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

Chapter 82: Don't Help Someone

Li Zhaodi pulled Little Bei and cupped her little face hatefully.

“You don't have to smile if you don't want to. It's not like I can do anything for you. Why are you trying to please me? ”

Little bei was stunned.

Li Zhaodi spoke loudly, but Little Bei did not feel any hatred at all. In fact, for some reason, he even felt closer to her.

He blinked and, according to him, no longer smiled. "Is ... Are you here to take Mom away?" he asked carefully.

Li Zhaodi snapped, "No!"

If only he could take her away.

He looked up at the sky. He had no idea what he had done in his previous life so it was worth it to go through all of this.

Seeing Little Bei sigh in relief and laugh out loud, holding back his laughter after glancing at Li Zhaodi again, he said in a dissatisfied tone, “If you want to laugh, laugh. I just told you not to laugh when you don't want to. Your mother is very protective of you because she wants you to laugh whenever you want. If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh. You don't have to please anyone or tiptoe around anyone.

“Remember, don't be afraid of anyone in the future. If anyone dares to bully you, find Mama or me. Don't be afraid.”

Little bei nodded. “Alright, I will also pass that message to my brothers.”

Li Zhaodi nodded in satisfaction. She waited a while longer, but when she heard nothing, she couldn't help but say, “Don't you already call Jingzhe 'Mother'? Why don't you greet me as 'Grandmother'?”

Isn't Jingzhe saying that kids are smart? Judging from this, it seems not.

Little Bei was stunned for a moment before he reacted and rejoiced. "grandmother ... Grandma?"

“Not 'Granny'. It's 'Grandmother'.” Li Zhaodi took some fruit candy from her pocket and handed it to Little Bei.

“Thank you, Grandma.” Little Bei thanked him politely.

Li Zhaodi waved her hand, finally feeling a little better. Then, she turned around and saw a row of radishes calling her 'Grandmother'.

Now that they had made the change and started calling Mu Jingzhe 'Mother', it was very easy for the children to switch to calling Li Zhaodi as 'Grandmother'.

Li Zhaodi: “..”

It's kind of sad to have so many step-grandchildren. How wonderful would it be if they were his grandchildren?

Despite feeling depressed, Li Zhaodi still disliked each other. She gave them all candy to celebrate that they called her 'Grandmother'.

After they called her 'Grandmother' and she gave them candy, Li Zhaodi and the five children looked at each other, feeling a little uncomfortable.

In the end, Li Zhaodi waved her hand. “Huh. I'm really not able to hug some of you and call you 'honey' today. ”

The children are ashamed of their words. They also didn't want her to hug them and call them 'honey'. It's gonna be too awkward. However, since Li Zhaodi was their mother's biological mother, they wanted to accompany her.

Since Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng had taken away Mu Jingzhe, they were extremely afraid of Li Zhaodi before. For this reason, Shao Nan even hated Li Zhaodi before.

However, now that Mu Jingzhe had returned, when they saw Li Zhaodi again, they felt that she had become more friendly.

"Grandma, this is for you."

Little Bei gave the rabbit-shaped white milk candy that he could not bear to eat to Li Zhaodi.

The boys also took out their only snacks and gave them to Li Zhaodi. Xiao Wu even wanted to play a flute for Li Zhaodi.

Li Zhaodi looked at their small faces and felt even more conflicted.

“You only know how to lick with me. You're all pretty smart, but there's no point in licking me. The important thing is that you treat Jingzhe well.”

Shao Xi quickly nodded. “Grandma, we know. Don'worry. We will treat Mom very well and filial to her.”

“You must keep your promise. If you dare to treat her badly and unfilial, I.

Li Zhaodi grunted. “Do you think I want to admit you? I don't want to, but what can I do because Jingzhe is disobedient? Just remember his kindness. The only thing I want to say to you is this: You must support him in his old age in the future.”

