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

Zhou Miaoying looked at Xia Yichu with difficulty. She was the one who brought Xia Yichu, and she was left to make the decision herself.

"Shizhou, wait downstairs for a moment, I'll be right down when I'm done trying it out."

"Oh well"

Pei Shizhou reluctantly agreed. Seeing that he had agreed, several of Zhou Miaoying's brothers went over to invite Pei Shizhou to sit down.

Xia Yichu had already followed Zhou Miaoying upstairs. Zhou Miaoying's room upstairs was decorated warmly and festively, with bright red "double happiness" characters pasted on the windows and the bed piled with brand new quilts and pillows.

Zhou Miaoying opened the wardrobe, took out a beautiful dress, and held it up against Xia Yichu.

"Xiao Chu, this is a bridesmaid dress I bought especially for you. Take a look and see if you like it."

Xia Yichu examined it carefully and saw that the bridesmaid dress was exquisite in both material and style.

The dress is light pink with a white ribbon tied at the waist. The hem sways gently in the breeze, like a blooming flower.

Zhou Miaoying urged her to go in and try it on quickly, and she picked up her clothes and went into the dressing room to change.

A moment later, Xia Yichu slowly walked out. Zhou Miaoying's eyes lit up instantly, and she clapped excitedly, "Xia Yichu, you look so beautiful! I knew you would look good in that."

Xia Yichu walked to the mirror and was amazed by her own reflection. The pink dress accentuated her snow-white skin, her delicate collarbones were faintly visible, and her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, giving her a fresh and charming aura.

Zhou Miaoying circled her several times, praising her repeatedly, "This dress is simply tailor-made for you!"

Xia Yichu smiled shyly, looking down at her dress. Was it inappropriate for her to wear this to Zhou Miaoying's wedding?

"Sister-in-law, how about I change my clothes?"

Xia Zhiqian said that they had gotten their marriage certificate, so Zhou Miaoying didn't feel embarrassed when Xia Yichu called her that.

"What? You don't like this dress?"

"No, I really like it, it's just that I don't think it's appropriate for me to wear this to your wedding."

"Xiao Chu, are you afraid of stealing my thunder? Don't worry, I don't mind. You're already prettier than me."

"And this bridesmaid dress isn't just for you; I have another bridesmaid tomorrow, and I bought two identical dresses."

Xia Yichu was about to speak again when there was a knock on the door.

"I'll go open the door."

Zhou Miaoying went to open the door, and there were her aunt and Pei Shizhou.

"Auntie, Brother Shizhou, what's the matter?"

Pei Shizhou, standing at 1.88 meters tall, was a head taller than Zhou Miaoying. His eyes looked directly past her at Xia Yichu inside. He was stunned by Xia Yichu's beauty and wondered when it would be his turn to marry her.

"Shizhou said he wanted to come up and see if you were done, so I brought him up to take a look."

Aunt Chunhua didn't mention that Zhou Miaoying's brothers downstairs were stopping Pei Shizhou from coming up, saying it was inconvenient for the two girls to be upstairs.

Pei Shizhou said that there was nothing inconvenient about Xia Yichu being his girlfriend, and finally decided to have Aunt Chunhua bring him up, otherwise the other brothers would not agree.

"Almost there, Shi Zhou. Why don't you go downstairs and wait for Xiao Chu to change her clothes before you go downstairs?"

Pei Shizhou was completely oblivious to what Zhou Miaoying was saying, his eyes fixed on Xia Yichu.

Xia Yichu felt embarrassed by his gaze and went into the dressing room to change. It has to be said that the Zhou family really dotes on their daughter, Zhou Miaoying; the entire 100 square meters of the second floor has been turned into rooms for her.

Inside, there is a walk-in closet of about 20 square meters, and a toilet and bathroom of about 20 square meters. The room is furnished with a sofa, a coffee table, and a television.

"No need, I'll wait at the door."

After Xia Yichu left, Pei Shizhou reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

"What are you doing?"

