Chapter 1615: Solve your own difficulties yourself, while Mom and Dad watch the show 1
Flying Speed Chinese.
In the end, he was a bit dizzy from drinking, and when he left, he was personally seen out by Huo Zhenteng.
"You don't need to see me out, I can manage myself."
"How could that be? I must see you out. You've drunk so much and can't drive; wouldn't taking a shuttle bus be a slap in my face?"
Huo Zhenteng had someone drive him back to Chen Family Village, and when his father saw him, he asked, "You've been drinking?"
"Mm, I have."
Zichen is already an adult, and his father usually wouldn't object to him drinking.
But Sheng Hanyu shook his head: "You shouldn't have had that drink today."
"Why?"
"You'll know soon enough."
His father didn't give him a precise answer, only a vague response, and the unease in his heart grew even more severe.
He wanted to press for more, but his father turned and left, sighing heavily.
Sheng Zichen:...
You can't play like that.
He is his own biological son; shouldn't a father offer some guidance?
His dad offered no guidance at all and even created anxiety?
Soon he discovered that if it were only creating anxiety, that would still be fine.
His mother, Shi Youxuan, saw her son and also asked, "You've been drinking?"
She immediately followed up with: "Young, still young; you shouldn't have had that drink today."
After saying this, she shook her head and also sighed heavily.
Zichen:...
No wonder they are husband and wife; their coordination is too tacit, and their many years as a loving couple are certainly not for nothing.
He said: "Dad said the same thing just now. Why do you both say that? Do you know who I was drinking with?"
His mother said: "Who else could it be? You came home straight after drinking too much; you went to find Huo Zhenteng, didn't you, because of Li Dashao's matter."
"Right! You two are simply divine, you know everything..."
Zichen wanted to ask his mother what was wrong with him drinking with Huo Zhenteng.
But he had indeed drunk quite a bit, and now he felt a bit dizzy and just wanted to close his eyes and rest for a moment, and he actually fell asleep.
Shi Youxuan unfolded the quilt, carefully tucked her son in, and then tiptoed out, closing the door.
"Is Zichen asleep?"
Her husband was standing at the doorway, and she hadn't paid attention and almost bumped into him.
She glared at her husband: "You are just too arrogant; you were arrogant when you were young, and you're still like this now. What kind of cool act are you putting on in front of your own son?"
"What's wrong with me?" Sheng Hanyu was dissatisfied, but he looked completely bewildered; he didn't know what he had done wrong.
Shi Youxuan said: "Huo Zhenteng wants to frame our son; you should just tell the child directly. If you don't tell him, he will suffer a loss."
Sheng Hanyu was unconvinced: "Only by suffering a loss can one learn a lesson. How can a child not suffer any losses at all? Being schemed against isn't without its benefits; he'll remember it for longer. That's how my grandfather educated me; he didn't tell me either, and didn't I grow up just fine?"
Shi Youxuan was unconvinced: "You have no idea how much hardship you've endured, do you? Do you hope your son also has to endure as much hardship as you did just to learn a lesson?"
"Mm."
Sheng Hanyu insisted that only by suffering a loss oneself is the education profound; if others tell him, he won't remember it in the end.
Zichen woke up and it was already dawn; he had slept for a long time.
Shi Youxuan brought over a bowl of honey water: "Drink some water."
"Thanks, Mom."
He was just thirsty, and after taking a sip, he discovered it was sweet.
So he said to his mother: "Don't worry, I've sobered up; there's no need for Sobering Soup."
Honey is for sobering up; he thought his mother had brought him Sobering Soup, but his mother shook her head: "It's not for you to sober up; it's because I'm afraid you'll get internal heat, to clear your internal heat."
Zichen:...
"Internal heat, why would I have internal heat?"
"Oh! I get it, you're talking about Li Dage's matter? Don't worry, I will definitely rescue Li Dage..."
Zichen was interrupted by his mother halfway through his sentence: "I'm not saying your Li Dage is in trouble; I'm saying you, you are in trouble."
"Look at this."
She handed her phone to her son; on the webpage was exactly the news about him.
A large photo on the front page of the financial news was clearly the scene of Zichen and Huo Zhenting clinking glasses.
The headline below the photo was—Sheng Family and Huo Family join forces to create the strongest gourmet empire!
"Nonsense, this is a conspiracy, slander!"
Zichen was furious; he wanted to smash the phone to vent his anger, but he raised it high and didn't let it fall.
He remembered, this was his mother's phone, not his.
Shi Youxuan asked: "Do you know what they meant yesterday now?"
"This old fox Huo Zhenteng is too evil." Zichen punched the quilt in hatred.
His mother said: "You can't blame him; he has always been a bad person. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself; it was because your method was wrong that you let someone take advantage of the loophole."
Shi Youxuan had always educated her children this way.
When something goes wrong, look for the cause within yourself; only then can you improve.
Complaining about heaven and blaming others is useless; it only becomes an excuse for incompetence and mistakes!
Zichen is not usually like this; he was just too angry, which is why he lost his composure.
Now, reminded by his mother, he immediately realized that his way of thinking was wrong, corrected it in time, and adjusted his mindset.
He asked his mother, "Mom, what can I do to turn the situation around?"
His mother said, "I have a way." It was not a question, but a statement of certainty.
"Please tell me quickly," Zichen said, delighted.
Shi Youxuan explained, "No, you misunderstood me. I said I have a way, but I didn't say I was going to tell you."
Zichen:...
You can't play like that.
"But I am your own son..."
He wailed.
"That's right, it's precisely because you are my own son that I cannot tell you. Your father is right; if others pull you away from a pit, you will eventually fall into it sooner or later. Only by climbing out of the pit you fell into yourself can you truly overcome it."
Yesterday, Shi Youxuan still disagreed with her husband's words, but after thinking it over carefully for a night, she felt her husband was right—this is exactly how it should be done!
Zichen is not a child; he is already a graduate student and an adult who owns over twenty snack chain stores.
When he was not by his parents' side, he encountered many difficulties, and he was able to resolve them one by one back then. Why did his abilities suddenly regress after returning home?
The couple decided not to be their son's protective umbrella!
They would be the closest of bystanders; he should go solve his own difficulties. Without experiencing the wind and rain, how can one see the rainbow?
Zichen understood his mother's subtext and said pitifully, "So you aren't planning to help me."
"That's right, why should I help you? It's not as if you lack ability. Your father and I both believe you have the ability to resolve the current predicament. Go on, my son."
"Come on, charge!"
Zichen:...
What is it like to have a mother whose mindset is forever eighteen?
It means sometimes feeling like your mother is a friend, and sometimes feeling like you have a fake mom!
Other people's moms help their children clear away obstacles; as for his mom, if she doesn't dig pits for him, he should be thanking heaven and earth.
The key is that his mom doesn't care, and oh, she even corrupted his dad. Now, these two cunning old foxes watch their son being schemed against, standing by as spectators; not only do they not help, they even watch the excitement and make sarcastic remarks.
