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

Xia Zhiheng first went back to the Xia family's old house, only to find his mother wasn't home. He then went to his maternal grandmother's house. The thought of his mother being beaten by Xia Yichu gave him an even bigger headache; the Yang family wouldn't let it go.

It wasn't that the Yang family cared much about his mother, but rather that his maternal grandmother would definitely use the opportunity to cause trouble and extort money from Xiao Chu.

Xia Zhiheng drove his motorcycle directly to the Yang family's courtyard. It was 11:50 a.m., and his two uncles and aunts had already gotten off work by then.

"Zhiheng, you're here."

Hearing the sound of a motorcycle, Zhang Xiaohua came out of the kitchen with a smile and greeted Xia Zhiheng. It was her turn to cook today.

"Um, Auntie, is my mom here?"

"Yes, she's in your maternal grandmother's room."

Of all the people in the Yang family, Zhang Xiaohua is the most perceptive. She never takes the lead when something happens. For example, right now, her mother-in-law and Yang Yunxia are inside discussing her son's marriage, and she's busy in the kitchen as if nothing's wrong.

"Then you go ahead with your work, Auntie, I'll go inside and find my mom."

"Okay, sure."

Xia Zhiheng took a deep breath before stepping inside. The smell in his maternal grandmother's room was much better than before. As soon as he entered, he saw his two uncles and his eldest aunt. His mother was sitting on his grandmother's bed with a blank expression.

"Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, Mom, I've bought you a bottle of ointment. Take it and put it on your face."

Yang Yunxia remained silent. Her eldest son's attitude towards Xia Yichu had deeply hurt her, and the atmosphere became tense.

Zhang Xiaohua walked in from outside and said, "Give it to me, I'll apply it for my older sister."

"Need not"

Yang Yunxia angrily pushed Zhang Xiaohua's hand away. Neither of her two sons was on her side, which made her feel upset.

"Big sister, Xiao Bo's one-month celebration is tomorrow. You can't go with that face, people will laugh at you."

Two days ago, Xia Zhiheng came to our house and mentioned that the baby's one-month celebration would be held on National Day, inviting them to dinner. Zhang Xiaohua's words were also a reminder to her mother-in-law to tell Yang Yunxia not to throw a tantrum and that important matters should be taken care of.

"Wouldn't that be a perfect opportunity for others to see how the Xia family's newly adopted granddaughter treats her elders?"

Xia Zhiheng opened his mouth to speak, but his grandmother beat him to it.

"Are you ever going to stop? You, as an elder, don't act like one at all and have the nerve to say such things. Xiao Chu not having a mother is all your fault. Zhi Heng, your mother was in the wrong. I already scolded her."

Xia Zhiheng was terrified by what he saw. Had his grandmother been possessed? It was unbelievable that she was uttering such profound and righteous words.

"Cough cough..."

Wang Fengxian was also not used to saying these things in front of Xia Zhiheng, so she coughed to ease the awkwardness.

"Grandma, are you alright?"

"It's alright, Zhiheng. But then again, while your mother is wrong, Xiaochu is also at fault. She shouldn't hit her elders so easily. You need to talk to your grandmother. Xiaochu can't go on like this; what man would dare to marry her in the future?"

Wang Fengxian trembled with rage at the thought of being slapped in the face by that little bitch Xia Yichu. Fortunately, after tomorrow she would be the Yang family's granddaughter-in-law, and what happened after that would be entirely up to her.

"Grandma, Xiao Chu won't hit people for no reason. As long as you don't provoke her, she's very easy to talk to. She's kind and loyal, and many people like her."

Also, it's okay if she doesn't get married. Qingyan and I can support her in the future. Although our salaries aren't much, it won't be a problem. Xiaobo will treat her like his own mother.

Hearing these words, Wang Fengxian was completely distraught. Yang Yunxia's face was even more unpleasant than her mother's, and the two of them were about to erupt in anger.

