Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 185: Who’s Treating The Kids As Earning Tools?

Upon hearing Shao Qiyun’s words, Zhao Lan’s eyes lit up. She immediately added, “That’s right. Mu Jingzhe lacks virtue as a married woman. In the past, she would have been drowned in a pigpen. But since we now live in a new society, let’s not talk about these things. We won’t stop her from getting married, but since she’s immoral, she should return to her maiden home. She shouldn’t continue staying with the Shao Family and disgracing us.”

When she heard the words ‘immoral’ and ‘drowned in a pigpen’, Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but twitch her lips. “Since you know that this is a new society, what’s there to say?”

“That’s right. Even if Mommy gets married, it’s our family’s business. Why are you so anxious when we’re not even objecting to it?” Shao Xi added. “We’re willing to let Mommy stay here, and that’s none of your concern. This is our house. We call the shots.”

“Nonsense. Don’t tell me you’re going to let her new husband move into the Shao Residence when she remarries. That’s absurd.” The elders couldn’t accept it.

Shao Qiyun chuckled and added, “Maybe the kids want to follow Mu Jingzhe over after she remarries.”

“That won’t do!”

“No, definitely not!”

As soon as Shao Qiyun said this, the elders started getting agitated. “It’s not appropriate for them to follow their stepmother after she remarries. It’s not like there’s no one else in the Shao Family!”

They pointed at Mu Jingzhe and warned her. “If you want to get married, go ahead and leave by yourself. But there’s no way we will allow you to take the five kids away. They are descendants of the Shao Family.”

Mu Jingzhe sneered. “I’ve said a few times already that I’m not getting married. Do you not understand the human language? Besides, even if I really get married in the future, I’ll bring them along if I wish. If they want to, they can follow me. So what?”

“So what? You make it sound so nice. Isn’t this just meant to cover up the fact that you’ve treated the kids as tools to earn money? Why do you think we came to snatch the kids? We did it to save them, lest they become your money-making tools.”

Shao Qiyun didn’t harp on the topic of Mu Jingzhe remarrying. Instead, she directly said the most heart-piercing words that could easily arouse everyone’s emotions.

Indeed, as soon as she finished speaking, everyone’s expressions changed.

Mu Jingzhe’s expression also changed. “Shao Qiyun, make yourself clear. Since when have I treated them as tools to earn money?”

“Since when? It’s always been like that. Don’t try to deny it. You saw that the kids are good-looking, so you made use of this and took them to shoot commercials, movies, and even make them appear on television. Didn’t all the money they earned end up in your pockets?”

Shao Qiyun raised her chin and asked, “Why, are you going to deny it?”

Mu Jingzhe sneered. “That isn’t the case indeed. I’ve never touched the money they earned. I’ve already deposited it in their bank accounts.”

Shao Qiyun hadn’t expected such a thing. This was something she hadn’t thought of at all. If it were her, she would definitely have been splurging with the money everywhere. The children were easy to trick, so why would she help them save the money?

Shao Qiyun put herself in Mu Jingzhe’s shoes and didn’t believe a single word. “How can you even tell such a lie?”

“Mommy isn’t lying. That’s exactly what she did. She didn’t want the money we earned even though we wanted to give it to her. She’s not like you. Don’t think that others are villains just because you are one yourself.” Shao Xi snorted and retorted quickly.

Shao Qiyun choked. “You’re the villain!”

After saying that, she looked at the clothes Mu Jingzhe was wearing and thought about what she had seen previously. She calmed down and said, “Alright, even if the money has been saved in your accounts, it’s just for show to make this sound nice. In the end, all the money will be spent on her.

“Mu Jingzhe, you’re really scheming. You put on a noble front and go around telling everyone that you don’t spend their money, but behind everyone’s backs, you coax them into spending the money on you. One can tell just by looking at how many things they’ve bought for you.”

Shao Qiyun glared at Mu Jingzhe. “You wear new clothes and shoes every day. Who in the village doesn’t know that they bought them for you? Not only that, but they even bought some for your parents. You rely on these children to support your entire family. You people are vampires through and through.”

“You’re the vampire, Shao Qiyun. You little b*tch, is your skin itching again? Have you forgotten how I beat you up last time?” An angry shout came from the door. It was Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng. They had heard Zhao Lan and the others head to Mu Jingzhe’s house and rushed over.

Li Zhaodi had been happily showing off to everyone when Zhao Lan and the rest had come to cause Mu Jingzhe trouble. The moment they’d arrived, they’d heard Shao Qiyun’s accusations, which made Li Zhaodi feel quite incensed. She immediately gave Shao Qiyun a hard slap.

“You’re always talking nonsense. You’re not even married yet, but you’re already spewing sh*t everywhere!”

Shao Qiyun was just having a jolly good time accusing Mu Jingzhe when Li Zhaodi showed up out of the blue, came up to her, and hit her. She was furious. “How dare you hit me!”

When Zhao Lan, who was beside her, saw that Shao Qiyun had been hit, she stepped forward to scratch Li Zhaodi without hesitation. However, before the two of them could move, they were shoved away by a strong force.

Zhao Lan was pushed into the crowd and fell in a sitting position on the legs of an old man. The two of them were flustered, whereas Shao Qiyun was directly pushed to the ground.

The mother-and-daughter duo flew into a rage and looked up to see Mu Jingzhe. Mu Jingzhe dusted her hands off and said, “I’m still here. Don’t touch my mother. If you dare touch her, I’ll entertain all of you!”

“Mu Jingzhe, how dare you get physical with us? You’re simply lawless!”

“Mu Jingzhe, I’ll beat you to death!”

The two of them cursed her and wanted to hit her, but someone held them back.

“Stop fighting. Even if all of us combined forces, we still wouldn’t be able to beat her!”

“That’s right. Zhao Lan, think about the badly beaten snake you saw last time.”

Zhao Lan and Shao Qiyun choked. In terms of martial strength, they really were no match for Mu Jingzhe. Zhao Lan was extremely aggrieved. In the end, it was Shao Qiyun who calmed down. “Fine, we won’t fight. We’re here to reason with you, not to fight. Let’s talk about the way Mu Jingzhe used the kids to earn money to provide for her family.”

With Mu Jingzhe protecting her, Li Zhaodi wasn’t afraid of anything. She placed her hands on her waist and started scolding them. “If you can’t win, just say so. Don’t give us that crap about you being here to reason with us and whatnot. Bah, are you fit to associate yourself with the word ‘reason’?”

“Li Zhaodi, don’t go overboard!”

“So what if I’m bullying you? You can’t beat us in a fight. Even if we were to reason with you, we would not be afraid. We’re using the five kids to earn money to support our entire family? Bah! We don’t need them to provide for us. They’re being filial to us by buying us things. Do you think everyone is as useless as you people?”

Mu Han and Mu Jingzhe both made money, and the couple also made money in town themselves. This gave Li Zhaodi the confidence to speak. She placed her hands on her waist and continued to fire. “Is there anyone in Great Eastern Village who earns more money than our family? Especially Jingzhe. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she is the richest person in the village. Any one of the four of us in this family is more promising than your entire family added up. Do we need the kids to provide for us?

“And what the heck do you mean by calling her a vampire? Jingzhe is using these children to earn money? Pfft. Does she need to? Only a bunch of useless, cowardly leeches like your family would need someone to provide for them. If anything, Jingzhe has been spending money and energy on the five kids.”
