"Zhenzhen, why didn't you agree to ask you to come out recently?"
Xu Linxi knew that Yan Zhen would go to Shencheng with her father this winter vacation, so she came to look for Yan Zhen after the Chinese New Year was over.
Originally, when she transferred from another school, she only played well with Yan Zhen, her deskmate, but now that Yan Zhen doesn't hang out with her, she feels bored by herself.
"Is it because your father refuses to give you money?"
Xu Linxi looked at the little girl sitting across from him with hatred. With her soft temper, she will not be bullied to death by her brother in the future.
In Xu Linxi's view, all the younger brothers are demons, and the elder brother is not much better. Parents only have those sons in their eyes, and girls like them are unloved.
Although Yan Zhen's younger brother is still young, in Yan Zhen's mouth, he is still a very sensible child, but in Xu Linxi's view, when the child grows up, he will show his talent as a devil, and when the time comes, the Yan family will The girls just waited to be a cow and a horse for him, the root of Old Yan's family, for the rest of their lives.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she was doing now, she just saved a little cabbage from the sea of suffering early.
"This trip, my sister and I went to Shencheng with my dad. My dad is really not easy."
Yan Zhen described in detail what she saw and heard when she set off from the provincial capital to Shencheng with Xu Linxi, focusing on her father's hard work.
"I also tried to sell couplets for half a month. I have to get up every day at dawn, I have to endure the pickiness of customers, I have to keep a smile on every customer, I have to be sweet and talkative, and when my mouth is dry, I can't wait a day. Earn three or four yuan, and this is because my father paid for the train ticket to Shencheng."
This place is different from Shencheng. The people who buy goods are ordinary people who have a need for goods. There are no merchants who buy goods in large quantities. There were many people selling couplets on the street a few years ago, and most of those people bought goods from small factories nearby. , the couplet style is not as novel as Yan Zhen, so naturally it is not as popular as her.
In addition to the small factories that have sprung up in Shencheng one after another, the price of these small commodities is extremely low due to competition, and they all follow the path of small profits but quick turnover. In this way, Yan Zhen's profits can be higher than others. higher.
But as I said before, it was all because Yan Chu contracted the round-trip train ticket.
After a period of training, Yan Zhen really realized how hard it is to make money.
It's not that it's wrong to want to live a good life, or that liking skating is a bad hobby, but that this level of consumption is not something she can afford now.
"But you also said that your dad can always buy a lot of good things if he doesn't go there. Semiconductors and BB machines are so popular now. He has something to do with getting a fixed source of goods. He must have made a lot of money. , why are you so picky on your sisters, you don't even want to buy a few boxes of lunch."
Xu Linxi insisted that Yan Zhen was brainwashed by her father, and that such a silly girl might be taught to become a big fool who is willing to sacrifice for the family and give selflessly in the future.
"That's because there are a lot of places to spend money at home. Besides, didn't you buy a house and owe so much debt, my dad is naturally reluctant to spend money." Yan Zhen defended her father.
"The house, the house, no matter how good the house is, it will be your brother's in the future."
Xu Linxi took a look at Yan Zhen's room. Now the children are sleeping in separate rooms. Except for the jade sisters who strongly requested to sleep in one room because they are twins, the other children, including Yan Yuanbao, who is only six years old, already have their own room. separate housing.
Although this little man is a bit timid, he always hugs his little pillow and runs to grandma or dad to sleep on the bed when it rains and thunderstorms, in the name of protecting grandma and dad.
In fact, just from the layout of the house, it can be seen that the girls are very loved by their families. Yan Zhen made a lot of dolls with those scrap materials, and also made a very artistic curtain. The room is not big , but tidy and tidy, very girlish.
But Xu Linxi is a demon, because of his own experience, he doesn't believe that there are families who don't like boys.
"Even if it's given to my brother, so what. Anyway, I didn't earn the money to buy the house. Besides, I can earn money in the future. I can buy a house for myself."
Xu Linxi spoke ill of her father time and time again, and Yan Zhen also became angry. Good friends had an argument for the first time, and then they broke up.
"Idiot idiot big idiot."
Xu Linxi rushed out from Yan's house, and when he was out the door, he stomped his feet angrily, then wiped his eyes and turned to leave.
In fact, she was also loved by her parents when she was a child, but that memory was too short. In addition, she was young at that time, and she didn't remember much about the happiness she once had.
When she was a little older, the conflicts between her parents gradually began to appear, because her mother never conceived a child after giving birth to her, and both grandparents and father wanted a boy, and there were frequent quarrels in the family.
Later, my mother couldn't bear the scolding from her father and chose to divorce. No one asked her opinion. Before she accepted the family breakdown, one remarried and the other remarried.
Her stepmother conceived in the second year of her marriage and gave birth to her a younger brother.
Her mother also quickly became pregnant after remarrying, and gave birth to a younger brother for her.
In the end, both of them got what they wanted, only her, the crystallization of love before, became an eyesore.
The stepmother doesn't like her, thinks she has a bad temper, and spends her son's money. The mother prefers the son who was hard-won, and doesn't care what kind of life she leads.
So from a very young age, Xu Linxi had a concept that everyone likes sons, and as a girl, she is destined to be unlikable.
Gradually, she understood that those people didn't like her because she was ignorant or disobedient, or because she was poor at school, but because she was a girl, so they didn't like her.
