After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

After serving several delicious dishes, Xu's mother poured herself and Yu Jinchen a glass of wine, and waited for Xu Qingman and her daughter to sit down.

Xu Jingheng gestured for everyone to eat first. After the meal, he said to Yu Jinchen, "Xiao Chen, you tell them everything you've found out."

"Okay, so it's like this, Xu Gengsheng's only son, Xu Jinbao, is dating a girl in his class. Hmm..."

Then, after Yu Jinchen explained, everyone finally understood the reason.

It turns out that Xu Jinbao and his female classmate accidentally got together and she became pregnant. This has caused quite a stir, as the girl is an only child from a well-off family and they were planning to find a husband for her.

If Xu Jinbao's family agrees, then everything will be fine. Unfortunately, he's their only son who can carry on the family line.

The two families had a very tense relationship afterwards, and the girl's parents even threatened to sue Xu Jinbao on the grounds that the girl was still a minor, while Xu Jinbao had turned eighteen a few months earlier.

After much wrangling, the woman finally said that if the Xu family agreed to pay her 200,000 yuan in emotional distress compensation in a lump sum, the matter would be settled.

Over the years, Xu Gensheng's family has had very little savings, except for farming their few acres of land or occasionally doing odd jobs nearby.

The family always gave Xu Jinbao whatever he asked for. The several thousand yuan dowry they received for their eldest daughter a few years ago has almost been spent. Now the family can't even come up with 50,000 yuan, let alone 200,000 yuan.

Sure enough, as the deadline given by the girl's family was fast approaching, Xu Gensheng and his wife thought of their youngest daughter, who had been abandoned eighteen years ago.

Previously, Xu Gensheng was working outside when he overheard his employer talking about a distant relative of his family who was very wealthy. Unfortunately, the family's only son suffered a mental breakdown and was unable to find a wife in the area.

So, they've announced that whoever can find a girl with a respectable background and good health will receive a matchmaker's fee of 10,000 yuan. Furthermore, they can provide the girl's family with a one-time dowry of 300,000 yuan.

Xu Gensheng immediately regretted marrying off his eldest daughter so early. It was only because of the trouble his son Xu Jinbao had caused that he remembered the matter again and even went to inquire about it. The family hadn't found a suitable girl yet.

So Xu Gensheng and Zhao Liping, those two beasts, conspired to have Xu Gensheng pretend to be sick at home, while Zhao Liping would find a way to trick Xu Qingman into going back.

This is all information that Yu Jinchen obtained from Xu Jinbao this afternoon after having someone bring him out. Fortunately, Xu Qingman was smart enough not to go with him.

Because his family had already made preparations; as soon as she arrived, they would kidnap her and send her away that very night. They would then say that she didn't want to stay at their house and had run away and disappeared on her way back.

After hearing this, Xu Meifen couldn't help but hug Xu Qingman and break down in tears.

"Waaaaah... Manman, it's all because Mommy was so stupid, I almost sent you into the wolf's den. Waaaaah~ I'm so sorry, Manman, Mommy is so sorry."

Luckily, I'm slowly getting smarter, otherwise Mom might never have seen you again.

"Mom, it's not your fault. It's because I'm not good enough. You both love me so much. But just because you had a little brother, I was stupid enough to listen to other people's nonsense and think that you wouldn't like me anymore."

"Waaah... I'm so sorry, Mom." Xu Qingman hugged her mother and started crying too.

It's all my fault for always telling you that I wanted to experience what it's like to be with my biological parents, which is why Mom fell for Zhao Liping's trick.

I'm sorry, Mom. I promise I won't be willful anymore, and I'll never say anything that hurts you again.

Xu Qingman thought to herself, this really isn't her mother's fault. In her past life, she was just too stupid and stubborn. Her mother clearly didn't agree to her going with Zhao Liping, saying she'd wait for her father to come home so he could take her.

But I stubbornly refused to listen and even said things like she didn't want me to acknowledge my biological parents. So, the reason for that ending in my past life was because I was too stupid.

That's why I've suffered so much all these years. My biggest mistake was causing my parents' deaths and making my younger brother an orphan at such a young age. My little brother is now living with my elderly grandparents; who knows how much more hardship he'll have to endure.

Moreover, it caused Jinchen to fall out with his family, leaving his parents to live in regret for so many years while he was away from home.

All of this is my own doing. Thanks to my son, Little Stone, I was able to be reborn. This time, I must repay them properly.

Seeing the mother and daughter weeping in each other's arms, the two men felt incredibly heartbroken. They each silently thought that if Xu Gengsheng's family stopped causing trouble, then this matter would end there. But if they refused to stop, then they could expect their retaliation.

"Waaah, waaaah~ Mommy, sister!" Xu Qing and her friends started crying too when they saw their mother and sister crying like that, and even their father holding them couldn't comfort them.

"Meifen, stop crying, Qinghe started crying too when he saw you crying." Xu Jingheng handed his sobbing son to his wife.

"Oh, don't cry, baby. Mommy and your sister are fine." Xu Meifen quickly stopped crying to comfort her son when she saw he was frightened. The little guy was already scared at noon, and now this happened again. Hopefully, he won't have nightmares tonight.

After crying, Xu Qingman felt much better. Seeing that she had frightened Xiao Qinghe, she quickly wiped away her tears and went to comfort him.

“Qinghe, don’t cry anymore. Look, your sister has stopped crying, right?” Xu Qingman said to him with a smile.

Perhaps it was his mother's embrace that made him feel more at ease, for the little guy stopped and looked at his sister when he heard her call him.

Seeing his older sister making various gestures to amuse him, Xiao Qinghe, with tears still on his face, started giggling again.

He laughed and waved his hands in his mother's arms, kicking his legs vigorously. "Hehe, sister, I want sister." He kept calling for sister, and desperately leaned his body against Xu Qingman.

Mr. Xu looked at his two children with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Our Qinghe really likes his sister. I teased him for so long without success, but with a little gentle teasing, he doesn't even want his mother anymore."

Actually, the little guy liked being held by his older sister before, but never with such eagerness as today. This was because the scent emanating from Xu Qingman after she entered the space was very attractive to him.

Xu Qingman said proudly, "Of course, in our little Qinghe's heart, we like older sister more, right?"

"Mmm, I like you, big sister, hee hee..." Xiao Qing responded and laughed again. Every now and then, he would give his big sister who was hugging him a kiss.

Yu Jinchen was so envious; he wished he could transform into Xu Qinghe, that little guy.

Forget it, now that I'm living under my parents' watchful eyes all the time, I don't dare to act on my ideas even if I have them. I'll wait until I go to university to think about it.

Anyway, he knew that Manman had listened to his advice and filled all her college applications with schools in Guangzhou, and that most of her career was also based there.
