Chapter 179 Home is the root of unhappiness

"What does this have to do with me?"

The veins on Lin Zhiwen's forehead jumped violently.

He never thought that raising a child would actually create an enemy.

She wanted to punish her parents with death for some trivial things.

The most important thing between family members is communication. Can't she tell them anything?

Lin Zhao shed tears. She didn't know why those unhappy emotions would still accompany her even after her death.

"When I was in the first grade of junior high school, I wanted to buy a mobile phone. You promised me that if I got the first place in the class in the midterm exam, you would reward me and buy me one."

Lin Zhao's voice choked with sobs. She would always remember how happy she was when she heard her father say these words.

During that time, she worked really hard. She ate her meals very quickly, taking a few bites. After finishing, she rushed to the classroom to read and do homework.

She doesn't go out to play after school.

She was afraid that she might have missed some knowledge points.

I was afraid that I would not keep up with my classmates and miss the first place in the exam.

Fortunately, God does not let down those who work hard.

She really got first place!

Lin Zhao happily returned home with her report card and certificate of honor. As soon as she saw Lin Zhiwen, she excitedly handed him the report card.

"Dad! Dad! I got first place in the exam! I got first place in the exam!"

Dad hummed, "Not bad. Don't be too proud. Your English score can be a few points higher, which will increase the gap with the second place."

"Look, the second place has three points less than you."

"Why can't you work harder and make the score gap bigger?"

Lin Zhao was originally very happy, but after hearing these words, it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over her head, and she immediately lost the desire to share.

Fortunately, her father promised to reward her with a mobile phone as long as she could get first place in the exam.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhao smiled again and looked up at Lin Zhiwen, "Dad, you said before that if I got first place in the exam, you would buy me a cell phone."

"When are we going to buy it?"

But as soon as he heard this, Lin Zhiwen's face darkened and he began to lecture Lin Zhao harshly.

"You want a reward for taking first place? Why, are you studying just for me?"

"I've told you before that at your age you should focus on studying and stop thinking about those trivial things!"

"Were you also thinking about your phone during the exam? Otherwise, how did you lose those few points?"

"You only scored three points more than the second place. Do you have the nerve to ask me for my phone?"

Lin Zhao held back her tears, feeling inexplicably aggrieved, as if something in her heart was broken.

She argued in vain, "But you promised me!"

"You promised me that if I got first place in the exam, you would buy me a new phone!"

Lin Zhiwen no longer wanted to pay attention to her.

He really disliked his daughter's utilitarian study mentality, which wanted to reward her if she did well in the exams.

What if there is no reward? Will she not learn it?

"Zhao Zhao, remember, you are not studying for your father. Don't treat your grades with a utilitarian mentality. Regardless of whether there is a reward or not, you should study hard and strive to get the first place in the exam."

"Don't mention the cell phone again. Cell phones are the most likely to affect you. Let's talk about it after your winter break. I won't buy you a cell phone when you're in school."

Lin Zhao's tears fell.

"You're a liar!"

"I will never trust you again!"

She will do the same when she grows up.

She promised her dad to buy her something, but she had to put forward some conditions. In the end, her dad did it, but she still refused to buy it!

"You're still angry, aren't you?"

"I'm saying this for your own good, isn't it?"

Veins popped out on Lin Zhiwen's forehead. He was really disappointed that his daughter was so utilitarian at such a young age.

Also very angry.

"Zhao Zhao, your father has to work so hard every day, why do you quarrel with him as soon as you come back?"

"It's not easy for dad to make money. Don't always nag dad to buy this and that. You should understand dad's hard work."

When the mother heard the quarrel, she came out of the kitchen and scolded Lin Zhao with a frown.

Lin Zhao held back her tears and held her neck high, refusing to admit defeat, "Dad was the first to break his word!"

“That’s enough!”

The mother interrupted Lin Zhao impatiently. She felt that her daughter had become increasingly disobedient since she entered junior high school.

"Isn't it just a cell phone? Dad just told me he would buy it for you during the winter vacation. What are you making a fuss about?"

Lin Zhao was speechless. She rushed into the room crying and locked the door.

Dad was knocking on the door from outside. "You are getting older and more ignorant. You quarreled with Mom and Dad over a cell phone!"

"Why do you have to buy a cell phone now when you can't have one? What do you want a cell phone for? Do you want to play games or meet some random people online?"

"I'm warning you, your most important task now is to study hard. If you dare to fall in love too early, I'll break your legs!"

Lin Zhaomu stared blankly with his eyes wide open.

She didn't expect that her father would not keep his word.

He actually used such vicious words to speculate about her.

Why was she born? Why did she have such terrible parents?

Lin Zhao, who was just in the first grade of junior high school, suddenly had such a terrible idea in her mind.

That night, she didn't eat. No matter how her parents scolded her outside or called relatives to make up stories about her, she didn't come out.

Lin Zhao knew that after her parents' arrangement, she had become a bad child who loved to compare with others, was ignorant, and had no interest in studying at all.

But it doesn't matter. No matter whether she is a good child or a bad child in their eyes, she is actually not happy.

This unhappiness reached its peak when I went to school the next day.

Xiao Zhou, the classmate sitting in front of her, has been laughing all day long, so much so that you can't even see his eyes.

On the contrary, Lin Zhao was in low spirits and not happy at all.

She poked Xiao Zhou on the back and said, "What are you laughing at? I see you've been having fun all day."

Xiao Zhou turned around and looked at her, smiling from ear to ear, "My mother said I did well in the exam, so she rewarded me with a cell phone!"

Lin Zhao's face was a little stiff. "But...but didn't you rank third from the bottom this time? The second to last was only two points behind you."

Classmate Xiao Zhou looked at her strangely.

"Why should I compare myself with others? My mom said that I went from last to third from last in the exam, which means I have improved by several points compared to my previous self. As long as I keep improving, I am amazing."

Lin Zhao's face turned paler.

"You... your mother doesn't think you want a cell phone as a toy?"

Student Xiao Zhou blinked his eyes and said, "My mother will check my homework. If she sees that I have finished my homework, she will let me play."

"She also limits the time I spend on my phone. I won't be holding my phone all day. I prefer hanging out with my parents rather than my phone."

Lin Zhao suddenly wanted to cry.

That's great.

She never liked going out with Mom and Dad.

She doesn't even like going home.

She was unhappy as soon as she got home.

Even the thought of the word home made her unhappy.
