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

As soon as Lin Weidong entered, he launched into a long, rambling monologue, giving Xia Guoan no chance to speak. Before Xia Guoan could react, he grabbed Xia Yichu and tried to leave.

Xia Zhiqian wanted to speak, but was stopped by his grandmother. Her youngest son was a simple and kind person, and he had only experienced some hardship in the first few months after he went to the countryside.

Later, she met Lin Weihong and was well taken care of by the Lin family, so she didn't suffer much hardship. She also devoted herself to her work, and even in her forties, she was still pretty much the same as before.

It's good to let Lin Weidong give him a talking-to. Grandma Xia discovered that her son was particularly afraid of making Lin Weidong angry, and he also respected him a lot.

"Brother, it's a misunderstanding. I'm very happy that Wei Hong gave birth to Xiao Chu. I love my daughter. I won't lend money to anyone else anymore. I promise that every penny of my future salary will be saved for Xiao Chu."

Xia Guoan hurriedly stepped forward and took Lin Weidong's hand to explain. He hadn't spent a single penny of his salary for over a year, fearing his daughter would suffer.

Although he hadn't spent much money before, only occasionally buying himself a few outfits, this year he couldn't even bear to buy clothes. His company would provide him with food, drinks, and other necessities.

"Really, you're not lying to me," Lin Weidong asked, his face full of doubt.

"It's absolutely true. I brought all my salary from the past year with me when I came back. I left it in my dorm room, and I'll bring it all to Xiao Chu tomorrow."

Hearing this, Lin Weidong beamed and immediately released Xia Yichu. He patted Xia Guoan on the shoulder like a close friend, thinking that Xia Guoan's salary for over a year must be quite a lot, and he should give it to Xiao Chu.

Just ignore Xia Guoan's offer to lend money to others; let's get the money first.

"Oh, Guoan, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Don't blame me, I'm not capable of giving Xiaochu a better life, I'm a bit too focused on money."

Xia Guoan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Brother, it's not your fault. I know you did it for Xiao Chu's own good."

"I'm worried that Xiao Chu won't have a secure future, so I'm thinking of saving up more money for her. I'll definitely bring all my salary over tomorrow," Xia Guoan said sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Lin Weidong immediately smiled. "Guoan, you're right. Xiao Chu has a long life ahead of her, it's always good to save more money."

I think we shouldn't wait until tomorrow. I'll go back with you now and get the money for Xiao Chu.

"Anyway, you're going back to take a shower. Don't worry, Zhiqian, Xiaochu, and Shizhou are here with me!"

Lin Weidong didn't want to wait a moment longer and wished he could grab Xia Guoan and pull him back right now. He understood the principle that delay could lead to unforeseen changes.

"That's right! Guoan, I don't need you to guard this place. You and Weidong go back and get it, and make sure to give all the money to Xiaochu." Grandma Xia said with a face full of agreement.

"Xiao Chu, what are you standing there for? Go take care of your grandma. Your dad still loves you. I was just talking nonsense earlier, don't take it to heart. Shi Zhou, keep an eye on Xiao Chu."

Lin Weidong winked at Pei Shizhou, then, seeing Xia Yichu standing there in a daze, he called out to her. "This child isn't quick-witted at all," he thought. "Hurry up and show her what you're made of; a year's salary should be enough for her to live on for a long time."

"Okay, Uncle."

Pei Shizhou readily agreed. Xia Yichu was so lucky to have Lin Weidong as her uncle; he always considered her needs.

"Understood, Uncle."

Xia Yichu obediently responded. Her uncle was worried that Xia Guoan might cause trouble if he received his salary late.

She sat down next to Grandma Xia and obediently massaged her back. Lin Weidong nodded in satisfaction when he saw this.

Seeing how sensible his daughter was, Xia Guoan felt a little relieved and said to Lin Weidong, "Okay, brother, let's go back and get it now."

