Seeing that Shao Nan had reversed the situation with just a few words, Shao Qiyun immediately panicked. “The five of you don’t have any blood relations to her. Why is Mu Jingzhe so good to you for no rhyme or reason? It’s because she wants to use you to earn money…”

“Enough!” Shao Xi exploded. “Even now, you’re still talking about using us to earn money. You’re the ones who want to use us to earn money, which resulted in this scene today. Shao Qiyun, do you think you’re qualified to speak ill of Mommy?

“Didn’t you attack Mommy and say so many bad things about her just because Mommy isn’t our biological mother? Is being a stepmother a sin?”

Shao Qiyun choked. “Well she is a stepmother…”

“So what if she’s a stepmother? Certain biological mothers and biological grandmothers can’t even compare to a stepmother, so what right do you have to attack her? Everything else aside, no one in Great Eastern Village can do better than Mommy. None of you can.”

Shao Qiyun’s face turned pale when he heard Shao Xi’s words. The words that had been about to come out of her mouth got stuck in her throat.

Zhao Lan clenched her hands and couldn’t help but look at Xiao Wu. When she saw Xiao Wu glaring at them with a look of fury, her heart sank. She pulled Shao Qiyun behind her and told Shao Xi, “Shao Xi, do you think your wings have hardened just because you’re now earning some money? Aren’t you just saying that because you despise me for being poor?

“Stop that bull crap about how wonderful your stepmother is. You’re only saying these things because she knows how to make money. It’s true that I didn’t spend that much money raising you kids, but that’s only because I didn’t have money…”

“I knew you would bring up this excuse.” Shao Xi sneered and didn’t give Zhao Lan a chance to speak. “If you didn’t have money, how could you use the money my father sent back to build a new house? If you didn’t have money, how could you raise Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ into the four pigs they are now?”

Everyone’s gazes unanimously turned to Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ, who were watching the show. Fu, Shou, and Xǐ hadn’t expected to get attacked while watching the show and gloating.

Upon seeing everyone’s gazes, they sucked their stomachs in. Alas, that really didn’t help much. No matter how much they tried sucking in their stomachs, their round tummies were hanging right there, making it impossible to ignore them.

Upon looking at Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ, someone suddenly burst out laughing. Shao Xi’s words made sense. In this era, everyone wasn’t that well-off. Even if children ate a lot, their bodies were developing and they ran around the village all day long, so all the children in the village were basically dark and thin.

Only Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ were fat and dark. Weren’t they just like four pigs?

Eldest Brother Shao, who had been as silent as an invisible person and had a troubled expression on his face, had a slight change in countenance. When Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao heard Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ being called four pigs, she couldn’t stand by and listen anymore. “Shao Xi, who are you calling four pigs? Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ are like that because they’re blessed.”

“Blessed… This blessing comes from eating. The Shao Family, who claimed that they didn’t have the money to raise their children, produced four blessed children. All of them have always looked very blessed from all that eating, and only the five of us were thin and scrawny because we were not blessed. Is this what you call having no money to raise kids?”

Zhao Lan choked. “I…” She glared at Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao. “You talk too much.”

Shao Xi looked at the internal strife between the two villains and sneered. “You realize that you can’t use the excuse of not having money anymore, right? Which family in Great Eastern Village has money? Everyone tightens their belts to raise children. Mommy didn’t have money at first, but she treated us well even when she was penniless.”

“So? Don’t tell me you want to follow her when she remarries? Don’t forget that you have the Shao Family’s bloodline. Mu Jingzhe isn’t your biological mother! You’re a child of the Shao Family!” Zhao Lan’s tone unconsciously contained a hint of smugness toward the end.

This smugness stabbed Shao Xi’s heart deeply. “Why is it a sin that we’re not Mommy’s biological children? We wish we were Mommy’s biological children, but we just had to be the Shao Family’s…”

“The bloodline of the Shao Family. Heh…” Shao Xi scoffed and raised his head to look at his arm. “If it was possible, we’d really dismember our bones and carve up our own flesh like Nezha1 to return the so-called bloodline of the Shao Family to you. You think it’s precious, but we only find it dirty!”

Ever since they had discovered that Shao Qihai wasn’t dead and had abandoned them, this fuse had already been buried in their hearts. Now that they were forced into this today, Shao Xi couldn’t take it anymore and blurted out these words.

Everyone fell silent.

Because Little Bei had acted as Little Nezha, especially since she had acted out this particular scene, almost everyone in the village had seen this before.

At the time, Little Bei had been engrossed in her performance. Upon hearing Shao Xi’s words, Little Bei’s eyes reddened. Everyone looked at Little Bei and Shao Xi, then at Zhao Lan and Shao Qiyun, and their hearts went out to the children.

How terrible must the children be feeling to be forced to say such words?

Even their hearts ached for them, let alone Mu Jingzhe’s. Mu Jingzhe stood in front of the children and said, “Zhao Lan, Shao Qiyun, stop forcing the children. As long as I’m still alive, you can forget about taking them away. Get lost while I’m still being nice. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“How are you going to be rude?” Zhao Lan was completely angered by Shao Xi’s words. Seeing that she couldn’t out-talk them, she started acting shamelessly. Being criticized and gossiped about was a small price to pay if it meant having money to spend.

As long as she could seize back control of the five kids, she would have plenty of money and lead a good life.

Relying on the fact that she had brought along many helpers, Zhao Lan stretched up her neck. “I know you’re strong, Mu Jingzhe, but I’m not afraid of you today. If you have the ability, go ahead and kill me. If you don’t kill me, I’ll take away the children today!” Zhao Lan was resolute and decisive. Shao Qiyun, who was beside her, didn’t say anything. Given their current situation, they could only act shamelessly.

When the villagers saw their behavior, they curled their lips and discussed among themselves. Shao Qiyang, who had wanted to interrupt a few times but hadn’t managed to, couldn’t take it anymore. He went forward and grabbed Zhao Lan, who wanted to push her luck and bump into Mu Jingzhe.

“Enough. Previously, you were shameless and you disregarded the five kids’ lives when you gave them away. Now that the family assets have been split up, why are you making a fuss? Do you consider me a dead person?”

“Aren’t you a dead person?” Zhao Lan spat. “Get lost!”

Eldest Brother Shao finally said his first words. “Third Brother, stop fooling around.” He took a deep breath and limped over. He then looked deeply at the five kids. “Shao Dong, you’re members of the Shao Family. The blood of the Shao Family flows in your veins. How can you think that way? I…”

He pounded a fist on his chest with a pained look on his face. “If you say this, what does that make me? What does that make the Shao Family? How will I meet Second Brother and our ancestors in the future?”

Eldest Brother Shao wanted to say more but was interrupted by Mu Jingzhe. “Oh, the useless bum finally spoke. I thought you were going to hide behind your wife and act like a wimp today. Why is a grown man acting like a white lotus and green tea b*tch? Who are you trying to disgust?

“You’re the one who has the least right to say anything here. You’re living in a new house that your younger brother risked his life for and using your younger brother’s money to raise your children into pigs. With such a terrible bloodline, you really should be worried about meeting Shao Qihai and his ancestors.”

Mu Jingzhe’s words were indeed malicious but they were sincere. She hated Zhao Lan and Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao, but the person she despised the most was still that cowardly loser, Eldest Brother Shao.
