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

"Grandpa and Grandma, have some water."

After hurriedly bringing the two elderly members of the Xia family home, Xia Yichu breathed a sigh of relief, finally arriving home before the Yang family came looking for her. Anyway, they're back now; she can worry about the rest later.

The elderly couple were both in bed, and Xia Zhiqian said he would hire a caregiver to look after them. Zhou Miaoying was pregnant, and everyone was quite busy, so no one could spare the time to take care of the two elderly people.

Grandpa and Grandma Xia had no objections; they understood them and knew that everyone was busy, and it wasn't realistic to take time off to take turns caring for them.

"Okay, Xiao Chu, stop working and sit down and rest for a bit."

Grandma Xia took the water and said that Xia Yichu had just arrived at the hospital that morning and had already processed their discharge procedures. They had originally planned to go home in the afternoon, since only Xia Zhiqian was there that morning. Xia Guoan and Xia Zhiheng both had things to do that morning. Grandpa Xia couldn't walk, which was a bit of a hassle.

Later, Xia Yichu told Grandma Xia that Wang Fengxian might be gone, and she was afraid that the Yang family would cause trouble, so she wanted to take them out of the hospital immediately. Grandma Xia agreed to the discharge.

Although she hadn't done anything wrong and wasn't afraid of the Yang family coming after her, she considered it bad luck. She felt no remorse whatsoever for Wang Fengxian's death.

It was obvious that the Yang family didn't genuinely want to save Wang Fengxian. She couldn't believe that Yang Yunxia had supported the Yang family for so many years, and they couldn't even come up with 40,000 yuan.

"Yes! You must be tired from running around all morning. Is there anything you need Zhiqian to do?"

Xia Zhiqian went to the market to buy groceries, while Pei Shizhou and Lin Weidong cleaned the house outside. The house hadn't been lived in for several days, so a thin layer of dust had settled on it.

"It's okay, Grandpa and Grandma, I'm not tired. You two rest for a while, and call me if you need anything."

After saying that, Xia Yichu took the two cups and walked out, closing the door behind her.

"Uncle, I'll take care of it. You go and rest for a bit."

Lin Weidong was wiping the sofa, while Pei Shizhou was mopping the floor. He had just told Lin Weidong not to do any work, that he could do it himself, but Lin Weidong refused.

"No need, it'll be ready soon."

Lin Weidong said without looking up. Xia Yichu wanted to say something, but then she heard the sound of a car outside, and then Gu Yunting walked in.

He walked into the courtyard with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, his hands in his pockets, and an air of nonchalance.

"Little Chu, it's been a long time. This must be your uncle. Hello, Uncle. My name is Gu Yunting, and I'm Shi Zhou's good brother. He's really going too far, how can he make his uncle do all the work?"

As they were talking, Gu Yunting snatched the rag from Lin Weidong, helped him to the sofa, and started working on the chores himself. Lin Weidong was completely bewildered the whole time, and only realized what was happening after he sat down on the sofa.

"Xiao Gu! It's okay, I can do it myself."

"Oh, Uncle, no need, I can do it."

Xia Yichu looked at Pei Shizhou questioningly, "What's he doing here?" Pei Shizhou frowned slightly and whispered, "I asked him to buy a plane ticket for my uncle. I guess he's here to deliver it."

Xia Yichu looked at Pei Shizhou with admiration. As expected of the man she had chosen, he was reliable in everything he did.

Gu Yunting was wiping the furniture, humming a tune from time to time, looking very relaxed.

"Shizhou"

"Uncle, it's alright, he likes to work."

At this moment, Xia Zhiqian returned carrying a full load of vegetables and saw that Gu Yunting was also there.

"Hey, isn't this Young Master Gu? What brings you to my house to do chores?"

Pei Shizhou finished mopping the floor, washed the mop, and put it away. Gu Yunting finished wiping the last sofa and said, "I came to deliver something to Shizhou. I saw you were all busy, so I came to lend a hand."

Gu Yunting grinned, took out a plane ticket from his pocket and handed it to Lin Weidong, "Uncle Lin, here's the ticket. Keep it safe. Just get to the airport before 2 o'clock."

