TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 11: The Little Bei is Lost

Upon seeing Shao Dong's expression, Mu Jingzhe quickly said, "I'm not a thief."

Previously, he had decided that he would guide them as best he could and not let them get lost. Although he had given them limited guidance until now, at least he could not be a bad example.

“I took the money mainly because your father saved it for Little Zhong and you guys to see the doctor. Your grandmother wouldn't give it to me, so I took it. It's not stealing, though. We're in a special situation, so you can't learn from him, understand?”

Shao Dong looked at Mu Jingzhe's anxious expression. "I know."

“Good if you know that. This is what your father left you. Let's just say it's accepting your legacy in advance. This time, not much was spent on Shao Zhong's medical expenses since he did not take any medicine. The rest is here. Keep it well. You can use it if necessary in the future. ”

Shao Dong looked at the money in his hand. "You ... gave it to me just like that?"

Mu Jingzhe casually replied, “Of course. That's your money anyway.”

Treating Shao Zhong was a special situation. After doing that, he did not want to use the money anymore. Therefore, he naturally had to give it to Shao Dong.

He believed that Shao Dong would take good care of him. Leaving them some money will make them feel calmer. If he had to leave in the future, they would not be left empty-handed and forced to take out the trash.

Exactly it. In the novel, Shao Dong wanted to take care of Shao Bei's ears after being damaged by a fever and Zhao Lan refused to give him money. As a result, he had to pick up trash.

People only knew that Shao Dong was a great person in business, but no one knew that he used to be a poor man who got his first gold bucket by picking up trash.

Shao Dong held onto the money, not knowing what to say for a moment. He hesitated for a moment before saving it and thanking her.

"Together." Mu Jingzhe thought for a moment and emphasized again, “Shao Dong, you must remember that you cannot steal. Someone who stole a needle when he was young stole gold when he grew up. If someone continues to steal, he will become more evil and will eventually be able to commit all sorts of atrocities.”

Shao Dong: “Oke.”

Mu Jingzhe hurriedly went cooking. As he started to feel thirsty, a bowl of water suddenly appeared in front of him.

He looked up and saw Shao Nan.

Shao Nan smiled. "Here, get some water."

Mu Jingzhe was flattered. "Thank you."

On the way back, Mu Jingzhe had pointed at Shao Zhong and told him about everything he saw. His mouth never stopped moving, so he was so thirsty that he seemed to be unable to drink enough to quench his thirst.

Mu Jingzhe gulped down a bowl of water at once.

Shao Nan took the bowl and asked a few questions about Shao Zhong's treatment.

Shao Nan and Shao Bei were male-female twins, so her facial features were very beautiful, and she could be considered either male or female.

He was the most academically brilliant among the five brothers and was the great boss of future scientific research. He looked like a nerd on the surface, but in reality, he was cunning inside.

It is he who will later make a colorless, odorless, slow-acting poison that cannot be detected. He would take revenge for his little sister, but in the end, no one would suspect him.

Mu Jingzhe swallowed the thought. Is there a ... poison that is colorless, odorless, and slow-acting in that bowl of water?

Is this going to be the way he met his death?

No, of course not… ?Mu Jingzhe shook his head.? I haven't done anything bad lately.

Besides, Shao Nan was still a child. He could not possibly make such a poison. He doesn't have to scare himself.

Shao Nan walked out of the kitchen and saw Shao Bei looking at her in confusion. "Third Brother, why did you bring him water?"

Shao Dong and Shao Xi looked at him.

Shao Nan smiled. “He's been cooking for us for the past few days, making clothes, and taking Shao Zhong to the doctor. It's only natural that we get him a bowl of water. If he keeps this up, I'll pour water for him and even smile at him every day.”

Isn't that a pretty good deal?

Shao Bei tilted his head. "That's right. I will pour water for him in the future as well. ”

Shao Nan laughed and patted his head. "unneeded. Third Brother can do it. ”

It would be great if this continued.

*******

“We go,” Shao Qiyang told Mu Jingzhe and Shao Bei before he left with the four boys.

Every year before spring ploughing, according to the customs of the Great Eastern Village, there will be prayers invoking blessings and good weather. That day, classes were suspended, but only men were allowed to attend prayers. Women are not allowed to attend.

Little Bei was a little unhappy. Mu Jingzhe gestured for her to leave. "Come here, I'll tie your hair for you."

Mu Jingzhe did not care about this tradition and was fine with not participating, but Little Bei thought.

He changed Little Bei's hairpin.

Only then did Little Bei's mood brighten.

Over the past few days, Mu Jingzhe kept his promise and tied his hair in a different style every day. The little girl no longer liked him so much.

Mu Jingzhe had just gone to the county town yesterday to deliver the goods and receive another order.

It seems like the hair decoration business is worth it. Although it does not carry a large amount of money, it will take care of some living expenses. However, Mu Jingzhe could not continue to be fixated on this small business.

After yesterday's trip, he found a new business opportunity.

He had decided to ask the villagers what kind of mountain stuff they had. There are several walnut trees in the Great Eastern Village and around it. It was not a thick-skinned walnut, but it was big and plump and it tasted good.

All these walnuts can be sold.

Mu Jingzhe wanted to go to ask, but Little Bei was busy playing with the toys he had made for her.

“Be nice and stay home. Don't run.”

"Good."

Little Bei agreed easily, but when Mu Jingzhe returned, he was not home.

"Where did he run away again?"

Mu Jingzhe originally thought that Little Bei went somewhere to play or secretly went to see the blessing ceremony.

It's exactly like Little Bei. The more he was forbidden to do something, the more he wanted to do it.

She doesn't like to be treated differently because she's a girl, nor does she like to be underestimated. In the exam, he should get first place and do better than all the boys.

Unexpectedly, when Shao Qiyang brought the children back, Shao Bei did not come with them.

"Didn't Little Bei come looking for you?"

"No. He came to look for us?”

The current Shao Qiyang had complicated feelings for Mu Jingzhe. He has really changed. When he comes back occasionally, he is polite but far around. It was as if he had imagined him trying to approach her before.

When she saw that her house was getting clean and tidy, she took good care of her five children, and this became more and more like home, his plan to send Mu Jingzhe back to his parents' house was repeatedly delayed.

"I thought he went looking for you."

Mu Jingzhe did not notice the complicated look in Shao Qiyang's eyes and frowned. “Maybe he went looking for a friend. I'll go look for him.”

Unexpectedly, he ended up looking for her until the sky turned dark.

Mu Jingzhe searched the entire village but was unable to find Little Bei.

Little Bei has disappeared.

Mu Jingzhe went next door to ask Zhao Lan and the others about him.

"Mom, have you seen Little Bei?"

Zhao Lan and the others had just finished eating and were sitting around and chatting. They had long heard Mu Jingzhe and the others were looking for Little Bei. They raised their eyelids after hearing the question.

"No."

“Then when was the last time you saw it?”

"This morning?" Zhao Lan looked at Mu Jingzhe with a dark look. “Why can't you even take good care of a child? How do you take care of them? ”

Mu Jingzhe, who had no time to argue with her, simply turned around and left.

However, Zhao Lan did not stop. She said in a strange tone, “ Stepmother is still a stepmother. Look, he revealed his true colors in just a few days. Maybe he beat up Little Bei and hid it somewhere.”

Shao Nan, who was right behind Mu Jingzhe, stopped.
