Chapter 727: Being a gigolo also has its limits, right?
When they returned home that day, Lin Tang and Gu Yingzhou did not blame Lin Zhicheng. However, as soon as the family of four left, Lin Zhicheng was severely punished for not correctly assessing the danger and almost putting his two cousins in danger.
After the beating, he refused to show any interest in the mountains and was terrified of them.
Gu Mulin was only interested in the mountain. When he heard Lin Zhicheng say to change the place, he lowered his eyes in disappointment.
"Okay." He said listlessly.
Lin Tang knew that Zhicheng had been beaten because of the two brats at home. Hearing that A Lin was still trying to trick his nephew into taking him to the mountains, he said unhappily, "You still want to go to the mountains?"
"How can you be so bold, brat? Do you know that last time your brother Zhicheng took you to play in the mountains, he was beaten up by your second uncle..."
"You can't be so ignorant just because your family loves you, understand?"
Ajing is a calm person, so Lin Tang was not too worried.
But this kid is an invisible brother-con. He will support whatever his younger brother says. When the two little guys get naughty, it's really a headache.
Gu Mujing took it to heart and said, "Mom, my brother and I know."
"Yes, we understand." Gu Mulin also responded obediently.
The two boys were taken out to play by their older brother and sister. Lin Tang and Gu Yingzhou put down the things they brought and sat in the yard to chat with Zhou Mei.
"Second sister-in-law, I just vaguely heard you scolding Zhiming. What's wrong with him? Why doesn't he want to go to school?"
Zhou Mei sighed helplessly, "That's right."
As she spoke, she spread out the math test paper on the table. The bright red 2 in the score column was more effective than a thousand words.
"..." Lin Tang didn't understand, "Falling behind again?"
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Even if it was a blind cat that caught a dead mouse, it wouldn't be possible to get such a low score if I was so careless."
Zhou Mei felt like she had found someone to confide in. Holding back her sadness, she said, "Yeah, that's what I said too. Even if I'm not very educated, I could still get 20 points if I didn't get it right. There were so many questions, how come he only got 2 points?"
"If I didn't know that guy really couldn't do it, I would have thought he did it on purpose!"
Lin Tang: "..." It seems that Zhiming really has no talent for learning.
“…He wouldn’t say it was intentional.”
I just don't know how to do it. I'm confused and make all the mistakes.
Zhou Mei's face was filled with worry. "What will happen to him in the future if he doesn't study hard?"
Our family has everything they need now, but if my son doesn’t work hard, what will happen in the future?
Lin Zhiming went to the bathroom and didn't go out with the other children. When he heard his mother's words, he said, "What will I do in the future? I have arms and legs, how can I starve to death? Mom, please stop worrying about me. The more you worry, the faster you get old..."
Zhou Mei: “…” Listen to me, you are really driving me crazy with filial piety!
Lin Tang felt sad for his second sister-in-law after hearing this.
Adolescents really are like those with little thorns in their mouths that prick others without them realizing it.
"Zhiming, come and sit with me for a while."
The children of the Lin family admire and like their aunt Lin Tang and are very close to her.
Lin Zhiming instantly retracted the spikes on his body, took a small stool and sat down opposite Lin Tang.
"Go ahead, little aunt. I'm listening."
He placed his hands on his knees, his shoulders and back straight, and there was a sense of tension all over his body.
"Don't be nervous, let's just chat casually." Lin Tang comforted him with a smile.
But it's no use.
Lin Zhiming was still nervous.
"What are you talking about?"
Lin Tang glared at Lin Zhiming, then looked at Gu Yingzhou and said with a resentful tone, "Look, he's not even an adult yet, and he's already become distant from me. It must be because I don't go home often enough."
"..." Gu Yingzhou's mouth twitched uncontrollably, "...It's not a small amount."
The longest I come back is once a month, which is really not enough.
"Why does Zhiming suddenly have nothing to say to me?" Lin Tang pretended to be confused.
Lin Zhiming blushed and said, "It's not that I have nothing to say, it's just..."
He scratched his head awkwardly, "I just didn't do well in the exam. I'm too embarrassed to see my aunt."
Although he didn't feel embarrassed about having poor grades, he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his aunt whom he admired and loved the most.
Zhou Mei said: "You still know that you have no shame. I saw you acting so arrogantly, and I thought you didn't know. It's okay if you know that you have no shame."
Lin Zhiming was a person who cared a lot about his reputation. It was okay for him to be criticized normally, but when he was scolded by his own mother in front of his favorite aunt, his expression suddenly became unhappy.
Lin Tang frowned as he listened to his second sister-in-law's words.
How can you teach a child like this?!
"Second sister-in-law, Zhiming is grown up now. Please give him some face and don't scold him to his face. I know you want your son to be successful, but children have self-esteem. It's really inappropriate for you to speak like this."
This sentence suppressed the rebuttal that was on the tip of Lin Zhiming's tongue.
Zhou Mei didn't quite agree that children should have any face or self-esteem.
However, she did not refute a word in response to her sister-in-law's dissatisfied look.
...Okay, okay, at worst I won't talk about this brat in public anymore.
Lin Tang looked at Lin Zhiming. There was no preaching from an experienced person in his tone, nor any persuasion for your own good. Instead, he put the young man on an equal footing with himself.
"What do you think? I heard that you don't want to go to school after graduating from junior high school. What are your plans?"
Lin Zhiming was still a teenager and had no plans for his life.
He only knew that he didn't like studying and didn't want to study, and he just wanted to leave the place that shackled him.
Lin Zhiming thought about it, his eyes confused, not knowing how to answer.
Zhou Mei got angry again and said bitterly, "You don't want to go to school if you don't have a plan? What are you going to do in the future if you don't go to school?"
She and the child's father wanted to go to school but didn't have the conditions, and now they have the conditions but they don't want to go to school.
Isn't this a joke?!
Lin Zhiming's rebelliousness was even stronger when facing his mother who loved to humiliate him. He immediately said, "I earn work points to support myself."
Zhou Mei patted her chest to console herself, "Your father and I don't even earn work points anymore, but you, a little brat, are trying to earn them instead. You're bringing shame to our family."
Lin Zhiming added, "If you think it's shameful for me to earn work points, I can just do something else."
"What can you do when your hair hasn't fully grown yet?" Zhou Mei glared at him.
"My hair will grow back sooner or later!" Lin Zhiming said unconvincedly. "Besides, my brother is so awesome. When he becomes famous, I'll serve him tea and water, massage his shoulders and back, and earn a living."
The brother he was talking about was Lin Zhicheng.
Zhou Mei: “…” You are really promising!
Zhou Mei's lips trembled with anger and she couldn't utter a word.
It turns out that this is the most infuriating thing, and even more infuriating things are yet to come.
When Zhou Mei heard Lin Zhiming's next words, she almost fainted.
"If all else fails, I'll just be a gigolo and live off him. I won't starve to death." Lin Zhiming said angrily.
“…” Lin Tangmo, this is really a great ambition.
But, do we have to consider our hardware conditions first?
Being a gigolo also has its limits...
