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

"Brother Zhiheng, I've asked around, and Yang Yunxia's classmate Zhang Tingting and her neighbor Wu Meiling are both very suspicious."

Pei Shizhou asked around at the Xia family's old house today, and many people didn't seem to remember Wu Meiling. Only one old lady mentioned her, which Pei Shizhou took to heart.

The old lady said that Wu Meiling's back view looked a lot like Yang Yunxia's, and once she mistook her for Yang Yunxia. As for Zhang Tingting, she said that Wu Meiling was less suspicious.

"Shizhou, take a look at this first."

Xia Zhiheng came to see Pei Shizhou tonight to show him something.

"What is this?"

"My mom's notebook, it was found under the bed in my grandma's room. It's a diary my mom wrote before she got married."

Xia Zhiheng found nothing useful at the Xia family's old house, so he decided to try his luck at the Yang family's house. He was lucky; he found the notebook under his grandmother's bed.

Xia Zhiheng had read the contents when he arrived in the afternoon. The diary started after his maternal grandfather passed away, and at the beginning, he wrote that his mother was very sad.

Not long after, he began writing about how his maternal grandmother favored his two uncles, preventing his mother from going to school and forcing her to take over his maternal grandfather's job. His mother said she didn't want to, wanted to continue her studies, but didn't have the courage to resist.

She also wrote that not long after she started working, one day on her way home from get off work, she was harassed by some thugs, but was rescued by Xia Guohua who happened to be passing by.

From then on, she fell hopelessly in love with Xia Guohua, and would sneak peeks at him at the school gate whenever she had time. This continued until Xia Guohua joined the army. After Xia Guohua joined the army, Yang Yunxia originally wanted to get closer to Zhou Wenhui.

But she didn't dare. She was insecure, and every time she mustered the courage to approach Zhou Wenhui, Yang Yunxia couldn't help but back down.

Because Zhou Wenhui is not only beautiful, but also educated and from a good family, unlike her who has nothing.

Pei Shizhou took the diary and carefully flipped through it. Due to its age, many of the characters were blurred, but Pei Shizhou still tried his best to decipher them.

As he flipped through the pages, he found that he wrote less and less, only once every ten days or so, until Xia Zhiqian was seven or eight months old and he stopped writing altogether.

It took Pei Shizhou a full forty minutes to finish reading the contents.

"Zhiheng, have you noticed anything wrong?"

Pei Shizhou put the notebook down; he wanted to hear Xia Zhiheng's opinion.

"Yes, my mom said that even though she's always reading, her mind isn't really on studying. It's just that Wu Meiling keeps encouraging her to read."

My mom then thought that my dad might like cultured women, so she continued reading.

However, when the national college entrance examination was reinstated, my mother did not want to take it. She knew in her heart that she would not pass and was afraid of losing face.

Wu Meiling then urged her to take the college entrance exam, but she refused, using the excuse of taking care of Zhiqian. Later, for reasons unknown, she still registered for the exam.

"If I remember correctly, your mother not only got into university, but she also had pretty good grades."

When Pei Shizhou was little, his maternal grandparents told him a few times that they had misjudged Yang Yunxia, ​​never expecting her to be so promising.

The college entrance exam was out of 400 points back then, and Yang Yunxia scored over 360, which was a very good score. Xia Guoan only scored over 370, and he was still a high school graduate. When he was sent to the countryside as an educated youth, he would still read books in his spare time.

Everyone was quite surprised that Yang Yunxia, ​​a junior high school student who hadn't even finished junior high, could get into university. But when they thought about how she always had free time to read books, they didn't doubt anything.

"Yes, Shi Zhou, you think the same way I do, right?"

After reading the diary, Xia Zhiheng felt very upset. His mother was very likely killed by spies when he was young.

"That's right, your mother might have been replaced by spies around that time. I asked your neighbors, and Wu Meiling left around the same time."

So she's the prime suspect, but we know too little about her. Also, I've heard that Wu Meiling didn't come to stay with relatives at all.

