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

Chapter 361: Supporting Male Characters Become Male Leaders

It was rare for them to hold a reunion, but he had to go out. Shao Qihai was very helpless, but he had no choice.

Fortunately, the kids remembered it. Now, there is also a refrigerator, so the various flavors of prepared dumplings are stored in the refrigerator for him.

“This belongs to Dad. This is for Uncle.”

Other than Shao Qihai, they also remembered to save some for Shao Qiyang.

When Li Zhaodi heard the children mention Shao Qiyang, she whispered to Mu Jingzhe, "Jingzhe, are Shao Qiyang and Mu Xue going to get married?"

Before Mu Jingzhe could reply, he heard Li Zhaodi say, “It's been another year. After the New Year, they will be 27 years old.28 years according to the Chinese calendar. It doesn't make sense if they don't get married soon.”

In those days, everyone got married early, especially people in the countryside. Some people get married when they are 18 or 19 years old. If they can't get a marriage certificate yet, they'll have a banquet first. When they are old enough, they will make up for it and even enroll the children in their household by then.

There are many people who get married at the age of 21 or 22. It is considered abnormal if a person is not married at the age of 23 or 24. Other than those who were completely unable to get married, very few were 27 years old like Mu Xue and Shao Qiyang, who were unmarried.

Mu Jingzhe felt a headache coming when he heard him mention age. Indeed, a second later, Li Zhaodi nagged again about her 24-year-old age.

This year has been really busy. It felt like only a few moments had passed, yet another year had passed. Even though he had gained a lot, he still felt that time had passed too quickly.

The way Li Zhaodi nagged her about her age of 24, it seemed like 24 was a frightening number. He only felt a little better when Mu Xue's age was mentioned. “I'm sure your grandmother is very angry. I feel happy every time I think about how angry he is.”

Her biased mother-in-law had tortured her and Jingzhe too much. Now, Li Zhaodi was happy to see Old Madam Mu angry.

Mu Jingzhe was silent. Old Madam Mu really should be angry this year.

Shao Qiyang had changed from a supporting character to a male lead and he had not celebrated the New Year with them that year. Instead, he went to the Great Eastern Village.

Mu Jingzhe was not sure how Shao Qiyang and Mu Xue could be together, but Shao Qiyang told him after making a decision.

If he married Mu Xue, Mu Jingzhe and Mu Xue, who were cousins, would become brothers-in-law. Logically speaking, this will not be good. Fortunately, they did not live together, so it would not affect Mu Jingzhe much.

“Bu, don't be too harsh with your words in the future. Don't go too far or hate him so much that he'll die of anger. You are living well now, and she must be uncomfortable just by looking at you. If you continue to anger him and cause trouble, everyone will criticize you, "Mu Jingzhe advised Li Zhaodi.

"OKAY. Then tell me, are Shao Qiyang and Mu Xue together?” Li Zhaodi asked.

Mu Jingzhe was silent. "Mom, you really ... Don't let the kids hear you."

“Alright then, let me put it this way.. Will they both be items?”

“Why do you care?” Mu Jingzhe did not answer directly. He felt that he had to wait until Shao Qiyang succeeded before talking about it. He guessed that maybe this was the time for Shao Qiyang to take action.

Mu Jingzhe's guess was correct. Shao Qiyang had taken action and managed to anger Old Madam Mu. “You became big and you finally chose Shao Qiyang? No, I disagree!”

Shao Qiyang and Mu Xue exchanged glances. There was no surprise in their eyes.

“Grandma, don't immediately disagree. Do you want to keep hearing those horrible rumors? Can you bear to see people gossiping about me?”

Ever since Mu Xue and Shao Qiyang started interacting, some time had passed. During this period, both Shao Qiyang and Mu Xue had encountered many problems. They are just unmarried, but in the eyes of others, this is like a crime.

Mu Xue was a very arrogant person, but in the end, the man she had never taken seriously in the past actually hypocritically said that they could marry her now. They act as if they are doing charity. After he got to know more people in the county town, they insisted on introducing men to him. However, the man they introduced to her was all mediocre — they had a child from their first marriage or inappropriate. They even kept saying that he was old and such a man was considered qualified.

They are smart enough to plan to get their car and home. Those people wanted their entire family to stay in his house, and they even wanted Mu Xue to serve their family.

Mu Xue had heard enough. Shao Qiyang's situation was better than his, but there were also some fools who came to him and asked him for treatment, as if it would satisfy them.

After seeing how they each lived, he suddenly said, “Why don't we just gather around? That way, people won't keep gossiping about us.”

Mu Xue knew that Shao Qiyang liked Mu Jingzhe before. When Shao Qiyang found out that Shao Qihai had returned, Mu Xue actually regretted it. However, Shao Qiyang had now changed. After all, Mu Xue was still the girl that Shao Qiyang had liked before.

Not wanting to be tortured for another year, the two of them went straight back to Old Lady Mu and the others to announce this before the New Year so that they could get married right after the New Year.

Old Madam Mu was more anxious than anyone about Mu Xue's marriage. He scolded everyone who was mocking him, saying that Mu Xue would definitely find someone who was not inferior to Tang Moling and that he was born to be rich.

He continued to force Mu Xue to look for the rich, but in the end, Mu Xue brought back Shao Qiyang.

Shao Qiyang was considered a very promising man in the village now. There were many women who wanted to marry him but did not have the opportunity for it. Still, Shao Qiyang could not compare to Tang Moling. This was contrary to Old Madam Mu's original intentions.

He only wanted Mu Xue to find someone who was not inferior to Ji Buwang and ruthlessly prove the villagers wrong. Shao Qiyang did not meet that requirement.

Old Madam Mu would not agree to anything happening, but old man Mu Xue immediately gave their approval. They really could not bear to see Mu Xue remain unmarried.

“Qiyang is pretty good. Ever since Xiao Xue's engagement broke up, she had grown older and older. I no longer dare to ask for anything else. Isn't it nice that Qiyang wants to marry her?”

“What good is that? She was even engaged to Qihai in the past. This doesn't make any sense. It can't be!"

“It was years ago. Who remembers that? Mother, just agree. Forget the 'born for wealth' thing'. If this continued, Xiao Xue would remain alone for the rest of her life!”

It was rare for Mu Xue's parents to be so stubborn and cling to their decisions. Old Madam Mu was furious, but she could not persuade Mu Xue or her family. As a result, he was so angry that he fell ill.

“Grandma, don't be angry at New Year's. I know you're doing this for my own good, but I really need to get married. I no longer want to hear those dirty words, nor do I want to be underestimated by everyone. Compared to those people, Shao Qiyang was quite good. He's much better than them.”

The more Old Madam Mu listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. He stood up and asked, "Xiao Xue, do you like Shao Qiyang now?"

“I... Yes, I quite like it, but we can't let it know for now.” Mu Xue seduced with Old Madam Mu. “Grandma, trust me. We will have a good life. Shao Qiyang is actually not bad.”

Mu Xue did not know exactly when she fell in love with Shao Qiyang. Sometimes, he felt that Shao Qiyang was really annoying, especially the way he spoke. It made him want to hit her.

But unknowingly, he gradually occupied a place in his heart. At least, Shao Qiyang was real before him, just as he was real before him. He doesn't have to pretend too much and he can relax. Life like this is actually pretty good.

It beats with the matchmaker guy who is introduced to her, the guy who plans to get his hands on her at his house.
