Seeing he couldn't get the stern Daisy's mercy, he tried to ask me for help. "Amber, please help me. I will study hard in the future. Just don't destroy them."
I just put the suitcase away and comforted him perfunctorily, "It doesn't matter. When your test scores improve, your parents will definitely buy you a new one."
The light in Ethan's eyes dimmed.
He shuttled to Daisy and numbly smashed his favorite toys.
Daisy said proudly, "Next time if you fail any subject in the exam, I will smash one of them. After I smash the model planes, I will smash the other things you like. Do you understand?"
Ethan nodded with a dull look.
Then, he took out his textbooks and studied all night.
Meanwhile, Daisy sat in the living room, constantly showing off how successfully her education was for others.
She said, "You can't praise a child, otherwise they will think they are the greatest in the world and put pressure on us, their parents! Look at my kid. He behaves better after being scolded and doesn't even go to bed but studies until midnight."
She just keeps on bragging.
Little did she know that Ethan didn't actually finish any math problems or remember a word in his text book.
The next day, Peter came back from his job and heard about Ethan's dissatisfying test results.
He began to question whether Daisy's method really worked.
"Those well-educated mothers have a really effective way of education, but you are not like them. I don't think you can improve Ethan's grades by just scolding him," he said.
"So what if I didn't even finish high school? There are two months left, and I will learn what he is learning and teach him. He will definitely be admitted to the best local high school," Daisy swore boldly on the spot.
In order not to be looked down upon by her husband, she started to study on her own with full determination.
Not only did she learn by herself, she also got Ethan involved.
She somehow heard that the earlier one started studying, the deeper the impression of knowledge would be in one's brain.
So, at 5 a.m., she woke Ethan up and made her drowsy child jog and memorize the knowledge points.
Due to lack of sleep for a long time, Ethan sometimes fell asleep while eating.
Peyton went on a hunger strike for several days to protest her beloved grandson's suffering.
Daisy had to postpone her plan of waking Ethan up at five in the morning to study.