Xia Zhiqian had told her that Pei Shizhou liked Xia Yichu, but Pei Shizhou had never dared to stare at Xia Yichu so openly before.

"Sister-in-law, you can just call me by my name from now on. It's not appropriate to call me 'brother.' Xiao Chu and I are dating."

Therefore, even though he is older than Xia Zhiqian, he will still have to call him brother, just like Xia Yichu.

"Okay."

Zhou Miaoying was quite surprised. Just over ten days ago, Zhiqian had told her that Xiao Chu didn't like Pei Shizhou, and that it wouldn't be easy for Pei Shizhou to win over his sister. She believed it was true; Pei Shizhou was handsome, and it was only a matter of time before Xia Yichu fell for him.

Xia Zhiqian said he was too old and disliked his complicated family situation. In Zhou Miaoying's view, these were not problems. He had a stepmother who had never raised Pei Shizhou for a single day, and a father who was not close to him except for blood ties.

From now on, Xia Yichu will feel no pressure at all when interacting with them. The Pei family will be like familiar strangers to her. She won't have to worry about anything, and there won't be any conflicts between her and her mother-in-law. How wonderful!

Moreover, Pei Shizhou's maternal family is reasonable and has a long-standing friendship with Xia's grandparents. As long as Xia Yichu doesn't care about other people's opinions and ignores the Pei family, they are much better than her. Who knows what kind of trouble her mother-in-law might cause in the future.

Since her eldest brother joined the army, Zhiqian has never used a single penny of her mother-in-law's money. When they were young, after their grandparents returned from the Northwest, the two brothers' tuition and living expenses were all paid for by the elderly couple.

Hearing that her father-in-law's pension was being used by her mother-in-law for her own family, Zhou Miaoying felt anxious about her future relationship with Yang Yunxia.

Although Xia Zhiqian told her not to worry about anything her mother might do in the future, and that he and his older brother would take care of her and would never let her or her sister-in-law be given a chance to be troubled by his mother, it's not that easy. Just because you say you won't care doesn't mean you really can't care.

"Wait a minute, I'll go check if Xiao Chu is done yet."

Zhou Miaoying closed the door, and Xia Yichu opened the door and came out as soon as she entered the dressing room.

"sister in law"

"I've changed. The clothes fit perfectly. I can take them home and wear them tomorrow."

"No, I'll come earlier tomorrow to change it."

Xia Yichu didn't want to be stared at by others while wearing this outfit.

"Xiao Chu, why don't you come over and sleep with me tonight? The makeup artist will come to my house to do my makeup first thing tomorrow morning, and I'll have her do your makeup too."

"Okay, I'll come keep you company tonight. You can skip the makeup."

Xia Yichu was already embarrassed wearing such a beautiful dress, so she didn't want to put on makeup at all.

"Okay, I don't mind if you dress up nicely."

"Sister-in-law, no way! I'll dress up for my wedding and stun everyone then."

"Haha, great, you'd be stunning even without makeup. Did you see the way Shi Zhou looked at you just now? He couldn't take his eyes off you. By the way, are you two really together?"

"Um"

"You're still young and in school, so be careful about your boundaries when you're with him. Hold onto your principles until you get married, and don't let yourself get taken advantage of."

Girls always seem to get the short end of the stick in these kinds of situations. Don't let a few sweet words from him sway you and make you act recklessly.

Zhou Miaoying, seeing that Xia Yichu had grown up without a mother and now that the Lin family wasn't around, couldn't help but say a few more words. Despite her usually carefree demeanor, her mother hadn't skimped on teaching her anything she needed to.

"Sister-in-law, I understand."

Xia Yichu was quite touched that Zhou Miaoying would say these things to her. In her past life, Zhou Miaoying had always ignored her and even seemed to have scolded her. However, she deserved what she got for her own actions and had no one else to blame.

"I was originally planning to wear my wedding dress to show you, but since Shizhou is getting impatient, you guys can leave now! I'll wear it for you tonight."
