Chapter 9

[But why did Aunt Jiang Hui mistake her own child? ]

"You're saying that Aunt Jiang Hui's biological child was replaced by the son of Aunt Jiang Hui's husband and her adopted sister, Jiang Mei?"

Is Jiang Mei the illegitimate daughter of Aunt Jiang Hui's father? Jiang Mei's biological mother angered Aunt Jiang Hui's mother to death, so Aunt Jiang Hui's father took seven-year-old Jiang Mei home to raise her that same year. He still secretly interacts with Jiang Mei's biological mother, but they're just not married?

[All of this is a bit confusing, I can't tell the difference.]

Nan Tao widened her eyes. This, this is too exciting!

A netizen named Passerby was battling with a fan of Jiang Hui, when he suddenly saw the explosive content of "Have you eaten melons today?" floating on the screen. Both sides paused for a moment, and then asked questions like crazy.

[What? This naughty kid Xie Han isn't the biological son of actress Jiang?]

[Is actress Jiang's child switched by her husband and sister?]

[Is the husband of actress Jiang cheating on her with her younger sister? ]

[I remember she's not my biological sister, but an adopted sister?]

[Look everyone, today you are eating melons and floating on the screen. She is an adopted sister, but also an illegitimate daughter, but the actress Jiang doesn't know. ]

[Oh my god!!! Jiang Mei's biological mother actually pissed off actress Jiang's mother to death, oh my god!]

[Does actress Jiang know? She definitely doesn't. If she knew, she would have been furious. How could she possibly be so nice to Jiang Mei?]

I'm a big fan of actress Jiang, and she's incredibly kind to her younger sister, Jiang Mei. She was admitted to a key provincial university, but her family, living in the countryside, couldn't afford to send two children to school, so she gave her sister Jiang Mei the opportunity. After working part-time, she stumbled into the film and television industry, and after years of hard work, she's finally here.

[What is said above is absolutely true. Even I, a casual fan, have learned this information.]

[Oh my god, if this is true, I can’t believe how crazy Queen Jiang must be! ]

[Actor Jiang is incredibly kind to her younger sister, Jiang Mei. She paid for all of her college expenses, found her a job, and even bought her a house with her own money. If I had a big star like her, I'd die of happiness.]

[I'm so angry. Poor actress Jiang.]

[How could there be such a vicious woman like Jiang Mei in the world? ]

[No, I'm saying, why are you guys so excited? It's just a floating screen, and it's an account with zero works, why do you believe it so much? ]

Some netizens who have witnessed the authenticity of "Have you eaten melons today" in Nantao's live broadcast room spread the news about Pan Xing. Some believed him, while others doubted him. Especially the die-hard fans of actress Jiang Xing, who, with the idea of ​​"better to have nothing than to have something", began to use their online search capabilities and unexpectedly discovered many clues.

At this moment, on the live broadcast screen,

The village chief greeted Jiang Hui and her son and continued, "Changxing County has been a very popular tourist destination lately, with many couples visiting. However, we're in Changxing Village, which is located in the county, so there aren't many people there. If you go to the county town later on your mission, you'll run into a lot of people."

"Next, adults and children, please hand in all the food and toys in your suitcases and backpacks."

When the children heard this, they wailed.

Yu Ze handed the building blocks to the village chief.

Zhang Tong hugged the big puppy tightly, looked at it reluctantly, and finally threw it into the basket in front of the village chief.

Yang Xuan's eyes were red, and she hugged her mother's thighs, unwilling to let go of the Barbie doll.

Zhou Mei lowered her head and said, "Be obedient, and you'll get it back in a few days."

Yang Xuan's eyes were red as she slowly moved to the front of the basket, kissed the baby before putting it in the basket, and said to the village chief, "Village chief, you have to help me take good care of the baby."

The village chief smiled and said, "Don't worry, baby."

Finally, Xie Han was the only one left, and he was unwilling to let go of his newly bought Ultraman toy.

Jiang Hui couldn't persuade him, so she scolded him, "Be obedient, look at the other kids, they've all handed in their toys obediently."

Xie Han: "No, I won't!"

Jiang Hui's patience ran out, and she reached out to grab it.

Xie Han bit down hard on the tiger's mouth.

Jiang Hui gasped in pain and scolded, "Xie Han!"

Everyone watched this scene and didn't know whether to persuade him or not.

Nan Tao couldn't bear to see this, so she stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Hui shook her head and put her injured hand behind her body, her eyes full of worry for Xie Han, worried that Xie Han would be disliked by netizens.

Nan Tao sighed and reached out to help take the toy from Jiang Hui's hand.

