"Mom, I'll go check on A-Ling first."
Zhou Cunming truly never expected that his sister would have an accident on such an ordinary day. He had only gone to the county town for one day, and she almost died.
Zhou Ling is his twin sister. His relationship with her is different. Compared to his other siblings, he is closer to his twin sister.
Zhou Cunming went to his sister's room, but he knocked politely before entering.
This habit originated from when I barged into Zhou Ling's room without her permission and was severely punished by her several times.
"Please come in."
Actually, the door wasn't closed tightly; it was just half-open, slightly blocking the bed's position.
Hearing Zhou Ling's weak voice coming from inside, Zhou Cunming couldn't help but frown.
Pushing open the door, Zhou Cunming saw Zhou Ling sitting on a chair by the bed. Her hair was completely standing up. Zhou Cunming couldn't understand the hairstyle, but it was actually a bun.
Tie all your hair up a little behind the top of your head; it's easier and more comfortable that way.
Zhou Cunming immediately noticed the bandage on the back of his sister's head, and his expression turned serious. "What happened? Didn't you fall into the water? And you got hit?"
"Even if you bump into a rock in the river, it wouldn't be the back of your head, would it?" Zhou Cunming asked with concern, looking like he would seek revenge if he knew who hit his sister.
Zhou Ling smiled at her twin brother and reassured him, "Second brother, don't worry, the person who hit me has been arrested, I'm fine now."
Not only were the human traffickers who beat her arrested, but Jinbao, who was almost abducted, was also rescued. Many other women and children who had been abducted by human traffickers were also rescued.
Actually, she was in a pretty good mood.
Moreover, the attention her parents paid to her after her injury made her unable to resist becoming obsessed. Her parents rarely cared for her like this before, and she was really immersed in it.
Zhou Cunming sat down, took a box of face cream out of his pocket, and placed it on her desk. "A gift for you."
"Tsk, if I had known you were going to suffer so much, I would have prepared something else."
Zhou Ling looked at the face cream, then at her second brother, "Why did you buy such an expensive thing?"
Although she knew her second brother would not honestly farm the land and would try to make money by any means, she did not expect that he would have enough money to buy face cream.
The main point is that he gave her this face cream. Shouldn't he give it to his younger sister, Zhou Min, as well?
He has two younger sisters; he can't favor one over the other.
And surely he should also give away the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, right?
If you do the math, you'll need three boxes of face cream.
With so much money, is her second brother's savings okay?
As for the eldest sister-in-law, there's no need to worry about her. It's best for the eldest brother to handle such intimate matters as sending face cream himself. Zhou Cunming, as the younger brother-in-law, doesn't need to send such a thing to his sister-in-law.
"Second brother, how's your secret stash of money?"
Although I know my second brother is good at making money, is it really okay for him to buy three boxes of face cream all at once?
She remembered that her second brother really wanted a job in the city, and his savings were probably meant for buying a job.
Is it really okay to consume so much energy?
Zhou Cunming shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
He hasn't earned a lot of money over the years, but it's not a small amount either. He can afford to buy face cream for the three women in his family.
However, he recently sensed that things were getting a bit tense, so he didn't dare to go to the black market as often and instead planned to find a legitimate job.
"Second brother..."
"By the way, Aling, do you know that Dad bought a tricycle?" Zhou Cunming excitedly asked his sister.
Tricycles are truly irresistible. Zhou Cunming already loved cars, but now he loves his own tricycle even more.
Although the tricycle looked ugly and not as presentable as a brand-new bicycle, it didn't matter.
He likes any kind of car.
Zhou Ling nodded, "I know, how could I not know about such a commotion outside?"
Zhou Ling pointed to her open window; she could see the tricycles in the yard from her room.
"Hehe, Dad is really amazing."
"Second Brother!"
Zhou Min suddenly appeared out of nowhere and, seeing her second brother and sister chatting, came over and asked with a grin, "Did you bring me anything nice?"
Zhou Cunming looked at his adorable little sister, who was only ten years old, and reached out to pat her head. "Here you are."
He then pulled a pretty hair tie from his pocket; it was the kind of red, gauze-like hair tie that little girls would love.
"And all these candies are for you."
Zhou Min was only a teenager and not old enough to need face cream, so he prepared things to prevent her skin from chapped in winter, as well as hair ties and candy for her.
"Thank you, Second Brother."
Zhou Min was very happy, and smiled broadly as she hugged the things her second brother had given her.
"Second brother, you've been going to the county town a lot lately, have you found any job opportunities?"
Zhou Ling didn't intend to compete with her second brother for job opportunities, but she was quite concerned about whether her second brother could find a job.
Having a helper in the household can reduce the pressure.
Zhou Cunming nodded, "Indeed, there is one. An experienced driver from the county's transportation team was looking to take on an apprentice and recommended him to work as a driver for the team."
Zhou Ling raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh?"
Zhou Cunming smiled and said, "To be honest, that master craftsman's requirements are quite strict..."
"...The apprentices he takes on must be his family's sons-in-law."
