Chapter 632: Taking the Initiative and Fighting Poison with Poison
Although both Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao wanted to spend more time with Lin Hao, it was getting late.
After seeing Huang Zhitao off, Lin Hao finally took Yingzi's hand and told her:
"Yingzi, there's no need to make things so awkward between you and your mother. Sometimes you can turn passivity into initiative!"
"Turning passive into active?" Qiao Yingzi looked at Lin Hao in surprise, then asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Lin Hao looked at the excited Yingzi and laughed:
"In fact, I have been taking extra classes at your house recently, and I found that Auntie actually loves you very much, but her love makes you feel suffocated, right?"
You have to consider your mother's feelings all the time and try to please her. You don't even dare to show that you don't like minced garlic, for fear that your mother will be unhappy. Even if you don't like sea cucumbers, you are forced to eat them. And if your mother doesn't want you to do something, she will deny it all!
"Yes, yes, yes~!" Qiao Yingzi looked at Lin Hao and nodded vigorously. She felt that Lin Hao was like a worm in her stomach. No, it should be that Lin Hao understood her too well.
At this point, Qiao Yingzi added:
"I mean, what method can I use to turn the passive situation into active one and change my mother's situation?"
"My next words will most likely change your current situation, but they may make you feel uncomfortable or even cruel!"
At this point Lin Hao asked solemnly: "Are you sure you want to listen?"
Seeing Lin Hao's serious words, Qiao Yingzi, who was eager to change, said without hesitation:
"You said, as long as it can change the current situation, I am willing to listen to whatever you say!"
After Lin Hao sorted out his thoughts, he said something that stunned Qiao Yingzi:
"Actually, your parents don't love you as much as you think!"
Lin Hao's words stunned Qiao Yingzi. What was Lin Hao saying? Her parents didn't love her that much, but her parents' love for her was very clear.
"How is that possible? Are you kidding? This joke is not funny at all!" Qiao Yingzi frowned and shook her head in denial.
Seeing that Qiao Yingzi didn't believe it, Lin Hao nodded and said, "So, you'd better not listen!"
"Because what I'm going to say next may not be so pleasant to the ear, and may even sound cruel to you. I'm afraid it will be hard for you to accept it!"
"Wait!" Lin Hao said all this and suddenly stopped talking. How could Qiao Yingzi accept this? So she said seriously:
"I really want to hear your profound ideas. Perhaps I can learn from your experience!"
"As you wish!" After Lin Hao pondered for a while, he said:
"I still say that, your parents don't love you as much as you think, and you don't love them as much as you show, or you don't dare to love them!"
"Their love for you is actually a half-true, half-false, demanding love. Their love is not free and requires your emotional return."
"Of course, this situation is also caused by their failed marriage. The three of you want to maintain this family relationship."
"The result is that the love your mother gave you was suffocating, your father spoiled you without restraint and limit, and the love you showed them was also evasive and perfunctory in return."
"Just like when you were at home before, facing your mother's concern, your attitude was perfunctory and accommodating. With such a perfunctory attitude, do you really think that your aunt can't see it?"
"The three of you are now trapped in a prisoner's dilemma. You want to break free from the shackles, but the ropes of family affection are tightening around you, and the conflicts are only getting deeper and deeper!"
Qiao Yingzi fell silent after hearing this. As Lin Hao said, his words were indeed unpleasant to the ear, and she also understood why Lin Hao's words were so cruel.
It was like a ray of light that shone into the most secret and darkest corner of her heart, and it really made her feel embarrassed.
But Qiao Yingzi is a smart girl. Since Lin Hao has seen through these secrets, there must be a solution, but~.
Qiao Yingzi opened her mouth and then said with difficulty:
"Don't just analyze, give me a solution!"
Lin Hao shook his head and said:
"If you want to get out of this prisoner's dilemma and change your current situation, there is a simple way, that is to learn to compromise!"
"Of course, compromise is not about giving in or being perfunctory, but about giving them emotional feedback in a timely manner. When they get emotional feedback, they will not force you like they do now."
"It's like investing in a company. If the company cannot give investors enough returns, then the investors will definitely rebel. They will force the company to make money quickly and demand dividends!"
"To put it bluntly, you should treat them as your customers, as God, and make everything customer-centric. You should think about what the customers think and worry about what the customers worry about!"