Xie Han glared at Nan Tao angrily.

Yu Ze stepped forward and stood in front of Nan Tao, holding out his hand to defend her, "Why are you glaring at my mommy?"

Jiang Hui pulled Xie Han behind her and whispered something to him, finally coaxing him into silence.

After putting the toys and food into the baskets, the four groups of guests stood in a row and listened to the village chief introduce the next steps.

"Everyone, turn around and look back. The houses here are all made of mud walls, nurturing generations of people here. We'll be staying here for the three-day, two-night program recording. Now, it's time to decide where everyone will live. The adults will need to complete a small game, and then they'll be ranked according to their level of completion to get a lottery order for choosing a house. In the end, you'll live in whichever house you draw."

"The rules of the game are: everyone fills a balloon with water, blows it up into a ball, and then holds it above their head. They can't use their hands to hold it up. Whoever holds on the longest wins."

The village chief gave balloons to the adults.

After taking the balloon, Nan Tao vowed to Yu Ze: "Don't worry, son, Mommy will strive for first place!"

Yu Ze said: "I believe in Mommy, come on Mommy!"

Nan Tao filled a balloon with water and blew it up. When she heard the village chief's whistle, she immediately raised her hands and placed them above her head.

The balloon swayed and didn't even last five seconds before falling to the ground. The balloon was punctured by the stones on the ground and water leaked out.

Nan Tao smiled awkwardly at Yu Ze.

Yu Ze comforted her, "Mommy is very good. She held on for five seconds."

Netizens in the live broadcast room posted barrages of laughter.

【This mother and son are so cute. 】

[I'm dying of laughter. We agreed to strive for first place.]

[Puff~ No! She couldn't even last five seconds.]

Mingmingze's words were meant to comfort him, and they were so sincere, but why did I sense a hint of sarcasm in them?

【Hahaha, sincerity is indeed a killer move.】

【Baby Ze, you are so cute. 】

Nan Tao looked at Yu Ze speechlessly as he praised her sincerely. Why hadn't she noticed her son's natural black-hearted nature before?

The final result of the competition was not surprising. Nan Tao was last, and the others were Jiang Hui first, Wen Manqing second, and Zhou Mei third.

The village chief said, "Now we'll start drawing lots. Jiang Hui and her son will start first, and then everyone will draw lots in order."

Xie Han insisted on drawing lots for Jiang Hui's group, and the picture of the room they finally drew looked quite good. It was a small courtyard house, very spacious and bright, with complete furniture. The room was generally clean, and there was especially a lamb in the yard.

Zhou Mei went forward to draw a lot. The room looked a little small and a little shabby, but it was barely habitable.

The room Wen Manqing chose was also good. Although it was not as big as Jiang Hui and her family's, it was much better than Zhou Mei's house.

Finally it was the turn of Nan Tao and her son. They had no choice, so Yu Ze stepped forward and took the picture handed to him by the village chief.

Netizens are talking about it.

[It's too shabby, is it habitable? ]

The eaves of the house are covered with straw. If it rains, it will definitely leak.

There's no furniture at all, just a broken bed and a stove for cooking pots. It requires firewood to light, which is quite difficult.

[I feel like laughing, what's going on? Nan Tao is a wealthy woman from the moment she appears, rich and generous. I guess this is her first time living in a place like this.]

I guess Nantao is definitely uninhabitable. Coming from an ordinary family like me, I wouldn't want to live in a place like this.

What's wrong with this kind of place? People used to come here like this. It's a place you can stay in. You don't live there every day, so three days isn't much.

After seeing the picture, Yu Ze felt a little disappointed, but he quickly comforted her: "Mommy, it's okay. We can still live here after we clean it up."

Nan Tao touched Yu Ze's little head and said, "Baby, don't you dislike it?"

Yu Ze shook his head: "It's all right."

Nan Tao smiled and said, "Baby, you've grown up. Don't you know that when you were born you looked like a monkey's butt, ugly and skinny..."

Yu Ze raised his voice to stop her: "Mommy!"

Nan Tao laughed out loud.

The mother and son walked and talked and soon found their room.

Although I was mentally prepared after seeing the pictures, I still felt a little disappointed when I saw the reality.

Nan Tao comforted herself for a while, then pushed the suitcase worth tens of thousands of dollars to the ground and sat on it as a bench.

He looked around at the shabby and dusty room and was stunned for a while.

After a while, Nan Tao saw her son push the door open with a broom in his hand and asked, "Where did you come from?"

Yu Ze said: "I borrowed it from the old lady in front."

Yu Ze was talking while cleaning.

