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

"You have to give me some time to think of a solution."

Yang Yunxia lowered her head, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands, her voice trembling slightly.

"Big sister, are you deliberately stalling for time to avoid paying? Zhiheng and Zhiqian could easily give us enough money for Mom's surgery."

Li Xiuzhen was pressing them relentlessly, determined not to give up until they got the money. Who knew how long that old man would live? If he died, they wouldn't get the money.

"You can talk all you want, but don't drag my two grandsons into this. Wang Fengxian has two sons, five grandsons, and one granddaughter. Whatever her affairs are, they're none of my grandsons' business."

Grandma Xia couldn't stay in bed any longer, so she sat up and slowly began to speak. This was the first time Grandma Xia had spoken since Li Xiuzhen and Zhang Xiaohua came to the ward.

Xia Guoan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, had his hands held down tightly by his grandmother, preventing him from speaking.

Yang Yunxia had just arrived at her place after getting off work when her two sister-in-laws followed her in. Xia Zhiqian had just been called back by Pei Shizhou to get food, so it was just the two of them here.

Grandma Xia was still relieved that her two grandsons weren't around; she didn't want her family to get involved in the Yang family's affairs. Of course, Yang Yunxia was an exception.

Yang Yunxia bit her lip, raised her head, her eyes full of helplessness and anxiety: "That's not how it is, the two brothers don't have that much money."

Besides, they also have families to support, so I'll figure out the money myself.

"Big sister, you..."

Li Xiuzhen was still pressing on, wanting to say something, when Zhang Xiaohua tugged at her sleeve. Although displeased, Li Xiuzhen kept quiet.

Yang Yunhao said that she was not as smart as Zhang Xiaohua, and if she wanted to get the money, she had to listen to her.

"Big sister, it's not that we want to force you, we're just afraid that Mom can't wait any longer. You went to see Mom at noon, and she can't even speak clearly now."

The doctor said if Mom doesn't have surgery soon, she might not make it through the next few days. It's all our fault for being useless and incapable of earning money.

Zhang Xiaohua wiped her eyes insincerely, then turned to Li Xiuzhen and said, "Let's go back first and let my eldest sister think it over. Don't worry! After all, she's Mom's biological daughter; she certainly won't stand by and watch someone die."

"Okay, big sister, we'll come again tomorrow. Hope you'll have the money ready by then, it's not much, just 40,000 will do."

You can also prepare an extra 20,000 yuan, and we promise we won't bother you with anything related to Mom anymore.

Zhang Xiaohua pulled the chattering Li Xiuzhen away, while Yang Yunxia's eyes welled up with tears.

"mom"

She walked to Grandma Xia's bedside and called out pitifully. Xia Guoan stood up and walked to the side.

"I'm not your mother, you can forget about getting a single penny of the Xia family's money," Grandma Xia said calmly.

"Mom, I..."

"Grandma, Uncle, dinner's here."

Xia Zhiqian's voice arrived before he did, interrupting Yang Yunxia's words.

"Mom, you're here too. Grandma, Shizhou made you some chicken soup, try some. Uncle, I also bought you some food. Mom, have you eaten?"

Xia Zhiqian didn't know his mother would be coming, so he only bought four meals. He gave one to his brother earlier, and another to his uncle's security guard at the door. There were two meals left, one for him and one for his uncle.

"not yet"

Xia Zhiqian was about to say that he would give his portion of food to his mother when his grandmother interrupted him, saying, "If you haven't eaten, go back and eat. You don't need to stay here, and you don't need to come over tomorrow either."

"it is good"

Yang Yunxia saw Xia Zhiqian reluctantly agree, after all, she was his own mother, and she had changed a lot recently, so Xia Zhiqian couldn't bear it.

"Mom, here's your food. Eat it before you go back. We're here with Grandma, so don't worry."

