Chapter 1704: Miss Nice Girl (67)
"Xiaoguo, you're really too unreasonable. You're nothing like you were when you were little."
"That's right. Your parents have worked so hard. Why don't you think more about them?"
"You've already graduated from university. Fine, you don't work, but you won't even do housework. You're a grown woman, yet you spend your days eating and lazing around. This is outrageous."
...
Surrounded and attacked by countless relatives, Tang Guo remained incredibly thick-skinned. Wearing a bright smile, she said, "My mom always told me that for girls, having a good job isn't as good as marrying well. Everyone says I'm pretty, and that I'll definitely marry a boss in the future. If I'm going to be a boss's wife, a wealthy madam, how could I possibly do housework?"
As those shameless words fell, the living room fell silent for a moment.
Faced with someone so thick-skinned and impervious to reason, all their lectures seemed completely useless.
Li Meixue's expression was extremely ugly. Only now did she realize—what was the point of raising a daughter?
Her precious son Xiaokun was far better. She truly regretted raising such a useless daughter.
"Meixue," one elderly granduncle said, "I think you've spoiled her too much. She's grown up now—no job, no boyfriend, and still mooching off the family. She doesn't know how hard society is. Let her go out and make her own way, then she'll understand what hardship really means. Does she think marrying a rich boss is that easy? All she thinks about is gaining without working for it. Is that acceptable?"
Tang Guo pouted. "Granduncle, these are all things my mother taught me. Were they wrong? She always told me to marry into a good family. Even after I came back, Mom said I would definitely marry some rich boss."
This granduncle was one of the few elders with some sense.
Li Meixue looked even more embarrassed, especially when she noticed everyone staring at her. At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to throw Tang Guo out of the house.
Even the elderly granduncle wore a complicated expression.
So... this was all taught by Li Meixue herself?
Naturally, the relatives' siege ended in complete failure. The current Tang Guo was like someone immune to all poisons. Her face was so thick that neither knives nor spears could penetrate it. No one could do anything to her.
After that, Tang Guo neither did housework nor went out to work. Every day, she slept until she woke naturally. The moment matchmakers heard her name, they immediately refused to arrange blind dates for her.
Getting involved with this family was like inviting trouble upon yourself.
Not only that, but she occasionally went shopping and dragged Li Meixue along. Whenever she saw pretty jewelry, she would coax her mother into buying it for her, saying that she was destined to become a wealthy madam and needed some jewelry and clothes to dress herself up properly, otherwise people would look down on her.
Tang Guo wore Li Meixue down to the point of exhaustion. Gradually, she gave up on finding a husband for her daughter altogether.
Especially after Tang Xiaokun returned several times complaining that everyone kept asking whether he had an outrageous older sister, and whether their family favored sons over daughters. People had even heard that the first requirement in Tang Guo's matchmaking conditions was for the man to buy her younger brother a house in the city center of the provincial capital.
"Mom, can't you get rid of her somehow? My classmates laugh at me every day. I can't stand it anymore."
"Xiaokun, don't be angry. Mom is thinking of a solution."
"A solution to what? She lives at home and does nothing. She even asked me to lend her money before. How could I have a sister like this?"
Tang Xiaokun was furious. What angered him even more was that his mother had spent so much money buying clothes and jewelry for Tang Guo. If that money had been given to him instead, he could have bought so much in-game currency.
Spending it on her was such a waste.
"Mom, I don't want to see her. I don't care what happens to her, but she's not allowed to live at home anymore."
