Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father

Chapter 326 Xiao 5's revenge on Muchen

At the dinner table, Lin Mu's grandmother kept picking up food for Lin Yaozu.

That loving look was like looking at her own grandson. It wasn't that she had any love, but mainly because this future son-in-law, although his family was a little poor, was still in good health after all.

It just so happened that his jurisdiction involved the small shop run by her son.

"Mu Mu, how did you do in the exam this time? Are you confident that you can get into the first-tier universities?" Aunt's voice came from the other side. She was wearing a brand-name top with big logos printed all over it, and the gold bracelet on her wrist was shining.

Lin Mu forced a smile at her: "It should be no problem."

"Oh, you're quite confident." Auntie curled her lips and turned to Lin Mu's mother and said, "Little sister, didn't you say that Mu Mu's grades were not very good?"

"Mom, please stop talking about grades all the time." My cousin Wang Lili suddenly spoke up, interrupting her mother's nagging.

She had been busy tackling a crab and only now looked up. Lin Mu noticed her new manicure, with its exaggerated rhinestones and intricate patterns, which stood out on the dining table.

Wang Lili wiped her hands with a tissue and said nonchalantly, "Actually, our Mumu is such a good kid, it's okay if he doesn't do well in school. If he can't get into a good university, he can just choose a junior college."

As she spoke, she admired her nails, her tone light and airy, as if she was discussing the weather today.

Muchen felt a tightness in his chest and learned this from the original owner's memory.

Her cousin dropped out of high school and later married the son of a local small building materials merchant through a blind date. Now she posts pictures of bags and afternoon tea on WeChat Moments all day long.

My aunt rolled her eyes and said, "Things are different now. Education is worthless. How can you find a good job with a college degree?"

She turned to Lin Mu, her eyes filled with a hint of condescending pity. "Your cousin is lucky to have married the right man. There aren't that many good families waiting for you these days."

"Well! For girls, as long as they have a degree, it's fine. Nowadays, technical colleges are all three-year programs, and some can give you a diploma in two years." Lin Mu's mother, Zhou Li, was picking crabs in her hand. "Then find a job and wait to get married. After all, women, in the end, don't they still rely on men?"

"Oh, Auntie, you're right," Wang Lili sighed exaggeratedly. "There are so many college graduates now, and don't ordinary undergraduates still make four or five thousand? Who among the people who serve me tea and water at my husband's company isn't a top student?"

My aunt immediately responded, "That's right! What's the point of studying now? Look at Lili, she didn't even graduate from high school, but she's doing pretty well now. She lives in a big house, drives a BMW, and is much better off than those who have studied for a master's degree!"

"Society is so realistic nowadays. If you don't have money or power, no matter how much you study, it's all in vain. Look at the daughter of our neighbor, the Zhang family. After graduating from graduate school, she still ended up working as a clerk in the county town."

"Mumu, I'm not saying anything to you, but girls should be more realistic. Look at your cousin, how happy she is now."

"By the way, Mumu," Wang Lili suddenly came over, the scent of perfume making Lin Mu dizzy, "My husband has a cousin whose family owns a factory. Do you want me to introduce him to you?"

"Cousin, I'm only in my second year of high school." Lin Mu tried his best to keep his tone calm.

"The second year of high school is not a small thing! When I was a second year of high school..."

"You were expelled from school in your second year of high school." Lin Mu couldn't help but add.

The room fell silent. Auntie's expression darkened, and Zhou Li gave Lin Mu a warning glare.

"How can this kid talk to his cousin like that?" Zhou Li scolded, "Apologize quickly!"

Lin Mu clenched his chopsticks tightly: "I'm sorry, cousin."

Wang Lili snorted coldly: "You don't know what's good for you. What do you think studying can change? You're going to get married in the future, aren't you?"

"That's right," Aunt Zhou Yun chimed in. "Look at your mother. So what if she graduated from college? Didn't she still marry your Uncle Lin? Women, in the end, have to rely on men."

Lin Mu looked at his mother, expecting her to refute, but Zhou Li not only did not refute, but instead put down the prawn in her hand, wiped her hands, leaned forward, and began to ask about the cousin Wang Lili mentioned.

"Lili, how old is your boyfriend's cousin this year?"

Lin Mu's pupils suddenly contracted and his eyes gradually turned cold.

"He's in his early twenties, the only son in the family." Wang Lili glanced at Lin Mu proudly. "The factory makes millions a year."

Zhou Li's eyes lit up: "What kind of products do they make?"

"Mom!" Lin Mu tried his best to control his emotions, not wanting to lose his temper today.

Zhou Li ignored him and continued to ask: "How many houses do you have in the city? Are your parents easy to get along with?"

Zhou Yun laughed and interrupted: "Hey, little sister, are you going to show Mu Mu a girl?"

"Let's find out in advance." Zhou Li smiled, her eyes wrinkling. "Mu Mu will get married sooner or later."

"What Lily said makes sense," said her stepfather Zhou Zhigang slowly, picking his teeth. "It's harder for a girl to get married if she has too much education."

"That's exactly what I said!" Grandma immediately agreed, slapping the table, her dentures creaking in her mouth.

"Look at your aunt and your mother. Didn't I start looking for in-laws for them as soon as they graduated from high school?" She narrowed her cloudy eyes and stared at Lin Mu. "In my opinion, there's no need for you to go to college. A high school diploma is enough."

Muchen was so angry at this family that he laughed. He was already quite angry after being teased by Xiao Wu and then being transported to a girl.

But according to his and Sirong's habits, they usually wouldn't quarrel with these people, and would just keep quiet for a while before dealing with them. But today, he suddenly didn't want to do that.

"Mumu?" Zhou Li frowned. "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing! It's just funny." Lin Mu's voice was as light as a feather, but everyone could hear it clearly. "According to Grandma, I should get married after graduation."

Grandma Lin Mu's cloudy eyes lit up, and her hands, covered with age spots, excitedly slapped the table: "That's it! The two families will meet each other first, and if they are attracted to each other, we can arrange the marriage first.

When you are old enough, just get a marriage certificate! What do you think?

Aunt Zhou Yun rolled her eyes and immediately agreed, "I think it's okay. That's what my Lili did back then." She glanced proudly at her daughter, who was wearing heavy makeup, "Isn't she living a good life now?"

Lin Mu watched his mother, Zhou Li, turn to look at his stepfather, the man with a perpetually stern face. His stepfather slowly wiped his mouth and gave a barely perceptible nod.

"I think it's not impossible," Zhou Li said cheerfully, as if she had received some kind of permission. "Mumu should study normally and take the exams normally when it's time. If she can get into a good school, we will work harder to support her college education..."

"If your grades are just average," Zhou Li continued, her tone as casual as if she were discussing what to do with tonight's leftovers, "I don't think there's any point in going to a technical college."
