At the dinner table.

Xu Li was eating his meal in a gloomy manner, and he frowned at Xu Jiacheng who was eating happily.

Before Xu Jiacheng could say anything, his wife Zhao Mingfang spoke first, "Xu Li, I warn you, if you keep showing such a dead look, I will let your father slap you!"

"Xu Jiacheng!"

Hearing his wife's voice, Xu Jiacheng shuddered immediately.

Xu Jiacheng held half a crab in his hand, and after looking at Zhao Mingfang, he quickly threw the half crab back into the bowl and looked at Xu Li.

"I tell you, Xu Li, you are older now, 16 years old, and I can't fight with you!" Xu Jiacheng did not listen to Zhao Mingfang's words and directly attacked Xu Li, but instead made some harsh words and warned Xu Li who didn't know the severity of the situation.

"But don't think that your family is rich now, and you can stay at home playing games every day even if you don't go to school!"

"Your mother and I spend tens of thousands of yuan every year to send you to Jiahe No. 1 Middle School. It's not that your mother and I have too much money to burn! You have to get a return for your efforts!"

"If you still don't make any progress in the final exam at the end of this year, you'd better stop studying and drop out of school! Your mother and I will also stop giving you living expenses! Go to the factory at home and work with the workers, be honest and obedient. Earn money to support yourself!"

Seeing Xu Li's unconvincing look, Zhao Mingfang laughed angrily, "Xu Li, your father and I are not kidding you. If you have the guts, continue to live a lazy life like this. Let's see if your father and I dare to let you drop out of school and come back to work as a laborer?!"

Xu Jiacheng's deterrent power is when he doesn't speak and looks at Xu Li quietly, which makes Xu Li tremble. So when Xu Jiacheng just warned Xu Li, Xu Li still didn't believe it.

But when Zhao Mingfang said harsh words to Xu Li with an inexplicable smile, Xu Li was really scared.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever Zhao Mingfang showed this kind of smile on his face, Xu Li would definitely have something bad happen to him, so he couldn't help but believe that his parents really didn't dare to do such a thing.

Xu Li had seen how the workers in the bathroom factory worked, and naturally heard about the hard work.

In Xu Li's opinion, as Xu Jiacheng's only biological son, Xu Jiacheng should not be so cruel as to throw him to the factory as a laborer...right?

Xu Li did not dare to gamble. What if his father really dared to do such a thing under the instigation of his mother? This was not against the law. He had already completed nine years of compulsory education. It was not against the law to send him to work in his own factory after the New Year.

So, Xu Li put away his unhappy look, honestly picked up the rice bowl, and ate the rice with big mouthfuls of food.

Seeing Xu Li give in, Xu Jiacheng's tone also softened, "Your mother and I have hired a tutor for you. This is a prospective college student. This year, he scored 630 points in the Anhui Provincial College Entrance Examination! He is more than enough to teach you!"

"Starting tomorrow, you will study hard at home. He will accompany you and teach you his study methods. Learn as much as you can, just a little, don't be lazy!"

......

The next day.

Early in the morning, Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang woke up Xu Li, who was still sleeping soundly in the air conditioner and wrapped in a quilt.

"Xu Li! Hurry up!" Zhao Mingfang walked into Xu Li's room, opened the curtains in the room, turned around to find the air conditioner remote control, turned off the air conditioner, and then lifted Xu Li's quilt.

"Mom, let me sleep a little longer. I read until after 10 o'clock last night." Xu Li tried to exchange his mother's tolerance for him in this way.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingfang showed no mercy and left after saying one word.

"Xu Li, don't let me repeat it a second time. I won't see you dressed up and coming downstairs to eat breakfast in ten minutes. You should consider the consequences yourself."

Under the pressure of Zhao Mingfang, Xu Li no longer dared to dawdle in bed.

Xu Li sat up from the bed and sighed helplessly.

"Alas, it's my own fault, it's my own fault." After comforting himself, Xu Li no longer dared to dawdle. He quickly put on his clothes, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went downstairs with a thump.

Seeing that her son really didn't procrastinate like before, Zhao Mingfang nodded and pointed to the breakfast on the table, "Eat quickly, and then I'll take you to the factory. I'll introduce you to the tutor in the morning! At noon, we will go home with the tutor, and the tutor will accompany you to study at home in the afternoon." Since he couldn't resist, he would just enjoy it silently. Xu Li was speechless and could only nod with a bitter face.Sit down quietly and start to eat breakfast.

Seeing her son like this, Zhao Mingfang knows the principle that you can't just let the horse run without letting it eat grass.

After showing the big stick, you have to hold him with a carrot, right?

So, Zhao Mingfang thought about it and said to Xu Li who was dealing with a basket of steamed dumplings, "As long as your grades can be improved this summer to satisfy me and your father, I will buy you the PS3 Super Slim you have been clamoring for!"

As soon as the key word 'PS3 Super Slim' was mentioned, Xu Li's eyes lit up.

He raised his head quickly, swallowed the steamed dumpling in his mouth with great effort, and said quickly, "Really?! Mom, don't lie to me! When we were young, you said you would save my New Year's money for me, but you didn't give it to me later. I still remember it!"

Zhao Mingfang glared at Xu Li, "What do you mean you didn't give me?! Isn't the pocket money you spent later money? I mean what I said! As long as your grades improve, as long as your grades improve and your dad and I are satisfied, then we will buy it for you!"

"Okay! A gentleman's word is as good as a horse! I will study hard even if I don't sleep at night!" Xu Li said excitedly.

Zhao Mingfang smiled coldly, "Still not sleeping? You are so eager to work hard, you have to stick to it for three days!"

Xu Li was unwilling to admit defeat, "Stick to it for three days?! For my PS3, I can stick to it for a whole summer vacation!"

Zhao Mingfang knew her son's character of working for three days and drying the net for two days, and was sure that Xu Li would not be able to stick to it. So Zhao Mingfang said to Xu Li, "Okay! As long as you really stick to studying hard for a whole summer vacation, even if your grades don't improve, I will buy you this game console!"

"But remember, I said study hard, not hide in your room and secretly play with your phone or computer!"
