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

"I...I have to go now, Xiao Chu, please don't be angry. If A Zhou dares to flirt with other women, I'll have his grandparents break his legs."

"uncle"

Pei Shizhou roared angrily, but Zhou Wenbin had already run away. Xia Yichu suppressed a laugh; based on Pei Shizhou's character in her previous life, she believed he wouldn't be a womanizer.

Even if she could, it wouldn't matter. It's not like she can't live without a man. In this life, apart from life and death, everything else is trivial.

She was annoyed by these kinds of things and didn't want to endlessly deal with Pei Shizhou's romantic entanglements. So she would still get angry if necessary, and it was best to let Pei Shizhou handle those women who liked him himself.

Of course, if it gets too much and annoying, she wouldn't mind breaking up with Pei Shizhou. She shouldn't waste her precious life competing with other women for his attention.

"Eat up, I don't have any chicken soup for you, only porridge and steamed buns."

Xia Yichu said sarcastically, and Pei Shizhou looked at the steaming breakfast but couldn't feel happy.

"Xiao Chu, let me explain."

"Shizhou, eat. The food will get cold soon."

Pei Shizhou moved his lips slightly, but ultimately said nothing more, taking a sip of porridge without tasting it. The moment he tasted it, he knew Xia Yichu had used special water to cook it; it seemed Xia Yichu still cared for him.

"I'll go get you a kettle of hot water."

After Xia Yichu finished speaking, she turned and left. Pei Shizhou watched her retreating figure, his heart filled with guilt. By the time she returned with a thermos filled with water, Pei Shizhou had almost finished eating.

"Xiao Chu, I..."

"Alright, no need to explain, I believe you. Shi Zhou, before, Zhang Shanshan liked you and even went to Pengcheng to cause trouble for me because of her. Now it's Nurse Zhang, I wonder who the next girl will be? Actually, I'm quite annoyed by these things."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shizhou panicked. He grabbed Xia Yichu's hand and hurriedly said, "Xiao Chu, I promise that these things will never happen again, and I will never let anyone cause you trouble."

Just as Xia Yichu was about to speak, Xia Zhiqian pushed open the door and walked in.

"Xiao Chu, your sister-in-law asked me to take you shopping and buy you a plane ticket while we're at it."

Seeing Pei Shizhou holding Xia Yichu's hand, he glanced at him unhappily.

"Okay, Shizhou, I'm going shopping with Zhiqian. After we're done, I want to visit Grandpa and Grandma Zhou. I'll stay home with them this afternoon and won't come to the hospital."

Xia Zhiqian breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he would have to persuade Xia Yichu a few more times before she would agree to go with him.

"Xiao Chu, I'll have Yun Ting buy you a plane ticket."

Pei Shizhou was uneasy about what Xia Yichu had just said, and he didn't want her to leave now.

"Shizhou, no need. You should rest well and come to Pengcheng to see me when your hand is almost healed."

"Xiao Chu, I..."

"Alright, stop dawdling, Xiao Chu, let's go." Xia Zhiqian grabbed Xia Yichu's clothes and started walking.

"Pei Shizhou, take good care of your hand. I'll be waiting for you to come find me," Xia Yichu said as she walked.

"Okay, you must wait for me." Pei Shizhou ran out of the door and said reluctantly.

Xia Yichu got into the car. She had gone to bed late the night before and got up early this morning, so she felt a little sleepy and closed her eyes to rest for a bit.

Xia Zhiqian glanced at her and noticed that she looked listless.

"Let me tell you, you can't spoil a man, or he'll become a bad person. Look how good you are, cooking for him first thing in the morning."

Xiao Chu, listen to your brother's advice. Pei Shizhou is getting old. Let's find a younger man. I'll find someone to introduce you. Oh, by the way, your uncle knows even more promising young men.

Anyway, you're still young, no rush. I'll definitely find you a man a hundred times better than Pei Shizhou.

Xia Zhiqian kept talking the whole way, making it impossible for Xia Yichu to sleep. She opened her eyes and said, "Fine, I like good-looking people. Just find me someone better-looking than Pei Shizhou."

"This... Xiao Chu, you're still young and don't understand. A man's looks alone are useless."

In all his years, Xia Zhiqian had rarely seen a man as handsome as Pei Shizhou. He had only seen his father in photos, and his father was the only person who was even slightly more handsome than Pei Shizhou.

It's such a pity that he and his older brother couldn't be more like their father. If they were even five or six parts like him, they could rival Pei Shizhou.

"You're right, so I not only need to be good-looking, but also good at making money. Ideally, I should be over 1.88 meters tall, and have a great figure, definitely not worse than Pei Shizhou."

One must be responsible and accountable. One must be completely obedient to me, never fighting back or arguing. And also…”

"Alright, alright, are you making a wish right here? Even if you're making a wish, you shouldn't do it like this. You and Pei Shizhou are a done deal! I can't introduce you to anyone."

Xia Zhiqian stopped saying those unnecessary things and remained silent, finally giving Xia Yichu some peace and quiet.

They went to the mall and bought some things, then went to the Zhou family's house together, sat for a while, and then went back. On the way back, Xia Zhiqian told them about Tie Zhu.

"Xiao Chu, we've found out about Tie Zhu's family situation. They should be fine. His older brother was gored by a wild boar six years ago and died shortly afterward. That same year, his father fell while chopping wood on the mountain and became paralyzed."

He also has an older sister who died in childbirth, so now he only has his mother and two children at home.

The series of events made life extremely difficult for their family. His sister-in-law also ran away the year after his older brother's death, leaving behind two children, one of whom was only ten months old at the time.

Tiezhu was the youngest child of the couple, much younger than his older brother and sister. When his older brother and father had their accident, Tiezhu was still a child himself, reportedly thirteen years old, when he took on the heavy burden of the family.

This time, I don't know where they heard about my hiring a nanny, but they volunteered to come to my house.

Xia Zhiqian felt pity for him. Looking at Tie Zhu's cheerful appearance, he couldn't tell at all that his family had gone through such misfortunes.

"He looks strong and healthy. Were his older brother and father hunters before?"

"Yes, after his older brother got into trouble, his father stopped hunting and stopped teaching him to hunt. The family mainly made a living by farming, cutting firewood to sell in the city, or doing odd jobs."

But man proposes, God disposes; despite not going hunting, his father still had an accident.

"Since he's fine, let him take care of Grandpa."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too. By the way, Zhang Shanshan and Pei Zongna went to Pengcheng to find you, you didn't get the short end of the stick, did you?"

I heard about this from Pei Feng at the Zhou family's house just now. They hadn't been there long when Pei Feng came to the Zhou family's house and asked the elderly couple to help him plead with Pei Shizhou, hoping that he would show leniency towards the Zhang family.

Pei Feng told Grandma Zhou about Zhang Shanshan's trip to Pengcheng to find Xia Yichu, and was chased away with a broom. Then, Xia Yichu and Xia Zhiqian returned. If it weren't for seeing Xia Zhiqian and Xia Yichu together, Pei Feng would have wanted to go find Xia Yichu again.

"I smashed Zhang Shanshan's camera, and I slapped Pei Zongna several times."

How could she possibly suffer a loss? She's never suffered a loss in her life.

"Good for them, they deserve a good lesson. Don't worry! Pei Shizhou will take responsibility for anything that happens. But why is Pei Feng so eager to get involved in the Zhang family's affairs?"

"I heard from Pei Zongna that Pei Feng wants Shi Zhou to marry Zhang Shanshan. He's probably in a hurry because the Zhang family might have offered him a lot of benefits, and he's afraid of losing what he's about to get."
