Chapter 245: The aggrieved Yingzi, Zhou Chen comes up with an idea
As a father, my daughter skipped class and played with toys right under my nose. Instead of stopping her, she helped her lie and ask for leave. This is not what a qualified father should do.
This kind of behavior is no longer pampering, but pampering, bottomless pampering.
Although Zhou Chen is very familiar with Qiao Yingzi, they are not in the same class after all. If Qiao Yingzi deliberately wanted to hide, it would not be easy for him to find out that Qiao Yingzi was skipping class.
Li Meng asked again: "Zhou Chen, Fang Yifan, do you know Yingzi's situation? If you don't know, tell her quickly. Otherwise, I will call her mother to ask about the situation."
When Fang Yifan heard this, he was immediately shocked. He had a good relationship with Qiao Yingzi and knew clearly that once Song Qian knew that Yingzi had skipped class, something terrible would happen.
"Yes, we know that Yingzi is actually not feeling well. Mainly because she stays up late studying every night, which makes her unable to get up in the morning. She is not in a good mental state. She must be sick."
"I got sick?"
Li Meng looked puzzled: "You can ask for leave if you are sick. Missing a class without saying a word will have a very bad impact."
Fang Yifan mumbled and didn't know how to answer, so he could only use his eyes to signal Zhou Chen to speak quickly.
Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said: "Yingzi actually suffered from hypoglycemia, so she felt dizzy and unable to get up in the morning. It was probably because of this that she forgot to call."
Although it is not good to help lie, at this time, Zhou Chen naturally cannot betray his friends and can only help find an excuse.
Li Meng suddenly said in shock: "Yingzi is hypoglycemic? This is not a trivial matter. Hypoglycemia will seriously affect her study. No, I have to call her again to ask."
Seeing this, Zhou Chen immediately said: "Teacher Li, if nothing happens, we will go back first."
"Go ahead."
As soon as he returned to the classroom, Zhou Chen hurriedly said to Fang Yifan: "Hurry up and call Yingzi, tell her the situation, and let her and her dad find a solution. Otherwise, if the trouble comes to her mother, the two of them will really have to fight."
Tough luck."
Fang Yifan asked in surprise: "What do you know about Yingzi?"
"Her dad moved to Shuxiang Yayuan and gave her a secret base. I guess Yingzi skipped class just to play with toys at her dad's place. You should call her and inform her quickly."
"Okay, I'll go right away. Yingzi is serious. Just have fun. Why are you skipping class?"
Thinking about Qiao Yingzi skipping class, Zhou Chen thought about how to stop it, because he knew that if he didn't stop it, Song Qian would definitely go crazy again if she saw Qiao Yingzi with Qiao Weidong and his girlfriend.
Once Song Qian goes crazy, it will be a huge disaster for Qiao Yingzi, and it is likely to trigger the outbreak of her depression.
Zhou Chen doesn’t know much about depression, but he also knows that it is not a short-term disease, but a disease that accumulates over time. It may not be noticeable at ordinary times, but it often breaks out at a certain moment.
come out.
In this world, Zhou Chen has no mission, so he just wants to live according to his own ideas.
He has been in this world for two months and has gradually become familiar with it. He has decided to learn some majors in this world that interest him and accumulate more knowledge and experience, so he will definitely stay there for a long time.
Since he wants to stay in this world for a long time, Zhou Chen naturally cannot allow himself to be single all the time. He has to have a career and a relationship.
For now, he thinks Qiao Yingzi is good and suitable to be a girlfriend. As for the hidden dangers of depression, he hasn't thought too much about it.
Nowadays, who dares to say that their body must be healthy?
Even Zhou Chen, whose physical fitness has been systematically improved, does not dare to say that there will be no problem with his body.
If you really want to find a fault, everyone will probably have some fault. It just depends on the impact and whether it will break out.
To put it bluntly, people who pursue physical health too much often end up with bodies that are not as good as those of ordinary people.
Fang Yifan hurried back and reported to Zhou Chen.
