I'm back in 1990

Chapter 979: Recruiting a Live-in Son-in-Law

Liu Jin was quite honest, replying directly, "No!"

Huang Xiaochuan nodded and praised, "Not bad, you've managed to find your place."

He then asked, "Since you know there's a high chance you won't get into high school, have you thought about what your next step should be?"

This problem is still a bit difficult for Liu Jin. This girl's intelligence comes from her mother. I don't know what kind of luck her mother, Zeng Xia, had to get into a vocational school back then. It's a pity that she didn't pass on that luck to her daughter.

In the end, Liu Jin shook his head with a confused look, indicating that he didn't know.

Huang Xiaochuan wasn't surprised at all by his niece's reaction. Growing up in a privileged family environment, she had no expectations for the future. She was spoiled rotten. The key issue was that her parents were a pair of parents who either doted on her or let her do whatever she wanted, which was the main reason why she turned out the way she was.

Huang Xiaochuan was also very troubled. In fact, he wanted to take the child with him and educate him personally, but that was not realistic. First, his aunt and uncle would not agree, and second, he couldn't do that on his own side. It would be fine if it were a small family.

However, since he has a family business here, if he does this, it will inevitably cause a lot of people to have objections. His elderly father and mother will be the first to jump out and oppose it.

In their view, this would create significant uncertainty regarding the future inheritance of their grandson, Huang Zeji's, property.

So Huang Xiaochuan is in a difficult position too!

He could only patiently explain to Liu Jin, "Do you know why you need to study?"

Upon hearing this question, Liu Jin immediately replied, "Study for the rise of China."

Huang Xiaochuan almost choked. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"This one, this one"

After arguing for a while, he finally said, "Forget about it. China's rise doesn't depend on you."

He then got down to business: "It's like when you were a kid learning to ride a bicycle. At first, you think it's fun, but later you discover that it can take you to farther places and let you see more things. Learning is like that bicycle. Once you've learned how, you'll find that you can see more things and solve more problems."

Liu Jin nodded as if he understood, but seeing this, Huang Xiaochuan sighed and slumped back in his seat.

After delivering Liu Jin home, Huang Xiaochuan asked him to go upstairs.

"Liu Jin, go back to your room."

Liu Jin glanced at her mother Zeng Xia, whose face was dark, and her father Huo Miao, who looked helpless, and went upstairs without saying a word. She wasn't stupid.

Only after Liu Jin's figure was out of sight did Huang Xiaochuan begin to scold him.

The first one is naturally Huo Miao.

"Brother-in-law, you can't always be the nice guy. Let me tell you, you're half responsible for Liu Jin's current state."

Zeng Xia chimed in, adding fuel to the fire: "That's right, I'm not the only one saying that!"

Huo Miao chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head sheepishly.

Huang Xiaochuan glared at Zeng Xia angrily: "And you, the other half of the responsibility lies with you."

Zeng Xia immediately cried out in protest, "I'm the one who manages this household the most!"

Huang Xiaochuan said bluntly, "With your inconsistent attitude, it's no wonder you can't manage things well."

That said, we still need to think of a solution.

After scolding his second sister and brother-in-law, Huang Xiaochuan still offered an idea.

"I feel that we can't educate Liujin in the same way as others. How about this, we can keep her school registration, let her not take the high school entrance exam this year, and find some experienced teachers to give her one-on-one lessons. The place will be in the Pudong Public Library, where there are ready-made small reading rooms, which will be just right as classrooms for her. Moreover, the library has all kinds of books, which will give her more opportunities to read."

Zeng Xia and Huo Miao exchanged glances, naturally more than happy to agree. In their view, their younger brother, Huang Xiaochuan, was a renowned university professor and would certainly have more experience in educating children than they did.

However, Zeng Xia still raised a question: "What about her going online?"

Huang Xiaochuan also had a solution to this problem. He was now one of the shareholders of a top domestic online game company. He could just talk to An Cheng about it. Besides, An Cheng was the agent for World of Warcraft, so other game companies would definitely give him face. In that case, this girl wouldn't be able to get into any games, and all the domestic game companies would blacklist her.

"I'll take care of her internet use; you just need to cooperate with me."

Of course they'd cooperate! The couple nodded vigorously.

The matter of Liu Jin was settled. Huang Xiaochuan checked the time; it was almost eight o'clock. He got up and prepared to leave.

Huo Miao quickly tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Why don't you have dinner before you go back?"

"Yes, little brother, eat before you go." Zeng Xia certainly wouldn't let her younger brother go back hungry.

Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand: "Never mind, I'm not hungry, I'm leaving!"

Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand: "Never mind, I'm not hungry, I'm leaving!"

He stopped in his tracks just as he reached the doorway.

"By the way, you guys should go and process the paperwork to retain her student status tomorrow. Do you know who to contact?"

Huo Miao quickly replied, "I know, I know, don't worry about that!"

Huang Xiaochuan then left with peace of mind.

When he got home, Yu Xiang and his two children had already eaten, so he asked the nanny to make him a bowl of plain noodles.

When he returned, Yu Xiang asked him, "Why are you so late? I thought you were out socializing."

Huang Xiaochuan shook his head: "Liu Jin skipped school to go online. My second sister came to me crying and sobbing. I spent the whole afternoon with her looking for him, and we finally found him in an internet cafe."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiang asked with concern, "How is Liu Jin?"

Huang Xiaochuan rubbed his temples and said, "What else can we do? She's almost fifteen, and she's over a meter tall. We can't hit her or scold her. You know, kids this age are most impulsive and rebellious. And then there are her two unreliable parents, it's just unbelievable." Huang Xiaochuan complained to his wife about his sister and brother-in-law.

Yu Xiang was also troubled. Liu Jin was good at everything else, but he just couldn't get into his studies.

"Will she even be able to finish high school?"

Huang Xiaochuan explained his plan: "She won't take the high school entrance exam this year. I've talked to my second sister and brother-in-law and asked them to keep Liujin's student status and find some experienced teachers to tutor her individually so she can take the exam next year."

What if I still fail the exam?

"You really can't pass the exam?" Huang Xiaochuan rubbed his temples.

"Then send her abroad. It'll cost some money, but it'll also let her see more of the world. Sometimes traveling thousands of miles might be more suitable for her."

At this point, Huang Xiaochuan paused for a moment, then added, "If all else fails, we can find her a more reliable man in the future, maybe even a live-in son-in-law."

Yu Xiang never expected that the man would think of this much. She felt a little amused and exasperated, but upon reflection, she realized that this was probably the only way things would work out.