Nan Tao said, "Baby, you're tired after a day. Take a rest. Mommy will sweep the floor later."

Yu Ze silently cleaned up the dust on the ground. His nose and face were covered with dust.

Nan Tao wiped it for him lovingly, then took the broom and said, "Come, watch Mommy clean."

Yu Ze followed Nan Tao like a little tail to help, and sighed: "If only Dad was here."

Nan Tao pretended to be jealous, "Do you miss Daddy? Isn't it good to be with Mommy?"

Yu Ze said like a little adult: "Daddy can clean the house."

Nan Tao burst out laughing: "Haha, yes, if Dad comes, we can leave everything to him and we can just sit back and do nothing."

After cleaning the bed and putting clean sheets on it, Nan Tao lay on the bed with her legs crossed and chatted with Yu Ze.

The mother and son were chatting nonsense when they suddenly heard a cute baby voice coming from the door.

"Brother Ze, Brother Xiao Ze."

Nan Tao's eyes lit up, she got off the bed, walked quickly to the door, picked up little Yang Xuan, and kissed her fiercely, "Xiao Xuanxuan, come and see Brother Ze, do you miss Aunt Taozi?"

Yang Xuan nodded obediently: "Auntie Taozi, let's go out and play with Brother Xiaoze."

Nan Tao raised an eyebrow and glanced outside the door. "Xiaotong is here too. Are you here to look for Xiaoze?"

Zhang Tong said politely, "Hello, Auntie Taozi."

Nan Tao put Yang Xuan down with a smile, "Xiao Ze, go out and play with them."

Yu Ze was silent for a while.

Nan Tao pushed Yu Ze out: "Go ahead, go ahead. Your little sister is here to ask you to go out and play. You should have fun. Remember to protect your sisters outside."

Yu Ze reluctantly walked out of the door, following Yang Xuan and Zhang Tong.

Zhang Tong held Yang Xuan's hand and passed by wild flowers, puppies, and grandparents. They greeted them, played with them, and turned back from time to time to shout at Yu Ze to hurry up.

Yu Ze's hands were full of flowers picked by Zhang Tong and Yang Xuan. His hands were never idle, helping them weave beautiful wreaths.

When passing by a left-behind elderly grandmother's house, the little ones were called to stop.

"Little friends, grandma has some apples and biscuits for you to eat." The old lady smiled kindly, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and handed the snacks she had just taken from the house to the children.

The children hesitated and did not take it. The adults had told them not to eat food from outsiders.

But the old lady looks like a very nice person. Will it make her sad if I don’t take it?

Yu Ze hesitated for a moment and looked at the cameraman.

The cameraman nodded.

Yu Ze stepped forward and took the apple and biscuits, "Thank you, grandma."

Yang Xuan said in a baby voice, "Thank you, grandma."

Zhang Tong said gently and cheerfully, "Thank you, grandma."

The three little ones ate as they walked, and when they reached the end of a small path and turned a corner, they happened to pass by Xie Han's residence.

Xie Han was kicking stones at the gate of the yard when he heard the voices of his friends. He looked up and was angry that they didn't come to play with him, but when he saw the food in their hands, he couldn't help swallowing.

Xie Han asked, "Where did you get the food? I'm going to report you to the village chief for being dishonest and secretly hiding the food."

Zhang Tong retorted: "We don't have it. The old lady gave it to us."

Xie Han didn't believe it: "I gave it to you, but not to me? Unless you give me the food, I will report you to the village chief."

Zhang Tong ignored Xie Han, took Yang Xuan's hand and said to Yu Ze, "Let's go."

Xie Han stretched out his hand to stop him: "You are not allowed to leave, you must give it to me!"

Having said that, he reached out to grab it without waiting for Zhang Tong to react.

Zhang Tong reacted quickly and subconsciously let go of his hand to block it.

Xie Han failed to grab it, so he turned to grab Yang Xuan's.

Yang Xuan was dumbfounded. "No, no."

Yu Ze stepped forward to stop Xie Han: "What are you doing!"

Xie Han's eyes were red: "Why do you all have it but I don't? I want to eat!"

After saying that, Xie Han tried to grab the apple from Yu Ze's hand.

Yu Ze didn't eat the apple and left it for Nan Tao. How could he let Xie Han snatch it away?

Xie Han is one year older than Yu Ze, and is strong and fat. No matter how agile and clever Yu Ze is, he was pushed to the ground by Xie Han because of a moment of carelessness.

There were many stones in the rural land. Yu Ze fell and supported himself with his palms, but the stones scratched his skin and caused blood to seep out.

Yang Xuan was so scared that she burst into tears.
