For a moment, Xia Zhiheng wavered. Seeing his grandmother sitting on the bed, thin and helpless, his heart softened.

"Grandma, you don't need to do this. How could Zhiqian and I not care about building a house for the family?"

Don't make things difficult for my mom by asking her to borrow money. Let's use what we have to build the house first, and then we'll figure out how to pay the rest together.

"Xiao Heng, Grandma knows you two brothers are good people. We can't let your mother's situation ruin the baby's full moon celebration."

"Grandma, it's alright, the child isn't upset. This is settled, so please don't try to persuade me anymore. I have other things to do, so I'll be going now."

Xia Zhiheng was still uneasy about the Yang family. His grandmother's reasons seemed reasonable enough, but he still wouldn't budge. It's always better to be cautious, so after saying that, he left without looking back.

"Xiao Heng"

"Zhiheng"

Xia Zhiheng

When the Yang family saw that he still wouldn't agree and even slipped away, they anxiously called after him.

"Big sister, Mom, don't worry. After dinner, my sister and I will go to apologize to Xia Yichu. As long as she agrees to go to the old house tomorrow, Zhiheng won't be a problem."

Zhiheng is probably afraid she won't attend the baby's one-month celebration, that's why he won't agree.

Seeing Xia Zhiheng leave, Zhang Xiaohua wasn't worried; in fact, she thought it was better this way. She and Yang Yunxia went to find Xia Yichu themselves; they could easily win over a young girl with a combination of coaxing and deception.

"That makes sense, but what if Xia Yichu doesn't forgive Yunxia and doesn't go?"

Tomorrow's plan was crucial for the Yang family, and Wang Fengxian didn't want anything to go wrong. Years ago, when Xia Guohua escorted her daughter home, the moment she saw him, she immediately formed a plan in her mind and began implementing it within minutes, executing it perfectly.

This was the proudest thing Wang Fengxian had ever done in her life, but unfortunately Xia Guohua died young. However, it didn't matter, because because of this, she had controlled her daughter for half her life, making her daughter raise her grandson for more than ten years.

She's currently lying in bed, unable to do anything. Otherwise, with her intervention, Xia Yichu would be taken down in no time.

"Mom, let's try to persuade her slowly. We can't let the baby's one-month celebration be so shabby because of her; how could she feel at ease?"

"Xia Yichu is heartless; she won't care," Yang Yunxia said ominously.

"Yunxia, ​​are you saying this because you don't want to apologize to Xia Yichu? If you don't succeed tomorrow, I'll ruin your reputation."

"Mom, I'll go, okay? Can you please stop threatening me? If you push me too far, we'll die together. Don't forget, I was a victim in that incident too."

"Really? You dare say you didn't see me drugging you? And you knew there was something wrong with the water, yet you still made Xia Guohua and yourself drink it."

In an instant, all the color drained from Yang Yunxia's face. Her mother actually knew about this; she had always thought she had kept it a secret.

Seeing that Li Xiuzhen wanted to speak, Zhang Xiaohua grabbed her tightly and covered her mouth.

"You are my daughter, how could I not know what kind of person you are?"

Years ago, she was pouring water in the kitchen when she secretly added an aphrodisiac used for pig mating to the water she was giving to her daughter and Xia Guohua. After adding the drug, she glanced at her daughter's clothes and was still thinking about how to convince her daughter, but unexpectedly, her daughter pretended not to know anything when she took the water out.

Not only did she watch Xia Guohua drink it, but she also finished all the water herself. She knew then that things were settled, and her daughter was willing. After all, Xia Guohua was handsome and a soldier; it was perfectly normal for her daughter to agree.

Luckily, there were aphrodisiacs at home, otherwise this wouldn't have worked. She secretly got those drugs from a pig farm near her home, because she occasionally worked there and that's how she got the drugs.

Wang Fengxian knew in her heart that it wouldn't be easy for her daughter to find a good family, and although she told her daughter to marry a widower, she was still unwilling in her heart.

Her daughter was capable and good-looking, and she hoped her daughter could marry someone who could help the family. Although the widower was a minor leader in the supply and marketing cooperative, he had children and was not someone to be trifled with.

A daughter might have a good life after marrying into the family, but things might not be so good for the family. So when her daughter went to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables during a break from the factory and fell down a hillside but was rescued by Xia Guohua, Wang Fengxian immediately realized that Xia Guohua was no ordinary person.

She subtly probed Xia Guohua, learning that he had a girlfriend but wasn't married yet. She immediately decided to drug him, hoping to facilitate a relationship between him and her daughter.

Most importantly, the daughter cooperated flawlessly. After waking up, Wang Fengxian threw a tantrum, demanding that Xia Guohua take responsibility. Xia Guohua's face darkened on the spot, and he prepared to fight to the death. He realized he had been careless and had been outmaneuvered.

He didn't expect that the person he was meeting for the first time would scheme against him, because he was in a hurry to go back to see his beloved girl, and he also noticed that the water tasted wrong when he drank it.

Wang Fengxian gave him sugar water, but there was a slightly different taste in it. He drank it all without thinking much of it, blaming himself for being careless.

Seeing that Xia Guohua's expression was off, Yang Yunxia cleverly refused to let him take responsibility, saying that the matter should have never happened. She even threatened to kill herself to force her mother to let Xia Guohua go. In the end, Xia Guohua couldn't get over his conscience and decided to marry Yang Yunxia.

"Mom, can you please stop talking?"

Yang Yunxia covered her ears in pain. She didn't regret it. Everyone has to look out for themselves, especially since Xia Guohua was the man she loved.

Xia Guohua didn't know her, but she had known Xia Guohua for a long time. However, Xia Guohua used to be someone she couldn't reach. He and Zhou Wenhui were inseparable from Zhou Wenbin, and she had secretly followed them several times.

Every time I see Xia Guohua being so good to Zhou Wenhui, buying her food, helping her carry things, and making her happy, I realize that their families are old friends and of similar social standing.

She could only silently shed tears, painfully giving up on Xia Guohua. But one day, while she was digging for wild vegetables on the hillside, she suddenly saw Xia Guohua passing by from below.

That was the person she had been longing for day and night; she recognized him immediately. Her mind reacted faster than her body, and she rolled down from above without a second thought.

Her mother didn't know that her rolling down the hillside was intentional; she went to the kitchen just to check if her mother had drugged them. Sure enough, her mother didn't disappoint, secretly adding drugs to the water in the kitchen.

True to their mother-daughter bond, neither wanted to miss this opportunity. Later, she used a strategy of feigned retreat to pressure Xia Guohua into marrying her. Of course, it didn't matter if Xia Guohua refused; she would subtly let Zhou Wenhui know about their relationship.

Xia Guohua was a responsible man, but unfortunately, he didn't love her and resolutely refused to touch her after marrying her. She was also quite capable, getting pregnant with Xia Zhiheng on her first try. Xia Zhiqian was also someone she had schemed for, and she also got pregnant on her first try.

She plotted against Xia Guohua a second time, and he guessed that she was also involved in the previous incident. His eyes were filled with disgust when he looked at her. Perhaps for the sake of the child, he didn't tell anyone about it, or perhaps it was because Zhou Wenhui had also gotten married and had children. Disheartened, he returned to his unit.

The next time he returned home was for Zhou Wenhui's funeral; he didn't even go home. After the funeral, he went straight back to his unit, and Yang Yunxia cried for a whole day and night that day.

"Okay, as long as you let us successfully get our hands on Xia Yichu tomorrow, I will never mention this matter again and I promise I will never use it to threaten you again."

"Okay, I understand."
