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

"Xiao Chu, your sister-in-law was worried you'd forget to come over for dinner, so she sent me to pick you up. Oh, and where are Grandma and Grandpa? You two can come over for dinner too."

Xia Yichu looked at her watch and realized it was almost eleven o'clock. She hadn't realized she had been talking with her grandmother in the room for so long.

"Your grandpa said he went out earlier and hasn't come back yet. Xiao Chu, then you and your brother go home. We won't go. Grandma has difficulty walking and can't eat with you anyway."

The words Xia Yichu and her grandmother said still affected her. Her mind was in a mess, and she was only holding on so as not to worry Xia Yichu.

"Grandma, let me carry you upstairs. We can go home and check on the children."

"No, wait until Qingyan finishes her postpartum confinement period before you bring the baby to visit us. Take Xiaochu back with you! Xiaochu has to catch a flight back to Pengcheng this afternoon! Don't waste time."

"Grandma, don't rush. I'll tell Grandpa when he gets back before we go to Zhiheng's house."

Xia Yichu was worried about leaving her grandmother home alone. Meanwhile, Grandpa Xia had been gone for over an hour and hadn't returned yet.

"Yes, we'll leave when Grandpa comes back." Xia Zhiheng was also worried about leaving his grandmother alone at home.

"Grandma, shall I cook some porridge for you and Grandpa?"

"it is good"

Xia Yichu went to the kitchen to cook porridge, while Xia Zhiheng stayed outside with Grandma Xia.

"Grandma, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

After Xia Yichu left, Grandma Xia leaned wearily against the sofa. Xia Zhiheng asked her with concern.

"I'm fine. Keep your voice down so Xiao Chu won't worry. Zhi Heng, don't go to the Yang family anymore. Just let Chun Hua take care of the child. Keep the child away from your mother as much as possible."

Xia Zhiheng didn't understand why his grandmother was saying these things. Didn't she tell him last time to bring the kids home to see his mother more often, saying that his mother had it tough being with his maternal grandmother? However, seeing how tired his grandmother looked, he ultimately didn't ask why.

Unless something major happens, he won't go to the Yang family's place anymore. He used to think his maternal grandmother was just unreasonable, but he never imagined she could also harm people.

"it is good"

"Don't blame your dad, he's suffering a lot."

Xia Zhiheng smiled bitterly. What right did he have to resent him? He was forced to marry someone he didn't like. Perhaps he didn't understand when he was young, but now that he's married to the person he loves and has children, he'll surely understand.

"Xiao Chu, look at what I bought for you. Do you like it?"

Grandpa Xia's cheerful voice came from outside. Xia Yichu heard Grandpa Xia calling her and came out of the kitchen to see that Grandpa Xia was holding a bag.

That bag was a popular style in the 1990s, with bright colors and a fashionable design.

"I like it, thank you Grandpa."

Xia Yichu accepted the bag and thanked her. It was a shoulder bag that could hold her personal belongings.

"I'm glad you like it. That person wasn't lying to me after all. She said it's something little girls like."

Grandpa Xia spent two hundred yuan on this bag, but as long as his granddaughter likes it, the money was well spent.

"Brother Zhiheng, please hold this for me while I go check on the porridge."

Xia Yichu remembered that porridge was still cooking in the kitchen, so she gave the bag to Xia Zhiheng and went to the kitchen.

"Old woman, I bought you something too." Grandpa Xia took a box out of his pocket and handed it to Grandma Xia.

"What is this?"

"Open it and take a look."

Grandma Xia listlessly opened the box; inside was a gold bracelet.

"It's uncomfortable for an old woman like me to wear this thing, give it to Xiao Chu!"

"Grandma, I don't want it. This is a gift from Grandpa," Xia Yichu said as she came out after cooking the porridge.

"Don't worry, Xiao Chu has one too. Zhi Heng, open your bag."

Xia Zhiheng obediently unzipped the bag, revealing two boxes, one large and one small.

"Xiao Chu, come here and see if you like it."

"These are pearl earrings and a pearl necklace. Grandpa, you have excellent taste. I really like them."

The first time someone gave her pearls, they were actually quite beautiful, and Grandpa Xia was embarrassed by her praise.

"I don't know anything about these things. A kind young girl helped me choose them. I saw that she was about your age, and I thought that you and she would like similar things."

