Lin Shichu made dinner. It was already after eight o'clock when Lin's father and Lin's mother got off work. If she didn't make dinner and had to wait for her parents to come back to make it, it would not be dinner, but a midnight snack.
"Chuchu, how was the class today? Have you mastered all the knowledge points?" Lin's mother threw down the bag in her hand and asked Lin Shichu who was bringing out the dinner.
Lin Shichu nodded: "It's not bad, I can master it."
"That's good." Mother Lin said nonchalantly. In fact, she didn't really care about her daughter's study, she just made a routine inquiry.
Father and mother Lin are ordinary office workers. They own a house and a car, but the money to buy the house is a loan, so they have to pay back a lot of money every month, which is a lot of pressure. When they come back from get off work, they are so tired that they don't even want to talk.
In addition to Lin Shichu's daughter, they also have a six-year-old son, Lin Cong. However, Lin Cong is not at home this time. He went back to his hometown in the countryside two days ago. He said that his sick grandfather missed him terribly and asked him to go back. Stay with grandpa.
Father Lin and Mother Lin are not the kind of people who obviously favor sons over daughters. On the contrary, they often say that they want to raise their daughters richly and their sons poor. talk.
But in fact, just seeing that Lin Shichu is almost eighteen years old now, but has a six-year-old younger brother, you know what they are really thinking. Lin Cong is not an accident, but Lin's father and Lin's mother. I went to the hospital specifically for in vitro fertilization.
They are the kind of people who say that daughters and sons are treated equally, and even often say in daily life that they love their daughters the most. But when it comes to the ownership of the house in the future, they say without hesitation that the house should be left to their sons, and they also say that they love their daughters the most. It is said that it is because I believe that my daughter can buy a house with her own efforts, but my son has no ability and can only inherit the property from his parents...
This kind of parents can't say that they don't love their daughters, but they just don't love their sons that much. If there are no huge conflicts of interest, they may not expose this in their lifetime, but once there is a conflict of interest, then they will definitely stand on the side of On my son's side.
Do Father Lin and Mother Lin love Lin Shichu? Probably love them. After all, they are children who have been raised for more than ten years. Even if they have a dog, they have feelings; but they are not as loving as they say. After all, in their previous life, the original owner would take care of other people's elderly people as soon as school was over. During holidays, It was the same as on weekends, but Father Lin and Mother Lin had never noticed anything unusual about the original owner. If they were parents who really cared about their children, would this be the case?
Moreover, when the original owner failed in the college entrance examination and refused to repeat her studies, Father and Mother Lin kicked her out of the house and wanted to sever ties with her... Of course, most of the reason for this was that the original owner was too stupid and despicable, but If Father Lin and Mother Lin could really care about her and take measures to correct her behavior, or directly send her to a strict boarding school where she is not allowed to leave at will, maybe the original owner could be saved and her fate changed.
But Father Lin and Mother Lin chose the simplest and crudest way and gave up on her directly. They probably saw that this daughter was completely useless and useless, so it didn't matter if she abandoned her.
Of course, we can't blame them too much. After all, they raised the original owner until she was eighteen years old. If the original owner insisted on going all the way and refused to listen to advice, then there is nothing wrong with Father Lin and Mother Lin giving up on her. But in the eyes of outsiders, , just too cold and heartless.
Lin Shichu didn't have much objection to what Father Lin and Mother Lin did. In fact, if she were Father Lin and Mother Lin, with a daughter like the original owner, she would probably be kicked out of the house, but Shichu was just a little girl. Beasts, beasts are more beastly than human. It is in line with their nature to be so indifferent to their children, but Father Lin and Mother Lin... are human beings.
Of course, Lin Shichu would not retaliate against Lin's father and Lin's mother because they did not really love the original owner. After all, they had raised the original owner and fulfilled their parental responsibilities, but he wanted Lin Shichu to respect and love them more. That's not the case. At most, they are considered as cohabitants who are related by blood. When she goes to college in the future, she will only see her a few times a year, so it really doesn't matter.
"It's been so long since Congcong returned to his hometown. Is it time to bring him back? It's not good to take too long leave from kindergarten." Mother Lin suddenly said while eating her meal.
Father Lin nodded: "I will bring him back this weekend."
"Then I will buy some sea fish over the weekend. Congcong loves to eat fish, and children who eat more sea fish are also smart..." Mother Lin said enthusiastically. When she saw her silent daughter out of the corner of her eye, she was stunned for a moment, and then Said, "Of course, when I am in my third year of high school, I need to supplement my nutrition when I am under great pressure from studying. Marine fish happens to have high nutritional value!"
"Thank you, mom." Lin Shichu thanked his mother sensibly.
Lin's mother was indeed satisfied. She lovingly gave Lin Shichu a piece of eggplant and said, "Chuchu is sensible and filial. It's worth it for my mother to buy you sea fish at a high price."
She was obviously buying food for Lin Cong, but now she said that she was buying it for herself at a high price. Mother Lin would take the opportunity to express her gratitude.
Lin Shichu smiled indifferently.
"By the way, Chuchu, your brother is coming back at the weekend. Can you help him wash his sheets and quilt covers after school tomorrow?" Mother Lin said, "I have to work overtime tomorrow, so it's up to you."
"Sorry, Mom, the teacher said I will hold a pep rally after class tomorrow. I don't know when I will be back." Lin Shichu said to Mother Lin apologetically, "Are there no other clean quilt covers and sheets at home?"
"Yes, yes, since you are not free tomorrow, use something else." Mother Lin frowned slightly and said unhappily.
Lin Shichu didn't care whether she was happy or not, and Lin Cong was not her son. She was tired and time-consuming when she came home from school every afternoon to buy food and make dinner. After dinner, she had to do homework in various subjects, so she had no time at all. Time to wash my brother's sheets and quilt cover.
After Mrs. Lin finished eating, she said to Lin Shichu, "Wash the dishes. I'll take out the trash."
"Mom, I still have a lot of homework to do. If I don't do it, I won't be able to finish it by two or three o'clock. If you love me so much, you must be reluctant to let me do my homework so late, right?" Lin Shichu blinked his innocent and clear eyes. Eyes, said to Mother Lin.
Mother Lin was choked by her words, but she couldn't refute it. Could she say that she didn't actually love her daughter that much and asked her to finish washing the dishes before doing her homework?
So Mother Lin had to wash the dishes by herself.
Lin Shichu took his clothes and went to take a shower.
Mother Lin would go downstairs every night under the pretext of throwing away garbage, and then throw it away for half an hour or an hour. In fact, she went for a walk or watched other people dance in the square, and waited for the original owner to finish washing the dishes and mopping the floor before coming back. I just want to avoid washing dishes and mopping the floor.
It was true that she was tired after a day of class, but Lin Shichu also had a day of class and even cooked when he came back. Wasn't Lin Shichu tired? Since you say you love your daughter, you must take practical actions.
