"Tu, tutoring?" Su Li looked at Shimu in surprise, "Why do you need tutoring?"
"Your grades are so poor, of course you need to take extra lessons." Shi's mother patted Su Li's shoulder lightly, and said, "You were still doing well in junior high school, why is it like this now? Quietly, mom treats you The requirements are not high, but the college entrance examination is coming soon, so you can’t fail every class.”
Su Li curled her lips, "You never asked me before."
Shi's mother smiled awkwardly. She also knew that she didn't care enough for her daughter, but it wasn't for work. Whose family's good life falls from the sky, it is naturally obtained through hard work. Besides, she didn't want to be a housewife.
Why does a woman have to be a housewife? She also has her own career and her own dreams. Why does she have to sacrifice herself for the family? So why aren't men sacrificing their jobs to be stay-at-home husbands? It's not fair, is it
People in the world often feel that it is the responsibility of mothers to care less about their children and to educate them less. It seems that the father was born to work outside and not be responsible for the family, but why
Anyway, she didn't want to be a housewife, so she and her husband quarreled for a long time. Both of them were unwilling to compromise with each other, and even began to compete. In the end, however, it is often the children who are hurt.
Shi's mother felt that she owed her child, but this debt was not enough for her to compromise. Therefore, she is willing to try her best to meet her daughter's requirements, of course, mostly material requirements.
And this time Ji Huai's home visit also deepened her debt, making her feel that she should care more about her daughter. So she asked Ji Huai to give her tutoring, and Ji Huai agreed.
"Quietly, mother, this is for your own good, you know?" Shi Mu said.
Su Li looked at her with complicated eyes, she looked a little embarrassed at Shi Mu, and looked away.
"So what if I study well? You and Dad don't care." Su Li's words were a little self-deprecating, which also made Shi's mother feel a little bit worried. "You two competed with each other, and you didn't pay attention to me in the end, did you?"
Shi Mu sighed, not knowing what to say.
"You don't need to explain anything, I understand. In fact, it's better that you don't get married at the beginning, or don't give birth to me." Su Li continued.
Shimu's lips moved, a little helpless and a little angry, but in the end they all turned into helplessness.
In the end, it was Ji Huai who broke the embarrassing atmosphere. He said: "You mother and daughter may need to talk, so I'll leave now. Regarding the tutoring, you can discuss it before deciding."
When Shi Mu came to her senses, she sent Ji Huai out after a few polite words.
Su Li sat on the sofa without moving.
When he reached the door, Ji Huai turned his head to look at her. She lowered her head slightly, unable to see the expression on her face clearly, but it made him feel that she must be very lonely at this time.
After Ji Huai left, Shi Mu sat back down again, sighed and said, "Quiet, Mom is sorry..."
Su Li shook her head, "There's nothing to apologize for. At least you didn't freeze me or starve me. This is already much better than many parents. I saw a mother leave her newborn baby girl in the Where's the trash can?"
Su Li said this calmly, but it made Shi's mother feel cold.
