Turning Antagonist to Protagonist: He is Both Soft and Fierce-Chapter 146 - 141: Zhou Tiedan Is Annoying, Always Taking the Things His Sister-in-law Bought for Him
Zhou Tiedan grabbed him and wouldn’t let him go, "Tingfan, come on, dig some out for me, Tingfan!!"
Song Tingfan doesn’t like being touched by others, he pushed him away and said stiffly, "Don’t touch me."
Zhou Tiedan knew his annoying habit and pouted, "You let Madam Tingfan touch your head, why can’t I touch you? Song Tingfan, you’re choosing romance over friendship!"
"It’s different." Song Tingfan said seriously.
He likes Madam Tingfan touching his head.
Doesn’t like Zhou Tiedan touching him.
Zhou Tiedan blocked him, angrily threatening him, "If you don’t help me dig out bird eggs, I’ll have Zhou Baoying marry you, crying every day to annoy you."
His little sister always talks about Song Tingfan and doesn’t allow him to speak ill of him.
He’s very angry.
"Zhou Tiedan, stop talking nonsense." Song Tingfan pressed his lips tightly.
Zhou Tiedan continued to block him without moving, "Then dig out the bird eggs for me."
Song Tingfan took a few deep breaths, stuffed things to him, climbed up the tree, and dug out a few bird eggs for him, then took his things and left.
After dividing the eggs with his friends, Zhou Tiedan caught up with Song Tingfan, holding three bird eggs, "Did you go to the county town to play? What did you play?"
"Didn’t play."
"Then why did you go?"
...
Afraid of being scolded for boiling bird eggs at home, Zhou Tiedan shamelessly followed Song Tingfan home, and Lin Qiao was cooking dinner.
Zhou Tiedan grinned, "Madam, can I roast a few bird eggs?"
Wondering why he’s so obsessed with bird eggs, Lin Qiao smiled, "Go ahead."
"Madam, you’re so nice, even better than my sister-in-law," Zhou Tiedan flattered.
Seeing his eyes squinted with laughter, Lin Qiao chuckled, "Really? Careful or I’ll tell your sister-in-law?"
Seeing the two chatting happily, the quiet Song Tingfan nudged Zhou Tiedan aside, "There’s no room. Go outside, I’ll cook for you."
Zhou Tiedan glanced at the extra stools beside him, puzzled, "You have so much space over there."
But soon he thought roasting bird eggs was boring, so he headed out to the yard to tease the dog, "I’m going out to play." Saying that, he ran out.
Not long later, he ran in holding the mask Lin Qiao bought for Song Tingfan, exclaiming, "Tingfan, you actually have a mask, it’s so beautiful!"
Seeing the mask in his hand, Song Tingfan quickly stood up and snatched it, raising his voice slightly, "Zhou Tiedan, why are you taking my stuff?"
"Where did you get the mask? Let me wear it, let me wear it," Zhou Tiedan was completely captivated by the mask.
Song Tingfan saw a few black handprints on the mask, if it weren’t for Madam being there, he would have scolded Zhou Tiedan.
He took a cloth and gently wiped it, refusing firmly, "My madam bought it for me; you go buy your own."
Zhou Tiedan is so annoying, always taking things Madam bought for him.
Seeing his madam bought something again, Zhou Tiedan was jealous, he wanted to ask his madam for something too, not caring about the bird eggs, he dashed home.
Mrs. Xue was eating rice cakes, seeing Zhou Tiedan rush home, she hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth, afraid she wouldn’t be able to eat it later.
Zhou Tiedan ran up and pulled her arm, "Madam, buy me a mask."
"What mask? I don’t have silver coin, your brother doesn’t let me manage the silver coin."
Mrs. Xue swallowed the food, choking a bit, "Tiedan, quick, help me pat my back."
Zhou Tiedan helped her pat it, seeing Madam was comfortable, he cried, "Madam, ask big brother for it, he will surely give it to you."
"Your big brother says I’m buying you things irresponsibly, he won’t give me." Mrs. Xue said helplessly.
"If you cry, big brother will definitely give it to you."
