Good Dad System [Arc 3] Chapter 34.5: If You Have A Stepfather, You Will Have A Stepmother (17)
What he said made the couple feel guilty at the same time. They were not unaware of Zhou Qin’s sullenness, but one didn’t take it to heart, and the other always felt that her daughter could talk about it later.
“Qinqin didn’t say it very clearly, but I have eyes and a heart, and I know my daughter is uncomfortable.” Pei Naochun spoke plainly, but it was heavy for people to listen to, “It’s easy to say that we should treat each other equally, you take one piece and I take one piece, but can we treat each other equally in terms of material, but psychologically? Mr. Chi, I am also a human being, and I can understand that you must value your daughter more, right? ”
Chi Jianhua didn’t say a word, which was considered as tacit agreement. He defended himself in his heart. Zhou Qin really doesn’t like to talk, so he shouldn’t take the initiative, right? But this clumsy justification, he couldn’t say it.
“But I don’t understand, isn’t Qinqin your daughter? Why do you make her think that her mother belongs to someone else?” Zhou Sulian’s face turned pale immediately, and she shivered: “How could she think of me so much.” The feeling of being told by her daughter was mixed, guilt, resentment, embarrassment, and confusion, all kinds of emotions overwhelmed her. “Why do you make Qinqin have to think about why her mother always stands on the side of others? Do you know? She is not happy in school. She has no classmates and may even be bullied by her classmates.
Zhou Sulian had just found out about this, but she was already shocked. It was one thing for her to blame herself, but it was another thing for her to be blamed by her ex-husband who she disliked. She replied with a stern face: “Their school is one of the best in the city. , the classmates are also very good, and Liangliang gets along well with everyone in school…”
“So you think it’s Qinqin’s fault? ”
Zhou Sulian gritted her teeth and nodded: “It takes two to clap. Liangliang can get along well with others, why can’t Qinqin?” She didn’t even know if this was her heartfelt thought.
Pei Naochun couldn’t hold back his face, and his tone was angry: “Then is our Qinqin a bad child? What is her sin that she has committed so heinous that she must be excluded and hated and can’t find friends? When Qinqin was in junior high school, didn’t she get along well with her classmates? Why don’t you think that they all have problems? ”
“Zhou Sulian, do you know how I feel?” He called her by her first name, “Qinqin was crying in front of me and said to me, Dad, it’s all my fault, do you know how sad I am? Why? My daughter is so good, why is she so wronged?”
“I didn’t understand at that time, but I understand now. “Pei Naochun said in a disgraceful way, “She is in a strange place, alone and helpless, the only thing she can rely on is you, but you are not on her side, how lonely should she be?”
“Your stepdaughter has her father by her side, but your daughter has only you by her side, do you know?” Pei Naochun said with emotion, “You asked me to stay away, so I stayed away. I have always respected you, but did my respect bring Qinqin a happy growth? No, Zhou Sulian, since you cherish your new family so much, live a good life with them, and leave Qinqin to me to take care of. ”
Zhou Sulian’s lips trembled, looking at Pei Naochun, she couldn’t speak for a while, did she do something wrong?
How hard is it to be a stepmother? Couldn’t Qinqin be a little more considerate of her? If she treats Liangliang badly, the whole big family will be criticized, and even Jianhua will have opinions on her. Is it easy for her? She knew that the child was wronged, but wouldn’t she be wronged? Isn’t she happier now than before?
“Su Lian, I will support you in whatever decision you make.” Chi Jianhua whispered, he would stand by his wife, this time, he was indeed wrong.
The thoughts in Zhou Sulian’s mind were very messy. From her angle, she could see the daughter behind her, and she said with difficulty: “Qinqin also want to leave?” She looked at Pei Naochun’s eyes and couldn’t help but begg, She always thought she was a good and responsible mother. From childhood to adulthood, Qinqin was by her side. She never thought that mother and daughter would come to this point.
“Yes.” Pei Naochun nodded without giving the other party any space.
As if struck by lightning, Zhou Sulian leaned on her husband to stand firm, and when a basin of cold water was poured down her head, she finally calmed down: “But under your conditions, can you take good care of your daughter?” She looked critically at Pei Naochun, but suddenly she found that the other party seemed to have changed a lot in the past few years, with a burly stature and very particular clothes.
“I can.” Pei Naochun nodded, “My monthly salary is guaranteed at 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. I will rent a house near Qinqin School. If she wants to transfer, I will help her.” “…But you don’t have time to take care of the children.” Zhou Sulian found another reason. “I also said this to Qinqin. She can understand that high school studies will gradually become tense. She will spend more time in school in the future, and I will try to go home as much as possible.”
Zhou Sulian had nothing to say, she didn’t give up: “You call Qinqin here, I want to ask her face to face.”
Pei Naochun turned around and waved to Zhou Qin. Zhou Qin had been paying close attention to the situation here, and immediately trotted over, holding her father’s sleeve tightly. The father and daughter kept a distance from the two people opposite, and there was a clear distinction between them. Zhou Sulian immediately understood what was going on, but she was unwilling to give up, and still wanted to get an answer: “Qinqin, Mom knows that I haven’t cared enough about you during this period of time. Mom knows that she was wrong. Do you really want to leave? ”
Zhou Qin looked at her mother, but her heart was not moved. What her mother said was like countless late nights, when she wiped her tears, and the other party came in and said to her “to understand” and “it’s hard to be a stepmother”. Doesn’t her mother know that she is wronged? No, it’s just that she is the lesser of the two. She is the one who was abandoned after being on the scale.
