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

Chapter 390: Defeat Him

Li Zhaodi naturally appreciated Mu Jingzhe. When she saw him, she asked as usual, "What do you want to eat this morning?"

"Everything's fine. Everything I made was delicious.” Although Mu Jingzhe replied like this, he still ordered a few dishes in a row. Li Zhaodi did not scold him and dragged him to buy some groceries before preparing food for him.

After eating, Mu Jingzhe stroked his stomach and slumped downwards. When her stomach no longer felt full, she washed the dishes before following Li Zhaodi to the bakery.

"Mom, has business been good recently?"

“It's okay. After hiring someone to help, your father and I could take turns working.”

“How about new workers? Did he also secretly eat his food?” Mu Jingzhe asked with concern. Previously, Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng had listened to Mu Jingzhe and hired a maid. He's quite a hard worker, but there's one bad thing about him... He secretly ate his food.

The bakery provided food, so it seemed that the worker was not forced to starve. Although he did not mind the food provided, they did not expect this fellow to be so insatiable. He even secretly ate the food sold in the bakery. One time, he almost got caught and even sold the bread he had bitten to a customer.

When the problem exploded, he defended himself by saying he did it out of instinctive fear because he had been starving in the past often. Every time he saw the food, he wanted to put it in his mouth. He promised to fix this bad habit in the future, but they still fired him and hired someone else.

“This one is quite hardworking and does not steal food. He only often brought his daughter here, but his daughter did not make a fuss. I think a child will not eat much, so I did not say anything.”

In the past, Li Zhaodi would never say something like this. However, when he saw the female daughter was skinny and small, he felt sorry for her. Therefore, he closed his eyes despite knowing that the woman's daughter was secretly going to eat the bread. There are days when bread does not sell out. He would only consider it collecting merit.

Mu Jingzhe praised Li Zhaodi when he heard that. “Bu, you are so kind. You did well."

Li Zhaodi felt a little arrogant and embarrassed after being praised. “For what praise me? I was not born evil. Since I have money, I am willing to help others.”

"I know. I always knew that you were a good person, Mom. I want to learn from you.” Mu Jingzhe persuaded Li Zhaodi until she beamed with happiness.

Everyone liked to listen to sweet words, and Li Zhaodi was no exception. Mu Jingzhe wanted her to be happy every day. The kids are also very good in front of it. Every time they came, they kept greeting their 'Grandmother' and praising her non-stop. Each of the five children could praise him from head to toe, making Li Zhaodi experience double the excitement.

As Li Zhaodi laughed, the two of them arrived at the bakery. Mu Jingzhe looked at the newly recruited Sister Ping. He was young and he did have a five or six year old with him who was very thin.

Mu Jingzhe greeted Sister Ping and helped her cut the meat. However, the moment he took the knife, Sister Ping took it. "I'm gonna do it. How can I let you do it? Little Boss, please sit on the side and rest. ”

After saying that, he started cutting the meat. Mu Jingzhe did not argue with him, but he realized that his elbow looked bruised. “What happened to your arm? And the corner of your eye..”.

"I didn't see where I went last night and I fell."

Mu Jingzhe felt that it was a bit strange but he did not ask anything else because Sister Ping did not seem to want to say anything. After a while, he came back.

“When the children come home from school, bring them home to eat,” Li Zhaodi reminded him. A person's heart is made of flesh. The children treated her as their biological grandmother, so she also treated the children as hers. He thought of making delicious food for them.

“Alright, I understand.”

Mu Jingzhe brought the five children to Li Zhaodi's place and happily ate again. After eating too much, he walked back. While he was near the bakery, he heard the cries of a child and some cries for help. Mu Jingzhe quickly left and asked the five children to be careful and not come closer.

As they got closer, they realized that Sister Ping was being beaten up by a man. Sister Ping even hugged her daughter and cried for help. There were many people around who wanted to persuade the man, but anyone who tried to do so would suffer. The man looked drunk and hit anyone who approached him.

"Surge. It's a family matter. It's none of your business if I hit my wife.”

"Don't hit that kid!" Sister Ping cried sadly, shouting for help.

Mu Jingzhe stepped forward and shouted, "Stop!"

When the drunkard heard Mu Jingzhe's voice, he raised his hand, ready to hit him. When Sister Ping saw that it was Mu Jingzhe, she became very nervous and immediately shouted, “Dad of my son, don't hit him! This is my boss's daughter!”

The man slowed down and stopped. He glanced at Mu Jingzhe and muttered something, then picked up the beer bottle beside him and staggered away. Looks like he just drank alcohol.

Mu Jingzhe frowned. “This is your husband?”

“Mm.” Sister Ping was filled with doubt. “Small boss, don't tell female boss. Don't fire me. I won't let him come again. I also won't let that affect my work. If I was fired, I wouldn't have a chance to live if I stayed home every day.”

Mu Jingzhe frowned. “You can't constantly withstand this blow. This is a problem that needs to be solved.”

Mu Jingzhe had no tolerance when it came to domestic violence. In the modern era, many people would advise a mistreated wife to get a divorce. In any case, domestic violence will not stop once it starts and will only get worse. However, divorce is not a solution that people are looking for in this era. Mu Jingzhe did not tell her to divorce, but she still said that this matter should be resolved.

No wonder he had bruises before. Turns out he's been beaten.

"I know. It's all my fault for failing to bear a son. If my stomach worked harder, I wouldn't be beaten. I just have to give birth to a son and everything will be fine. ”

The frown on Mu Jingzhe's forehead deepened. Little Bei could not help but say, “The baby's gender is not determined by his mother. If you really want to pursue this matter, it is the responsibility of the father. You don't have to blame yourself.”

Little Bei, who had studied the science behind this, did not like this misunderstanding.

Sister Ping looked at Little Bei. “How impressive. You know everything."

Although he praised her, his expression disagreed. When she smiled, the corner of her mouth twitched and she let out tears.

Mu Jingzhe frowned. “Come pack up and come back first. No more customers. We can close for today.”

"Yes." Yeah." Actually, Sister Ping had been specifically waiting until now because she did not want to go home. She was afraid that she would be criticized by her in-laws if she came home, so she wanted to eat some tea eggs and unsold bread before leaving.

Mu Jingzhe was about to leave when the drunkard who had just left suddenly waltzed back. "Give me two yuan."

“I don't have any money. I have not received my salary. Don't drink anymore. Come home quickly.” Sister Ping was afraid that Mu Jingzhe would be disgusted, so she carefully pushed her husband.

"Why are you here if they don't pay you!" Unexpectedly, the words 'I have no money' angered the drunken husband. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and grabbed her hair, slapping her without a care.

"Stop!" Mu Jingzhe exclaimed in shock.

“Even if you're the boss, you can't stop me from hitting my wife. Give me the money!" The drunk, who was impatient, actually took his bottle of beer and smashed it.

Amid Sister Ping scream and Little Bei's terrified scream, the beer bottle broke and Sister Ping's head opened.
