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

For several days in a row, Lin Xingyuan didn't go anywhere. He stayed at home to cook for Xia Yichu, making all three meals a day.

"Brother, your cooking skills are really good, especially the dumplings you made this morning and the meat buns you made yesterday. My sister-in-law is going to be very lucky from now on."

It's not just Xia Yichu praising him, but Lin Xingyuan's cooking is indeed delicious. He cooks three different meals for Xia Yichu every day.

"I've been learning from the cafeteria chefs for several years. I haven't mastered all the skills, but I've learned about 70-80% of them."

Lin Xingyuan remembered that Xia Yichu was a picky eater when she was little. The three of them ate everything, but Xia Yichu wouldn't eat the things she didn't like.

His parents were busy, so he and his sister took turns cooking lunch and dinner. Sometimes Xia Yichu complained that the food was unpalatable and only drank plain porridge.

"It's good to learn another skill. If you don't know what kind of job to do in the future, you can open a restaurant or a breakfast shop."

"I'd rather not do business. I learned cooking from my master so I could cook for my family."

By the way, Xiao Chu, I remember you used to dislike eating scallions and cilantro. But I saw you had fried rice with scallions and scallion pancakes in Kyoto a few days ago.

Xia Yichu was stunned when she heard this. Yes! She used to refuse to eat many things.

But that was in the past. The time she was imprisoned by the Liu family in her previous life made her change all those habits.

At that time, all I cared about was keeping her from going hungry; I didn't care whether she liked the food or not.

Later, she gradually got used to it and now it seems there's nothing she won't eat.

"Brother, people's tastes change. I eat everything now, I'm not picky about food."

Lin Xingyuan smiled and said, "It's good that your tastes have changed. You'll be healthier if you don't pick and choose your food."

He got up and went to the kitchen to bring out a plate of fruit. "Here, have some fruit."

Xia Yichu took the fruit, took a bite of the apple, but her thoughts drifted away. In her past life, she had suffered terribly in the Liu family, and those unbearable memories flooded back like a tide.

But now, with her older brother taking care of her and her other relatives doing well, Xia Yichu is incredibly content.

"Big brother, we must all live well together as a family from now on," Xia Yichu suddenly said.

Lin Xingyuan patted her head. "That's for sure. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, your big brother will be the first to object."

Xia Yichu's eyes reddened slightly. "Big brother, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? You're my sister, who else would I help if not you?"

Lin Xingyuan smiled as he spoke, and Xia Yichu looked up, holding back her tears. She quickly changed the subject, otherwise, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back her tears.

"Big brother, what are your plans for the future?"

"I'm not worried about my parents because my sister and brother-in-law are here. I want to stay in Shenzhen and find a job."

The main reason was that Lin Xingyuan was worried about Xia Yichu, so he discussed it with his parents during the time he was home.

He wanted to find a job in Shenzhen and take care of Xia Yichu at the same time, and his family supported his decision.

"Brother, working is too hard and you don't even make any money. Wang Zhijie is doing business at a street stall. Why don't you work with him for a few days and see how he does business? Then I'll pay for you to open a shop."

Xia Yichu wanted to start a business last year, but a series of events kept her from doing so.

"Nonsense. If I really wanted to do business, I have my own money. I don't need to use money to do business."

Lin Xingyuan learned from his parents that Xia Guoan had given Xiao Chu a lot of money, but that was Xiao Chu's own money. He and his family would never covet a single penny of Xiao Chu's money, nor would they spend her money.

His parents told him that Xiao Chu paid for his sister's house, and they planned to save up for another two years to pay Xiao Chu back.

"Brother, this is an investment, you understand? I'll provide the money, you provide the work, and we'll split the profits."

Xia Yichu knew that if she didn't say that, Lin Xingyuan wouldn't use a single penny of her money.

"That won't work either. If we really want to do business, I'll pay for it myself. All the money I earn will be yours to spend in the future."

Making money is fine, but what if he loses all of Xiao Chu's money in business? His parents would beat him to death, and he himself doesn't want to use Xiao Chu's money to do business.

"That won't do, brother. Aren't you planning to get married in the future?"

