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

"Zhiheng, your maternal grandmother has passed away."

Yang Yunxia finished speaking, tears streaming down her face, and Zhiheng stood there stunned. His first reaction was disbelief; he had asked the doctor. The doctor had clearly said that as long as his grandmother received proper treatment, she would live for several more years.

Even without surgery, this shouldn't be the case. Yesterday, he went to ask the doctor again, and the doctor said that his grandmother's condition had improved.

"impossible"

"It's true. If you don't believe me, you can come with me to the hospital to see your grandma."

Seeing his mother's red and swollen eyes, Xia Zhiheng knew she must have cried before coming. At this moment, Xia Zhiheng believed the news that his grandmother had passed away.

"How could this happen? When I went to see her yesterday, she was perfectly fine..." Zhiheng's voice trembled, filled with deep sorrow.

Yang Yunxia sobbed, "Your two uncles said that your grandmother was gone when they woke up this morning, and they don't know why."

Zhiheng was still a little sad, and his grandmother's face kept appearing in his mind. After all, she was his grandmother. This was too sudden, and Xia Zhiheng didn't react for a moment.

"Mom, is Grandma still in the hospital?"

"exist"

"Let's go then."

Zhiheng stood up and left on her own. Yang Yunxia quickly followed. When Xia Zhiheng saw her grandmother lying peacefully asleep on the hospital bed, she couldn't help but tear up.

Zhiheng rushed to the bedside and tightly grasped her grandmother's withered hand, which was icy cold and devoid of any warmth.

She murmured, "Grandma, why did you leave like this?"

The Yang family stood to the side, their faces also filled with grief. Xia Zhiheng suddenly looked up, his eyes full of doubt: "The doctor said Grandma was getting better yesterday, how could she suddenly be gone?"

Upon hearing this, the Yang family was shocked and frightened, their faces turning extremely pale. Yang Yunjie, his face flushed, said, "Zhiheng, your grandmother was like this when she woke up this morning; there wasn't even a chance to save her."

"Zhiheng, the most important thing right now is to get your grandmother's funeral arranged. Your aunt and the others have already gone back to set up the mourning hall. Let's take your grandmother's body back first."

Yang Yunjie choked up as he said, "Xia Zhiheng is a police officer. I'm really afraid he'll suspect something and then investigate."

"Okay, Mom, where's Zhiqian?"

Xia Zhiheng could only do as the Yang family told him for the time being, and after looking around, he did not see his younger brother.

"I didn't have time to tell Zhiqian yet. I was thinking of going to find you first, and then..."

Yang Yunxia wanted to ask Xia Zhiheng for money first, but before she could even bring it up, Xia Zhiheng rushed to the hospital, and she quickly followed, completely neglecting Xia Zhiqian.

"Then what are we waiting for? Mom, quickly call Zhiqian to come and help. Never mind, I'll go make the call."

Back at the Yang family home, the mourning hall had already been set up, surrounded by wreaths. Xia Zhiheng and Xia Zhiqian stood guard beside their grandmother's body, their eyes red from crying.

"Brother, how could this happen? I wanted to visit Grandma that day. I overheard Uncle and the others talking outside the ward, trying to use Grandma to scam Mom out of money. Wasn't Grandma faking her illness? How could she just suddenly be gone?"

Xia Zhiqian still can't believe his grandmother is gone, unless his brother calls to tell him. If it were the Yang family, he definitely wouldn't believe it and would think they were trying to scam him again.

"No, I asked the doctor, and he said that Grandma really did fall and that she needs surgery. That day, I talked to my two uncles and told them that you and I would each contribute 1,000 yuan, and the two uncles would cover the rest of the surgery fee."

As a result, they kept crying poverty in front of me, saying they had no money, implying they wanted us to pay for the surgery. They called it a loan, but you know what they're really like. How much money has Mom given to the Yang family over the years? Has she ever paid it back?

At the time, I was a little angry and left, thinking I would leave them alone for two days and then discuss my grandmother's surgery with them again.

