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

Chapter 19: The Wedding Proposal

“Come, we're home. You will not be alone with them anymore. Everyone in the village will understand.”

After Mu Jingzhe finished warning them, seeing that Zhao Lan did not dare to say anything, he brought Shao Dong and the others home.

Shao Bei held onto Mu Jingzhe's hand and looked at the enraged Zhao Lan, then returned to Mu Jingzhe. The hatred and gloom in her beautiful eyes turned into surprise and admiration.

The other children also had complicated expressions on their faces.

Mu Jingzhe was neither tall nor strong. Compared to their father, Shao Qihai, he looked thin. Even when standing in front of Zhao Lan, Mu Jingzhe had no advantage in terms of size.

However, he had used his slender body to protect them.

At that moment, he made them feel safer than their father.

They deliberately avoided thinking about what Zhao Lan said about Mu Jingzhe's departure at any moment.

Mu Jingzhe did not even think about it and went home to prepare dinner.

After eating, Shao Dong took up the job of washing dishes despite not talking much.

Meanwhile, Mu Jingzhe bathed Shao Bei.

Then, it's time to go to sleep. However, Shao Nan was lazy and did not sleep. Shao Dong strangely let her go tonight.

"What's wrong? Going to the toilet?”

Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Nan's expression and guessed.

Shao Nan's face stiffened. "No."

“Then what happened to you?”? What's with that constipated expression?

Mu Jingzhe asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Don't be afraid.”

"No." Shao Nan pursed her lips. "I'm sorry."

Mu Jingzhe was stunned.

Seeing that he did not react, Shao Nan immediately said, “I am guilty of misunderstanding you last night. I'm sorry."

Mu Jingzhe reacted but stopped. “I received your apology this time, but I hope there will be no next time. It doesn't taste good to be mistreated.”

Shao Nan let out a sigh of relief. "I knew. I will not suspect anyone without proof in the future. ”

“Alright, sleep then.” Mu Jingzhe could not help but stroke his head.

Shao Nan's entire body stiffened. He wanted to dodge, but he held back. After taking a few steps, he was unwilling to just leave and turn around.

“Although I misunderstood you this time, I still don't trust you. I'll keep an eye on you.”

Mu Jingzhe nodded. "Sure, go ahead and do that."

After seeing that he did not look angry or guilty, Shao Nan went back to sleep quietly.

That night, Little Bei fell asleep hugging Mu Jingzhe's arm and gasped awake twice in the middle of the night.

Mu Jingzhe wanted him to take two days off from school, but Little Bei shook his head.

“No, I want to go back to school. I still have to be top of the class.”

Then, he explained, "I'm fine."

After Mu Jingzhe sent them to school, he spoke to Shao Zhong while making hair ornaments.

The hair ornament was selling well, but the market was too small, so sales were limited. Furthermore, if he really wanted to do this business, he could not constantly buy cloth. He had to buy some special materials to make hair ornaments.

This way, he will be able to expand the business and make a lot of money. Otherwise, he would only be able to do this on a small scale.

The problem was that the money he had earned earlier had been spent to find Little Bei.

Therefore, he had to think of another way to earn money.

Mu Jingzhe had been pondering over this ever since he came back yesterday.

Business with small capital. After thinking for a moment, he finally decided to eat.

During the day, Mu Jingzhe made steamed bread.

"How'd they? Do they feel good?”

Mu Jingzhe earnestly asked for the children's opinion.

"Lezat."

The children were busy eating and just talking briefly.

Judging from their reaction, the bread was really delicious.

However, Mu Jingzhe was worried and went to look for Li Zhaodi.

"Mom, how does it feel?"

Li Zhaodi continued to nod while eating. “They're delicious. Jingzhe, when did you learn how to make bread? You even made it very well. ”

“I learned after seeing others. Mom, do you think I can sell it in town?”

"Are you going to make it and sell it?" Li Zhaodi was not sure. "I don't know. Why did you suddenly think of making steamed buns for sale?”

“I've eaten steamed bread on the road before. I think they feel average. I can also make it.”

Mu Jingzhe had asked about this before. Many people in the village had some dry goods. Every family has dried mushrooms, so it will not be expensive to buy them.

Some people do not like mushroom bread, but if the bread is fragrant, people will love it very much.

There is also vegetable bread. He can grow vegetables at home so he doesn't have to buy them.

For pickled fillings of vegetables, pickled vegetables Li Zhaodi is very tasty.

Mu Jingzhe shared his thoughts. “Bu, I can't handle this alone. Do you want to sell bread with me? ”

"Will it work?" Li Zhaodi was not very confident. "You can try. I'll help you.”

Mu Jingzhe did not try to persuade him. He'll sell it first. If the sales were good, he would ask Li Zhaodi for help.

The reason why Li Zhaodi had chosen Mu Xue so much was because she was poor. If he had something to do and earn his own money, he would not have the energy to do such a job.

It only sells steamed buns, but when the plan is implemented, there will be a lot to be occupied with.

While Li Zhaodi and Mu Jingzhe were making preparations, Li Zhaodi was also trying to make bread.

The result is delicious. They were no worse than Mu Jingzhe's bread.

Actually, Li Zhaodi was good at cooking, but the Mu Family never let her cook because she secretly ate and hid her food.

Li Zhaodi also knew that she was humiliated and looked down upon, so she threw away her pride just like that.

However, after working with Mu Jingzhe for two days, being praised by Mu Jingzhe, and being praised by Shao Dong and the other children for his delicious cuisine, he gained confidence.

While Mu Jingzhe and Li Zhaodi were busy preparing for this business, there was not much commotion. However, the people next door could still feel it.

The smell of steamed bread could be smelled from next door.

Zhao Lan was so angry that she couldn't sleep.

In the past two days, the atmosphere in the oldest branch house was very bad. Instead, the old house was busy and prosperous day after day. From time to time, the sound of children's laughter could be heard.

Life on both sides seems to have been turned upside down.

Previously, the oldest branch house was always crowded, while the old house was cold and deserted.

The oldest branch could not accept this distinction. Their reputation is affected, and they are even threatened. Zhao Lan could not help but ask her eldest daughter-in-law to go out and complain, but it was in vain.

After all, the villagers were not stupid. They all know what's going on.

In the end, they could only say that Mu Jingzhe would not take care of the children for the rest of his life. “Mu Jingzhe has been a good person for now. Everyone praised her, but she had never raised a child before. How does she know that raising a child is not easy?”

"Speaking is cheap. That's why he's so free to do whatever he wants. If he swore that he would take care of them for the rest of his life, we wouldn't say anything about that. But do you think he'll do it? Who knows when he will wash their hands and get married when the prospect of a good marriage arises? When that happens, we'll take care of these kids again.”

As if what they were saying was a premonition, someone actually came to propose to the wedding.

He was interested in Mu Jingzhe.

Although Mu Jingzhe had not returned to the Mu Residence yet, the person who wanted to propose to him still went to the Mu Residence.

The identity of the man was shocking and made everyone stir.

Li Zhaodi quickly went to look for Mu Jingzhe.

Right now, Mu Jingzhe was delivering bread to Tang Moling outside the school.