"I have already called Yingzi and told her the excuses we gave. She said we will wait and see, but what you said is indeed right. Yingzi is playing at her father's place. I have asked her to come to school quickly.
.”
"It's true Yingzi, skipping classes should be reserved for poor students like us. She is a top student, but she has learned how to skip classes."
Zhou Chen said: "It has nothing to do with being a top student or a bad student. Yingzi was so squeezed by her mother that when her father came over, she completely released herself, so she skipped class."
At the same time, he prayed silently in his heart: I hope that the bloody plot in the TV series will not happen, causing Song Qian to bump into Qiao Weidong's girlfriend Xiao Meng.
It's just that sometimes praying doesn't work. Just like this time, in the afternoon, Zhou Chen found out that Qiao Yingzi hadn't come to class yet, and couldn't get through on the phone.
Zhou Chen knew without thinking that something must have happened.
In addition to him, Huang Zhitao and Fang Yifan also called Qiao Yingzi, but neither got through.
It wasn't until Zhou Chen came home from his evening self-study in the evening that he was surprised to find Qiao Yingzi squatting in front of his house with his head buried in the ground.
"Eiko."
Qiao Yingzi raised her head. Her eyes were already a little red and swollen, and it looked like she had been crying for a long time.
Zhou Chen squatted down, looked at the pitiful Qiao Yingzi, and asked softly: "Did you have a fight with your mother?"
Qiao Yingzi sobbed twice and couldn't help but shed tears. She said aggrievedly: "Zhou Chen, what should I do?"
Zhou Chen sighed and gently hugged Qiao Yingzi into his arms.
"It's okay, Yingzi, it's okay."
After lying on Zhou Chen's shoulder for several minutes, Qiao Yingzi recovered and left Zhou Chen's arms.
"I am really unlucky today. How could it be such a coincidence that my mother happened to see me?"
Speaking of what happened today, Qiao Yingzi was really aggrieved and regretful. It was true that she wanted to skip class today, but Xiao Meng's sudden appearance was something she did not expect.
She gave Xiao Meng the bird's nest cooked by her mother, and by chance, her mother Song Qian happened to see it, and Song Qian exploded at that time.
After Qiao Yingzi returned home, she kept coaxing her mother, hoping to get her mother's forgiveness.
But Song Qian is really a cruel person. Not only did she not forgive Qiao Yingzi, she even had a big quarrel with Qiao Yingzi, and finally attacked Qiao Yingzi.
Although Song Qian is very strict with Qiao Yingzi, she has never hit her since she was a child. This is the first time she has ever done anything to Qiao Yingzi.
After taking action, both mother and daughter were stunned. One ran to the house downstairs, and the other hid in the room. It wasn't until it got dark not long ago that Qiao Yingzi walked out and squatted at the door of her house.
"I yelled at my mother today. This was the first time I yelled at my mother. It was also the first time my mother hit me. She must hate me to death and will never forgive me again."
Zhou Chen consoled him: "Yingzi, if you think so, you are absolutely wrong."
"You think you yelled at your mother and your mother hit you out of anger because she was disappointed in you; in fact, it is not the case. There is only one reason why your mother is angry and hits you, and that is that she cares about you.
"
"Just imagine, if your mother didn't love you and didn't care about you, she would be so angry after seeing you with your father and the others?"
Qiao Yingzi answered without hesitation: "No, I know she cares about me, but this time I really hurt her heart. What should I do?"
"There is no overnight feud between mothers and daughters. You just think too much. In fact, it is not as serious as you think. No matter how cruel your mother is, as her only daughter, will she really ignore you?"
"If you really want your mother to relieve her anger, what you have to do is very simple, just don't explain anything and just admit your mistake."
"But I have a question, and it can be said that I am unfounded. If you keep your head down, even if it can be solved this time, but if similar things happen in the future, will you continue to admit your mistakes like that, and this cycle will continue?"
"I."
Qiao Yingzi didn't know how to answer. From the quarrel to now, what she thought about most was to calm her mother down. She didn't think about much else.
