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

"I...I was just worried you'd get taken advantage of."

Yu's mother was speechless after being cornered by Yu Mengxi. She wondered if her daughter was really stupid or just pretending, because she dared to say anything.

Lin Xingyuan and Pei Shizhou are still here! What will the Lin family think of the Yu family?

"Ha! Mom, do you even believe what you're saying?"

Yu Mengxi's sarcastic tone made her mother feel guilty, but when she thought of her son, she immediately straightened her back.

"No matter what, you shouldn't have broken up your older brother and his wife. Now that your sister-in-law has taken my grandson back to her parents' home, you have to take responsibility for this."

Yu Mengxi lay on the bed, pale-faced and utterly exhausted, looking at her biological parents. She was not only physically weak, but also mentally and physically drained.

"Sister-in-law, have some water."

Xia Yichu secretly poured a glass of water from her spatial storage, fearing that Yu Mengxi wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"Okay, thank you, Xiao Chu."

Seeing her daughter getting along well with Xia Yichu, Yu's mother was very unhappy. She pouted and said, "You're like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, you have no good intentions. My daughter is now bedridden and can't get up, it's all your fault."

"If you hadn't disrespected your elders and hit me first, this situation wouldn't be what it is today."

Upon hearing what Yu's mother said, Pei Shizhou immediately went over and stood beside Xia Yichu, fearing that she might get angry and start hitting people again.

Xia Yichu wanted to speak, but Yu Mengxi shook her head, holding her hand. Yu Mengxi looked at her father standing silently to the side, her heart aching terribly.

She, too, had been pampered by her father since childhood. She said weakly, "Mom, just tell me what you want to do? How do you expect me to take responsibility? Don't drag Xiao Chu into this; she did nothing wrong."

"Hmph, your sister-in-law kept saying she wanted your apartment in Jingyi Garden because you went back to your parents' home. Transfer that apartment to her and coax her back home to live a good life with your brother."

Yu Mengxi did not answer her mother's question immediately, but instead looked at her father.

"Dad, do you also think I should do this? That house was bought with money I saved up by scrimping and saving."

Mr. Yu kept his head down, still not daring to look at Yu Mengxi. His son and his wife had lost a lot of money in their business. Before the Lunar New Year, they had said they wanted to invest in color TVs with a friend, but recently the price of color TVs had plummeted.

The two of them lost all their savings. It seems the daughter-in-law borrowed money from relatives and friends, but the father didn't know exactly how much.

However, his son had told him privately that the family had been short of money recently, and he was under a lot of pressure. He took a friend's advice and mortgaged the family house, using the loan to buy futures, which he has now lost everything.

What a misfortune for my family! How could I have given birth to such a fool? The two women in the family don't even know about this yet, unless the interest is paid off...

After a while, his family would be reduced to living on the streets, so he had no choice but to let his wife continue making a scene.

Lin Xingyuan is capable and hardworking, so his daughter's future will be bright. Besides, with Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou around, their lives will definitely be better than ours.

"Your money was also given to you by us. Besides, when you bought the house, your dad gave you 20,000 yuan."

I won't even mention the 88,000 yuan dowry you received when you got married, and all the other things I bought for you at the wedding.

No matter what Yu's mother said, it wouldn't hurt Yu Mengxi that much, but Yu's father's reaction chilled Yu Mengxi to the bone.

"Dad, is that what you think too?"

"Xiaoxi, your brother and sister-in-law are having some financial difficulties lately. If you help them out, they will remember your kindness."

Yu's father's words completely extinguished the last bit of family affection in Yu Mengxi's heart.

Xia Yichu and Lin Xingyuan held her hands to comfort her, and Yu Mengxi remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"Okay, the house can be given to them."

"Alright, alright, Mengxi, that's the right thing to do. You and your brother are siblings, so you'll have to rely on him to support you in the future."

Yu's mother looked so smug that she couldn't see any trace of Yu Mengxi's sad tears.

"Xingyuan, what do you have to say about this?"

Mr. Yu was in a bad mood. He was worried about his daughter's life in her husband's family, so he symbolically asked Lin Xingyuan for his opinion.

