TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS
Chapter 177 - Brother, I Will Treat Sister-in-law Well
Shao Qiyang, who was sulking, was confused by Mu Jingzhe's words. "What's wrong?"
"There's nothing. I just wanted to ask you what you think of him. His face looks happy and lucky. I think he quite fits you ... "
Shao Qiyang unwillingly interrupted Mu Jingzhe. "I said I don't want to get married."
"Why?" Mu Jingzhe became anxious. “The young woman seems to be good... Or have you not forgotten Mu Xue?”
Mu Jingzhe sighed and lowered his voice before he asked her, "Do you still like Mu Xue?"
He had felt conflicted about this before. Now, it seemed like he had to think of a way to set it up.
Shao Qiyang felt extremely helpless. “No. I said before that I don't think about him anymore. Don't let your mind go wild.”
"Thul? Then why don't you want to consider another girl?”
Shao Qiyang looked at Mu Jingzhe and was about to say 'because of you' when Xiao Wu ran through the door with persimmon in his hand.
"Mom, this persimmon is for you."
"Where did this persimmon come from?" Mu Jingzhe quickly caught Xiao Wu.
“Sister Li Fang gave it to me. Mom, you like persimmon. I'll give it to you.”
Once the persimmons are picked, they can be wrapped and stored for eating in winter. Although one does not look elegant eating persimmon, they are really sweet, icy cold, and refreshing. The one Mu Jingzhe had bought in modern times looked good, but it felt much different from the persimmon of today.
Mu Jingzhe was very surprised when he had tried it before and almost ate too much. Hence, the children knew that Mu Jingzhe liked persimmon.
Before the New Year, Shao Dong had planted two persimmon trees in front of the house. Every time someone gave them persimmon, the children would be reluctant to eat it and would bring it back to be eaten by Mu Jingzhe.
Although he was very touched, he was also very embarrassed. “Xiao Wu, you ate it. Mommy has been eating persimmon in the last few days. You can eat it yourself in the future. ”
"Thank you?" Xiao Wu asked, subconsciously swallowing his saliva.
“Mm, I didn't eat it. Xiao Wu, please eat. You know that one should not eat too much. Mom won't eat it today.” The persimmon was delicious. The kids actually love it, but they keep wanting it to eat it.
Mu Jingzhe stroked Xiao Wu's head. “Quick and eat. Remember not to eat the skin.”
"okay." Xiao Wu obediently came out. "I'll eat with my sister."
The moment Xiao Wu arrived, Shao Qiyang's impulse came to a halt. Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Qiyang's expression and tried to persuade him. The general meaning was that if he really liked Mu Xue, he could try his best to win her heart. Otherwise, he could just let go and look for someone else.
Shao Qiyang watched as Mu Jingzhe persuaded him in a clear and logical manner. Anyone who does not know may think that he is very impressive and knowledgeable about relationships, but in reality, he knows nothing about relationships!
Shao Qiyang could not help but curse in his heart. One could imagine how angry he was. Previously, he would have let his imagination run wild because of Mu Jingzhe, but after a year together, he could read it completely.
Mu Jingzhe might sound like he knew a lot, but he had never been in a relationship and knew nothing about them. In fact, he could be considered to be completely ignorant in this aspect.
Otherwise, he would not have been aware of the fact that he had brought a torch for her. So many people knew, and he was the only one who felt nothing, as if it was something completely impossible.
Shao Qiyang had no idea what Mu Jingzhe was going through before he moved, but he actually felt the disastrous effects of the experience.
He even made fun of the man in the village for being straight[1], but Shao Qiyang felt that he had no right to criticize the straight man in the village. After all, no matter how one looked at it, she was also a straight woman.
He even dared to say that straight men were the most frightening, unlike straight women like him.
As Shao Qiyang listened to Mu Jingzhe mutter, he retorted in his heart everything Mu Jingzhe said. Seeing that his food would be ready, he went to pick up the incense. As he walked out of the kitchen, he passed through Mu Jingzhe's door and saw the children rolling around on his bed. He subconsciously looked at the male celebrity poster taped to Mu Jingzhe's room.
There were also posters in the rooms of other young women in the village, but none of them had pasted posters on their walls as much as Mu Jingzhe, who claimed that as long as someone was handsome, it was not, she could be her husband.
Shao Qiyang felt that sometimes Mu Jingzhe acted and spoke strangely, but he could accept her strangeness and follow her thought path.
However, didn't she say that as long as a man was handsome, she could be her husband? Then why couldn't she consider her husband as well? Shao Qiyang was not proud, but his face was really not bad. He will attract people wherever he goes. Everyone said that he was not inferior to male celebrities.
Male celebrities are such a distant existence. Given how close he was, he might as well consider it. However, this had never occurred to Mu Jingzhe. Could it be because he wasn't handsome enough? Should she dress up a little?
Shao Qiyang, who was supposed to go pick up the incense, turned around and returned to his room. She tidied her hair in front of the window, using it as a mirror. He then looked at his shoes, wanting to switch to another one. In the end, she saw the leather shoes that Shao Qihai had given her.
Shao Qiyang's mood instantly deteriorated.
He quietly went to pick up incense and paper money. Shao Qiyang prepared the items needed for ancestor worship and pulled the children to kowtow to Shao Qihai. He even brought delicious food as an offering for his older brother.
“You kids didn't prostrate this morning. Now, bow down to your father and let him bless you from heaven.”
Five children: “...”
After a moment of silence, the children did not retaliate and kowtowed in front of their mother's memorial tablet, which was next to their father's tablet.
After Shao Dong and the others left, Shao Qiyang looked at his brother's tablet memorial and finally made up his mind. “Sister, I will treat Sister-in-law well. Don't worry,” said.
Ji Buwang's persistence and Tang Moling's unease made Shao Qiyang feel a crisis. He really could not imagine what his life would be like after Mu Jingzhe left the Shao Family and married Ji Buwang or another man.
Rather than despair here and do nothing, it would be better to take a risk.
Even if he failed, even if Mu Jingzhe feared him in the future, he would still have to bet.
Coincidentally, that was what Mu Jingzhe had suggested for him to do as well. He listened to his advice and tried his best to fight. If it doesn't work, he'll talk about it later.
Mu Jingzhe never thought that his words would really work. However, the way they worked was completely different from what he expected.
Shao Qiyang stared at Shao Qihai's name. "Sister, you'll support me too, right?"
After saying that, Shao Qiyang could not help but laugh bitterly. “No, that's not true. I know that you might not be happy if you see this from Heaven, but compared to an outsider, you should be more supportive of me, right? Please bless me from heaven and let me succeed. ”
In a neighboring town, on the way back from escorting the suspect, Shao Qihai, who sat in the car and returned with them to cooperate in the investigation, sneezed twice.
Jiang Feng immediately said, "Brother Hai, someone must have missed you. Sister-in-law and the others must miss you.”
Shao Qihai: "No ..." It would be strange if Mu Jingzhe missed him. Shao Qihai himself did not even believe it. Kids are more likely to miss him.
Jiang Feng replied, “You sneezed. This is proof. Sneezing once means someone scolding you, and sneezing twice means someone misses you. Don't you know that?”
"I don't" said Shao Qihai. “According to the version I heard, when you sneeze once, it means someone is thinking about you. When you sneeze twice, someone scolds you.”
“Eh, doesn't one sneeze mean to berate and two mean lost?”
"One sneeze means someone misses you, and twice means someone scolds you."
Shao Qihai replied, frowning as he looked out the window. For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
[1] In this case, a straight man/woman refers to someone who is solid in terms of relationships
