Chapter 324 Sister, Don’t Be Silly
Zhou Kexin was amused by her sister's words: "Don't worry, Dad will never let us freeze to death. Don't give up, hold on a little longer, I estimate that we will have to kneel until the early morning..."
Li Jingen wailed, "Big sister, you are making it sound so easy. Kneeling until the early morning? My hands and feet are numb from the cold now."
Zhou Kexin frowned slightly and reminded softly: "Move your body a little, don't keep kneeling."
Li Jingen sighed helplessly: "Big sister, how about you show me how to move my body?"
Zhou Kexin said: "Isn't it okay to just lift your knees and move your hands and feet appropriately?"
Li Jingen pouted: "I have been doing this all the time, but my hands and feet are still numb from the cold."
Zhou Kexin calmed down, and Li Jingchu said, "Sister, why don't we stop insisting and just tell the truth? Why do we have to suffer this kind of torture outside?"
The reason why they joined forces to cheat their parents of their money was that they wanted to buy Zhou Yong a new bicycle on his birthday.
Because the bicycle Zhou Yong is riding now is not only more than ten years old, but most importantly, it is in tatters.
The four children put a lot of thought into raising money to buy bicycles and purchase bicycle tickets.
Zhou Kexin said, "Dad's birthday is in three days. Don't you want to give him a surprise?"
Li Jingchu remained silent. Li Jingen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll just freeze to death. It's just to make Dad happy."
Zhou Kerou's voice trembled: "Sister, have you ever thought about how we are going to get through these three days?"
Zhou Kexin frowned: "We have to carry it through even if it means a lot."
Zhou Kerou nodded: "I will definitely tear the mouths of the three Ma brothers later. If it weren't for them, how could we kneel here..."
Li Jingchu felt that his sister was being unreasonable: "We don't know what's going on. Don't make a decision easily."
Zhou Kerou snorted, and Zhou Kexin gritted her teeth: "It must be Ma Yiyang. Apart from him, Ma Yichen and Ma Yiming will never betray us."
Li Jingchu frowned slightly: "Sister, even if it was Ma Yiyang, you can't blame him for this. After all, we were the ones who negotiated the cooperation with him..."
Zhou Kexin snorted coldly: "It is true that we approached the three brothers to discuss cooperation, but don't forget that the price was set by Ma Yiyang.
That black-hearted guy will definitely marry a female demon in the future, who will make him obedient and cry for his parents all day long..."
Li Jingchu's mouth twitched: "Sister, you are too vicious? Is it necessary to curse Ma Yiyang like this?"
Zhou Kexin thought it was necessary. Zhou Kerou said, "When I grow up, I will marry Ma Yiyang. Then I will ask him to kneel in front of me in the yard every day..."
Li Jingchu was stunned, and Li Jingen continued: "Sister, don't be stupid, because it's not worth it to take revenge on Ma Yiyang and sacrifice yourself..."
"Brother, please stop talking. I have made up my mind to do this."
Li Jingchu couldn't help but twitch his lips a few times: "You little brat, how old are you, and you're talking about this kind of thing? If your parents knew, you would probably kneel down until the end of time..."
Zhou Kerou snorted, Li Jingchu was not scolding his sister.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the four siblings were freezing.
Some rubbed their hands, some covered their ears, and everyone's body looked as if maggots were infested, kneeling on the ground, twisting and swaying from side to side.
Zhou Yong stood in front of the window and raised his wrist. He looked at the time on his watch in the moonlight. Seeing that it was already ten o'clock, he couldn't help but pursed his lips.
With a creaking sound——
Zhou Yong pushed open the bedroom door. The room was pitch dark. He wanted to turn on the light, but after thinking for a moment, he retracted his hand.
"Are you asleep?"
"Asleep."
Zhou Yong's eyes twitched: "You're still answering me while you're asleep?"
Li Caiyun was silent in bed, angry. Zhou Yong came to the edge of the kang and said, "Go and call them into the house!"
"I'm not going. If you want to go, go by yourself."
Zhou Yong touched Li Caiyun's face, but she ruthlessly pushed his hand away.
"Don't be angry, I'm punishing them for their own good, right?"
Li Caiyun chose to remain silent, while Zhou Yong said with a hint of helplessness: "If you can't even discipline your own children, do you want to wait until they enter society and let others correct their mistakes?"
"Stop preaching to me about these great principles here."
Zhou Yong sighed: "Stop messing around, get up quickly, it's snowing heavily outside."
Li Caiyun glared at Zhou Yong, then lifted the quilt, sat up and put on her clothes.
"How can you educate your children like this? Making them kneel outside in the middle of winter? If they get sick from the cold, I wonder if you'll regret it later..."
Zhou Yong remained silent while Li Caiyun muttered to herself, put on her clothes and went downstairs.
The four children's knees became numb from kneeling for so long.
Li Caiyun looked at her four children and said, "Aren't you going to explain the problem yet? Are you planning to kneel here all night?"
The four siblings trembled and lowered their heads, and Li Caiyun felt very distressed.
"You are all stubborn. Who do you take your personalities from?"
After the words fell, Li Caiyun spoke again: "Your father is asleep, let's all go to bed!"
When the four siblings heard this, they all showed joy on their faces. Zhou Kerou said pitifully: "Mom, please help me up, I can't get up..."
Li Caiyun helped the four siblings up one by one, and the four children supported each other and went into the house.
It took a while for Li Caiyun to return to her room. Zhou Yong looked at her long face and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Li Caiyun glanced at Zhou Yong who was washing his feet and said, "What's wrong? The child knelt outside for so long that his knees are bruised..."
Although they were wearing cotton coats and trousers, the Li family's courtyard was paved with broken bricks. Their knees would naturally get bruised after kneeling for a long time.
Zhou Yong pursed his lips, moved his feet away from the foot basin, and picked up the foot towel to wipe his feet.
Li Caiyun glared at him angrily, took off her shoes and got on the kang.
Zhou Yong put some wood into the stove, and Li Caiyun took off her clothes and got into bed.
In the early morning, Zhou Yong tiptoed to the four children's rooms with a flashlight and checked their knee injuries one by one. He was heartbroken.
Although he feels sad, he will never be lenient when it comes to educating his children.
After covering the children with quilts one by one, Zhou Yong appeared in the living room with a flashlight, startling Li Baotian who was about to go to the bathroom.
"Why are you wandering around the living room with a flashlight without turning on the light?"
Zhou Yong explained the reason why he appeared in the living room, and Li Baotian sighed.
"Next time they make a mistake, don't make them kneel down, just let them face the wall and reflect on their mistakes..."
Zhou Yong pursed his lips. Li Baotian said a few words to him and then hurried to the toilet.
The next day, the four children walked with a limp, and Zhou Yong had a cold face, showing indifference to them.
Li Caiyun didn't want to show it too much, but she couldn't hide the pain in her eyes.
Zhang Guifang looked at the four siblings and said to Li Baotian distressedly, "Good kids, look at what Zhou Yong has done to them!"
Li Baotian stood in the living room, looking at the courtyard: "Alright, just stop talking! Zhou Yong is their biological father, do you think the child will feel good about this?"
Zhang Guifang glanced at Zhou Yong who was sweeping snow outside and said, "You are right."
Li Baotian nodded, chatted with his wife for a few words, and then went to the yard to help sweep the snow.
Brothers Li Jingchu and Li Jingen were clearing snow. Li Baotian came over and said, "Come into the house. Grandpa and your dad will do the snow sweeping."
