Zhou Yanchen placed his hand on his wife's shoulder and gently patted it to comfort her. Then, he asked Zhou Shiwei, "Is what your mother said true?"
"Dad! Don't just believe whatever Mom says. I know she's never liked me. She feels that my birth stole your attention from her. She hates me and wishes she'd never been born..."
Before Zhou Shiwei could finish speaking, Zhou Yanchen slapped her across the face. He said sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about? If your mother didn't like you, would she have carried you for ten months and risked her life to give birth to you? If she didn't like you, how could she have raised you with so much care and care?"
You say your mom thinks your birth stole my attention? Do you even have a brain? Without your mom, where would you be?! Your mom and I are husband and wife; she's the woman I went through so much trouble to marry.
"She's the wife I'm going to spend my life with. Now listen to me carefully: I don't care if you, my daughter, exist or not, but your mother is my other half, and I absolutely cannot live without her!"
Zhou Shiwei was stunned by the slap. It was the first time she had ever been hit in her life. She was slapped by her loving father. It was unbelievable, but the truth was the truth... Before she could even process the slap, her father Zhou Yanchen's words dealt her another heavy blow.
not give a damn about?
Whether or not she is her daughter, her father, who has always doted on her... says he doesn't care!
He only cares about her mother...
With tears welling up in her eyes, Zhou Shiwei couldn't accept what her father, Zhou Yanchen, had said. She burst into tears and ran to her room.
next door.
The Song family, young and old, were sitting in the living room when they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the Zhou family's house. They heard a girl crying her heart out, and they were all confused.
"Second brother, did your classmate get beaten by her dad?"
"If you want to know, ask yourself about your past."
“Your classmate was crying so loudly, and there was a loud ‘smack’ just now. I think I’m not mistaken, she must have been hit by her dad! But she deserved it, daring to look at our sister-in-law with such hostility earlier. I was even thinking of finding a suitable opportunity to teach her a lesson!”
"You? Don't end up suffering a huge loss instead of getting anything done to the other party."
"Second brother, you underestimate me!"
"You think I should look down on you? Skinny as a beet, aside from your verbal skills, are you lacking in either your brain or your physical abilities?"
"I... I've been learning martial arts from my sister-in-law, and I'm really good at it. And... and she's even praised me for my improved intelligence!"
"Whatever you say goes."
Qin Boyan shrugged, then changed the subject, saying, "Remember not to mention my classmate in front of me again. I'm not close to her. If you keep bringing her into this, I'll..."
Not hearing Qin Boyan's reply for a long time, Qin Yaxin raised her chin, her eyes filled with provocation, and asked, "So what?"
"I'll give you a few more flicks on the forehead."
As Qin Boyan spoke, he flicked Qin Yaxin's forehead with his hand. Perhaps he really used some force, because Qin Yaxin cried out in pain. Then she rubbed her forehead and glared at Qin Boyan: "Bullying the younger one, second brother, you've gone too far!"
The two little ones covered their mouths and laughed.
Song Lan, Qin Yanzheng, and Wu Dong were also amused by the interaction between Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin, and they chuckled softly.
A moment later, Song Lan stopped laughing. She picked up the kraft paper envelope on the coffee table, glanced at Qin Yanzheng, and said, "I didn't expect that something so casual would actually earn me a reward."
"How can you call that casual? You should know that if it weren't for your excellent skills and intelligence, not to mention the women and children that the police later rescued, the five victims locked in the cellar in the county town would probably have been sold."
And you, with your keen observation, not only successfully rescued them but also subdued the entire family of six who were trafficking women and children. You even provided the police with invaluable information, helping them dismantle a trafficking ring in which nearly half the entire village was involved in trafficking women and children. That's a tremendous achievement!
Qin Yanzheng spoke earnestly, and after he finished speaking, Wu Dong said, "Comrade Song, your actions have saved many families. Captain Li is giving you this reward from the public security department today, and you deserve it."
"Yes, it's what my sister-in-law deserves!"
Tuanzi nodded her little head in agreement.
Little Qin Yaxuan nodded her head: "Sister-in-law did a good deed, and the police gave her a reward. This is what sister-in-law deserves."
“Sister-in-law, the reward is for you, so it’s only right that you accept it. Besides, you didn’t take it voluntarily; it was Captain Li who insisted on leaving the reward behind when he left.”
Although Li Xueqin accompanied his wife and son to visit Song Lan today to express their gratitude, he had another task: to represent the county public security department and Wang Pengcheng and other colleagues at Anping Street Police Station to present Song Lan with the reward issued by the authorities—a cash reward of 500 yuan!
"Yes, sister-in-law, you have saved many trafficked women and children. The police officers giving you a reward is nothing. Don't take it too seriously, just keep it in mind."
Qin Yaxin truly admired her sister-in-law Song Lan, feeling that Song Lan was amazing in every way. She thought that even if she spent her whole life learning, she could never become as outstanding as Song Lan.
But she was not disappointed at all; on the contrary, she felt honored.
Beautiful inside and out, with superb medical skills, exceptional physical abilities, and a caring heart for her family... Who else could have such a perfect sister-in-law?
"What you've said really makes me feel embarrassed. What I did that day was just something I did on a whim. In my opinion, it was a trivial matter."
Song Lan was speaking from the heart.
Qin Yanzheng and the others naturally believed what Song Lan said, knowing that Song Lan did not take the rescue of Zhai Qiu, Zhao Tiantian, and Li Jinhao, or the subsequent police raid on the kidnapping village based on the clues she provided, to heart.
