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

Because Yao Jingshen was there, the Zhou family home was bustling with activity. Grandpa Zhou cooked a huge feast for him, so much so that the dining table could hardly hold it all.

During the meal, the two elderly people piled a lot of food on his plate, making him feel stuffed.

After dinner, Grandma Zhou introduced him to her home. When she took him to Zhou Wenbin's study, Yao Jingshen was attracted by the medical books inside.

Yao Jingshen asked to read for a while, and Grandma Zhou agreed and didn't disturb him.

Zhou Wenbin didn't go home; he asked Yu Rongbing to keep an eye on Yao Jingshen. He waited at the hotel himself, afraid of missing Yao Siying.

Pei Shizhou is waiting for news at the police station. Xia Yichu didn't go anywhere; she stayed at home with the Lin family. Grandma Zhou came over earlier to call them for dinner, but they didn't go.

She and the Lin family all felt that the two elders of the Zhou family should get along well with Yao Jingshen and cultivate their relationship, as it was inconvenient for them to be around.

"Xiao Chu, is your brother-in-law coming home for dinner tonight?"

Lin Xingcheng stroked Xia Yichu's cat and said that before going to Hong Kong, Xia Yichu asked Pei Shizhou to bring the cat and dog to Kyoto to be raised.

Pei Shizhou hired someone specifically to take care of Xia Yichu's pets. After the Lin family came to Kyoto, Pei Shizhou brought the cats and dogs here to be cared for.

"I don't know, I'll call and ask later. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook."

Lin Xingcheng will be leaving again in four days. Xia Yichu doesn't know when they will meet again. Since she has some free time today, she wants to cook dinner for herself tonight.

I want to eat pickled fish.

"Okay, you have to come with me to buy groceries."

"no problem"

After saying goodbye to Lin Weidong and his wife, the two of them took their shopping baskets and went out to buy groceries. Lin Xingcheng and Xia Yichu knew what Lin Weidong and his wife liked to eat, so there was no need to ask them.

She simply asked Lin's mother to call Lin Xingyuan and his wife to come over for dinner that evening, as Lin Xingyuan was quite busy and she didn't know if he would be available.

After Xia Yichu and the others left, Lin's mother made a phone call to Lin Xingyuan's house. Yu Mengxi answered the phone and agreed to come over for dinner.

Originally, Lin's parents were going to Lin Xingyuan's house to take care of Yu Mengxi, but the day before Xia Yichu's wedding, Yu Mengxi's mother suddenly came to stay at their house, saying that she was going to take care of Yu Mengxi.

Lin's mother didn't say anything and stayed at Xia Yichu's place, planning to go to her son's house a week before Yu Mengxi's due date.

Lin Xingyuan's family has a nanny and Yu Mengxi's mother at home, so Lin's mother isn't worried about her. She doesn't want to go and stay too many days in advance, fearing that she might have a conflict with Yu Mengxi's mother and affect Yu Mengxi.

Lin's mother was understanding; she had bought and sent many things to Yu Mengxi and her child over the past two days. Yu Mengxi's mother, however, was not so understanding and, after Yu Mengxi hung up the phone, began to sow discord.

"I'm not trying to be mean, but your mother-in-law only has eyes for Xia Yichu. You're due in just over twenty days, and she hasn't even offered to come see you. It's such a long way, and you're heavily pregnant, yet she still expects you to come all the way over there for a meal."

"Mom, don't you know why my mother-in-law doesn't come to stay at our house? It's because you and my sister-in-law went too far last time."

Also, my mother-in-law brought me a whole bunch of things yesterday, don't you feel guilty saying this now?

Besides, with you around, how could I dare let my mother-in-law come to our house for dinner? You kept making sarcastic remarks at the table; how could we possibly eat?

Yu Mengxi didn't want her mother to take care of her and had chased her away several times, but this time she refused to leave no matter what.

She said she was afraid her mother-in-law wouldn't take good care of her, using the excuse that she would only feel at ease if she took care of her own daughter. Yu Mengxi knew exactly what she was up to.

It's all about money. Ever since her father had surgery last year, his health hasn't been good. The family business is run by her brother and sister-in-law, but they argue frequently, and the business is getting worse every day.

It must be because her brother is broke and wants his mother to take care of him so he can ask her for money later.

"Yu Mengxi, you're siding with outsiders. Who is your real mother? So what if you protect your mother-in-law? In her eyes, you're not even as good as her daughter, not even as good as that Xia Yichu."

"Other people's daughters are of one mind with their maternal family, but her daughter is of one mind with someone else's mother," Yu's mother said bitterly.

"Mom, I'm just being reasonable, not siding with family. Don't blame me for not warning you, if you keep making a scene like this, what will happen to the family in the future? Forget whether Xingyuan will help you or not, I'll be the first to refuse to help."

Yu Mengxiang was speechless. She had never realized how unreasonable her mother was before she got married.

Ever since her brother and sister-in-law took over the household, her mother listens to her sister-in-law in everything. She's completely lost the reasonable demeanor she used to have; now she's exactly like her sister-in-law.

"You brat, you think you're all grown up now? Don't forget how much dowry your family gave you when you got married, including a house."

That house is very valuable now, and her daughter-in-law says she wants to get it back from her daughter. Her daughter is currently pregnant, and Yu's mother doesn't dare mention it, fearing it might upset her and cause an accident.

The family's fortunes had plummeted, and they needed Lin Xingyuan's help. Before coming, Yu's mother wanted to curry favor with Lin Xingyuan and his parents, but for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"I bought the house with my own savings, and the dowry is what I deserve. You always said that my brother and I were equal, but the dowry I received was less than a tenth of what you gave my brother."

Yu Mengxi was glad that she had seen through her sister-in-law's character long ago, knowing that her brother always listened to her. They were both unreliable, so she bought herself a house. She never imagined that one day her mother would become like this.

"Those words were just to comfort you, and you believed them. How could a son be the same as a daughter?"

Yu's mother looked at her with disdain, and Yu Mengxi glanced at her expressionlessly before returning to her room.

When Yu Mengxi and Lin Xingyuan arrived at Xia Yichu's house, they noticed that her eyes were red, indicating that she had been crying.

Lin's mother pulled Lin Xingyuan to her room and asked, "Xingyuan, did you and Mengxi have a fight?"

To be honest, Lin's mother didn't have any problem with Yu Mengxi. She thought she was a good person, a very reasonable person, but her family members weren't so great.

"Mom, no, Xiaoxi said she accidentally got sand in her eyes, and she rubbed them a few times, and that's how it got like this."

Lin Xingyuan didn't even go inside when he got back from work because Yu Mengxi was waiting for him downstairs. As soon as he got downstairs, the two of them came over here.

"Are you stupid? You believe everything she says. Her eyes are definitely from crying. Forget it, don't force her if she doesn't want to talk about it."

Women are naturally more sensitive during pregnancy, so you need to be kind to her. Don't upset her, and always give in to her. Also, if you don't have much to do lately, stay home and keep Mengxi company.

"Sigh, if it weren't for your mother-in-law being at home, I'd like to take care of Mengxi myself. I worry that living under the same roof with her might sometimes lead to arguments, putting you and Mengxi in a difficult position."

Lin Xingyuan didn't know what to do either. He couldn't very well kick his mother-in-law out!

"Mom, don't worry, I'm almost done with my work. Once I finish this, I won't take on any more jobs for a while. I'll take good care of Xiaoxi."

"That's the only way."
