Chapter 72 Heroic and Fearless
Chapter 72 Heroic and Fearless
(I was really looking forward to it! But this is what I expected?)
(It's a terrible variety show. The cast is pretty good, but the storyline is awful.)
The director was also very worried about this variety show.
When Shen Wantang woke up, everyone went out to shop and make money. They knew they couldn't keep relying on others.
He Zhiyu brought Chen Xingran to a nearby town and found that many of the people there were elderly.
I guess most of the young people have gone out to work and earn money.
"Xingran, what do you think we should do?" He Zhiyu knew nothing about these things; all her money was spent on...
"I've looked around, how about we go help the fruit farmers harvest their fruit?" Chen Xingran looked around and realized that there were actually some good places to work here, as they only hire temporary workers.
He Zhiyu nodded: "Sure, let's give it a try."
So the two of them went to help the fruit farmers harvest apples.
Lin Wenyu and Cheng Yan went to help others harvest vegetables.
Only Shen Wantang and Gu Huainian remained in the courtyard. Gu Huainian noticed that she wasn't flustered at all: "Shen Wantang, if we don't go out to earn money, what will we eat?"
"Don't worry, I won't go hungry." Shen Wantang stretched and prepared to go out for a stroll.
(No way, this is Gu Huainian, the movie star! Doesn't Sister Hei even feel a little bit tempted?!)
(Is this woman playing hard to get?)
(Yeah, if I could be with a movie star, wouldn't I be set for life?)
(Is Blackie really here to participate in a dating reality show?)
Netizens are unaware that Shen Wantang is already married. If they did, they would probably be criticized!
Why would someone who's already married participate in a dating reality show?
In just one afternoon, Shen Wantang figured out where to get food.
Who says you have to pay for a meal? There are free lunches out there.
"Come with me." Shen Wantang led Gu Huainian directly into a courtyard. There were two children in the courtyard, and a grandfather who seemed to be watching over them.
"Grandpa, hello. Excuse me, where around here can we catch some fish? We haven't eaten in a long time and would like to catch some fish." Shen Wantang asked politely, as the best meat she could get was fish.
And it's free.
"You're going to catch fish? The water here is very deep, and you need fishing rods; it's impossible to catch them with your bare hands." The middle-aged man stood up and looked at the two of them. They were still wary of strangers.
Shen Wantang frowned: "There isn't even a stream?"
"No, no." The middle-aged man waved his hand, but when he looked up, he saw a child who had somehow gotten onto the second-floor balcony, with half of his body sticking out, which was very dangerous.
It could fall at any moment!
"Hey! Erwa! Go back quickly! Don't move, don't move!" The middle-aged man ran over quickly.
When Erwa saw his grandfather arrive, he excitedly wiggled forward.
It fell straight down!
(Oh my god!)
Shen Wantang reacted quickly and caught the second child!
She frowned; the weight of the second child, combined with the inertia of its fall, still created a significant impact.
"Hiss!" Shen Wantang gently placed the child on the ground, then rubbed her hands.
(My goodness, Tangtang reacted so quickly!)
(This is truly terrifying; this is the difference between how grandparents take care of children!)
(Yes, after all, the elderly are getting on in years, and it's much more reassuring to have someone by your side.)
(My heart jumped when Erwa fell!)
(Thankfully, there was Sister Hei; otherwise, the medical expenses could have bankrupted the family.)
"Oh! Thank you! Thank you so much!" The middle-aged man rushed forward and hugged Erwa. Seeing Shen Wantang's pained expression, he felt very guilty.
Thinking that they were going to catch fish to eat, he hurriedly went back to his backyard to get something, and told them to wait a moment.
"Are you alright?" Gu Huainian frowned; picking up a child like this was very dangerous.
Shen Wantang shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just a little bit of a tug, I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest."
"Are you really alright? Should we call a doctor to come and take a look?" Gu Huainian was still worried.
"It's really nothing, let's go in a bit!" Shen Wantang said, not expecting that this matter would cause a delay.
When the middle-aged man returned, he found her carrying a bag! There was also a duck.
The duck looks huge, no less impressive than yesterday's chicken!
"Oh my god, Uncle, we can't accept these!" Shen Wantang shook her head repeatedly. Saving the child was just something she did on a whim, and even if this hadn't happened, she would have done it anyway.
The middle-aged man said, "My surname is Li, just call me Uncle Li. Don't be so polite, my second child is worth much more than these things, please accept them!"
“But we don’t slaughter ducks ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ” Shen Wantang was completely numb. She knew how to handle this kind of thing, but she just couldn’t do it in public, because it would make her seem particularly vicious.
"You don't know how?" Uncle Li was taken aback, then smiled and said, "No problem, no problem! I'll help you kill them! You take the vegetables and keep an eye on Erwa for me."
After saying that, Uncle Li put the vegetables on the ground, picked up the duck, and turned to go back into the house.
Shen Wantang and Gu Huainian exchanged a glance, not expecting such an unexpected gain.
(This is what Blackie deserves; I wonder if her hand is injured!)
(Exactly, and this kind of pain is the worst.)
(I think Shen Wantang did it on purpose. It takes farmers a long time to raise a duck to adulthood!)
(Where did this hater come from upstairs?)
A moment later, Uncle Li came out carrying a clean bag: "Thank you so much, you must accept this."
(Uncle Li is right! The child is definitely more important than these things.)
(How would you react if something like this happened to your own child? Would you repay kindness with enmity?)
"Thank you so much, Uncle Li." Gu Huainian reached out and took the vegetables, then picked them up from the ground.
"Keep an eye on the child, Uncle Li. Kids this age are the most mischievous. They'll run away if you're not careful. Be careful," Shen Wantang said, handing Erwa to him with a thoughtful reminder.
"I know, I know, I will definitely keep an eye on it." Uncle Li nodded repeatedly.
After saying goodbye to Uncle Li's family, Shen Wantang and Gu Huainian went straight back to their courtyard. This duck was enough for the two of them to eat for two days, six meals!
(No, they just lay there looking so fresh and beautiful?)
(Wait a minute! Is this woman here to find a partner?)
(Gu Huai Nian doesn't seem like he's here to date; the two of them are a perfect match.)
(They should wait until everyone comes back to eat; they'll go out again after they've finished.)
Coincidentally, that's what the director was thinking too; he couldn't let these two get paid for nothing!
So the director took action and went out to find the other two groups.
Shen Wantang saw him leave, but didn't take it seriously. After all, he was a director, and he must have a lot to do.
Half an hour later, just as Shen Wantang was preparing to cook, the director returned with a large group of people.
Holding a megaphone, she proclaimed: "Miss Shen bravely and fearlessly saved the child!"
Shen Wantang: ?
