Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 767 - 14: It’s Important to be Well-Matched in Social and Economic Status

Liu Pangxie is a straightforward kid, and the only thing on his mind is passing on the family lineage.

He isn’t picky when it comes to finding a wife; as long as she’s passable in looks, that’s fine. If not, he’ll make do.

He doesn’t even care about the woman’s opinion. For the Sea People, taking a wife is done forcibly, with no ethics or morals to speak of.

The sole reason he hasn’t been dragged to the police station to munch on peanuts is because he hasn’t fought with Wang Yunxiao since the first day of school.

In the tradition of the Sea People, although wives are taken by force, one cannot just take anyone. They are distributed by the chief of the tribe, and only after the chief has had his fill can the most outstanding warriors in the tribe have their turn.

The feeble members of the tribe don’t have any rights to mate whatsoever.

Unless Wang Yunxiao gives in, Liu Pangxie can only watch and doesn’t dare to make a move.

But this time it’s different.

The fact that he can utter "twenty percent" means he’s actually thought this through.

"Old Yang told me, Miss Yang is of noble status, and I’m not worthy of her," Liu Pangxie said.

The ’Old Yang’ Liu Pangxie mentioned is Yang Tianyu.

Even Yang Tianyu says she’s of noble status, there’s no doubt that she is of the Direct Line of the Yang Family.

And what is Liu Pangxie?

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of those rich and distinguished families, the only thing that probably distinguishes him from a real crab is his human appearance.

He’s got nothing, just a sorry life.

That’s why Wang Yunxiao is very curious: "How did you calculate this twenty percent?"

Liu Pangxie grinned sheepishly: "When I was getting my dressing changed at the hospital, she greeted me. I complimented her on her beauty, and she was very happy. She said if I can talk the talk, I should speak more. So I told her she’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen, and that I want to marry her."

"... Have you said these words to many women?"

"Yes, but the other girls all avoided me, only she didn’t get angry and even encouraged me. She said if I strive to make progress and perform well in the future, I might actually have a chance to pursue her."

"Is there a chance she was just being polite to you?"

"Other women have never been that polite to me!"

Liu Pangxie has his own unique way of thinking: "Since she said that, at the very least, she doesn’t despise me, right? She couldn’t possibly say that to every man she meets, could she?"

Uh... I suddenly don’t know how to refute you.

Wang Yunxiao tried to suggest: "My advice is to stay calm and focus on your studies. What’s the difference between you and her? Isn’t it that she comes from a noble family while you’re poor now? Once you graduate and find a decent job, at least able to provide for a family, even if it can’t bridge the gap between you two, at least it could narrow it, right?"

Liu Pangxie said aggrievedly: "What if she gets married before that time comes?"

"Even if she gets married, you could still consider her future daughter, couldn’t you?"

"Makes sense!"

Liu Pangxie, simple-minded, got blissfully persuaded by Wang Yunxiao and lost all sense of direction.

As for Yang Youxuan, Wang Yunxiao didn’t have the nerve to inquire, finding it too awkward to broach the subject.

However, to his surprise, he soon encountered a similar predicament himself.

One day, when Wang Yunxiao went to King Mu’s Mansion to settle his wages, after receiving his pay, Boss Mu casually asked: "Where’s Mumu? I haven’t seen her around recently. Is she still at school?"

She’s in seclusion, cultivating.

Wang Yunxiao hesitated and chose his words carefully: "The weather’s been too cold recently; she doesn’t really like going out."

"Doesn’t like going out? Her? Afraid of the cold?"

Boss Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, casting a skeptical look at Wang Yunxiao.

"Is the heating in the old teaching building at your school not very good?"

"It’s not great, I specifically made a heated brick bed for her, and now she practically never leaves it."

"Pregnant?"

"Pregnant what?"

Wang Yunxiao didn’t catch on at first, but when he did, he noticed Mu Yuming’s expression had become sharp.

So you think I got your daughter pregnant, and she’s too ashamed to show her face, is that it?

"No, no, what are you thinking? Nobody would dare lay a finger on Li Mumu at school!"

"Yuanxiao, I trust your character, otherwise I wouldn’t let you manage the construction site."

Mu Yuming adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and said earnestly: "I know you have designs on Mumu, which is normal. A beauty is bound to attract suitors. But Mumu is still young, and as a father, I don’t want to see anything inappropriate between you two. You understand, don’t you?"

"I completely understand, uncle, you’re absolutely right!"

Wang Yunxiao nodded vigorously.

"Also, have you considered your plans after graduation?"

What graduation?

Oh right, this semester is almost over. According to the lunar calendar, the school will have holidays in mid-November.

Then next spring, after studying for another half a term, it will be time for middle school graduation.

"After graduation, I plan to continue with high school."

Wang Yunxiao answered truthfully.

In this era, at this age, normal students would be expected to enter society after middle school graduation.

A literate middle school graduate could already find a good job, and girls would also need to think about the major life event of marriage.

But in Wang Yunxiao’s view, why wouldn’t I continue my studies if I have the chance?

Work is work, school is school. If I can bum around in school for a couple more years, why bother working and wasting time.

Besides, it’s currently a seller’s market with a supply and demand imbalance, it’s the police department that needs to set up the Special Service Section, not that they have to earn the wages of the Special Service Section. Isn’t it just as blissful working for Boss Mu?

Wang Yunxiao was not worried about job prospects.

I want to go to college after finishing high school, if I can get in. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Going to high school is good, and I don’t plan on letting Mumu marry so early either. We can consider that after you both have graduated from high school," Mu Yuming said, casually casting the bait three years into the future.

"Also, try to persuade her to come home and live. She can’t just stay away when the school holidays come, right? I know she and her mother have their differences, but it’s not ideal for her to always live outside. The conditions at home are, after all, better."

Can I control her? She’s the type who, when she loses her temper, could play a mean scissor leg takedown on me!

Wang Yunxiao really wanted to say he couldn’t manage it, but upon seeing the meaningful look in Mu Yuming’s eyes, he swallowed his words.

If you can’t manage, then Boss Mu will naturally find someone who can.

"I’ll do my best."

"There’s one more thing, if any shady characters come knocking soon, just deal with them directly, don’t let them harass Mumu."

"These shady characters are...?"

"They might claim to be from King Mu’s Mansion, but nowadays King Mu’s Mansion is not what it used to be, there’s no need to worry about their feelings."

Mu Yuming lamented: "It’s just as the saying goes, no one cares about the poor in a bustling city, while the rich in the remote mountains have distant relatives. Now that this new campus is nearly completed, there will always be some people of no significance who can’t help themselves and come over to pick the peaches."