Zhang Xiaohua immediately changed the subject. She couldn't afford to offend Xia Zhiheng right now, or tomorrow's plans would be ruined.

"Zhiheng, where would you like to hold your baby's one-month celebration tomorrow?"

When Xia Zhiheng came to discuss holding a full-month celebration a couple of days ago, he didn't mention where he wanted to hold it. So Zhang Xiaohua's question is perfectly reasonable.

"Come to my house"

"no"

"no"

As Xia Zhiheng finished speaking, Wang Fengxian and her daughter Yang Yunxia voiced their opposition in unison.

"Zhiheng, your house is small, you can't fit many tables, can you?"

"Auntie, it's alright. We'll only invite our own relatives."

On the way here, Xia Zhiheng had already decided to just set up a few tables at home. His younger brother was getting married in half a month, and they would have a big wedding banquet then.

"No, this is the eldest grandson of the Xia family. We can't be so hasty. We must hold it at the Xia family's old residence, in a grand and proper manner."

"Grandma, no need, the Xia family doesn't care about these things."

Grandpa and Grandma Xia really don't care about these things; in their hearts, the most important thing is for the child to grow up healthy and happy.

"Yunxia, ​​speak up! Do you also agree with Zhiheng's decision?"

"The full moon celebration will be held at the old family home."

Yang Yunxia uttered this one dry sentence and then fell silent. Wang Fengxian looked at her, the threat in her eyes understood only by the two of them.

"Mom, no need, we'll just hold it at home tomorrow. It's the same if you come home earlier."

"Xia Zhiheng, do you not even have the right to decide on my grandson's one-month celebration? Don't you even respect me as his mother?"

"Mom, didn't you say before that Qingyan and I could decide? Why are you saying this now?"

Yang Yunxia was speechless after her son's words. She had said something similar a few days ago. At that time, she was annoyed because her mother was pressuring her to give money to build a house, and she had no mood to worry about her grandson.

Actually, the real intention is to use the grandson's full moon celebration as an excuse to ruin Xia Yichu's reputation, force her to marry into the Yang family, a living hell, and let her experience what it's like to be worse than dead.

"I don't care, it has to be held at the old house."

Yang Yunxia was too lazy to think of a solution, so she resorted to being a rogue. Since her son wouldn't listen to her, she would talk to Su Qingyan later that night. In the current situation, she dared not go to her in-laws; if they found out she had scolded Xia Yichu, she would definitely be in big trouble.

"Mom, why are you being unreasonable again?"

"Zhiheng, it's only natural to hold the full moon celebration at the old house. What's there to worry about?" said Yang Yunhao, Xia Zhiheng's maternal uncle.

"That's right! The courtyard and the interior of the old house can accommodate about ten tables, which is just right. Your maternal grandmother can't go to your house either, so we'll host the banquet at the old house. Your eldest uncle and I will take her there, and she can see the children one last time."

Knowing Wang Fengxian's scheme, the two Yang brothers spared no effort in persuading Xia Zhiheng.

"Uncle, after Qingyan finishes her postpartum confinement, she and I will bring the baby to visit Grandma. I'll have Xiaoqian bring food to Grandma before the feast tomorrow. Don't worry, there's enough room for your whole family."

Seeing that Xia Zhiheng still wouldn't budge after all that talking, the Yang family began to worry. Yang Yunxia sat on the edge of the bed, seemingly lost in thought.

"Zhiheng, are you worried that Xiaochu and her older sister have had such a big fight that they won't go to the old house?"

Only Zhang Xiaohua understood the hidden story and asked the question so that the other members of the Yang family would know the reason and how to persuade them.

Xia Zhiheng's silence only confirmed Zhang Xiaohua's suspicions. Yang Yunxia finally showed an expression, staring at her eldest son in disbelief.

Even at this point, Xia Zhiheng is still considering Xia Yichu's feelings. Does that mean her reputation doesn't matter?
