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

"Sister-in-law, how much longer until you finish your postpartum confinement period?"

Xia Yichu was upstairs chatting with Yu Mengxi, while her aunt took the child downstairs. Pei Shizhou and the others were downstairs.

"There are still twelve days left. Mom said I need to stay in confinement for forty days before I'm out of confinement. You'll be in the same situation then. Mom has a lot of experience, so you can't go wrong listening to her."

Yu Mengxi is now very grateful to her parents-in-law; she agrees with whatever they say.

Xia Yichu felt that forty days of postpartum confinement was too long. She had water in her space, and if she drank more of it, her body should recover quickly in a few days.

Yu Mengxi was willing to stay in confinement for forty days, so I couldn't encourage her to leave early, or my aunt would scold me for it.

But she didn't want to stay in confinement for so long; it was too uncomfortable, and she couldn't even go downstairs.

"Yes, we'll listen to my aunt."

Anyway, she'll only need a month; she can't stand that many days. Luckily, her aunt didn't forbid her from washing her hair; just thinking about not being able to wash her hair for a month makes her scalp tingle.

"Shi Zhou finally has some free time to come over, why don't you go down and keep him company?"

Every morning after breakfast and after her afternoon nap, Xia Yichu would come up to chat with Yu Mengxi. This way, she wouldn't disturb Yu Mengxi's rest or make her feel bored.

Lin Xingyuan took care of her and the child that night, and Xia Yichu was very considerate and did not come over to disturb the family of three.

"He'll be here for the next few days, and I'd like to have a chat with you, sister-in-law."

"Oh! Is Yunting back?"

Gu Yunting was probably called back home by his family to be with his wife, and he was very reluctant to leave.

"No"

Xia Yichu recounted how Pei Zongna's daughter had been taken away by Chen Zongyu. It was almost dinnertime, and she wondered if the child had been found yet.

"Chen Zongyu is despicable. How could he do such a thing to a child who is so young?"

Yu Mengxi said angrily that she is also a mother. If her child were to disappear, she would go crazy.

"Yes! That's why you can't be too careful around people, even your closest relatives. Children are too young to do anything, and if something happens, it will be too late for adults to regret it."

Xia Yichu told Yu Mengxi about this to warn her to be wary of her family. Yu Mengxue has become obsessed with investing in mutual funds; who knows what he might do when he runs out of money?

Pei Shizhou told me that he and Su Tao are going through a divorce, and Yu Mengxue had already agreed to it. However, he lost all his money investing in funds again; he was actually scammed by a friend once more.

He made a little money at first, but after he invested all his money in funds, he lost it all.

Yu Mengxue knew nothing about anything, including funds. She trusted her friend implicitly, which is why she was scammed twice.

Lin Xingyuan had secretly asked someone to warn Yu Mengxue, but unfortunately, he was unwilling to trust others.

"Xiao Chu, you're right. Human nature is terrifying, especially when you're broke, you can't be human at all."

Yu Mengxi hadn't thought about her family yet; in her opinion, they were too ashamed to come looking for her again.

"Sister-in-law, you rest for a bit. I'll go downstairs and see if dinner is ready."

Xia Yichu couldn't say too much to Yu Mengxi, so she could only tell Lin Xingyuan. She asked them to keep a close eye on the child and make sure the Yu family didn't take advantage of the situation.

Although the Yu family may not necessarily do that, it's always better to be cautious. Chen Zongyu's case serves as a wake-up call for them; it's never too late to be safe.

"Okay, remember to let me know if anything happens to the child."

Yu Mengxi was also worried for the poor child, completely unaware of Xia Yichu's true intentions.

"Um"

When Xia Yichu went downstairs, she saw Pei Shizhou cooking in the kitchen. Xia Guoan was helping him, while Lin Weidong and his wife were taking care of the child in the room.

With so many people here today, I let the nanny leave work early, and Lin Xingyuan also came back at this time.

"Big brother, you're back."

"Yes, Shi Zhou is here too."

Lin Xingyuan didn't see Pei Shizhou, but he did see the car in the yard.

