Good Dad System [Arc 3] Chapter 32.6: If You Have A Stepfather, You Will Have A Stepmother (6)
There are not many mobile phones in the store, but there are many people who came to try out the new phones. Zhou Qin and Chi Liang also like the white model, but the clerk said that there is only one 128G model left in the store, and there are many 64G models left. They have to wait for the transfer, and the specific time is not yet determined.
“Mom.” Chi Jing pulled her stepmother down, leaned close to her ear, and said in a low voice, “Buy a large-capacity phone for my sister. She did well in the exam, and Dad said he would reward her.” She couldn’t tell where the guilt came from, as if she couldn’t get rid of the piercing feeling if she didn’t do something.
“Our Liangliang is pretty sensible.” Zhou Sulian gently touched her stepdaughter’s hand, and the two of them kept holding hands all the way, while Zhou Qin fell behind and opened a short distance, “But didn’t we agree in the morning? To buy the best for Liangliang, it’s not a big deal if mother can let my father go back on his word.”
“Is that so…” Chi Liang was happy in her heart, but looked back subconsciously, and turned her head back to her step-sister’s indifferent eyes, “Will it be bad?”
“No, how can things be changed.” Zhou Sulian replied with a smile.
Zhou Qin was at the back, lowering her head and looking at the ground. More than a year ago, she was the one leaning against her mother. More than a year later, she even felt unfamiliar with how it felt to be close to her mother. What made her even more conflicted and painful was that she didn’t even know who she should hate for changing everything.
Hate Chi Liang, but what did Chi Liang do wrong? She was indeed an uninvited guest. Hate her stepfather? But she and stepfather have no blood relationship, why should he be nice to her? Hate her mother? But mother has worked very hard, and mother is indeed very happy after meeting her stepfather.
Zhou Sulian quickly swiped her credit card to buy a mobile phone. She gave one to each of them for safekeeping, and then took the two children to the telecom to apply for a card. This was considered a complete package. Just when she returned home, the family had dinner together.
As soon as he sat down at the dinner table, Chi Jianhua noticed the white mobile phone that his own Chi Liang had placed on the corner of the table. He picked it up and turned it around jokingly: “You’re using it so soon?” He knew a lot about electronic devices, and he didn’t forget to ask a few questions with concern, “Liang liang, what model is this? This phone is prone to jamming. I used to have several, but I didn’t use them until they jammed too much.”
“128G, didn’t you emphasize again and again that you should buy the best for our Liang Liang, how dare I disobey?” Zhou Sulian, who came out of the kitchen to serve dishes, answered.
“That’s okay.” Chi Jianhua grabbed Chi Liang’s cell phone and turned around, then looked at Zhou Qin, he forgot his stepdaughter in the afternoon and was embarrassed, “Where’s Qin Qin’s cell phone? Come, I’ll save a cell phone number. ”
Zhou Qin took out her mobile phone, she couldn’t memorize her phone number.
“That’s great, these two sisters are using sister phones.” Chi Jianhua suddenly asked, “Qinqin, this is also 128, right?” He planned to buy a new one, so he might as well choose a black one.
As soon as he said this, the three women in the room fell silent at the same time, and no one answered, Chi Jianhua looked around suspiciously: “What’s wrong?”
Zhou Sulian had already placed the food and sat at the dining table: “It’s time to eat.” She replied casually, “Qinqin’s is 64G, children who read, how can they need so much.”
Chi Jianhua put down the chopsticks in his hand, frowned: “Su Lian, why don’t you buy the same one?” He was not so stingy that he would be harsh on his stepdaughter. Since she was going to buy it, why bother with all this.
“There is only one 128 in the store.” Zhou Sulian explained.
This explanation made Chi Jianhua even angrier: “Then buy 64, what’s the big deal!” Who would be embarrassed if he told others about it? Besides, wouldn’t the two children care about it? He tapped his hand on the table twice, or wait buy another one after adjusting the goods, or give Liangliang one, and I will buy another one like that for Qinqin. ”
Chi Liang was embarrassed. She lowered her head to eat and pushed the phone over.
Zhou Sulian rounded it up: “I asked Qinqin, but she doesn’t care. Besides, didn’t we agree? Buy the best for Liangliang.”
Chi Jianhua saw that his daughter wanted to cry, his heart softened, and his wife was at a loss. He was finally helpless. He looked at his stepdaughter who was sitting diagonally across from him and was also eating with his head down, and his voice was serious: “Qinqin, tell dad, do you want a new phone?”
Before Zhou Qin could speak, her mother’s foot had already kicked over, she didn’t need to look up to know what her mother was going to say, her voice was light: “Dad, I haven’t used a mobile phone before, this is good, for me, all the same.”
Chi Jianhua breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly handed the phone back to his daughter, emphasizing, “Su Lian, don’t dare to do this again in the future.”
“It’s my fault, I won’t do it again.” Zhou Sulian smiled in response and helped as if nothing had happened, and she was happy.
…
At night, everyone went back to their own rooms. Zhou Qin’s mobile phone was charging on the table. She didn’t have the habit of playing with her mobile phone. She had finished her homework. She lay on her side, the curtains were opened, and she could see the dark blue night sky outside and the city. The night is starless, only an endless dark blue.
The door was suddenly pushed open. Zhou Qin didn’t get up. She knew who was coming. Zhou Sulian, who was wearing pajamas, walked in. She saw movement on her daughter’s bed and knew that Zhou Qin was not asleep. She found a seat beside the bed and sat down without turning on the light. She sighed, “Qinqin, mom today…”
“I know.” Zhou Qin refused to listen, nothing more than that.
Zhou Sulian knew her daughter was angry, and she felt wronged. She grabbed her daughter’s hand: “Mom didn’t mean it. You are my baby, but you also know that I have a special status in this family. It’s really difficult to be between you, your father, and Liangliang. ”
“I know.” Zhou Qin withdrew her hand, her voice was calm, “Mom, I’m tired, I have class tomorrow, I’m very sleepy.”
“…Okay.” Zhou Sulian had no choice, she stood up, walked to the door and stopped, she hesitated and said, “Qinqin, you should also try to integrate into this family, you see, isn’t mom living well now? This is much better than before. “After she finished speaking, she was afraid of disturbing her daughter, so she went out carefully and closed the door.
Zhou Qin, who was huddled in the quilt, didn’t cry. If she cried every day when she felt a little grievance, her tears would have already finished.
Yes, the current home is two or three times bigger than before, the meals we eat always have expensive seafood, and the school we attend is an aristocratic school that her classmates talked about…
But why doesn’t this goodness bring happiness?
Did she not try to enter the home, or did the home never try to accept her? Zhou Qin didn’t know the answer.
this hits so close to home i hate it 😭😭😭 this poor girl she deserves better
