TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS
Chapter 8: The Virgin
Taking the money from Zhao Lan was like cutting off his flesh.
"I've told you before that I don't have any money, so where am I going to get it?"
Mu Jingzhe's eyes were rather cold. “Bu, I'm serious. Little Zhong's condition could not drag on. We need to take care of him as soon as possible. You can just lend me money. I'll pay you interest and return it to you after some time. Little Zhong is your grandson as well. You also wish he would talk, right? ”
Mu Jingzhe had already relented, but Zhao Lan was still reluctant.
“Even if you just want to borrow money, I still don't have any. Don't listen to what Qihai said. That money was spent a long time ago.”
"Thank you?"? I'll give you another chance.
"There really is no money," Zhao Lan said firmly. “If not, as a grandmother, I wouldn't want my granddaughter taken care of. That can't be avoided. ”
"Good." Mu Jingzhe eyes narrowed dangerously.? If you can't even lend it to me, then fine, but don't blame me for being unfair.
Zhao Lan avoided Mu Jingzhe's eyes. “I've taken him to the doctor before. He was born mute, so there's nothing we can do.”
Mu Jingzhe's eyes turned even colder. "Thul? Where's the doctor you brought?”
“Ya, really. I took her to the doctor earlier, ” Zhao Lan replied casually.
Mu Jingzhe was a bit angry with Zhao Lan's attitude.
According to the novel, Shao Zhong never spoke. By the time they had the money to take care of his condition, it was already too late. They have missed the best treatment.
Zhao Lan was the main culprit.
At the age of two, Shao Zhong had yet to speak. When Shao Qihai said that he wanted to take her to the doctor, Zhao Lan hurriedly offered to take Shao Zhong there and asked Shao Qihai to focus on his work.
Shao Qihai had given him the money and said that if the area hospital was not good enough, he could take him to the city to treat his condition.
Zhao Lan had agreed to it, but she had never once taken it to the doctor. He just pretended to do it in the hospital in the city. Doctors had suggested that they go to the area hospital, but he did not care. He just told them that he could not be cured.
Mu Jingzhe originally wanted to save up before taking Shao Zhong to the doctor, but the events this morning made him impose his plans. Otherwise, he had no idea when a dangerous situation would arise.
When he saw Zhao Lan, he recalled the plot in the book. He only asked because he clearly knew that the woman was hiding money for Shao Zhong's treatment.
He even said that it would be a loan, but he did not expect Zhao Lan to not lend him any money.
Since that was the case, he would not stand on ceremony.
Mu Jingzhe retracted his gaze and saw the five children staring at him with probing eyes.
"That's what I talked about before." Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Dong and said, “I will handle this matter. You can go to class.”
In the afternoon, Mu Jingzhe calmed his mind and focused on making hair ornaments.
He had bought the material used to make the hair ornament the last time he bought the cloth. He got it after seeing some pieces of cloth piled up in the back.
He had bought it at a very cheap price because someone had bought a nice edge. What he brought back was almost like trash.
Mu Jingzhe suddenly had an idea and made a hair ornament for Shao Bei.
He didn't expect it to be so popular.
Mu Jingzhe finished using all the materials he bought. The ornaments he made had a bow and flower design.
Not far from there, Shao Zhong watched Mu Jingzhe with his mouth wide open as if he was conjuring magic.
Mu Jingzhe let the two young customers choose what they liked. After they started wearing the jewelry, more and more children in the village asked their parents to take it.
However, a third customer did not show up after dinner.
It's normal. Not everyone has the means to buy such an item.
Instead of another customer, Li Zhaodi, who had secretly come looking for him, visited.
Why did he sneak in? Because he brought two pieces of chicken for his daughter.
“Still warm. Fast feeding.”
This was the first time Mu Jingzhe had felt what it was like to have a mother.
“Do not be shy. You should be thick-skinned and back. Otherwise, everything would have gone into Mu Xue's mouth and the wild man she took it..”.
