Chapter 1201 Am I being unfilial?
The call was from Tang Xinyi's brother, telling her that her mother was seriously ill and asking her to go back as soon as possible.
Tang Xinyi is from Jiangsu Province and comes from a scholarly family. Her father is a professor at a university in Jinling, and her mother was originally a teacher at a local key high school. Later, she voluntarily resigned due to the over-study problem and opened an off-campus tutoring class. In the education and training industry She has been working for more than 20 years. From the original tutoring class with just her, it later developed into a relatively well-known local after-school tutoring institution, and became a veritable female entrepreneur with a high net worth.
Being born in such a family, her academic performance has not been very good since she was a child, so she came to Xiuzhou to study at an art school. Not long after graduation, she was cast in "The Palace of the Qing Dynasty" The director of "Raiders" took a fancy to it and played an N-number supporting role in it. Unexpectedly, it became an instant hit.
In the next few years, she took on many roles and made a lot of money, but she was not very popular.
Her personal reputation is somewhere between the first and second tier, neither above nor below, which makes her very depressed.
Later, when she partnered with others to do micro-business, she actually invested some money into her partners. Unexpectedly, because she caught up with the good times, she earned more in just two years than she did in several years of filming. money.
So, she simply stopped acting and planned to focus on micro-business with her partners.
As a result, the micro-business business suddenly stopped working. There was too much competition in the same category, coupled with policy controls, the result was that they didn’t make much money in a year.
Her original partner immediately announced that he was breaking up with her.
Fortunately, Tang Xinyi had already made a lot of money before, but she did not lose any money.
Because she has money and savings, since it is difficult to start a micro-business, she plans to do what she thinks is her professional counterpart, open a film and television media company, be her own boss, produce and invest in films.
As a result, although it is not a loss in the past few years, it is far less than the money she made from investing in micro-business.
The relationship between Tang Xinyi and her family is not bad, but it cannot be said to be great, otherwise she would not choose to settle down and live alone in Xiuzhou.
The main reason is that her parents have been strict with her brother and sister since they were young, and their tutoring is strict.
Her brother's academic performance has always been very good. He has been a top student since he was a child. He was admitted to the best local university in their area - Jinling University. After graduation, he successfully stayed in school. Now he is forty years old and is already an associate professor. .
Tang Xinyi's academic performance has not been good since she was a child. Even though her parents tried all kinds of methods, including personally tutoring in turns, of course including beatings and scoldings, punishing them to stand, not being allowed to eat, etc., they still failed. How much will it improve her academic performance.
This undoubtedly severely damaged her parents' self-esteem and made her parents lose face among their friends and family. Especially for her mother, who had always been strong, it was a huge blow. In her mother's eyes, Tang Xinyi was unable to hold herself up, and she was not expected to have any future prospects.
Her mother had to lose her iron job because she decided to give birth to her, and changed her career to teach and train. For her mother's generation, the sacrifices were enormous.
As a result, she sacrificed so many daughters to be born, but she turned out to be such a thing. She couldn't read well. In the eyes of her generation, she would have no future. Of course, she was very angry. , also very disappointed.
Therefore, before entering junior high school, Tang Xinyi was not very popular at home and was often criticized by her mother. Her father was a little nicer to her, but as long as her mother was around, her father couldn't be too nice to her.
As for her brother, he is 6 years older than her, so there is an age difference. When she was older, her brother had been living in school, and he had a somewhat bookish personality. He rarely communicated with her in daily life, so naturally there was no communication. What a deep brother-sister relationship.
Especially after her father passed away due to illness a few years ago, she no longer cared much about her family.
Usually she has very little contact with her mother, let alone her brother.
Now she suddenly received a call from her brother, informing her that her mother was seriously ill. After a brief moment of shock, she calmly stated that she would go back as soon as possible. After the brother and sister said this, they did not talk much. They hung up the phone tacitly.
But as soon as the call was hung up, Tang Xinyi's tears flowed down unsatisfactorily, and she hugged Chen Feng and cried for a while.
After Chen Feng comforted her for a while, she slowly stopped crying, but her tears had already wet Chen Feng's collar.
Following Tang Xinyi, she revealed the situation of her original family to Chen Feng.
After hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh. No wonder Tang Xinyi hardly talked about her family with her before. This was obviously the reason.
