Mu Jingzhe felt that he was still young. He was only 20 years old that year. Even if she raised these children for another ten years, she would only be 30 years old.
At that time, those five children would become more or less adults and would not need them anymore. He could then consider leaving.
Shao Nan said in surprise, "If there is no accident, you must not leave."
She was terrified after seeing him leave once. Now that Mu Jingzhe had returned and given them hope, he did not dare to hope for her to be dashed again.
After saying that, she felt her tone was not very good, so she added awkwardly, “We will treat you well. When we grow up, we will be devoted to you and make sure you live a good life. ”
“That's right,” Shao Xi added. “We may be a burden now, but we will all be something in the future. We will make sure you wear the best clothes and the most expensive jewelry in the future.”
Mu Jingzhe burst into laughter. "Make sure I wear the best clothes and the most expensive jewelry?"
Shao Xi's face darkened. “You don't trust me? We will keep our promise. We will definitely make sure you live a better life than if you remarry.”
She was afraid that Mu Jingzhe would not believe her, so she said seriously, “The young women who got married in the village are not easy either. They worked hard to serve their mother-in-law and the whole family, but they had to hear gossip about them. They can't even stay silent for a while. They were always treated as outsiders. When they get married, they become outsiders. When they returned to their parents' house, they were still outsiders.
“Not that. They even had to give birth to children. Giving birth to children is quite dangerous, but the husband and in-laws are even picky about the sex of the baby. The family wanted a son, and the family wanted a daughter. Someone might die in the process. This is what happened to an aunt in the village last year.
“But in your case, you do not have to give birth. Now that you have us, we will be devoted to you in the future. You also do not have to serve the whole family. In the future, we will help with homework. You are the head of the family, so you do not need to be disturbed. You are a true family to us. ”
Mu Jingzhe was shocked. “How did you find all that? Shao Xi, are you..”.
Are you transmigrating? Or have you been born again?
Shao Xi was confused. “What am I? People can see this around us. I've been observing.”
He has analyzed and summarized in the last two days. She even wanted to go to Mu Jingzhe and analyze the theory with him to persuade him back.
But he can't leave.
Now that Mu Jingzhe had returned, he couldn't help but say this.
When Mu Jingzhe heard him say that he had been observing, he secretly praised Shao Xi's observation skills and sharpness. He thought that it was no wonder he was going to be a writer. He could see through phenomena and gain the essence of everything.
Shao Xi heaved a sigh of relief as she saw Mu Jingzhe giving her thumbs up.
“We are sincere. We don't need you to look after us forever. If you want to get married in the future, we won't stop you. We'll even help you. When the time comes, you can marry whomever you want. We'll give you a big dowry. If he dares to bully you, we will teach him a lesson.”
In the end, Shao Xi concluded, “By the way, we can get anyone you like.”
The last sentence was very bold and domineering. He can help her get whoever she likes.
Listen listen. Get him whoever he likes ...
This doesn't sound like something a seven-year-old would say. Even though she would be eight years old, she was still a child.
Mu Jingzhe: "..."
He's sure. As expected of a writer, Shao Xi knew how to summarize things very well. His words were sharp and precise in the head, as it was filled with persuasive power and sounded extremely charming.
That's right, Mu Jingzhe was tempted. Any woman would be tempted.
Mu Jingzhe could not help but extend his pinky. "Then that's a deal."
Shao Xi's eyes twinkled. He stretched out his pinky and made a seal with hers. "Agreed!"
Shao Dong felt grateful as he looked from the side. Shao Nan looked at Mu Jingzhe's shining eyes. It was obviously an inopportune time, but he couldn't help but ask Mu Jingzhe which part he found most tempting.
Mu Jingzhe: "..."
Do you have to be so sharp?
Of course he was tempted by the money. Men are just a bonus.
Shao Dong laughed and nudged Shao Nan with his hands, as if saying 'enough'. He changed the subject and asked Mu Jingzhe, "Have you eaten yet?"
