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

Chapter 77: Mother Returns

The Shao family was gloomy in the past few days.

The laughter and excitement earlier had disappeared completely, leaving only a miserable and oppressive atmosphere behind. It could not even compare to what happened before Mu Jingzhe arrived.

As Shao Dong thought, who could bear to suddenly return to darkness after living such a good life and seeing the light?

Although Shao Qiyang wanted to take care of them, his job required him to leave the house early and return only late at night, so he could not do that.

Shao Dong tried his best to take care of them, but they all remained lethargic. Little Bei and Xiao Wu continued to cry and said that they missed their mother.

They think about it while eating, listening to the radio, and even while sleeping. They miss him all the time.

Previously, when writing essays, Shao Xi usually felt awkward and embarrassed, so whenever there was an essay about her mother, she always avoided it because she felt she had no mother.

He had never written about Mu Jingzhe because he was afraid he would be proud, but now he regretted it. He actually has a lot to write about.

When she was still living with the Shao Family, she did not care about him and continued to suspect his intentions. Now that he had returned home, it was too late to regret.

She wrote about him, but she could not see him anymore. Ever since he left, no one had been there to encourage him and praise him for his writing skills.

She knew it was too late, but she still wanted to write about him and give an essay to Mu Jingzhe.

She liked her essay so much, so if she was willing to accept it, she would give it to her.

Shao Nan was very silent. He doesn't talk and is always in a daze.

He also regretted not treating Mu Jingzhe well enough.

He could have done better, but he was too stingy to do it.

Xiao Wu was still playing the flute, but his melody no longer sounded happy. Instead, they elicited feelings of sadness in the person who heard them, making them feel like crying.

Xiao Wu never finished playing one more song, as he was about to start crying towards the end.

According to the plan, they were supposed to go to an area art school to continue learning a foreign language and reading books, but his departure has disrupted that plan.

They secretly went to see Mu Jingzhe, but they had never seen him. They also did not dare to let Mu Jingzhe see them.

Little Bei had picked some flowers and had secretly placed them in the Mu Residence, wanting to give them to Mu Jingzhe to comfort him.

Every night, Little Bei and Xiao Wu would cry and say they wanted to look for Mu Jingzhe, but Shao Dong would stop them.

Shao Dong did not allow them to leave. If they left, it would only make it difficult for Mu Jingzhe.

They lasted three days like this. When they woke up the next day, it was still the same. There was no laughter and no eggs. The kids are lethargic. Unfortunately, they did not expect that things could get worse.

Because of Shao Qiyun and Zhao Lan, the people next door had been depressed and hiding, not daring to face anyone. Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xi were also hated.

They blamed Shao Dong and his brothers. Knowing that Mu Jingzhe did not exist and he had left them for good, the brats could not help but come to mock them.

It's like applying salt to a child's wound. Little Bei and Xiao Wu cried every time they heard that. Seeing their reaction, Shao Fu became arrogant and even wanted to continue bluffing them and snatch what they liked but could not seize before when Mu Jingzhe was around.

However, as soon as they moved, Little Bei and Little Wu's cries exploded. They stepped forward and snatched what belonged to them, then scolded them loudly.

“Mama bought this for me. There's no way I'm letting you take it! ”

"Mama? Mu Jingzhe doesn't want you anymore. Give me!"

His words completely angered the five children, and in the end, Fu, Lu, Shou, and X were all beaten up.

This is the first time. In the past, they were no match for Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xi. After all, they're too young.

However, during this period of time, because of Mu Jingzhe, they grew taller and stronger. They also become more courageous and observe people's weaknesses. They specifically target their weaknesses and hit them wherever it hurts.

In the end, Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xii were beaten until they started crying and ran away.

Shao Dong and his brothers had won. However, they did not feel any excitement at all. Instead, they felt even worse when they saw the items Mu Jingzhe had bought for them.

Shao Dong felt bad to see them like this, but he had to endure it.

"Stop crying. Since we have already defeated them, we can protect ourselves better in the future. Stop crying."

Shao Dong took them to the kitchen and would make them something to eat. However, as he entered, he heard a voice coming from the door.

“Little Bei, Xiao Wu, I'm back. Where are you?"

For a moment, they thought their ears were playing tricks on them and not moving.

In the past few days, they would always experience hallucinations like this, the feeling that Mu Jingzhe had returned, but every time they came out to look, it turned out that they were imagining something.

“Shao Dong?” Then they heard another voice. Next, there were footsteps this time, which added to the reality.

Xiao Wu was the first to run out and see Mu Jingzhe.

"Mama!" Xiao Wu shouted and hurried over.

Little Bei followed closely. "Mama! This is really Mom! Mom's back!”

Some older brothers could no longer sit still and rushed out as well.

Shao Xi attacked too quickly and staggered, almost falling.

Little Bei and Xiao Wu hugged Mu Jingzhe and cried happily. "Mom, you're finally back."

"Huu huu's. We thought you didn't want us anymore. That you've been gone for good.”

Mu Jingzhe's eyes were also red as he hugged her. "I'm sorry. It's my fault for going.”

“This is not Mama's fault. It's Grandma and Aunt's fault. They're the ones who bullied you.”

After saying that, Little Bei repeated his words. “No, I have to correct myself. They're no longer our Grandma and Aunt. They treat you very badly. We have already cut ties with them and will not admit them again.”

“Yes, we just want Mom. We don't want them.” Xiao Wu nodded. The boy, who had just fought back bravely, complained to Mu Jingzhe with a small, teary face.

“They're all bad guys. They even came to pick up our stuff just now.”

Now that their cherished people had returned, Xiao Wu and Little Bei could not wait to share their thoughts and grievances with Mu Jingzhe.

“Mama, I miss you so much. I miss you every day and dream of you at night.”

"I miss you too. I miss you every day in my dreams. I miss you so much that I cry.”

“I miss you too. Even in my dreams.”

The three of them hugged and cried. The eyes of Shao Dong, Shao Xi, and Shao Nan were flushed against their will, but they held back and stood to the side, staring at him.

Mu Jingzhe pulled them. “Why do you look so skinny? Didn't you eat right?”

They initially held back, but now that Mu Jingzhe had pulled them back and asked them this question, their eyes could not help but blush.

“How can we eat right when you are not here? How can we not lose weight?”

As they said this, they could not stop the tears flowing down their cheeks. In the end, the six of them huddled together and cried.

Mu Jingzhe's heart tasted sour, bitter, and sweet. When his emotions calmed down, he hurriedly persuaded them.

“Alright, quiet, quiet. I'll feed you guys well now that I get back. I'll help you make up for all that weight loss.”

He took a handkerchief and wiped their tears. “If you keep crying, your eyes will swell. Quit crying. The way we huddled together and cried, people might think this was a scene from a television drama. If you continue to cry, the villagers will start to arrive. Shut up."

When he heard this, Little Bei's tears turned into a smile.

Little Bei and Xiao Wu held onto Mu Jingzhe and refused to let go. Shao Dong, Shao Xi, and Shao Nan, on the other hand, were slightly embarrassed.

Shao Nan looked at him. “You won't be leaving again, right? You won't leave us like you did this time, will you?”

There was a stubborn expression on his face, but his eyes were filled with caution.

Mu Jingzhe nodded. “If nothing goes wrong, I will not go again. I'll leave when you're all grown up and don't need me anymore.”