Xia Yichu is here to atone for her sins. She only spends money on her uncle and aunt and other relatives, and she doesn't want their money.

"I can earn money for you two to spend together. My mom said, 'Birds of a feather flock together.' I'm sure the wife I marry will be understanding and won't object to my family spending money on me."

Lin Xingyuan said earnestly. Xia Yichu was very touched. As long as her sister-in-law was sincere to her uncle, aunt, and brother, Xia Yichu was willing to give her money or a house.

"Brother, just listen to me. I have money. I don't need your money now, and I certainly won't in the future. As for doing business, you can see how Wang Zhijie does it first."

Wang Zhijie has already set up his stall at this time. Tomorrow is Sunday, I'll take you to find him.

In this day and age, doing any kind of business is better than working for someone else; it's practically a sure-fire way to make money.

"OK"

Lin Xingyuan hasn't made any money yet, so anything he says is just empty talk. We'll talk about it again when he actually makes money.

"Big brother, I'm going to class now."

"Okay, go ahead! I'll cook you sauerkraut fish tonight."

"Um"

Xia Yichu still has two years until graduation this semester, and she doesn't plan to look for a job afterward. Instead, she intends to use her reborn identity to make some investments; if she has enough funds, she'll buy several properties and collect rent in the future.

And then there's Xu Shaoyang, she invested 200,000 yuan there. She's decided to invest in multiple areas, so that she can sit at home and count money until her hands cramp up—just thinking about it excites her.

The afternoon passed quickly in Xia Yichu's anticipation. After school, she hurried home, and before she even entered the house, she could smell the aroma of pickled fish.

Stepping into the kitchen, one sees Lin Xingyuan bringing the cooked sauerkraut fish to the table, steaming hot and with an enticing color.

"Big brother, your skills are getting better and better!" Xia Yichu praised.

Lin Xingyuan used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish and gave it to Xia Yichu, who ate it without hesitation.

"Be careful, it's hot!"

Xia Yichu gave a thumbs up as he ate, "It's so delicious, big brother. If you open a restaurant with your cooking skills, you'll definitely attract a lot of customers."

Lin Xingyuan smiled and said, "You're so sweet-talking. Go wash your hands and eat."

"it is good"

The two sat at the dining table, eating pickled fish and chatting. Xia Yichu told Lin Xingyuan about interesting things that happened at school, and Lin Xingyuan listened attentively, occasionally letting out a hearty laugh.

Where Xia Yichu couldn't see, Lin Xingyuan's eyes were filled with worry. He had received a phone call that afternoon, but he didn't dare let Xia Yichu know.

After the meal, Xia Yichu helped Lin Xingyuan clear the dishes and was about to go to the kitchen to wash them when Lin Xingyuan stopped her and told her to go out and rest for a while.

Xia Yichu had no choice but to take her clothes and go take a shower. When she came out of the shower, Lin Xingyuan was sitting on the sofa.

"Xiao Chu, come here, I have something to tell you."

Xia Yichu walked over, drying her hair with a towel, and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

"Pei Shizhou called at noon, and I told him about my interest in starting a business. He wanted me to go to Kyoto and do business with him. I see he's doing quite well there, so I'd like to go and learn from him first. What do you think?"

Pei Shizhou called in the afternoon and told Lin Xingyuan about Xia Guoan's disappearance. He asked Lin Xingyuan if he could tell Xia Yichu, but Lin Xingyuan didn't want Xia Yichu to know.

She's just a young girl; she knows that this will only cause more worry for one person, and there's nothing she can do about it. He thought he should go to Kyoto first to see how things were going before deciding whether to tell Xiao Chu.

So the two of them discussed it and found an excuse to go to Kyoto to do business with Pei Shizhou.

Xia Yichu was somewhat surprised. Why would her older brother be willing to go with Pei Shizhou? She knew in her heart that Pei Shizhou had good judgment, and it was fine if her older brother was willing to go. The business and people he would come into contact with through Pei Shizhou would definitely be of a higher level than those through Wang Zhijie.

"Brother, Pei Shizhou is indeed capable. You can learn a lot from him. If you want to go, then go."

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xia Yichu asked, frowning.
