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

Xia Guoan didn't wake up until after 1 a.m., shouting, "Mom!"

Then, he sat up in a cold sweat, awakened by a nightmare. He looked up at his father's bed and saw that his father had groggily opened his eyes, realizing that he had also been asleep.

"dad"

There was no one else in the ward. Before Grandpa Xia could speak, the people outside heard Xia Guoan shouting and pushed open the door to come in.

"Mr. Xia, what happened?"

It was Zhang Huaitong. He went home and took a nap in the morning. He came to take over his colleague's shift at noon, and Xia Zhiqian was following behind him.

"It's alright, Zhiqian. Has your grandma woken up yet?"

As Xia Guoan asked the question, he picked up the watch from the cabinet and put it on. He looked at the watch and saw that it was already past one o'clock. He frowned as he put on his shoes and coat.

"Uncle, Grandma woke up this morning. I just went to check on her, and she's sleeping now."

"I'm really awake! That's great! Why didn't anyone wake me up?"

Xia Guoan put on his coat and said with dissatisfaction, "No one woke me up for something so important."

"Why did I wake you up? You're not a doctor."

Grandpa Xia muttered to himself that he hadn't been sleeping much these past two days because he was worried about his wife. He had just lain down to sleep when Xia Guoan woke him up.

"dad"

Actually, Grandpa Xia was worried about his son and told them not to wake him and to let him sleep. Grandma Xia, because of Grandpa Xia's fall, had also forgotten about her son.

"Alright, alright, go see your mother, don't make her angry."

"Um"

Xia Guoan responded sullenly, telling Xia Zhiqian to take good care of Grandpa Xia, while he took Zhang Huaitong to see Grandma Xia.

Uncle Xia

Pei Shizhou saw Xia Guoan first, stood up and called out to him. Lin Weidong looked over, and Xia Guoan quickly called out, "Big Brother!"

"woke up"

Grandma Xia was sleeping, and Xia Yichu was inside keeping her company. Lin Weidong and Pei Shizhou were sitting at the door, chatting idly.

"I just woke up, brother, I'm going in to see my mom."

Xia Guoan said apologetically, but Lin Weidong waved him impatiently, telling him to go inside quickly.

"Xiao Chu"

Xia Yichu looked at her sleeping grandmother and made a quiet gesture to Xia Guoan, who nodded to indicate that he understood.

He stepped forward and gently sat down on the edge of the bed, carefully examining his mother's face. Her complexion was much better than before, but her pale face still pained him deeply.

He reached out, wanting to touch his mother's forehead, but was afraid of waking her. His hand hovered in mid-air before he slowly lowered it.

Xia Yichu said softly, "Grandma seemed to be in good spirits after she woke up, and she even asked about you."

Xia Guoan's eyes reddened slightly as he said in a low voice, "It's all my fault that you've all suffered."

At this moment, Grandma Xia slowly woke up, saw Xia Guoan, and smiled weakly, "Guoan, you've come."

Xia Guoan quickly grasped his mother's hand, "Mom, it's good that you're awake. Don't speak, just rest well."

Grandma Xia patted his hand, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

Xia Guoan looked at his mother, feeling guilty. He had been busy with work for so many years and rarely had time to spend with his mother.

Grandma Xia seemed to sense his thoughts and comforted him, "I know you're busy, don't overwork yourself. Xiao Chu has suffered this time, you must treat her well."

Xia Guoan nodded vigorously. Xia Yichu brought over a glass of water. She had replaced the water in Grandma Xia's thermos with water from her spatial dimension, so she poured it directly from there.

"Grandma, have some water, and then sleep a little longer."

Grandma Xia slept for less than an hour, and her expression and complexion did not look very good.

"it is good"

Grandma Xia drank a glass of water, Xia Yichu took the glass away, and Xia Guoan helped her lie down.

"I have something to tell you."

