Reborn in the 1980s, I Give Up While My Family Reads My Mind and Works Themselves to the Bone

Jin Miao died. She had worked hard her whole life, yet still couldn't escape the rule that the villainess side character was doomed to die.

After being reborn, she finally got it: Why bother trying so hard? She'd worked herself to the bone and still died. Whether it happened sooner or later, she'd die anyway, so she might as well give up and coast.

Her eldest brother came home beaming, ready to spend money on a job. A permanent position at the factory, no less!

[Jin Miao's inner thoughts: Go ahead. The factory's going under in two years anyway, so you might as well earn a little money before then.]

Eldest Brother Jin: What? The factory's going under? Work there? Not in this lifetime!

Her second brother spent every day scheming over the family's tiny plot of land.

[Jin Miao's inner thoughts: Go on, farm it as much as you like. Nobody can out-farm you. You'll spend your whole life bent over the fields, and when the pretty girl from the next village marries the pig farmer, you'll still be stuck with those plots.]

Second Brother Jin panicked: What? The pretty girl ran off with the pig farmer? I'll be poor my whole life even if I farm forever? No way. I'll raise pigs too. I'll start a contract farm!

Her little sister was determined to be with that educated youth, throwing tantrums and making a scene so she could be with him.

[Jin Miao's inner thoughts: Why are you stopping her? She won't give up until she sees that man in bed with another woman!]

Little Sister Jin was stunned. What? That man cheated with so many women? Marry him? Not a chance! Making money is what matters!

And then there were Mom and Dad...

Only belatedly did Jin Miao realize something was wrong. Why had her family become the ones working themselves to the bone in this life?