Li Zhaodi nagged nonstop. He had to put up Mu Xue every other sentence or so to criticize her.
His face was rather long, and he had a mole on his chin. Judging from his appearance, he was definitely not a good person.
In the novel, he and the real Mu Jingzhe were the most annoying people. They disliked Mu Xue and were always against her.
After all, she was a good mother to her children. She was devoted to her husband and children and disliked boys over girls because she had suffered enough as a daughter and could not bear to let her daughter suffer.
After a few sentences, Li Zhaodi suddenly asked Mu Jingzhe, “Why are you suddenly so worried about those little boys? Why do you cook and make clothes for them?”
"There's no reason. Just... trying to save my reputation.” Mu Jingzhe found an excuse.
Li Zhaodi believed him, and her eyes twinkled. “Jingzhe, you want to change your sister-in-law's impression of you? How are you doing today?”
The corner of Mu Jingzhe's mouth twitched. “No, mom, don't talk nonsense. My sister-in-law is just my brother-in-law. I thought I should find someone better and avoid being stuck in the village. If I really end up with Shao Qiyang, I won't be able to lift my head for the rest of my life.”
Li Zhaodi frowned. "You're right. I don't think it's a good idea either, but you said you liked it, and Mu Xue also seemed to be interested in Shao Qiyang. I don't think anyone who piques his interest will be that bad. ”
Li Zhaodi is a strange and brainless woman in the novel, but she has good judgment. He knew that whatever Mu Xue liked, even men, was not bad.
Mu Jingzhe secretly gave Li Zhaodi a thumbs up. Li Zhaodi really had a good taste in this aspect. Whatever the female protagonist likes should be good.
Unfortunately, like Mu Jingzhe, Li Zhaodi did not have a good ending.
As Li Zhaodi stood before him alive, the simple words about him ending up in the novel caused heartache in Mu Jingzhe.
Mu Jingzhe held onto Li Zhaodi's hand tightly, thinking that no matter what happened, he couldn't let Li Zhaodi end up like that this time.
As he thought about it, he heard Li Zhaodi say, “I will ask you. I'll definitely find you a good partner. Although this will be your second marriage, you are still a virgin. I'll explain to others so it won't be difficult for you to marry someone from the city. ”
Mu Jingzhe was instantly embarrassed. "Mom, stop."
“What I say is the truth. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I will even go around and talk about it everywhere.”
When they got married, Shao Qihai was very drunk on their wedding night and did not touch her. It is not known if he was really drunk or if he intentionally did that to avoid having an intimate relationship with her. Then, she had her period. When her period was over, Shao Qihai went to work. Then, he never came back.
Therefore, the two of them had yet to truly consummate their marriage.
Mu Jingzhe was so embarrassed that he wanted to hinder his mother. However, he suddenly heard a sneer.
It was a male voice.
Li Zhaodi immediately asked, “Who is that? Out."
No one answered. Li Zhaodi pulled Mu Jingzhe to chase after that person. They soon found themselves in the Mu Residence.
The Mu Family had already prepared dinner and had no intention of waiting for Li Zhaodi.
When he saw that Li Zhaodi had returned with Mu Jingzhe, Old Madam Mu's expression turned cold.
Mu Jingzhe did not notice it. Instead, the first person he saw was Mu Xue.
In a simple and unadorned small courtyard was a group of farmers. Mu Xue was very eye-catching among them and was seen at a glance. It's impossible to ignore it.
Just like Mu Xue, the man standing beside her was also unlikely to go unnoticed.
The contours of his face were very clear, and he was extremely arrogant and intimidating.
As expected, this was the male lead, Tang Moling, who had been saved by Mu Xue by accident.
His name sounds like the name of the male protagonist.
The two brothers from the Shao Family, Hai and Yang, were obviously supporting characters, but they themselves did not know about it.
As she thought, she met Tang Moling's cold gaze.
Mu Jingzhe: "..."
He did not do or say anything.
