Zhou Lin couldn't bear it any longer. He couldn't just watch his brother get beaten! He couldn'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 talk it out. I can't. I can't watch you get beaten, and I can't watch you ruin your reputation because of this! You clearly didn't steal anything!"
No matter how angry or anxious Zhou Cheng was, Zhou Lin turned around and ran back into the house.
Zhou Tingyue and Song Shiwei exchanged a glance 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 she was thinking that she would not be happy if it was sold 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's not at home these days. He's been sneaking out to pick up scraps! I can prove that the wheel only sold for 80 cents!"
Zhou Tingyue frowned.
"Why are you out there picking up scraps? 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 we need! But, but..."
Song Shiwei was about to ask: Just what?
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 reacted quickly, grabbed him tightly.
"Give it back to me!!"
But it was still opened by Jiang Fengqin, and when she saw the contents of the box with 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 was like a calf and knocked her to the ground.
"Ouch, you damned little bastard!"
"I fell to death!"
She screamed in pain and her butt was almost broken into four pieces.
“You’re 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 looked up 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 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 hair flowers that brides here would wear on their wedding day.
This set of head flowers is still new, with white beads dotted on the red petals, like dewdrops, sparkling and sparkling.
I don’t know who it was, but someone suddenly started crying with their hands covering their mouths. Sun Meimei, Jian Qiu and the others couldn’t help but have 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 constantly. He felt pain and discomfort in his heart. He wished that those sticks had hit him!
Zhou Lin wiped away his tears.
"My brother said that since you married into our family and 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 up money and buy you a set of headbands like this! We can't find new ones, so we bought this one from an aunt in the village. She only wore it once, at her wedding, so it's still brand new! I hope you...don't mind!"
Song Shiwei couldn't hold back any longer and covered her face and burst into tears.
She cried and shook her head: "I don't mind! How could I mind!"
She covered her chest with the hairpin 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, no one 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 spoken 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 the ignorant children in my family who only know how to play around, I actually feel a little envious.
Finally, with the witness of Political Commissar Liu, 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 in bed with sweat on his forehead due to pain, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
She hurriedly found some medicinal wine for treating bruises and sprains, rubbed it with her palms, and helped him massage his legs.
As she rubbed her body, she started crying again.
Instead, Zhou Cheng felt a little embarrassed.
"Sorry, I wanted to give you a surprise, but I messed it all up!"
Song Shiwei shook her head with gentle eyes.
"No, I really like this gift. I'm happy that you bought me a gift! But, don't go picking up rags secretly in the future. Your dad and I will be sad too!"
Zhou Tingyue washed his hands and walked over. He took the medicinal wine from her hand, poured it into his palms to warm it up, and lifted up his clothes. Seeing the bruises and redness 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 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 his way of educating his children!
Especially when she thought about the "hardship" that Zhou Cheng had been unwilling 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 Zhou Tingyue beat him up like this, he just refused to give in.
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.
