The next morning, Xia Yichu and Lin Xingcheng took a car home, which happened to be the same car as Yang Mengru and Chen Shaoping. Neither of them greeted each other before finding a place to sit down.

"Xiao Cheng, what happened to Yang Mengru? She looks like this."

Yang Mengru sat next to Chen Shaoping looking lifeless and emaciated; she was almost unrecognizable.

"have no idea"

Yang Mengru lived quite far from the school, and renting a place near the school was expensive. Chen Shaoping couldn't bear to spend the money, so he rented her a place in a remote area.

He would visit her once or twice a month. After sleeping with Zhou Shuyue, Chen Shaoping fantasized that Zhou Shuyue could marry him, so he wanted to get rid of Yang Mengru's child.

Ten days ago, Yang Mengru said she felt unwell and called Chen Shaoping to buy her some medicine to prevent miscarriage. He bought her abortion pills, and she lost the baby.

So now that Yang Mengru is recovering from childbirth, it's no wonder she looks unwell. She's been cooking for herself these past few days, and doesn't have much money to buy good food.

"Xiao Chu, wake up, we're almost there."

Lin Xingcheng didn't know why Xia Yichu could sleep so much; she could fall asleep every time she was in a car.

"it is good"

The two of them called Lin Xingyao before getting into the car. Xia Yichu wanted to stay at her house for two or three days before going back.

She was given a few days' worth of space water. Her baby was already six or seven months along, and Xia Yichu didn't want her to suffer an accident like she did in her previous life.

"Xiao Chu, Xiao Cheng, I'm here."

"Brother Shaogang"

"Brother Shaogang"

"My brother is busy and can't leave, so he asked me to pick you up. Put your things in the car and I'll drive you back."

Huang Shaogang drives a motorcycle tricycle; the last time I saw him, he was riding a human-powered tricycle. It seems he's making a good living collecting recyclables.

"Okay, Brother Shaogang, how's my sister's health lately?"

"Xiao Chu, don't worry, your sister-in-law is fine! My brother picks her up from get off work, and she's waiting for us at home. You'll see her soon. Sit tight! I'm driving."

After they left, Chen Shaoping and Yang Mengru continued talking. Yang Mengru wanted Chen Shaoping to go home with her, but Chen Shaoping refused. The two stood frozen in place, Yang Mengru shivering from the cold.

Xia Yichu and his group arrived at Lin Xingyao's house about twenty minutes later and saw her waiting at the door with her big pregnant belly.

The tricycle stopped, and Xia Yichu immediately got off, took Lin Xingyao's hand and said, "Sister, it's cold outside, why did you come out?"

"You're not cold, are you hungry? Let's go inside and eat."

Huang Shaogang and Lin Xingcheng took the things off the car together. Huang Shaogang heard his parents talking and put the things down.

"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now."

"Eat your meal before you leave."

"No, I already ate."

When Huang's parents came out, they only saw his back; their youngest son hadn't been home for several months. Huang's mother would secretly go to the place where he collected recyclables to see him, but Huang's father was too ashamed to go.

"Huang Shaogang, if you're so tough, don't come home for the New Year either. You're making me so angry!" Huang's father cursed at the door.

"Alright! Don't be angry, Xiao Chu and Xiao Cheng, please forgive us for making a fool of ourselves," said Huang's mother.

"Uncle, Aunt"

"Uncle, Aunt"

"Let's go inside and eat. Let's ignore that unfilial son." Huang's father and Lin Xingcheng picked up the things on the ground, thinking that they were better off without this troublesome son.

"Dad, don't be angry. Shaogang is sensible and filial. He earns money with his own abilities, there's nothing shameful about it."

A few days ago, a patient came to our hospital. She said her relative's child came home after graduating from university, but wouldn't do any work or look for a job, which was really worrying.

Lin Xingyao really thinks her husband's younger brother is a good person, much better than his sister. His work and character are completely unrelated.

