Chapter 20: The Rich Family's Surrogate Son 20: A Great Son

At this time, while Shen Qian was busy chatting with the agency and Fu Yuanbo was busy working in the fields, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room began to change quietly.

[Oh my god, Fu Yuanbo's adoptive mother had such a rich early life?]

【At such a young age... it's really wonderful. 】

[If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. With such a background and such an environment, how could a good child be raised? Fortunately, Fu Yuanbo was adopted by the Fu family!]

[Yes, yes, yes, fortunately the Fu family not only recognized Fu Yuanbo, but also did not let Chen Qian take Fu Zhongyan away, so these two children are now well raised! ]

Many people in the live broadcast room began to discuss Shen Qian's private affairs in his early years, and some onlookers didn't understand what was going on, so someone pointed them to Weibo.

The wind direction suddenly changed, from the previous unanimous praise to all kinds of sarcasm.

Of course, there are also many enthusiastic viewers who are moved by Shen Qian's diligence and do not think that her past is a big deal.

[Who hasn't clicked on it yet? Isn't she being very nice to Fu Yuanbo now? Her performance on this show was also remarkable.]

[I think so too. He just didn't have much education, but he knows a lot about life and is good at farming. The key is that he is also very gentle to his adopted son Fu Yuanbo.]

Of course, some people do not agree with this view.

[Nowadays, variety shows are all about creating character settings. They are nice to Fu Yuanbo in front of people, but what about behind people? If they are really nice, how can they be so unfamiliar? Can they not go to see Fu Yuanbo for ten years? ]

I also think this gentleness and caring attitude is probably all fake. A girl who can get involved in society at such a young age, not respect herself, and play with a pregnant woman must be extraordinary.

[This woman doesn't deserve Fu Yuanbo's kindness! ]

Fu Yuanbo knew nothing about what was happening in the live broadcast room. He was working in the fields, sweating profusely. It must be said that it was only after he actually worked for a day that he realized how tiring farm work was.

In the past, plowing the soil and digging furrows required a lot of physical strength. Sowing seeds seems much easier, but at the end of the day, my back and waist will ache.

How did my adoptive mother persist in doing all the work before? She seemed to be used to doing it. Not only did she do it well, but she also did it very quickly.

Fu Yuanbo gritted his teeth and insisted on planting all the seedlings before letting his adoptive mother come to inspect the results.

"You did a great job, a beautiful job, Yuanbo, thank you for your hard work." After looking at it carefully, Shen Qian gave a positive evaluation.

Fu Yuanbo felt so happy holding Pudding in his arms.

"Let's go home and continue eating fish with black bean sauce!"

"Meow~" Pudding also made a cry of joy.

Shen Qian felt a little melancholy as he watched his son carrying Pudding on his way home.

She was able to remain calm about the online turmoil, but she didn't know how Fu Yuanbo would react when he found out.

Maybe he won't notice...

Of course, this possibility is very small. If she was Fang Yuyun, since she did it, she would definitely let Fu Yuanbo see it.

At this time, Fang Yuyun was indeed planning this. She had already informed Fu Yuanbo's agent Fang Zhan about the hot search, and the other party directly forwarded the long Weibo link of the marketing account to Fu Yuanbo.

He may not be able to see it immediately, but he will definitely see it as long as he looks at his phone.

As for when Fu Yuanbo will have an attack after reading it, that is not certain.

Fu Yuanbo saw the message from Fang Zhan after the mother and son had finished their dinner and took a walk that evening.

[The story of Fu Yuanbo's adoptive mother, Shen Qian, who dropped out of school early in life and became pregnant after tasting the forbidden fruit...]

He opened the blog post and only glanced at the content of the article. Then, he caught a glimpse of the cameraman approaching with a camera. He calmly put the phone back in his pocket and continued to play with Pudding.

But Fu Yuanbo's heart was obviously experiencing huge waves. He frowned and rubbed Pudding's head, and the words he had just seen kept flashing through his mind.

He had never told anyone that he had an excellent short-term memory. Just by briefly scanning it, the details of the article were imprinted in his mind, and he was now digesting it sentence by sentence.

In fact, Fu Yuanbo knew that his adoptive mother was not well off when he was a child. He still had some memories of his childhood. He remembered that his adoptive mother was always frugal, but never made him feel embarrassed in terms of material things.

His nightmare began when he returned to the Fu family at the age of 6.

But he only found out today that Shen Qian was only 18 years old when she became pregnant, and became a young mother at the age of 19.

It turns out she was so young back then!

At the age of eighteen or nineteen, just an adult, still a child, they are forced to take on the responsibility of raising another life.

Although he was not Shen Qian's biological son, but a child who was taken away by mistake, Shen Qian did her best to provide him with a relatively stable home and a relatively carefree childhood when she was still unable to do so.

In his memories before the age of 6, all he could recall were warm and happy scenes.

He never knew how much hardship she had gone through...

It was not until today that he realized that she was only two or three years older than he is now.

Fu Yuanbo looked at Shen Qian who was still busy not far away, and was a little dazed for a moment. How many ups and downs did she have to go through to be able to face the various difficulties in life so calmly, and to always maintain a stable mood and good performance in such a reality show.

Fu Yuanbo lowered his eyes and looked at the pudding rolling on his thighs, feeling a stinging sensation in his heart.

Not for himself, but for Shen Qian, his adoptive mother.