After setting the cups down, Xia Yichu walked to Grandma Xia's bedside and said to Xia Guoan that he hadn't been able to find an opportunity to ask about Yang Yunxia and Yang Yunxian lately.

Now that Grandma has woken up, Xia Guoan has some free time, so he takes this opportunity to ask her about the past.

Pei Shizhou sent people to investigate Yang Yunxia and Yang Yunxian's past, but they haven't made any progress.

"Go ahead! Talk to Xiao Chu nicely. You've only been back for a short time, and you'll be going back again soon. Who knows when we'll see each other again?"

Grandma Xia looked at her son with a face full of sorrow. She didn't know if she would have the chance to see him one last time before she died. She knew her own physical condition and was afraid she didn't have much time left.

She wasn't worried about her youngest son being alone in his old age; the Lin family was kind and loyal, and Xiao Chu had grown up in the Lin family, so his character couldn't be bad. She was just unwilling to accept that the truth about Yang Yunxia's matter hadn't yet come to light.

"Okay, Mom, you get some rest. Call me if you need anything." Xia Guoan tucked her in and gave her some instructions.

"Grandma, Shizhou and my eldest uncle are at the door. Just call out if you need anything."

"Okay, go ahead! Don't worry about me."

Xia Yichu went out first to tell Pei Shizhou and Lin Weidong. She led Xia Guoan to the end of the corridor to talk, so that Pei Shizhou and the others could see them even if they were sitting at Grandma Xia's door.

Why did you ask Yang Yunxian to send things to my mother for you?

Xia Yichu asked bluntly how valuable the money and jewelry were. Even if Yang Yunxian was working at the post office at the time, she shouldn't have asked her for help.

"Let me think about it. It's been too many years. I need to think about it."

Xia Yichu's question stumped Xia Guoan. He didn't know what he was thinking. How could he have asked Yang Yunxian to help send things? He could understand asking his sister-in-law Yang Yunxia for help when he was busy. How did it get to the point where he always asked Yang Yunxian for help?

"At that time, I was extremely busy since the start of the school year, and not long after, your uncle had an accident. Then, I found a part-time job. After I got a job, I wanted to bring your mother to Kyoto."

Then I wrote her a letter, and on my way to mail it, I ran into Yang Yunxian, who was on her way to work. She offered to mail the letter for me, but I saw that it was almost time for class, so I thanked her and gave her the letter.

"Because before this, your grandparents asked Shizhou's maternal grandparents to give me 1,000 yuan so I could send some money to your mother. At the time, I heard from my sister-in-law that Yang Yunxian had also helped send it, so I..."

Xia Guoan's voice trailed off as he spoke, filled with guilt and shame. The Xia family had applied for the development of the Northwest themselves, and all their assets had been hidden away by Xia's grandmother.

They had some savings at home, but during their time in the Northwest, they dared not spend any money, fearing they would be targeted. Xia Guoan was self-sufficient in the countryside, carrying only a little over two hundred yuan with him when he went there.

Later, after he was admitted to university and returned to Kyoto to study, the Xia family elders dared to spend money, though they borrowed from the Zhou family. They were grateful to the Lin family and wrote to the Zhou family asking them to give Xia Guoan some money first, so that he could send it to Lin Weihong.

On one hand, it was to express gratitude for the care they had received over the years, and on the other hand, it was to reassure them. It was to tell the Lin family that the Xia family only recognized Lin Weihong as their daughter-in-law and would absolutely not allow Xia Guoan to abandon her.

"Who asked Yang Yunxian to send that money?"

The more Xia Yichu learned, the more suspicious she became of Yang Yunxia.

"Aunt Zhou came to the school to find me. I took the money and went back to the school. I happened to run into my sister-in-law who was going home. She asked me where I had been, and I told her the truth."

She said she could help send it to Wei Hong, saving me the trouble of going out. At that time, I was busy with my studies and translating for the library, so I agreed.

Later, my sister-in-law said that since I was so busy, I could just give her anything I needed to send. She goes home every day after school, so I agreed without much thought.
