Chapter 337: Giving Mommy a Car
Little Bei paid Little Zhaodi’s school fees anonymously. Little Zhaodi thought that having warm clothes to wear was already the best that could happen. She hadn’t expected such a good thing.
Although the help came anonymously and she wasn’t able to find out who it was, Little Zhaodi was certain that Little Bei had helped her.
One’s effort could change another person’s fate.
And Little Bei’s actions had really changed Little Zhaodi’s fate.
Little Zhaodi was now able to go to school. Although she wasn’t extremely smart, she was very conscientious about her work. Her elementary school results had always been good. Later on, thanks to Little Bei’s continuous sponsors.h.i.+p, she even managed to enter junior high.
It was in junior high that Little Zhaodi’s running talent was discovered at a sports meet. In the early years, Mu Jingzhe had been right to say that she had flying legs. She was quite talented athletically.
Later on, her partic.i.p.ation in compet.i.tions was constantly revealing. She became an athlete and even brought glory to the country. She became a world champion that many people knew about.
This champion loved to eat White Rabbit Milk Candy and would always remember her benefactor, Little Bei. She was a true, hardcore fan of Little Bei and had an urge to beat up whoever dared to speak ill of Little Bei.
Later on, Little Zhaodi’s coach said that Little Zhaodi was actually the least worrisome athlete. Other athletes would have various problems. Even though Little Zhaodi also had problems, on the field, when she wasn’t in a good state, if you wanted to stimulate her energy, you only needed one method.
The slightest mention of Little Bei, be it praise or a scolding, had a stimulating effect on this person.
However, Little Zhaodi wouldn’t hit someone because Little Bei had already warned her not to. She was an athlete, so she couldn’t hit someone lest it would prevent her from competing. Little Zhaodi had always remembered Little Bei’s words and used other methods, using running to vent her anger and agitation.
The story of Little Bei and Little Zhaodi was relished by many people later on, but this would all happen in the future.
At the moment, Little Bei only wanted to allow Little Zhaodi, who envied them for going to school, to also go to school.
Sometimes, when someone helped someone else, not only would the person being helped feel blissful, but the person helping would also feel happy because they had done something meaningful. It was like that for Little Bei.
Mu Jingzhe was very happy to see that Little Bei was completely different from how she had been depicted in the original novel.
They were happy, but Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao was almost angered to death. The child-bride-slash-helper she had gotten had vanished just like that. Furthermore, she had been badly frightened by the police and had even been taught a lesson by the villagers.
Besides, now that Zhaodi’s parents had run away, her money had completely gone to waste. She wouldn’t be able to get it back at all.
She had already lied to the police about this, so she couldn’t openly ask for it. She was so angry that she almost ascended to heaven directly.
She was already angry enough, but in the end, Eldest Brother Shao and the children still blamed her. Eldest Brother Shao scolded her for wasting money. Their family had little money to begin with, and now they were even poorer.
Eldest Brother Shao blamed her, while Fu, Lu, and Shou despised and resented her. They were going through a sensitive period now. After the incident with Little Zhaodi, they were criticized and mocked by the villagers, who teased them for hankering after a wife at such a young age.
The people in the village were even worse. They said that they were desperate and had no standards at all to fancy a coal-ball-like girl like Little Zhaodi.
The house was in chaos again. It was difficult for Eldest Brother Shao to gain the upper hand. He then started getting smug again and ordered Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao to do this and that.
Despite clearly knowing that the enemy who had caused all this was Mu Jingzhe, Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao couldn’t take revenge. She was extremely aggrieved.
She could only keep begging the heavens to make Mu Jingzhe suffer misfortune for being a busybody. However, the heavens seemed to be blind and didn’t hear Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao’s prayers at all. Instead, Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao went on to suffer an even greater blow.
In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival came. That day, the five kids bought a car for Mu Jingzhe.
That’s right, the five children bought a car together and gave it to Mu Jingzhe as a mid-autumn gift.
When the news spread, the entire village wene into an uproar. Li Zhaodi, who had gone home to celebrate the New Year, was overjoyed. The car was clearly a gift for Mu Jingzhe, but she was even more excited than Mu Jingzhe. She danced around as if she had pa.s.sed the provincial civil service examination or something.
Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao also went crazy, though in her case, it was from anger. She had yet to adjust her mentality and was praying for Mu Jingzhe to be unlucky. Even after so many prayers, Mu Jingzhe ended up even more blissful.
When she saw the car parked at the door, Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao rolled her eyes and fainted from anger.
Mu Jingzhe, who was standing in the crowd, looked at Li Zhaodi, who was dancing with joy, then at Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao, who had fainted from anger.
“…”
She should be the one fainting from excitement, right? Them s.n.a.t.c.hing her scenes like this really affected her performance.
Mu Jingzhe’s reaction had been s.n.a.t.c.hed by the two of them, but there was nothing she could do. However, this didn’t mean that she wasn’t thrilled.
She hadn’t expected to receive a car as a gift in her lifetime. Besides, this wasn’t the modern era, when one could buy a second-hand car for even a few thousand yuan, but a previous era.
The kids had previously said that they would buy her a car when they had money, but… how did the filial words that the children had said to cheer her up come true?
“Mommy, why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t you like this color?”
“I do. I’m just too shocked.” Mu Jingzhe pinched herself. “Why did you secretly do something so major?”
“We wanted to surprise you.” It was rare for Shao Dong to be overjoyed.
“But this surprise is too big. How did you get the money for a car?”
“I only paid a small portion. Most of the money came from Eldest Brother, Little Bei, and Second Brother. Xiao Wu also paid quite a lot,” Shao Nan explained.
Although the five of them had bought it together, the amount they’d each paid was different.
“The refrigerator is selling well.” Shao Dong only said this much.
The sales of Good Brother Refrigerator had been very good ever since it had been launched, so Shao Dong felt that it was time.
“You guys are really… Seriously!” Mu Jingzhe didn’t know how to express her excitement. She couldn’t help but hug them and grin from ear to ear. “It’s worth it. This life is worth it.”
“It’s so worth it.” The five kids were also very happy. Their wish to buy a car for their mother when they’d been given a lift in Tang Moling’s car had finally come true.
Mu Jingzhe wanted to say a few more words to express the joy in her heart. When the villagers heard the news, more and more people came to check out the car. After seeing enough of it, they asked Mu Jingzhe to try driving it.
Mu Jingzhe had no problem driving, but… she hadn’t gotten her license yet.
“I’ll get my driver’s license first. I’ll drive it when I get it.”
Previously, seeing that the driver’s license was so difficult to get and she was so busy, Mu Jingzhe had put it off. But now, it seemed like she couldn’t delay it any longer. No matter how difficult it was, she had to get it.
“Mommy, you can do it! We believe in you!” The five kids clenched their fists and cheered Mu Jingzhe on.
“I will do it.”
Li Zhaodi didn’t encourage her. He just forced her to do it. “Jingzhe, you have to get a driver’s license within a month. I want to take a ride in your car.”
Mu Jingzhe: “…”
She didn’t dare disagree. “I’ll try my best.”
Because she felt so proud, Li Zhaodi waved her hand. “I’ll treat everyone today. I’ll treat everyone to mooncakes.”
Mu Jingzhe had made mooncakes, but the quant.i.ty was limited. Therefore, Li Zhaodi went to town to buy some more.
