Chapter 438 A Passerby in a Time-Travel Novel (18)

"Is that so?"

"That's right. Your dad and I thought the teacher was bullying you. It took your dad a long time to find out what happened. Your dad and I almost died laughing at the time."

Jiang Yue was speechless; she had no memory of this incident at all. Then, Jiang's mother recounted many embarrassing stories from Jiang Yue's childhood. Some of these stories were also remembered by the four elders, who nodded in agreement.

"But you two sisters have one advantage over others: you've had a great relationship since you were little, unlike other twins who often fight when they're young but only become close as they grow up."

"When I'm scrolling through short videos, I see those families with twins who insist on buying two of everything, like if one twin pets a dog, the other twin has to pet it too when knocking on someone's door. That kind of thing doesn't happen."

"On the contrary, you two sisters don't really like to wear the same clothes. You two like to swap clothes. I'm fine, but your dad was quite busy when he was young. If he didn't come home for a few days, he couldn't tell you two apart."

"Oh right! And what grade was that again? You even had your sister take the test for you, and she did so well that the teacher found out and called your parents in, do you remember?"

"I remember that. When they asked me to call my parents, I called my grandma."

"It was me! I thought you were being naughty again, but it turned out to be something serious. So I called your mom, and because of this, you didn't talk to me for several days and even called me a traitor."

"It seems I was quite naughty when I was little. I thought I was pretty well-behaved."

“What do you mean by ‘good’? You’re doing well. Your sister always gets into trouble quietly. Taking care of the two of you is more tiring than taking care of three or four children. Without your grandma and the others’ help, I would be driven crazy. I can only rest when I send you back to our hometown during the winter and summer vacations. I’m happier than you are during your holidays.”

The family reminisced about the trouble Jiang Yue caused when she was a child. Jiang's father said he had something to say, as he was always the one who got hurt the most. After comforting his wife and daughter, he would sometimes have to take the blame along with the two sisters.

During dinner, Jiang's mother made braised diced vegetables, and Jiang Yue ate two large bowls of it. Grandma said that her appetite had increased a lot. Before, she had a small appetite and would eat a little bit of everything, but now she has become a big eater.

That's right. If Jiang Yue hadn't insisted on exercising every morning, she would have been incredibly fat by now, given her current appetite. But Jiang Yue wasn't worried at all; if things got really bad, she could just take pills.

Speaking of taking drugs, Jiang Yue put a pill in the water when she poured water for her grandmother and the others. She said that while it might not prolong their lives, it would gradually make their old ailments disappear and improve their quality of life in their later years. She said that everyone else had already taken the pills, but she hadn't had a chance to give them any since she hadn't been back to her hometown recently.

Jiang Yue had prepared quite a lot of these low-grade pills. It wouldn't be a problem to use ten or eight pills per world. With this kind of usage, she would never run out. If it weren't for the fact that the female lead's side was strengthened by God, she would have wanted to give one to Xiao Qiushui. These days, it's not easy to meet someone she admires.

After dinner, Jiang's mother and Jiang Yue went out for a while. Jiang's mother had finished the pickled vegetables she had made at home, so she went to the market to buy some more. When they went out, they ran into the neighbors. Seeing Jiang Yue hugging and kissing her mother's arm affectionately, they stopped cricketing. This was quite different from when Jiang Yue had just graduated and hadn't earned any money yet. The gossip made Jiang's mother so angry that she wanted to hit Jiang Yue.

After shopping and returning home, Jiang Yue started pickling some vegetables. Some of the pickled vegetables needed to be put in the refrigerator. After putting everything in, Jiang Yue looked at the fully stocked refrigerator and turned to her mother, saying, "Mom, do we need to get a bigger refrigerator? This one's quite old, isn't it?"

"It's been quite a few years. It seems like it was bought when you two sisters were in high school. Back then, you weren't very tall, and your mom subscribed to milk for you. The small refrigerator at home wasn't big enough, so we replaced it with this one. It's been six or seven years now."

“Sigh, my family used to be quite wealthy, but I just never felt like I was a rich kid.”

"This isn't even the beginning. What college student has seven or eight thousand yuan a month for living expenses? Plus, they spend an average of twenty thousand yuan a month on clothes. What else could they be but a rich second generation?"

"You still have something to say? I told your mom that I was giving you too much, but she said that people in college are very materialistic these days, and she was afraid that if she gave you too little, you would be scammed. Luckily, shop rents have gone up a lot in recent years, otherwise we wouldn't be able to support you."

"Wow, I really know how to spend money. Twenty thousand a month, that's almost a million for four years of college. Who would be so kind as to spend that much money on college? If I could save that money, I wouldn't need to go to college at all."

"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. There's no way there's that much. It's probably around 500,000."

"Hmph, it's almost a million, don't think I don't know. You still have to give them subsidies every month. Haven't your parents ever given you any? I was just too lazy to say it, I thought you didn't know."

"Alright, alright, we can spend money now and we can earn it now, right? We were talking about the refrigerator, what are we talking about? Besides, isn't raising children a basic responsibility? We only have these two precious children, so no matter how much money we earn, it will all go to them in the end."

"Mom, you're just spoiling her!"

"Hmph, Da Mian'ao, you should buy a new refrigerator tomorrow. Don't listen to your mother saying she doesn't need it. This morning, I was making breakfast and it took me forever to find something. Your mother is just sentimental. The longer she uses something, the less she wants to replace it, unless it becomes unusable."

"I'll listen to you, Mom. I've already made my selections. I'll place the order today and they can come and install it tomorrow."

"You guys just spoil her. You bought a new refrigerator, but where are you going to put this perfectly good refrigerator? There's only so much space in the house."

"Mom, leave the old refrigerator with me. I'll put some fruit in it and stuff. You don't need to make a special trip to deliver it to me."

"How about we put the new refrigerator with you?"

"She can't cook, so why are you leaving her with the child? It's just nonsense!"

After Jiang's mother was suppressed, Jiang Yue rolled her eyes at her. Perhaps because she had been poor in her early years, or perhaps because Jiang's mother wanted to save money for the two sisters, the family was usually quite frugal. It could be said that the two sisters spent all the money, and Jiang's parents were reluctant to spend it.

Now that Jiang Yue can earn money, she needs to find a way to change her parents' mindset and make their lives better. Jiang Yue has earned a lot of money from live streaming, and she has also made some investments. Even though it has only been a few months, her savings are almost a small fortune.

After buying the refrigerator, Jiang's mother didn't say anything. After looking at the refrigerator, she worried that it wouldn't fit. Jiang Yue told her not to worry: "Mom, don't worry, my glasses are the perfect fit!"

After saying that, Jiang Yue checked the time and, seeing that it was almost time, ran upstairs to prepare for the live stream. She changed into some comfortable clothes after returning upstairs. From the beginning of her live streams, she never dressed up properly; she always wore whatever was comfortable.
