Chapter 350: Can’t Become a Spinster

Director Jiang was extremely agitated, so he had to agitate others and cover up this matter.

It would take time to complete the post-production work and everything else, but Little Bei had basically finished everything that she could do. At most, she would cooperate with the publicity team post-production.

After filming wrapped up, Little Bei and Shao Nan could completely go back to being themselves.

Little Bei wore a wig and started growing out her hair. When it was no longer so short, she slowly stopped wearing a wig.

After the winter break, the children continued to study and got on track. Mu Jingzhe officially started preparing to move the hair ornament factory.

During this period, Mu Jingzhe even celebrated her birthday on?Jingzhe1. As she was still in the production team, Mu Jingzhe emphasized that others should not give her presents, especially the children. They had just given her a car, and she couldn’t let them spend any more money on her. However, the children still went over and performed a birthday dance for her.

Shao Dong and Shao Xi had grown a lot, so Shao Dong’s stiffness was even more eye-catching this time. However, it was all recorded by Mu Jingzhe, who said that she wanted to keep it to view it in the future.

Little Bei immediately said that they would perform a birthday dance for Mu Jingzhe every year from now on. This was naturally good for Mu Jingzhe and a complete surprise, but Shao Dong found it a little depressing.

It was fine when he was young, but it would be awkward for him to dance when he grew up. However, upon looking at Mu Jingzhe’s shining eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse.

Shao Dong, who was becoming steadier and steadier, rarely had a difficult expression on his face, but at that moment, it was obvious from his facial expression that he had been put in a difficult position. If this was going to happen every year, should he learn how to dance properly?

This was even harder than doing business.

As for Shao Qihai and Ji Buwang, Mu Jingzhe had told them in advance not to celebrate her birthday and that she wouldn’t accept gifts. She had also told them to busy themselves with their own matters and not come over.

Ji Buwang and Shao Qihai: “…”

She might as well have just outright told them that they had been abandoned, that in her heart, the children were more important.

Mu Jingzhe was extremely glad that she had made this decision. Spending her birthday with just the five children was nice. It was fulfilling and warm. She didn’t have to pay attention to anything else. She just had to be happy.

Although she had said that she wasn’t holding a birthday celebration, they didn’t dispense with the longevity noodles and the birthday cake. Plus, they were specifically made by the children. Little Bei didn’t have the time to learn how to make them, but the boys learned.

Shao Dong waved his hand and generously treated the entire crew to a meal, gaining another wave of favorability.

She was very happy on her birthday, and everything went smoothly when she came back to move the factory.

Although it was in the village, the factory had already taken shape. It was just that the location was being moved to the county city. Mu Jingzhe hadn’t hidden it from the female workers, so they were already mentally prepared. None of them resigned, and they were all prepared to follow her.

The hair ornament factory was just across the street from a canned beverage factory. Since they had already moved the factory, they naturally had to expand the production and make it more formal.

There was a need to recruit more workers. Considering the actual situation, a men’s and women’s dormitory was set up. Four workers would share a dormitory, and the workers were free to live there. Like many factory workers, they would rest one day per week.

On the day they moved the factory, many people from Great Eastern Village were mobilized. Not only did they help, but they even signed up to see if they could be recruited.

After the factory was moved, it quickly got back on track. The female workers also adapted quickly and started working in the county city.

Some of them weren’t married. Because they were moving to the county city, some of them weren’t even in a hurry to get engaged, thinking that they might find someone better and settle down in the county city.

Although it was a little troublesome for the married young women who had children, it wasn’t impossible to adapt. Some of the husbands directly got a job at the canned goods factory across the street. As for the couples that were working in the county together, it would be better for them to rent a house.

The husbands who didn’t work stayed at home to take care of their children and would pick up their wives from work every weekend.

The women going to work had effectively switched the traditional gender roles. Now, it was the women who were earning money to support the family, while the men mainly took care of the children and all domestic matters.

Other than a small portion who weren’t used to it at first, they were all used to it now. In the past, they would often send food to their wives. Now, they washed clothes, cooked, and did the dishes. They handled pretty much all the household chores.

Seeing that their daughters-in-law were earning money, the mothers-in-law didn’t say anything. At most, they would just mutter a few words in private. When their daughter-in-law was present, they had to coax her.

As long as one had income, they would be able to stand tall. A person’s income determined their family status. This saying wasn’t wrong. Their lives were watched by the women of Great Eastern Village. Nowadays, many villagers were very motivated and kept thinking of ways to make money.

Great Eastern Village’s vibe was completely different now. When the villagers went out, they could present themselves as knowledgeable. Although many people were still illiterate, they could easily talk about what was illegal and things like that when they went out.

This was all thanks to Mu Jingzhe, who liked to look for the police for everything. She used real-life cases to help everyone understand what was illegal. That aside, there was also the village’s little expert, Shao Nan.

The villagers of Great Eastern Village gained fame throughout the surrounding villages as their income increased. More and more people came to Great Eastern Village to propose marriage, and the thresholds of the homes of people who had daughters were almost broken from usage.

Mu Jingzhe looked very happy, but she also felt slightly troubled. This was because ever since Li Zhaodi had celebrated her birthday with her, she had started nagging her about already being 23 years old. It was time for her to make some plans. Otherwise, she would become a spinster.

In short, if she didn’t want a divorce, she should quickly do you-know-what with Shao Qihai. If she wanted a divorce, she should get one quickly. She didn’t want Mu Jingzhe to become a spinster.

“What if you still haven’t settled down at 24 or 25? I gave birth to you when I was 21. You can’t delay it any longer.”

In the past, Li Zhaodi had been happy that Mu Jingzhe was still a virgin, but in the blink of an eye, her attitude had changed. It wouldn’t do if she said that she was still a spinster despite being 24 or 25.

“Mom, I’m only 23 years old. What’s the hurry?” At this age, one had just graduated from university in the modern era. It was such a young age. She was glad that she was still very young.

“How can you not be anxious? Do you want to mimic Mu Xue again? She’s already 26 years old. According to the Chinese calendar, she’s already 27 or 28 years old and she still hasn’t gotten married. That’s a spinster through and through. You should go listen to what the villagers are saying about her.”

In the past, Mu Xue used to be the most outstanding and popular girl in Great Eastern Village. However, in the past two to three years, everything had changed. Now, she had become the most unpopular girl in the village.

She had almost gotten married twice, once with Shao Qihai and once with Tang Moling, but in the end, both engagements had been broken off.

As a teacher in the village, she was still outstanding in terms of job and appearance. However, because of Old Lady Mu’s claim that she had been born for riches, she had become the oldest unmarried girl in the village. Mu Xue’s status in the village had thus been overturned.

From the most popular girl in the village, she had become a picky spinster.

Actually, it wasn’t true that no one had gone to propose marriage after that. However, most of the people in the village or the nearby area were ordinary. Their qualities naturally couldn’t compare to Tang Moling and Shao Qihai’s, and neither Mu Xue nor Old Lady Mu were willing to say yes.

Old Lady Mu still yearned for a rich grandson-in-law, but this time, said rich grandson-in-law had failed to show up.

When she saw the people she despised come to propose marriage, Old Lady Mu’s expression turned ugly. After a while, no one went to propose marriage anymore. Furthermore, an increasing number of people said awful things about Mu Xue.
