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

"Brother, why don't we eat first?"

Xia Guoan asked cautiously, while Pei Shizhou had already taken out the food. Pei Shizhou had originally planned to take the Lin family out to eat at a restaurant, but seeing the situation, that wouldn't be possible.

"Eat, eat, all you do is eat. So you're not worried about Xiao Chu at all since she didn't grow up by your side?"

Lin Weidong's anger flared up again when he heard Xia Guoan speak.

"Brother, no, I didn't."

I should have known better than to say that. Lin Weidong was acting like a good buddy to him just now, and now he's bringing him up again.

"Old Lin, alright, everyone come and eat."

Sitting at the dining table, Lin's mother said that she was tired and hungry, but she couldn't keep up with her husband's crazy antics.

She had plenty of ways to deal with Xia Yichu, who spent more time with her than with her husband. Although Xia Yichu's personality had changed quite a bit recently, she could still easily control her.

"you…"

Why is his wife contradicting him? Shouldn't they be on the same side and fighting side by side?

"What? Are you also trying to say I'm not worried about Xiao Chu?" Lin's mother rolled her eyes at him and asked.

"No, that's not what I meant. Anyone who says you're not worried about Xiao Chu, I'll never forgive them."

Lin Weidong looked at Xia Guoan and said this, while Xia Guoan stared wide-eyed in disbelief. No, what did this have to do with him? How could he dare say such a thing?

"That's right, from childhood to adulthood, my aunt has always loved me the most," Xia Yichu quickly said.

"Stop flattering me. Wait until I'm full and have the energy to deal with you."

That won't do. Her uncle alone is enough of a headache for her. She's waiting for her aunt to help persuade her uncle! Xia Yichu walked over with a fawning expression, then put her hands on Lin's mother's shoulders and vigorously massaged them.

"Auntie, you've worked hard. How's the pressure?"

Everyone laughed at Xia Yichu's appearance, and the atmosphere eased temporarily.

"Not bad, what are you all standing there for? Come and eat, aren't you hungry?"

As everyone went over to eat, Lin Weidong didn't dare to mention hitting the wall again. He obediently sat down to eat, not even glancing at Xia Yichu.

"Xiao Chu, I'll take care of it. You go eat."

Pei Shizhou walked over to Xia Yichu and said, "Xiao Chu ate a bowl of porridge this morning before bed, she must be hungry now."

"Shizhou, come and eat. Don't worry about her, she's not hungry. She ate her fill at the spy's house, she can skip a few meals without any problems."

Lin Weidong said sarcastically, and everyone, including Xia Guoan, tried to suppress their laughter. It turned out that this was what it felt like to hear Lin Weidong swearing when you weren't actually there.

"Yes, I'm not hungry yet, Shizhou, you should go eat."

Xia Yichu dared not say anything and could only grit her teeth and agree.

"Alright, alright, go eat too. Don't make it seem like I'm abusing you," Lin's mother waved her hand impatiently.

"Thank you, Auntie. I knew you cared about me the most."

Xia Yichu hugged Lin's mother's neck from behind and acted coquettishly before letting go. Pei Shizhou then gave Xia Yichu a box of food.

"Thanks"

Xia Yichu took her food to a corner to eat, hoping that her uncle would let her go after he finished eating and stop forcing her to make a vow. Pei Shizhou sat next to her.

"Shi Zhou, how did my uncle know about my kidnapping last year? Did you tell him?" Xia Yichu asked in an unfriendly tone.

"I'm innocent! I didn't say that."

He only told Uncle Xia about it, but not her eldest uncle, so he wasn't lying.

"If it really wasn't you who said it, then who was? That's outrageous! Can't you just give me a break? Telling my uncle two things at once, are you trying to kill me?" Xia Yichu said angrily.

"What are you muttering about? Aren't you hungry?"

"Uncle, I'm hungry, let's eat right away."

Xia Yichu dared not speak again and buried her head in her food. She would ask her uncle and aunt for clarification when they returned.

"Now that everyone's full, Xiao Chu, come here. What's your decision? Do you want me to die now, or swear on my death?"

Xia Yichu stopped in her tracks, wondering if her uncle had eyes in the back of his head.

"Uncle, you must be tired. Go wash up and go to bed! We can talk about this tomorrow. Also, don't keep talking about death; it's bad luck."

Xia Yichu came over and said ingratiatingly that perhaps her uncle would calm down by tomorrow and stop pressuring her.

"No, I'm not tired."

"Uncle, you may not be tired, but my aunt and uncle must be exhausted. Here's what we'll do: you and your aunt stay here with my sister, and Shizhou can take your brother-in-law and Shaogang to the guesthouse."

Tonight, she, her aunt, and her sister are sleeping together. She'll be trying to appease her aunt. They need her help persuading her uncle tomorrow, as she's the only one who can talk him out of it.

"Okay, then let your aunt go take a shower first. Shizhou, you take them to the guesthouse. Xiaochu, you've slept all day, and I'm not tired either. Come sit on the sofa and think it over. It's okay, I'll wait for you as long as you want. By the way, Guoan, are you tired?"

Hearing Lin Weidong's concern for him, Xia Guoan immediately perked up and said, "Brother, I'm not tired."

"Okay, then we'll wait together, and you'll be my witness."

"it is good"

It wasn't that Xia Guoan wasn't worried about Lin Weidong, but rather that he simply didn't believe in ghosts and spirits. He didn't understand why Xia Yichu, a young girl, would be so averse to these things.

"Auntie, please save me! My uncle is pressuring me again. Is that oath something you can just make so casually? What if something happens to my uncle? How am I supposed to live?"

Xia Yichu grabbed Lin's mother's arm as she was about to take a shower, pleading with tears in her eyes. Lin's mother patted her hand.

"Alright, stop playing the victim. Your uncle is just worried about you, so just go along with him and make a vow to put his mind at ease."

Xia Yichu stamped her foot anxiously, "Auntie, you can't just make such a solemn oath. If something unexpected happens, I can't bear the responsibility."

Lin Weidong sneered from the side, "You can even go to the dens of kidnappers and the hideouts of spies, what's wrong with making an oath?"

Xia Yichu bit her lip, her heart filled with conflict. No, she couldn't make a solemn oath using her uncle. They didn't understand; she had been reborn, there must be cause and effect in this world.

Perhaps in her past life she had caused the deaths of her kind uncle and aunt's family, and even Heaven couldn't bear to see it, so it allowed her to be reborn to atone for her sins.

Suddenly, Xia Yichu knelt heavily on the ground with a thud. Kowtowing, she pleaded, "Uncle, I beg you, I really know I was wrong, I'll never do it again."

"Xiao Chu, stop kowtowing."

Pei Shizhou held Xia Yichu's hand tenderly; her forehead was red from kowtowing. Lin Weidong also felt a pang of pity, but when he thought of Xia Yichu's audacious nature, he suppressed his reluctance.

"Xiao Chu, Dad, since Xiao Chu knows she was wrong, let's leave it at that!" Lin Xingyao said, pulling her father along.

"Brother, maybe we should just forget about it."

"Fine, then let me ask you this: if Xiao Chu gets herself killed next time, who's going to take responsibility?"

Lin Weidong's words silenced everyone who wanted to advise him. Actually, Lin Weidong was quite surprised; if Xia Yichu had readily sworn an oath, he would have had other ways to torment her.

However, to his surprise, Xia Yichu absolutely refused to use his oath. This discovery made him realize that Xia Yichu not only believed in these things, but also cared about him a lot, which made him a little happy.
