The second and third sons were both anxious.
"What should we do then? Will she be like our previous stepmother, secretly beating and scolding us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the children all shuddered, as if they remembered the scene a few years ago.
At that time, Zhou Tingyue had just brought them home. The eldest and second oldest were five or six years old and could remember things. Even the youngest was three or four years old and still remembered vaguely.
The sudden death of their parents was a huge blow to them. Although Zhou Tingyue brought them back, they knew that their parents died because of him.
So their attitude towards him was not very nice, and his new wife was jumping around and making a lot of noise all day long.
He even beat and pinched them secretly behind people's backs.
Not to mention that they were often covered with bruises, even the fourth child, who was still in swaddling clothes, was not spared.
She sharpened the embroidery needle to a thin and sharp point, and whenever the fourth child cried, she would prick him.
The embroidery needle was so thin that you couldn't even see the eye.
Although Zhou Tingyue went home as often as possible to take care of them, he was not at home every day, so he naturally could not find any clues.
I just feel that the fourth child is particularly fond of crying.
At that time, they were secretly resentful and began to think of ways to deal with that woman.
Sure enough, the woman couldn't stand it anymore after a while.
She kept looking for Zhou Tingyue and demanded a divorce.
Fortunately, the divorce application was approved quickly.
As soon as the woman left, everyone cheered for a while.
As time went by, they also realized that Zhou Tingyue was really good to them, and he was good to them from the bottom of his heart.
In the first one or two years, they were resistant to him, but later they gradually opened their hearts and accepted him as their real father!
I thought their family would live a peaceful life, but then I heard the news that my father was getting married.
How could the children not be afraid? The dusty memories from a few years ago instantly came to their minds.
The fourth child didn’t understand anything, but he was still a little scared after hearing what his brother said.
"Brother, what should we do?"
As the eldest brother of several children, Zhou Cheng's slightly childish face showed a hint of viciousness.
"Don't worry, big brother has a way to make her get out of our house as soon as possible, just like that bad woman before!"
After saying that, he asked his younger brothers and sisters to gather around him and made arrangements in a low voice.
When the children heard what their eldest brother said, their eyes suddenly lit up and they nodded one after another.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother!"
Zhou Tingyue waited until the marriage report was approved before boarding the ship to the inland.
Fortunately, his situation was special, so the process was expedited. It would have taken at least a week, but it was done in just five days.
During this period, he also called his parents in Beijing.
The fact that he adopted four children almost pissed off his parents to death.
But his parents are not unreasonable people. They know that he did this to repay his gratitude, but as a parent, who doesn’t think about their own children?
A good marriage was called off, he got divorced and had four children to raise alone, they felt that Zhou Tingyue's life was ruined.
Zhou Tingyue's mother, Shen Xiu'e, was so angry about this that she fell ill.
Therefore, Zhou Tingyue rarely went home in recent years. He was afraid that his parents would feel sad when they saw him.
But this time, since it’s such a big deal that he’s getting married, he still has to tell his family. Besides, it’s a good thing.
I believe his parents will be happy for him when they hear this.
The result was indeed as expected. When Shen Xiu'e received his call, she was obviously very surprised.
"What? Say it again, son? What are you going to do?"
Zhou Tingyue smiled helplessly.
"I might be getting married! I'm telling you in advance so you can be at ease!"
Hearing his words, Shen Xiu'e was so happy that tears were about to fall.
"Did Mom hear correctly? You said you were getting married?"
Before Zhou Tingyue could say anything, he heard his mother excitedly shouting on the other end of the phone: "Old Zhou, come quickly, listen to what your son said! He said he's getting married!!"
There was a rustling sound coming from the other end of the receiver, and it was obvious that his father Zhou Runde was also very excited.
Then his father's pretended deep voice came from the other end: "Ahem, Tingyue, you said you were getting married?"
Zhou Tingyue smiled and replied, "Yes, I'm going to take a leave of absence these two days to go back to Beijing City and propose marriage to her family. If the girl agrees, we can get the marriage certificate soon! My marriage report has also been approved!"
Hearing what their son said, the old couple's eyes were red.
Shen Xiu'e reacted and hurriedly asked, "Son, is that girl also from Beijing? What's her name? Where is she from? How old is she?"
Zhou Tingyue didn't think much about it and gave them Song Shiwei's name and home address.
So, Song Shiwei waited and waited, but before Zhou Tingyue showed up, a strange thing happened.
That day, she still wanted to go to the sales point at the door to ask if there was any phone call or letter for her?
As a result, I met a middle-aged woman carrying a vegetable basket on the road.
Although she was not dressed very well, she was very clean and her hair was combed meticulously. She was obviously a very particular person.
Why did Song Shiwei notice her? It was mainly because she turned her head to look at her from time to time while walking.
Then he looked uncertain again.
She found it very strange.
At this moment, Song Yingying must have just gotten off work and was riding her bicycle towards this side.
They happened to be at a fork in the road. The woman was probably looking at her and not paying attention to the road, and Song Yingying was riding fast.
Just when Song Shiwei wanted to remind her, the two of them had already bumped into each other!
With a loud bang, Song Yingying's bicycle fell to the ground, the rear wheel spinning non-stop, and she fell heavily to the ground. The woman was hit even harder by her, and she leaned on the curb, screaming "Ouch!" non-stop, and the vegetables in the basket were scattered all over the ground.
Song Yingying was so angry that her knee was probably bruised and it hurt a lot, but she still endured the pain and got up quickly.
Pointing at the person on the ground, he started cursing, "Are you blind? You don't even look where you're walking! You're really sick! You almost made me fall to death!"
But Shen Xiu'e, lying on the ground, was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe. It seemed that her waist was sprained.
Seeing the little girl in front of her who was so sarcastic and unwilling to give in, she tried to stand up with a pale face, but her waist was hurting so much that she couldn't move at all.
"Little girl, don't rush to scold me, can you help me first, I twisted my waist!"
But Song Yingying refused to agree.
"Don't play dead! What twisted waist? I think you're just trying to blackmail me! I'm telling you, I'm not someone you can easily bully! Get up right now!"
But Shen Xiu'e was in so much pain that sweat broke out on her forehead and her face was as pale as paper.
I couldn't even speak.
Song Yingying on the side was still chattering non-stop, and Shen Xiu'e's head began to hurt as she heard her words, and her vision went dark.
