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

Chapter 219: Escaping Death

Mu Jingzhe could not imagine this cold scene, so he shook his head and put the thought away. He found Little Bei and the others and continued watching the movie.

Elsewhere, Shao Qihai, who ran home in a sorry state, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Mu Jingzhe not catching up with him. He felt like he had just escaped death.

He's almost exposed. He had been scared out of his wits by now.

Shao Qihai sighed and washed his face. However, his eyes were still swollen. He touched her swollen eyes and accidentally hiccupped, hitting her head in frustration.

“I know I shouldn't have gone there.”

Shao Qihai had never watched a television drama or movie. In front of outsiders, she claims that she doesn't like them, but in fact, she's afraid to see people crying while watching television or movies. As soon as they cry, she will cry with them.

He hadn't seen Little Bei yet, but it sounded like a very touching movie. In short, it contained many crying scenes.

He could not even bear it if ordinary people were to cry. If he saw Little Bei cry, he would probably cry to death with him.

Therefore, Shao Qihai did not dare to go with them. Otherwise, if he were to cry in front of the men, women, and children of the Great Eastern Village, as well as in front of the other villagers, he would be finished. Who knows what those people will think of him.

Shao Qihai did not dare. When he saw Little Bei's disappointed expression, he felt bad but still endured.

However, he could not force himself to not watch it at all. It was Little Bei's first film, and has even won an award. In the end, after they left, he quietly followed them. He did not dare to watch the movie in public, so he hid to watch it.

Since he was too far away to see clearly, Shao Qihai had used a pair of binoculars. He had applied to bring the binoculars back after the soldiers threw them away.

Although they were a little shabby, they were better than the ones outside. One could see clearly through these binoculars. Due to the loud volume, he could watch movies well even from a distance.

Shao Qihai was very excited to watch it. He continued to praise Little Bei in his heart, but he could not help but cry.

Unexpectedly, as she cried uncontrollably, Mu Jingzhe had found her. She did not even dare to imagine Mu Jingzhe expression if she saw him like this.

Shao Qihai ran away in fear. Because he was so anxious, he even scratched his ankle.

He lowered his head to look at his ankles. The injuries were small and not serious, but Shao Qihai also realized that he was missing binoculars while he was in a hurry.

"Please don't let Jingzhe take it." If he's exposed, he'll be out.

Shao Qihai hesitated, unsure if he should take the risk and went looking for them. Just as he was about to leave the house, he saw Shao Qiyang return.

Lately, Shao Qiyang left early and came home late, so he rarely saw Shao Qihai. Ever since Shao Qihai learned of his intentions, the two had never met in person. When he saw Shao Qiyang return, he greeted him with conflicting thoughts.

"You're back."

“Mm.” Shao Qiyang glanced at Shao Qihai. "What's wrong with your eyes?"

“Ah, I'm fine. I accidentally applied chili peppers to my eyes and made it sore.” Shao Qihai forgot that the swelling in his eyes had not subsided yet and hurriedly made an excuse. "Have you eaten? I've saved you food.”

Shao Qihai originally wanted to talk to Shao Qiyang, but now that his eyes were red, he might have to put it off.

Shao Qiyang looked at Shao Qihai's back and was silent for a moment. "Where are Jingzhe and the kids?"

“They went to the movies. Little Bei film is playing in the village.” It was only then that Shao Qihai realized that Shao Qiyang had never called his second brother-in-law. He always called her Jingzhe. There were signs all along.

Shao Qiyang nodded in understanding. Then, he looked at Shao Qihai with disappointment in his eyes. “Then why don't you go?”

Shao Qiyang sneered softly. "Even if not, it was the first movie starring Little Bei. He'll probably be very disappointed."

Even Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng had thought about the screening of the Little Bei movie to make him happy. In the end, his father refused to watch it because he did not like the movie. How ironic. He didn't even leave even though the film was screened almost right on their doorstep.

Shao Qihai froze, also knowing that he was doing this wrong. “I'll go and see it later. I'm just not going to watch it for now.”

"As far as you." Shao Qiyang was even more disappointed in Shao Qihai. He could not be bothered to continue talking to her, so he turned to look for Mu Jingzhe and the five children.

The film was over, but Little Bei was surrounded by an excited audience and could not leave for a while.

Even after the movie was over, everyone was crying. When they saw Little Bei again, they were still immersed in the film, and someone even rolled up his sleeves, wanting to settle the matter with Zhao Lan. “Where is this wicked old woman? Didn't he show up before? Let's go and hit him. Let's beat him to death.”

Zhao Lan had just been hit by a stone. If this fellow were to leave, he might actually be beaten up again. Little Bei did not expect that after such a long time, someone would finally defend him.

He was quite happy in his heart, but he was reasonable enough to stop everyone from acting rashly. He repeatedly told everyone that everything in the film was fake and that it was not true. He has a mother and brother who treat him very well.

Although he said that, everyone in the Great Eastern Village was there. It was a fact that this was only a show in a movie, but also a fact that Zhao Lan was not a good person. Everyone could not help but be reminded of what Eldest Brother Zhao, Zhao Lan, and the others had done to the children.

Therefore, Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xi, who had mingled with the crowd and cried with everyone, once again entered everyone's line of sight.

Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xi, who were originally very happy to watch the movie and even secretly admired Little Bei and wanted to say a few words to him, were very happy, looking at everyone's gaze and running away while crying.

After what Little Bei said, the crowd gave up on the idea of beating up Zhao Lan. Then, someone said that it would be great if they could take a picture with him. Since this was the first time he had seen Little Bei's movie in the village, Mu Jingzhe brought his camera. Therefore, they end up taking group photos that will someday be valuable.

Although there was no signature, everyone took photos together.

One by one the villages took pictures with him, gathering around Little Bei. Later on, they even put money into Mu Jingzhe's hands, insisting that he buy a copy for them when he developed the photo.

Due to this fan meeting, they were delayed for a while and did not return home.

After Shao Qiyang came and helped the five children and Mu Jingzhe take photos, they walked home amidst everyone's enthusiastic urge to stay.

On the way home, Shao Dong noticed the binoculars that Mu Jingzhe hung in front of his chest to free his hand to take a photo. “Bu, where did you get these binoculars?”

“I picked them up. What's wrong?"

“This binoculars look familiar. I think I've seen them before. ”

"Thul? Who are they?” If only he could find that person and return the binoculars. Most importantly, he had to persuade her not to take it too seriously.

Shao Dong's expression was strange for a moment. “I must have seen wrong. They shouldn't belong to him.” He seemed to have seen these binoculars among Shao Qihai's belongings before.

Mu Jingzhe understood what Shao Dong meant. "You mean this belongs to your father?"

He realized that the children were no longer willing to call Shao Qihai 'Father'. They did not want to call Shao Qihai 'Dad' in front of him, nor did they want to call him 'Dad' in person. They would replace the word 'Father' with 'he', but he did not feel that this was the place to talk to them about this.

"I think I've seen them before, but I don't think so."

“I don't think so either. They may belong to someone else.”

As they spoke, they returned home and happened to meet Shao Qihai, who was about to leave the house.. She originally planned to go back looking for binoculars, but when she raised her head, she saw the binoculars hanging over Mu Jingzhe's chest.
