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

"How about this, you come with me to a place tomorrow."

"OK"

Lin Xingcheng didn't come out. Xia Yichu cooked dinner that night, and Xu Shaoyang bought the groceries.

In the morning, Xia Yichu told Lin Xingcheng that she had to go out for a while and wouldn't be back for lunch.

"Xiao Chu, where are you going?"

Xia Yichu originally didn't want Lin Xingcheng to know about her land purchase, since Lin Xingcheng knew exactly how much money Xia Guoan was giving her. Now that she planned to involve Xu Shaoyang, telling him wouldn't be a problem.

"Wang Zhijie said that there was a piece of land in their village that they wanted to sell. I thought that I could buy the land with money as an investment since I didn't have to spend any money now."

"Then wait a moment, I'll go with you."

Lin Xingcheng stayed up late reading last night and had just gotten up. If Xia Yichu hadn't knocked on his door, he probably wouldn't have woken up yet.

"No need. Xu Shaoyang will come with me; he also wants to buy land. I don't have that much money on my own, so the two of us can go. You go read your book."

Lin Xingcheng didn't really want to go out either. He was eager to finish reading those books, but he didn't feel comfortable letting Xia Yichu go alone.

"Yichu, Xingcheng, I'm here."

Xu Shaoyang knocked on the door, he was really curious about what kind of business Xia Yichu wanted to do with him. He hadn't slept well all night and came to see her first thing in the morning.

"You got up quite early."

Xia Yichu opened the door for him, and Lin Xingcheng went to wash up.

"Of course, I have a date with a beautiful lady, so I have to get here early. Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, and pan-fried dumplings. You haven't tried my breakfast yet; we're business partners now."

"Have you got a meal yet"

Xu Shaoyang put the things on the stone table under the persimmon tree in the yard, and then went to the kitchen to get some water.

"No"

"Then why did you only buy two servings of soy milk?"

As Xu Shaoyang drank his water, he said, "I'll just drink your water."

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but after drinking water here yesterday, he felt much lighter and more comfortable, and his knees didn't hurt anymore. Yesterday morning, his father punished him by making him kneel facing the wall as punishment. Even though it was only for half an hour, walking was still a little uncomfortable.

"Whatever, Xiao Cheng, are you done? Come and have breakfast."

"Wait a minute, I'll be right there."

Xia Yichu changed the water in the kettle last night. She put a kettle in Xiao Cheng's room, and the kettle in the kitchen was not the one with the water from the safety buckle.

"Yichu, why doesn't this water taste as good as yesterday's?"

"You were so thirsty yesterday, that's why you thought it tasted so good."

Xu Shaoyang looked at the water with suspicion. It looked no different from yesterday's. Could it really be as Xia Yichu said?

He poured out the water and came out to eat steamed buns. Xia Yichu glanced at him but didn't say anything. Xu Shaoyang was very clever; she should be more careful in the future.

"Xu Shaoyang, Xiao Chu is in your hands now! I'm warning you, don't you dare make a move on her, you hear me?"

"Lin Xingcheng, do you want Yichu to never get married, but you still have to be wary of any man who might appear in her life? Look how good I am, handsome and rich. How about I become your brother-in-law?"

"Not good at all! You weakling, have you forgotten how Xiao Chu beat you up last time?"

"I just don't hit women."

"What are you two talking about? Stop dawdling, Xu Shaoyang, hurry up."

"Here you are!"

Xu Shaoyang scurried over and took the water glass from Xia Yichu's hand. He even turned around and gave Lin Xingcheng a provocative look before leaving.

Lin Xingcheng wasn't worried anymore; Xiao Chu hated men deceiving women's feelings. Given Xu Shaoyang's dark past, he definitely had no chance.

After meeting up with Wang Zhijie and the others, Xia Yichu suggested taking a taxi, and Xu Shaoyang readily agreed.

An hour later, they arrived at Luosha Village, and Xu Shaoyang gave them twenty-six yuan. Wang Mingpeng felt a pang of heartache; if they had taken the bus, it would have only cost three yuan and twenty cents for the four of them, even though it would have been a seven or eight-minute walk to the village.

"Yichu, I'll go borrow a motorcycle to take you to see the land. I'll have Pengzi tell the village chief."

It takes half an hour to get there by motorcycle, and the road is in bad condition.

"OK"

"Yichu, can you tell me now what kind of business you want to do with me?"

"I'd like to buy some land. There's a piece of wasteland in Luosha Village that they want to sell. I'd like to take a look, and if it's suitable, I'll buy it."

Xu Shaoyang looked at Xia Yichu in disbelief. She spoke so casually, as if she were buying a piece of clothing.

"Well... buying land requires a lot of money."

"I've inquired, it's three or four hundred thousand."

At this moment, Wang Zhijie drove up on his motorcycle and called them to get on. Xu Shaoyang sat inside, and Xia Yichu sat outside.

"Drive slowly, Yichu, hold on tight."

"It's okay, I'm holding on!"

There must be a reason why so many girls like Xu Shaoyang. Throughout the journey, he has been considerate of Xia Yichu's feelings in every way, acting like a gentleman with impeccable manners.

He's good-looking and generous; in ten years, even more people will like him. However, Xia Yichu might not be able to enjoy that. He'd be a good business partner.

Xu Shaoyang was quite nervous, Xia Yichu was sitting so close to him. A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted from her nose; he wondered what she had applied.

Despite Xu Shaoyang's sharp tongue and tendency to blurt out everything, he's actually quite good at sweet talk and has never even held a girl's hand.

"We're here, this is it."

Xia Yichu got out of the car first, and when Xu Shaoyang got out, his face was flushed and his whole body was hot.

"Xu Shaoyang, why is your face so red? Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, it's just hot and sunny."

"Is it hot?" "No, I don't feel it." Wang Zhijie looked at Xu Shaoyang without saying a word, as if he knew why!

Here, have some water.

"No, no need, I'm fine."

Xu Shaoyang looked at Xia Yichu's water bottle, which seemed even hotter. Xia Yichu thought he was disgusted by her; she was even worried that Xu Shaoyang was sick! After all, he changed girlfriends more than a dozen times a month at school.

"This kettle is new, I've never even drunk from it, drink it or don't, it's up to you."

Xia Yichu shoved the water bottle into his arms, thinking, "This water bottle is for Xiao Cheng to use from now on!" If she wasn't afraid he would faint, Xia Yichu wouldn't have bothered with him at all.

"Wang Zhijie, there are a few acres of land here."

"It's about 32 mu, while the village next door only has 28 mu, and they sold it for 600,000 yuan."

In recent years, most of the decent land in Shenzhen has been bought up, leaving only remote areas like theirs. The wealthy don't want it, and the poor can't afford it.

However, in the past two years, many villages near them have sold off a lot of land. Only their area, being the most remote, remains unwanted.

"Then tell me, how much money would it cost to acquire this piece of land in your village?"

"At least 300,000, and at most no more than 350,000."

"Wait a minute, Yichu, are you really going to buy this land? This place is so remote, what if we get stuck with it?"

Buying land is fine, but not this particular piece. Who knows how long it will take for it to appreciate in value?

"You guys discuss it."

Wang Zhijie consciously found a place to sit further away; this was an important matter and he couldn't just speak about it casually.

"No, you can trust me."

"Yichu, that's hundreds of thousands! Where did you get so much money?"

"It was given to me by my biological father. Go back and think it over carefully. Do you want to buy it with me? If Wang Zhijie can help me get it for 300,000, I definitely want to buy it."

Su Shaoyang didn't say anything more. He needed to think carefully about such a large sum of money.
