Chapter 55: A Special Birthday Gift
Zhou Lin couldn't bear it any longer. He couldn't just watch his brother get beaten! He can't do it!
But Zhou Cheng stared at him with disappointment: "Zhou Lin!!!"
Zhou Lin cried so hard that he crawled over on his knees: "Brother, let's just say it. I can't watch you get beaten, and I can't watch you ruin your reputation because of this! You obviously didn't steal anything!"
No matter how angry or anxious Zhou Cheng was, Zhou Lin just turned around and ran back into the house.
Zhou Tingyue and Song Shiwei looked at each other and looked towards the door.
Everyone looked over as well.
The most excited person was Jiang Fengqin. She was guessing how much the boy had sold it for, and at the same time she was thinking that she would not be happy if he sold it for less.
After a while, Zhou Lin came out of the house, holding a box in his arms.
He wiped the tears from his face and said, "My brother is not a thief. He was not at home these days and he went out secretly to pick up junk! I can prove that the wheel was only sold for 80 cents!"
Zhou Tingyue frowned.
"Why are you out there picking up junk? Are you short of something? Why didn't you tell me?"
Song Shiwei didn’t think these children were missing anything?
Just as I was wondering, I saw Zhou Lin shaking his head.
"We have everything! But, but......"
Song Shiwei was just about to ask: Just what?
Then a figure rushed over, snatched the box from Zhou Lin's arms, and was about to open it with a greedy smile on his face.
But Zhou Lin, who had just reacted, grabbed him tightly.
"Give it back to me!!"
But it was still opened by Jiang Fengqin, and when she saw what was in the box with great anticipation.
His face changed color instantly and he threw the box to the ground viciously.
"What a piece of crap!"
As she threw the box, it fell to the ground.
But this action seemed to touch Zhou Cheng's reverse scale.
He rushed towards Jiang Fengqin like an arrow shot from a bow.
Although Jiang Fengqin looks fat and plump, she has no strength.
Zhou Cheng knocked her to the ground like a calf.
"Ouch, you damned little bastard!"
"I fell to death!"
She screamed in pain and her butt was almost broken into four pieces.
"You are the one who deserves to die!!!"
Seeing Zhou Cheng’s eyes red and about to rush forward again, Zhou Tingyue hugged him.
Song Shiwei picked up the box quickly.
When she saw what was inside, she was suddenly stunned, and there seemed to be tears flashing in her eyes!
He raised his head to look at Zhou Cheng who was still struggling in Zhou Tingyue's arms.
"You saved money for so many days just to buy this thing?"
After hearing her words, Zhou Cheng became quiet instantly. He lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhou Lin nodded while crying: "Yes, my brother has been picking up rags and selling them for money every day just to buy this. He accidentally saw your marriage certificate, which had your birthday written on it, so he wanted to give you a surprise on your birthday..."
As Song Shiwei listened, tears began to fall from her eyes.
Everyone was amazed. What kind of gift was in the box?
As Song Shiwei took out the things, everyone was shocked to see that the box actually contained a set of red head flowers that brides here would wear on their wedding day.
This set of headbands is still new, with white beads dotted on the red petals, like dewdrops, sparkling and sparkling.
I don't know who it was, but suddenly I started crying with my hands covering my mouth. Sun Meimei and Jian Qiu also had tears in their eyes.
Zhou Tingyue's Adam's apple rolled violently and his chest rose and fell rapidly.
The arm that was holding Zhou Cheng was shaking non-stop. He felt pain and discomfort in his heart at this moment. He wished that those sticks had hit himself!
Zhou Lin wiped away his tears.
"My brother said that since you married into our family, we haven't had a wedding banquet yet. He didn't want you to have something that others have, so he wanted to secretly save money to buy you a set of head flowers like this! We can't find a new one, so we bought this one from an aunt in the village. She only wore it once when she got married, so it's still very new! I hope you...don't dislike it!"
Song Shiwei couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears with her hands covering her face.
She cried and shook her head: "I don't mind! How could I mind!"
She held the flower in her hair against her chest and cried like a tearful person.
"I love your birthday presents! I love them!"
Many people around had children, and when they saw this scene, none of them helped but shed tears secretly.
Even Political Commissar Liu couldn't help but turn his head away quietly and wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Jiang Fengqin hasn't said anything since then. She didn't expect that the child was picking up rags everywhere just to buy a hair flower for his stepmother.
When I think of those ignorant children in my own family who only know how to play, I actually feel a little envious.
Finally, with Political Commissar Liu as witness, Song Shiwei took the eighty cents and returned it to Jiang Fengqin, and the matter was over.
After returning home, Song Shiwei looked at Zhou Cheng, who was lying on the bed with sweat on his forehead, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
She hurriedly found the medicinal wine for treating bruises and sprains, rubbed it with her palms, and helped him massage his legs.
As she rubbed her face, she started crying again.
Instead, Zhou Cheng felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to give you a surprise, but I messed it all up!"
Song Shiwei shook her head gently.
"No, I like this gift very much. I'm happy that you bought me a gift! But, in the future, don't secretly pick up rags. Your father and I will feel bad too!"
Zhou Tingyue washed his hands and came over, took the medicinal wine from her hand, poured it into his palms to warm it up, then lifted up his clothes and saw the bruises and swelling on his back. He felt pain and guilt in his heart.
"Dad is wrong this time. Dad shouldn't hit you!"
The big palm gently pressed on the red and swollen area, and Zhou Cheng groaned in pain.
He quickly eased off a little.
"You need to rub these bruises and redness, or it will hurt more tomorrow!"
Zhou Lin, Zhou Wei and Zhou Xinxin all lay on the bed, looking at Zhou Cheng with red eyes.
Especially Zhou Xinxin, she pouted and wanted to cry: "Brother, let me help you blow it!"
As he said that, he really started blowing "whoosh!" at his back.
To be honest, Song Shiwei was really angry with Zhou Tingyue today.
He is good in all aspects except that he is too harsh in the way he educates his children!
Especially when she thought about the "hardship" that Zhou Cheng had been reluctant to tell her, which was actually because he wanted to give her a surprise on her birthday, her heart ached like a needle.
Just for this surprise, the child refused to say a word, even if he might be accused of stealing, even if he was beaten like this by Zhou Tingyue, he just refused to let go.
The more I think about it, the more upset I feel.
He simply reached out and twisted the soft flesh on someone's lower back hard.
