Chapter 397: Are You Crazy? You Actually Looked For Shao Qiyun

Mu Jingzhe held a family meeting with the children. Later on, the children took action, and the safety and fire escape education of the various schools was launched in full swing. The Education Bureau also took this very seriously.

The school specifically spent one day educating the children and even rehearsed how they’d escape if there was a fire, warning them not to be curious or play with the flames.

Because of curiosity or mischief, some children would randomly light a match or lighter. In the end, this would lead to disaster. Such scenes constantly played out in the entire country. They had to let them know the severity of the matter.

After school, the factories of the various units also started working. Almost the entire county was focused on spreading fire safety knowledge.

The people at their school and other units were also tasked with writing essays and summaries.

It did work. For example, the children now knew that they couldn’t play with fire recklessly. The adults also knew that they had to be responsible if their children played with fire, and they could easily go bankrupt as a result. If someone died, they would be finished.

The entire county went through a week of anti-fire educational exercises. They were also taught the spirit of firefighters, as well as the dangers of their work. It was very educational.

Later on, they gradually learned how to escape from an earthquake and rehearsed how to do so. Although some of this knowledge would later be forgotten over time, they would always remember some of it. Later on, it even became a life-saving trump card for everyone.

Mu Jingzhe participated in all of this because this education was not only meant for the children, but also for the parents. It was better for the parents to recognize the danger and set a good example.

Although Xiao Wu’s injury wasn’t serious, it still hurt for the first two days. When it hurt, he would apply medicine and he would only be able to sleep on his stomach.

Sleeping on his stomach wasn’t very comfortable. In the end, Mu Jingzhe hugged Xiao Wu and asked him to sleep a little longer.

Even though Xiao Wu had slowly grown taller and now had longer limbs, he still slept the most soundly in Mu Jingzhe’s arms.

Because of this incident, the scarf that Mu Jingzhe had nearly finished knitting was delayed for a few days before it was finally sent out.

Ji Buwang was overjoyed when he saw the scarf. “For me? You… You knitted this for me?”

“No, I bought it.” Mu Jingzhe shook her head.

Upon seeing Mu Jingzhe deny it, Ji Buwang immediately confirmed that she was the one who had knitted it. He was so pleased that he almost floated up in the sky. He hadn’t deliberately not worn a scarf and let his neck stay cold.

Just as he finished thinking, a gust of wind blew over and drilled right into his neck. Ji Buwang couldn’t help but shiver.

“This is great. I just so happen to be cold.” Ji Buwang smiled and started to put on the scarf.

Mu Jingzhe snorted and thought, ‘Still pretending?’

Previously, Ji Buwang had worn many scarves, including some made of wool and other materials. They all matched his clothes nicely.

He clearly used to have many of them in the past, but this year, he didn’t have a single one. He kept shivering in the cold and staring at her as he shivered. Hadn’t he clearly been hinting at her giving one to him?

Sometimes, Ji Buwang was very childish and would resort to such cheap tricks, but his childishness was quite cute.

As Mu Jingzhe was thinking, she saw Ji Buwang clumsily tie the scarf around his neck. No matter how she looked at it, it didn’t look good.

“Tie it better. You’ve made my beautiful scarf look ugly.” Mu Jingzhe reached out to help him fix it, and Ji Buwang immediately bent down.

After Mu Jingzhe tied it for him, she nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, it’s nice and warm now.”

After saying that, she saw Ji Buwang blinking at her. Mu Jingzhe suddenly realized that Ji Buwang did know how to wear a scarf!

“You did it on purpose!” This was the first time she realized that Ji Buwang could act like this! If a vicious supporting character had used such a cheap trick, they would definitely have been scolded to death.

“I didn’t.” Ji Buwang denied it but couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes.

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but laugh when she saw him, but after a moment, there was unconcealed frustration between her brows. Ji Buwang could tell at a glance. “Are you worried about Shao Qiyun?”

“Mm.” Mu Jingzhe nodded. If anyone else had saved Xiao Wu, their family would have gone to thank them long ago. In the end, it had turned out to be Shao Qiyun.

“Shao Qihai went to take a look. He said that she rented a house. It’s said that she has already paid off the loan sharks. When she returned to the county city, she wanted to start from scratch. She’s completely changed. It’s said that she’s selling homemade tofu now.”

Tofu was something one would eat on a daily basis. It was also cheap. After Shao Qiyun had rented a house, she’d started selling tofu. Her business wasn’t good or bad, but it did seem like she had changed. She no longer came to their door to acknowledge Xiao Wu like before, nor did she look for trouble. Even after saving Xiao Wu, she didn’t make a sound and she was very obedient.

However, even now, Mu Jingzhe found it hard to let her guard down around her, especially since Xiao Wu had suddenly said that he wanted to thank her.

“Last night, Xiao Wu suddenly said that he hadn’t gone to thank her. I don’t know what he is thinking.” In the past, Xiao Wu had been afraid of Shao Qiyun, but now, he wasn’t afraid anymore. However, Mu Jingzhe felt strange.

Ji Buwang frowned slightly and said, “I don’t think she’s up to anything. He only wants to thank her out of politeness, like an ordinary person. Judging from the way you’re frowning, are you a little jealous that Xiao Wu is going to see her when you’re his dearest mother?”

“How is that possible?” Mu Jingzhe laughed. “What dearest mother? I’m just surprised that Xiao Wu took the initiative to mention Shao Qiyun.”

“Since you’re so worried, why don’t you ask Xiao Wu directly?”

“I asked. He said that he was especially terrified when Shao Qiyun suddenly appeared and helped him. He’ll always remember it in his heart.”

“Then let him go. Surely he’s not going to acknowledge Shao Qiyun as his mother and cast you aside.”

Mu Jingzhe thought that his words made sense. “Let’s go then. I’ll graciously go with him. How can Xiao Wu not acknowledge me?” Hmph, that was impossible!

Mu Jingzhe felt a little embarrassed after saying that. “I’ve been overthinking all this time.” In the past, she definitely wouldn’t have thought so much. It could also be because she was so close to the children.

On the weekend, Mu Jingzhe and Xiao Wu went to look for her. Feeling worried, Shao Qihai also joined them. Meanwhile, the other four kids were temporarily unaware.

Shao Qiyun seemed to be very surprised to see them. Her eyes lit up as she looked at Xiao Wu. She kept checking his wound and only heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that he was fine.

After disappearing for a period of time and returning, Shao Qiyun had changed very much. It seemed like she had even regained her maternal instincts. However, with Shao Qihai and Mu Jingzhe around, she didn’t say much. She only said that she had done what needed to be done.

Following this trip, although Mu Jingzhe didn’t understand why she would suddenly come back, she knew that the debt collectors had indeed stopped chasing her. After observing for a few days, she realized that she was honestly selling tofu and didn’t seem to be up to something, so she slowly relaxed.

However, after a while, a conflict suddenly broke out at home. Only then did Mu Jingzhe realize that this matter wasn’t over.

“I knew it. You’ve been coming back late these days. So you went to see Shao Qiyun. You clearly know what sort of a person she is, yet you still went to see her! Not only did you go, but you even spent money to buy things for her. If I hadn’t followed you and found out, would you have kept it from us?!”

Shao Xi’s voice was filled with fury, and Mu Jingzhe was stunned when she heard it.
