Chapter 156 Brother, You Are a Dumbass
Zhou Tingyue obviously didn't expect this. He pulled the belt violently, and with a "bang", the long belt was pulled out.
Zhou Wei and Zhou Xinxin quickly covered their faces.
Zhou Lin shouted “Bang!” and knelt down in front of Zhou Tingyue.
She cried, "Dad, you really hit me, please be gentle, I have to go to school tomorrow!"
Who knew that Zhou Tingyue's next action would make his crying stop abruptly.
He handed the belt in his hand to Song Shiwei and started to take off his shirt.
"These clothes are too wet, they need to be dried!"
Having said that, he turned around and went into the house, leaving Zhou Lin and Zhou Cheng dumbfounded.
Song Shiwei smiled helplessly and said, "When did your dad say he was going to beat you? Why don't you get up quickly!"
When Zhou Lin heard this, he quickly got up.
He looked at Zhou Cheng in disbelief: "Brother, Dad, Dad, you really don't want to fight anymore?"
Zhou Cheng naturally had no idea what was going on. The main reason was that he felt guilty because he had secretly forged the application form without his knowledge and Song Shiwei's knowledge. If this had happened in the past, he would have definitely been given a beating by Zhou Tingyue.
But this time, he didn't fight! Was he waiting until he changed his clothes before fighting?
Song Shiwei hung the belt on the wall behind the door.
Push the two to sit at the table.
"Eat first, then talk after you finish eating, or the food will get cold!"
But the children still didn't dare to pick up their chopsticks. They waited until Zhou Tingyue changed her clothes and came out, picked up the steamed bun and took a bite. Only then did the children feel relieved and started to eat.
Of course, all of them are a bit tasteless.
Even though Song Shiwei’s cooking was delicious, she was still worried about something.
Song Shiwei glanced at Zhou Tingyue's stern face and felt like laughing.
He did it on purpose. Even though he didn't punish the two kids, he just didn't want them to have an easy time.
It also allows them to think carefully and think about whether they dare to do the same thing next time!
Song Shiwei had a good appetite. He ate a whole steamed bun and drank a bowl of porridge. He put down his chopsticks only when his stomach was full.
After Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin had cleared the table and washed the dishes, and were about to go to bed, Zhou Tingyue called out, "Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin, come here!"
When Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin heard this, they immediately became nervous and even walked in sync.
Song Shiwei asked Zhou Wei and Xinxin to go to bed first, and then found a stool to sit on.
Zhou Tingyue looked the two children up and down and sighed softly.
"Go ahead, don't be nervous. You two are grown up now and have your own ideas. Daddy doesn't want to hit you anymore because I think you are all grown up kids now and you should know what you want and what you should and shouldn't do!"
Hearing him say this, Zhou Cheng's eyes became noticeably redder.
He choked up and called out, "Dad..."
Zhou Lin didn't expect him to have this attitude. The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt.
"Dad...I'm sorry..."
Song Shiwei felt bad seeing the two kids in such a state.
"Zhou Cheng, can you tell us what you really think? If you really don't want to study, we won't force you, or if you have something you want to learn, we will fully support you! But you must not keep silent, you can talk to your parents!"
"After all, you are still young and don't know much about this society. We can also help you analyze it. If it is really feasible, then do it! After all, the way to survive in society is not just to go to college. All roads lead to Rome. You can always find a way that belongs to you!"
Zhou Tingyue also nodded in agreement: "Yes, this time I am angry, not because you don't want to go to school, but because you took the initiative and even asked your brother to forge an application for you. If you really don't want to go, you can just tell me and mom, and I can sign this application for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Cheng's tears falling "click!" "click!"
Zhou Lin also wiped his tears.
"Brother, did you hear me? I told you that our parents are not unreasonable people. It's not good for us to keep it a secret! Just tell us what's wrong! If you really don't want to go to school, your parents will definitely understand you!"
Zhou Cheng wiped the tears from his face and nodded.
"Okay! I understand, Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I won't do it again!"
As he spoke, he took out a small brown paper package from his pocket, opened it carefully and handed it to Song Shiwei and Zhou Tingyue.
"Mom and Dad, this is the money I've earned over time. It's not much, just over 30 yuan..."
Song Shiwei looked at the scattered coins, some were fifty cents, some were twenty cents, and even some were one or two cents, all of them were small change!
It can be seen that he saved money for a long time to save so much.
Seeing this pile of small-denomination, large-quantity coins, Song Shi felt mixed emotions.
"Zhou Cheng, can you tell mom what you want to do? What do you want to do or learn after you stop going to school? Is there anything you are interested in?"
There was no way she would just watch him doing odd jobs. Her career was about to start. If Zhou Cheng really didn't want to go to school, letting him follow her to gain some experience would be a good choice. If he liked it, that would be the best. If not, she could help him think of other ways.
At least you won't do odd jobs for others, or even work on a sewing machine to earn a few cents!
Zhou Tingyue was also somewhat moved. This kid was a very ambitious person. He didn't expect that he would go to work odd jobs during this semester without attending classes. He earned a few dozen dollars, which was not even as much as his half-month salary, but he felt it was particularly precious.
"Zhou Cheng...you..."
As he spoke, he felt so distressed that he was speechless.
Song Shiwei patted his shoulder and looked at Zhou Cheng with encouragement, indicating that he should say whatever he thought.
Seeing that his elder brother didn't say anything, Zhou Lin on the side became a little anxious.
"Brother, you are such a taciturn person. You are usually talkative, but why are you silent now? Parents are not strangers and will not harm you. Just say whatever you think!"
Zhou Cheng glared at him, looked up at Zhou Tingyue and Song Shiwei, and swallowed hard.
Then he spoke: "Dad, Mom, I won't hide it anymore. I'm actually quite jealous of Xiao Cui and Gou Sheng. They can sell clothes with you, get a very high salary every month, and even bought a tricycle. I, I have wanted to sell clothes with you for a long time, but I was afraid that you would disagree and it would make you sad, so I never dared to mention it!"
