Chapter 283: This Is Retribution

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

That day, Eldest Brother Shao hit Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ for the first time. “When you’re all grown up, you’ll throw me away, huh? How dare you! I raised you. How dare you throw me away!”

“They are the ones who said it. We didn’t say anything!” Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ were very aggrieved.

Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao protected the children and spat, rebuking Eldest Brother Shao. “If you can, go and quarrel with the villagers. Why are you venting your anger on the children? Do you think everyone is stupid and has no idea what you were planning?

“The villagers are talking behind your back and scolding you. How dare you throw your mother away? In the future, when you grow up, Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ will follow suit and throw you away. I always thought that you were just a coward, but I didn’t expect you to do this.”

Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao had completely seen through this person, who even wanted to abandon his biological mother.

Eldest Brother Shao flew into a rage out of humiliation. He looked at Zhao Lan’s room and exploded. He moved to hit Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao. “Who told you to spout this nonsense? Who said that I abandoned my mother? If I deal with that mouth of yours, you’ll see how formidable I am!”

Eldest Brother Shao was a man after all. He grabbed Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao’s hair and punched and kicked her. Soon, blood was drawn.

Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ were frightened very much. When they went to stop Eldest Brother Shao, they also got beaten up. Later on, when the villagers came, they finally managed to persuade Eldest Brother Shao.

However, Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao was heartbroken. That night, she went back to her parents’ house with disheveled hair.

While all that commotion was going on outside, Zhao Lan was crying in the room. “What kind of sin have I committed…”

Shao Qihai was just next door, so he naturally heard this farce clearly. However, he only told the kids to go back to their room so they did not hear it.

Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao returned to her maternal family. Eldest Brother Shao didn’t care about Zhao Lan either. Other than bringing some food in every day, he didn’t care about anything else. Zhao Lan had soiled the bed completely.

Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao returned to her maternal home for three days. Eldest Brother Shao went to pick her up two days in a row and said that he couldn’t do it without her and that Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ couldn’t live without her either.

Eldest Brother Shao brought Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ over. Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ cried and asked Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao to go back. She didn’t have the heart to leave the children, so she could only compromise.

When Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao returned, she entered Zhao Lan’s room. The moment she entered, she was greeted by a stench.

As soon as Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao came back, she was disheartened. When she saw Zhao Lan like this, Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao’s heart turned even colder and more afraid. She didn’t want to care either, but upon looking at Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ, she still did something.

Later on, Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao told them repeatedly, “You can’t learn from your father and ignore your parents. People who do that will suffer retribution.”

Now that Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao was back, Zhao Lan finally looked like a human. However, how could she take care of Zhao Lan every day when she also had to work? Furthermore, it was summer, and it was inevitable that she would stink.

In the past, Zhao Lan had felt bone-deep fondness for Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xǐ. The four kids loved going to Zhao Lan’s room and seeing Zhao Lan conjure delicious food like magic. Now, they hated Zhao Lan’s room the most. The one time they went in, they covered their noses the entire time. After that, they never went there again.

This time, Zhao Lan really suffered greatly and collapsed completely. She also became a little crazy. One moment, she would scold Eldest Brother Shao and say that he was unfilial. The next moment, she would become suspicious and talk to thin air. She would ask Bai Lu if she was looking at her and if she felt good seeing her like this.

She scolded Eldest Brother Shao, Shao Qihai, and Shao Qiyang, but she never scolded Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao.

She would even beg Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao to buy some incense for her because she wanted to burn it for Bai Lu. After all was said and done, she was still fearful of Bai Lu.

Other than burning incense and praying to Buddha, she kept saying nonsense. Zhao Lan also cried a lot, saying that she had given birth to four children, but in the end, she had ended up in a sorry state. After crying and scolding Eldest Brother Shao, she started to resign herself to fate and shout about retribution.

Mu Jingzhe felt that Zhao Lan had finally said something right. This was retribution.

As this news spread, Mu Jingzhe could only say that she deserved it.

Zhao Lan had been biased toward Eldest Brother Shao and had always said that Eldest Brother Shao was filial. In the end, Eldest Brother Shao only knew how to coax people. Shao Qiyun couldn’t be relied on either. On the other hand, Shao Qihai and Shao Qiyang were good. Unfortunately, they had been tormented by her until the last bit of kinship between them had disappeared and they no longer cared about her.

Her “filial” eldest son couldn’t even compare to Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao, who was considered an outsider.

As Zhao Lan’s news kept coming, Mu Jingzhe had already entered the filming set with Little Bei.

This time, Little Bei was considered the female lead, but the real protagonists were another Best Actor and a new actor. Still, the story revolved around Little Bei.

The overall story wasn’t complicated. The movie mainly told the story of two brothers who had a bad relationship with their parents since they were young and their half-sister. The Best Actor was the eldest, and the newcomer was the second son. The younger sister was naturally portrayed by Little Bei.

The Best Actor’s father was an old-fashioned parent who believed that filial children were raised with a stick. He was very strict with his children and was a typical oppressive father. He also had a bad personality and often hit his children. Occasionally, he would even hit his wife.

However, at the time, because all the men had seemed to be like this, no one had said anything. Still, because the Best Actor didn’t listen to his parents and didn’t take the path they had arranged for him, the conflict snowballed later on.

Initially, everything was fine while his mother was mediating between them, but after his mother left, the relationship between the father and son worsened. In the end, they even had a complete fallout with each other.

The younger brother couldn’t persuade them and could only feel anxious. Later on, the Best Actor ran away from home and didn’t contact them for more than ten years. When he finally did, it was when his father died.

In the end, the Best Actor went back and found out that his father had gotten married again and had a daughter. His last words had been that he wanted them to raise their younger sister.

The Best Actor felt that she was a result of his father betraying his mother and didn’t want to care for her at all. However, that younger sister had set her sights on them and did as her father had told her, following the older brother wherever he went.

The Best Actor and his younger brother had no choice but to support their younger sister.

The overall story wasn’t complicated. In the end, the younger sister played by Little Bei entered the hearts of the two older brothers. The siblings supported each other and became a true family.

The latter half of the movie was heartwarming, but the first half was quite funny. The two brothers had never taken care of a younger sister before, yet they were forced to take care of her. They were sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, which resulted in a lot of funny scenes. The script was hilarious, and the live scenes even more so.

Mu Jingzhe laughed as she read it.

Little Bei was really talented. Previously, the role she had taken on had been a little bitter. This time, her character was pure, mischievous, and comical. The two of them looked like father-and-daughter, but in reality, they were siblings. Their day-to-day lives made people laugh out loud.

Although this was the first time the three of them worked together, they had great chemistry. One of them was the Best Actor, and the other was the youngest Best Actress. Needless to say, their acting skills were outstanding. The new actor was also very impressive.

Mu Jingzhe laughed happily every day. Although she was amused, it was also because the Best Actor was very handsome and the new actor was very cute.

The Best Actor’s surname was Shen, and his name was Han. Because his mother’s surname was Shen and his father’s surname was Han, he had taken his mother’s surname, which was also a legendary example of marrying into a family.

Shen Han was 32 years old and was much more mature than the new actor. The new actor’s surname was Bai, and his name was also Bai. Because his name was a little strange, it was easy for people to remember it.

Bai Bai was very humble and worked hard on the scene. He was full of vigor, hardworking, and adorable, making Mu Jingzhe sigh countless times over how good it was to be young.

Bai Bai was charming. If he was considered fresh, sweet fruit juice, then Shen Han was a mature wine with great flavor.. His appearance and aura were simply mesmerizing.
