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

Xia Yichu and the others stayed at Lin Xingyao's house for two days before heading home with Lin Xingcheng. Just as they got out of the car, they overheard people talking nearby.

"Yesterday, someone came to the Chen family's house near the bridge in the east of the city to force them into marriage. Isn't that strange?"

"You mean Chen Fujia, who broke his leg?"

"Yes, yes, yes"

"The woman must be blind to have fallen for their family."

"No, I heard that the woman got pregnant by his eldest son, and then lost the child. Her parents came to their door demanding an explanation."

When Yang Mengru came home looking like that, her parents immediately sensed something was wrong. They asked her what had happened, but she wouldn't say. They took her to the hospital, where the doctor said she had just had a miscarriage and was weak, and advised her to go home and take good care of herself.

Yang's parents suppressed their anger at the hospital, only questioning Yang Mengru after returning home. Yang Mengru couldn't hold back anymore and tearfully told them what had happened. The next day, Yang's parents and two brothers went to the Chen family.

Chen Shaoping's mother said that Yang Mengru lacked self-respect, and that their relationship was consensual. She also said that Yang Mengru should pack her things and move into the Chen family home now, without any dowry.

Xu Yuling couldn't stand serving Chen Fu anymore, so she suggested that her eldest son marry someone into the Chen family to help with the work.

She wasn't stupid and didn't mention getting a marriage certificate. Her eldest son was a college student, and he wanted to marry a college student, specifically from a big city.

"That woman wasn't a good girl either."

"Who says otherwise! Stop talking, the car's here, let's go."

Xia Yichu listened with great interest, but unfortunately the two older women got into their car and left.

"Let's go home too."

Lin Xingcheng reluctantly picked up his things and followed. The station wasn't far from his home; it was only a five-minute walk.

"Auntie, Uncle"

Xia Yichu pushed open the door but didn't see anyone. At that moment, Lin's father came out of the kitchen.

"Xiao Chu, Xiao Cheng"

Xia Yichu was relieved to see that her uncle's complexion was rosy and he seemed to have gained a lot of weight.

"Uncle, where's my aunt?"

"She heard you were coming back, so she rode her bicycle to the next town early this morning to buy things. She should be heading home soon."

Her aunt must have gone to buy her roast chicken; it's a must-have on the dinner table every time she comes home from school.

"Uncle, it's so cold outside, why did you make Aunt go? We have everything in Shenzhen. Next time, don't make Aunt ride her bicycle to the next town in this freezing weather to buy things."

Xia Yichu's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice choked with emotion. She picked up her things and went back to her room, afraid that if she stayed any longer she would burst into tears.

"Xiao Cheng, why is Xiao Chu unhappy? What happened?"

"Dad, it's nothing. She's just worried about Mom."

By dinnertime, Xia Yichu had returned to normal. She chatted and laughed with Lin's mother. After dinner, Lin's parents went to work, and Lin Xingcheng went to his room to read.

She wandered around aimlessly and unknowingly ended up on the bridge. Back in high school, she often waited for Chen Shaoping here. From here, she could see his house clearly, and he could see the bridge from his house as well.

Thinking of this, Xia Yichu felt that this place was unlucky and turned to leave.

"Xiao Chu, did you come to see me?"

Xia Yichu turned her head and saw that Chen Shaoping looked haggard and much thinner than in her previous life. She gave him a mocking look, then left without saying a word.

"Sister Yichu, when did you get back?"

"Just got back, Yongqiang, where are you going?"

"I'm going to visit my classmates. Sister Yichu, has my brother Xingcheng come back yet?"

"Yes, he's at home reading. Do you want to come home with me?"

"No, no need, I'll be going now."

Oh no, his good days are over now that Lin Xingcheng is back. I hope his mom won't drag him to Lin Xingcheng for tutoring again!

Xia Yichu smiled and shook her head as she watched him go home, while Chen Shaoping watched this scene angrily.

"Xiao Chu, when did you get back?"

I ran into my neighbor Wang Guihua, who is Lin Yongqiang's mother, at my doorstep.

"Aunt Guihua, I just got back this morning."

Has Xiao Cheng returned yet?

