Shao Dong's calm voice came from the house. “Xiao Wu, what happened? Is what Shao Xi said true?”
Xiao Wu did not say anything, but Shao Xi said coldly, “How come? I dragged her back from Shao Qiyun's place.”
After a moment of silence, Little Bei tried to persuade him. “Second Sister, don't get too angry. Calm. Xiao Wu, you too. Let's talk about it.”
Xiao Wu finally spoke. “What to say? I'll go back to my room.”
Hearing that, Shao Xi restrained Xiao Wu. Shao Dong also stopped Xiao Wu. "Xiao Wu, why are you doing this?"
Xiao Wu sounded a little annoyed. "There's no reason. I just want to go. I use the money I earned myself.”
Standing outside the door, Mu Jingzhe was completely stunned. What does this mean? Did Xiao Wu secretly see Shao Qiyun recently?
Wh why? Why did he go look for Shao Qiyun?
Mu Jingzhe could not understand it, nor could Shao Dong. “Xiao Wu, while Mom is not around and has not known about this, calm down and let us know what happened. I don't think you want me to know this either, do you?”
“He has no heart. Mom treated him very well. Ever since he was young, he had always loved her and been biased towards her, usually accompanying her the most. But he doesn't know how to appreciate it. Now, he even went to look for Shao Qiyun. If I were Mom, I would be angry to death. This is just treason!” Shao Xi's angry voice sounded again.
Mu Jingzhe was about to push the door when he stopped after hearing this.
At home, Shao Dong stopped Shao Xi from saying even more furious words. “Alright, Shao Xi, don't be rash. It might just be a coincidence. Let Xiao Wu say a few words.”
Xiao Wu finally spoke. “I said that there is nothing to say. He only helped me before. I felt quite grateful, so I went to see him once. Then, I felt that she was living a miserable and difficult life, so I gave her some things. There's nothing else. Even if Mommy finds out, she won't mind. Don't worry."
His last sentence was aimed at Shao Xi, who spat upon hearing it. “He lived a miserable and difficult life? Is selling to know that hard? What's so sad about that? What kind of position did you put your mother in? Isn't this going to be hard for Mom?”
“Who has hated him so much before? You're saying that you're thanking him now? Just because he helped you that once? You are very fickle. Even if he helped you back then, how many times did Mom save you? In the end, Shao Qiyun only saved you this time, but you are so grateful to her? Compared to what Mama has done for you, it is nothing!”
Shao Xi spoke quickly and viciously, but no one criticized him. Shao Nan nodded in agreement. “Second Brother is right. Xiao Wu, we don't quite agree with your actions.”
Little Bei also took a deep breath and said, “Xiao Wu, I think our brothers are right. Tell us what really happened. Don't say shitty things like that.”
“I didn't say anything that made me angry. I just want to go. I knew you guys would mind, so I didn't tell you. But no matter what she did in the past and how much I hated her, I cannot change the fact that she is my real mother.”
There was a dead silence in the room when the words 'birth mother' were spoken, but Xiao Wu did not seem to hear it. “In addition, he already knows he made a mistake and has changed for the better. He is no longer the old self. I hope you can see that he has changed.”
After a moment of silence, Shao Xi exploded first. “See he's changed? Real mom? Shao Zhong, are you crazy? Did you forget what he did to you? You really talk to him now. Have you ever thought about Mom!”
"Nothing stays the same. He's changed too. It's useless no matter how much you say. Since you already know, don't worry about me in the future. ”
Shao Xi was so angry that her eyes were red, but Xiao Wu did not budge. Instead, he left them and opened the door to leave.
He had calmed down from the start and he remained calm until he opened the door and saw Mu Jingzhe.
All the sounds around him did not seem to reach his ears. Xiao Wu's mind went blank for a moment before he said, "Mom ..."
Feeling that something was amiss, after taking a few quick steps forward, the other four children also saw Mu Jingzhe.
Shao Dong reacted as quickly as he could. “Bu, why are you back today? Didn't you say that you won't come back today? When are you back?”
They wanted to know how much Mu Jingzhe had heard.
Since he did not want Mu Jingzhe to be sad, Shao Xi gave him a stiff smile, wanting to act as if nothing had happened. Mu Jingzhe's heart, which initially felt a little numb, warmed up. "It's okay. I came back when I finished. I happened to meet someone who grew strawberries in the greenhouse. I know that you guys like them, so I picked some and came back. I'll be gone tomorrow. These strawberries may not be overripe and slightly acidic.”
Mu Jingzhe lifted the basket in his hand. Shao Xi and the others looked at the strawberries inside and instantly felt even more annoyed. Originally, Mu Jingzhe had gone to the papermaking factory because there were some things he had to finish. He said he would only come back tomorrow. He must have been in a hurry in the last two days because he wanted to bring them these strawberries.
There are far fewer fruits in winter than in summer. There are fewer greenhouses, and it is not convenient to transport fruit, so there is little fruit in the off-season. Unfortunately, besides being cold, it is also dry in winter. Two days ago, Shao Xi said that she wanted to eat a cold, sour, sweet fruit. Xiao Wu also said that he wanted strawberries, but Mu Jingzhe was unable to find them. In the end, they even went to buy cans of fruit to eat.
Now, it seemed like Mu Jingzhe had noticed this matter and specifically bought fruit to bring it back for them.
Mu Jingzhe was used to treating them well, so he did not think too much of it when he said this. He did not do this to show everyone that he had put in a lot of effort. He just wanted to surprise the kids. In the end, he did not succeed in surprising them. Their expressions looked very contradictory. After a moment of silence, Mu Jingzhe could only helplessly say, "I came back when you guys started fighting and I heard everything."
Xiao Wu, who had been staring at the strawberries, suddenly raised his head. Mom ... have you heard everything?
Mu Jingzhe glanced at the agitated Shao Xi and asked her to calm down. He then looked at Xiao Wu. "Xiao Wu, can I talk to you?"
Xiao Wu stiffened and did not say anything. After a while, he nodded.
Shao Dong stepped forward and took the strawberries from Mu Jingzhe's hand. “Mama, go first. I'll wash the strawberries first. You can eat some after you talk. ”
"Good." Mu Jingzhe nodded.
Upon seeing Mu Jingzhe and Xiao Wu enter the room, Shao Xi and Shao Nan, who were acting casual, lowered their faces and gnashed their teeth as soon as the door closed.
“Let's see if he has any other reasons. To think such a traitor had appeared among the five of us. ”
Shao Dong frowned and patted Shao Xi to stop talking.
Inside the room, Mu Jingzhe looked at Xiao Wu, who had lowered his head. "Xiao Wu, look at me."
