Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 260: Who Will Try On The Men’s Underwear?

In the past year, many of Shao Dong’s 100 wishes had been fulfilled, but there were also some that needed time to fulfill. For example, his wish to go to Bai Lu’s grave to offer incense to her.

Mu Jingzhe had kept the wish in her heart after seeing it last year. She had also thought of taking them there, but she didn’t know if she could go this year.

In the past, Mu Jingzhe would definitely have taken them there. However, now that Shao Qihai was back, it was more suitable for Shao Qihai to bring them along.

After dinner, when Shao Qihai came out after washing the dishes, he saw Mu Jingzhe waving at him. “I have something to speak to you about.”

“What is it?”

“Come over here first.”

Shao Qiyang looked at Shao Qihai and Mu Jingzhe’s backs and lowered his head. He walked out of the courtyard, not wanting to see the two of them interacting.

After this period of time, Shao Qiyang could finally face the two of them together, eat with them, and interact naturally with them.

Of course, there was still some discomfort, but it was a little better than before. Shao Qiyang had hesitated before, especially when he had seen that Mu Jingzhe still planned to get a divorce. He had also noticed that she and Shao Qihai still slept in separate rooms and didn’t look like a married couple.

However, as the days passed, Mu Jingzhe still wouldn’t get a divorce, nor did she have the chance to do so. Due to the fetters of the children and the many things that had happened previously, Shao Qiyang’s feelings slowly faded.

They had to fade. Now that Shao Qihai was back, even if he and Mu Jingzhe really divorced in the future, as her younger brother-in-law, he couldn’t rush to confess his love immediately. Otherwise, the gossip would be unimaginable.

If two brothers fought over a woman, it wouldn’t be any better than when Shao Qihai had been dead. In fact, the situation might even be worse.

If Shao Qihai was gone, everyone would just gossip about it for a period of time. As time passed, it would pass as well. However, since Shao Qihai was still alive, everyone would always remember this.

Shao Qiyang could tell what Shao Qihai was thinking. As he watched him cook, wash the dishes, wash the clothes, and take care of the children, shouldering responsibility for family matters and doing things that many men wouldn’t do, he knew how much Shao Qihai cared.

It seemed like Shao Qihai had really forgotten about Mu Xue and truly wanted to live with Mu Jingzhe. If he interfered, they probably wouldn’t be able to be brothers anymore.

Shao Qiyang couldn’t really give up his biological older brother for love. Besides, Mu Jingzhe might not necessarily accept him.

It should be said that Mu Jingzhe wouldn’t accept him. She had treated him as her brother-in-law right from the start.

Even an outstanding person like Ji Buwang was still just waiting, let alone someone like him. Shao Qiyang knew his limitations.

Like an invisible person, he hadn’t done anything. Ultimately, the reason for that was Mu Jingzhe’s attitude.

In the end, he still had to give up on Mu Jingzhe and try to forget her.

Shao Qiyang walked aimlessly toward the river amid the evening breeze. After walking for a while, he suddenly heard slapping sounds. When he came back to his senses, he saw Mu Xue.

Mu Xue was squatting by the river and washing clothes on a rock by the river. She was hitting the clothes with a washing rod, her movements still a little rusty.

Ever since that conversation with the five kids last time, Mu Xue felt quite upset. Later on, she’d said that she would wash the clothes herself, but she wasn’t proficient at it. When the villagers saw her, they would tease her and laugh at her for not even knowing how to wash clothes.

Wanting to avoid them, Mu Xue came when no one was around. She was always paying attention to people and had also heard this commotion. When she turned around and saw Shao Qiyang, she quickly turned her back to him. In the end, she accidentally bumped into the enamel basin containing the clothes beside her.

The enamel basin slid into the river and floated away along with the water.

Mu Xue cried out in surprise and quickly chased after the basin, but she simply wasn’t as fast as the flowing water. Fortunately, the river curved and the current quickly eased. The enamel basin stopped and moved in circles in the water.
