Chapter 134.2: The Scummy Brother (2)
Lin Shixing felt a sense of rebirth after the disaster. Before she could rejoice, she heard Mother Lin continue her plan by saying...
“If Shixing doesn’t marry someone, then she should go to work. I originally said that it’s better to talk about it after graduating from high school, and she could hold up her head after marriage. Since the marriage has fallen through, she should go to work to ease the burden on her family.”
The joy on the girl’s face froze.
She couldn’t control her tears and subconsciously pleaded, “Mom, I can get a scholarship, I can still work part-time, you can’t make me drop out of school, if I do, I’ll never get another chance...”
“Aiyo... Mom.”
A playful voice interrupted her. Lin Shixing wiped a tear from her eye and looked at her brother who spoke with an impatient look, “Can you control her? She has her own scholarship and can work part-time as a tutor to earn money, she can earn enough money during her time off from school. If you don’t let her go to school, she’ll go straight to school with her bag on her back, and you’ll be too ashamed to go and bring her back.”
Lin Shixing looked at him blankly, the thought of ‘you can’t do anything if your parents won’t let you do it’ was suddenly shattered in her mind.
Yes, she had the ability to earn money by herself. Although she didn’t have much time off during the week, she’s top of her year and it’s quite easy to get a job as a tutor. Plus, the scholarship and the money she could earn during this long vacation time, she didn’t have to rely on her family’s money.
Why do I need to care about my parent’s disapproval? Dad would want to save face and certainly wouldn’t approve of Mom going to school and dragging me home.
