"The sun's already high and you still won't get up! The food I left for you is getting cold! You stay home all day and don't even look for a job! You've already graduated from university and you still don't have a boyfriend. I gave birth to you because God saw how comfortable I was living and came to spite me!"
As the scolding subsided, Jiang Yue pulled the blanket up and shifted to a more comfortable sleeping position. This angered her mother, who was standing at the door. She rushed into the room and ripped open the curtains, letting the sunlight shine directly onto Jiang Yue's face. She grumbled impatiently, "Mom, let me sleep a little longer."
Jiang's mother, exasperated, reached out and pulled at her blanket: "Sleep, sleep, all you do is sleep! I'm telling you, work or blind date, you have to choose one today!"
Jiang Yue sat up helplessly, her eyes half-open and her hair a mess. Actually, Jiang Yue wasn't that lazy. It was just that the original owner of this body was indeed very lazy. After graduation, she stayed home and slept every day, as if she wanted to get all the sleep she missed during her student days. She stayed up until three or four in the morning every night, and died after two months. In order not to ruin her image, Jiang Yue had to continue to maintain it. She could only change it slowly.
"OK, OK, I'll start looking for a job next week, okay?"
"No, let's start today."
"Dear Mommy, can you give me some time to work on my resume?"
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, she was about to get out of bed to eat when her mother glared at her and said, "Where's the bed? You didn't even make the blankets? How can you not be lazy to death? Tell me, who did you live with? Your father and I are not as lazy as you."
Jiang Yue bent down and ran out of the door to the bathroom, shouting as she ran, "I'll tidy up later, I'll go to the toilet first."
"All you do is eat, sleep, and poop, like a pig." Jiang's mother scolded as she tidied up her things. She cleaned the house every morning and didn't know how Jiang Yue had made such a mess.
After tidying up the house, Jiang Yue started washing up. Her mother heated up some food for her. Seeing her father packing his things to go fishing, she scolded him irritably, "You're always tidying up your junk, and you don't even take care of the kids. I'll have to throw your stuff away one day."
"Oh dear, the child has finally graduated, what's wrong with taking a break for a while? Besides, he already promised to go out and look for a job tomorrow. As for what other people are saying, why are you listening to them? Will we get any money if we listen to them?"
"I'm not just making sarcastic remarks. Besides, what kid sleeps at home all day? Even going out to play with classmates is normal. You're 23 years old, almost 30. Do you think it's normal for someone to be this lazy?"
Jiang Yue was brushing her teeth when she heard her parents arguing outside. When she heard the words "almost thirty," she almost couldn't hold back. How could a beautiful girl in her early twenties be approaching thirty? After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she looked at her appearance and realized that she was the kind of person who could make a living just by her looks. It seemed that she didn't need to work hard in this life.
After coming out of the bathroom, Jiang Yue walked straight to the dining table without looking to the side. Friends who were often beaten knew that you couldn't look at your mother at this time, otherwise that slipper would fly over. She sat down and looked at the porridge that her mother had served her, as well as the egg pancakes that the original owner loved to eat. She was scolded every day, but every meal was something that Jiang Yue loved to eat.
"Mom, the egg pancake is delicious. Thank you, Mom. You've worked so hard."
"Mom's life isn't hard, it's just that she has a hard life."
"Hehehe." Jiang Yue had only laughed a few times when she received a sharp look from her mother. After coughing, Jiang Yue said to her mother, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to look for a job. Sister Zhang said she's going back to her hometown to get married and won't be renting our small supermarket anymore, right?"
"Hmm, what's up? You want to rent it?"
"Well, Mom, what do you think? With my major, I can't find a high-paying job anywhere else. I'd only earn three or five thousand and still have to put up with bad treatment. Plus, with your daughter's stunning looks, there might be some older men trying to take advantage of me. It would be better to open a small supermarket. It's closer to home and I can spend more time with you."
"Hmph, shameless of you to call yourself a beauty that could topple kingdoms. How can you even say that?"
"Mom, we're talking about serious matters. Is that all you heard? What do you think? It doesn't matter who we rent to."
"Let's talk about it when your dad gets back."
Although Jiang's mother said this, she was already biased towards Jiang Yue in her heart. Originally, she wanted Jiang Yue to take the civil service exam so that she could have a stable future. She didn't expect her to earn a lot of money, but Jiang Yue was too lazy to take the civil service exam. Taking over the family supermarket would also be fine.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Yue washed the dishes and tidied up the kitchen. Her mother said to her, "Go out for a walk. Don't stay cooped up at home all day. You're practically moldy. And while you're at it, get your hair cut. Aren't you hot?"
"Okay, okay, Mom, I'll give you some money. I'm out of money."
Amidst her mother's repeated complaints about how quickly she spent the money, Jiang Yue accepted the five thousand gold coins her mother had given her. After changing into some clean clothes, she prepared to go out. Just as her mother had said, her hair was getting a bit long, so she decided to get a haircut. Jiang Yue had a favorite barbershop near her home, so she took the bus straight there.
Jiang Yue's good looks caused some trouble on the way. After getting off the bus, she decisively went to a roadside pharmacy to buy a mask and put it on. After walking for a while, she arrived at the hair salon. When she arrived, she found that there were quite a lot of people. She took out her phone and saw that it was the weekend. No wonder. She found a less crowded waiting area and took out her phone to play.
She opened WeChat and saw many messages. Considering her original appearance, it was quite normal. However, many people didn't reply to her messages. She was the kind of person who was oblivious to people's intentions. She would directly reject those who pursued her, and it would be even more tragic if they added her as a friend and tried to pursue her slowly, because she couldn't even tell that someone was pursuing her.
After clearing away the unimportant messages, Jiang Yue opened her WeChat Moments. The first post was a photo her father had shared: a big fish with his beaming face next to it. Jiang Yue promptly liked it and replied: "Dad's awesome! Thumbs up!" A moment later, she received 500 gold coins and a 60-second voice message. Without even opening the message, she replied: "As expected of my dad." Then she collected another 278 gold coins.
A while later, the person with the nickname "Little Er'er" sent a message. Jiang Yue clicked on it and saw that it read: "Sis, did you steal all of Dad's gold coins? I sent him a congratulatory message, but he didn't get a single gold coin." Jiang Yue sent her a screenshot, and immediately replied with a message saying they would split the gold coins when they met. Jiang Yue exited the chat and ignored it. The two sisters were always like this; whoever struck first got it, and splitting the gold coins was out of the question.
While waiting, Jiang Yue asked her younger sister if her studies were tiring. In the end, she couldn't resist her complaints and gave her two hundred gold coins. When it was her turn to get her hair washed, Jiang Yue put away her phone and left with the waiter.