“Do you think I’m bad? No matter how bad my parents are, they still raised me. But since I graduated from college and became financially independent, I rarely go back to my hometown to see them. Even during the Chinese New Year, I stayed there for two days. Since my father passed away, I haven’t been back much during the Chinese New Year. Do you think I’m being unfilial?”
Tang Xinyi asked Chen Feng in tears.
To be honest, after listening to her narration, Chen Feng felt that she was somewhat unfilial.
She suffered strict discipline from her parents when she was a child, especially some of her mother’s actions that could be considered domestic violence, but as she said herself, her parents raised her up until she was financially Before independence, she was never given less food or clothing, and she was never treated badly in terms of material life.
As a result, she took the initiative to leave her parents' life immediately after becoming financially independent.
This alone cannot be said to be unfilial. The main reason why she is unfilial is that after living independently, she does not care much about her parents in her hometown. She only goes back to stay for two days during the Chinese New Year and does not care about her parents at ordinary times. How to contact, this is a bit too much. It makes people feel that she has some attributes of a white-eyed wolf.
Therefore, Chen Feng was really unsure how to answer her for a while.
In this matter, Chen Feng did not want to speak out of conscience. But she is sad now. If she told the truth, wouldn't it make her even more sad? I can only respond in silence.
Seeing Chen Feng's delay in answering, Tang Xinyi understood what was going on and couldn't help covering her mouth again and started crying.
Chen Feng was a little helpless, so he hugged her again and comforted her: "There is something wrong with you not caring much about your parents all these years. But I can also understand the reason why you are like this. It's just you. When I was a child, I lived a very depressed and unhappy life at home. As you said, your mother often treated you Beatings, scoldings, and cynicism have cast a deep shadow on your childhood. Your mother reaped what you sow. After you lived alone in Xiuzhou, you didn't usually contact her much, and you didn't treat her very much. It’s understandable to be concerned. Most of the responsibility lies with your mother.”
< br>After hearing what Chen Feng said, Tang Xinyi finally felt a little better. She sobbed softly and said, "Don't comfort me. I know that the main responsibility still lies with me. In fact, I have always hated my parents in my heart. , I hate that they favor boys over girls, they only love my brother but not me, and I hate that they were so strict when I was a child. Discipline caused a lot of harm to me physically and mentally. It wasn't until I got older that they gave up on me, and they became kinder to me, especially my dad, who always felt guilty about me. Psychologically, he has been very good to me since junior high school, but I still can't completely let go of him
I feel that as my father, he watched me being abused by my mother when I was a child, and did not help, and sometimes became an accomplice. It is difficult for me to forgive. It wasn't until he died of a heart attack a few years ago that I truly forgave him in my heart. After that, I also wanted to forgive my mother, but I tried hard but really couldn't. As her daughter, I didn't take the initiative to contact her a few times throughout the year. But as for her, as my mother, she didn’t even take the initiative to contact me once throughout the year. Do you think I can’t feel cold?
As long as she can take the initiative to contact me and express her concern for me, I will not only contact her during the holidays. I was wrong, but so was she. I tried to truly reconcile with her many times, but failed many times. This was not only because of me, but also because of her. She has always been a strong person in her life. She never takes the initiative to admit her mistakes and apologize, and she never takes the initiative to give in. "
After hearing her words, Chen Feng really understood her "unfilial piety" in his heart.
As many people said, children cannot be blamed only for their unfilial piety, most of them The responsibility lies with the parents themselves.
“Your mother is seriously ill now, so just take it easy. It is a lifelong pain for many people to have a child who wants to take care of him but is not treated as such. No matter how unlucky you were when you were a child, now that your mother is seriously ill, you have to let go of all the hatred you had for her. After all, she is your biological mother, who gave you life and raised you, and you can never change this. Only by letting go of the hatred in your heart can your life truly be happy and complete. ”
After hearing Chen Feng's words, Tang Xinyi was certainly touched in her heart, and she cried again while holding him. Chen Feng lost his temper because of her crying. After she cried for a while, he reminded her: "You'd better stop crying now. Clean up and go back to see your mother as soon as possible. I hope she can survive it."
Tang Xinyi this Then he let go of Chen Feng, sat up straight, nodded and choked with sobs: "Thank you, my mother...she is so strong, she will definitely get through it this time. I will go and clean up now."
After that , Tang Xinyi wiped her tears and went to pack her luggage.
Chen Feng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her wiping away tears and looking sad.