She had referred to her as the mother in front of Mu Teng before, but she felt a little embarrassed to say it in front of her face.
"Yet. I want to go back and cook for you. Have you eaten?" Mu Jingzhe asked as he helped Shao Dong wipe the dust off his face.
When she saw him wiping himself, Mu Jingzhe felt that something was wrong. “Shao Dong, why is your face so hot? Do you have a fever?”
“Fever again?” Shao Xi immediately touched his face. “Why is your face so hot during the day too?”
On the day she left, she knelt down and cried, and she even had blisters on her body. That same night, he had a low-grade fever.
For the past two days, he kept having a fever at night.
However, he managed to survive. After taking the medicine that Mu Jingzhe had bought before, he would force himself to wake up every day to take care of his younger siblings.
Too many things were weighing down his heart. He didn't even dare to be sick. If he fell ill, things would become even more messy.
Now that Mu Jingzhe had returned, Shao Dong heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and quickly fell ill.
She did not have a high fever, but she started showing flu symptoms. Mu Jingzhe took her to the doctor for an examination.
His younger siblings felt guilty and took turns accompanying him.
Now that Mu Jingzhe had returned, they felt much better.
Shao Dong no longer had a fever at night, but he was sweating and kept saying that he was thirsty. In the middle of the night, she would alternate between drinking water and going to the bathroom.
He only calmed down during the second half of the night.
The next morning, Mu Jingzhe touched Shao Dong's forehead and heaved a sigh of relief when he discovered that he no longer had a fever and his complexion was much better.
Shao Dong opened his eyes in a daze but did not fully wake up yet. When she saw Mu Jingzhe's face, she couldn't help but smile and called her 'Mother' gently.
Mu Jingzhe was stunned. Before she could react, Shao Dong hugged her.
“Mother, don't go. I have so many wishes that have not come true ... "
“Alright, I won't go.” Mu Jingzhe hugged Shao Dong tightly.
She was so surprised that Shao Dong had switched to calling her 'Mother', but she didn't mind. Heart softened.
Shao Dong, who was being hugged, blinked. As she felt more awake, she became embarrassed.
She ... She really called him Mom. He had said out loud what was on his mind.
In a daze, he thought it was a dream, but it turned out to be reality.
Shao Dong was stiff and lost. Then, he met Shao Nan's gaze.
Shao Nan came to see him and happened to see this sight.
“My brother, you are blushing. Do you feel embarrassed after calling him 'Mommy'?”
Shao Nan came up jokingly and pretended to complain to Mu Jingzhe. "Mom, Brother is ashamed."
Shao Dong pointed towards Shao Nan. "You…"
Shao Nan looked at Mu Jingzhe, who was looking at her, and said frankly, “Can I call you 'Mother'? I also want to call you 'Mama'. Actually, if you ask us to change the way we greet you, I'll do it.”
Mu Jingzhe: “Sure, of course. I was just a little..”.
Flattered.
Mu Jingzhe always felt that he could not understand Shao Nan. Shao Dong was, of course, relatively quiet.
He had not expected to be suddenly called 'Mama' by the two of them, and he was in a daze.
After Shao Dong was exposed by Shao Nan, he endured his embarrassment. “Thank you for taking care of us, Bu.”
Unlike the three little ones, Shao Dong and Shao Xi had never called her 'Mother' before. They even had faint memories of their mother.
Now that they had said the word 'Mother' again, they did not feel any anger, only relief.
The two took this opportunity to change the way they handled Mu Jingzhe, making Little Bei become extremely excited. "Sister and Third Brother are also calling Mother 'Mother' now."
"Everybody's calling Mommy 'Mommy' now." Xiao Wu laughed. "Except Second Brother."
Everyone looked towards Shao Xi, the only one who did not follow him.
Shao Xi: “..
Wait a minute, why is he the only one left?
