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

When Xia Yichu woke up in the morning, Pei Shizhou was no longer in bed.

Thinking of her red envelope, Xia Yichu quickly got up. There was nothing left on the ground, which startled her, and she screamed.

"Pei Shizhou, Shizhou."

"Xiao Chu, what's wrong? What happened?"

Pei Shizhou ran in, carrying a shovel and wearing an apron, looking anxiously at Xia Yichu.

Seeing Pei Shizhou wearing an apron, Xia Yichu couldn't help but chuckle.

Pei Shizhou was terrified. He was cooking in the kitchen when he heard Xia Yichu shouting for him from the room. He wondered what had happened to her. But seeing her standing there perfectly fine, even laughing heartily, Pei Shizhou was completely baffled.

"Xiao Chu, what are you laughing at? By the way, why did you call me so urgently just now? What's wrong?"

"Where's the red envelope I left on the floor last night before going to bed?"

"I've put the red envelopes and the money away in the cabinet. Go wash up first, then come out for dinner. We'll open the red envelopes together after dinner."

"Okay, what does it taste like?"

Xia Yichu sniffed hard, and she seemed to smell something burning.

"Oh no, my food is burnt."

Pei Shizhou hurriedly ran out, and Xia Yichu curiously followed him. When they got to the kitchen, they saw that some kind of food in the pot had turned completely black and was smoking.

Pei Shizhou quickly turned off the stove and turned to look at Xia Yichu.

"It's okay, there are other dishes at home, I'll cook them for you. Go brush your teeth and wash your face."

Xia Yichu looked at the disastrously messy pot of food and replied with an "okay." An hour later, the two finished their meal and returned to their room to open red envelopes and count the money.

I'm not going anywhere today; I plan to stay home. Pei Shizhou said that the two elders of the Zhou family and Zhou Wenbin will come over for dinner tonight.

Yesterday, Lin's mother told Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu that they could only return to their parents' home tomorrow. Everyone was very considerate today, and no one came to disturb them.

Pei Shizhou opened the red envelopes, while Xia Yichu counted the money, thoroughly enjoying herself. So much money! Everyone was so generous.

Xia Yichu received several red envelopes containing tens of thousands of yuan yesterday. Grandpa and Grandma Zhou gave her bank cards, property certificates, and various kinds of jewelry.

"You're so happy with this little bit of money? How about I take the money out of the bank and leave it at home for you to count?"

Pei Shizhou smiled indulgently as he watched Xia Yichu earnestly counting the money.

"No, what if it gets stolen? Also, we need to be more discreet in the future, so we don't attract the attention of thieves."

Although Xia Yichu has a space to store money, she doesn't plan to tell anyone that she has a space, and she keeps all her important things in the space.

"Okay, whatever you say."

A while later, as the two were counting the money, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll go open the door."

Pei Shizhou glanced at the watch on his wrist with suspicion. It was only a little past one o'clock, so it couldn't be his maternal grandparents. They said they would come to his house at four o'clock, and that they would buy groceries then, and he wouldn't need to cook.

Xia Yichu waved to him without looking up and said, "Go."

Pei Shizhou hadn't returned for a long time. The faint sounds of arguing could be heard outside. Xia Yichu carefully put away the red envelopes and money, locked them in the cabinet, and went out to check.

Who was causing trouble on the second day of her marriage? Could it be the Pei family she had mentioned last night? Xia Yichu hadn't gone far when she heard the voices getting louder and louder.

"Pei Shizhou, no matter what, my brother is still your biological father. How can you give away the family property to outsiders without his consent?"

Look at your dad, he works so hard, he's thin and dark-skinned now. He's old and can't work anymore, and you don't even think about giving him some money for his retirement.

Pei Hai, feeling sorry for Pei Feng, said that Feng Yarou had come to their house this morning to tell the Pei family that Pei Shizhou was getting married and would give all his property to Xia Yichu.

They said he was completely infatuated with Xia Yichu, and that Pei Shizhou's company would eventually belong to the Xia or Lin family. They also said that if they didn't act soon, they wouldn't be able to benefit from Pei Shizhou at all.

Although they can't benefit from Pei Shizhou's influence now, as long as Pei Feng is around, Pei Shizhou can't just ignore him. He thinks that when Pei Shizhou takes care of Pei Feng in his old age, they'll be able to benefit a little.

"Big brother, I..."

Pei Feng was still affected by what Feng Yarou said yesterday, and it took him a long time to fall asleep. Not long after he fell asleep, his older brothers came to his door.

They wanted him to come and ask Pei Shizhou for money, saying that he worked himself to the bone every day and only earned about a thousand yuan. Pei Shizhou had given away his entire fortune to an outsider, so as his son, he had to provide Pei Feng with retirement funds.

She even advised Pei Feng that even if he didn't think of himself, he should think of Pei Shizhou. Pei Shizhou is now completely devoted to Xia Yichu, even giving her his family fortune.

If one day Xia Yichu doesn't like Pei Shizhou anymore and kicks him aside, Pei Shizhou will have nothing left, and it will be too late to regret it.

After what happened to Feng Yarou, Pei Feng felt he had to be on guard, so the three brothers came to find Pei Shizhou together.

"Shut up. It's one thing that Pei Shizhou didn't invite any of the Pei family members to his wedding yesterday. But he didn't even invite you, his own father. That's outrageous!"

Xia Yichu understood what was going on inside; it turned out that the Pei family had indeed come to confront them. That made sense; the neighbors had all been watching the commotion that day, so it wasn't surprising that the Pei family knew.

Xia Yichu was quite surprised that the Pei family had only come looking for trouble now; she thought they should have come last night.

Xia Yichu walked to the door and saw through the crack that Pei Hai looked furious, while Pei Feng was looking down dejectedly.

Pei Shizhou didn't let them in at all. When he saw that it was a member of the Pei family coming to the door, he went out and closed the door.

He looked at them coldly and said, "Get out, and don't ever come to my house again."

Pei Hai became even more agitated upon hearing this, "What kind of attitude is this? Xia Yichu is an outsider, what right does she have to take away your family property?"

"What? If not my wife, are you outsiders supposed to give her to?"

Pei Shizhou deliberately emphasized the words "outsider," because over the years his uncle had forbidden him from killing Pei Feng, saying it would dirty his hands.

Pei Shizhou only interfered in their business or work, making their lives extremely difficult. They did the hardest work for meager wages. Pei Zongna and her family encountered setbacks in everything they did, and Pei Shizhou was partly responsible for it.

"Shizhou, your uncle is doing this for your own good."

Pei Tao spoke earnestly, appearing to be concerned for Pei Shizhou.

"No need. Besides, I don't have an uncle."

Pei Shizhou said mercilessly that Pei Tao and Pei Hai were so angry they were half-dead.

The neighbors pointed and whispered among themselves. Pei Tao pointed at Pei Shizhou and said, "You..."

"Neither does my second uncle."

Before Pei Tao could speak, Pei Shizhou said something that made him even angrier.

Pei Feng, watching the tense scene unfold, hesitated before speaking, "Shi Zhou, they are your elders, you can't talk like that. They are just concerned about you."

Pei Shizhou sneered, "No need. I think they're after my family fortune. Pei Feng, listen to me, even if I throw away all the money, I won't give the Pei family a single penny."

Upon hearing this, Pei Hai said anxiously, "Pei Shizhou, are you even abandoning my brother, his biological father? He only has you as his son now."
