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

"Grandma, how have you been feeling lately?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Yang Yunxia ate the cold dumplings, gritting her teeth in hatred. Every time she saw Pei Shizhou, she would think of Zhou Wenhui.

"Xiao Chu, when are you arriving in Kyoto?"

"Grandpa, I took a plane this morning and arrived at two o'clock."

Grandpa Xia looked at Xia Yichu and then at Pei Shizhou. There was definitely something going on between the two of them. Pei Shizhou's eyes hadn't left his granddaughter since he sat down.

"Qingyan has been thinking about you a lot. She asked Zhiheng to go see you before she went to work today, but you didn't come to Kyoto. Do you want to call her now from home and let her know?"

"Grandpa, no need, I'm going to my sister-in-law's house later."

Xia Yichu wanted to see her child, as it had been almost half a month since they last met.

"Okay, Shizhou, aren't you busy lately? I heard from your grandfather a while ago that he hadn't seen you in a long time. How come you have time to come and visit Xiaochu with us?"

Grandpa Xia subtly inquired about their relationship, but Grandma Xia didn't care and held Xia Yichu's hand tightly. She told her to eat more, not to overwork herself, and to tell her if she had any money.

"Grandpa Xia, Grandma Xia, there's something I want to tell you."

Pei Shizhou stood up and said with a serious expression that Xia Yichu had agreed to date him on the way here, and he wanted to make it official with the Xia family elders.

That way, the Xia brothers, Xia Zhiheng and Xia Zhiqian, won't be able to stop him from being with Xia Yichu. He has to deal with the Xia family first. And then there's the Lin family to get past; just thinking about it gives him a headache.

Xia Yichu stared at Pei Shizhou. She had just agreed to try dating him. Now he wanted to make it public. What if they didn't work out and she wanted to break up later?

"Xiao Chu and I are dating, don't worry, I..."

With a loud crash, Yang Yunxia, ​​on her way to the kitchen with her bowl after finishing her dumplings, accidentally dropped and broke it after hearing Pei Shizhou's words. Everyone looked at her.

"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, my hand slipped."

She lowered her head to hide her expression. More than twenty years ago, she was able to break up Zhou Wenhui and Xia Guohua. Now she could break up Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu too. She would definitely not let Zhou Wenhui's son be with the person he liked.

"Quickly sweep up the shards so no one gets hurt."

"Okay, Dad."

Yang Yunxia responded and grabbed a broom and dustpan to sweep up the broken pieces on the ground. Xia Yichu had been observing Yang Yunxia and naturally saw the hatred in her eyes.

Xia Yichu couldn't understand whether Yang Yunxia hated her or Pei Shizhou. In her previous life, she had never seen Pei Shizhou at the Xia family home. Although the Xia family and Pei Shizhou's maternal grandfather were old friends, Yang Yunxia always caused trouble whenever she came to the Xia family home. Xia Zhiheng was crippled again, and the elderly couple of the Xia family had passed away early.

So it's unclear whether Yang Yunxia and Pei Shizhou have any grudges or grievances, or whether Yang Yunxia dislikes Zhou Wenhui, which is why she dislikes Pei Shizhou as well.

Grandpa Xia turned to Pei Shizhou and said, "Shizhou, Xiao Chu is still in college."

"It's alright, Grandpa Xia, I can wait."

Grandpa Xia rolled his eyes. Was this a matter of waiting? Xiao Chu was six years younger than him! Grandpa Xia looked at Grandma Xia, hoping she would say something.

"If Xiao Chu is happy, I have no objection. Shi Zhou, we only have this one granddaughter, so I hope you will treat her well."

Knowing that her eldest son had been tricked and lost his love, Grandma Xia only wanted Xia Yichu to be with the person she loved. She also trusted the Zhou family's character; Pei Shizhou had grown up in the Zhou family, so his character was definitely sound. Xiao Chu also had the cost of making mistakes; she was still young, and if she didn't like him later, they could break up.

