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

Chapter 96 - Pay With His Life

As the old saying goes, one should not criticize a deceased person at all costs. Life is the most noble thing.

Mu Jingzhe also felt regret. After all, Chubby Boy was young, and his life was just beginning. That said, he couldn't bear all the blame just because he felt guilty and sorry for her.

How old is Shao Xi? He's only half the age of Chubby Boy. He's also very pathetic.

From an old man's point of view, how is this fair to Shao Xi, who might be traumatized by all of this?

“Xi small, don't think too much. Don't think too much.” Back then, Mu Jingzhe only wanted to protect Shao Xi.

When Shao Xi finally calmed down, they heard someone shout that the child's mother had arrived.

Someone who knew Chubby Boy had gone to tell his mother.

Chubby Boy's mom runs the store right across the street, so she's not far away. He rushed in a short time.

Mu Jingzhe and Shao Xi met again with the fat mother they met in the morning. In contrast to her ferocity in the morning, right now, the face of the stye mother was filled with panic and disbelief.

“That can't be my Chubby Boy. No, he just went to collect some area songs.it's not him..”.

He continued to deny it until he saw her familiar body and clothes. His legs gave up, and he fell to his knees.

The person supporting her could not pull her up no matter how hard she tried.

“No, no.. I just scolded you a little. How could you just leave me!” He lay on the ground, unable to stand. Then, he only managed to get through it by crawling.

“Please, everyone, help me see it. Help me save him..” He wailed, his voice shrill.

The surrounding spectators could not bear to watch and turned their heads. The two people standing beside Mu Jingzhe whispered.

“That's why he shouldn't hit and scold the kid all the time. He even said that he would be useless if he did not win first place and he should just die. ”

Mu Jingzhe was shocked. He and Shao Xi had seen the Fat Boy scolded, but they had no idea that he often said such bad things to her.

From their disjointed conversation, Mu Jingzhe learned that Fat Boy had been raised alone by his mother. His father died when he was very young.

He was a writer and poet whose books had even been published. He used to be a famous scholar.

Chubby Boy has been talented since a young age. His mother attaches great importance to his care, but he is too strict with her. No matter the competition he participated in, he had to win first place. Otherwise, he would be scolded or beaten.

The Fat Boy had been forced into a corner, and everyone had tried to persuade the mother, but to no avail. His mother always said that this was the only way to be successful.

In the end, Chubby Boy could not stand it anymore and had chosen to settle this in the worst possible way, by killing himself, as his mother had ordered.

As a mother, how could she accept that she had forced her own child to die? In the end, he fainted from crying. People around him helped call the police and take care of funeral arrangements.

Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Xi's pale face and knew that he couldn't help, so he took her away.

Mu Jingzhe, who was in a hurry to leave, did not even look in the direction he was heading. He went in a completely different direction from the homestead. It was Ji Buwang who then led them back.

“Don't think too much.” Ji Buwang comforted him. “We can only hope something like this will not happen again in the future.”

The education method of the fat mother was undesirable, and so was the method of the Fat Boy. No matter what, one must cherish his life.

Ji Buwang tried to comfort Shao Xi, but Shao Xi did not say a word. At his young age, there was only so much he could bear.

“Mm, I'll be next door. Call me if anything happens. Don't think too much.”

Shao Xi lay on the bed obediently, but she did not dare to close her eyes. As he did so, he felt as if he could see Chubby Boy falling to the ground in front of him again.

Mu Jingzhe, who experienced the same thing, said to Shao Xi, “When his work is published, let's buy a copy, okay? From now on, we'll burn the banknotes for him this whole year. If there is a good piece, we will burn it for him as well so that he can read it there.”

Shao Xi finally replied. "Good."

With the Fat Boy gone, the one who suffered the most was definitely the stye mother he left behind. He will probably feel guilty for the rest of his life. Mu Jingzhe's heart felt heavy.

Unexpectedly, right after Mu Jingzhe expressed his sympathy, the fat mother came to their door at night.

“Shao Xi, are you inside? Get out of here!”

Now that such a thing had happened, it was inevitable that the organizers of the competition would intervene. The fat mother accused them of being unfair, which resulted in the death of her son, and then, she somehow managed to obtain Shao Xi's address.

“This is all your fault. Get the fuck out of here. I will kill you today to take revenge for my son's life!”

Turns out he was there to avenge Chubby Boy. Ignoring the owner's obstruction, he brought the scissors to the door and he banged on it.

The owner wanted to stop her, but the fat mother held the scissors around her neck.

“If you keep stopping me, I will die in front of you. If I can't even avenge my son, I don't want to live anymore. What good am I living for?”

The owner was forced to retreat, and Mu Jingzhe, who was inside, frowned.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Mu Jingzhe comforted Shao Xi. He did not understand what was on this man's mind. Why was he thinking of looking for Shao Xi?

However, the fat mother had found a way out to vent her anger. “Open the door, Shao Xi. Don't think that just because you're quiet, I'm not going to know you're there. You are the one who caused the death of the Fat Boy, but you still have the courage to live!”

Ji Buwang came out to stop him. “Omong empty what kind of you are talking about? What does this have to do with Shao Xi!”

“How does it have nothing to do with him? If he doesn't get first place, my Fat Boy won't die. Shao Xi even provoked and scolded him. He's the one who forced my Chubby Boy to die.”

Shao Xi's face, which had finally subsided, turned pale. He had already blamed himself from the start, so when he heard this, he was even more convinced that it was his fault.

Mu Jingzhe was furious. "Little Xi, stay there and don't move."

He gritted his teeth and opened the door. “Bah! You accuse my Little Xi of causing your son's death? It is clear you caused the death of your son! ”

Originally, Mu Jingzhe really did not want to say this because it was too disturbing for a mother to hear. However, this time, he was really angry.

She pitied this mother, but in the end, she wanted to blame Shao Xi. Those who do not know better may think that it is true!

“Do not think that outsiders do not know. I've heard about it. You're the one who keeps scolding your son and forcing him to do this. You're the one who told him to die if he didn't get first place. You know very well why your son died.

“I used to pity you, but it turns out you don't even know how to mirror. All you know is how to blame others. What kind of mother does this ?! ”

Mu Jingzhe gritted his teeth. “No wonder he wants to go. You're the one who forced him to do that. It's all because she has a mother like you!”

It wasn't easy for the fat mother to make excuses to free herself from wrongdoing and look for a scapegoat, but in the end, Mu Jingzhe ruthlessly revealed the truth. How could he accept it?

"Shut up!" He screamed and waved the scissors. His eyes were red and filled with hatred, as if he wanted to kill Mu Jingzhe.
