nXiao Mei had become Mu Jingzhe’s follower. Mu Jingzhe couldn’t get rid of her even if she wanted to.

nMeanwhile, seeing that his relationship with Xiao Mei had ended completely, Cao Yang was furious.

nHe really liked Xiao Mei. Besides, he had made a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to woo her. In the end, everything had been ruined. He didn’t dare cause Mu Jingzhe trouble, as he was afraid that he would be sent to the police station. Therefore, he secretly followed Mu Jingzhe and the others home. After finding out where they lived, he went to look for Sister Wei while Mu Jingzhe wasn’t around.

nCao Yang felt that all of this was Sister Wei’s fault. “It’s all your fault. I was fine originally, but everything was ruined because of you!”

nJust like in the past, whenever things didn’t go smoothly for Cao Yang, he tried to blame Sister Wei and scold her to vent his anger. However, this time, he was interrupted by a slap.

n“How dare you hit me!” Cao Yang looked at Sister Wei in disbelief. “How dare you hit me!”

n“Why not?” Sister Wei slapped him again. Before Cao Yang could react, she grabbed his hair. “I’ve wanted to hit you for a long time!”

nIt was as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered for more than ten years in one go. Sister Wei was thin, but she erupted with powerful strength. Cao Yang couldn’t retaliate even if he wanted to.

nSister Wei slapped Cao Yang again and again until her hands hurt.

nCao Yang’s mouth was filled with the smell of blood. He felt afraid as he looked at this person, whom he had despised his entire life. “Mom, please stop hitting me. You’re going to beat me to death!”

nIn his panic, Cao Yang had even called her ‘Mom’.

nSister Wei’s hands trembled when she heard him call her ‘Mom’. Back then, she had made a lot of effort to make Cao Yang call her ‘Mom’, but Cao Yang had never done so before.

nIn the end, he’d actually called her ‘Mom’ after getting a beating today. Sister Wei laughed out loud when she heard that. “Haha! You actually called me ‘Mom’. So, if I wanted you to call me ‘Mom’, I only had to give up on you completely and beat you up?”

nCao Yang felt her pause and felt overjoyed. He thought it had worked, but he hadn’t expected to hear this.

nCao Yang froze, but Sister Wei had lost interest. “How boring. So it was that simple.”

nThis simple method made her feel even more foolish in the past. However, she felt refreshed after those slaps. No wonder Cao Yang used to treat her so badly in the past.

nSister Wei tossed Cao Yang aside. “Get lost. By slapping you today, I’m repaying you for beating me up in the past. From now on, we’re even. Don’t appear in front of me again. I don’t want to see you anymore.

n“If you dare come again, I’ll hit you every time I see you.” Sister Wei waved her fist.

nShe was no longer the person she used to be.

nShe was very satisfied with her fist. Previously, she had seen Shao Qihai teach the children how to punch. After seeing it many times, she had also practiced it a few times. However, she hadn’t expected it to really work.

nShe didn’t know if it was because she had spent too much time with her boss, but she liked to wave her fists now.

nCao Yang left with a face full of suspicion and disbelief, not daring to let out a single fart. After seeing him bully the weak and fear the strong, Sister Wei was a little regretful. If she had known, she would have learned how to hit people in the past. If she had, she wouldn’t have suffered so much.

nAfter suffering such a huge loss, Cao Yang went back to his hometown to complain to his grandmother. Upon hearing that her darling grandson had been beaten up by that woman, she lost it. She followed Cao Yang to Ocean City, wanting to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson.

nIn the end, she was beaten by Sister Wei. Sister Wei had suffered too much at the hands of the old woman, and this time, she finally retaliated for everything.

nSister Wei had run away secretly back then and hadn’t gotten a divorce. This time, when they came looking for her, she used this chance to get a divorce.

nNo one had expected Sister Wei to propose a divorce, as they had taken her for granted.

nAfter Sister Wei got a divorce, she severed all ties with the Cao Family and started a new life.

nWhen she finished dealing with this private matter, she finally went to look for Mu Jingzhe. Meanwhile, Mu Jingzhe had already brought Little Bei back to their hometown.

nBecause they hadn’t finished filming, Little Bei took a leave of absence from school for a while. After filming, she went back with Mu Jingzhe. Sister Wei stayed in Ocean City for the time being and stayed behind to deal with any subsequent matters.

nMu Jingzhe planned to set up a small clothing company. Actually, it was similar to a studio in the modern era, one that made customized outfits. Of course, there were also many other collaborations in the works.

nMu Jingzhe didn’t have time to do all this. Besides getting a divorce, Sister Wei also handled the paperwork for the studio and found an office nearby. The studio was temporarily located there.

nWhen the matter was settled, Sister Wei took the documents and the official seal and went to look for Mu Jingzhe to get her to sign the documents.

nWhen Mu Jingzhe returned this time, she was incredibly busy.

nBack then, Shao Dong had gone to the capital and returned to his hometown before school had reopened. When Shao Xi, Shao Qihai, and Xiao Wu returned, they were busy with school. They had passed the sixth-grade graduation examination previously. This time, when school reopened, they would skip grades and become Grade-7 students, the first grade of middle school. If they were assigned according to their household registration, they should study in town, but the two children had their eyes on the middle school in the county.

nThis was also what Mu Jingzhe had discussed with them long ago. According to the current situation, it wasn’t appropriate for them to stay in the village anymore due to poor accessibility and stuff like that.

nInstead, they used this opportunity to go to the county city. Everything else aside, the county city was much more accessible.

nShao Dong and Shao Xi had taken a fancy to the Southern No. 1 Middle School, the best one in the county. Because the two children had gotten excellent test results, they were tested before entering the school and successfully enrolled.

nXiao Wu also studied in an elementary school in the county city. When school started, he was in the first grade, but when Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei returned, he had already skipped grades and jumped to the third grade.

nXiao Wu had always attended classes previously and learned from his siblings and Mu Jingzhe. With his knowledge reserves, he could easily enter the third grade. He was in such a hurry to skip grades because he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to keep up with his siblings. He was afraid that they would skip grades and he would be left behind, so he skipped grades as well.

nBy skipping grades, he also became famous in school.

nSince the children were all in the county city, she had to worry about where they lived. When Mu Jingzhe didn’t return, she asked Li Zhaodi and the rest to help inquire about housing. Shao Qihai was also looking, but they didn’t manage to find anything suitable for a while.

nShao Dong, Shao Xi, and Xiao Wu temporarily stayed at Shao Qiyang’s place, as well as Li Zhaodi’s place. Compared to Shao Qiyang’s place, the three children preferred to visit Li Zhaodi.

nWhy were Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng in the county city? Because they had opened a bun shop in the county city.

nDuring the summer vacation, Shao Nan stayed in his hometown. Other than reading and learning, he completed the homework assigned by the two professors and teachers. He also did something big. He instigated, or rather suggested, ways for Li Zhaodi and Mu Cheng to open a bun shop in the county city.

nThe bun shop in town wasn’t closed either. It continued to be open. However, instead of manning the shop themselves, they had now hired a person to run it. He’d also suggested that they hire a worker for the shop in the county so they could rest more.

nThe bun shop in town was rented, but the bun shop in the county city had been bought directly. Shao Dong found out that a shop had been put up for sale in the county city, so he asked Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng to buy it because the location was quite good.

nLi Zhaodi and Mu Teng had originally agreed to leave the money to Mu Han so he could marry and buy a house. Because of Shao Dong’s advice, after discussing it with Mu Jingzhe and Mu Han, they gritted their teeth and bought a shop. Now, they were considered official residents of the county city.
