Called a Failure at the Family Gathering, I Turned the Tables with Just One Line

As graduation neared, I got a job offer from a big company in Akso City. The salary was $70,000 a year and my parents were thrilled.

I knew how my relatives were, so I kept telling them not to tell anyone. They agreed right away. But at a dinner party, my aunt, who always looked down on my family, purposely asked about my plans after graduation.

My father couldn’t hold back and told her. Right away, the relatives started criticizing me, their faces filled with disdain.

“Why didn’t you take the civil service exam or go for a master’s degree?”