"Grandma Xia, I truly love Xiao Chu and will treat her well for the rest of my life."

Yang Yunxia sarcastically washed the dishes in the kitchen. "Treat her well for life," she said. "Didn't Xia Guohua make the same promise to your mother? In the end, he still married me, didn't he? Pei Shizhou, some things shouldn't be said too soon."

"Grandpa and Grandma, it's getting late. I need to go to my sister-in-law's house. We'll be going now."

Xia Yichu saw Yang Yunxia washing dishes in the kitchen. She looked much more haggard in the past two weeks, and Grandma Xia didn't seem to be doing much better either.

"it is good"

With Pei Shizhou around, Grandpa and Grandma Xia weren't worried about Xia Yichu's safety.

"Grandma, be careful."

As Xia Yichu spoke, her eyes drifted toward the kitchen, and Grandma Xia understood what she meant.

"Don't worry! I'm fine. There are still many things I haven't figured out, but I'll take good care of myself."

With Yang Yunxia in the kitchen, Xia Yichu didn't fill the thermos with water from the space for Grandma Xia.

Pei Shizhou and the two elderly people in the Xia family left with reluctant eyes. No sooner had they left than Yang Yunxia came out after washing the dishes.

"Mom and Dad, you need to think carefully about Shi Zhou and Xiao Chu dating. He's six years older than Xiao Chu, and Feng Ya Rou isn't easy to get along with, nor are her two children. I'm worried that Xiao Chu will suffer if she marries into the Pei family."

Grandpa Xia also had this concern. Although Pei Shizhou was not currently living with Pei Feng's family, Pei Feng was still Pei Shizhou's biological father and would be Xiao Chu's elder in the future.

"Alright, it's none of your business what Xiao Chu does. You should mind your own business. Oh, and mop the floor."

Yang Yunxia's face turned pale and then red as Grandma Xia spoke to her. What's wrong with that old hag lately? She always speaks in a sarcastic tone, never letting her catch her breath.

She was constantly being ordered around to do chores; the floor had just been mopped last night, but she had to mop it again today. Yang Yunxia cursed inwardly, but dared not disobey, so she could only pick up the mop and start mopping.

"Old woman, take it easy, don't push Yang Yunxia too far."

Grandpa Xia knew his wife was holding a grudge. Their son was gone, and now they had two grandsons and a great-grandson. He hated Yang Yunxia, ​​and he didn't want anything to happen to his wife.

"What can she do if I push her too far? I'm going to push her."

"Wang Fengxian is capable of drugging people, I'm just afraid that if I push her too far, she'll learn from her mother and drug us too."

"That's even better. Starting tomorrow, don't eat anything she cooks. Let her poison me to death. Then you can call the police and have her arrested, and she'll pay with her life."

Grandpa Xia started to panic when he saw his wife speaking so earnestly.

Are you serious?

"right"

Grandma Xia has been having recurring dreams about her eldest son's wedding lately, but the bride isn't Yang Yunxia. It's Zhou Wenhui, and the two of them are holding hands, waving goodbye to Grandma Xia.

"You don't want to see Xiao Chu get married? Aren't you afraid Shi Zhou will bully her? She's been without a mother or father since she was little. Can you bear to abandon her? And me? Don't you want me anymore?"

Grandma Xia sat in the car and wept silently. Having Yang Yunxia come to her home to take care of her was also a form of torture for her.

"Mom and Dad, does the room need to be mopped?"

"No need, your mother is asleep."

"Okay."

"It's better not to mop," Yang Yunxia put the mop away. She thought to herself that Xia Yichu probably didn't know about Pei Shizhou's family situation; she was just captivated by his looks. She'd find an opportunity to tell her in the next couple of days.

Xia Yichu and Su Qingyan were sitting on the sofa in her house, while Pei Shizhou was called downstairs by Xia Zhiheng to chat.