"This…"

Lin Weidong looked at the plane ticket in Gu Yunting's hand but didn't take it. He didn't know what was going on.

"Uncle, I had Yunting buy the plane ticket, so just take it. When you arrive in Shenzhen, I'll have someone pick you up. I'll also buy you a train ticket home, and after you get off the plane, I'll have someone take you to catch your ride home."

Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu went to handle the discharge procedures for the two elderly people in the Xia family. They took some time to call Gu Yunting and Song Qihang.

"Shizhou, no need, I'll just take the train home. I'll have Zhiqian take me to buy the train ticket later."

With plane tickets so expensive, Lin Weidong couldn't bear to fly. Even if he bought one with Pei Shizhou's money, it wouldn't work; Xiao Chu was still young, and he didn't know if things would end up with him.

What if she takes advantage of him now, but later suddenly doesn't like him anymore and doesn't want to marry him? Xiao Chu has Xia Guoan with her now, so there's no need for her to take advantage of him like this. It's perfectly normal to spend her own father's money, but spending another man's money might lead to complications.

Lin Weidong was having second thoughts, feeling that he couldn't let Pei Shizhou spend money.

Pei Shizhou saw his concerns and said sincerely, "Uncle, please don't refuse. Taking a plane is faster and you'll be less tired. Besides, this is just a small token of my appreciation; consider it my way of showing filial piety in advance."

Xia Yichu chimed in, "Uncle, just listen to Shi Zhou. Taking a plane is so convenient, and you'll get home faster."

Lin Weidong was still a little hesitant, but Gu Yunting teased him from the side, "Uncle, just take it. Shi Zhou makes money very easily. This little bit of money is nothing to him."

Xia Zhiqian added, "Uncle Lin, you came to Kyoto to see my grandma. I'll pay for Shizhou's plane ticket later."

It's not impossible for Lin Weidong to ask Xia Zhiqian for money. This kid is really savvy, much smarter than Xia Guoan.

"Zhiqian, that's too kind of you."

Lin Weidong pretended to be embarrassed and said that Pei Shizhou wanted to speak, but Xia Yichu stopped him. His uncle didn't want her to pay for the plane tickets, nor did he want Pei Shizhou to pay.

As long as Uncle is willing to fly back, Xia Zhiqian can pay for it, and Xia Yichu can make up the difference from other sources.

"It's nothing, it's my duty. Shi Zhou, I'll give you the money later, I don't have that much cash on me right now."

Pei Shizhou finally understood Lin Weidong's meaning and felt a little disappointed, but he could only nod in agreement.

"Then I'll go cook," Xia Zhiqian said, carrying the groceries.

"I'll go help."

Pei Shizhou quickly followed, while Gu Yunting sat on the sofa chatting with Lin Weidong.

"Xiao Gu! When did you meet Shi Zhou?"

"We met when we were in the army. After he was discharged, I was discharged with him. Now I work at Shih-Chou Company."

"That's great! Can you tell me about your time in the military?"

"no problem"

Xia Yichu didn't listen any further. She went to the room to check if Grandpa and Grandma Xia were asleep. Seeing they were, she went to the kitchen to help. Her uncle was leaving soon, and she wanted to find an opportunity to use more of the spatial water to cook for him.

At the hospital, Xia Yichu and the others had just been discharged that morning when the Yang family went to look for them. Unfortunately, they found no one there.

"Mom's death was all the Xia family's fault. If they had paid for Mom's surgery sooner, none of this would have happened. I'm not done with the Xia family yet. Don't think they're okay just because they've been discharged from the hospital. We'll carry Mom to the Xia family's house to confront them later."

Yang Yunhao said angrily, "Why couldn't his mother have died a day later! The 40,000 yuan would have been divided between his and his brother's families, with each family receiving 20,000 yuan."

Now the money is gone, his mother is dead, and he has no excuse to ask his older sister for money. The house is still unfinished, his son and daughter are still in jail, and his youngest son is almost ruined. He feels resentful just thinking about it.
