Chapter 653 That's so ungentlemanly!

The others were really overthinking it. Although being alone in a familiar place did make Feng Tianyu a little distracted, he hadn't forgotten that they were still recording a program.

Even after the cameras were removed, Feng Tianyu still showed no interest in letting anyone pry into his private life.

The village is small in size and has a small population. Because of its remote location and underdeveloped transportation, most of the young and middle-aged people have left to work elsewhere.

Most of those left behind are elderly people and children who have little ability to work.

The news about the Mo brothers' family spread throughout the entire village in just one night.

Therefore, when Ye Wanxi and the others got up early the next morning, eager to go to the rural morning market, they were met with the villagers' enthusiastic gazes full of curiosity and excitement.

At first, everyone thought the villagers were excited because they knew they were celebrities. Some even wondered whether they should agree or refuse if someone asked for their autograph or a photo.

But they soon discovered that these people were only interested in one person.

"You must be Miss Ye? Da Zhuang said that she is the most beautiful among the outsiders who came this time. And it's true! You young ladies and gentlemen are all so handsome and beautiful, much better looking than the young men in our village."

Ye Wanxi and her companion were suddenly surrounded by several middle-aged women. They were stunned for a moment, and after hearing what they said, they were both amused and exasperated.

"Big sister, do you know me?"

"Why call me 'big sister'? I'm old enough to be your aunt." That's what she said, but who wouldn't like being called young?

The woman Ye Wanxi called "Big Sister" was a middle-aged woman with a round face. She was wearing a floral dress and looked slightly plump. She smiled happily for a while, then picked up a large bunch of small green vegetables from the stall and stuffed them into Ye Wanxi's arms.

“Dazhuang told us everything that happened yesterday. It’s common for kids to bump into people in the village. Most of the people they bump into are relatives, and they don’t mean any harm. Nine times out of ten, they’re there to ask for offerings. But Dazhuang’s family is different. Although they are relatives, the two families have long since separated. Logically speaking, they shouldn’t make things difficult for a child. What a disgraceful old man!”

If an ordinary person encounters a stranger, their family can simply burn some paper money, make offerings, and say a few kind words, and that's it.

Mo Dazhuang's family was different. After the other party hit the child, they clearly wanted to stay and not leave. Ye Wanxi couldn't stand it and forcibly threw them away.

The woman had heard similar stories from her elders when she was young, so she naturally understood the intricacies of the matter.

She huffed and puffed out a few more curses at that old ghost who wouldn't rest in peace even after death, before reverting to her original kind and amiable demeanor.

“I watched Niu Niu grow up, and by seniority she should call me Auntie. You saved her, that’s a great favor. We farmers don’t have much to give you, but these vegetables are homegrown. In your city terms, they’re all-natural and pollution-free. They’re alright, don’t be disgusted.”

Ye Wanxi was caught off guard when a handful of vegetables was stuffed into her mouth, and she was stunned for a moment.

In that short time, the people around the older woman seemed to be influenced as well, and they all rushed forward to give Ye Wanxi things.

"And me, and me too! I'm Niu Niu's aunt. These are my family's free-range eggs. They're all home-produced, not fishy at all, and they're delicious."

"Dazhuang and I are best buddies, we grew up wearing the same pair of pants. I just caught this fish this morning, it's a river fish, it doesn't taste muddy, and it's still alive. I'll give it to you to make soup."

"These are guavas grown at home. They're just ripe and ready to eat; they're very sweet."

"This is tofu made at home..."

"The milk was just milked this morning..."

The Mo brothers were well-liked in the village. After making money, they helped the villagers a lot and even built roads for the village. Basically, eight or nine out of ten people in the village had close relationships with their family.

After yesterday's events spread, everyone started thinking about sending gifts to Ye Wanxi.

Ye Wanxi knew she hadn't done anything wrong, so naturally she wouldn't dare take other people's things without permission.

After some initial refusals, the woman suddenly rubbed her hands together excitedly and said, "Hey, this back and forth isn't going to work. Young lady, do you know how to tell fortunes? If you're really embarrassed, why don't you just tell our fortunes for us? Consider it payment for all this stuff."

"..." Good grief, they were waiting for me here.

Ye Wanxi looked helpless. Fortunately, although this place was poor, most people were hardworking, kind and optimistic. They might not have achieved much in their lives, but they also didn't suffer any major disasters.

Ye Wanxi casually picked out some nice phrases about family harmony and filial children, and after a few polite words, she made these people beam with joy, and they became even more enthusiastic in stuffing things into her hands.

The director, who suffered a crushing defeat yesterday but was now eager to avenge it, leaving Ye Wanxi and the others looking disheveled after grocery shopping, was left bewildered: "???"

The viewers in the live stream, still debating whether yesterday's event was true or false: "..."

The guests, already pushed to the periphery by the enthusiastic aunties and uncles and unable to even get a word in edgewise, were speechless.

Ye Wanxi, who was already struggling to carry a huge bunch of animals in her arms, was speechless: "..." Help!

Ye Wanxi ultimately couldn't resist the villagers' enthusiastic gift-giving and had no choice but to flee in panic with large bags and small packages.

Feng Tianyu also suffered along with her. After the villagers learned that the two were a couple, they naturally stuffed the large bags of things towards Feng Tianyu.

Therefore, when they ran out of the morning market, the ingredients they carried were enough to feed ten people for a day, and even more.

Gu Shaoling and the others: "..." The surprise of winning without lifting a finger always comes so unexpectedly.

Of course, Ye Wanxi couldn't possibly eat all that food by herself, so after thinking about it, she decided to share it.

Zhao Yun'er and Gu Shaoling's groups were overjoyed to be carried along, while Jiang Yulai and his companion, though feeling resentful that their limelight had been stolen, refrained from showing any dissatisfaction at this time, lest they be seen as ungrateful wretches.

Only Lian Lifan maintained a sullen face throughout the entire filming process. When it came time to distribute the ingredients, he showed no appreciation whatsoever, snorted coldly, and walked away.

His girlfriend was left standing there, extremely embarrassed, but she still had to make amends for him: "Sorry, Brother Fan isn't feeling well today, it wasn't intentional."

"It's okay, we don't mind." Or rather, they didn't care at all whether he was comfortable or not.

Do you want this dish again?

"Yes, yes, yes." The phone was with Lian Lifan, and she didn't have a single penny on her, so naturally she couldn't go back to buy groceries herself.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuxiu felt a lump in her throat and a pang of sympathy. She lowered her head, accepted the bag from Ye Wanxi, and whispered, "Thank you." Then she turned and ran away.

Gu Shaoling and the others frowned as they watched her leave: "That person is so rude! She didn't even say goodbye and just left like that."