The house she was staying at wasn't with any relatives; it was a rented apartment. It was just that things were tense at the time, so she had to say that to the public.

Having determined that Wu Meiling was the prime suspect, they could begin investigating her. However, this wasn't an easy task to uncover. If Wu Meiling was indeed the current Yang Yunxia, ​​then all traces of her existence would have been erased long ago.

"Shizhou, what do you need me to do next?"

"Tomorrow, go and ask around among the neighbors to see if Wu Meiling has any other acquaintances. I'll also go and see the family that Wu Meiling rented the room from back then, to see if I can get any clues from them."

"it is good"

After Xia Zhiheng left, Pei Shizhou went to Lin Xingyuan's room and found that he had not returned yet.

After Yang Yunxia was arrested, Yu Rongbing went to work at Pei Shizhou's company. He temporarily stayed at Gu Yunting's place for a while until he found a place to live before moving out.

He was alone at home now, and he wanted to call Xia Yichu to talk about Yang Yunxia, ​​hoping that Xia Yichu might have some clues.

After the call connected, Pei Shizhou briefly told Xia Yichu about their investigation into Yang Yunxia. At first, Xia Yichu didn't react, but when she heard Wu Meiling's name, she anxiously interrupted Pei Shizhou.

"Shizhou, listen to me, that idiot might be Wu Meiling's son. If you suspect that Yang Yunxia is Wu Meiling, you can use the idiot to test her."

It was only then that Xia Yichu realized that Yang Yunxia had brought back a fool after Xia Zhiheng died in her previous life.

She also told others that he was the son of her neighbor Wu Meiling, and that the mentally challenged man's parents had died, and that she took him in to raise him out of pity.

She knew Yang Yunxia wasn't a kind-hearted person; how could she possibly raise someone else's son for no reason? She figured that the idiot might be her son.

"Okay, Xiao Chu, I understand."

Pei Shizhou was shocked, but he didn't ask any questions and quickly agreed.

"Okay, Xiao Chu, I understand."

Xia Yichu fell silent, wondering how she could explain to Pei Shizhou that she knew so much.

After waiting a while, Xia Yichu didn't speak. Pei Shizhou asked, "Xiao Chu, are you still listening?"

"exist"

"Xiao Chu, your older brother and Yu Mengxi might be dating. It's almost nine o'clock now, and he still hasn't come home."

Pei Shizhou knew what Xia Yichu was thinking. He immediately changed the subject, remembering that he hadn't told her about Lin Xingyuan yet, and took this opportunity to tell her about it, hoping to ease the atmosphere.

"You know what? That's great! My older brother has a girlfriend. My aunt will be so happy to hear that."

Sure enough, Xia Yichu was very happy. Every time she called her aunt, she was worried about Lin Xingyuan's marriage. This made Xia Yichu worry as well, since Lin Xingyuan hadn't been in Pengcheng for a while.

Otherwise, Xia Yichu wanted to ask him what type of girl he liked, and wondered if she should find someone to introduce him to a potential partner.

"Xiao Chu, I've been a bit busy lately. I asked Yun Ting to help me find out about Yu Mengxi's family situation."

I don't know if he's tried to find out for me. He hasn't called me these past few days. I'll call him later and ask.

Gu Yunting's resentment lately is heavier than a ghost's; Pei Shizhou wouldn't even want to call him unless it was something important.

He promised to give Gu Yunting and Yang Yunxia a two-month vacation once the matter was resolved.

"Okay, Shizhou, thank you."

Xia Yichu did not prevent Pei Shizhou from inquiring about Yu Mengxi's family situation; she had no requirements regarding Yu Mengxi's family background.

She only valued Yu Mengxi's character and wanted to see if her family members were reasonable. Xia Yichu certainly hoped that the family could live in harmony, but it didn't matter if things didn't work out.

If Yu Mengxi is a bad person, or if her family is being unreasonable, then at worst, Lin Xingyuan can just live his life with her peacefully, while he and his aunt and uncle can stay away from them.