"Grandpa and Grandma, I'll take Xiaochu home for dinner first."

Seeing that his grandfather had returned, Xia Zhiheng wanted to go home, afraid that if he stayed any longer, Qingyan would worry him sick.

"Okay, go quickly!" Grandma Xia said, perking up.

"Grandpa and Grandma, I've cooked the porridge for you, and filled the thermos with water. I'll come to Kyoto again when Zhiqian gets married."

"Okay, call back from Shenzhen."

Grandma Xia wouldn't have dared to make such a request before, fearing her granddaughter would find her annoying. Now it's different; Xiao Chu is much closer to her now, so she's probably starting to accept them.

"it is good"

The couple watched Xia Zhiheng drive away on his motorcycle with Xia Yichu in tow, and only went home together, supporting each other, once they were out of sight. As soon as they got home, Grandma Xia swayed slightly, and Grandpa Xia anxiously helped her up.

"Old woman, are you alright?"

"It's alright, help me to the sofa to sit for a while."

"Where do you feel unwell? Shall we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

Grandma Xia knew her own body well; they were all old ailments, and going to the hospital wouldn't help, it would only worry those around her. Besides, she found that her health was much better than last year; she was only acting this way because she was overwhelmed with grief.

"No need, I'm fine. I'm hungry. Xiao Chu made some porridge, let's eat porridge first."

Grandma Xia decided to eat first and then talk about the matter, so as not to let down Xiao Chu's hard work in cooking porridge for them.

"Okay, you sit here, I'll go get it."

At this moment, Grandma Xia wished she could beat Yang Yunxia. Both of her sons had been ruined by her, how could she not hate her?

"Old woman, Xiao Chu even steamed some egg custard for us."

Grandpa Xia gave Grandma Xia a bowl of porridge and scooped out two spoonfuls of steamed egg custard for her. The steamed egg custard was tender and smooth. Xiao Chu's cooking skills are really good.

"It looks delicious, old woman, have some more."

"Um"

Grandpa Xia also scooped out two spoonfuls for himself and ate them contentedly with the porridge. The steamed egg custard was delicious, and the porridge was delicious too. Every time Xiao Chu came to our house, he always seemed to have a much better appetite, which must be because he was in a good mood.

Grandpa Xia ate two bowls of porridge. He noticed that Grandma Xia hadn't finished her bowl and looked up to speak. But when he saw her eating the porridge with tears streaming down her face, he panicked.

When his wife learned of her younger daughter-in-law's death last year, she cried several times. At that time, he would comfort her every day, telling her how pitiful Xiao Chu was, having lost both her parents since childhood, and urging her to take good care of herself so she could take good care of her granddaughter. That's how she gradually got through it.

Even when my wife found out that our eldest son had been tricked by Wang Fengxian the day before yesterday, she didn't cry like this. She even told him that she couldn't collapse and that she had to watch Wang Fengxian get her comeuppance and die before her.

"Old woman, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me like that."

"I curse Yang Yunxia to die a horrible death, sob sob sob..."

"My family is so unfortunate. How did we end up with such a woman? Guohua and Guoan have both been ruined by her."

Grandma Xia cried as she spoke, and Grandpa Xia couldn't understand what this had to do with their youngest son.

"Old woman, don't be like this. No matter what, she is still the mother of two grandsons. She didn't do it on purpose."

"She's even worse than her mother," Xiao Chu said...

Grandma Xia repeated what Xiao Chu had said to her husband, since she believed Xiao Chu's guess.

"Impossible, this is impossible, why would she do this?"

Grandpa Xia refused to believe it. He preferred to believe that Wang Fengxian had done these things rather than Yang Yunxia. What would his two grandsons do if they found out?

"What else could it be? Xiao Chu is too young and only tells half the story. Perhaps she likes Guo Hua, but most importantly, Yang Yunxia is a very ambitious person."

You know what kind of situation the Yang family is in. As long as you scheme to marry your son into the Xia family, it will be much better than her staying in the Yang family.

"Call her later and tell her I'm sick and ask her to come and take care of me, because you're too old to take care of me."

"But"

"No buts, I want her to take care of me."

Yang Yunxia had enjoyed a comfortable life in the Xia family for over twenty years. Grandma Xia feared she wouldn't be able to die in peace if she didn't vent her anger. She had been kind her whole life, and now she wanted to try being a wicked mother-in-law for once.
