Chapter 222 Discipline the Mother in the Living Room
To appease his cousin who had been beaten up again and lost her life of luxury, Lin Mo, the younger cousin, generously treated her to a meal.

He had no choice but to treat her. His cousin's resentment was enough to feed ten evil sword immortals. It was only because it was the end of the Dharma era that he was able to do this. If it were the time of spiritual energy revival, his cousin would definitely be emitting black smoke right now.

There's no way around it; this kind of physiological aversion has nothing to do with money. If you don't like something, you just don't like it. Even if you let her live in a villa every day and drive a luxury car, she still won't be happy. It's within the realm of normal people.

It was precisely because of the contrast with his cousin Su He that Lin Mo became even more envious of those young women who were very beautiful but could marry men who were extremely ugly, very old, but very rich.

These people are truly ruthless; they can be so ruthless to themselves. Even if they don't get married, they would definitely be extraordinary people if they focused on building their careers.

After dinner, Su He drove him to the entrance of the residential area.

"So, cousin, why don't you come over to my place for a while?" Lin Mo invited.

Cousin Su He waved her hand upon hearing this: "Forget it, let's do it another day. I still have to go back and explain to your aunt. Sigh, my house is going to be lively again tonight."

No, I need to have a serious talk with her. If she introduces me to any more unattractive men, I'm not staying home anymore; I'm going straight back to Jiangning!

After saying that, her cousin Su He stepped on the gas and drove off. Watching the taillights of the departing car, Lin Mo shook his head. Fortunately, he was still young and hadn't reached the point where he would be pressured to get married, otherwise he would probably be the one who felt bad.

He then turned and entered the residential area. His newly purchased car was parked in an empty space downstairs. Just as Lin Mo was about to go upstairs, the car lights suddenly turned on, and the car window rolled down. His mother, Zhou Min's voice came from inside the car: "Son's back!"

Lin Mo was startled by the sudden appearance of the car lights: "Wait, Mom, what are you doing in the car? Aren't you hot?"

He was certain the car hadn't started and was off. In the sweltering summer heat, the temperature inside the car must have been unimaginable. Even now that the sun had set, it was still stuffy. He couldn't understand what his mother was doing in the car.

"I'm just a little excited about the new car. I drove it around for a bit, and I saw you coming back before I even got upstairs," Mom Zhou Min said with a smile as she opened the car door.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo did not expose his mother's little scheme. After all, for an ordinary family, buying a new car is indeed something to celebrate, especially for his mother, who never thought that one day she would have a new car of her own.

"Alright, it's not too late to be curious about it tomorrow. Let's go upstairs first. You don't even turn on the air conditioning in the car. Aren't you feeling stuffy?" Lin Mo said with a smile.

Zhou Min reluctantly closed the car door, then pressed the lock button on the car key before coming over and saying, "Running the air conditioner wastes a lot of fuel. Besides, I heard that idling for a long time will cause carbon buildup, which is bad for the car."

Lin Mo:
It has to be said that everyone takes extra care of new phones and new cars.

Soon, the mother and son went upstairs. It was just the two of them at home. Comrade Lin didn't get off work until midnight, so he wouldn't get home until late at night.

"Son, who did you have dinner with just now?" Zhou Hui, the mother, asked from the living room.

Lin Mo took a sip of water: "My cousin went on a blind date today, but it didn't seem to go very well!"

He didn't mention that his cousin had been beaten up, afraid of upsetting his mother again. He thought that he had finally managed to appease her, but instead of buying the car, he would end up getting beaten up again!

"Xiaohe, she's already on a blind date? Who introduced her?" Zhou Min, the mother, asked in surprise.

Lin Mo: "Who else could it be? My aunt went to work at a matchmaking agency!"

"Look at my memory, I almost forgot about this. So, your aunt has her eye on Xiaohe, but your sister doesn't like her?" Mom slapped her forehead and said.

