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

"When Xia Zhiqian was a little over ten months old, Yang Yunxia tried to smother him with a pillow."

Yang Yunxia is doing well now, and her two sons are so successful. Meanwhile, her son is gone, and she's barely surviving in prison. She's resentful; why should Yang Yunxia have such a life? It's all Yang Yunxia's fault.

She wanted to find Xia Zhiqian and tell him everything, even if he didn't believe her. There's always a thorn between mother and son; Xia Zhiqian and Yang Yunxia weren't close to begin with.

Besides, she wasn't lying; everything she said was true. It's a pity that Xia Zhiheng didn't want Xia Zhiqian to see her, but it doesn't matter if Xia Yichu finds out.

If she told Xia Yichu her suspicions, she believed Xia Yichu wouldn't let Yang Yunxia get away with it. Xia Yichu would likely relay her words to Xia Zhiqian; they both shared the same goal—neither wanted Yang Yunxia to have an easy time.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Xia Yichu stood up in shock, then calmly sat back down after a moment's thought. Pei Shizhou was no less shocked than Xia Yichu. If Yang Yunxian wasn't lying, then Yang Yunxia was a terrifying woman; she could even harm her own son.

"It's absolutely true. I remember that Jianye had a fever that day, and the Liu family wouldn't give me any money. In desperation, I thought of Yang Yunxia and decided to come and borrow some money from her."

Because I was in a hurry, I saw that the Xia family's door was open, so I pushed it open and went in. Inside the room, I saw Yang Yunxia calmly holding a pillow, covering Xia Zhiqian's face.

The pillow belonged to Yang Yunxia; it was very large and almost completely covered Xia Zhiqian, leaving only his two small feet exposed.

I screamed in fright, and Yang Yunxia quickly removed the pillow upon hearing my scream. Xia Zhiqian also woke up at that moment and started wailing.

Ignoring Xia Zhiqian's loud sobs, Yang Yunxia quickly came over and covered my mouth to prevent me from making a sound, lest I disturb others.

Yang Yunxian stopped and looked at Xia Yichu, noticing her expressionless face. He wondered if she had listened or believed what he said.

"And then? Keep going!"

Xia Yichu was unhappy that Yang Yunxian had stopped, and coming here to see Yang Yunxian was indeed the right thing to do. After Yang Yunxian's divorce, she lived with Yang Yunxia for a while until her workplace allocated her an apartment, at which point she moved out. Xia Yichu knew the most about Yang Yunxia.

"Later, Yang Yunxia cried and knelt down in front of me, saying that she deserved to die and shouldn't have had such thoughts about her son because she was angry with Xia Guohua."

She also told me that Xia Guohua liked another woman, and even after marrying her, he couldn't forget her. Even though she gave birth to two sons for the Xia family, he never came back to see her once.

I'm a woman too, and I felt sorry for her, so I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone. Over time, I completely forgot about it. It wasn't until recently, while in prison and reflecting on the past, that I remembered it.

Not long after that incident, news came from the army that Xia Guohua had been killed in action. Don't be fooled by Yang Yunxia's tearful outbursts during that time; she was probably secretly overjoyed! A man who didn't love her was dead, and that was that.

"Yang Yunxian, what does this have to do with Xia Guoan? When Xia Zhiqian was just over ten months old, the national college entrance examination had not yet been reinstated, and Yang Yunxia did not know that Xia Guoan could return to Beijing."

Xia Yichu had no idea what Yang Yunxian was thinking; she couldn't fathom that Yang Yunxia liked Xia Guoan.

"Yes, Xia Guoan didn't come back at that time. Perhaps Yang Yunxia had already been thinking about divorce and remarriage, wanting to get rid of Xia Zhiqian, this burden."

After I discovered this, she dared not lay a hand on Xia Zhiqian again. Later, Yang Yunxia felt that Xia Guohua did not like her and discovered that Xia Guoan looked a bit like his brother.

Yang Yunxia couldn't have Xia Guohua, so she was willing to be with Xia Guoan. That's why she later wanted me to get rid of Lin Weihong to make room for her.

The more Yang Yunxian spoke, the more sense it made; it must be true. Xia Guohua had only seen Yang Yunxia once, from afar, on her wedding day. He had a dark expression on his face then, completely ignoring Yang's relatives and completing the ceremony with a stern expression.

Soldiers have an intimidating aura; Yang Yunxian, for one, didn't dare approach them to speak. Xia Guoan was much better; although he wasn't as tall or handsome as Xia Guohua, he was refined and approachable.

"They're often together."

Xia Yichu didn't believe Yang Yunxian's guesses; they seemed far-fetched. However, she was willing to believe that Yang Yunxia had tried to smother Xia Zhiqian. Yang Yunxian's account was so detailed, including many aspects that only someone who hadn't experienced it could articulate.

Many strange and unusual diseases have emerged in later generations, but due to the limitations of modern medicine, they remain undiscovered. For example, Yang Yunxia's attempt to smother Xia Zhiqian might have been caused by postpartum depression.

That's definitely not why she wants to be with Xia Guoan. She went to great lengths to marry Xia Guohua, and she wouldn't give up easily. The real question is why she's trying to stop her mother from being with Xia Guoan. Is there some hidden story behind this?

"No, Xia Guoan lives at the school. During the time your uncle was killed, Xia Guoan would come back to see the children whenever he had free time. Besides, Xia Guoan doesn't like me, so he definitely doesn't like that old woman Yang Yunxia either."

Yang Yunxian was quite confident about this. Even if Xia Guoan liked Yang Yunxia, ​​it was impossible for them to be together. The chances of him being with Xia Guoan were much greater than those of Yang Yunxia.

Xia Guoan is clearly a man who observes proper etiquette; how could he be with his sister-in-law?

When did Yang Yunxia encourage you to get a divorce?

Xia Yichu agreed with Yang Yunxian's statement that Yang Yunxia bore an unshirkable responsibility for her mother's death.

"Let me think about it. So many years have passed, and I've forgotten a lot of things."

Xia Yichu wasn't in a hurry, and she didn't urge Yang Yunxian. Twenty years had passed; they really needed time to think things through.

"It seems like it was before Xia Guoan came back, not long after she gave birth to Xia Zhiqian. I often complained to her about how the Liu family treated my son and me badly. She told me that women can hold up half the sky, and I have a job, so what am I afraid of?"

"If all else fails, we can get a divorce," which shocked me. My cousin had been brainwashed by her mother since she was little, making her think about her younger brother all the time. These words didn't sound like they came from her mouth.

Then I thought about it again. Ever since she married Xia Guohua, she has been reading books every day. It's normal for her mindset to change after reading for several years.

Even after she went to university and started working, she did the same things as before, nothing changed, and she was still being exploited and bleed dry by her family.

Yang Yunxian shook her head sarcastically. Having a mother and brother like that was worse than not having any at all; it would have been better if she had no parents at all. Fortunately, she was already grown up when her parents died and could take over her mother's job.

After her younger brother died of illness, her parents lost all hope for the future, and both of them passed away within five years of each other.

"Shizhou, what do you think of what Yang Yunxian said?"

Xia Yichu leaned her head wearily against Pei Shizhou's chest. Pei Shizhou held her with one arm and played with her hair with the other. They had been back for a while and heard these words from Yang Yunxian. The two of them were still unable to calm down.

"Aside from what she herself speculated about, everything else is very likely true."

"That's what I think too. Why do you think Yang Yunxia doesn't want my mom and Xia Guoan to be together? They've never met, and they've never even spoken to each other."

Xia Yichu was puzzled, and the more she learned, the more confused she became. Yang Yunxia's actions defied common sense and could not be understood using normal human reasoning.
