"Wait a moment"

Yu Mengxi called out to her parents, who were about to leave. The two of them froze, stopped in their tracks, and turned to look at her.

"Mom and Dad, I can agree to give the house to Yu Mengxue, but I have one condition."

Hearing this, Yu's mother breathed a sigh of relief. The reason she was so eager to take her daughter to transfer the property was because she was worried that her daughter would change her mind.

She understood the principle that delays could lead to complications, so the transfer of ownership was best done as quickly as possible. Regardless of Yu Mengxi's conditions, Yu's mother was determined to get the house in hand first.

"you say"

"After you get the house, don't come to my house unless it's absolutely necessary. Also, tell Yu Mengxue and Su Tao not to step into my house again; I don't welcome them."

Yu Meng originally wanted to say that she would never have anything to do with them again, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Yu Mengxi, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to sever ties with us?"

Yu's mother asked with a livid face, while Yu's father stared at Yu Mengxi with disbelief.

His daughter, whom he had spoiled since childhood, wanted to cut ties with her family for a house.

"No, I want Yu Mengxue and Su Tao to have nothing to do with each other anymore. I will give you and Dad a little living allowance every month, but of course, it's best not to have any contact with each other except for giving money."

I'm worried that you're trying to sow discord between me and my in-laws, and negatively impact my relationship with Xingyuan. And also…”

Before Yu Mengxi could finish speaking, her mother angrily interrupted her.

"Yu Mengxi, you ungrateful wretch! We raised you all these years, and you actually want to cut ties with us for your in-laws."

That's really rare. I've only ever heard of daughters falling out with their husbands' families over their own, never anyone cutting ties with their own family for the sake of their husband's family. You're really something.

Aren't you worried that you'll argue with Lin Xingyuan in the future, get kicked out of the house, and not even be able to go back to your parents' home? You're still young, you have a long life ahead of you, you don't understand the ins and outs of things.

You think your in-laws will treat you well forever, and that Lin Xingyuan will stay by your side forever?

Yu's mother stood with her hands on her hips, pointing at Yu Mengxi and saying a lot of things. Xia Yichu and the others didn't interrupt and listened quietly.

Her aunt was right; Yu Mengxi had to make the decision herself. Lin Xingyuan wasn't in a hurry to speak either. He trusted himself and believed his family would treat Yu Mengxi well. He would prove it with his actions; words alone weren't enough.

"Mom, you don't need to waste your breath. I've made up my mind, and no one can change it. If you don't agree, I won't give the house to Yu Mengxue. Go back and discuss it with Dad."

"I agree, there's no need to wait until we get back to discuss it. Since you don't want to have any further dealings, shouldn't you return your dowry of 88,000 to our family?"

Upon hearing his mother's words, Yu's father immediately felt uneasy, realizing that she was forcing his daughter to sever ties with them.

"No, I won't agree," Mr. Yu said loudly.

"She's grown up and wants to cut all ties with us. What right does she have to accept the dowry we gave her?"

When Yu's mother said this, she glared fiercely at Yu Mengxi.

"Okay, but you have to give me a written agreement. If you want to cut ties, then let's cut ties cleanly. There will be no more contact between us, and I won't have to give you living expenses."

"Fine! Then you should pay us back for all the money we spent raising you from a baby, and then you..."

"That's enough, come home with me."

Unable to bear it any longer, Mr. Yu went over and pulled Mrs. Yu away.

"I'm not going back. Why should I go back? Didn't she say she was going to cut ties? If she has the guts, then cut ties cleanly. She..."

Yu's mother's voice grew softer and softer until it was no longer audible. Yu Mengxi felt numb with heartache; she didn't know why things had turned out this way.

"Sister-in-law"

Xia Yichu called her softly. Yu Mengxi forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, and said to Xia Yichu, "I'm fine, you and Shizhou go back! Don't worry about me."

"Yes, it's getting late, you must be hungry! Let Shizhou take you back, your sister-in-law is fine with me here."

Lin Xingyuan knew that Yu Mengxi was in a particularly bad mood, and he wanted to keep her company.

"Xiao Chu, let your sister-in-law rest. We'll come see her again tomorrow."

Pei Shizhou also tried to persuade Xia Yichu, saying that Yu Mengxi was a person with her own opinions and that she would figure things out on her own.

"Okay, big brother, take good care of my sister-in-law. Call me if anything happens."

"OK"

Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou went to tell Lin's parents before going home, and had a meal at a restaurant on their way home.

Xia Yichu got up early in the morning, changed into her pajamas when she got home, and went to bed. After Xia Yichu fell asleep, Pei Shizhou went to his study to work.

Xia Yichu slept soundly. Pei Shizhou called her, and she groggily woke up, only to find that it was already dark. She was a little dazed, feeling as if she didn't know what year it was.

"Shizhou, what time is it?"

Pei Shizhou touched her forehead. He had come to check on Xia Yichu several times this afternoon, worried that she might be sick. Fortunately, she was fine; she must have been tired and slept for five or six hours.

"It's seven o'clock, you must be hungry! Get up and eat."

"it is good"

Pei Shizhou held Xia Yichu's hand the whole time, accompanying her to the restroom to wash up. After a while, the two went out to eat.

"Shizhou, you haven't eaten."

Xia Yichu frowned as she looked at the table full of steaming food. Judging from the amount, Pei Shizhou probably hadn't eaten.

"Yes, I'm not hungry."

Actually, Pei Shizhou was so worried about Xia Yichu that he didn't feel hungry at all, because he saw that Xia Yichu had been sleeping for so long.

"Don't do that next time. When it's mealtime, either wake me up or you eat first."

"Okay, whatever you say. You should have some soup first."

Pei Shizhou served her half a bowl of soup and told her to drink it first. He also drank half a bowl himself before the two of them started eating.

Forty minutes later, Pei Shizhou finished washing the dishes and came out, saying, "Xiao Chu, let's go for a walk outside to digest our food."

"OK"

Xia Yichu is in good spirits right now. She slept for too long at noon and I don’t know if she will be able to sleep tonight. Going out for a walk would be good.

The wind was a bit chilly on an October evening; the weather was lovely and very comfortable.

"Xiao Chu, I had someone investigate the Yu family. Yu Mengxue and his wife lost a lot of money in business. Moreover, Yu Mengxue took out a mortgage loan, and used all the loan money to buy futures, and lost it all."

Yesterday, Pei Shizhou had someone beat up Yu Mengxue and also had someone investigate him. This afternoon, while Xia Yichu was sleeping, that person called to talk about his affairs. No wonder the Yu family is trying so hard to get Yu Mengxi's house back.

Yu Mengxue trusted his friends too much, and the money he used to buy futures was actually swindled by his friends, who conspired with others to set him up.

"Does my sister-in-law not know about this?"

"She probably doesn't know. Should you tell her?"

Pei Shizhou guessed that she didn't know; she probably only knew that Yu Mengxue lost money in business.

"Let me tell my older brother first, and he can decide whether to tell his sister-in-law or not."

After all, Yu Mengxi is currently in postpartum confinement, so it's best not to tell her about these troublesome matters.

We can wait a while before discussing it further; Xia Yichu is worried that she won't be able to handle the series of blows. Fortunately, she has spatial water and filled the kettles for Yu Mengxi and her aunt, hoping they can be discharged from the hospital soon.

"Okay, you decide what to do. I think it's good that your sister-in-law has distanced herself from the Yu family now. Otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future."

"Yes, you're right, that's what I think too."
