Chapter 241 Su Qingyan's Nightmare
The next morning, Xia Yichu saw Pei Shizhou again as soon as she opened the door.
"Yichu, my grandma called me early this morning and said you're coming to our house for dinner today, so she asked me to come pick you up."
Yesterday, before Pei Shizhou's grandmother left, she did invite Xia Yichu to her house for dinner today. She was so enthusiastic that Xia Yichu couldn't refuse and had to agree.
"Yes, but I told Grandma Zhou we were going to have dinner. It's only nine in the morning, isn't that too early? I haven't even had breakfast yet! And I'm going to see my sister-in-law later."
Xia Yichu said helplessly, "Is Grandma Zhou afraid that she will run away? She sent Pei Shizhou to her house to block her early in the morning."
"It's alright, I'll go with you and comfort Zhiheng while I'm at it."
He came back with Xia Zhiheng yesterday, but Xia Zhiheng wouldn't let him in.
"OK"
Yesterday, after Wang Fengxian returned home, Xia Zhiheng walked in with a dark face and questioned his mother. It turned out that not only Xia Yichu believed Wang Fengxian's words, but Xia Zhiheng also believed them, which was why he was so angry.
Yang Yunxia, of course, cried and denied it, and even asked Xia Yichu to play the recording again. After listening to the recording, Xia Zhiheng took his wife and children home without saying a word; it's unclear whether he believed it or not.
"Have you eaten? I'm going to buy some steamed buns."
"I haven't eaten yet, let's go together."
Pei Shizhou waited for Xia Yichu for more than two hours on an empty stomach, just to have breakfast with her.
"Hmm, I wonder how Luo Yuekai is doing?"
Pei Shizhou told me that Luo Yuekai had been found, and he and Xu Yumei were eating ice cream at a convenience store near his school. Xu Yumei hadn't been arrested either; Luo Yuekai said he wanted to go with her. Xu Yumei didn't do anything to him and even bought him ice cream.
Although Xia Guofang reported the incident to the police, the officers only gave Xu Yumei a lecture and left. Luo Yuekai cried and made a scene, and in the end, Xia Zhiheng and Xia Zhiqian got him home. Luo Hao wasn't home, so Xia Zhiqian stayed at the Luo family's house to help.
Xia Zhiheng was afraid that his family would worry, so after sending Luo Yuekai back, he went home. He happened to hear his mother talking about how his maternal grandmother had drugged his father more than 20 years ago. He couldn't accept it and stood at the door, too afraid to go in.
His maternal grandmother used to tell him that his parents had a very good relationship, and that his father saved his mother, which is why they got married. It was a touching love story, but now she's saying that his father was drugged before he married his mother, and his worldview has collapsed.
I only met his father twice when I was a child. Every time I called him, he would just look at me indifferently and never answer or talk to me, let alone hug me.
When he cried and asked his mother if his father didn't like him, his mother said the two weren't close. She said things would be better when his father returned from the army, or when he and his brother would go to live with him at the military base. He believed her and looked forward to growing up and living with his father.
Instead of receiving the news, he learned that his father had died in a mission. From that moment on, he vowed to join the army and defend his country like his father.
As expected, his choice was right. Everyone in the army said his father was a great hero, and the leaders, knowing his father was Xia Guohua, praised him, saying that like father, like son. He was proud that Xia Guohua was his father, even though his father didn't seem to like him.
"Brother Zhiheng"
Xia Yichu knocked on the door, and Xia Zhiheng opened it. Xia Zhiheng had dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept well the night before.
"Yichu, Shizhou, come in and sit down." His voice was hoarse, and he managed a forced smile.
Where is my sister-in-law?
Still sleeping
Not only did Xia Zhiheng not sleep well yesterday, but Su Qingyan also couldn't sleep well because she was worried about him. She chatted with him until after 2 a.m. before she finally drifted off to sleep. Just as dawn broke, the baby woke up to nurse, so she woke up to feed the baby. She didn't fall asleep again until after breakfast.
"Is it okay to drink water?"
"Brother Zhiheng, don't bother, I'll go."
"Okay, help yourself to whatever you want to drink. There's soda in the fridge and tea here."
