The South City's richest Zhong family had doted on their beloved daughter for seventeen years, only to find they had doted on the wrong person!
Word had it that the true daughter, Kong Xi...
Chapter 48, Chengjia Brothers and Sisters
When Cheng Yue heard his brother say this, the expression on his face eased a lot.
Okay, just treat it as playing in the water.
In fact, the two of them did just that. The water that was supposed to be used to irrigate the crops was spilled by them while they were playing around. They also trampled on a lot of seedlings, which made the villagers look very unhappy.
Another group of guests seemed to think the same way and did not take the farm work arranged by Kong Xiyan too seriously. Although they were not as perfunctory as Cheng Ze and his sister, they were just pretending. However, Qin Siyang and his sister, who used to go back to the countryside to help their grandfather with farming during holidays, worked very well in the vegetable greenhouse.
In the end, of course, I got the highest score.
Although Zhong Yangyang and Zhong Qihan occasionally pulled out the wrong seedlings while weeding, they were serious about it and received good scores from the villagers, ranking second.
Cheng Ze and his sister were ranked last. At first, Cheng Yue, who had had a lot of fun, was willing to act coquettishly, but when she found that acting coquettishly was useless, she got angry. She first said that Kong Xiyan was difficult to deal with, and asked her to water the plants without giving her rain boots. She also complained that the ground was muddy and difficult to walk on. She also fell and now her whole body was in pain!
"Indeed, when you fell, your butt crushed more than a dozen seedlings! How come your butt is so big!" The villagers were not lenient with her: "Village Chief Xiao Kong, what are we going to do about this loss?"
"Don't worry, Aunt Liu. I'll negotiate with the production team and have them compensate me accordingly." Kong Xiyan promised Aunt Liu, "I'll help you with the replanting later."
Seeing Cheng Yue still complaining, and even saying to Aunt Liu at the end, "Do you know who we are?" Aunt Liu, who had just been coaxed by Kong Xiyan, frowned again, "Who cares who you are?! What's there to make a fuss about? If it weren't for Village Chief Kong, who would be willing to play around with you at this time? You've ruined my fields! Spring fights for days, summer fights for time, but summer is the busiest! Really! You're making trouble!"
Aunt Six was persuaded to leave by Kong Xiyan while cursing. Cheng Yue's face turned red, and Cheng Ze beside her also looked very unhappy.
When the brother and sister learned that they really had to live in that thatched hut splattered with feces and mud, they immediately turned hostile: "No more recording! Whoever wants to record can do it!"
Seeing this, the director team took turns to step forward and try to persuade them, but it was no use.
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room was also flying.
[No way, are you really going to let people live in that shabby place? ]
[I feel like these two are even more pretentious than that dead-beat guy. They were playing while I was working, and even crushed the villagers' rice seedlings. Now they're making a scene again. How dare they do that?]
[I'm sure you're not the one living in a dung-spattered thatched hut! Go check out the Cheng family's businesses before you say such nonsense! Cheng Yue is a true little princess, she only ever stays in five-star hotels!]
[For a moment, I couldn't tell whether I was watching "Dear You!" or "The Metamorphosis."]
June is the busiest time for farm work, and these clueless young masters and princesses are adding to the chaos. No wonder the villagers are angry. If someone came and ruined the fruits of my labor by playing with water during my busiest time, I would definitely be furious too!
[I declare that the pretentious guy is the one I hate the most, and this group is the second most annoying! They all have princess syndrome and prince syndrome!]
When the live broadcast room was noisy, the recording site was also very noisy.
The other guests didn't know what to say when they saw the Cheng brothers and sisters making such a fuss. After all, they didn't want to live in a thatched hut covered in shit.
Finally, the director frowned and spoke: "If you really can't afford it..."
"Who can't afford to play anymore!" Cheng Ze immediately widened his eyes.
"That's right! Who can't afford to play?" Cheng Yue was also angry. She turned her eyes to Kong Xiyan beside her and said, "You! You are the village chief, right? I'll give you 10,000! Get me a room to live in!"
"This is not about money..." Kong Xiyan said hesitantly.
"Ten thousand a day!" Cheng Yue pointed at Kong Xiyan. Seeing her hesitant, he continued to raise the price, as if he was going to fight for his reputation even if it meant spending all his money: "Twenty thousand a day!"
"Please come this way!" Kong Xiyan raised her hand and brought Cheng Ze and Cheng Yue, brother and sister, to a nearby house. Although it looked very simple, it was much better than the thatched house before.
Arriving at the door of the house, Kong Xiyan began to introduce: "This is our village's Feng Shui treasure land. Several college students and village officials have come here. Ordinary people are not allowed to live here!"
Looking around, Cheng Ze and Cheng Yue curled their lips in disdain. Just as they were about to say something, they heard Kong Xiyan continue slowly: "We villagers are simple and honest, and we won't cheat you. Let's use the previous calculation, 10,000 a day, which is 70,000 for seven days.