After all, they're sisters, and live in the same county; they knew this much. "Of course, my cousin and I spent ages complaining about it over dinner."

Lin Mo then briefly recounted the two blind dates his cousin Su He had been on over the past two days. After listening, his mother frowned.

"Your aunt is getting anxious, but even if she is, she can't just date anyone. Girls don't need to look for someone too handsome, but they can't just look at the conditions. I'll talk to her sometime. Xiaohe is good-looking, has a good job, and is well-educated. What's the rush?" Clearly, the mother, as a rational and objective person, started to speak up for her niece from the perspective of an outsider.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Mom, I'm a senior in college now. Haven't you thought about introducing me to someone so I can get married soon?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

Hearing this, his mother, Zhou Min, frowned, glanced at him, and spat, "How old are you? Why are you going on blind dates at such a young age? Wait until you graduate and have a stable job before you start dating."

You're in university now, so dating is fine. If you're capable, go for it; your mom won't object if you get married after graduation. But if you're not, and can't find a partner, then you should probably spend more time getting to know yourself!

Whether it was because he was young or his mother had never considered her son's marriage, Zhou Min didn't seem to care about it or be in a hurry.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately objected: "Mom, how old am I this year? I'm still single! I'm 21 years old (actual age), 22 (traditional age), 23 (half), and 25 (older age). I feel like I'm getting old. I can't sleep soundly at night, and I'm always drowsy when I study. I've lived to this point, and I don't want to be single anymore."

As my own mother, how can you sit still, eat, and sleep?

All they do all day is ask me about my studies, my future job plans, and whether I can be more concerned about my son's relationship status.

You said I've earned so much money, but I don't have a wife or even a child. Who am I going to spend it on? If I get old and live in a nursing home, I'll be bullied. I'm already in such a miserable state, Mom, are you just going to stand by and watch? Don't you even care about me as your son?!

Mom Zhou Min: ? ? ?
"No, wait a minute, these are all my words. And why are you blaming me for not being able to find a partner? I'm your mother, do you think I'd find you a partner for you?"

"Why don't you learn from my aunt? Those who are willing don't need to be taught, and those who are not willing can't be taught. What I want is an attitude. Besides, my school has already agreed to let me join the Party, and I've already submitted my application. The person standing in front of you now is a prospective Party member. Please pay attention to your attitude, Comrade Zhou Min."

Do you think you're finding me a partner? Do you think you're just finding a partner for your son? You're contributing to the organization; your current slacking off is a serious act of irresponsibility towards your comrades.

Lin Mo seemed to have found a breakthrough, and the more she spoke, the smoother and more excited she became, as if she were truly feeling wronged, putting on a kind of "living room scolding" in her own home.

When Zhou Min, the mother, heard this, she was stunned and couldn't quite process what she was hearing.

Is this normal? Shouldn't it be the mother relentlessly pressuring the son to get married, while the son strongly opposes it?
Why is it that when it comes to me, all the pressure is suddenly on her?
"So, I've made up my mind. Mom, you're not even fifty yet, you're at the age where you should be taking risks. Tomorrow, go see my aunt and do a part-time job after school or get off work. Firstly, it will help me find a husband, and secondly, it will add some income to the family."

Look at my aunt. My cousin had a seven-day holiday, and my aunt arranged seven blind dates for her. Whether it works out or not, at least she showed some interest.

"And me? I've been wasting my days at home during the holidays, eating and waiting to die. I'm so lonely! This is settled!" Lin Mo waved his hand and arranged a part-time job for her mother.

Anyway, I'll just pack up and leave in a few days. What can happen then? Is his mother going to arrange for him to meet someone in Jiangning?

Just as Lin Mo was praising himself for his cleverness, his mother Zhou Hui finally realized what was happening and grabbed a clothes hanger to hit him.

"Hey, you're lecturing your mother now? I'll beat you to death!"

Lin Mo:
