Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
It was originally agreed to return at seven o'clock to continue studying, but Niu Lin Xin was busy playing on her phone, dragging her feet until half past seven before they went up.
"Why are you all so late coming back?"
Lin Xiaofang couldn't help but feel some dissatisfaction inside.
Wang Xiaohua and Wang Xiaoqian were about to open their mouths to explain, but Niu Lin Xin beat them to it.
"Mom, Xiaohua ge doesn't know how to use an Apple phone. After we bought the phone card, we taught him for a long time before he learned to use it, so it delayed a bit of time, just half an hour late returning. Don't be so nitpicky, okay!"
When Niu Lin Xin tells lies, it's actually smoother than Dove chocolate.
It can be seen that she probably got used to telling lies to her parents early on.
Watching this, Wang Xiaohua felt a bit like crying and laughing at the same time.
"Is that really true?" Niu Chunsheng didn't quite believe it. "Your Xiaohua ge is so smart, does he still need a little girl like you to teach him how to use a phone?"
Niu Lin Xin argued sophistically:
"Dad, why don't you believe me? If you don't believe me, ask Xiaohua ge!"
Niu Lin Xin hurriedly pushed Wang Xiaohua to the front and gave him a look.
At this very moment, Wang Xiaohua could completely expose Niu Lin Xin's lie, but then he thought, what use would exposing her lie be to himself?
Besides causing Niu Lin Xin to resent him, he couldn't gain any benefit.
So in the end he chose to help Niu Lin Xin round out this lie:
"I really don't know how to use a phone very well. After all, it's my first time using one. Lin Xin even taught me to download QQ and WeChat. Uncle Chunsheng, Aunt Xiaofang, it's my fault. I delayed the time. How about this: I'll tutor until ten-thirty tonight before leaving."
With Wang Xiaohua saying this, Niu Chunsheng and Lin Xiaofang no longer blamed Niu Lin Xin.
"Then study until ten-thirty today. Anyway, no matter what, studies cannot be neglected."
Niu Chunsheng said so.
Niu Lin Xin immediately felt like the sky was about to fall down.
"Dad, ten-thirty is very late, not too good, right? Xiaohua ge and Xiaoqian still have to go home!"
But Niu Chunsheng said:
"Xiaoqian going home is easy; her home is right in the neighboring residential complex. Xiaohua staying at our place for a night is also fine."
Lin Xiaofang urged:
"Go on, go on. Hurry up and go study."
The three of them went to the study together.
Just as the door closed, Niu Lin Xin complained to Wang Xiaohua:
"Xiaohua ge, it's all your fault. You said you delayed the time and that was that, but why did you also take the initiative to propose delaying departure by half an hour? Do you know, studying with you, every second feels like a year!"
Wang Xiaohua was at a loss whether to cry or laugh:
"Are you this resistant to studying? What you're learning isn't just knowledge, it's a guarantee for your future life."
Niu Lin Xin rolled her eyes sky-high:
"My future life guarantee definitely won't be bad. At worst I'll just stay at home and live off my parents. Anyway, I'm my dad's only daughter. He earns so much money; it'll definitely all be left to me in the future."
Hearing this, Wang Xiaohua suddenly realized:
Good family conditions can provide better learning conditions, but they can also become a reason for laziness and slackness.
And poor family conditions, though they cannot provide good learning conditions, can also transform into an internal driving force, making a person self-reliant and striving upward desperately.
One can only say, everything has two sides.
"But at least get into high school. If you can't even get into high school, your parents will think you're a write-off and secretly have another one. Then you won't necessarily be the sole heir of the family."
To spur Niu Lin Xin to study, Wang Xiaohua casually found a reason.
"Impossible. My parents are both over forty. How can they still have a child? Besides, isn't it Family Planning now? They won't have another one."
Niu Lin Xin said so.
But Wang Xiaohua laughed:
"Your thinking is too naive. There are plenty of people over forty still having children. Besides, your parents aren't in the system/establishment. What binding force does Family Planning have on them? At most they just pay a fine. Do you think your dad can't afford that little fine?"
Hearing this, Niu Lin Xin started to panic a little.
But she still kept a hard mouth:
"Won't happen. I asked my mom before. She said absolutely impossible to have another. Having me, one daughter, is enough!"
But Wang Xiaohua countered:
"That's just your mom's idea. Have you asked your dad's idea? Your mom not wanting to have another doesn't mean your dad doesn't want to."
With these words from Wang Xiaohua, Niu Lin Xin became even more uncalm.
Wang Xiaohua continued:
"If you disappoint your dad too much, your dad going outside to find another woman and have a child isn't out of the question. Your dad is a big boss. For him to go outside and find another woman to have a child, that's simply too easy. When that time comes, you not only won't exclusively possess your dad's inheritance rights, but you'll also be the chief culprit who destroyed this happy family of yours. Everything, all of it, will be because you didn't study hard."
Niu Lin Xin panicked directly.
"My dad absolutely isn't that kind of person. He's very responsible to the family. He treats me so well..."
But Wang Xiaohua said:
"The reason your dad treats you well is because he still has hopes for you. If he's completely disappointed in you, just watch and see if he'll still treat you well. You just keep being willful and rebellious. Wait until later, you'll have bitter fruit to eat!"
The more Niu Lin Xin thought, the more she felt Wang Xiaohua's words made sense. A sense of crisis immediately surged into her heart. She immediately urged with a face full of impatience:
"It's so annoying, stop talking and hurry up and study!"
Seeing Niu Lin Xin's reaction, the corner of Wang Xiaohua's mouth curled up slightly.
He knew his method of urging her on had taken effect.
And at this time, on the other side.
Niu Chunsheng and Lin Xiaofang were inside the bedroom.
Facing the computer, through the study's surveillance camera, they saw everything with their own eyes and heard everything with their own ears.
The reason they dared to keep Wang Xiaohua, Niu Lin Xin, and Wang Xiaoqian in the study all along was precisely because the study had a surveillance camera installed.
If there were no surveillance camera installed, they would definitely have had Wang Xiaohua tutor Niu Lin Xin and Wang Xiaoqian in the living room.
As parents, they all knew that a child's puberty is the most dangerous period; if one is slightly careless and a premature romance incident occurs, that child's entire lifetime would be ruined.
So taking some protective measures is also perfectly reasonable.
"How can this Wang Xiaohua speak like this?"
Hearing the words Wang Xiaohua said to her daughter, Lin Xiaofang immediately wore a face full of unhappiness.
Niu Chunsheng, however, laughed and said:
"I think Xiaohua spoke quite well; he is urging our daughter on. Our daughter's biggest flaw is insufficient internal drive; only with a sense of crisis will she have the motivation to study. Otherwise, no matter how good a tutor we hire to teach her, it would all be in vain."
Lin Xiaofang frowned slightly:
"The principle is indeed this principle, but... Niu Chunsheng, tell me, you wouldn't really still want to have a second child, would you?"
Lin Xiaofang suddenly questioned Niu Chunsheng.
Niu Chunsheng let out a dry laugh, hurriedly waving his hands in denial:
"What are you thinking? One daughter is enough for us to handle; why would we have a second child!"
Lin Xiaofang looked into Niu Chunsheng's eyes and asked:
"You don't want another son?"
