Shao Qiyang was at the door, so he happened to hear the children from the oldest branch scolding the five children.
He was so angry that his face turned green. Shao Fu, who did not see Shao Qiyang, used his ultimate demeanor to threaten Shao Xi. “If you don't give it to me, I'll make Grandma kick you out. This is our home. If you don't give it to me, I'm not going to let you stay here anymore.”
As he took advantage of Shao Dong and the others, who stopped, a satisfied look flashed across Shao Fu's eyes. He'll hit them when ...
"Stop."
Shao Qiyang then said with a sullen expression on his face, "Shao Lu, return Little Xi's comic book."
"Why should I?" Shao Lu refused to give up. “Why can't I pick up the comic books while they stay at our house?”
"Who taught you to talk like this?" Shao Qiyang was furious.
Mu Jingzhe glanced at him and straight to the point. “If you don't want them to stay in your home, then return their home to them.”
“Since when do they have a home?” Shao Lu asked in turn.
Mu Jingzhe pointed to the magnificent new house next door. "That's the house you live in now."
“That's our home!” Fu, Lu, Shou, and X retaliated furiously.
“So you live in your family home? The house was built with Shao Dong's father's pocket money. It has nothing to do with you. You shamelessly live in their nice house and give this bad house to them to live in, yet you even dare to sound so right yourself? ”
“To be honest, you guys are borrowing a house. If you are not happy, return the house to them. They don't even care about your ugly home.”
Mu Jingzhe shocked everyone with his words.
This was the first time Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xiu had heard this. Although they were furious, they felt guilty for some reason when they saw Mu Jingzhe's expression.
"No way, it's our house."
"Ask your third uncle if you don't believe me." Mu Jingzhe pointed at Shao Qiyang.
Shao Qiyang was silent. What Mu Jingzhe said was the indisputable truth.
This made Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xi uncomfortable. They were used to being the tyrants of the village and showing off their large houses. Now, it's suddenly revealed that the house doesn't belong to them?
Shao Lu almost lost his temper when he heard a voice coming from the room where Shao Qiyang was staying.
"What's that sound?"
Mu Jingzhe took two steps forward. "Who is this? Who's inside?”
No one answered.
Shao Fu and Shao Lu looked at each other and did not speak. Shao Nan glanced at them and suddenly said, "That must be a thief."
A burglar?
Shao Qiyang was stunned and felt a little strange, but Mu Jingzhe had already reacted.
"A thief?" Expressions change. "Hide behind me!"
He took an old shovel and stepped forward.
“You're inside the house, you're surrounded. If you know what's good for you, get out with your head in hand. Otherwise, I will not be polite.”
No sound came out from inside.
"If you don't get out soon, I'll break down the door."
The person inside stuttered and made some sounds, but they did not speak properly.
Mu Jingzhe frowned. With so many children in the house, it would be terrible if they were injured or something like that. And this thief didn't come out when he was told to?
Shao Qiyang felt that something was wrong and was about to stop Mu Jingzhe. However, he suddenly saw her lifting her legs and kicking.
With a loud, sturdy new door that was previously installed to prevent Mu Jingzhe from being kicked open.
Opened…
It opened…
Shao Qiyang and the nine children in the courtyard were dumbfounded.
Mu Jingzhe lifted his iron spade and charged in. "Let's see where you're going."
“Ah... Don't hit me, it's me! It's me!"
After the wave of dust, everyone saw the horrified-looking Zhao Lan, who was almost crushed by the door, as well as Mu Jingzhe, who was still carrying an iron shovel.
Zhao Lan's face turned green, and her lips turned pale. He was really scared because of his wits.
He rubbed his chest and looked at Mu Jingzhe.
Mu Jingzhe frowned. "Oh that's you."
It was her mother-in-law, Zhao Lan.
"Why are you hiding here secretly?"
"Who said I was hiding secretly?" Zhao Lan replied. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the door on the ground and then the iron shovel in Mu Jingzhe's hand and closed his mouth abruptly.
Since when did Mu Jingzhe become so powerful? Or is the door broken?
Shao Qiyang withdrew his gaze from the broken wooden door with great difficulty and furrowed his brows as he looked towards Zhao Lan.
"Mom, why are you here?"
He scanned the room with his gaze and saw clear signs of chaos.
Shao Qiyang's expression became even worse. Without asking, he knew that he was there to look for his salary again.
He is now a temporary worker at the post office, so he receives a smaller salary than a full-time staff member. It was extremely difficult for him, yet Zhao Lan had to take all of his salary.
When Shao Qihai died, Shao Qiyang said that he had to raise his nephew and sister, so he stopped giving his salary to Zhao Lan. He had not expected Zhao Lan to directly come to his room and tear apart his things for it.
“I've said this a few times. I have to keep my salary for the next two months to pay Little Dong and the other children's school fees. School will start soon.”
Among the four children were—Dong, Nan, Xi, and the older Bei—two sat in second grade, while the younger two sat in first grade.
“Of course I know the school has started. You can ask me for money when the time comes. ” Zhao Lan is determined to get that money.
Shao Qiyang and Shao Dong looked at him without saying anything. None of them believed that he would hand over the money as promised.
Zhao Lan's pockets were always empty, and she only took and never gave.
When Zhao Lan saw that Shao Qiyang had not said anything, she turned around and scolded Shao Bei. “Why was he taken to the hospital when he just felt hot? The money for the hospital fees will be enough to pay for his tuition fees. She's just a girl. Why send her to school when she's getting married in the end when she grows up? You might as well save money and get a wife ... "
Shao Bei was not happy to hear that. He would say that he was a good student and ask why he could not go to school, but Shao Nan stopped him.
As Shao Nan lowered her eyes, a hint of ridicule that was incompatible with her age flashed between them. He stopped Shao Bei from having unnecessary fights so that he would not be beaten.
After all, it was good enough that their school fees were not stolen.
Although Shao Nan had not seen Zhao Lan enter the house, she had guessed that it was him. He was afraid that their school fees would be taken, so he deliberately suggested there was a thief in the house.
He's not lying. After all, her grandmother, Zhao Lan, was indeed a thief in her eyes.
Unexpectedly, he got quite a lot from claiming there was a thief.
Shao Nan looked at Mu Jingzhe. He had been the biggest surprise today.
Mu Jingzhe, who did not pay attention to Shao Nan's gaze, looked at the unceasing Zhao Lan and frowned impatiently.
He was most afraid of this kind of scolding. Hearing that made him want to hit someone.
Mu Jingzhe raised his foot and stomped on the door, causing it to crack.
“Very noisy.”
Zhao Lan's entire body stiffened. Only then did he remember that this curse still existed. This unlucky lady even had a design on her third son.
As he looked at the door that was completely shattered, Zhao Lan could not even be bothered to look at Mu Jingzhe's hair and notice the change in her appearance.
“How... How dare you call me noisy? I'm your mother-in-law.”
Zhao Lan spoke in a very weak tone. It was as if she was a completely different person from the woman who continued to refer to the real Mu Jingzhe as a curse after Shao Qihai's death.
"What does this have to do with you being my mother-in-law?" Mu Jingzhe glanced at him and said, “In addition to school fees and books, we still have to buy clothes, shoes, and exercise books when school starts.
“Their uncle pays for their school fees, so you have to take responsibility for their clothes, shoes and exercise books. Right, mother-in-law? You don't buy it for the new year because you want to buy it before school starts, right?”
Since Zhao Lan appeared of her own accord, Mu Jingzhe would not let go easily.
