Su Wanyu also held her little hand, her face filled with emotion and tenderness, "My good daughter, your parents will be relying on you to support us in the future!"
Suddenly burdened with the responsibility of providing for the family, Jiang Mianmian replied, "...Mom, I'm only eight years old. It's going to be many years before I finish high school."
Five years of elementary school, two years of middle school, and two years of high school make a total of nine years.
By that time, her parents would definitely have started their own business and earned a lot of money, persuaded by her, and she would be able to live like a lazy rich second-generation!
When Su Wanyu thought about how long it would take before she could rely on her daughter, the smile on her beautiful face suddenly drooped, "Ah, if only you could grow up overnight."
Then she released her daughter's hand and turned to coax her husband, "Hubby, I don't want to go back and turn over the grain."
Although working at the Sun-drying Field was easy and allowed for slacking, it was still tiring.
"Then let's not go back, let's sleep."
Jiang Changhai waved his hand assertively, "Mianmian did fall into the water, and everyone in the village saw it. We, as parents, should stay at home and accompany our shocked daughter."
Even though there were still two hours left until the end of the workday, everyone had gone home, so naturally, there was no reason to go back and work!
"Hubby, you're so smart," praised Su Wanyu, looking up at him with adoring, loving eyes.
Jiang Mianmian thought,... her mom is really practical and scheming.
Sure enough, Jiang Changhai felt very pleased with himself and proudly said, "Of course, when it comes to being lazy and shirking work, no one in Stone Bridge Village can beat me."
Jiang Mianmian saw her father's shameless self-pride and couldn't help but admire him.
This skin was absolutely thicker than a city wall!
In this era when labor is most glorious, her dad was the pest everyone wanted to get rid of!
And her mom didn't feel it was wrong at all, and still gently coaxed her dad to work, "Brother Hai, when you wake up later, could you wash the clothes our daughter changed out of?"
"Sure," Jiang Changhai, mesmerized by her beauty, naturally agreed immediately.
Jiang Mianmian thought, Ah, men!
Her dad was just simply lazy, not wanting to work, but her mom was both lazy and greedy, and also very good at acting.
Of course, Jiang Mianmian herself was no better than her parents.
In her past life, she was a lazy slack-off, and in this life, she remained true to her original self, learning to avoid work from her dad and fight over food with her mom.
Indeed, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!
Seeing her daughter's mature expression, Su Wanyu poked her little belly and said, "In the future, you're not allowed to play in the water with your clothes on."
It was tiring enough on usual days; she did not want to wash extra clothes.
Jiang Mianmian immediately claimed she was wronged, "It wasn't me who wanted to go into the water; it was Big Brother and Second Brother who pushed me in."
"What?! Zhiwen and Zhiwu pushed you into the water?!"
Jiang Changhai immediately sat up, asking seriously, "Why did they push you into the water?"
Although he knew his daughter was a good swimmer, having taught her himself, falling into the water on one's own and being pushed were two different matters!
And normally when his daughter played in the river, he was always watching over her.
Jiang Mianmian blinked and said truthfully, "Big Brother, Second Brother, and I found a wild yam by the river. We all wanted it, neither one willing to give in, so we started to fight, and during the scuffle, I don't know who accidentally pushed me into the river."
She didn't embellish the complaint because, although her dad usually seemed laid-back, he could be quite frightening when truly angered.
Besides, considering she was almost thirty, combining her two lives, she wasn't about to squabble with two little kids.
