"Xiao Chu, no, you can't do this."

Yu Mengxi strongly objected, while she and Lin Xingyuan watched anxiously. Lin Xingyuan noticed that Pei Shizhou had no expression.

"Shizhou, you should try to persuade Xiao Chu."

"It's nothing, just two houses. Brother and sister-in-law, don't worry about it."

Pei Shizhou stood calmly to the side and said that it sounded like he was just inviting them to a meal.

"This isn't about the house, how can we accept Xiao Chu's things?"

"Brother, you're wrong. This is something Xiao Chu gave to the child, not for you."

"Oh dear, why can't you explain this to me!"

Lin Xingyuan paced back and forth anxiously. He was doomed; he knew he was going to get a beating when he got home.

"Even giving it to the children won't work. Xingcheng and Xingye will have children in the future too. Isn't Xiaochu, as their aunt, showing favoritism?"

Yu Mengxi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking that saying this might persuade Xia Yichu.

"Sister-in-law, you're right, this really isn't a good idea."

Xia Yichu's unprecedented agreement was due to her oversight.

"Right! I also think that what you're doing will affect the relationship between the siblings in the future."

Yu Mengxi breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that Xia Yichu was listening.

"So I've decided that no matter whose child is born in the future, I'll give each of them two houses. My sister's child is no exception; I'll make it up to her when I go home."

Hearing this, Yu Mengxi really wanted to slap herself. Now, she hadn't been able to persuade Xia Yichu, and she'd even lost more houses.

"Xiao Chu, that's not what I meant. What I meant was..."

Xia Yichu interrupted Yu Mengxi, feigning ignorance, and said, "Sister-in-law, I know what you mean. Don't worry, even if you and my brother have ten children, I still have a house to give to them."

The staff couldn't help but chuckle when they heard this, but when Xia Yichu and the others looked over, she quickly put on a serious expression.

"Hello, the house has been transferred to your name. Please come and sign the papers."

Xia Yichu signed his name crisply and then handed the pen to Yu Mengxi.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up and sign the autograph, don't keep my sister from getting off work."

"This…"

Yu Mengxi, holding a pen, looked at Lin Xingyuan, seemingly at a loss. Her mother gave the money to her son and then walked over, pulling at Yu Mengxi as she spoke, trying to get her to sign the document quickly.

"Xiao Chu, the child is truly blessed to have you as his aunt."

"I think so too, but having you as his grandmother is his misfortune. You wouldn't even be eyeing the children's house, would you?"

Xia Yichu didn't give Yu's mother any face and directly stated her thoughts.

Yu's mother was so angry that her face turned ashen, and she couldn't speak for a moment. Looking at her daughter's thoughtful expression, she knew that her daughter had taken those words to heart.

Her face darkened further. If her family hadn't fallen on hard times and been short of money, she wouldn't have coveted her daughter's things. Now that the family is in trouble, what's wrong with a daughter helping out?

"Xiao Chu, I really can't take the house."

Xiao Chu is right, her mother will definitely be eyeing those two houses.

"Sister-in-law, I've already said the house is for the children."

"That won't work either."

"Sister-in-law, I'm so hungry. Please sign your name first. We can transfer the house to the child's name after the child is named and registered. Besides, I trust you won't just give the house to anyone."

Xia Yichu glanced at Yu's mother and son, Yu Mengxue, clearly implying that she was referring to them. This infuriated the two women, who opened their mouths but ultimately remained silent.

Let's wait until the house is in Yu Mengxi's hands. They're family, and if they urgently need money, I believe Yu Mengxi will help.

"Hurry up, I'm in a rush to get off work!"

The eldest sister urged her on, having already guessed most of the situation. In any case, she looked down on the Yu family mother and son.

Xia Yichu held Yu Mengxi's hand that was holding the pen and placed her hand on the signature.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up. Unless you're going to give the child's house away, there's nothing to hesitate about."

"Xiao Chu, I would never do such a thing."

She only returned the house to her family because she had no other choice. She wouldn't take anything back to her parents' home, not even Xia Yichu's things, nor Lin Xingyuan's or the Lin family's things.

"Then sign."

Seeing Xia Yichu's serious expression, Yu Mengxi gritted her teeth and signed her name.

"Alright, here's the property certificate."

The older woman handed the property certificate to Yu Mengxi, then packed her things and left work. All the other staff at the windows had already left.

As Xia Yichu and the others walked out of the housing management bureau, no one looked at the Yu family mother and son, including Yu Mengxi.

When they arrived home, Xia Guoan had already cooked dinner, and his family was waiting for them to eat.

"Xiao Chu, hurry up and try it, this is food made by Guoan himself."

Lin Weidong picked up a piece of beef, as well as shrimp and pork ribs stewed with mushrooms for Xia Yichu.

Unexpectedly, Xia Guoan's cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds in just one month, and his dishes tasted even better than Xia Guoan's.

Xia Yichu picked up a piece of beef and took a bite. Although it wasn't as delicious as the beef cooked by Pei Shizhou and his grandfather, it was still pretty good.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Xia Guoan stared intently at Xia Yichu, waiting for her answer. For some reason, he suddenly became very nervous, and his palms were sweating.

Xia Yichu sensed Xia Guoan's nervousness, looked up and said, "It's alright, you all eat, don't look at me."

"Yes, yes, everyone eats."

Xia Guoan happily invited them to eat, and then buried himself in his food.

With Xia Yichu's words, all his efforts these past few days hadn't been in vain. Lin Weidong told him to stay and learn how to take care of the child.

If he takes care of Xia Yichu's child in the future, Xia Yichu will see his good qualities, call him by name, and it will be only a matter of time before she forgives him.

Xia Guoan is now incredibly excited, thinking that once Xia Yichu's child is a little older, he'll go to school and teach students. He'll cultivate talent for the country and, incidentally, earn money for his child's milk powder.

Recently, many schools have approached him to offer him teaching positions, but he has declined them all. Xiao Chu is about to give birth, and he can't go at this time.

Pei Shizhou looked at Xia Guoan with mixed feelings. Xiao Chu's uncle was amazing. He had actually turned Xia Guoan into a stay-at-home husband in such a short time. Fortunately, his uncle had always been very satisfied with him.

After dinner, Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou went home. On their way home, they overheard passersby discussing a movie.

Xia Yichu realized that she hadn't called Xu Shaoyang for several days, and Xiao Wangshu's movie should have been released by now.

"Shizhou, hurry up, let's go home."

She excitedly urged Pei Shizhou to drive faster, praying that the movie would be as popular as it was in her previous life.

"Okay, sit down."

Pei Shizhou agreed verbally, and the car accelerated slightly. After arriving home, Xia Yichu got out of the car first without waiting for Pei Shizhou to get out, and then couldn't wait to go inside to make a phone call.

"Xiao Chu, slow down."

When Pei Shizhou went inside, he saw Xia Yichu hang up the phone in disappointment.

"What's wrong?"

"I just called Xu Shaoyang, but he didn't answer. I wanted to ask about the movie."

"That movie starring one of your artists? What do you want to ask? I can look it up for you."

"Okay! I wanted to ask if it's been released yet."

"Okay, are you sleepy? Go take a nap first, and you'll know the news when you wake up."

"Okay, now that you mention it, I am indeed a bit sleepy. This Xu Shaoyang is so unreliable; he didn't even call to let me know whether the movie had been released or not."

Pei Shizhou stood to the side, feeling guilty, and didn't say anything. Xu Shaoyang made several phone calls.

It was either early morning or noon, and Xia Yichu was sleeping. Pei Shizhou didn't wake her up and forgot to tell her about it.
