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

Several people started criticizing Pei Feng, which gave him a real headache.

"How about this? I'll give each of you 100 yuan. You can go home and wait for my message, okay?"

Yesterday, Gu Yunting took him out of the police station and sent Pei Feng home, then demanded money from him. Pei Feng definitely didn't want to give it, so Gu Yunting immediately said that if he didn't give it, he would send him back to the police station.

Pei Feng had no choice but to give him a thousand yuan. Ironically, he earned twelve thousand yuan a month, and over the years he had only saved two thousand yuan.

"No, what can a hundred yuan do for our whole family?"

Sister-in-law Pei complained that Pei Feng's family lived in an apartment building, while their two families were still renting. Pei Feng had found jobs for his two older brothers, but he was able to attend a worker-peasant-soldier university thanks to his family's efforts; he had originally promised to repay them if he became successful.

Now that her husband and son got into trouble because of Pei Feng's daughter, Pei's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law had already discussed it when they came. They planned to ask Pei Feng for a large sum of money. As for whether her husband and son could get out, with Pei Shizhou and the Zhou family involved, they weren't worried at all.

"That's right! Pei Feng, it's not that your second sister-in-law is trying to make things difficult for you, but you know that the men in the family are the ones who earn money. We also have to rent a house and raise our grandchildren."

My husband and son were arrested because of Zongna, and we don't know when they'll be released. Our two families are almost starving.

After finishing her speech, Sister-in-law Pei wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes; those were two tears she had managed to squeeze out with great difficulty.

"Uncle, I'm due to give birth this month. I haven't prepared anything, and I don't have a single penny on me."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Pei family continued to play the victim, and Pei's second sister-in-law glanced at her with disdain. "She gave birth to two money-losing children, and she's like a silent gourd, never saying a word."

What sins had she committed? She only had one son, making her already inferior to the first wife. Now the first wife had three grandsons, while her family only had two money-losing children. She was furious.

"Then I'll give each of you another hundred."

Pei Feng realized that they were only after his money and weren't worried about his older brothers at all.

"Uncle, two hundred isn't enough. Give each family ten thousand!"

Sister-in-law Pei's youngest daughter-in-law touched her belly and said that they had discussed it before they came, and each family would need three or four thousand. But they couldn't reveal their hand all at once; ten thousand sounds like a lot, but it's actually not much at all.

Pei Zongyu said that Pei Shizhou can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. Unfortunately, Zhou Wenbin sent the Pei family's elderly couple to jail before, and the Pei family members don't have the courage to go to Pei Shizhou, for fear that Zhou Wenbin will deal with them.

But it's different for Pei Feng's biological father. Zhou Wenbin can't just send Pei Feng to jail too; he has to see if his son, Pei Shizhou, agrees.

"Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, is this also your intention?"

Pei Feng ignored his eldest sister-in-law's youngest daughter-in-law and instead looked at his two sisters-in-law with a gloomy gaze.

The two exchanged a glance, and Sister-in-law Pei said guiltily, "No, Zhang Meixiang, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."

"Mom, we don't have a single penny left, and I'm about to give birth. Dad, my older brother, and Zongliang all got into trouble because of Pei Zongna. If they stay in there for a few more years, who will support me and the baby? I wouldn't even want 10,000 yuan!"

Although Zhang Meixiang's claim that her family didn't have a single penny was a bit of an exaggeration, it's true that they didn't have much money.

Pei Feng sneered. Were his older brothers and their families giving him too much credit? They were asking for ten thousand right off the bat, which would amount to twenty thousand for both families combined.

When Zhang Meixiang asked for 10,000 yuan, it startled Pei's eldest and second sisters-in-law; they wouldn't dare ask for such an exorbitant amount. Since someone had already made the offer, they didn't object—what if it succeeded?

"Fine, so you're all here for the money, not because you're worried about my older brothers. I have no money, you've got the wrong person to scam."

