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

"Mom, you've gone too far. Your actions are definitely related to what happened to my aunt, and you still dare to bring it up."

At that moment, Xia Zhiheng felt that his mother was a stranger and could not believe that those words came from her mouth.

"Xia Yichu slapped me, are you going to do anything about it?"

"Mom, can you please stop making a scene?"

Xia Zhiheng glanced at his mother's face before looking away; Xia Yichu had hit him too hard. But it was understandable; his mother had brought up his mother's past, wasn't that just asking for trouble?

"Sister-in-law, why don't you go home first? We can talk about it later. You can't hit Xiao Chu. If Mom and Dad find out, they definitely won't forgive you."

Xia Guofang couldn't bear to see Yang Yunxia making things difficult for her nephew, and she didn't want the mother and son to argue over this.

"Good, very good. You two are indeed of the same surname. Xia Zhiheng, I'll pretend I never had a son like you."

Yang Yunxia covered her face and left with red eyes. After she left, Xia Zhiheng looked at Xia Yichu and was speechless for a moment.

He wanted to tell her not to hit people so easily in the future, especially elders, as it would damage her reputation, but then he realized he didn't seem to have the right to say anything to her. Xia Yichu didn't care and went back to sit on the sofa by herself.

"Aunt, where's Uncle?"

Xia Zhiheng couldn't do anything about her, nor did he dare to say anything to her. If his wife found out, he would definitely be in big trouble. Remembering the purpose of his visit, he could only change the subject for now.

He's gone on a long trip.

"Didn't my uncle say he'd be staying home for the next few days? Why is he out again? Did he say when he'd be back?"

In the morning, Xia Zhiheng only talked to him about Liu Yaohui, but did not tell him about Xu Yumei's arrangement for Chen Shaoping to get close to Xia Yichu several years ago.

He was thinking of waiting for Xia Yichu to come over and talk to him, telling him to be careful of Xu Yumei, especially Xiao Kai, and to keep a close eye on him so that Xu Yumei wouldn't have a chance to get close to him.

"Your mother wants to borrow money to build a house for your maternal grandparents, but your uncle doesn't know he just agreed to lend the money. I've asked your uncle to go into hiding; he has some business to take care of. He won't be back for a while. What do you need him for?"

"My mom really wants to borrow money to help my grandma and grandpa build a house. How much does she want to borrow?"

Xia Zhiheng was increasingly disappointed in his mother. At least she used to have some sense of propriety and wouldn't borrow money from Xia's relatives to help the Yang family. Last year, she tried to take advantage of his uncle and Xiao Chu for his cousins, and now she wants to borrow money from his aunt to build a house.

"Zhiheng, it's not that your aunt doesn't want to lend your mother money, she just asked for 50,000. It's a good thing that your two uncles want to build houses, but you shouldn't have let your mother lend them half of the money for building the houses."

It's been almost twenty years, and your mother's salary has all gone to her family. Your uncle and aunt both have jobs; surely they could scrape together seventy or eighty thousand yuan from both families. They're too shrewd; they insist on making your mother pay half.

And this is just the beginning. Later, when you buy furniture, appliances, or your cousins ​​get married and have children, you'll need money for everything. Once you borrow once, there will be countless more times. Your grandmother doesn't want you to lend money anyway.

"Aunt, I understand. You were right not to lend the money, and I won't blame you. I came here to talk to you and Uncle about Xu Yumei and my mother's request for money. Please ignore her."

Xia Zhiheng recounted Xu Yumei and Chen Shaoping's schemes against Xia Yichu, urging her to be more cautious.

"You mean Xu Yumei knew all along that Xiao Chu was my second brother's daughter, and not only did she not tell us, she also instructed Chen Shaoping to get close to Xiao Chu? How is that possible? Impossible."

"Aunt, nothing is impossible. Chen Shaoping's family is not far from Uncle Lin's family, and I have investigated. Xu Yumei's family is in the village next to Uncle's in the countryside."

Everyone in the surrounding villages knows about my aunt's situation, so she definitely knows too. She might even know my uncle's name, and might even have met him before.

Xia Guofang was stunned, but she still couldn't believe it was true. Right, she remembered, Xu Yumei had asked her second brother a lot of questions when they first met.

She said he looked familiar and even asked Xia Guofang if her second brother had been a sent-down youth in the countryside. She also seemed to have asked if her second brother had gotten married in the countryside. Too much time had passed, and Xia Guofang only remembered that Xu Yumei later said she had mistaken him for someone else.

She hadn't taken it to heart, but now that she thinks about it, Xu Yumei might have recognized her second brother back then. Looking at it carefully now, there are clues to everything. She's incredibly cunning; she can decide what's most advantageous for her in such a short time.

"Aunt, the most important thing right now is to prevent Xu Yumei from having any contact with Xiao Kai. Why don't you call Uncle home and tell Grandma about my mom borrowing money? I guarantee she won't dare to come to our door to borrow money again."

"No need. Your uncle's business is more important. He's always wanted to get into the foreign trade clothing business. This is a rare opportunity, we can't miss it. I'll keep a close eye on Xiao Kai. If Xu Yumei dares to come, I won't be polite."

Xia Yichu glanced at Xia Guofang. Xu Yumei could control her even when she was at the Luo family's house. Luo Hao wasn't home now, so she couldn't keep an eye on Luo Yuekai. Just wait and see, this matter is going to escalate.

Xia Zhiheng was worried, afraid that his aunt wouldn't be able to keep an eye on her. He should have told his uncle about this in the morning. His mother was just so troublesome. There was no better way than to take it one step at a time.

"Okay, Auntie, call me again if you need anything. Xiao Kai and the others will stay with me for a couple of days. We're having Xiao Bo's one-month celebration at home tomorrow, so come early. Xiao Chu, you too."

"it is good"

Xia Yichu responded. Su Qingyan had specially postponed the celebration until tomorrow so that she could attend the baby's one-month celebration, so she would definitely go earlier.

"Will the banquet be held where you're currently staying, or at the Xia family's old residence?"

"Auntie, let's not hold the ceremony at the old house, let's hold it at our home."

Xia Guofang frowned and said, "How about this, I'll call you and book a restaurant. Will eight tables be enough? Don't worry about the money, I'll cover it."

Xia Zhiheng's family could only afford to set up three or four tables at most. Xia Guofang thought that since this was the Xia family's first grandson, they should have a grand celebration. How could they be so stingy?

"Aunt, it's not about the money. Qingyan wants to have the event at home. Just a meal with family is fine; she doesn't want a big celebration."

The couple planned to hold a banquet at the Xia family's old house with six tables. The chef and menu were prepared, and some things had been bought. He was going home today to tell his mother.

However, given the argument between Xia Yichu and his mother just now, Xia Zhiheng suddenly changed his mind, fearing that Xia Yichu wouldn't be willing to attend the baby's one-month celebration. The child's safe delivery was thanks to Xia Yichu, and her mood should be the priority.

"That won't work either. There's definitely not enough room at home. You only have a few tables at home, but the Yang family needs one table, and all of Mom and Dad's old friends—Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, and so on—must be invited. And what about your aunts and uncles? Can you really not invite them?"

"Auntie, I've bought everything and hired a chef. Let's skip the restaurant; I'll discuss it with Qingyan when I get home."

Xia Zhiheng's aunt was right; thinking about all this gave him a headache.

"Okay, you and Qingyan should discuss it properly. If you want to book a hotel, cancel those other things, and we'll forgo the deposit."

Xia Zhiheng nodded and left. Before going home, he went to see his mother and bought her a bottle of ointment from the pharmacy.
