Chapter 48: Do You Really Think It’s Okay?
Wan Feng hugged Zhang Can’er’s waist, rested her head on her stomach, and said in a muffled voice, “I’m afraid you’ll leave me and never talk to me again.”
Zhang Can’er found it a bit amusing. She didn’t know that Wan Feng was actually a clingy person. It seemed that the more they got along, the more she could discover another side of her.
The cold-faced, cold-hearted person at the beginning had now become a master of acting cute, a clingy person, and a crybaby.
Oh, and there was also the habit of being shy.
Thinking of this, Zhang Can’er couldn’t help but curl her lips. “Lift your head. Don’t suffocate yourself.”
Wan Feng pouted, lifted her head, and looked at her with a wronged expression. Her eyes were a little moist, and there were still some tears at the corners of her eyes. The charm of her fox eyes was brought to its fullest.
Zhang Can’er couldn’t help but reach out and gently rub the corners of her eyes, making the pink even more vibrant. As if possessed, she lowered her body.
Wan Feng’s breathing hitched, waiting for Zhang Can’er to kiss her. As she got closer, she could see the desire in Zhang Can’er’s eyes.
Unfortunately, Zhang Tu’s voice came over.
“Miss Zhang? Miss Wan?”
Zhang Can’er immediately came back to her senses, turned around, and saw Zhang Tu walking in from the corner.
Her expression was flustered for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.
She smiled and greeted Zhang Tu. Wan Feng brought a stool out of the house. “Sister Tu, please sit. We’ve just arrived, and we haven’t even made tea yet. We haven’t even prepared any cups. Please forgive us.”
Zhang Tu forced a smile and bowed to the two of them. “I’m here to apologize. My son was born later, so he’s a bit spoiled. But I’ve taught him everything he should know. I don’t know why he’s become like this. I’m sorry, you two. I’m here to apologize to you.”
With that, she stood up and handed a small box to Zhang Can’er. “This is a small gift. Please accept it.”
Zhang Can’er stared at the box and said with a frown, “We won’t accept the gift. And I won’t accept the apology either. How can a mother apologize for her own son’s mistake?”
Zhang Tu was stunned for a moment, lowered her head, her eyes a little moist. “His sister broke both his legs. It’s not even certain if he’ll be able to see you alive. So it’s not a problem for me to apologize on his behalf.”
“I suppose you’ve also personally apologized after beating him up when Lin Chen made this kind of mistake before, right? And you used the same excuse, saying he was beaten so badly he couldn’t get out of bed, so you had to come yourself. Do you really think it’s okay?” Wan Feng said coldly.
Zhang Tu looked up and stared at Wan Feng in stunned surprise.
Wan Feng looked directly into her eyes, a chilling aura emanating from them. The words she spoke were also bone-chillingly cold. “Is this what you call teaching him everything? He has never admitted his mistakes. So he thinks that although this matter is wrong, you will cover for him.
“He’s only suffered a beating. Anyway, you will treat him. In less than a month, the injury will be healed. Then as long as he’s a little more careful and not discovered by you, he can have fun for a while again.
“During this period, how many girls have chosen to swallow their anger because of you? How many girls have been tortured to death by them? And how many girls have been humiliated by them? Do you know? Letting him die so quickly is letting him off easy. I really want to torture him myself and let him know what it’s like to be better off dead!”
After hearing this, Zhang Tu was stunned on the spot. She had originally thought that Lin Chen was just a bit mischievous and would grow out of it. Each time these things happened, she would also patiently teach him. But each time, Lin Chen would use his injuries as an excuse to not let her speak.
Over time, it had become a pattern of her beating him up and then apologizing. She hadn’t expected that this was also spoiling him. She was wrong, terribly wrong.
Thinking of the girls she had discovered, they all had injuries on their bodies without exception. What about the ones she hadn’t discovered? Zhang Tu didn’t dare to think.
Because of her position, basically no one dared to talk about such things in front of her. Many times, it was only when she heard or saw it that she went to solve it.
She closed her eyes, letting the tears flow down. She bowed to Wan Feng and Zhang Can’er. “I’m sorry.”
After speaking, she turned and left. What should be said had been said, and what shouldn’t be said had also been said. Wan Feng felt that she had done all she could.
Zhang Can’er had been watching from the side the whole time. She could understand Zhang Tu’s feelings as a mother. But what Lin Chen had done, even before the apocalypse, was a capital crime, with no room for discussion.
It was just that after the apocalypse, the world’s order had collapsed, and the evil thoughts in many people’s hearts had been released. How could the Federation still care about these things? It was good enough to be alive.
So why did no one dare to tell Zhang Tu? This was the reason. The Federation had no time to care, and it was Zhang Tu’s own son who had committed the crime. Even if it were reported, what was the use? He had only suffered a beating, and nothing had happened to him. If he came to trouble them again later, it would be hard to say if they would even be alive.
With a sigh, Zhang Can’er looked at Wan Feng. “The water is about to boil dry.”
Wan Feng paused, only then remembering the pot of water. She quickly took the pot down with a rag.
Fortunately, she had put a lot of water in; otherwise, the pot would have been burned through.
But the remaining water was only enough for one person to wash.
“You wash first. After you’re done, go to Uncle Zhou’s place.”
Zhang Can’er did not refuse and nodded in agreement. The two of them tacitly did not mention what had just happened. There was nothing more to say. Lin Chen did deserve to die.
After the two of them had taken a bath, they went to Zhou Zhong’s place.
When Zhou Zhong saw them arrive, there was no smile on his face. Instead, he asked with some urgency, “Are you two okay? That kid Lin Chen has been spoiled by his mother. He doesn’t know the severity of things sometimes. He didn’t make things difficult for you, did he?”
“No. Sister Tu came back later and said it would be handled tomorrow,” Zhang Can’er said with a smile.
“That’s good. What are you two here for?” Zhou Zhong asked after breathing a sigh of relief.
“Oh, we haven’t eaten since morning. We wanted to know where we can cook or get food.”
“Didn’t Wang Yang send you food?” Zhou Zhong asked, puzzled.
Zhang Can’er shook her head. “No. So someone was supposed to send us food?”
Zhou Zhong’s face immediately fell, his expression terrifyingly dark. “Come on, I’ll stand up for you.”
The two of them followed behind Zhou Zhong to a wooden house. The house was very large, and there were many people inside at this time. They would all greet Zhou Zhong when they saw him, and then they would all stare at Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng.
But they were just a few idle people. Many people were busy with their own affairs, but basically all were doing farm work, some looking at seeds, some washing seeds. They looked quite busy.
Zhou Zhong bypassed the front yard and went to the backyard. He slapped the muscular man. Wang Yang turned around angrily and saw Zhou Zhong’s dark face. When he saw the two people behind him, he knew what was going on.
“Uncle Zhou, can’t you be a little gentler?”
“Hmph, don’t try to change the subject. It’s almost one o’clock. Where’s their food? Is this how you do your job when you’re getting paid? You didn’t even send it to them in the morning. What are you trying to do? Huh?” Zhou Zhong poked Wang Yang’s head, his face red with anger.
But Wang Yang didn’t say a word, letting Zhou Zhong hit and scold him.
“Speak up! Are you mute? Where’s their food?”
Wang Yang glanced at him and whispered, “It was taken by Ji Wenqing and the others.”
