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

Chapter 13: Borrowing a Car

Zhao Lan did not think he was wrong at all.

Mu Jingzhe had taken his money before, yet he could not take it back. The thought of it made him grit his teeth in anger. Even in her dreams, she wanted to take back the money from Mu Jingzhe.

However, Mu Jingzhe was a smart person. He locked the door at all times and used force. Zhao Lan was afraid of him and did not dare to move.

He also increasingly regarded Shao Dong and his brothers as landscape destroyers, with Shao Bei being the person he disliked the most.

In the end, she coincidentally heard from her eldest daughter-in-law that someone from somewhere else wanted to adopt a child. Specifically, they were looking for a little girl.

He might not be able to give a grandchild, but he had no problem parting with the girl.

He had heard that the family was rich and was driving a car. If the adoption was successful, they would even give them some thank you gifts.

When Zhao Lan heard this, how could she refuse? Since he could deal with the girl and stop wasting money on her, as well as receive remuneration on top of that, he would naturally comply.

When Shao Bei was alone at home, Zhao Lan persuaded him to date her.

Shao Bei is smart, but he is still young and has no idea about the evil side of human nature. Zhao Lan was her grandmother, and she had taken care of them, so she was not vigilant.

The family had expelled Shao Bei, and Zhao Lan was satisfied with her gift of thanks.

However, he still cared about his dignity. He was not good at handing over Shao Qihai's daughter so quickly after her death, so he blamed Mu Jingzhe for not taking good care of the child.

It was normal for a stepmother like Mu Jingzhe to not do her best.

He also saw this as an opportunity to kick Mu Jingzhe back into his own home. Initially, she did not send him back to the mother's family because she did not want to take care of Shao Dong and his brothers. Now, he felt that he should send Mu Jingzhe away, as everything was out of control with Mu Jingzhe.

After he expelled Mu Jingzhe, Shao Qiyang's salary would be given to him again, and Shao Dong and the others would become his dependents.

Eating eggs? Wearing a new shirt? They could forget that, because it would be his money then.

He had a good plan, but he did not expect to be exposed by others in the end. Zhao Lan became even more insane.

“Qihai, did you see this from heaven? Look at your good wife. If you don't go this early, I won't do such a nasty thing. I just want to give Shao Bei a good life.

“Mu Jingzhe is nothing. Who does he think I am? How dare he hit me? I'm her mother-in-law. I'll divorce her. I don't want a daughter-in-law like her. From now on, the two of us cannot coexist in the Shao Family.”

Seeing the expressions of the villagers had eased up, Zhao Lan wanted to continue, but she saw Shao Nan's gaze behind the crowd.

The child was like a wolf that would pounce and devour him.

Zhao Lan's complaint got stuck in her throat. "Little boy, what kind of appearance is that?"

He took off his shoes and threw them at him.

Shao Dong pulled Shao Nan away. He glanced at Zhao Lan coldly, turned around, and left.

“What an ungrateful. You are a bunch of ungrateful people. How I raised you—”

Zhao Lan continued to scold Shao Nan. Shao Nan lowered her head as if she was talking to Shao Dong but was also talking to herself. "If Little Bei is not found, I will kill him... I'm gonna kill him."

His voice was not loud, and his tone was calm, as if he was telling something normal.

Shao Dong looked down. “Uncle will bring him back. Let's wait."

Shao Nan raised his head. "What if we can't find him?"

"No." Shao Dong shook his head. “If they don't find it, we'll find it ourselves. I will definitely find my sister.”

The five brothers must stay together.

******

Mu Jingzhe and Shao Qiyang quickly rushed to the county.

They were in such a hurry that they immediately broke into a sweat. Their legs don't seem to belong to them anymore. Their throats felt like they were burning.

They rushed to the bus stop without a break.

There are several shuttle buses parked at the bus stop, but they do not drive to the neighboring county town.

The driver they asked was an energetic young man. He looked at Mu Jingzhe curiously and asked, “What's wrong? Will you go to the neighboring area?”

“Yes, my son was taken to the county town, so I had to get him back. Can you travel there? We can order bus, or you can lend your bus to us.”

The young man immediately shook his head. “No, all our buses have fixed schedules and routes. The other bus did not go there. It is even more impossible to borrow a bus. This is not our private bus. They are public bus.”

There is no point in asking other drivers, as they will all give the same answer.

"What should we do?" Shao Qiyang wiped his sweat. “Now it's morning. They have a car, so we can't catch up.”

Zhao Lan had said that the family would leave this morning.

“What can we do.. Let's find a car. We have to catch up and find them, no matter what.”

Mu Jingzhe gritted his teeth. He misses his shabby car and the modern world.

There are surveillance cameras in the modern world and cars everywhere. One can call a taxi or a fast car when desired, unlike here, where there are not many cars in the county town. Other than bicycles and rickshaws, there were not even motorcycles.

“No, I'll go to the post office to borrow a bike.” Shao Qiyang had no other choice.

“Bicycle will be too slow. I don't know what time we'll get there with that. ”

Mu Jingzhe shook his head. It would be fine if Little Bei was adopted normally, but he was afraid that something suspicious was happening. He was afraid that after the adoption, Little Bei would be sent somewhere or something bad would happen to him, causing irreparable damage.

With every passing minute, Little Bei might face a dangerous situation. They are not able to take risks.

“Shao Qiyang, do you know which family in the county owns the car? Or which family has a motorcycle?”

Shao Qiyang frowned. “Why did you ask?”

“We have to think of something. If you know, let me know now. ”

"I don't have an idea."

Mu Jingzhe closed his eyes. He even wanted to go to the police station.

He did not go at once because, in this day and age, it is not uncommon for families with many children who are unable to raise them well to send them away. Zhao Lan was the biological grandmother of the child, and she was not her biological mother. If he goes to the police, it is uncertain if it will be useful. It will also delay them.

Suddenly, as unacceptable ideas like kidnapping and intimidation flashed through his mind, Mu Jingzhe saw a jeep coming from not far away.

"Car."

Mu Jingzhe's eyes sparkled as he ran. Coincidentally, the jeep stopped.

Someone he didn't expect would come out—Tang Moling.

Mu Jingzhe stopped in his tracks.

Seeing others might be fine, but Tang Moling, the male protagonist of the original novel, who had taken revenge on him, would most likely punish him when he saw her. The probability of him lending his car to her is zero or a negative number.

But ... Mu Jingzhe continued walking forward because he did not have a better alternative.

“Tang Moling.. Hello, I am Mu Jingzhe. Do you remember me? I'm Mu's cousin Xue.”

Tang Moling looked at Mu Jingzhe.

As soon as he did, he felt an inexplicable chill deep down in his heart. His hand, which had just recovered, was also a little sore.

Tang Moling was frustrated by this thought. He had not even taught her a lesson for what had happened before, yet she still dared to approach him.

He narrowed his eyes and asked in an indifferent tone, "What?"

“This is the problem. My little Bei was taken away by someone. We have to get him back soon. Can we borrow your car?”

“Borrow my car?” Tang Moling stuffed his hand into his pocket as he leaned against the car. He looked at Mu Jingzhe. "You?"

Mu Jingzhe: "..."

Very kind. He is a typical male protagonist.