"Xingyao, don't mind your dad. He's just angry that Shaogang hasn't come home to see us for months. Come on, Xiaochu and Xiaocheng, sit down and eat."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

The two washed their hands and came over to eat. If the Huang family didn't have Huang Shaomin, that troublemaker, things would be much better.

Fortunately, her sister's child was fine, and she didn't have to live with her in-laws, Huang Shaomin. Then, halfway through their meal, someone walked in from outside.

"Mom and Dad, you're so biased! You have a grandson but don't want your daughter. When I woke up, the house was cold and there was nothing to eat."

I knew you guys were coming to my sister-in-law's place to cook for her. Mom, hurry up and get me a bowl of rice, I'm starving!

"Huang Shaomin, don't you have hands? Go get it from the kitchen yourself. Why are you ordering your mother around?"

Mr. Huang deeply regretted spoiling his only daughter. She never greeted anyone when she came in, never did any housework, and recently kept accusing them of favoring their daughter-in-law.

She's twenty-two this year, old enough to find a husband, but if things continue like this... Mr. Huang is extremely worried, and a month ago he started making her do housework. She absolutely refused to do it, and made a scene several times.

"dad"

"Never mind, I'll go," said Huang's mother, putting down her chopsticks.

"Hmph, I'm not eating anymore, I'm too angry to eat."

Huang Shaomin stormed off in a huff. Before Lin Xingyao married into the family, her parents and two older brothers doted on her.

Now, not only have her two older brothers changed, but her parents have also started to change since Lin Xingyao became pregnant.

"Xiaomin, where are you going?" Huang's mother asked anxiously as she chased after her.

"Come back, ignore her, let's continue eating."

Lin Xingyao was used to it; whenever her parents-in-law came to cook for her, Huang Shaomin would always make a scene.

After Huang's parents finished eating and washing the dishes, they went home. Lin Xingyao didn't go to work in the afternoon; she had taken the day off.

"Sis, I'll buy you a coat, try it on."

"Xiao Chu, don't buy me anything next time. Why waste the money? I won't be able to wear any more coats after I give birth."

"No, this coat is a loose fit, you can wear it now and you can wear it later. Sis, you should try it on quickly, I'll also buy one for my aunt."

Xia Yichu helped Lin Xingyao take off her coat and put on a new one.

"Just right, looks great."

"I'll accept the coat, but don't buy it again. Xiao Chu, I've already heard about what happened with you from Dad. We have a clear conscience, so don't hold any grudges. Just live your life well."

Lin Xingyao doesn't have any grand ambitions; she just wants her family to be happy and healthy.

"Sis, I know, you can have some water."

"I've prepared the rooms for you. Stay here for a few more days. Put your things in first. This room is for Xiao Chu, and that room is for Xiao Cheng."

Lin Xingyao's house has three rooms, and Huang Shaogang occasionally comes over to stay for a few days.

When she gives birth, her in-laws say they will come to stay and help her during her postpartum period. Lin Xingyao is quite worried; she's afraid Huang Shaomin will also come along.

The two chatted for an entire afternoon, with Lin Xingcheng sitting beside them listening. Dinner was prepared by Huang Shaosong after he finished get off work, who bought groceries and cooked it. After dinner, Xia Yichu took a shower and lay in bed. She then went into her spatial storage to see if there was anything she needed to take out.

She hadn't been in the space for a long time and saw the food she bought in Kyoto still on the ground. "Could it have gone bad after all this time?" she wondered. She went over and picked it up, and it was exactly the same as when she brought it in.

Time in her space really did flow at a constant rate, just like in the novel, and she even dug out the things she had found next to the haunted house to take a look.

There were only one or two bracelets and two gold necklaces inside, and quite a bit of money. Xia Yichu counted them and found it was worth ten thousand yuan. It seemed that Yang Yunxian had sold a lot of jewelry.

Then I thought of Chen Shaoping. I wonder how he and Yang Mengru are doing now?

In the end, Chen Shaoping didn't go to Yang Mengru's house with her; he took a car home by himself. He wanted to get as far away from Yang Mengru as possible right now, so how could he possibly go home with her?
