Chapter 323 Unable to communicate
He watched other children grow up happily under the love and care of their parents, while he could only live cautiously for fear of displeasing his father.
“When I was little, I watched other kids playing outside while I was stuck at home studying.
How I wish I could enjoy the happiness of childhood freely like them, but you never give me this opportunity.
You always say that I must study hard, have a bright future, and not let you down.
But have you ever thought about how I feel? I also have my own dreams and pursuits, but you never care about them. "
Chen Hai cried, the grievances in his heart surged like a tide.
While growing up, Chen Hai has been trying hard to meet his father's expectations and to be a good and obedient child.
He suppressed his true thoughts and emotions and dared not resist in the slightest.
He thought that as long as he worked hard enough, he would be able to get his father's recognition and love.
However, no matter how hard he tried, his father never seemed satisfied.
“I studied hard, got into a good university, and found a good job.
I thought this would make you happy and get your praise.
But what about you? You are still so strict and picky with me. I am never good enough in your eyes. "
Chen Hai's voice trembled. He felt that his life had been completely ruined by his father.
But this time, Chen Hai decided not to remain silent and no longer live for his family.
He must stand up bravely, fight for his rights, and live for himself.
He wanted to let his father know that he was also a person with thoughts and feelings, and he had the right to choose his own life.
“From now on, I will live for myself.
I am no longer your puppet and no longer live according to your demands.
I want to pursue my dreams and do what I want to do.”
Chen Hai said firmly, with a light in his eyes that he had never seen before.
Chen Yanshi was shocked by his son's words. He looked at this son who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar to him, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
He knew that he might have problems in educating his children, but he always thought he was doing it for the good of his children.
He didn't expect that his actions would cause such great harm to his son.
"Chen Hai, how can you say that? Everything I do is for your own good.
I hope you can be successful and live a good life." Chen Yanshi tried to explain.
But Chen Hai couldn't listen anymore. He shook his head and said, "For my own good? What you mean by for my own good is to make me lose myself and lose my happiness? I don't need such good.
I want to live for myself and pursue my own happiness."
Chen Hai turned and walked out of the room, leaving Chen Yanshi standing there blankly.
Chen Yanshi's heart was filled with regret and self-blame, and he began to reflect on his own behavior.
He realized that he had always been too strong and had never really cared about his son's inner feelings.
Wang Fuzhen and Hou Liangping watched all this from the side, their hearts filled with emotion.
They knew that this family storm would bring huge changes to the family.
Wang Fuzhen walked up to Chen Yanshi, patted him on the shoulder gently, and said, "Old Chen, don't be too sad.
Although what Chen Hai said was unpleasant, it was not without reason.
When we educate our children, we should really consider their feelings more.”
As soon as Wang Fuzhen finished speaking, Chen Yanshi felt it was unreasonable.
He frowned, his eyes revealing stubbornness and persistence.
"What do you mean by considering their feelings? I do this for their own good! I have eaten more salt than they have eaten rice, and I know what is best for them."
Chen Yanshi said loudly, his tone full of determination.
After hearing what Chen Yanshi said, Wang Fuzhen felt a surge of dissatisfaction in her heart.
“Old Chen, you can’t always be so stubborn.
Times have changed and children have their own thoughts and feelings.
We can’t always impose our own ideas on them.”
Chen Yanshi snorted, "No matter how the times change, some truths will never change.
I teach them to be strong and responsible, what's wrong with that?"
Wang Fuzhen shook her head and said, "You are just too tough.
Children need more than that, they also need love and understanding.”
The two of them argued fiercely again.
The quarrel started when they were young and had children and has continued to this day.
Years of conflicts broke out completely at this moment. They blamed each other and no one was willing to give in.
"Look at you, you always spoil them. It's because you are too soft-hearted that they are so disobedient."
Chen Yanshi said.
Wang Fuzhen retorted: "You only know how to be strict, and never know how to be gentle.
The children are afraid to speak in front of you."
Their quarrel became louder and louder, and their emotions became more and more excited.
The room was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if it could explode at any moment.
Chen Hai and Hou Liangping, who were outside, felt very troubled when they heard their parents quarreling in the inner room.
Chen Hai sighed helplessly. He didn't know how to persuade his parents.
Hou Liangping stood aside awkwardly. He wanted to leave but was stopped by Chen Hai.
"Liangping, don't leave yet. Wait until they calm down." Chen Hai said.
Hou Liangping nodded, but he felt very uneasy.
He felt himself caught in an awkward situation and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the quarrel in the room suddenly escalated.
Chen Yanshi and Wang Fuzhen's emotions were out of control and they started pushing each other.
With a loud bang, the tables, chairs and benches in the room were overturned to the ground, and vases and other decorations were smashed to pieces.
Wang Fuzhen was so angry that her face turned red. She picked up a cup and threw it to the ground.
"Chen Yanshi, you are just an old stubborn person!" she shouted.
Chen Yanshi was not to be outdone, he threw a book to the ground fiercely. "You are the unreasonable one!"
The room was a mess, with things smashed to pieces.
The broken glass, scattered books and tilted chairs were shocking to see.
Wang Fuzhen continued to throw things, throwing everything she could get onto the ground.
"I've had enough! For so many years, you have never considered my feelings."
Chen Yanshi was also angry and he kept throwing things.
"You just keep pampering them. Sooner or later, you'll spoil them."
The sounds of their quarreling and throwing things mixed together like a disaster.
Chen Hai and Hou Liangping were terrified when they heard what happened outside. They didn't know what to do.
Chen Hai wanted to go in and persuade his parents, but he was afraid that he would be dragged into it.
Hou Liangping paced anxiously by the side, hoping that the quarrel would end as soon as possible.