Zhang Meixiang persisted, "Uncle, stop playing the victim. You earn a good salary every month. Besides, my dad and second uncle went to jail because of your daughter, isn't it only right that you pay some money?"

Pei Feng trembled with anger. "Don't go too far. I gave you this out of kindness, and it's my right not to. Don't forget, I found the jobs for my eldest and second brothers."

Seeing Pei Feng's firm attitude, Pei's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law panicked a little. Pei's eldest sister-in-law quickly tried to smooth things over, "Pei Feng, don't be angry. We're all family. Let's talk this out."

Pei Feng took a deep breath. "I'll give each of you three hundred yuan. That's my maximum. If you don't want it, then it's up to you."

Zhang Meixiang wanted to say something more, but was glared at fiercely by Sister-in-law Pei. Sister-in-law Pei laughed and said, "Pei Feng, are you joking? Even if you don't have ten thousand, surely you could give each family a few thousand or four thousand?"

"If I want my older brothers to come out, I'll have to pay the Li family money. Where am I going to find so much money to give you? Besides, my older brothers definitely don't know that you're asking me for so much money."

"Sister-in-law, if you take this money, my relationship with my two brothers will end here. You should think carefully before you speak."

The women exchanged glances, unsure of what to do. They didn't want to fall out with Pei Feng; if their husbands came out, they knew they wouldn't let them off the hook.

Sister-in-law Pei said with a forced smile, "Pei Feng! We were just joking, how could we possibly ask you for so much money?"

"Yes," the others immediately nodded in agreement.

"Sister-in-law, I know everyone is struggling. Take this money and go home to wait for my news."

The two sisters-in-law of the Pei family took the money and left reluctantly. Pei Feng watched their backs, his heart filled with anger and helplessness. It was all Pei Shizhou's fault, that unfilial son.

He sat down, rubbing his temples. He only had a little over four hundred yuan left. To get his family out, he first had to compensate the Li family for their losses and also gain Li Guangyuan's forgiveness.

Most importantly, Pei Zongna's embezzlement of the Zhang family's funds might implicate him if not resolved soon. Pei Feng sat for a while, then suddenly remembered something and rushed to his room to rummage through drawers and cabinets for something.

An hour later, a bankbook was found inside Feng Yarou's pillow. Looking at the balance, his face turned ashen; eight hundred yuan—less than he had saved over the years.

Pei Feng only keeps 200 yuan for himself each month, giving the remaining 1,000 yuan to Feng Yarou. He also gives her his 2,000 yuan bonus at the end of each year. He eats lunch at the textile factory.

Pei Zongna has been working outside the home for over four years and rarely eats at home. Her son also eats at the school cafeteria. Where exactly has Feng Yarou spent all her money?

Not only was his salary not this high before, but in the past four or five years, his annual salary plus bonuses averaged around ten thousand yuan. Now, his savings account only has eight hundred yuan, which Pei Feng cannot accept. He thought he could save at least twenty or thirty thousand yuan.

But reality slapped him hard in the face; he didn't even have a thousand dollars in his savings account, and the only valuable thing left in his house was this building.

Pei Feng was exhausted, so he lay down on the bed, longing for the days he spent with Zhou Wenhui. Even though he didn't hand over his salary, Zhou Wenhui never said anything, and neither the family nor he himself ever worried about money.

Why are Xia Guohua's two sons so outstanding, while I also have a son who is no less capable than Xia Guohua's? Not only is he not on my side, but he is also constantly trying to oppose me.

Right, he could go to Xia Zhiheng. Since the Zhou family and Pei Shizhou wouldn't help, he'd have to swallow his pride and ask Xia Zhiheng for help.

Xia Zhiheng was unaware that Pei Feng had his eye on him; he had come to the prison to visit Yang Yunxian today.

People in the prison called him and said that Yang Yunxian was on a hunger strike and wanted to see Xia Zhiqian. Xia Zhiheng came over first to see what was going on.