“You really talk big, yeah. Wearing the best clothes and jewelry? No matter all that. When Jingzhe is 55 years old, the five of you can support her in her old age.”

Li Zhaodi suddenly had an idea. “Isn't the current retirement age 55 years? When Jingzhe is 55, you can give him a pension. The five of you can come along to retire together.”

Li Zhaodi laughed at that thought. This way, it would be exactly like working.

If Jingzhe remarries and has children in the future, she will have a pension and feel more assured. If he is not married or has children, it will guarantee that he will have enough money to live in his old age.

Of course, Li Zhaodi did not want the latter to happen.

The five children looked at Li Zhaodi and scratched their heads. So he just wants them to give him a pension? Can't they support him well in his old age?

However, they were unable to provoke this granny right now. They'll just follow whatever he says.

Li Zhaodi did not know if those children would mean anything in the future. He was only satisfied when he heard them agree. Fearing no evidence, he immediately asked them to write down the bail.

“Write and sign your name one by one. If you don't know how to write yet, press your thumbprint. I'll keep the paperwork. If you don't fulfill your promise in the future, I'll look for you.

“We all know how to write.”

"Then go ahead and write."

Li Zhaodi was also not very literate. He had only learned a few words in the elementary class before, so he had only scanned the first part of the content hastily. Even though he was sensitive to numbers and could calculate numbers clearly, he did not know how big of a pension he had to write down, either, so he vaguely said that they should give him an amount based on future standards.

The children obediently wrote it down and signed it.

“Alright, I'll save it then. Remember to keep your promises in the future. Otherwise, I will take this guarantee and get you into trouble. ”

Li Zhaodi left with a guarantee of satisfaction without waiting for Mu Jingzhe to return.

When Mu Jingzhe returned, the five children obediently told him what had happened, such that they changed the way they called him and started calling him 'Grandmother', and that they have written a guarantee.

Unsure whether he should laugh or cry, Mu Jingzhe handed the books he had borrowed from the county library to them.

Now that Mu Jingzhe had returned, the few female workers he had hired continued their previous routine of leaving for work early in the morning and coming home late at night, in and out day after day. On the third day, Li Fang also came, but this time, he did not come to take supplies.

Ever since that incident, the atmosphere in the Li Family had become depressed. Li Fang looked grim and much thinner than before.

Although everyone said that Bai Qiang should not act like this and that the Li Family was pitiful for being entangled with him, there was still a lot of gossip.

Bai Qiang deliberately spread the rumors to force Li Fang to marry her. Although the Li Family ultimately disagreed and Li Fang persisted and did not compromise, he was still affected.

The young men in the village who were previously interested in him stopped looking for him. He also suffered from quite a lot of gossip. Some people said that even though Bai Qiang's actions were wrong, there was one thing he said was right.

Who knew if Li Fang would escape like Li Tao.

Words turned into sharp weapons that were even more painful. The Li family became increasingly silent.

In the past, Li Fang used to have a cheerful personality. After being forced under such circumstances, he really could not stay in the village anymore. This made him think of leaving the village to find money for his parents so that they could repay the money they had borrowed. He did not want them to be unable to raise their heads in the village, nor did he want to be the target of those rumors anymore.

Coincidentally, an older sister who went looking for money in Little Eastern Village came back, saying that their factory was still hiring this year. The girls in the village could register if they wanted to leave. The older sister would see these girls, and if she felt they were fine, they could leave.

Li Fang was tempted, but he was not confident. In the end, he couldn't help but ask Mu Jingzhe.

In Li Fang's heart, Mu Jingzhe was well-informed. He would feel even more confident if Mu Jingzhe also felt that it was okay.

Mu Jingzhe frowned and said without thinking, "Don't go."

Li Fang froze in shock. "Why?"

She did not expect Mu Jingzhe to have such an attitude.

Mu Jingzhe took a deep breath. This was the beginning of Mu Jingzhe's descent into hell.
