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

"Brother, sister-in-law, let's talk about Xiao Chu first."

Xia Guoan miscalculated. He thought that if he told Lin Weidong and his wife about Pei Shizhou, they would object to Pei Shizhou and Xiao Chu dating.

Unexpectedly, the more the two talked, the more satisfied they became with Pei Shizhou, so he quickly stepped forward to interrupt their conversation.

"What to do? What to do? Why didn't you ask me what to do before this happened?"

Lin Weidong said irritably that everyone could see Xia Guoan becoming extremely agitated whenever he spoke to him. Lin's mother, however, wasn't surprised; it had happened before when Wei Hong was around.

Her husband had always looked down on Xia Guoan, but he was able to restrain himself somewhat back then. Now that Wei Hong's death is related to Xia Guoan, the only reason he's standing here talking to him is because of Xiao Chu.

Lin's mother understood her husband's actions. They had limited resources and could only support Xiao Chu. They couldn't provide her with a better life, nor could they offer much help with her future.

With Xia Guoan as her biological father and the Xia family around, Xiao Chu's future won't be too bad.

"Big brother, I..."

"You, you, you what, you?"

Xia Guoan felt wronged. His older brother had been very supportive of him when he came home last year, so why had he changed his attitude now?

"Alright, Lao Lin, the National Security Bureau only called us to Pengcheng because they were thinking of Xiao Chu. Let's ask Xiao Chu properly and see if the spy situation is really as the National Security Bureau suspects."

If that's really the case, Xiao Chu really needs to be disciplined. To prevent her from repeating the same mistake, she's far too careless with her own life.

Lin Weidong was furious, and he felt he had to vent his anger after all the worry he had caused during the long journey. He also knew his wife was right; now was not the time to argue with Xia Guoan, Xiao Chu's matter was more important.

"I'll go wake Xiao Chu up."

Lin Weidong didn't want to wait for Xia Yichu to wake up on her own for even a moment, even if Xia Yichu didn't know about the spy affair. He still thought it was true that she had run away with the kidnappers last year; he had just confirmed it with Pei Shizhou.

"Dad, should I go and wake Xiao Chu up?"

Seeing her father's furious expression, Lin Xingyao felt a pang of worry for Xia Yichu. Although her father had never hit her before, everyone was afraid of him when he lost his temper, including her mother and uncle.

"That's right! Dad, why don't we have Xingyao go and wake Xiaochu up first?"

Huang Shaosong chimed in, saying that his father-in-law had rushed to the county town by taxi that morning. After telling them about Xiao Chu, his mother-in-law was so anxious and frightened that she fainted on the spot.

Xingyao pressed her philtrum and she woke up. Once awake, she insisted on coming to Pengcheng. Seeing his parents-in-law and Xingyao in such a panicked state that they were completely indecisive, Huang Shaosong was worried that something might happen to them.

He called his younger brother, Huang Shaogang, and asked them to let their father and brother's girlfriend take care of their son. Then, they immediately brought them to Shenzhen.

"No need. No one can plead for Xia Yichu this time."

Lin Weidong was so angry that he called her by her full name and vowed in his heart to give Xia Yichu a good scare.

"mom"

Seeing that her father had already run into Xia Yichu's room, Lin Xingyao called out to her mother.

"It's alright! Your dad knows what he's doing."

Lin's mother calmly said that she wanted to teach Xia Yichu a lesson. However, she wasn't in a hurry; she would let her husband go first, and she would wait.

At this moment, Pei Shizhou came out of the kitchen with several glasses of water and greeted them, "Aunt, cousin, cousin-in-law, and..."

"Hello, my name is Shaogang, and Xingyao is my sister-in-law."

Pei Shizhou smiled and nodded, handing water to everyone and inviting them to sit at the stone table.

"Uncle Xia, come and have some water."

Xia Guoan stood at Xia Yichu's window, peering out, fearing that Lin Weidong would hit Xia Yichu. He didn't want Lin Weidong to physically assault her; he just wanted Lin Weidong to give Xia Yichu a few verbal reprimands and that would be the end of it.

I'm not thirsty.

