Chapter 68 Suffering a Loss is a Blessing 1
Chapter 68 Suffering a Loss is a Blessing 1
The bedroom door was closed, and Jiang Ping sat at his desk receiving the memories of this body.
The original owner, Wang Ping, was an ordinary female college student with an average family background, average grades, and an average job.
In his previous life, he went abroad to work in order to avoid trouble, and died suddenly.
Her wish was to stay away from her annoying relatives. Since her parents thought that suffering a loss was a blessing, she decided to let them bear it themselves.
……
The original owner loved to eat since childhood and got hungry very easily.
When she has nothing to do, she eats snacks, bullfrogs, braised food, crayfish, fried chicken, spicy hot pot, hot pot, and milk tea. Basically, she likes all the foods that everyone else likes.
I would spend all my pocket money on food, and when I had time during school, I would work part-time to earn money to continue eating.
After graduation, I saved a little of my monthly salary, and spent the rest on showing off.
The original owner's parents, who were enthusiastic about socializing with relatives, never stopped her.
However, when the original owner bought things for the family, they would invite the children of their relatives to come over, with Song Baobao from Aunt Wang Baichi's family coming the most frequently.
If the food the original owner ordered in advance has arrived but she hasn't returned yet, then congratulations to her.
This means that Song Baobao and her gang will take everything they can, and the original owner's parents will cheer them on, saying that these kids can eat and drink well and are very healthy.
During holidays and festivals, if she's feeling generous and buys extra fruit and snacks to stock up at home, she absolutely mustn't be discovered.
As soon as her parents see food at home, their DNA kicks in, and they immediately call their relatives' children to invite them over to eat.
The main reason was that if they replaced the food with something the children didn't like, they would take it to give away.
Anyway, no one will even say goodbye to the original owner.
Sometimes when the original owner wanted to eat something, the storage box was empty, as if mocking her for being too slow.
Even pigs fighting over food wouldn't be this clean...
After this happened repeatedly, the original owner could no longer suppress her opinions and went straight to the heart of the matter, telling her parents the facts and reasoning with them.
Her parents looked on incredulously, as if she were being unreasonable.
"Where did you learn to be so stingy?"
"It's just a little something, what's wrong with relatives having some?"
How could we have such a petty and calculating daughter?
"Okay, we won't touch your things anymore."
"We're just worried your stuff will expire."
...
The original owner didn't really trust them, so she chose to temporarily give up snacks and instead buy groceries to eat at the dinner table.
I don't know what nerve I triggered in my parents' eyes, it was like they were sulking with me.
I sent a message saying that there was good food at home and invited my aunt and Song Baobao to come over for dinner. I was very pleased to see Song Baobao eating like a pig.
Perhaps it's a special talent, but Song Baobao can slurp the food off the plate in less than fifteen minutes.
Not only do they call for help, but they never fail to find someone.
The original owner only felt bored.
Without arguing with his family any further, he changed jobs and then made an excuse to move out of his home.
As I've grown far away from my parents, our relationship seems to be slowly recovering.
Who would have thought that this was just an illusion?
The original owner had a stable job and hadn't gotten married for several years. He usually lived in the company dormitory and only went home for a few days during the Spring Festival.
Without free snacks and meals, Song Baobao felt uneasy, especially with those junk foods; she felt guilty if she didn't eat them for a day.
Unable to resist her youngest son's whining, Wang Baichi, the mother, had no choice but to pay for it herself.
If Wang Baichi dared not buy it, Song Baobao would roll on the ground, crying and saying that she was not as generous as her uncle and wanted to become her uncle's son.
Upon hearing this, Wang Baichi was completely at their mercy.
The money was so bad that Wang Baichi was heartbroken, and he could only curse Wang Ping at home all day long.
They scolded her for getting too big for her britches, saying that once she found a job, she turned her back on her relatives and was afraid that they would take advantage of her.
It seems that Wang Baichi is aware of these matters.
Not satisfied with just scolding her, he went to Wang Ping's house and asked her parents to give their daughter a better talking-to.
The original owner's parents thought what Wang Baichi said made a lot of sense.
After all, if their daughter doesn't buy anything, what will they use to make a show of it?
Now when people come to visit, there are no nuts, fruits, or snacks to offer them.
You have to pay for it yourself; snacks and fruits are all more expensive now.
So when the original owner came back for dinner during the Spring Festival, the group of them discussed it and began to take turns brainwashing her at the table with the idea that suffering a loss is a blessing.
She was further emphasized that she should be kinder to her relatives and not take every little thing to heart.
The original owner ignored them completely, thinking they were just talking nonsense.
I was huddled in a corner watching videos after dinner when I overheard my relatives pointing at a box of fruit and talking to their child.
"Take whatever you want to eat; this was bought specifically for you..."
"It's okay if we can't finish it. We can take the suitcase back with us later. They're not eating it anyway."
For some reason, the original owner suddenly realized that it was completely unnecessary for him to get angry with these people.
After that, he simply stopped going home for the Spring Festival.
Song Baobao and her two friends ate themselves into pigs through sheer skill.
As I grew up, I realized that it was difficult to find a partner, and it significantly impacted my life.
The group was pulling at each other, and since neither of them wanted to endure the hardship of losing weight, they started bringing up old grievances.
I don't know who started it, but people began to complain that Wang Ping, their cousin, was too vicious.
When they were still young, she bought so many delicious foods and kept them at home, but she didn't eat them herself. Was she just trying to harm them?
Now, seeing my cousin's love for sharing food and her great figure, I just find her really annoying.
So Song Baobao led them to persuade the original owner's parents, and the group went to ask the original owner for compensation...
The original owner was filled with questions.
The group even caused trouble at her former company, which annoyed her so much that she applied for an overseas work assignment.
The original owner lived a fulfilling life away from home, but unfortunately died suddenly a few years later.
The original owner was even reviewing his actions while he was still in the lingering space, wondering if his sudden death was due to staying up late playing on his phone...
However, the original owner didn't leave behind any savings and had made a will to donate her assets, so her family didn't care about her funeral arrangements. It was her colleagues who buried her under the tree.
……
While looking at the original owner's memories, Wang Ping accidentally glanced at the three Michelin tires and felt her eyes getting oily.
The timing is perfect; the original owner had just graduated and hadn't even secured a job yet.
Wang Ping decided to pack her things and leave early.
Yesterday, the original owner was angry because the durian was all eaten.
Wang asked Xiao Yi to help. Wang quickly packed a suitcase, and Xiao Yi packed up all of the original owner's belongings and called a courier to deliver them to the courier station in the east of the city.
Then she messaged the original owner's parents, saying that she had found a job with a dormitory and would move out today before starting work tomorrow.
The original owner's parents thought their daughter was just being childish and didn't take it to heart.
It wasn't until the two returned home that evening and found the stove and pots cold that they realized something was wrong.
I took out my phone and scrolled to the message Wang sent that morning. After reading it carefully, I realized that my daughter really wouldn't be coming back anytime soon.
Realizing it was too late to cook, the original owner's parents, Wang Yuanzhong and Liu Xifu, decided to eat out instead.
The two had barely sat down to look at the menu when they were spotted by the sharp-eyed Song Baobao and Wang Baichi – what a coincidence!
Wang Yuanzhong seemed quite happy to see his relatives, and since he didn't eat there every day, he added three more meat dishes.
Song Baobao was overjoyed.
I think my mother was right; by just watching my uncle's house, I can eat for free.