My mom has given all her salary to my maternal grandmother since she was a child. My maternal grandmother dotes on her son and grandson, so that money must have been spent on them. Now she's telling me she has no money, and I definitely don't believe her.

If we truly didn't have the money, we would have paid. But my two uncles clearly have money, yet they won't contribute to Grandma's surgery fees. How can I not be angry?

"But why did I hear my two uncles and two aunts talking outside my grandmother's hospital room that day, plotting to use my grandmother to scam my mother out of her surgery fees?"

Xia Zhiqian was puzzled. If he hadn't been angry after hearing these words, he wouldn't have stayed at the hospital without visiting his grandmother. He didn't want to hear her constantly asking him for money in front of him.

Xia Zhiheng frowned, a flash of anger crossing his eyes. "Are you sure you didn't mishear?"

Xia Zhiqian nodded emphatically, "I heard it clearly, I definitely didn't mishear it."

Xia Zhiheng clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger. He probably knew why.

"It's true that Grandma needs surgery, and it's also true that they wanted to scam Mom out of the surgery money. Because they didn't intend to have Grandma's surgery done; they just wanted to get the money, take Grandma home, and then ignore her life or death."

Xia Zhiqian stood up angrily and said, "I'm going to find them."

"Zhiqian, don't go. Grandma is gone. You have no proof. If you go to them now, they won't admit it. Let Grandma rest in peace! We'll talk about this later."

Xia Zhiheng held onto Xia Zhiqian tightly, and Xia Zhiqian knelt down again. He felt disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly, watching the Yang family members hypocritically greeting their relatives and friends while crying.

His maternal grandmother schemed her entire life, all for her two sons and several grandsons. Truly, one mountain is higher than another; the two sons, for the sake of surgery fees, schemed against their own sister, even at the cost of their mother's life.

"Zhiqian, Zhiheng, you've been on guard all day, come and rest for a bit. Let Xingsheng, Xingyu, Xinghong, and Xingrong keep watch. Come inside with me for a moment, your older sister needs to speak with you."

That evening, Yang Yunjie walked over, looking haggard and speaking in a hoarse voice.

"Zhiqian, let's go!"

Xia Zhiheng stood up by himself and then helped his younger brother up. He wanted to see what his mother was going to say.

"Come, Zhiqian and Zhiheng, come and sit down."

When Yang Yunhao saw them come in, he invited them to sit on the sofa. Yang Yunhao and his wife, Yang Yunjie and his wife, and Yang Yunxia were also in the living room; everyone looked rather grim.

After Xia Zhiqian and Xia Zhiheng sat down, they didn't speak or even glance at Yang Yunxia.

"Eldest Sister"

After a while, Yang Yunhao couldn't hold back any longer and called out to Yang Yunxia.

Yang Yunxia looked up at her two sons, and after a moment of silence, she spoke.

"Zhiqian and Zhiheng, you two take out 10,000 yuan to hold a funeral for your grandmother."

Xia Zhiqian and Xia Zhiheng looked at Yang Yunxia with disbelief. Why was she always the one to contribute money and effort whenever the Yang family was in trouble?

"Mom, don't my uncles even have enough money for Grandma's funeral? Besides, if they don't have any money, then Grandma's funeral should be kept simple."

Xia Zhiheng said in a bad tone. The Yang family was also dissatisfied. They had clearly agreed with Yang Yunxia that it would be 16,000, but she immediately reduced it by 6,000.

Her eldest son is successful, and her younger son is in business. Don't think they don't know; Zhang Xiaohua inquired about Xia Zhiqian's marriage beforehand.

It turns out that Xia Zhiqian bought the truck himself, and I heard that he owns several trucks.

"Zhiheng, you don't know this, but your maternal grandmother's hospitalization has drained my and your uncle's savings."

Yang Yunhao couldn't contain himself and said that they had originally agreed that Yang Yunxia would ask for money and they would not interfere.
