Chapter 726: 726 Severe aversion to studying

Zhou Mei was about to explode with anger, her broom swishing fiercely in her hand.

"So you won’t come over, huh? Fine, I’ll come to you myself. If you can dodge this beating, I’ll take your surname."

Lin Zhiming’s naïve disposition hadn’t faded a bit with age, as he continued hopping back and forth over Zhou Mei’s limit of tolerance.

"My dad said that once you married into the Lin Family, your name is prefixed with ’Lin,’ so even if you took my surname, it’s still Lin..."

His lips kept smacking, infuriating Zhou Mei even more.

"Still arguing back? I’m telling you Lin Zhiming, you’re done for. If I don’t swell your behind today, then I’m not your real mother."

Lin Zhiming continued, "Even if it doesn’t swell, you’re still my real mother!"

Zhou Mei’s face turned red with rage as she swung the broom chasing after him.

Lin Zhicheng, Lin Zhixuan, and Lin Fei stood under the eaves watching the commotion, expressions unchanged.

Obviously, they were used to it.

Here we go again...

Lin Zhiming kept dodging Zhou Mei’s broom, still cheekily saying, "Mom, stop chasing me. You won’t catch me, and I won’t let you hit me. I need to go to school tomorrow."

Zhou Mei chased after him in vain and ended up winded and breathless.

After hearing Lin Zhiming’s remark, she shouted angrily while panting, "Go to school? You and your lousy scores... don’t even talk about school! Come home and work to earn work points instead. With scores like yours, it’s a wonder if you can even graduate. You might as well quit school and save that money..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiming was stunned.

Zhou Mei seized the moment of his pause and brought the broom down on Lin Zhiming’s behind.

Twhack, twhack, two quick strikes.

"Ow!!" Lin Zhiming yelped from the hit.

Not minding the pain from the strikes, he focused on Zhou Mei’s words about dropping out of school, "Mom, are you serious?"

Zhou Mei thought she’d hit a sore spot seeing his odd reaction, her expression brightening.

"Yes, I won’t let you study anymore."

Tears streamed down Lin Zhiming’s face.

He looked genuinely upset.

As if not being able to continue school was the most tragic thing for him.

Just as Zhou Mei was about to burst into laughter, Lin Zhiming looked at her with a face full of gratitude, "Mom, then let’s save the money!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll work hard to earn work points to support you and Dad. I might be young, but I can probably earn six work points a day. I won’t be eating for free at home anymore..."

Zhou Mei: "?! Thank you for not freeloading."

Realizing that her words about not letting him continue school had played right into Lin Zhiming’s hands, Zhou Mei was ready to collapse with frustration.

"Lin Zhiming, you still talking, you good-for-nothing? If you don’t study, what kind of future can you have? Can’t you show some ambition? Look at your brother Zhicheng, top of his class and got into high school. At least finish middle school..."

Lin Zhiming knew exactly what to focus on and said, "If I finish middle school, then I don’t have to study any further, right? Okay, then I’ll just study until I graduate from middle school."

Zhou Mei scolded him, but the kid didn’t even blush; he still knew how to fight for his own interests.

Zhou Mei was at her wit’s end with this brat and, thinking about his abysmal academic performance, she closed her eyes in despair.

"Fine, just finish middle school."

Lin Zhiming jumped up happily, "Then it’s settled."

The aversion to school was alarmingly severe.

Zhou Mei twitched her mouth, tossed the broom away, and cursed, "How can you be so stupid."

Lin Zhiming muttered softly, "They say a son is like his mother; maybe I’m not smart because I take after you..."

His voice was too low for Zhou Mei to hear, but she sensed the kid was making unflattering remarks and glared at him, "What did you say?"

"...didn’t say much," replied Lin Zhiming honestly.

After the farce ended, the Lin Family entered the courtyard.

Seeing Gu Mujing and Gu Mulin, Lin Zhicheng dashed out from under the eaves, his face full of joy, "Little Aunt, Little Uncle, Ajing, Alin, you’re back."

The two adorable children of the Gu Family politely greeted everyone.

Zhou Mei said with endearment, "Ah, everyone’s back. You all sit down first; I’ll go get some water."

Without waiting for a response, she turned and headed for the kitchen.

Lin Tang, noticing her parents were not home, asked Lin Zhicheng, "Where are grandma and grandpa?"

"They’ve gone to help out at Aunt Honghua’s second grandson’s full-month celebration," he explained.

"Really?" Lin Tang genuinely didn’t know.

"Grandma and grandpa said Little Aunt was busy, so they didn’t specifically tell you," Lin Zhicheng explained.

Several years had passed, and the young boys in the Lin Family had all grown significantly taller.

With the Lin Family’s good nutrition, Lin Zhicheng and Lin Zhiming were both over one meter seventy.

Lin Zhixuan, being a bit younger by two years, was also over one meter sixty.

Lin Fei had also grown into a pretty young lady.

Lin Zhicheng was especially fond of Gu Mujing and Gu Mulin.

Lin Fei squatted in front of the two little cuties, gently touching their round cheeks, "Ajing and Alin are finally back. Did you miss your sister Fei?"

Gu Mulin, who was ever so articulate, immediately said, "Yes, we missed you, every single day."

The three teenagers, including Lin Zhicheng, pressed, "What about us?"

"Missed you all," Gu Mulin answered evenly.

Compared to the sweet-talking Gu Mulin, Lin Zhicheng preferred to tease the more composed and mature-beyond-his-years Gu Mujing.

He picked up Gu Mujing, playing with the little guy, "What about Ajing?"

Gu Mujing’s little face flushed with embarrassment, as if he found it difficult to speak, his milky teeth clenched on his peachy red lips, stubbornly silent.

Seeing Zhicheng finding mischief again, Lin Tang wanted to pat his head but found she could no longer reach.

Planning to settle for a pat on his arm instead, Lin Zhicheng put down Gu Mujing and slightly crouched to let his Little Aunt pat his head.

Lin Tang’s lips curved up, and following the gesture, she patted his head, saying, "You’re supposed to be a big brother; stop teasing Ajing."

Lin Zhicheng chuckled, "Who told Ajing to be so deadly serious? Hehehe, okay, I’ll stop teasing him."

As he finished speaking, Gu Mujing let out a little sigh of relief.

Keeping up with adults was too difficult!

Lin Tang and the others deepened their smiles at his adorable demeanor.

A child pretending to be an adult with such earnestness was too cute!

Gu Mulin, not at all shy, grabbed Lin Zhicheng’s waistband, batting his long eyelashes, "Big brother, shall we go to the mountain to find Qiuqiu?"

As he spoke, his face looked innocent, but the flash of cunning that crossed his eyes revealed he wasn’t as harmless as he appeared.

Gu Mujing glanced at his brother tugging at his hand, his lips curled, showing a few of his baby teeth.

Alin was trying to distract Brother Zhicheng for him.

Lin Zhicheng’s expression tensed.

Absolutely not!

The internal wail inside his mind went completely ignored by Gu Mulin, who continued tilting his head, "Please, let’s go, Big Brother. You’re the best. If you take me and brother up the mountain to play, we’ll like you even more."

Lin Zhicheng smiled wryly, "Apart from going up the mountain, I can agree to anything else you ask. It’s dangerous up there. If something were to happen to you again, your grandparents would break my legs. Let’s go somewhere else, okay?"

Last time he was overconfident and took the two little ones just to the foot of the mountain, but who would have expected that a wild boar would appear on the normally safe path.
