Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Tonight's meal, everyone ate in a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

During the feast, Niu Chunsheng saw Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia sitting together, and his eyes revealed an envy he couldn't hide.

He couldn't help but half-jokingly exclaim:

"Brother Zhongxian, your daughter really made her move fast, accurate, and ruthless. If it had been a few years later, I was even planning to have my daughter try to get together with Xiaohua!"

Li Zhongxian laughed heartily:

"Brother Chunsheng, you can't blame me for this. Those two are in a free relationship; I didn't meddle in young people's romance!"

Niu Linxin spoke up at this moment:

"Dad, what era is this? Arranged marriages aren't the thing anymore!"

The meaning of her words was very obvious — she would rather be beaten to death than be with a short man.

Her requirements for a partner were very strict, and what she absolutely could not accept was a partner who was short and ugly!

Poor can become rich through effort; ugly can potentially become beautiful through plastic surgery; but being short is a fact that can never be changed in a lifetime. Even with more ability, more talent, more money, it's impossible to make one's height grow ten centimeters.

"Dad drank too much, just saying it casually. Don't have such a big reaction."

Niu Chunsheng laughed it off.

Still smiling, he said to Li Zhongxian:

"My daughter, everything about her is good, just too stubborn. Spoiled rotten by her mom since childhood!"

Wang Xiaohua didn't want them to continue chatting on this topic. Listening to this topic, both he and Li Jianjia felt quite embarrassed.

So he hurriedly changed the subject:

"Uncle Chunsheng, speaking of which, didn't Linxin take the high school entrance exam this year?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Chunsheng immediately waved his hand and sighed:

"Sigh, don't mention it, don't mention it!"

Seeing this, Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but be stunned.

It was very obvious that Niu Linxin must have botched the high school entrance exam.

Sure enough, at this moment, Niu Chunsheng continued:

"Last summer vacation, didn't I have you, Xiaohua, tutor our Linxin, and also Linxin's classmate Wang Xiaoqian, on their homework? Guess what happened?"

Speaking to this point, Niu Chunsheng shook his head and sighed again.

Li Zhongxian and Zhao Xintong both wore puzzled expressions, listening patiently.

Wang Xiaohua, however, had long since had the answer in his heart.

Especially when he saw Niu Linxin lower her head, wearing a guilty expression.

Niu Chunsheng continued:

"As a result, that Wang Xiaoqian, when summer vacation ended and she entered the third year of junior high, her grades improved by leaps and bounds. But our Linxin, her grades stayed stuck in place. The high school entrance exam results just came out recently. That Wang Xiaoqian's score not only guarantees she can get into high school, but she even has a chance to test into the top class. As for our Linxin? She's 8 points short of the admission score line. Her mom and I are worried sick over this! Lately we've been pulling strings everywhere, seeing if we can get her placed into a high school. If it really doesn't work, I'm afraid she'll only be able to attend a vocational high school."

Niu Linxin's face showed displeasure, and she said:

"Dad, why are you saying these things? Vocational high school is fine, what's wrong with vocational high school?"

Niu Chunsheng couldn't help but say:

"What do you know? Is vocational high school a place for people to go?"

Niu Linxin, however, wore an indifferent expression, and even laughed:

"If you're not at ease with me going to vocational high school, then go to the city and help me find a better private high school!"

Niu Chunsheng stopped speaking.

His daughter was too clever, her heart was clear as a mirror. She had long since anticipated that Niu Chunsheng would never let her go to vocational high school, so that was why she was so fearless.

Niu Linxin also said this:

"I heard private high schools in big cities have conditions far better than our small county town's public high schools!"

Niu Chunsheng, however, said:

"A year's tuition at a big city private high school costs over a hundred thousand. Do you think your dad's money is blown in by the wind?"

Niu Linxin, however, said:

"Dad, you're not short of that hundred thousand!"

Niu Chunsheng got a bit angry:

"I see you really have zero concept of money. You really think hundreds of thousands are easy to earn! Your Uncle Zhongxian, he's now a minor leader in the county town establishment. In a year, his take-home salary is estimated at just over a hundred thousand!"

Niu Linxin, however, said:

"I don't believe it! If Uncle Zhongxian's salary is really that low, how can he live in such a big house and drive such a good car? Could it be his money is all from corruption?"

As the saying goes, children's words hold no taboo.

The moment Niu Linxin said this, Li Zhongxian's face immediately couldn't hold.

Lin Xiaofang hurriedly persuaded:

"Alright alright, say a few words less."

Then she hurriedly apologized to Li Zhongxian:

"Mr. Li, really sorry. My daughter is just like this, no sense of propriety!"

Li Zhongxian dry-laughed:

"It's fine, it's fine, they're kids, they're all like this."

Niu Chunsheng asked Wang Xiaohua at this time:

"Xiaohua, my daughter is like this now, do you have any good suggestions to help her plan her academic path?"

Wang Xiaohua thought for a moment, then said:

"Little Sister Lin Xin is still 8 points short of the regular high school admission score line; that's actually not a big gap. Pull some strings, spend money to buy points, and she should still be able to get into the County High School. But to tell the truth, with Lin Xin's personality, studying normally and taking the college entrance exam normally, she'll likely find it hard to get good grades; her heart can't settle down."

Niu Chunsheng nodded busily:

"Indeed, the way she is, even if she gets into high school, she'll be a straggler."

Lin Xiaofang spoke at this time:

"If she can't get into university, then she can't. As long as she can peacefully finish high school, and doesn't fall in love early or get pregnant early at such a young age, that's already very good."

As a mother, she had worn her heart out for Niu Linxin.

In the past she had high hopes for Niu Linxin, but as Niu Linxin grew older, her hopes for her also became smaller and smaller.

She and Niu Chunsheng had even already started considering having another one once Niu Linxin got into high school.

The main character is ruined, so they can only train a new alt.

For Niu Linxin, though cruel, this is also reality.

Wang Xiaohua spoke at this time:

"Aunt Xiaofang, I only said it's hard for Lin Xin to get into university via the normal route; I didn't say she has no chance. I see Lin Xin has good physical conditions, and her personality is good, and her EQ is high. If she takes the art exam route, she should have a decent chance of getting into a pretty good university."

Niu Chunsheng, however, expressed hesitation:

"She just purely loves to play; what artistic talent does she have? Can this path really work?"

Niu Linxin, spoken of like this by her own dad, became somewhat unhappy:

"Dad, don't look down on me. I sing very well. I even represented the class on stage at the New Year's Day gala! If you ask me, if you let me study music, I'll definitely learn it well!"

Niu Chunsheng, however, said:

"People who study music all start learning from childhood — dancing at three, piano at four. What can you do? Sigh, but it's not your fault. When you were little, there was a period when we let you learn piano, but you didn't persist. I should have forced you to continue back then, instead of letting you quit whenever you didn't want to learn anymore."

Lin Xiaofang spoke at this time:

"Alright, alright, why say these things? Since our daughter wants to study music, we'll just pull some strings and let her go study in the County High School's music specialty class. Whether she can learn well is her own business; as long as she can get a high school diploma, that's enough."

Hearing this, Niu Linxin's face beamed with joy:

"Mom, you're still the one who dotes on me. I love you to death, my dear mom!"

But Niu Linxin didn't know that Lin Xiaofang had already started preparing for pregnancy to train a new alt.