Xia Zhiqian heard from his sister-in-law that his maternal grandmother was also hospitalized here, and he originally wanted to visit her. However, when he arrived at the ward in the afternoon, he overheard his two uncles and two aunts discussing how to swindle money from his mother, so he turned back.

"No need, I'll just cook something simple when I get home. You take good care of your grandma."

After saying that, she left dejectedly, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Grandma Xia was so angry she was panting. Who was she putting on this act for?!

Grandma Xia looked at her son and grandson, both of whom looked reluctant to let go. It made her seem like the villain. Little Chu was so clever; the men of the Xia family had been completely fooled without even realizing it.

"Zhiqian, you're just worried about your mom."

"Grandma, I know you're upset because of what happened to my dad. But in the end, my mom is innocent; she's a victim too. It's all because my mom had to be born with my maternal grandma as her mother."

My mom hasn't been in contact with the Yang family lately; she's changed a lot. Grandma, so many years have passed, can you please not blame my mom?

After Xia Zhiqian finished speaking, he handed the food to Xia Guoan, and then went to Xia's grandmother's bedside, picked up the chicken soup and fed it to her.

"Mom, this really isn't my sister-in-law's fault. For Zhiheng and Zhiqian's sake, please don't give her a hard time. She's a good person, and she's different from the Yang family."

"What's the difference? Snakes and rats in the same den, bad bamboo can't produce good bamboo shoots."

Grandma Xia took a sip of chicken soup and said indignantly that she used to think Yang Yunxia was different from the other members of the Yang family. But it turned out she was even worse than the rest of the Yang family, and even more vicious.

"Grandma, please calm down. My mom was forced into this situation."

Xia Zhiqian felt a headache coming on when he thought about what he had overheard outside his grandmother's hospital room. The Yang family was tormenting an old woman just to get money from her, forcing her to fake illness and be hospitalized to swindle his mother out of her money.

Xia Zhiheng only heard that they wanted to scam money, unaware that his grandmother was not faking illness, but had actually fallen, and it took several hours before she was taken to the hospital.

Xia Guoan sat down and started eating, saying as he ate, "Mom, my sister-in-law doesn't have money to pay for her mother's medical treatment. How about I lend her some money?"

He hadn't yet given Xia Yichu his salary and bonuses for over a year; he'd been too busy lately to give them to her. Other things could be ignored, but illness was a serious matter that couldn't be ignored.

"Xia Guoan, you have money but won't give it to Xiao Chuhua, yet you want to lend money to others? I think you've lost your mind!"

Grandma Xia's eyes widened in anger, and her voice rose eight octaves. "Those are the Yang family! They're bottomless pits! Once you lend them that money, don't even think about getting it back!"

Besides, Wang Fengxian and her daughter have harmed her two sons so badly, they shouldn't even think about spending a penny of the Xia family's money this time.

Xia Zhiqian stopped what he was doing and said seriously, "Uncle, Grandma is right. I'll go talk to my mom again and tell her not to be deceived by the Yang family."

Xia Zhiqian didn't want to tell his grandmother and uncle about the troubles at the Yang family's place, so he didn't mention that the Yang family was planning to swindle money from him.

He has money, so he doesn't need to borrow money from his uncle no matter what. If his grandmother really needs surgery, he will contribute something.

Xia Guoan frowned, somewhat hesitant: "But this time is different. Both of my sister-in-law's wives said that her mother has to have surgery. It's a matter of life and death. How about I lend my sister-in-law some money?"

Just as Grandma Xia was about to scold her son, Lin Weidong walked in angrily and started cursing at Xia Guoan.

"Xia Guoan, you have money but you don't give it to Xiao Chu. Instead, you lend it to others. Don't forget, Xiao Chu almost lost her life a few days ago because of you."

You promised me that all the money you earned would go to Xiao Chuhua, but now, after only a little over a year, you're already going back on your word.

"I knew you didn't like Xiao Chu. Are you secretly resentful that my sister didn't give you a son? Xiao Chu, come on, come back to the Lin family home with me. Your father doesn't like you."
