Chapter 256 Suffocating the Family - The Way of the Man
After the couple reached an agreement, You Shengli returned home to live, but the study room at home was converted into a small bedroom, and each of the three members of the family had an independent bedroom.
The couple can be described as being incompatible in appearance and living together.
After this incident, You Shengli became more concerned about his daughter, but he didn't know that his daughter was no longer at the age where she needed fatherly love.
After receiving the college entrance examination admission notice, Wang Hehua had no intention of inviting relatives to have a meal together to celebrate.
However, a child's college entrance examination is one of the major events in life, and Wang's relatives all suggested that Wang Hehua take the child back to his hometown to see him.
It was difficult to shirk this matter, so the family of three had to drive to Wang's house on Saturday.
The couple maintained superficial harmony.
Wang Hehua is the fourth child in the family, with three older sisters and a younger sister. In fact, the Wang family wanted a son but failed, so there are only five golden flowers in the family.
As the only girl in her family who left the town and did not marry in the town, Wang Hehua seemed to have a psychological sense of self-superiority. She always made decisions at home for many years, and she showed off to her sisters many times about her husband and children to satisfy her psychological vanity.
You Shengli was driving in the front, and the mother and daughter were sitting in the back.
The scenery outside the window flew by, the music in the car surrounded his ears, and Zhou Leng was secretly observing his mother, watching her behavior.
Wang Hehua was looking through his phone, holding her hand with one hand and taking her phone away with the other.
Zhou Leng pressed the button and watched the screen go black. Seeing her smiling face reflected in it, she tilted her head and said gently:
"Mom, you get carsick easily. Don't look at your phone unless it's important. It's not good for your eyes. The phone screen and the moving car will make you more carsick."
Wang Hehua looked at the sincere eyes and the phone in the other person's hand, and she said unhappily:
"You're nosy. Just take care of yourself and stop trying to take advantage of others."
Wang Hehua is always so moody towards her daughter. When she is in a good mood, she is very caring, but when she is not, she is arrogant. I don’t know if she thinks she has to endure her husband because of her daughter, so she has been treating her daughter very badly recently.
In fact, if she wanted to divorce, Zhou Leng would support her, but unfortunately as a daughter she never had the opportunity to choose.
Zhou Leng ignored the other party's cold face, she still gently held her mother's hand, ignored the other party's anger and continued to smile, and even imitated the exaggerated tone in the TV series and said:
"Mom, I'm doing this for your own good. If you get carsick, you'll get nauseous, vomit, and feel dizzy. Stop looking at your phone and be obedient, okay? I'm doing this for your own good! Besides, isn't this the way you talk to your daughter? As a mother, you need to give me a good family environment, otherwise I'll become abnormal, mentally unhealthy, and depressed. You treat me so badly all day long that I want to jump out of the car now."
Wang Hehua always felt that her daughter was provoked by her husband. Now he was particularly weird and moody, and paid too much attention to her. She compromised and said:
"I understand. I won't watch it anymore. That's enough."
Zhou Leng watched her mother nod with satisfaction, and even patted her on the shoulder. She must become a good child who cares about her parents and likes to control everything before Wang Hehua feels that she needs to control her daughter more after losing her husband.
As a good child, you should care more about your parents and take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation in every detail.

The Wang family is well off, otherwise Wang Hehua would not have gone to high school when he was young.
The Wang family initially sold pork in the town, and later began to raise pigs at home. Now they have almost a hundred pigs.
The other sisters of the Wang family still live in the town and come back to help with the work on weekdays.
The Wangs would give their daughters a little bit of money every month, which would allow them to relax and help their daughters stand up straight in their husband's family. Since they knew that they were not destined to have sons, the old couple took good care of their five daughters.
Some people expect to receive praise and recognition from their parents all their lives, while some people never cherish this love because of their parents' favoritism and attention since childhood. Instead, they take it for granted that others should accommodate them and put themselves at the center of everything.
Wang Hehua is the latter.
Among the five girls in the Wang family, only Wang Hehua was a good student and eloquent since childhood, so she was quite loved by her parents. Also, because she was the only one who was admitted to high school, had an independent job, and the man she found was a radio host, her parents were quite proud of her.
This is how it is in the town. Just because Wang's son-in-law is a radio host, no one says anymore that his family has no boys to carry on the bloodline. Even though he is a radio host, everyone thinks he is someone that ordinary people cannot afford to offend.
The Wang family lives on the edge of the town because their pig farm is very large.
The front yard is a small pig farm, the backyard is a tiled house built by the family, and on the east side is a row of gatehouses where pigs are slaughtered and meat is sold.
Because You Tong's grandfather Wang Chen wanted a son before, he didn't even dare to cheat or deceive others. He did this to accumulate merits for himself. Over time, he became a conscientious seller with a good reputation. Many people in the city drove to buy freshly slaughtered pork.
As soon as You Shengli parked the car, the old couple of the Wang family, who had been waiting at the gatehouse, came out of the house with smiles on their faces.
Zhou Leng and Wang Hehua also got out of the car, and after greeting each other, they went to the back room to chat. You Shengli took out the gifts from the trunk and followed the mother and daughter.
Wang Hehua has always been the one who has a high profile at home because she feels that she lives better than her sisters.
In the past, You Shengli did not actually cooperate with his wife in showing off at home. But now things have changed. Wang Hehua has to use showing off to regain the lost sense of superiority from his family when he suffers anger and grievances outside.
The emptier your heart is, the richer the outside world is.
The women of the family sat down in the main house and chatted, and the large space even felt crowded.
It is natural for sisters to wish each other a good life, but the fact that Wang Hehua doesn't fit in with her sisters is somewhat ironic.
You Shengli followed his father-in-law and several brothers-in-law to the west room. Naturally, the topics of conversation between men and women were different.
Several of You Tong's uncles are residents of the town. Every family relies on the land to make a living, except for the youngest uncle whose family runs a supermarket.
Isn't this how life is? Most people are working hard to pursue material satisfaction, and only a few people want spiritual enrichment after they are materially satisfied.
Zhou Leng took off his coat, changed into his grandmother's clothes, then leaned comfortably beside his grandmother and listened to them talking about the past together. If it weren't for Wang Hehua always saying some condescending words, the atmosphere in the room would be very harmonious.