"..., then I’ll ask your big brother later."
Just as Mrs. Xue finished saying this, Zhou Ping and the others came back carrying hoes, Zhou Tiedan tugged at Mrs. Xue’s sleeve, Mrs. Xue coughed a bit, "Big Brother..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Qiuzhi put down the hoe, "Zhou Tiedan, are you pulling your madam again to buy something, do you believe I’ll skin you?"
"Zhou Qiuzhi, why are you scaring Tiedan? He didn’t ask me to buy anything, I just feel unwell and want to see a doctor." Mrs. Xue sounded nothing like being sick.
Zhou Qiuzhi was too familiar with their routine, not daring to scold his wife, he yelled at Zhou Tiedan, "Zhou Tiedan, come here."
"I’m not coming unless you buy me a mask." Zhou Tiedan hid behind Mrs. Xue.
Zhou Tiedan’s mother came from the doorway with a stick, pointing at Zhou Tiedan, "Mask? All day wanting weird things, your studies aren’t improving."
"Madam Tingfan bought a mask for Tingfan! Why don’t I have one?" Seeing his mother was about to hit him, Zhou Tiedan immediately cried and ran inside to hide.
"Then go with Madam Tingfan!" Zhou Tiedan’s mother yelled.
"I will go, I’ll go right away." Zhou Tiedan, stubborn, opened the door and rushed outside but was caught by his mother and got hit several times with a stick.
Zhou Qiuzhi quickly intervened, "Mom, stop hitting."
Zhou Ping felt sorry for his grandson, "Don’t always hit him. If he wants a mask, then buy one, it’s not that expensive anyway."
"Dad, don’t spoil him..."
...
When Song Tingfan came to deliver the roasted bird eggs, Zhou Tiedan was already finished being beaten, sitting in the yard feeling wronged, Mrs. Xue was comforting him.
Zhou Tiedan’s mother couldn’t stand it, "Stop comforting him, the more you comfort him, the more he takes advantage..."
She suddenly saw Song Tingfan at the door, affectionately said, "Tingfan, is there something you need?"
"Tiedan’s roasted bird eggs." Song Tingfan glanced at Zhou Tiedan, seeming like he was beaten.
Mrs. Xue quickly came to take the eggs to comfort Zhou Tiedan: "Tiedan, quickly eat bird eggs, your favorite bird eggs."
Zhou Tiedan was spoiled by the family, what he wanted had to be obtained, he sniffed, "Tingfan, tell my mom, isn’t it your madam bought a mask for you?"
"Tingfan, don’t mind him, he’s just being stupid." Zhou Tiedan’s mother handed a bunch of greens to Song Tingfan and said, "Take it back to eat, come play when you have time."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhou." Song Tingfan took the greens and left.
Zhou Tiedan’s mother squinted at her still sobbing son, then looked at the back of Song Tingfan walking away, "Look at how sensible Tingfan is, then look at you, already thirteen, still pestering for things."
"That’s because you guys won’t buy it for me!" Zhou Tiedan countered confidently.
"I don’t want to talk to you!" Zhou Tiedan’s mother said angrily.
...
The next day, Mrs. Xue went to the Song’s second family house, Lin Qiao was a bit surprised since the adults from both families rarely interacted.
She took out some dried goods, "Madam Zhou, have some."
Mrs. Xue hesitated, feeling embarrassed, "Sister Song, where did you buy the mask for Tingfan?"
Lin Qiao paused for a moment, then replied, "In the county town."
"So far away, I was also thinking to buy one for Tiedan." Mrs. Xue was troubled.
"If Madam Zhou wants to buy a mask, I could ask the boss at the fabric shop to help bring one back." Lin Qiao thought to foster good relations with the Zhou family, so she offered to help with this small favor.
Mrs. Xue was delighted, "Really? Then please help me bring one back, how much silver coin, is fifty cents enough?"
Everyone in Zhou’s family spoils Zhou Tiedan, no wonder compared to Song Tingfan, he was much more childish, Lin Qiao was more convinced to follow the route of spoiling her brother-in-law, smiling, "Twenty cents will be enough."
