Chapter 260: Who Will Try On The Men’s Underwear?

In the past year, many of Shao Dong’s 100 wishes had been fulfilled, but there were also some that needed time to fulfill. For example, his wish to go to Bai Lu’s grave to offer incense to her.
Mu Jingzhe had kept the wish in her heart after seeing it last year. She had also thought of taking them there, but she didn’t know if she could go this year.
In the past, Mu Jingzhe would definitely have taken them there. However, now that Shao Qihai was back, it was more suitable for Shao Qihai to bring them along.
After dinner, when Shao Qihai came out after washing the dishes, he saw Mu Jingzhe waving at him. “I have something to speak to you about.”
“What is it?”
“Come over here first.”
Shao Qiyang looked at Shao Qihai and Mu Jingzhe’s backs and lowered his head. He walked out of the courtyard, not wanting to see the two of them interacting.
After this period of time, Shao Qiyang could finally face the two of them together, eat with them, and interact naturally with them.
Of course, there was still some discomfort, but it was a little better than before. Shao Qiyang had hesitated before, especially when he had seen that Mu Jingzhe still planned to get a divorce. He had also noticed that she and Shao Qihai still slept in separate rooms and didn’t look like a married couple.
However, as the days passed, Mu Jingzhe still wouldn’t get a divorce, nor did she have the chance to do so. Due to the fetters of the children and the many things that had happened previously, Shao Qiyang’s feelings slowly faded.
They had to fade. Now that Shao Qihai was back, even if he and Mu Jingzhe really divorced in the future, as her younger brother-in-law, he couldn’t rush to confess his love immediately. Otherwise, the gossip would be unimaginable.
If two brothers fought over a woman, it wouldn’t be any better than when Shao Qihai had been dead. In fact, the situation might even be worse.
If Shao Qihai was gone, everyone would just gossip about it for a period of time. As time passed, it would pass as well. However, since Shao Qihai was still alive, everyone would always remember this.
Shao Qiyang could tell what Shao Qihai was thinking. As he watched him cook, wash the dishes, wash the clothes, and take care of the children, shouldering responsibility for family matters and doing things that many men wouldn’t do, he knew how much Shao Qihai cared.
It seemed like Shao Qihai had really forgotten about Mu Xue and truly wanted to live with Mu Jingzhe. If he interfered, they probably wouldn’t be able to be brothers anymore.
Shao Qiyang couldn’t really give up his biological older brother for love. Besides, Mu Jingzhe might not necessarily accept him.
It should be said that Mu Jingzhe wouldn’t accept him. She had treated him as her brother-in-law right from the start.
Even an outstanding person like Ji Buwang was still just waiting, let alone someone like him. Shao Qiyang knew his limitations.
Like an invisible person, he hadn’t done anything. Ultimately, the reason for that was Mu Jingzhe’s attitude.
In the end, he still had to give up on Mu Jingzhe and try to forget her.
Shao Qiyang walked aimlessly toward the river amid the evening breeze. After walking for a while, he suddenly heard slapping sounds. When he came back to his senses, he saw Mu Xue.
Mu Xue was squatting by the river and washing clothes on a rock by the river. She was hitting the clothes with a washing rod, her movements still a little rusty.
Ever since that conversation with the five kids last time, Mu Xue felt quite upset. Later on, she’d said that she would wash the clothes herself, but she wasn’t proficient at it. When the villagers saw her, they would tease her and laugh at her for not even knowing how to wash clothes.
Wanting to avoid them, Mu Xue came when no one was around. She was always paying attention to people and had also heard this commotion. When she turned around and saw Shao Qiyang, she quickly turned her back to him. In the end, she accidentally bumped into the enamel basin containing the clothes beside her.
The enamel basin slid into the river and floated away along with the water.
Mu Xue cried out in surprise and quickly chased after the basin, but she simply wasn’t as fast as the flowing water. Fortunately, the river curved and the current quickly eased. The enamel basin stopped and moved in circles in the water.
