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

"I don't think so! It's not just one person saying that; several people have said they've met your parents."

Yu's mother was puzzled. It was understandable if one person made a mistake, but it was impossible for several people to make the same mistake together.

"Mengxi, I'll make a call and ask."

"it is good"

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Before Lin Xingyuan could reach the phone, the doorbell rang.

"I'll go open the door."

Yu's mother was even more eager than them, walking ahead to open the door. Upon opening it, she found Xia Yichu and Lin Xingcheng. She looked left and right but didn't see the Lin couple.

"Auntie," Lin Xingcheng greeted politely.

"Auntie, what are you looking at?"

Xia Yichu asked speechlessly, unable to understand what Yu's mother was thinking. Don't all mothers want their daughters to be happy? Instead, she listened to her daughter-in-law's instigation and made trouble out of nothing.

"N-nothing. Yi Chuxing, come in quickly."

Yu's mother stepped aside to let them in. At that moment, Lin Xingyuan also came over.

"Xingcheng, it's so hot, why did you bring Xiaochu here?"

It's mid-August now, and although it's only a little past ten in the morning, the sun is already very strong outside.

"I…"

Just as Lin Xingcheng was about to explain, Yu Mengxi happily walked over and pulled Xia Yichu, saying, "Xiaochu, come sit down. I've turned on the air conditioner, it won't be hot in a bit."

"How are you? Did you eat anything this morning? Xingyuan, go and get some pickled plums from home for Xiaochu."

"it is good"

Yu's mother stood to the side, staring at Xia Yichu's belly. She had only been married for a few days; could she already be pregnant?

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. I ate quite a lot this morning."

"That's good. My mom said my parents came too. Where are they?"

Seeing Xia Yichu and Lin Xingcheng there, Yu Mengxi could basically confirm that her parents-in-law had also come. She just wondered why they hadn't come to the house.

"Xiao Chu, here. Oh right! Where did Mom and Dad go? Why didn't they come home with you?"

Lin Xingyuan gave Xia Yichu a bag of pickled plums. Xia Yichu took it and ate one; it was quite delicious. Previously, when Yu Mengxiang was newly pregnant and couldn't eat much in the first few months, she ate a lot of pickled plums.

Although she eats less now, Lin Xingyuan still keeps some at home so she can have some whenever she wants. Lin Xingcheng saw Xia Yichu eagerly eating the sour plums and could only offer an explanation.

"Sister-in-law, brother, Mom and Dad asked me to come and call you over for lunch. They've already gone to the market to buy groceries."

By the way, my brother-in-law bought an apartment in your neighborhood. My parents are planning to move in, so it will be easier for them to take care of my sister-in-law and her child.

Lin Xingcheng's words shocked Lin Xingyuan and his wife, as well as Yu's mother, especially Yu's mother, who reacted the most strongly.

It's nothing for her to arrive at Lin Xingyuan's house a month in advance to reserve a good room. Pei Shizhou can just buy a whole house without having to squeeze in with them.

"Xingcheng, where did your brother-in-law buy the house? I've never heard him mention it."

Judging from her daughter and son-in-law's expressions, they clearly didn't know about this before.

"In the building next to my older brother's house, on the first floor of building eight."

Yu's mother knew that she had seen workers renovating the place when she visited her daughter before, and last month she had run into that family moving furniture and appliances. To be honest, Yu's mother was extremely envious.

She heard from other residents that the owner had bought the two-story house and then combined them, saying that they had elderly relatives living with them. Buying the first floor was convenient, and adding another floor would make the space more spacious.

Residents of the neighborhood heard this from the renovation workers. With current housing prices, buying two apartments, combining them, plus renovations and furniture, would cost at least a million yuan.

Lin Weidong and his wife are really lucky. They raised Xia Yichu and married such a big boss, and most importantly, he treats them well.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, and aunt are moving in here starting today, so we can take care of each other if anything happens."

"Shi Zhou is so thoughtful. Xiao Chu, I will pay you rent every month."

My parents came to take care of my wife, because I'm not capable enough to afford a bigger house since our house is too small.

Lin Xingyuan knew that his parents had suffered a lot of grievances with him, but Yu Mengxi was pregnant now, and he didn't want to cause trouble with her family.

Moreover, Yu Mengxi is different from her family; she is also a victim. Lin Xingyuan felt sorry for her and didn't want to put her in a difficult position because of this matter.

The day his parents and mother-in-law had a fight with Yu Mengxi's sister-in-law, Yu Mengxi was emotionally devastated that night and didn't sleep a wink. She cried in his arms all night, asking why she had to be stuck with these family members.

It wasn't like this before her brother got married. Her parents used to feel sorry for her before her sister-in-law gave birth to a son.

She used to criticize her sister-in-law when she went too far. But things changed after the birth of the Yu family's first grandson. Even knowing that her sister-in-law was wrong, especially her mother, she kept telling Yu Mengxi to tolerate it.

"Brother, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to get people to talk behind my back?"

Xia Yichu said with dissatisfaction that she had said before that no one should make her aunt and uncle suffer.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I originally wanted to rent a place for my parents too. Since Shi Zhou bought a house for them, he's done a huge help, so it's only right that we pay rent."

Lin Xingyuan went to Xia Yichu's house for dinner that day to ask for his parents' opinions. He wanted to discuss renting a house with them, but the conversation was interrupted halfway through the meal because of Xia Yichu's situation.

Lin Xingyuan knew perfectly well that his mother-in-law lived with them, and his own parents didn't want to live under the same roof. Yu Mengxi had said that after giving birth and finishing her postpartum confinement, she also wanted to go home and be the bad guy.

Even if I can't get her brother and sister-in-law divorced, I won't let them have an easy life. Isn't it just about hurting each other? It's like anyone can't do that.

Yu Mengxi also told Lin Xingyuan to mind his own business and pretend he knew nothing.

"The house was bought by Shizhou and me for my aunt. As long as my aunt and uncle are comfortable living here, that's all that matters. Besides, my aunt and uncle aren't just your parents; my sister, Xiaocheng, and I also have a share in their lives."

"Big brother, we can't let anyone suffer. You know I've always had a bad temper. If anything happens to my aunt and uncle, I'm capable of anything."

As Xia Yichu spoke, she glanced at Yu's mother. Yu Mengxi's expression remained unchanged; she showed no displeasure, though she too was annoyed with her mother.

Yu's mother was different; her face was very unpleasant. How dare Xia Yichu, a junior, come to her door to warn her?

Neither the Lin couple dared to speak so bluntly in front of her, and their daughter and son-in-law didn't dare to utter a single word.

"Yichu, what are you saying? Who would dare to make your aunt and uncle feel wronged? Your sister-in-law has been pregnant for so long, and they rarely come to our house. If it weren't for your wedding this time, they don't know when they would have come to Kyoto again."

Yu's mother meant that the Lin family didn't value Yu Mengxi, and she was standing up for them.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Yu Mengxi was furious and embarrassed. It was one thing for her mother to say such things in front of her, but to say them in front of Xia Yichu was unacceptable. How would Xia Yichu feel about her afterward?

"Nonsense, am I wrong? You only take care of your grandson's daughter, not your own grandson."

"Auntie, you're right. You didn't even take care of your grandson yourself, yet you came all the way here to look after my sister-in-law. As the saying goes, you love the child you gave birth to yourself."

"You... fine, I'll leave. You just want to get rid of me, so I'll leave."