Xu Linxi sees it, they don't like her, she doesn't have to like them, don't compromise to please them, she starts to learn to be bad, and starts to ask her parents for money without any scruples, especially when the stepmother is sleeping with her. After driving her to her grandma's house in the provincial capital, she didn't even have the slightest feeling for it.
That woman dared to deduct her living expenses, so she dared to take a long-distance bus overnight to his father's unit to make trouble. She is not yet an adult, so it should be for her to eat and drink.
She didn't feel that the man and the woman needed to be moved after they gave her living expenses. The living expenses she asked for were not given by them sincerely, so there was nothing to be moved.
When they get old in the future, they can rely on their precious sons. Unless they can be as shameless as her and ask for money in a humble manner, maybe she will be in a good mood and give them some mercifully.
In Xu Linxi's view, Yan Zhen's situation is similar to hers. People who don't like sons can continue to have five daughters in a row, and even their daughter-in-law's life is lost because of having children.
She felt that the old lady of the Yan family and Yan's father just hid it better, and when their daughters hindered her son in the future, these benevolent elders would be the first to give up on them.
"Sooner or later, I will let Zhenzhen see your true colors, so that she won't be deceived like I was foolishly."
Yan Chu was about to enter the house when he was suddenly stopped by a somewhat strange little girl. After careful examination, he recognized that this was a friend of the second girl, who had met at home several times before.
He subconsciously covered his pockets. Could it be that his wealth was exposed
People are going to collapse!
"You all like sons and sons. If you have the ability, let all the women in the world die. Let's see who will give birth to your sons."
Xu Linxi is a girl who is against her parents, how could she be afraid of other people's fathers.
When he was about to leave, Xu Linxi stopped him without hesitation when he saw Yan Zhen's father coming back from outside, protesting and clamoring for his good friend.
"Are you Erzhen's friend? I remember you, Xixi."
Xixi is Xu Linxi's nickname. When she was a child, her parents used to call her that, but now it doesn't. For a disobedient and unfilial daughter, calling her a big name seems unlucky.
"Humph."
Xu Linxi didn't want to admit it, but the handsome middle-aged man on the opposite side made a soft sound, which made her feel a little dazed for a moment.
"Wow--Dad, I'll give you the money, how about Yuan Bao not wearing pink clothes?"
Hearing his father's voice, Yan Yuanbao came out on his little fat legs. He looked at the bag in his father's hand, with a corner of pink fabric protruding from it, and suddenly felt that the world was falling apart.
The scene of the original confrontation became ridiculous because of the episode of Yan Yuanbao. Yan Chu waved to the bully little girl. to the Yan family.
*****
"So you think we will treat Er Zhen badly just because of this?"
In the main room, Yan Chu heard Xu Linxi's doubts, and saw her voice getting softer and softer under his sight, and didn't know what to say.
"Then do you think you can achieve your wish in this way?"
Yan Chu felt that he came to this world to be an education expert, not only to teach his own children, but also to teach other people's children. If the Education Bureau didn't give him a job, he would be sorry for his efforts.
"If you give up on yourself like this now, it will only make your parents think that it is right for them not to like you. They will only think that you are not as good as your younger brother. Just like that, you still want your parents to regret it in the future?"
Yan Chu hit the little girl's pride.
"If I were you, I would study hard and stand out in the future, and then stand in front of them with a higher attitude, let them see that you are thousands of times better than their favorite son, and then proudly say that it was you Don't want me, now you don't want them."
Yan Chu's words completely opened Xu Linxi's defenses, her lips twitched, and it took a long time before she opened her mouth.
"Don't you think such a child is very unfilial?"
The current mainstream thinking is that there are no wrong parents. No matter how your parents treat you, as long as you don’t starve to death, you should be filial to them. Even if they beat you and scold you, you must also be considerate of them, because they brought you This world has given you this flesh and blood, so you are naturally indebted to them.
Grandma and grandpa were very kind to her, but they were always worried about her temperament, and advised her to understand her parents more, but the man in front of her who she didn't like said something that made her feel fresh and new.
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that she is so self-defeating now, except to make her two stepmothers and stepfathers who are not used to her happier, it seems to be of no use at all.
"Parents can choose whether to let their children into this world, but children have no chance to choose."
The love of parents and the filial piety of children are relative in Yan Chu's view. The little girl in front of him has never received the care and consideration of her parents. Even the living expenses are paid by her regardless. The onlookers have never felt what she felt. Naturally, he is not qualified to forgive her for her pain.
The left and right are to return the money spent over the years when they are old, and they owe nothing.
Of course, the right to choose is still in Xu Linxi's hands, all Yan Chu can do is to tell this silly girl not to joke about her own future.
People who don't care about you, even if you fall into the mud, he won't feel sorry for you, and even if the mud rubs against you, he will dislike you for being dirty. She wants to attract attention like this naively, and secretly wants those people to regret her actions. It was wrong to begin with.
"Now I believe Zhenzhen is right, you are a good father."
Although the conversation was short, Xu Linxi's view of Yan Chu changed drastically.
Yan Chu's sitting posture became more upright, of course he knew he was a good father.
After sending away a lost lamb who had been relieved, Yan Chu looked at his little son, who clenched his fists with both hands and blocked his mouth with a flushed face.
There was no outsider, Yan Yuanbao grinned at the pink corner protruding from the bag, and wanted to cry again.
