Transmigrating To The 80s To Become Stepmom To Five Bigwigs Chapter 132 - I'm The One Being Beaten Up By My Wife

Chapter 132: I’m The One Being Beaten Up By My Wife

Jiang Feng didn’t notice Shao Qihai’s stiff expression and was still fantasizing. “When they find out it’s you in the future, sister-in-law will definitely be touched. Then, you’ll have made amends for your mistake, Brother. Sister-in-law and the children won’t blame you.”

Shao Qihai: “…”

That might not be the case. After all, she had thought he was an old pervert.

Shao Qihai was facing difficulties that he couldn’t speak of, but Jiang Feng was envious of their relations.h.i.+p. “Brother Hai, you’re protecting sister-in-law in the dark. Sister-in-law is loyal and devoted and is taking care of the children for you. This is really touching.

“I also want such a relations.h.i.+p in the future.” Jiang Feng was a little shy, but because of his close relations.h.i.+p with Shao Qihai, he still chuckled and said, “After this matter is over, I will also find a good girl that I will spend my entire life protecting.”

After saying this, Jiang Feng suddenly frowned. “Speaking of that, I remembered that guy next door who beat his wife up. Say, he’s a grown man, so how can he beat his wife? He can’t even protect and love his wife. He didn’t have the ability and had to find grievances outside, so he hit a woman when he came back home? What kind of man is he?

“When I came out earlier, I saw him lying drunk on the side of the road. I slapped him a few times to wake him up, then took the opportunity to kick him a few times.”

After Jiang Feng finished claiming credit, he suddenly asked curiously, “Brother Hai, have you and sister-in-law fought before?”

The question came too suddenly. Shao Qihai, who had just been pa.s.sively hit, was instantly at a loss for words.

Jiang Feng had merely asked out of curiosity, but he hadn’t expected Shao Qihai to be left speechless by his casual question. Seeing his stiff expression, Jiang Feng added, “Brother Hai, you…”

He covered his mouth and lowered his voice. “Brother Hai, you can’t be serious. Don’t tell me you have hit sister-in-law? I just said that domestic violence is bad. Don’t tell me you’re like Old Qin! Gentle and refined on the outside but someone who hits his wife in private.”

Old Qin was a former comrade-in-arms. He usually acted well and appeared to be a good person in front of everyone. He was also serious about his work. Unexpectedly, there was something problematic about him—he was beating his wife.

It was said that he had grown up like that. He had seen his father beat his mother up since he was young and had gotten used to it. He felt that if his wife wasn’t obedient, he should beat her up. Later on, he was severely criticized.

Back then, Jiang Feng had been disillusioned when he’d found out. He had thought that Old Qin was the only one who did that. He hadn’t expected Brother Hai to do the same.

Shao Qihai looked at Jiang Feng’s anxious expression. “I have not. I don’t hit women.”

He’d only hesitated because he was the one who had been beaten up!

“Really? You really don’t resort to domestic violence?” Jiang Feng wanted to confirm it.

Shao Qihai: “…”

He was speechless for a moment before declaring firmly, “No!”

How could he resort to domestic violence? To put it bluntly, he was the one being abused.

He had already been abused once and had almost been crippled.

At that moment, Shao Qihai finally remembered the worry that he hadn’t recalled in the afternoon.

If he went back, after finding out that he wasn’t dead, would Mu Jingzhe be so angry that she’d hit him again?

Shao Qihai looked down and rubbed his face. If he was beaten up again, he might really be crippled.

Not far away, Mu Jingzhe, who was applying medicine on Little Bei’s face, sneezed. Her ears also felt a little hot. “Who’s badmouthing me behind my back?”

“Mommy, you’re so wonderful. No one would say bad things about you. They must be saying something good,” Little Bei immediately answered.

Mu Jingzhe laughed. Those who had been beaten up by her today might not agree.

The next day, Mu Jingzhe heard that the person she’d caught yesterday had indeed been the culprit. His fingerprints were a match, and it was discovered that he had also been involved in other cases.

