Chapter 31 : You can’t bully my wife and children!

Originally, Song Shiwei wanted the children to stay at home, but Zhou Cheng and the others refused. Even Zhou Wei, with red-rimmed eyes, insisted on coming along.  

They were worried about their sister!  

With no other choice, Song Shiwei took them to the health center.  

Xinxin’s leg wound was quite large. As the doctor cleaned and treated it, the little girl cried in pain.  

Zhou Cheng exchanged a look with Zhou Lin and Zhou Wei before quietly calling them outside.  

“We can’t just let this go! We have to help Xinxin get revenge!”  

Zhou Lin and Zhou Wei immediately raised their hands in agreement.  

The children huddled together, whispering their plan, before returning to the infirmary.  

By then, Xinxin’s wounds had been treated.  

Unexpectedly, just as they stepped outside, they ran into Zhou Xiaoyan her forehead now wrapped in bandages.  

The moment she saw Song Shiwei, her eyes turned red with rage. Without thinking, she lunged at her as if ready to fight to the death!  

But before she could reach her, a man beside her held her back.  

Song Shiwei eyed them coldly. The man was probably her husband.  

His gaze wasn’t friendly either. When he saw Song Shiwei trying to leave with the children, he immediately voiced his dissatisfaction.  

“My dear sister-in-law, you injured my wife so badly, and you don’t even have the decency to apologize?”  

Hearing this, Song Shiwei almost laughed in anger.  

“Apologize? Comrade, why don’t you ask the person next to you, did I hit her or did I push her?”  

Sun Weibing glanced at Zhou Xiaoyan. But instead of answering, she just glared at him with a hateful expression.  

This made him hesitate.  

“But the slap mark on my wife’s face is real, isn’t it? Didn’t you hit her?”  

Song Shiwei smirked and nodded. “I did! But why don’t you ask your wife what she was trying to do at that moment? She rolled up her sleeves and was about to hit my child. Did you see my daughter’s wounded hands and knees?”  

“She pushed her!”  

She then pulled Zhou Wei over and pointed at his red, swollen ear. “And did you see my son’s ear? She twisted it!!”  

“She wasn’t done yet, she even hit my child! Let me tell you, a slap on the face was too light! I should have broken her arm! Bullying children just because the adults aren’t home, what kind of person does that? Tell me, how would you feel if, when you weren’t home, I twisted your child’s ear and bruised his knees?”  

Sun Weibing fell silent for a moment. But Zhou Xiaoyan, stubborn and unreasonable, raised her chin defiantly and spat, “I only twisted it lightly! Now that I think about it, I should’ve twisted his ear right off! Hah! That little bastard, who the hell does he think he is?”  

Just as the words left her mouth before anyone could react—  

Slap! Slap! Slap!  

Three crisp sounds echoed as Song Shiwei struck her face again, hard and fast.  

Zhou Xiaoyan, already dizzy from hitting her head earlier, now saw black spots dance before her eyes.  

Hands on her hips, Song Shiwei glared at her. “Go on! Try twisting his ear again! I’ve been holding back for a long time, and now you’re saying you want to rip off my child’s ear? Who the hell do you think you are? You’re nothing but a mad dog biting at whoever you see!”  

Zhou Xiaoyan’s tears instantly spilled over.  

She wailed and clung to Sun Weibing, sobbing, “I don’t want to live anymore! They’re bullying me! And you…you’re just standing there watching your wife get beaten! Are you even a man?!”  

Sun Weibing’s face darkened.  

His wife had been hit in front of so many people. As a man, how could he just let this go?

But he couldn’t hit a woman!  

At that moment, Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin, thinking that Sun Weibing was about to attack, rushed forward and started punching and kicking him!  

Furious, Sun Weibing swung his sandbag-sized fist, aiming for Zhou Cheng’s stomach.  

Song Shiwei panicked. She rushed forward and hugged Zhou Cheng’s still slightly fragile body, trying to shield him from the blow!  

Suddenly, a loud roar echoed through the scene—  

“STOP!!”  

Just as Sun Weibing’s fist was about to land, someone grabbed it mid-air.  

Everyone looked up and saw Zhou Tingyue standing there, panting heavily. His red-rimmed eyes glared at Sun Weibing with an expression so fierce, it was as if he wanted to tear him apart.  

With a sudden shove, Sun Weibing staggered backward several steps.  

The moment Sun Weibing saw Zhou Tingyue, his eyes widened in shock.  

Wait a minute was this fair-skinned, delicate-looking woman his new wife??  

But Zhou Tingyue ignored him. He quickly bent down and helped Song Shiwei, Zhou Cheng, and the others up from the ground, his face full of distress.  

He carefully examined Song Shiwei from head to toe, his expression filled with concern.  

Only after confirming that she wasn’t injured did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.  

At the time, he had been supervising his soldiers’ training. The moment he heard someone call for him, he didn’t hesitate he sprinted straight over.  

When he reached the family compound, his neighbor had already filled him in on what had happened. They also mentioned that Song Shiwei had taken the children to the health center.  

He had rushed over without stopping for even a second and the moment he arrived, what did he see?  

Sun Weibing raising his fist at his wife and children!  

He almost lost it right then and there!  

“Sun Weibing! If you have a problem, take it up with me! What kind of man bullies women and children?!”  

Sun Weibing flushed with embarrassment. He had only meant to scare the kid a little, who would have thought that Zhou Tingyue’s wife would step in?  

It wasn’t intentional!  

But Zhou Tingyue wasn’t going to let it go. Without another word, he grabbed Sun Weibing by the collar and dragged him toward the division headquarters.  

“I don’t care what happens, but if I don’t get a proper explanation for this today, it won’t end here!”  

Zhou Xiaoyan stood frozen in shock as she watched her husband being dragged away.  

If this got reported to the division headquarters and Sun Weibing was punished, wouldn’t that ruin his promotion the one he had been talking about just days ago?!  

Realizing this, she immediately forgot all her anger and resentment.  

Tears streaming down her face, she ran forward and grabbed Zhou Tingyue’s arm.  

“Captain Zhou, this has nothing to do with the him! Please don’t take him to the division headquarters! He was only doing this for me! It’s all my fault! Just take it out on me instead!”  

Zhou Tingyue looked at her impatiently and flicked her hand off.  

“Let it go? No way. I’m a petty man. You bullied my wife and children, how could I just let this slide? I must get to the bottom of this!”  

With that, he ignored her desperate pleas and continued dragging Sun Weibing away.  

Zhou Xiaoyan collapsed onto the ground. It was over. Completely over!  

And it was all because of Song Shiwei! And those little brats of hers!  

If they hadn’t touched her vegetables, none of this would have happened!  

Noticing Zhou Xiaoyan’s resentful glare, Song Shiwei simply rolled her eyes.  

“I was going to let it go since you agreed to trade houses with us, but now? I really can’t bring myself to respect the way you do things. Since you’re so unwilling to part with your vegetable seedlings, I’ll make sure to pull them all out when I get home. Don’t think you can keep occupying our vegetable garden!”  

At first, when Zhou Tingyue had mentioned the house exchange, she had actually been grateful and was even thinking about how to thank them properly.  

Who knew Zhou Xiaoyan would turn out to be such a person!  

The children hadn’t eaten lunch yet, and she didn’t want them to go hungry, so she quickly took them home.  

As they left, Zhou Cheng shot one last glare at Zhou Xiaoyan one filled with cold determination.  

Clearly, he was already planning something.
