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

"Uncle, eat a bowl of porridge first, but don't eat too much. You can have another bowl in two hours."

Xia Yichu cooked the porridge and asked Xia Zhiqian to take it to Xia's grandparents' house. She also called her uncle down to eat the porridge.

"it is good"

When Lin's father woke up from his nap, he felt nothing except for being hungry.

"Xiao Chu, the porridge you cooked is delicious."

Lin's father wolfed down a bowl of porridge; he was truly starving. Bang, bang, bang—there was knocking at the door. Xia Yichu knew it was the Yang family.

"I'll go open the door."

"Xiao Cheng, go check if the chicken soup inside is ready yet."

After exchanging a few words, the knocking on the door grew louder. Lin Xingcheng frowned; it seemed like the person knocking was there to cause trouble.

"Who is it?" Xia Yichu asked from inside the door without opening it.

"Who are you? I'm Yang Yunxia's mother. Open the door quickly!" Old Mrs. Yang said in a strong voice.

"No, I don't know you, you can't open the door."

"Open the door right now! Where's Yang Yunxia? Get out here!"

"Xiao Chu, who is that?"

Lin's father came out to check on them, worried because they were staying at someone else's house and none of the Xia family members were there. In Lin's father's heart, Xia Yichu was a member of the Lin family, and his sister wouldn't let him change Xiao Chu's surname.

She said she was Zhiqian's maternal grandmother.

"Then open the door."

As soon as Lin's father opened the door, an old lady and two women in their forties stormed in.

"Who are you? What are you doing at my daughter's house?"

"I am Xia Guoan's daughter. It was the Xia family who let me stay here first."

Nearby residents came out to see what was going on. Some people saw Xia Guoan return home in the morning, and his neighbors even greeted him.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you little bitch? Everyone knows my grandson's uncle is unmarried and could never have a daughter as old as you."

"Old woman, watch your mouth. What business is it of yours whether Xia Guoan is married or has a daughter?"

"Yes! Look how anxious Grandma Yang is," a neighbor said. Everyone in the neighborhood knows that Grandma Yang often comes to their house to beg for money.

"Yeah! Anyone who didn't know better would think their son-in-law had a daughter on the side!" another neighbor chimed in.

"You... who are you? I'm going to report you to the police for trespassing."

"Could this be Yunxia's boyfriend?" An older woman's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

"Guohua has been gone for so many years, it's normal for Yunxia to look for him again."

The neighbors were very curious about Lin's father, and they started discussing him in front of everyone.

"Dear neighbors, I am Xia Guoan's brother-in-law. There are some things you can't say carelessly. Xia Guoan's house isn't ready yet, so my niece and I are staying here for a few days."

My niece's aunt lives with my grandparents, and Xiaoqian lives with us too. He just went out. If you don't believe me, wait until he gets home and ask him.

"Impossible. Xia Guoan isn't married, so where would he get a daughter? We're in-laws; we know best whether he's married or not."

"No, Grandma Yang, Xia Guoan is married. I heard he married a wife when he was sent to the countryside as part of the Cultural Revolution." The neighbor next door to the Xia family said that Xia Guoan's mother told him this herself.

"Big sister, you're so smart. That's right, Xia Guoan married my sister."

Yang Yunxia's mother and two sisters-in-law only then remembered this matter, and their expressions turned sour. It seemed that this girl really was Xia Guoan's daughter; upon closer inspection, she looked somewhat like Zhiheng.

"I don't care, you can't live in my daughter's house, get out now."

"Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about? It was my mom, grandpa, and grandma who invited Uncle Lin and my sister to stay at our house. You can't kick them out."

"Dear aunties, uncles, and cousins, please go back and eat. Grandma, and both aunts, please come inside and talk."

Xia Zhiqian didn't want others to laugh at him. He had disliked the Yang family since he was a child, and he would avoid going to their house unless it was during holidays.

"Zhiqian, where's your mother? Go find her and bring her back quickly."