Xia Yichu rolled her eyes and asked her, feigning concern, what use was her older brother? Her sister-in-law had already agreed, how could her older brother refuse?

"Dad, the house is Mengxi's dowry, so she can decide for herself. I have no objection."

Lin Xingyuan really didn't mind. He never asked Yu Mengxi how much the house would cost to rent, and he handed over every penny of his earnings to Yu Mengxi for safekeeping.

"Xingyuan, thank you for your understanding. Mengxue is indeed facing difficulties recently. Once he earns money in the future, I will have him buy another house for Xiaoxi as a dowry."

Mr. Yu breathed a sigh of relief; he had been worried that Lin Xingyuan would not agree.

"Dad, no need. Mengxi wants a house, I'll buy it for her later, so there's no need to trouble my older brother."

Mr. Yu sighed. There was still a rift between the two families. He knew his son and daughter-in-law's character very well. Even if they were to get incredibly lucky and make money, they would never buy a house for their daughter.

Mr. Yu was just being polite, trying to save face and hoping that Lin Xingyuan and the Lin family wouldn't give his daughter a hard time.

"Sister-in-law, I haven't given the child a gift yet. How about this, since you like the houses in Jingyi Garden, I'll give him two houses. You can choose whichever one you like, and we'll go to the real estate bureau to transfer the title after you finish your postpartum confinement."

Xia Yichu said confidently, "It's just a house, right? I have plenty. Pei Shizhou also has many houses, and they're all mine now."

As long as Yu Mengxi and Lin Xingyuan live a good life and don't cause her uncle and aunt any trouble, the house and money are minor issues. The entertainment company that she and Xu Shaoyang run will soon be making money, and their wealth will only increase in the future.

"Really? Then I must thank you, aunt, on behalf of my child."

Yu Mengxi knew that Xia Yichu was trying to save face for her in front of her parents, so she played along.

"It has to be true."

Yu's mother couldn't stand seeing the two of them getting along so well, so she interrupted them. She didn't believe Xia Yichu was that generous either; anyone can brag.

"Mengxi, when do you plan to be discharged from the hospital? Then we'll go and complete the property transfer."

"Mom, Mengxi is in this state. Even if she's discharged from the hospital, she won't be able to go. Can't we wait until she's finished her postpartum confinement?"

Lin Xingyuan stood up for Yu Mengxi, saying that Yu's mother had gone too far and disregarded her daughter's health.

"No, her sister-in-law is so angry because of her that she went home. Once Mengxi finishes her postpartum confinement, she won't be able to see my grandson for a whole month."

"Go get it done as soon as she's discharged. When you get there, bring her a blanket to cover herself, and drive to the housing management bureau so she won't get chilled."

"This...this isn't a good idea! If Mengxi catches a chill, she might develop postpartum complications later on."

Lin Xingyuan still wouldn't budge, listening to his mother's nagging that postpartum illnesses are incurable. Mengxi had been in the emergency room yesterday, and although she seemed much better today, Lin Xingyuan still didn't dare to let his guard down.

"Lin Xingyuan, are you making excuses because you don't want Mengxi to give the house to my son? Don't forget, that house has absolutely nothing to do with you."

Yu's mother was so anxious she was jumping up and down. She knew Lin Xingyuan wouldn't agree; he definitely considered the house his own.

"Mom, that's not what I meant, I..."

Yu's mother wouldn't listen to Lin Xingyuan's explanation. All she wanted now was the house and to bring her grandson back. Yu Mengxi's health was not a consideration for her.

"I think that's exactly what you mean. You say you have no objections, but who knows what you're really thinking. That house belongs to the Yu family, and your Lin family can forget about taking it for yourselves."

"Stop arguing. I'll be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days and take the property certificate to the housing authority to transfer the ownership."

"Okay, it's a deal. Lao Yu, let's go back and tell Mengxue this news."

Yu's mother happily pulled Yu's father along, but Yu's father opened his mouth but ultimately remained silent. The house was a matter of great urgency and could not be delayed.