Of course, if you are not satisfied with this place... it is better to admit that you can't afford it... I understand, it is more comfortable in the city!
You can leave anytime you want, I won't stop you.
After all... our villagers are simple and honest."
"Who can't afford to play?" Cheng Yue said, "Brother! Give me money!"
"Okay!" Cheng Ze immediately took out his mobile phone and transferred 70,000 yuan to Kong Xiyan.
"Then I won't disturb you from resting." Kong Xiyan took the money, turned around and made an [OK] gesture to the director. The director raised a thumbs up and asked the staff to take the other guests to their respective rooms to rest.
After everyone left, the chief director found Kong Xiyan and said with a smile, "No wonder you, Xiao Kong, can become the acting village chief at such a young age. You must have a way!"
If Cheng Ze and his sister had been brought to this house in the beginning, they would definitely not be satisfied. However, compared with the thatched house that was splashed with shit before, this ordinary village house was not so unacceptable.
"That's nothing. Director, please promote our village and take some pictures of the beautiful scenery while filming." Kong Xiyan put her hands behind her back and said, "Director, I won't blackmail you. I'll use this money to compensate the villagers today. If there's any compensation needed later, I'll take it from this too. If there's any left, I'll return it to you."
"No, no, no!" The director quickly waved his hands: "This is given to you by the guest willingly. What else do you need to compensate? Besides, you can keep this money."
Hearing the director say this, Kong Xiyan didn't hesitate any longer. She said goodbye to the director and left.
Here, Cheng Yue, who had already officially moved in, looked at the decoration of the house, the investor's products on the table, and the cameras that had been set up long ago. He came to his senses and said, "Brother, have we been cheated?"
Cheng Ze frowned and said, "That's impossible. The village chief said that the villagers are simple and honest."
"Hmm...that's right," Cheng Yue looked at his brother, thought for a while and nodded: "Who can fool us!"
"That's definitely not possible! Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
[Hahahaha! This is hilarious! I thought he was some nasty young man from out of nowhere, but it turns out he's just the stupid son of a landlord!]
[I saw clear stupidity in the eyes of this brother and sister!]
[Cheating is bad, isn't there anyone who can stop it? ]
"What's the big deal? The directors didn't stop it, probably because they agreed with the village chief. Besides, you don't have to pay for broken things, right? That little village chief, Kong, is really interesting."
[I declare that this group is not the one I hate the most. What I hate the most is the dead pretender! ]
While the live broadcast room was buzzing with comments, the director team notified the guests who had packed their luggage to have dinner together.
After working or playing in the morning, everyone was tired and hungry. When they heard that it was time to eat, they all gathered under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.
A long table had been set up there, with drinks and products from the program's investors on it. After everyone sat down, a bowl of black Chinese medicine was placed in front of everyone. The bitter and strange taste made everyone frown.
"This bowl of Chinese medicine in front of you is made from over ten kinds of herbs from around our village, carefully brewed in a special ratio!" Kong Xiyan appeared at the table again: "Once everyone finishes this bowl of Chinese medicine, we can officially start the meal!"
"What the hell is this! I don't want to drink it!" Cheng Yue frowned and pushed the bowl away.
"This is a specialty of our village. You must drink it." Kong Xiyan continued, "The Chinese medicine in it is very precious."
"I won't drink it! What can you do to me!" Cheng Ze said as he raised the bowl of Chinese medicine in front of him and was about to smash it. Cheng Yue also picked up the bowl of Chinese medicine in front of him and was about to pour it out.
Kong Xiyan continued speaking: "It has the miraculous effect of nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang."
As soon as Kong Xiyan finished speaking, Cheng Ze froze in his action of throwing the bowl, and then he tilted his head back and drank the bowl of Chinese medicine that smelled strange.
Cheng Yue was still a little hesitant: "I'm a woman, and I don't need kidney nourishment."
Before Cheng Yue finished speaking, she heard Kong Xiyan continue, "It can effectively break down fat and is rich in anthocyanins. It is also very effective in anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and delaying the deposition of melanin!"
Cheng Yue picked up the bowl and drank it.
[A man whose life was controlled by kidney nourishment! ]
【A woman whose life is controlled by beauty! 】
[These two can become brother and sister, which is unreasonable yet reasonable in every way! ]
[A Crouching Dragon always has a phoenix chick beside him! ]
[Just a quick aside, women also need to nourish their kidneys, and men also care about their appearance.]
[Okay, okay, a human whose life is dominated by kidney nourishment and beauty! ]
Yes, that's rigorous.
Zhong Xiyan's gaze fell on Zhong Qihan, who looked wary.
This medicine only has a tonic effect on others, but for Zhong Qihan, it can save his life.