Now that Zhou Chen brought this up, she felt inexplicably agitated and didn't know what to do. Did she really want to be the same as before?
Seeing Qiao Yingzi's hesitant look, Zhou Chen also sighed secretly.
Qiao Yingzi has a cheerful personality and is easier to get along with than most girls. She belongs to the type that caters to both men and women and can make friends with both boys and girls.
But when facing her parents, Qiao Yingzi seemed very cowardly, especially when facing her mother Song Qian. She was even more cowardly. She didn't dare to resist Song Qian at all. She was almost modeled after Qiao Weidong.
It was precisely because of this cowardice that Qiao Yingzi gradually fell into entanglements and was unable to get out, which gradually led to her depression.
Zhou Chen felt that if he wanted to prevent Qiao Yingzi's depression from breaking out, the best way was to change her personality.
It's just that this kind of thing is easy to say, but not so easy to do.
After being weak to my mother for more than ten years, it is really difficult to turn around in one day.
As for Song Qian, in the TV series, she only changed after learning that Qiao Yingzi suffered from severe depression. Before the depression was discovered, it can be said that it is impossible to expect Song Qian to change.
Since Song Qian cannot change, Qiao Yingzi can only make changes.
"Can't make up your mind, can you?"
Qiao Yingzi didn't speak and nodded silently. The look of pear blossoms with rain made Zhou Chen feel soft in his heart.
"You can tell by the look on your face that you haven't had dinner yet. Come on, come back with me first and I'll make some noodles for you."
"But my mother might be back soon. If she can't see me, she will definitely be even more angry." Qiao Yingzi looked hesitant.
Qiao Yingzi's reaction made Zhou Chen really don't know what to say.
"Don't think about this now. Your mother left you at home for so long and hasn't come back yet. Why aren't you angry? If you go back with me now, you can try your mother's attitude towards you. She hasn't been angry since she came back.
When she sees you, if she looks around anxiously, it means she cares about you; if she doesn't look for you, it means she may be really angry."
"What you have to do now is go back with me to eat, and then think about other things after you're full."
Zhou Chen pulled Qiao Yingzi up and dragged her towards his home.
At the beginning, Qiao Yingzi struggled, but when she arrived at Zhou Chen's house, she stopped struggling.
This was the first time Qiao Yingzi came to Zhou Chen's house. She didn't touch Lego immediately, but just sat quietly on the sofa.
Zhou Chen skillfully turned on the gas and started boiling water. In less than ten minutes, a bowl of vegetables and egg noodles was ready.
Putting the noodles in front of Qiao Yingzi, Zhou Chen said softly: "Eat, not eating is not good for your stomach. Even if you want to cry or get angry, wait until you are full. Isn't it the old saying that people are iron?
It’s steel. If you don’t eat one meal, you’ll be starved.”
"Pfft."
The sad-looking Qiao Yingzi couldn't hold it back, burst out laughing, and then glanced at Zhou Chen sheepishly.
"Only you can talk."
As she said that, she picked up the noodles Zhou Chen had ordered for her: "I'll take a bite first. If it doesn't taste good, I won't eat it."
That's what she said, but after she took a sip, she couldn't stop using her chopsticks, and she finished the big bowl of noodles very quickly.
After finishing the noodles, Qiao Yingzi felt even more embarrassed. She just said she wouldn't eat them, but ended up finishing a large bowl of noodles, which was a slap in the face too quickly.
"Are you feeling better?"
Zhou Chen put the bowls and chopsticks aside, sat on the coffee table, and asked Qiao Yingzi face to face.
Qiao Yingzi said: "Much better, what time is it now?"
Zhou Chen took out his cell phone and looked at it. It was already ten o'clock.
Qiao Yingzi said worriedly: "I don't know where my mother went. She hasn't come back yet. What if something happens?"
After eating and drinking, the first thing that comes to mind is not herself, but her mother. I have to say that Qiao Yingzi is really filial.
Zhou Chen advised: "I don't think you need to worry. Although your mother is angry with you, she is an adult and a teacher after all. She must be very sensible and will not run around. Think about the friends your mother has.