Mu Xue heaved a sigh of relief but then felt frustrated. The reason the enamel basin stopped was mainly because there was a puddle there. However, the puddle was quite deep, so she didn’t dare enter the water to retrieve it.
Raising her head to look at Shao Qiyang, who was not far away, Mu Xue wanted to ask for help but was afraid of being rejected. She hesitated for a moment and, not wanting to continue embarrassing herself, lowered her head and prepared to go home.
Shao Qiyang wasn’t blind, so he was watching everything. When he saw that she was about to leave, he frowned. “You don’t want the basin anymore?”
“I can’t get it…”
“Don’t you know how to pull it over with a stick?” Shao Qiyang was speechless. He felt that Mu Xue was a tad too stupid. Why hadn’t he realized this before?
“Oh, oh, right.” Mu Xue quickly found a stick. When she finally retrieved the enamel basin, she heaved a sigh of relief. She raised her head to thank Shao Qiyang, but he had already disappeared.
The smile on Mu Xue’s face instantly disappeared as well. In the past, she hadn’t paid much attention to Shao Qiyang, but now, she felt that he had changed a lot and become much more mature.
Mu Xue quickly gathered her clothes and went home before the sky turned completely dark.
Shao Qiyang, on the other hand, only went back after dark. However, Mu Jingzhe and Shao Qihai weren’t saying anything intimate, like Shao Qiyang had imagined. Instead, they were talking about serious matters.
Mu Jingzhe had just mentioned Shao Dong’s 100 wishes when she saw Shao Qihai’s eyes suddenly dart to the side.
She turned around and guessed that he had probably seen the design drafts of her undergarments. She took a look and casually put them away, not taking it to heart.
She still had to try making designs at home in the future. This was just a blueprint, and there was nothing on it one couldn’t look at. Thus, she continued.
“Last year, I asked Shao Dong to write 100 wishes and think more about himself. One of these wishes was his hope to go to Bai Lu’s grave one day and kowtow. It’ll be her death anniversary soon. Do you want to take them there?”
When Shao Qihai heard the words ‘Bai Lu’s death anniversary’, his mind instantly jolted back to reality. He no longer cared about the sketch.
“They indeed haven’t been there.” Shao Qihai’s voice was a little low. “I should take them to visit. Then you…”
“Since you’re back, I won’t be coming with you guys,” Mu Jingzhe immediately said.
Shao Qihai looked at Mu Jingzhe and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and didn’t say anything. “Then I’ll find some time to ask them about it.”
“Mm.” Mu Jingzhe nodded with a calm expression.
Shao Qihai looked at her and couldn’t help but ask, “You… You don’t mind?”
“Mind what?” Mu Jingzhe was puzzled. “Bai Lu worked really hard to give birth to them and even lost her life. They should have gone there to kowtow to her a long time ago.”
Actually, Shao Qihai wasn’t just asking if she minded about this, but it didn’t seem to occur to Mu Jingzhe at all, so he didn’t mention it.
As for whether they were going to kowtow on Bai Lu’s death anniversary, for the next two days, it was unknown if Shao Qihai had asked the kids or not. In any case, he didn’t give Mu Jingzhe an answer, so Mu Jingzhe continued to busy herself with the bras and panties.
After buying another batch of fabric, she started trying to make some.
When the samples were washed, Mu Jingzhe tried them on her own. She also asked Li Fang and the others to help her try the undergarments based on their different figures. This was all fine. But here was the problem: If the men’s designs were made, who should she ask to try them on?
It didn’t seem appropriate for Shao Qihai, Shao Qiyang, or Ji Buwang to try them on. Mu Teng was a little old, and Mu Han wasn’t at home either.
“Forget it, let’s not think about it. If it doesn’t work out, let’s just make the women’s version for the time being. We’ll talk about the men’s version after it’s made.” In any case, they would definitely find someone to try the underwear on.