Xia Yichu nodded and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water for everyone. After serving them, she sat down. Xia Zhiheng and Pei Shizhou sat silently on the sofa, the TV off.
"Did Aunt Chunhua go grocery shopping?"
"No, my aunt just called me to cook for Yue Kai. She said he hasn't eaten since he got back yesterday, and he'll starve to death if Xu Yumei doesn't come back."
The nanny Xia Zhiqian hired for the Luo family had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. The nanny's mother-in-law was hospitalized and she needed to take care of her, so she couldn't come for the time being.
"Really, I'm going to visit the Luo family later."
Xia Yichu, always eager for a good show, thought, "How can that chubby Luo Yuekai possibly go without eating for a meal?" She'd missed two meals, last night and this morning, and she was going to join the fun.
"I doubt Aunt Chunhua will be back in time. Xiao Chu, you watch over your sister-in-law. I'll go buy groceries and cook. You and Shizhou can stay for lunch."
"No need, I'm going to the Luo family's for dinner."
Xia Yichu shamelessly said that she wasn't afraid Xia Guofang wouldn't let her eat at the restaurant; she planned to bring her own food to their door.
"I don't need it either."
Xia Yichu had already left, so Pei Shizhou didn't want to stay and stare at Xia Zhiheng.
"Alright, Shizhou, come with me to the market to buy groceries."
Although Xia Zhiheng was in a bad mood, he still took Pei Shizhou with him. Pei Shizhou knew that he was being wary of him, so he didn't refuse and went with him.
After they left, Xia Yichu cooked two brown sugar egg soups for Su Qingyan in the kitchen, using water from her spatial storage. She had just finished cooking them and was about to check if Su Qingyan had woken up.
Then they heard Su Qingyan calling for Xia Zhiheng from inside the room. Her voice was anxious and even sounded like she was crying.
"Know the balance, know the balance."
Xia Yichu quickly walked in. Su Qingyan woke up and, not seeing Xia Zhiheng, called out to him in a panic. She had already woken up the sleeping child next to her, but she didn't care about that.
"Sister-in-law, what happened? Brother Zhiheng just went to the market to buy groceries."
Xia Yichu saw Su Qingyan sitting on the bed with tears streaming down her face, holding the child and her hands seemed to be trembling. Xia Yichu went over and took the child into her arms.
"Xiao Chu, I just had a nightmare. I dreamt that your brother jumped off a building. He crawled on the ground to the balcony and jumped off, and no matter how much I called him, he wouldn't stop."
Xia Yichu's face stiffened upon hearing the word "jumping off a building." Wasn't that how Xia Zhiheng died in his past life? She clearly started to panic; how could Su Qingyan have such a dream?
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, it's alright. Zhiheng is fine. Besides, with you and Xiaobo by his side, how could he bear to jump off a building?"
"You're right, with the child around, he definitely wouldn't do something so foolish. By the way, Xiao Chu, when did you get here?"
"I haven't been here long, sister-in-law. I made you some brown sugar and egg soup. Here's the baby, I'll go get it for you."
Xia Yichu handed the child to Su Qingyan and left. She had comforted Su Qingyan, but she herself became worried.
If Su Qingyan hadn't brought up Xia Zhiheng's suicide, there would have been some things I hadn't remembered. Those spies from my past life haven't appeared yet. Does that mean they won't reappear?
Impossible. They're definitely looking for an opportunity to strike somewhere, or they're waiting for Xia Guoan to return before making their move.
She needs to think it over carefully; too much time has passed, and there are some things she can't recall in a short time.
"Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu, what are you doing?"
Su Qingyan changed the baby's diaper, carried the baby out, and saw Xia Yichu staring blankly at the things in the pot.
"Sister-in-law, wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."
Xia Yichu scooped up two eggs with a spoon, then poured the soup back in, making a perfect bowl. It was already past ten o'clock; there was no need to eat too much.
"Sister-in-law, give me the child, you go and eat."
"it is good"
Holding her child, Xia Yichu thought of the spies again. In her previous life, Chen Shaoping and Yang Mengru had helped her find those people.
It was said that they were idle, good-for-nothing hooligans who would do anything for the right price. Because she trusted Chen Shaoping so much, she never asked where those people were found.