His nickname was Three Seconds. He was involved in many cases and was a very dangerous person. Even the police had to protect their own safety when they encountered him.

Who would have thought that the fellow would be beaten up into that state by Mu Jingzhe and brought to the police station?

This time, when Mu Jingzhe went to the police station again, everyone looked at her differently. “How did you provoke this group of people? We just caught a batch of them previously. They’re all outlaws who only care about profit.”

“I don’t know either. They just started targeting me for no reason. It’s been happening ever since we went to the city last time.”

“You’re really unlucky. But you’re also lucky that you were able to catch the culprit.”

“It’s also because someone helped me yesterday. Otherwise, I might not have been able to do it.” Mu Jingzhe was still scared. “Have you guys found the grandpa I mentioned yesterday?”

“No.” The police officer shook his head. “We’ll continue searching. We’ll contact you when we find him. Be careful in the future. I heard that some of them are still on the run.”

“Some of them are still on the run?” Mu Jingzhe frowned when she heard that. “Don’t tell me they’re still after me?”

“I don’t think so, but you should stay safe nonetheless.”

“Okay.” Of course she would pay attention to her safety. In fact, she still feared being surrounded by a crowd after that traumatizing incident.

This trip to Ocean City hadn’t gone smoothly either. Seeing that this matter had been resolved, Mu Jingzhe hurriedly bought some things and embarked on the trip back.

Shao Qiyang had already returned. However, to avoid making the boys worry, Mu Jingzhe had told him not to tell them yet. They could tell them about it when they returned.

The boys only knew that the filming process had dragged on, but they didn’t know what had happened to Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei. It was only when the two of them got home that they found out that something had happened again. They couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Little Bei’s injuries were more serious than Mu Jingzhe’s, but they had been treated in time and weren’t too serious. The doctor said that if she applied medicine properly, they wouldn’t leave too many scars.

On the other hand, there was a small scar on Mu Jingzhe’s forehead. It wasn’t too ugly, but it was still a little eye-catching.

“It should fade after a while. It’s fine.”

Mu Jingzhe didn’t take it seriously, but the children weren’t pleased when they saw it.

Mu Jingzhe’s skin was fair. Although the scar wasn’t big, it was very eye-catching and uncomfortable to look at.

Li Zhaodi, who specifically came to visit after hearing that they’d returned, was not satisfied either. “How can it be fine? You’re a girl, so it won’t look good if it leaves a scar.”

How could she be fine when she had been disfigured? Li Zhaodi rolled her eyes at Mu Jingzhe and muttered that she had been through a lot. Li Zhaodi said she would look for medicine to remove her scar.

People in the countryside tended to know some folk remedies. Li Zhaodi went back to the Mu Residence to get the medicine.

The Mu Residence was bustling with noise and excitement because Tang Moling had come again. Ever since their engagement, Mu Xue and Tang Moling had returned to their initial sweet state, and things had been very calm for a while.

Especially during this period, when Mu Jingzhe hadn’t been around, everything had been calm.

This time, Tang Moling had come to discuss taking Mu Xue to meet his elders. As the engagement had been held in a hurry, the elders on Tang Moling’s side had yet to meet Mu Xue.

After this meeting, it was expected that the wedding would be held at the end of the year.

After all, Mu Xue would be 24 years old after New Year’s. In this era, an unmarried woman of her age was considered a spinster.

Old Lady Mu didn’t want Mu Xue to get married after she turned 24. She thought that Mu Xue should at least get married while she was still 23. Old Lady Mu thought very highly of this meeting with his parents and started asking around a few days earlier what Tang Moling’s elders liked so that she could prepare a gift.

Although countryside folks couldn’t afford very precious gifts, they at least had to show their sincerity.

When Li Zhaodi went back, Old Lady Mu and the rest were busy choosing gifts. Upon seeing Li Zhaodi return, Old Lady Mu stiffened and ignored her.