"Yes, cooking in the kitchen."

Lin Xingyuan didn't look well. He came home a little early today; he usually waited until everyone had finished eating before going home.

"Okay, I'll go talk to him for a bit."

"it is good"

Xia Yichu didn't ask him why he wanted to see Pei Shizhou. She figured she could ask Pei Shizhou later. Pei Shizhou had been called outside by Lin Xingyuan to talk, and even after they had set out the food and waited for a while, they still hadn't come back in.

"Xingyuan has been talking to Shizhou for almost half an hour. I'll go call them to eat."

Lin's mother couldn't hold back any longer. They could wait a bit; Xiao Chu was pregnant and couldn't go hungry. Yu Mengxi was already eating in her room; the food had been brought up by Lin's mother earlier.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go call them."

Xia Guoan was very perceptive; just as he stood up, two people walked in.

"You two hurry up and come eat. Everyone's waiting for you. Can't you wait until after you finish eating to talk about what's going on? You're making Xiao Chu starve."

Lin's mother urged Xia Yichu to eat first, but Xia Yichu refused, saying she wasn't hungry.

"Auntie, I eat snacks every day and I'm not hungry at all."

Xia Yichu was telling the truth; everyone was worried that she and Yu Mengxi would go hungry. The two of them were eating several meals a day, and she felt she had gained a lot of weight. Yu Mengxi was the same; the child was taken care of by others during the day and by Lin Xingyuan at night.

She didn't have to worry about anything; she was even fatter than Xia Yichu. Xia Yichu was only fat in the belly, but she was fat all over.

"It's my fault. Come on, Xiao Chu, eat quickly. Next time you're hungry, just eat right away, you don't need to wait for us."

Lin Xingyuan was in a bad mood. After saying a few words, he sat down and started eating. He quickly ate a couple of bites and said he was full and had to go see the child and Yu Mengxi.

Lin's parents didn't say anything. They were used to it; they were happy to see their son and daughter-in-law getting along so well.

"Shizhou, come for a walk with me."

After everyone finished eating, Xia Yichu suggested that she wanted to ask about Lin Xingyuan.

"it is good"

Pei Shizhou didn't object. With him there, he wasn't afraid of Chen Zongyu, and they were just taking a walk in the neighborhood.

The two walked around the neighborhood for a while before Xia Yichu started to speak.

"Why did your brother want to see you? He seemed to be in a bad mood."

Pei Shizhou knew Xia Yichu wanted to ask him about this, and there was nothing to hide.

"Regarding Yu Mengxue's situation, my older brother is worried that Yu Mengxue won't be able to handle it and will come to my sister-in-law for help. He hopes that I can find more people to keep an eye on the Yu family."

In a few days, it will be time for Yu Mengxue to pay the bank interest again. At that point, Yu Mengxue will probably be unable to hide it from her parents.

Pei Shizhou was worried about Lin Xingyuan; the Yu family's affairs were far from over and there was still much to fuss about. Once Chen Zongyu was caught, he even planned to take Xia Yichu home.

The Yu family will come knocking sooner or later, and given Xiao Chu's feelings for the Lin family, she can't possibly ignore this matter.

Pei Shizhou wasn't saying that Xia Yichu shouldn't interfere, but she was currently pregnant and it wasn't appropriate for her to interfere too much.

"This isn't a solution either. Do you think you can stop the Yu family from coming? I see that my sister-in-law is recovering quite well. Perhaps we should talk to her about something first."

This is so she can be mentally prepared; otherwise, if the Yu family comes knocking on her door and she knows nothing, it will be even more troublesome.

Xia Yichu believed that with her spatial water, Yu Mengxi would definitely be alright.

They can stop Yu Mengxi from seeing Yu Mengxue, but can they also stop her from seeing her own parents? What if something happens to her parents? That would be even more difficult to handle.

"That's what I told my older brother too. Now it's up to him. I'll also find someone to keep an eye on the Yu family as much as possible."

"Um"

The two didn't discuss the Yu family's issues again, and strolled around for another half hour before returning home.
