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

Chapter 154 - Completing the Score

Old Madam Mu did not expect Mu Jingzhe to suddenly light up, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. "Mu Jingzhe, I'm your grandmother!"

"Grandmother? When did you ever consider me to be your grandson? How can a grandmother say bad things about her grandson?”

Mu Jingzhe sneered. He did not let go of Old Madam Mu as he turned to face her. Old Madam Mu still wanted to attack but was stopped by him in an instant. “Be careful if you don't want your arm broken. Your old bones are much more fragile than firewood. If you don't want your bones to be completely crushed, shut up. ”

Old Madam Mu's heart pounded as she looked at Mu Jingzhe. He felt that Mu Jingzhe was truly capable of doing that.

There was a hint of fear in his eyes as he finally calmed down from his angry state.

“Are you calm? Then let's settle the score now. ” Since Mu Jingzhe moved there, he had never attacked anyone unless he was attacked first. He had always kept a respectful distance from the old man, especially people like Old Madam Mu.

In this day and age, things are different from modern times. Even in modern times, hitting the old man is not frowned upon, but Old Madam Mu is too biased. Mu Jingzhe had not intended to do anything to her. Anyway, it was all in the past. He just wants to live in harmony.

However, Old Madam Mu seemed to have misunderstood her attitude and mistakenly thought that she was easily bullied.

“Then, I never tried to be calculative to deal with your favoritism. I just thought that it was all in the past, but judging from what you're saying now, it looks like we should review it again. In that case, since everyone is here, let's get the score done right.”

Mu Jingzhe pressed Old Madam Mu, not letting her move. He then said, "First, before my father's share of the family's assets was carved out, the Mu Family never divided the family's assets, right?"

Old Madam Mu rolled her eyes and thought, 'Isn't that clear?'

“Nobody divides family property when parents are still around. I'm not dead.”

“Alright, since the family assets are not shared, then we should work together and eat together. Forget the others. Mu Xue and I are both grandchildren of the Mu Family, so we should have the same status. In reality, Mu Xue and I lived very different lives.

“While he eats well, I have to put up with your attitude every time I eat. If I take some leftovers from him, you'll say that I took his food. But if you ask your conscience, do I really snatch anything from it? My parents worked to put some of that food on the table. Isn't the money they earn by working enough to support a child like me?

“Don't tell me that Mu Xue enjoys such treatment because Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt are hardworking and capable. That's not the problem. Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt were exactly the same. They weren't much better than my parents, so Mu Xue and I were supposed to be on par.

“In reality, because you are biased and unreasonable, Mu Xue's status was different from when she was born. You only care about him, and everything is his. But why does everything have to be his?”

Mu Jingzhe remembered. “Let me remember the most ridiculous and absurd events. Oh, right, rabbit. My father used to catch rabbits and say it was so that everyone could eat meat, even though it was obviously because he felt sorry for me and my younger brother. But every time he caught a rabbit, you said it was for Mu Xue and gave it to him.

“My mom secretly fed me two pieces, and you said I stole from Mu Xue. What joke. Didn't my father catch a rabbit? When did it become hers?”

Mu Jingzhe continued. “The money was earned by everyone, and you just saved it for the family. However, the items you bought with this money all belonged to Mu Xue. Mu Xue had been drinking malt milk ever since she was young and had a good foundation. My mother did not eat well and had a low milk supply. He begged you to give me some, but you refused, saying that it was all for Mu Xue.

“My mother's heart ached for me, so she stole some to feed me and you chased her to beat her. He was still in confinement, yet he was chased all over the village and forced into hiding. He was scolded by you for over ten years. In the end, Mu Xue grew up with malt milk and ate white rice and noodles that you made especially for her. As for me, I grew up drinking rice soup. Even so, my mother had to be beaten up instead. To be honest, I feel amazing that I made it to adulthood. How can I not die of hunger? Am I right?

“When we got bigger, Mu Xue had walnut and canned fruit cakes to eat. In fact, he could picky pick the fruit he ate. But when I drink the rest of the soup from the fruit cans that Mu Xue could not spend, you will say that I took Mu Xue's food. Ask yourself honestly, did I really snatch it? ”

When the villagers heard this, they felt very uncomfortable. In the past, they only knew that Li Zhaodi and Mu Jingzhe were terrible people, while Mu Xue was as white as snow and cute. But if this snow-white cuteness was built on bias, everything now looked ugly and strange.

Old Madam Mu's face alternated between green and white. He ignored Mu Jingzhe's words and said, “Don't make yourself sound so innocent. Did you really not take it? Have you forgotten how many clothes and shoes you stole from Xiao Xue ?! ”

“I did not forget. We have to take things slowly. Now that we're done talking about food, let's talk about clothes. I did snatch Mu Xue's clothes and shoes, but why did I do it? Don't you know?”

Mu Jingzhe sneered. “Because I haven't worn a new set of clothes since I was young! Even my diaper was only made by Mu Xue. You said a little girl doesn't need to wear a new one and Mu Xue's old one is good enough for me. That's why you never bought me a new one.

“Yes, most people in the village are like this. Once the older children are done wearing a piece of clothing, it will be passed down to the younger children. But I've never seen anyone like you. You don't allow me to buy a new one, and you can't even bear to give me an old one. You curse every day as if you were sharing alms. Mu Xue couldn't even wear it anymore, but you refused to give it to me. Why is it a heinous crime for me to seize them?

“At Lunar New Year, all children in the village, old and young, will wear new clothes. I wasn't. My mother tried her best to save money to buy me a new set and was scolded so badly by you that she couldn't even lift her head. You even snatched a new dress for Mu Xue. My mother and I were so angry that we took two pieces of Mu Xue's old clothes, and you called it stealing.

“I am not allowed to buy new clothes, and when new clothes are bought for me, I cannot wear them. You refuse to let me have his old clothes too. Are you expecting me to be naked?

"After all was said and done, what you said about me snatching away Mu Xue's belongings was actually me reclaiming the part that should have been mine but was instead given to Mu Xue."

Mu Jingzhe was getting out of control. “I just don't understand. We are both grandchildren of the Mu Family, so why was I born to be a cheap poor person while he was born to live like a rich and pampered youngster? Why?"

As he asked this, Mu Jingzhe cried uncontrollably and a strange emotion surfaced in his heart. He felt aggrieved and relieved. This was the part that he felt the most angry and confused. He desperately needed an answer.

For the first time, Mu Jingzhe realized that perhaps the original owner of the body had yet to fully leave. He had been waiting for an answer because he could not figure it out.

This was the first time Mu Jingzhe had empathized with the original owner of the body. This was the first time he had experienced her grievances and hatred.

The original owner of the body had only imitated Mu Xue so crazily in the past to try to get love. Although it was only a little, it would be nice if Old Madam Mu and the villagers treated her 1/10 as well as they treated Mu Xue.

However, in the end, he was only treated with ridicule and, worse still, disgust.