Just then, Lin Weidong's roar came from inside the room: "Xia Yichu, get up!"

Everyone was startled by the roar, and Lin Xingyao looked towards the room with concern.

Xia Yichu opened her eyes sleepily and was pulled out of bed by Lin Weidong. Then, she looked up and saw Lin Weidong looking furious.

"Uncle, what brings you here?"

Xia Yichu rubbed her eyes and asked groggily, "Am I dreaming?"

"Xia Yichu, you're getting bolder and bolder. You knew they were a spy's family, yet you still dared to go to their house for dinner."

Taking advantage of Xia Yichu's dazed state after waking up, Lin Weidong planned to trick her.

"Uncle, how did you know about this?"

Sure enough, Xia Yichu didn't think much of it and stared at her uncle in disbelief. Oh no, she was doomed. She must still be dreaming and having a nightmare. Yes, that must be it. She quickly lay down and closed her eyes to sleep.

"Ah... Uncle, it hurts."

Hearing this voice, Xia Guoan couldn't hold back any longer and rushed in.

"Big brother, don't hit Xiao Chu, it's all my fault, hit me instead!" he said as he walked in, seemingly ready to die.

"Now that you feel pain, do you still think you're dreaming?"

Xia Guoan came in and saw Xia Yichu sleeping on the bed, with Lin Weidong twisting her ear. He rushed over and pried Lin Weidong's hand off.

"Big brother, you're not allowed to hit Xiao Chu."

"Don't pretend to be kind. Didn't you ask me to come and educate Xiao Chu?"

Lin Weidong exposed Xia Guoan without hesitation. Xia Guoan looked at Xia Yichu nervously and said, "Big brother, I didn't ask you to hit Xiao Chu."

"Xia Guoan, I kindly helped you catch the spy, and you betrayed me."

Xia Yichu was furious, and Xia Guoan lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look at her.

"Xia Yichu, get up. Let's go outside and talk this out."

Lin Weidong tossed a coat to Xia Yichu, then walked out. Halfway there, he turned back and patted Xia Guoan on the shoulder, saying, "Guoan, you did the right thing this time. If anything like this happens again, be sure to tell me."

"Big brother, really?"

Xia Guoan immediately straightened his back and looked at Lin Weidong with bright eyes.

Lin Weidong nodded, "Of course, Xiao Chu is a disobedient child. He must tell me if anything happens in the future."

Upon hearing this, Xia Guoan's face broke into a fawning smile. Xia Yichu thought angrily, "My uncle is fooling Xia Guoan again." This time, however, she was the one directly involved, which made her a little unhappy.

She quickly put on her coat and followed Lin Weidong and Xia Guoan outside. Everyone looked at Lin Weidong and Xia Guoan with bewildered expressions. The two of them went in and came out chatting and laughing, arm in arm, while Xia Yichu followed behind them dejectedly.

"Xiao Chu"

Lin Xingyao hurried over and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xia Yichu was alright. She had wanted to go in earlier, but her mother wouldn't let her, saying that her father wouldn't hit Xia Yichu.

"Sister, Aunt, Brother-in-law, Brother Shaogang, why are you all here?"

Xia Yichu was overjoyed and said, "Everyone's here, so my uncle shouldn't make things difficult for me!"

"Xiao Chu, you scared us to death!"

Lin Xingyao said with lingering fear that Xia Yichu then noticed that Lin Xingyao and her aunt's eyes were a little red and swollen.

Logically, Xia Guoan should have only dared to inform his uncle and the others after she was out of danger. Now that they all know she's safe, they shouldn't be acting like this.

"Yes! When Mom found out you were kidnapped this morning, she was so worried she fainted," Huang Shaosong continued.

"Aunt, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"

Xia Yichu nervously walked over to Lin's mother's side, looking at her with a worried expression. Lin's mother glanced at her but didn't say anything.

"Xiao Chu, go wash your face before you come back."

Lin Weidong didn't want to talk about what happened that morning anymore; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist cursing Xia Guoan again.

"Okay, Shizhou, take good care of my uncle and the others."

"OK"