Isn't it that Tang Xinyi is just like her mother, always very strong? It was here, being pressed so hard by him, that he showed his softer side.
Tang Xinyi moved very quickly. It only took five minutes to pack her things and push a suitcase out of the bedroom.
"Let me take you to the train station."
Chen Feng said proactively.
Tang Xinyi nodded with red eyes: "Thank you."
"Tell me how to thank you."
Chen Feng stepped forward and took her suitcase, turned around and walked out.
Her mother is seriously ill, and she doesn’t know if she can get through it. As a daughter, Tang Xinyi must get over it as soon as possible.
The two quickly went downstairs, and Chen Feng drove her to the train station.
It only takes more than an hour by train from Xiuzhou to Jinling, which is not very far.
The result was like this. Tang Xinyi didn't go back much all year round, which was really unjustifiable.
On the way, after Tang Xinyi booked the train ticket on her mobile phone, she kept wiping her tears with tissues. This undoubtedly shows that she still has feelings for her mother.
About twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the train station. Before getting off, Chen Feng couldn't help but persuade her again: "Xinyi, you should reconcile with your mother when you go back this time. Otherwise, you You will definitely regret it in the future. Choose to forgive her and reconcile with her while she is still alive, so that you can let go of the burden of the past and move towards the future. Traveling lightly makes life and mood easier."
After being silent for a while, Tang Xinyi nodded slightly and said, "I understand, and I don't want to live in the shadow of my childhood and keep healing myself. childhood.”
“It’s good that you know, but I hope you do it.”
"Well, thank you."
"Okay, don't say thank you, get out of the car. I'll get your luggage."
The two got out of the car together, and Chen Feng quickly picked him up from the trunk. Her luggage was taken out and he waved goodbye to her.
After leaving the train station, Chen Feng drove to Bibo Garden to see his two children.
This time Chen Feng went to Liu Ying to see his daughter first.
It just happened that when he came over, his daughter happened to be sleeping.
After Chen Feng looked around for a while, he came out of the bedroom.
In the living room, Liu Ying had already made wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea for him.
Chen Feng was not polite. After sitting down, he picked up the teacup and drank. The water temperature was just right.
"Is the water temperature appropriate? I bought a health pot to make tea. Knowing that you might come over today, I made it for you in the morning and adjusted the water temperature to 50 degrees."
Liu Ying said this, obviously trying to please Chen Feng.
It's a pity that Chen Feng just hummed after hearing this and continued drinking tea.
Liu Ying was a little helpless when she saw this, so she had to continue: "Chen Feng, I've been thinking about it these days and feel that I can't stay at home like this all the time. After all, I also went to college and studied abroad, and I also Not too old..."
Chen Feng interrupted: "Do you want to go out to work or start your own business?"
Chen Feng didn't ask her if she wanted to return to Fengmang Film and Television, because it wasn't possible. possible. Liu Ying was ostracized by Wu Mengting and Lu Sijia at the beginning, and she would be equally ostracized when she returned. As long as Liu Ying had some brains, she would not be foolish enough to go back.
"I want to be your personal assistant." Liu Ying pointedly stated, "Didn't Jin Xinyan stop doing it? I just made up for it."
Chen Feng couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. He was really I didn't expect Liu Ying to make such a request.
After thinking about it for a moment, it seems that Liu Ying being his personal assistant is also a good choice.
First of all, Liu Ying's ability to do things is still good, at least not worse than Jin Xinyan. Secondly, as his woman and her daughter's biological mother, Liu Ying is undoubtedly trustworthy.
In addition, Liu Ying, like Jin Xinyan, is a native of Xiuzhou and has certain social connections. If she is asked to do some things for him, run errands, deal with some interpersonal relationships, etc. Yes, it is completely capable.
It's just that Chen Feng had to avoid her and not let her know some of the more private things. From this point of view, Liu Ying is somewhat unsuitable.
Also, my precious daughter is still breastfeeding. If she comes to work for him, won’t my daughter have to stop breastfeeding?
Compared to his daughter's breastfeeding, Chen Feng's personal assistant matter is not very important, at least not very important at the moment, and it can still be postponed for a while.
So, Chen Feng shook his head slightly and said: "You still have to breastfeed the child. Besides, you are not short of money now, so there is no need to go out to work. Also, I already have a candidate here, You said it was too late.”
