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

Chapter 269: The Reputation of Someone Who Killed His Mother

Feeling that his life was flowing away and his body was getting colder, Zhao Lan was furious.

“Shao Qihai, don't think that you'll be okay after I die. Do you think you are not responsible for Bai Lu's death at all?”

“Of course I know I'm responsible. I was the culprit too.”

He was the culprit and the murderer that caused Bai Lu's death. He deserved to die because it made him suffer so much pain.

Therefore, he waited to see if Zhao Lan would die. He would lock Zhao Lan as long as Bai Lu suffered while Zhao Lan did not move. He would do nothing but lock it up and let it go. If Zhao Lan didn't make it through and died, she deserved it. If he survives, it means he's lucky.

If he survives, he won't do anything. If he died, then he would accept it as well.

Shao Qihai had thought about it carefully. Seeing that Shao Qihai was still unmoved, Zhao Lan felt herself getting weaker and colder, and the hatred and anger in her heart could no longer be controlled.

“Shao Qihai, if you dare to treat me like this, I won't let you go. I won't let you go even if I become a ghost.”

Shao Qihai laughed when he heard that. "If the words 'I won't let go of you even if I become a ghost' succeed, Bai Lu will be the first to not let go of you."

Everyone heard Shao Qihai and Zhao Lan's words clearly. They all feel terrible. Was Shao Qihai wrong about this? No. gabe. Zhao Lan had dragged Bai Lu to his death.

But how can this continue…?

Seeing that no one could persuade Shao Qihai and hearing Zhao Lan's harsh words grew weaker, the village chief felt that this could not continue. Seeing the bloodstains on the ground, he finally made up his mind.

“Shao Qihai, we can't just see someone die. If you don't give up, we can only do it by force. You will also get in trouble if you do this..”.

“Whatever the consequences, I will bear it myself. If you insist on forcibly barging in, I won't be polite either. ”

Shao Qihai's eyes were red. No one can persuade him anymore.

As everyone hesitated, unsure whether to make a move or not as they were no match for Shao Qihai, the village chief looked at Mu Jingzhe and the five children in the crowd.

Neither Mu Jingzhe nor Shao Dong had said anything about Shao Qihai's actions until now. They had stood in the middle of the crowd and were watching in silence.

Mu Jingzhe was extremely disappointed and scared. As a woman, Zhao Lan was truly ruthless. He only watched Bai Lu being tortured without a care. He did not even dare to imagine how desperate Bai Lu was back then.

Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell from the beginning. She had never been pregnant before, but every time she heard about it, she would be scared. Furthermore, Zhao Lan had gone overboard.

He deserves it. Falling to serve him right. He also felt that what Shao Qihai was doing was right. It was his wife, the wife who had given birth to four children for him.

If Shao Qihai knew and did nothing, even Mu Jingzhe would hate him, let alone others.

This was a grudge between Shao Qihai, Zhao Lan, and Bai Lu. Everything is their choice. Mu Jingzhe had no right to comment.

The five children also said nothing. Shao Dong had been confused about this for several years. He had dreamed of Bai Lu crying and begging for mercy many times in the middle of the night. This time, he even kowtowed in front of his tomb. This journey had made their hearts even more ill for Bai Lu.

Zhao Lan, her mother-in-law, had treated her like that, and she was also disliked by her parents at home. The Bai family only wanted to reap the benefits, and there were very few people whose hearts were truly aching for him. In the end, she died from complications during labor. What right do they have to speak?

The village head glanced at Mu Jingzhe and the others, and although he felt helpless, he walked towards them. “Jingzhe... Why don't you try to talk a little bit about him? If you do, Shao Qihai will listen. Letting him die like this is not the way to solve this.”

The village chief laughed bitterly and could not help but look at the children.

He wanted to say something, but when he saw the look in the eyes of the children and recalled how Zhao Lan treated the children earlier, he was at a loss for words. Zhao Lan had indirectly caused the death of their mother and even treated them badly. It would be good enough if they did not take revenge on him, but forgiveness was not on the table.

The village chief could not treat the five children like children. He put himself in their shoes and thought for a moment, finally saying nothing. He took a deep breath and turned to leave. He waved at the youths and asked them to go and do it.

“You are not my match. You will get hurt if you make physical contact with me. ” Shao Qihai spoke when he saw their actions.

“Although so, we can't just stand by and watch you do this. Qihai, your journey is still long.” The village chief waved his hand. "I have to take care of this for you."

Just as the two sides were about to fight, Little Bei suddenly said, "Dad."

He held the hands of Shao Nan and Mu Jingzhe. His heart was filled with unwillingness, but he still looked at Shao Qihai and said, "That's enough, Father."

They hoped Zhao Lan would die as well, but they couldn't really see her die.

He did hate Zhao Lan, but his heart ached for Shao Qihai. He could not bear the sin of killing his mother, just like them.

Although they had not killed Bai Lu with their own hands, Bai Lu had indeed died while giving birth to them. If they don't exist, he won't die. Shao Nan and Little Bei knew this feeling very well.

After he said this, tears streamed down Little Bei's face as he apologized to Bai Lu in his heart.

Shao Nan took a deep breath and pulled Mu Jingzhe. "Mom, persuade Dad."

Mu Jingzhe watched as Shao Nan looked at Little Bei before her gaze finally landed on Shao Dong and Shao Xi. Shao Dong nodded slightly. Shao Xi looked a little unconvinced and did not look at him, but she also did not say anything. Therefore, he let out a deep breath. "Good."

Shao Dong pulled Little Bei and hugged him. “Do not cry. I'll understand.”

Shao Qihai had persisted without hesitation, but when he heard Little Bei's words, he almost cried. As soon as he saw Mu Jingzhe walking, he turned his head and did not look at him.

He could not bear to see it, nor did he have the dignity to do so. “You... i..”.

He wanted to say something, but nothing came out. His mind was so complicated that he could not express it with words.

“That's more or less enough. I know you thought that if Zhao Lan died as well, you would pay Bai Lu and Zhao Lan's life with your own, but have you ever thought about what would happen to Little Dong and the others? Will you wash your hands of them? You just said that you won't leave them!”

Shao Qihai trembled when he heard Mu Jingzhe's words. "I…"

He and Mu Jingzhe had never been true husbands and wives. Mu Jingzhe was amazing and even planned to divorce her beforehand. That was why Shao Qihai knew that even if he died, Mu Jingzhe would not be affected at all. In fact, he could be happier. For example, he can be happy with Ji Buwang, which is interesting.

But there were also the five children.Although Mu Jingzhe would not ignore them. Shao Qihai looked at the five children with doubts and internal struggles in the depths of his eyes.

“Do not hem and haw. If this continues, you will not be okay. So did Little Dong and the others. In your dreams, you might not only hear Bai Lu's scream, but Zhao Lan's as well.”.

Those kids are very small. They have a long way to go in the future. Who knew what people would say about them and would he regret it?

Those who do not know will probably say that the five children not only forced their grandmother to die, but they also forced their father to perish. In the end, the five children still had to endure it. As ridiculous as it may sound, all of this will actually happen.