Since their reunion, he had been preoccupied with his own emotions, licking his wounds, and mentally reckoning with the debt she owed him, sending him back to the Fu family. But what about the debt he owed her? Had he ever carefully considered it?

She had no obligation to take care of a child with whom she had no blood relationship, yet she raised him until he was six years old, giving him the only warmth he had ever felt from a mother. But had he ever given her anything in return? He thought with some shame that even calling her "Mom" was a huge obstacle for him...

Will she regret having raised him?

Fu Yuanbo's cell phone in his trouser pocket vibrated twice again.

He took it out and took a look.

Fang Zhan: [Did you see what I sent?]

Fang Zhan: [Don't get too close to your adoptive mother. Her negative news is trending. If you don't want to be affected, just do as I say.]

This time, Fu Yuanbo turned off the screen even faster, with a hint of impatience between his brows.

His expression was captured by the camera and was seen by Fang Yuyun who was watching the live broadcast. She showed a look of satisfaction on her face.

Very good, Fu Yuanbo had an emotional reaction and it showed on his face.

Next, he will definitely distance himself from Shen Qian. As long as he can drive a wedge between the mother and son, there is no need to worry that they will not have any conflicts. He just needs to let the cameraman keep a close eye on them.

The crew finished work very late that day, and Fu Yuanbo found that he had no chance to chat with his adoptive mother alone at all.

But he gradually calmed down. He didn't want Shen Qian to know about what happened on the Internet because she was not a person in the entertainment industry. Knowing about this would only cause her more troubles and she would be unable to do anything.

There are only two ways to deal with negative information: either take the initiative to find someone to pay to remove it, or handle it coldly and wait for the matter to be suppressed by other hot searches.

She doesn't know any better. After the recording of the show is finished in the future, she can return to her normal life.

But... he must find a way to find out where the blogger who broke the news dug up all this negative information from, and who instructed him to do so.

Fu Yuanbo's eyes were slightly narrow, especially when they were slightly narrowed, flashing with an unpredictable light. His unfriendly gaze swept over the cameraman who was a little too enthusiastic today. Usually at this time, they would have finished work long ago, why did they stay until this time today?

Moreover, the crew would not just film him before. Due to the recent rise in Chen Qian's popularity, there were even two cameramen following Chen Qian.

Aren’t there a bit too many cameras surrounding him tonight?

Years of loneliness made his nerves extremely sensitive. He immediately felt that this matter must be complicated. Perhaps the program crew also knew about the hot search and wanted to record his reaction to it and make a fuss about it later.

But there is another possibility. The program crew may have received instructions from certain people and did this deliberately?

So...who could it be?

Fu Yuanbo suddenly thought of something. Fang Zhan had mentioned before that the investor of "Farming with Mom" had a cooperative relationship with the Fu family, and that his parents also invested in this program, which he also knew.

Could it be that... this matter is related to the Fu family and my mother?

Fu Yuanbo was frightened by the thought that flashed through his mind and subconsciously shook his head.

It’s better not to make blind guesses. He can’t do anything now. He can’t protect himself, nor can he protect his adoptive mother at all.

All he could do... was to help her more with work and care for her more during the time they were together.

Chen Qian was originally a little worried that her appearance on the black hot search would cause Fu Yuanbo to have an extreme reaction, but she didn't expect that after a night, Fu Yuanbo not only did not have any extra emotions, but he got up earlier than her the next morning.

When Chen Qian got up, he saw that his son had already chopped wood, fetched water, and was busy doing something in the kitchen.

"Mom, you're up. Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Fu Yuanbo wiped the sweat from his face and asked her when he saw her.

Unlike yesterday when he was shy, today Fu Yuanbo called her "Mom" openly with a loud and clear voice, as if he was afraid that she couldn't hear him.

"Ah... why... did you get up so early?" Shen Qian was startled by his shouting.

"Well, get up when you wake up. I'm making noodles now, it will be ready soon." After saying that, Fu Yuanbo continued to work hard on making the noodles.

In fact, Fu Yuanbo got up very early. When he got up, it was still dark and the program crew had not started work yet.

Shen Qian looked at his son's face. At this moment, he looked like a little cat, with black and white on his face.

Shen Qian took a tissue and wiped his face: "What have you done to make your face look like this."

Fu Yuanbo was a little proud: "I chopped wood, fed the chickens, collected eggs, and even made a fire and boiled water this morning. Just wait a little longer, breakfast will be ready soon."

"Just wait for me to get up and do these. You didn't even take a break when you were working in the fields yesterday." Shen Qian felt a little distressed. His son was really tired all day yesterday, and he got up so early today.

"Mom, leave the rest to me. I can do it! You can teach me how to fish later!"

The boy was full of energy at this time, and was afraid that his foster mother would steal his work: "Just play with Pudding for a while, it always comes to bother me when no one is with it."

Chen Qian originally thought that Fu Yuanbo would be sad after seeing the comments online and might be in a bad mood today, but she didn't expect that he seemed like a different person and became even more aggressive in snatching work from her.

She was playing with Pudding and secretly observing her son. She didn't seem to be unhappy. Instead, he was very positive and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with him.

At this moment, he really looked like a sixteen-year-old boy full of vigor and vitality, which was completely different from when she first met him.

Since there was nothing wrong with it, Shen Qian didn't stop him and let him do it on his own.