Upon hearing this, Lin Weidong immediately perked up and urged Xia Guoan to leave quickly. The two hurriedly went out the door, and Xia Zhiqian watched their retreating figures, gently shaking his head.

"Xiao Chu, your dad, your grandpa, and I don't discriminate against girls. Your dad cares about you," Grandma Xia said earnestly, afraid that Xia Yichu would overthink things.

Xia Yichu smiled and nodded: "Grandma, I understand."

Xia Zhiqian, looking worried, said, "Xiao Chu, save up some cash, don't buy another house."

Xia Yichu's move of building two buildings in one go startled Xia Zhiqian.

"Zhiqian, it's alright. As long as Xiaochu is happy. Xiaochu, your dad gave you the money, so it's yours. You can spend it however you want, we have no objection."

Grandma Xia, afraid of upsetting Xia Yichu, chuckled and said something from the side. Hearing his grandmother's words, Xia Zhiqian dared not say anything more.

"Grandma, I understand."

In the morning, Xia Yichu and the others waited until almost nine o'clock before arriving at the hospital. If there are no unexpected events, Grandma Xia will be able to be discharged today.

Yesterday they stayed until midnight, and Xia Guoan came to the hospital to relieve them, telling Xia Yichu and the others to go home and sleep, and come back tomorrow.

As Xia Yichu, her uncle, and Pei Shizhou entered the hospital, they heard a heart-wrenching cry coming from the hospital corridor. The cry was so sorrowful that it seemed to express all the pain in the world.

"What happened?" Xia Yichu asked curiously.

"Someone must have died in the hospital. Let's hurry. Your grandma should be able to be discharged today. Xiao Chu, when are you going back to Shenzhen?"

Lin Weidong didn't take the crying to heart; life and death were all too common in hospitals. He was just afraid of scaring Xia Yichu.

"I'll go back to Pengcheng in a couple of days, Uncle. If you have to go to work, go back first. As long as Shizhou is here, I'll be fine."

Lin Weidong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll buy the train tickets after your grandma is discharged from the hospital."

He had taken too many days off. Although he was worried about Xia Yichu, it would take a day and a night to get back from Kyoto by train. He would also have to transfer to another train to get home, so it would take him at least three more days before he could go back to work.

He was reluctant to fly back; plane tickets weren't cheap, costing over a thousand yuan per trip. Besides, flying back meant transferring in Shenzhen to get to the county town.

"Uncle, why don't you fly back? I'll buy you a ticket."

Taking the train takes too long and requires transferring to get home. It's better to take a plane. Although it also requires transferring, it only takes a day to get home.

"What's wrong! Xia Guoan just gave you over ten thousand yuan yesterday, and you're treating it like it's a hot potato! A plane ticket costs over a thousand yuan, and you just buy it like that."

Lin Weidong stared wide-eyed and raised his voice. Pei Shizhou didn't speak, because the closer he got, the more familiar the crying sound became.

"Uncle, I was just worried you'd be in a rush to get to work."

As she approached the door of a hospital room, Xia Yichu glanced inside. She saw family members gathered around the bed, some slumped on the floor, others sobbing uncontrollably over the patient—a truly heartbreaking scene. Her heart tightened; thankfully, Grandma Xia was alright this time.

"Are you stupid?! Do you think you can earn over a thousand yuan by working two extra days?"

Lin Weidong looked at Xia Yichu as if she were an idiot. Xia Yichu was listening to the crying and didn't hear what her uncle was saying for a moment.

"Xiao Chu, the people in that ward just now seemed to be from the Yang family."

Xia Yichu thought for a while. She had only glanced at them briefly and saw their backs, so she didn't recognize them as members of the Yang family.

"You mean..." Pei Shizhou nodded.

"Hurry up, let's get Grandma discharged from the hospital as soon as possible."

The Yang family may not be able to process Wang Fengxian's passing yet, and they will definitely go to the ward to look for her grandmother later.
