Chapter 155: I even learned how to operate a sewing machine

Zhou Tingyue was a little dumbfounded.

"How is that possible? When did I ever sign anything like this?"

Gong Shanhe was obviously shocked when he heard his words!

He wiped the rain off his face and stuttered when he spoke.

"Then, then, who signed that application?"

Zhou Tingyue's face turned dark when he thought of a possibility!

It was raining so hard that he said, "Sorry! I'll go back and ask!"

Turned around and left.

At this time, in the family courtyard, Song Shiwei heard the sound of the door opening. She looked up and saw Zhou Cheng, who was soaked like a chicken in boiling water.

She was a little surprised: "Zhou Cheng? You came back by yourself?"

Zhou Cheng wiped the rain off his face and nodded: "Yes!"

Song Shiwei looked out the door anxiously: "Oh, your dad went to school to pick you up with a raincoat, didn't you meet him?"

Hearing what Song Shiwei said, he was obviously stunned for a moment.

"I, I took a small path, so I might not have encountered it..."

There was something wrong with his expression, and he didn't even dare to look Song Shiwei in the eye. He looked a little suspicious.

Although Song Shiwei felt that he seemed a little strange today, she didn't think much about it. After all, it was stormy outside and Zhou Tingyue hadn't come back yet, so she couldn't help but worry.

Zhou Wei and Zhou Lin also came back with Sun Meimei.

Inevitably, the clothes of several children got wet.

She asked them to take off their coats and get into the quilts, and made them some brown sugar ginger tea for them to drink. She then took their wet clothes and dried them by the stove.

When the baking is almost done, she prepares to cook.

I fried two dishes, heated up some steamed buns, and cooked some rice porridge.

As soon as the food was served, several children sat around the table.

But no one dared to pick up their chopsticks, they were all waiting for Zhou Tingyue!

Zhou Cheng lowered his head, not daring to move, his hands clenched tightly, his nails seemed to be digging into his palms.

It was so cold that his palms were full of sweat.

Fortunately, Zhou Tingyue came back not long after.

His clothes had long been soaked by the rain. In such bad weather, the raincoat was of no use at all.

Song Shiwei took the raincoat he took off and hung it on the corner of the door to let it absorb the water.

Just as she was about to ask him to change his wet clothes, she helped him warm them.

Then I saw Zhou Tingyue’s ashen face.

Water was still dripping from his forehead, but his eyes were fixed on Zhou Cheng without blinking. The coldness in his eyes made people want to shiver.

Zhou Cheng rubbed his hands nervously and didn't even dare to raise his head.

Only then did Song Shiwei notice something was wrong.

"Tingyue, what's wrong with you? Zhou Cheng came back early and just missed you!"

Zhou Tingyue narrowed his eyes: "When I went to school, school had just ended! I want to know how he came back early?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Cheng lowered his head even more.

Song Shiwei also looked at him: "Zhou Cheng, what's going on? Since school has just ended, why did you come back early?"

Zhou Cheng pursed his lips: "I, I..."

He looked up at Zhou Tingyue and then quickly lowered his head.

Zhou Tingyue said in a deep voice: "Zhou Cheng, I met your teacher Gong. Do you want to guess what Teacher Gong said to me?"

Zhou Cheng was so scared that his eyes turned red. Even Zhou Lin, who was standing next to him, had a worried look on his face. He looked at this and that, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated!

"Dad... well, my brother..."

"Don't explain for him, I want to hear him speak for himself!"

He was interrupted by Zhou Tingyue's sharp voice just as he opened his mouth.

Zhou Cheng stood up in an instant.

She looked up at Zhou Tingyue: "I, I secretly wrote a leave of absence application, and even secretly learned your handwriting and signed it! In fact, I didn't go to school this semester! I lied to you!"

After listening to this, Song Shiwei's eyes turned red with anxiety: "Zhou Cheng, why are you so confused!"

Zhou Tingyue has started to untie his belt!

The little guys were so scared that they all shrank back.

Zhou Cheng pushed the stool away and took two steps forward: "Dad, if you want to beat me, go ahead. I know I made a big mistake this time. I am sorry for your and Mom's expectations of me! But I am really not cut out for school. I can't learn!"

"I don't want to always be ranked last in the class in every exam! I'm not as fond of studying as Linzi is. I can't study until eleven or twelve in the middle of the night, even with a flashlight. I really can't do that!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Tingyue loosened his grip on the belt.

Song Shiwei also sighed softly.

The other children looked at Zhou Tingyue nervously, fearing that he would pull out the belt in the next second.

Zhou Lin thought about it, then gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Dad, I already knew about my brother's affair. I forged your signature on the application. If you want to beat him, beat me too!"

When Zhou Cheng heard this, he quickly pushed him back.

"What are you doing? No one is going to rush around looking for a beating! I am responsible for my own actions. I forced you to write it for me. This is my own business and has nothing to do with you! Go back and sit down!"

Zhou Lin became anxious.

"Brother, I know why you did that. How could I just watch you get beaten? Every night when I see the bruises and wounds on your hands, I feel guilty. I don't know if I was right or wrong to help you!"

"You did odd jobs for others to earn money without telling your parents because you wanted to help the family. You felt that you were the eldest child in the family, and if you couldn't go to school, you might as well go out and earn money early!"

"You envy Sister Xiaocui and Brother Gousheng for making so much money in a month. I know all this! Brother, I've known for a long time that your affair would be exposed sooner or later. It's better to tell Mom and Dad as soon as possible!"

After Zhou Lin finished speaking, Zhou Cheng fell silent for a moment.

Not only was he silent, but Song Shiwei and Zhou Tingyue were also silent.

I didn't expect that this kid had big ideas in his mind. It should be said that Song Shiwei only understood at this time why Zhou Cheng's kid became the villain in the end, it was because he was too courageous.

He has his own ideas in his mind and dares to think and act.

Although this is not a good thing to do, it does mean that he has a certain amount of courage and bravery. If it is bigger, it means he is aggressive.

If this energy is used in the right way, Song Shiwei feels that he will be able to achieve something, but if it is used in other ways, it will be easy to go astray.

"Zhou Cheng, what kind of labor did you do?"

Zhou Cheng looked at Song Shiwei and pursed his lips and said, "There are laborers who build houses, laborers who take charge of banquets for weddings and funerals in the village, and laborers who operate sewing machines in tailor shops to make clothes, and also..."

When Song Shiwei heard him say that he had even operated a sewing machine, he was almost stunned!

Is this really the Zhou Cheng she knew?

He is really capable for a boy. He is very flexible and has even learned how to operate a sewing machine!
