even apologized to Xiao Chu this morning, but Mom insists on bringing this up."

"Mom is just worried. Don't do that again. If there's anything, call me first and we'll talk about it. By the way, I'm planning to fire Xu Yumei."

Xia Guofang blurted out instinctively, "What about Xiao Kai?"

"Xiao Kai still has you as his mother. He's eleven years old, and you don't have to change his diapers anymore. He goes to school most of the time and only comes home for meals. Luo Hao, Mom supports you firing Xu Yumei."

"Mom, you don't understand. Xiao Kai only likes to eat the food that Xu Yumei makes."

When Xu Yumei wasn't around, Xia Guofang would take him out to eat at restaurants, but he would complain that this wasn't good and that was better, refusing to eat properly at all.

"That's because he's not hungry. Let him go hungry for a few meals and see."

"I…"

"Mom is right. If Xiao Kai doesn't want to eat, let him go hungry. The things that went missing from the house were probably stolen by Liu Yaohui. He's been arrested several times back in his hometown for petty theft."

He had the time and opportunity to commit the crime, so Xu Yumei definitely can't be allowed to stay. I'll find another nanny later; the two children are older now, so she only needs to take care of their three meals a day.

We can find a live-in nanny, as long as she has good character and can cook well. I'll be home for a while to help take care of Xiao Kai.

Luo Hao still values ​​the upbringing of his two children and tries his best to treat them equally. He himself is not favored and does not want one of his children to be like him.

"Guofang, just listen to Luo Hao."

"All right"

Seeing that her daughter agreed, Grandma Xia was relieved. She then talked to her son-in-law and Xia Zhiheng about going to the Zhou family to propose marriage the next day. Luo Hao happily agreed to go with them.

"Grandma, isn't it a bit inappropriate not to tell my mom?"

"What should we do then? What if your mother goes and makes a scene? What will your in-laws think?"

Xia Zhiheng didn't think so. With his grandparents around, his mother wouldn't dare to make a scene. At most, she would throw a tantrum and refuse to go with him to the marriage proposal or attend the wedding.

"Grandma, I'll call Xiaoqian now and ask him to tell my mom. Whether she goes or not is my mom's decision. We can't keep my mom from seeing my brother and sister-in-law's parents forever."

"it is good"

Grandma Xia felt that her grandson's words made sense, and that she had misunderstood. Xia Yichu helped Grandma Xia to sit on the sofa, and Luo Hao and Xia Guofang also went over.

"Mom, stay at home tonight, we'll go to the Zhou family together tomorrow. By the way, Mom, have you prepared the betrothal gifts? Should I have someone arrange it?"

Xia Zhiheng was on the phone while they sat on the sofa chatting.

"No, let Xiao Heng take your dad and me back later. The betrothal gifts are ready, and Xiao Qian was in a hurry; he wanted to come and propose yesterday."

"It's understandable to be anxious. After all, you've been together for so many years. Once Xiaoqian gets married, Mom and Dad can finally relax."

"Uncle, you're mistaken. How could Grandpa and Grandma be at ease? There's still Xiao Chu, isn't there?" Xia Zhiheng said as he walked over after finishing his call.

"Xiao Chu is beautiful and well-educated. Countless men want to date her, so Mom and Dad don't need to worry."

That's why we're so anxious. Who knows who might kidnap Xiao Chu by then?

Xia Zhiheng was worried at the thought of Pei Shizhou taking a liking to Xia Yichu. Pei Shizhou was handsome, and young girls could easily be fooled by him.

Actually, if Pei Shizhou didn't have a stepmother and his clueless biological father, he would be a good choice for Xiao Chu.

He was a good person in every way, responsible and reliable. It's a pity he had such a family.