"Use this method to paralyze them, and then guide them step by step, in the direction you expect, and then everything will return to normal!"
This method is a little troublesome, but it is the best way for both your parents and yourself, and it will not leave any sequelae.
After hearing Lin Hao's words, Qiao Yingzi was stunned. She didn't expect that such cruel words would come out of Lin Hao's mouth.
"But, but~!" Qiao Yingzi's mind was a little confused, and then she forced herself to calm down and said:
"What if it doesn't work?"
"Then we have to take drastic measures, retreat in order to advance~, and let it go!" Then Lin Hao said something that shocked Qiao Yingzi:
"Doesn't your mother dislike you for only getting 650 points? Then you can deliberately get lower scores, 600 points, 500 points, 400 points, 300 points, lower each time, and you can even get into the basic class."
"If your mother continues to push you, the more she forbids you to do something, the more you will do it, such as smoking, drinking, going to bars, skipping classes, and dressing up as a little gangster and wearing a miniskirt to show off at school."
"In a word, the harder they push you, the more outrageous things you will do. It's like fighting poison with poison!"
"Let them give up their control over you, adjust their oppressive love for you, and let them adapt to your rhythm."
"But once you decide to do this, you must not be soft-hearted. Otherwise, if your mom or your parents start to persuade you and cry, you will give in and surrender. Then you will never be able to escape from their control in your life."
"And the aftereffects of doing this are huge. It will hurt your parents a lot. They will be very sad and in pain. It will also be very bad for your reputation. Society will not recognize you. You will go from being someone else's child to someone else's child!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yingzi took a breath and looked at Lin Hao in horror. She didn't expect that Lin Hao's method was so cruel. It was going to kill her parents!
But for some reason, at this moment Qiao Yingzi felt eager to try it out, and even couldn't wait to give it a try.
······
After Lin Hao kissed Qiao Yingzi goodbye, she left in a daze. When she returned home, Song Qian took the initiative to ask with concern:
"Why did you come back so late today, Yingzi? Is there something wrong at school?"
Seeing her mother's concerned look, Qiao Yingzi said haltingly:
"I just discussed some questions with my classmates, so I came back a little late!"
At this time, Song Qian did not delve too deeply into it. Instead, she brought the food to the table, scooped a bowl of soup for Qiao Yingzi, and said:
"You must be hungry. I made some soup for you. I didn't put any Chinese medicinal herbs in it today. Come and try it!" Qiao Yingzi sat down obediently. Seeing her mother busying around for her, she felt touched.
In fact, she cares about her mother very much, but sometimes she is not used to the overly strong love.
He drank the soup silently, looking at his mother who was smiling and trying to please him, thinking about what Lin Hao had just said.
At this time, Qiao Yingzi had already made a decision in her heart. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and said solemnly:
"Mom, you've worked hard!"
Song Qian said at a loss: "Kid, why are you saying these things!"
Song Qian was comforted by her daughter's concern. She smiled happily and took out her cell phone and said to Yingzi:
"Look, this is something mom bought for you!"
Qiao Yingzi took the phone and asked, "Mom, what do you want to show me?"
Song Qian pointed at the phone screen and said to Qiao Yingzi:
"Mom just bought some clothes from Vipshop. They will arrive tomorrow. Do you like them?"
When Qiao Yingzi saw it, she was surprised and said, "It's the latest model of the season! Mom, it's so expensive!"
Song Qian felt relieved when she saw the happy smile on Yingzi's face:
"It's on sale, so I bought two pieces, one for each of us. You can see if you like them when they arrive tomorrow."
Yingzi said coquettishly: "I like it. I like everything you buy!"
Then she hesitated for a while, took two steps forward, hugged Song Qian and said:
"Mom, I was wrong this morning. I shouldn't have quarreled with you. If you want to scold me, just scold me."
After hearing Yingzi's words, Song Qian's charming face flashed with indescribable complex emotions.
She touched Yingzi's head and said softly:
"Mom is not angry. How could I blame you? In fact, after I went home today, I thought about it carefully and realized that I did do something wrong!"
Then the mother and daughter smiled at each other, and their past grudges were forgiven. Song Qian was especially happy. After a while, she hesitated and said:
"It's still early, how about we go to the movies together tonight?"