You should be able to know where she is now."
Qiao Yingzi thought for a moment and immediately replied: "My mother's best friend is Aunt Tong, Fang Hou's mother. She must be at Fang Hou's house now."
"Then it would be better to confirm. You can call Fang Hou and ask."
After listening to Zhou Chen's words, Qiao Yingzi sent a message to Fang Yifan.
Fang Yifan returned quickly and told Qiao Yingzi that her mother Song Qian was indeed at their home, but she left shortly after they came back and should have returned home now.
"My mother has gone back, Zhou Chen, and I want to go back too."
After learning that her mother had returned home, Qiao Yingzi couldn't sit still and immediately stood up to leave.
Zhou Chen didn't stop her, just sent her to the door, and then said: "Yingzi, you should think carefully about what I said. You can admit your mistakes to your mother, but you can't admit them forever. The reason why you have been controlled by your mother
, just because you feel sorry for her and keep giving in. In fact, sometimes, you should be stronger."
"You have to remember one thing. Mothers who truly love their children will not really hate their children, nor will they hate their children for being angry with them. I am not asking you to contradict your mother, but I am letting you understand this truth. You should be tough.
You have to be tough when the time comes, and be cowardly when you should be cowardly, as long as you can grasp that degree."
Qiao Yingzi could understand every word Zhou Chen said, but she was not able to understand them all together.
Because she had been doing this over the years and had formed a habit, she felt that what Zhou Chen said made sense, but she had no confidence at all if he really asked her to do it.
Qiao Yingzi returned home and saw that the curtains in her mother's room had been drawn up. She listened at the door for a while but did not hear anything.
But when her eyes turned to the dining table, her expression suddenly froze, because there was a bowl on the dining table. She walked over. In the bowl was noodles, which were piping hot and must have been freshly cooked.
Qiao Yingzi's eyes suddenly turned red. Although her stomach was full, she still sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and ate the noodles with tears in her eyes.
Different from how she gorged herself at Zhou Chen's place just now, this time she ate very carefully, as if she was tasting her mother's love.
After a long time, Qiao Yingzi finished the bowl of noodles. She walked to her mother's door again and said, "Mom, I really know I was wrong, and I know you won't forgive me so quickly, but I still want to talk to you."
You said, I am really not what you think. To me, you are the most important person, and I did not mean to hurt you."
Song Qian did not rest. She sat next to her and listened to her daughter's cries, with tears streaming down her face.
She was really angry about what happened today, angry at her daughter, angry at her ex-husband, but the most angry thing was that Qiao Weidong's girlfriend Xiao Meng actually drank the bird's nest she made for Yingzi.
You must know that she got up early in the morning to make the bird's nest and stayed up for several hours just to replenish it for her daughter.
As a result, the daughter did not drink, but was drunk by her 'love rival'. Her heart was filled with anger and grievance.
Her daughter was everything to her, and she felt that her daughter had betrayed her, so she was so angry and even attacked her daughter.
Now that she hears her daughter crying, she feels uncomfortable, but if she is asked to let go now, she really can't do it.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."
Qiao Yingzi talked for several minutes, but when she saw that her mother in the room still didn't respond, she felt very disappointed and could only turn around silently and return to her room.
After a long time, Song Qian walked out of the room. She looked at Qiao Yingzi's room and remained silent, with tears slowly flowing down her cheeks.
In fact, their mother and daughter are really similar. Qiao Yingzi is very cautious when facing her mother, so why not Song Qian?
It's just that Song Qian was more assertive, and Qiao Yingzi didn't resist, so slowly, the relationship between the two began to become unbalanced.
That night, neither Qiao Yingzi nor Song Qian had a good sleep, but Qiao Weidong was depressed all day long.
After driving away Xiao Meng, Qiao Weidong made an appointment with Fangyuan for a big drink at night. He fell drunk on his bed and fell asleep soundly. He was not at all as miserable as his ex-wife and daughter.