This was her biggest concern: her son's recent grades weren't ideal. A while ago, she had a dress made to Xia Yichu's measurements, intending to exchange it with Lin Xingcheng so he could tutor Yongqiang.

"He's back; he's at home."

"It's good that you're back. I have to go out for a bit now, but I'll come over to your house again tonight."

"Okay, take care, Auntie."

Reading is wonderful; even Xia Yichu, that wild girl, has become polite. This has strengthened her resolve to send her son to university.

After dinner, Wang Guihong brought the dress she had made for Xia Yichu to her home.

It is a cheongsam dress with delicate flowers embroidered on a beige background. The neckline is a stand-up collar with small and exquisite frog buttons. The skirt flares out slightly, making it look elegant and generous.

Wang Guihong smiled and handed the dress to Xia Yichu, "Xiao Chu, your aunt made this according to your size. Try it on and see if it fits."

"Auntie, this won't do."

Xia Yichu looked at the dress Wang Guihua was holding; it was quite pretty. Lin Xingcheng had also given her a dress for her birthday this year, and it was obvious it was made by Wang Guihua.

"Oh, it's not a problem. I just need Xiao Cheng's help with something."

I don't have much to offer, except my sewing skills are alright. The fabric isn't expensive, it just takes a little time, and I don't have much to do at home anyway.

"Auntie, I'll come over tomorrow to tutor Yongqiang."

"Okay, thank you, Xiao Cheng. Xiao Chu, try on the dress first. If it doesn't fit, let me know. I'm going home to tell Yong Qiang the good news."

"Xiao Cheng, don't go tutor Yongqiang. You should focus on your studies."

In her past life, Lin Yongqiang also failed to get into university, and she didn't want Xiao Cheng to waste his time on others. However, although Lin Yongqiang didn't get into university, she heard he was doing quite well and was taking Aunt Guihua to enjoy a comfortable life.

"It's alright, I'll just give him an hour or two of extra help. It won't interfere with my studies. You can keep the dress; Aunt Guihua's sewing skills are much better than what you can buy outside."

Lin's parents did not express their opinion; the children were grown up, and they let them decide for themselves.

Lin Xingcheng tutors Lin Yongqiang and also studies at home. Lin's parents go to work, and Xia Yichu cooks two meals a day.

Time flies, today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and Lin's father has several days off. He can start his shift on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Lin's mother is on duty today, and she can have her own holiday after that.

Xia Yichu cooked dinner again tonight, preparing seven dishes and a soup. Lin Xingyuan had said last month that he wouldn't be able to come back this year. He hadn't been home for two whole years, and his mother had mentioned it several times in the past few days.

"Uncle, I'm taking the food to Auntie."

After cooking the rice, I took a little of each dish and sent it to Lin's mother.

"Okay, slow down."

Xia Yichu rode Lin's father's bicycle to the hospital. It wasn't far, and they arrived in no time. Lin's mother happened to be free and was chatting with someone.

"Auntie, I've brought you some food. Fang-jie is here too."

"Yes, your aunt and I are on duty today. Yichu is getting more and more beautiful. Director, please have your meal first."

"Let's eat some together."

"Yes, Sister Fang, I brought a lot, let's eat some together."

"No need, no need. My family said they would bring me food. I'll go and keep an eye on things. I'll call you if I need anything."

"Okay, thank you."

Lin's mother took Xia Yichu to her office; thankfully, it wasn't busy today.

"Xiao Chu, would you like to eat something with me?"

"No, Auntie, I'll eat at home."

"Then you should hurry back, or the food at home will get cold."

"it is good"

"Please ride your bicycle slowly on the road."

"knew"

Xia Yichu left Lin's mother's office and ran into Chen Shaoping's mother on the way.

"Xia Yichu, you are Xia Yichu."

Xu Yuling wasn't sure if the person in front of her was her; she was dressed too beautifully.

She wore a long coat over a red sweater and black leather shoes. Her skin was fair and delicate; she had only ever seen someone this beautiful on television.

Xia Yichu glanced at her, recognized her, and then left. It was so nice to run into Xu Yuling at the hospital during the Lunar New Year.