"Grandma, my mom is at Grandpa and Grandma's house. If you need anything, go find her there. It's not convenient for her to come home right now."

"What a joke! What's inconvenient about her own home? I don't care, I'm waiting for her to come back here today, and I won't leave until she does."

Yang's mother refused to go to Old Lady Xia's place, as she always got nowhere there and her words were always shut down by Old Lady Xia.

"Grandma, can you please stop making a scene? We have guests at home, and it's inconvenient for my mom to come back."

"It's up to you. I'm not leaving until I see your mother."

They had just come in, and Xia Yichu pulled the Lin family father and son to the kitchen to eat. While they were eating, her eldest uncle sat by the kitchen door, listening intently to Xia Zhiqian and the others' conversation.

Xia Yichu knew that Yang's mother was not so easy to please, so she planned to take the Lin family father and son to stay at a guesthouse after dinner. She didn't want the food she cooked to be given to the Yang family for nothing.

"Uncle, don't worry! We'll go back to Pengcheng after one more day. We won't have many chances to see the Yang family again. After dinner, we'll go to the guesthouse and buy some things for Aunt and Sister tomorrow."

Once the Yang family finds out that Xia Guoan gave her the house and money, they'll definitely cause her more trouble. She doesn't want her uncle to worry, and she has her own way of handling things.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Outside the living room, Xia Zhiqian was still trying to persuade his grandmother to go home first, but Grandma Yang sat there without moving an inch.

"My two aunts, say something!"

"Xiaoqian, your grandma is getting old. If you don't go along with her, she'll get angry, and getting angry can harm her health."

As soon as Li Xiuzhen finished speaking, Yang's mother pretended to feel dizzy. Yang's mother often used this trick to control Yang Yunxia.

"Brother Zhiqian, come in for a moment."

"it is good"

Xia Zhiqian was at his wit's end, not knowing what to do. Xia Yichu called him, which gave him a chance to leave.

"Xiao Chu, what's wrong?"

"Never mind them, let's eat first. We've almost finished eating."

Xia Yichu handed him a bowl of rice, but he and Xiao Cheng couldn't eat it. They didn't want to give the Yang family any free rice, since the food was all cooked with spiritual spring water.

Xia Zhiqian took the food and started eating. He finished all the rice, dishes and soup. It was so delicious that he accidentally ate too much.

"Mom, what do we do now?"

"No need to rush, we'll just wait."

"But I'm hungry, and I think I smell chicken soup."

"Zhang Xiaohua, all you ever do is eat." As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiuzhen's stomach growled.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you hungry too?"

"You..." This bitch, she gave birth to three sons, and she's still the one who's superior to her.

"Okay, stop arguing. Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian, I'm hungry."

Xia Zhiqian was washing dishes after finishing his meal when he heard his grandmother calling him. He almost dropped the bowl and felt a little guilty.

"Brother Zhiqian, let's go upstairs to collect our clothes and stay at the guesthouse for the night. We'll head back to Shenzhen tomorrow."

"No, I'll go tell my uncle first."

"No need, I'll go see Grandpa and Grandma Xia tomorrow at noon."

Xia Yichu left before he could speak. The three members of the Yang family watched them come out, then watched them walk past them and go upstairs.

"People from small towns are ill-mannered; they don't even greet you."

"Yeah, yeah, Mom, what do you think they're doing in the kitchen? Are they sneaking food?"

Zhang Xiaohua thought it was possible more and more, so she quickly ran to the kitchen to see what was going on and saw that Xia Zhiqian had just finished washing the dishes.

"You little rascal, Xia Zhiqian! You were sneaking food in the kitchen! Mom, Mom, they really were sneaking food in the kitchen! I told you I smelled chicken soup, and I saw them throwing chicken bones in the trash!"

"Auntie, how can eating at my own house be considered stealing food?"

At first, Xia Zhiqian was indeed embarrassed, but when he heard Zhang Xiaohua say that he had stolen food, he instantly became unhappy.