Qiao Yingzi couldn't believe it:
"Mom, didn't you say that we should minimize our entertainment time in the third year of high school when we have a tight schedule?"
Song Qian smiled and said:
"Hey, isn't it still a few days before school officially starts? One or two days won't make a difference. Let's just not do the homework today and let you have a good rest and relax!"
After thinking for a while, Song Qian took out her phone and checked it and continued:
"How about Mission: Impossible 6? We just watched the premiere of Mission: Impossible 5 together. It's been two years in the blink of an eye!"
"Good guy!" Qiao Yingzi was secretly glad in her heart.
Fortunately, I rejected Fang Yifan’s invitation today and did not go to see Mission: Impossible 6 together. Instead, I followed Lin Hao to play Lego.
Otherwise she would have to watch it again, and she didn't think she could hide it from her mother.
If we were discovered, it would be really embarrassing. A good thing might turn into a bad thing, and there might even be another collision between Mars and the Earth!
Thinking of this, she felt a little sweet in her heart, thinking that it was Lin Hao's reminder that helped her.
After Song Qian booked the tickets, she saw Qiao Yingzi standing there grinning foolishly. She waved her hand in front of her eyes, not knowing why.
"Yingzi, what are you laughing at? Why are you laughing so happily?"
Qiao Yingzi came back to her senses and laughed:
"Nothing, I was just thinking about watching a movie! Mom, then you buy the tickets first, I'll go change my clothes~!"
After saying that, she ran back to her room. She couldn't wait to send a text message to Lin Hao, saying that he had helped her a lot.
Song Qian looked at Qiao Yingzi's back and scolded with a smile:
"This girl, she's already grown up, but she's still so unruly. She's so happy watching a movie!"
Lin Hao was also in a good mood after receiving Qiao Yingzi's message.
Although he had just acted rashly and given Qiao Yingzi a bad idea, his efforts were not in vain. Qiao Yingzi chose to take the initiative and successfully resolved the conflict with Song Qian.
As it turned out, he succeeded, which gave Lin Hao great confidence.
As long as she makes proper arrangements, I believe Yingzi will not be forced to suffer from depression like in the original drama, and will not threaten her parents with jumping into the sea.
When Lin Hao saw that scene while watching the drama, he actually felt sorry for Yingzi, the poor little girl. Now that he, Lin Hao, is here, such a situation will naturally not happen again.
······
Time flies, and the short holiday break goes by in the blink of an eye.
During this period, the relationship between Qiao Yingzi and Song Qian became more harmonious because of Qiao Yingzi's active guidance.
Song Qian's discipline on Qiao Yingzi was not as strict as before.
Because they were close, Qiao Yingzi would go to the eighth floor to play Lego from time to time. However, Huang Zhitao felt jealous when she saw Lin Hao and Qiao Yingzi being so affectionate with each other.
On the other side, Tong Wenjie also brought her genius nephew Lin Lei'er to Beijing and is slowly adapting to life in the Fang family.
However, in order to advance the progress, Lin Hao occasionally mentioned to Fang Yifan the convenience of living in Shuxiang Yayuan, such as being able to sleep in for an extra hour in the morning.
So Fang Yifan instigated Fang Yuan and Tong Wenjie to move to Shuxiang Yayuan opposite the school so that they wouldn't have to get up so early in the morning and it would also be convenient for them to attend evening self-study classes at school.
Fang Yuan discussed it with Tong Wenjie and they also felt that their home was too far from the school, and that a lot of time was wasted on the road every day.
Whether it is for them to go to work or for Fang Yifan and Lin Lei'er to go to school, it is very inconvenient.
I feel that renting a house near the school is really good. It will make both parents and children more relaxed, and at least the children can get enough sleep.
Song Qian just happened to have a two-bedroom, one-living-room house, and if they wanted it, she would rent it to them for 10,000 yuan a month.
This was already a friendly price, the price to the public was at least 13,000 or 14,000 yuan! Tong Wenjie rented the house without saying anything and moved to Shuxiang Yayuan before school started!
At the same time, Liu Jing, who rented Song Qian's house, also renovated the house and officially moved into Shuxiang Yayuan.
As a result, Fang Yuan and Ji Shengli became neighbors living on opposite floors, and this time they finally left their contact information.
It was September 1st, the first day of registration for the new semester, and all the students arrived at school.
