Chapter 13 Let's just give up.

At 9:00 AM on Saturday, the "Together Towards Happiness" program team started filming live, and countless netizens flooded into the live broadcast room.

Sometimes Song Shiwei wanted to ask them, "Don't you need to sleep?"

Why spend your weekend watching other people's lives?

Life is truly dull and tasteless; netizens observe humanity.

The production team: "Our task this morning is very simple: to prepare for our lunch. We will be divided into groups by drawing lots, and each group will complete the task selected."

The production team brought out a ball with six identical ropes hanging down from the middle.

The production team said, "This is actually three ropes folded in half. Next, each teacher can randomly choose a rope. Two people who draw the same rope will form a group. Your task is written in the middle of the rope."

The six people looked at the props, unsure who would draw first.

Song Shiwei looked around, wondering what they were hesitating about.

"Since you're being so polite, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Song Shiwei was the first to grab a rope, and then Chi Yanzhou listlessly picked one up as well.

Xia Zhiqing stared at Chi Yanzhou's movements, looking at the swaying rope, as if trying to find the same rope as him.

The six people chose their ropes, twisted open the small ball, and stared intently at the ropes in their hands.

“Sister Xiyao, we’ll be a team!” Bai Yining untied the task strip in the middle of the rope. “Our task is to clean the room.”

Xia Zhiqing looked at the rope in her hand with slight disappointment. She and Cheng Yi were in a group, and their task was to water the vegetable garden in the Happy Courtyard.

"Huh—"

"Tsk—"

The remaining two people simultaneously expressed their disdain.

Song Shiwei thought to herself, what kind of luck is this? Why didn't they arrange for the main characters to be together? Why did they give me this unlucky thing?

"What's the difference between this and me doing the task alone?" Song Shiwei sighed softly. Chi Yanzhou acted like a king all day long, even complaining that turning over was too tiring.

"You're useless at everything and you can't even finish a single bite of food, how dare you look down on me?"

"At least I drive a tractor better than you."

"Unlock the quest bar first."

Why do I feel like these two have such great chemistry?

Our brother isn't interested.

[Practicing the powerful alliance of the "tanking duo" hahaha]

Song Shiwei struggled to untie the rope, frowning as she looked at the task card. "I would call this task—How to shamelessly freeload."

Chi Yanzhou pulled it over and took a look—the requirement was that the two of them buy the ingredients for lunch without spending any money.

Chi Yanzhou: "If you don't want us to have lunch, you can just say so."

Song Shiwei: "After all, we artists all have to manage our figures."

[Hahaha, what kind of hellish difficulty is this?]

[Why are other people's answers so simple? It's hilarious!]

Go, Zhou Ge! Use your beauty to seduce!

Song Shiwei and Chi Yanzhou went out with vegetable baskets on their shoulders and strolled leisurely along the country road under the scorching sun.

"How about we just go to my older sister's house for a free meal and ignore everyone else?" Song Shiwei decided to betray her teammate.

“I think it makes perfect sense. We can feed ourselves, so why should we pay for their lunch?” Chi Yanzhou thought it was a good idea.

"In life, it's better to trouble others than to make things difficult for yourself."

The two exchanged a knowing glance and decided to go to the kind older sister's house for a meal.

"Teachers, no..." the cameraman interjected.

Song Shiwei looked at him and said, "Life is too short for you to worry about."

The cameraman, carrying his equipment, said in a wronged tone, "The director wouldn't allow it..."

Chi Yanzhou looked at the camera with a warm expression. "The director won't allow it? Who does he think he is?"

The cameraman was inwardly weeping, wondering why he had to follow these two disobedient ancestors!

[Haha, the cameraman is about to cry!]

These two never seem to follow the rules, hahaha.

When the two of them stood at the door of the older sister's house, they found that the door was locked and the older sister's family was not home.

"Everything is going wrong."

"Heaven is going to destroy me."

The two figures looking at the gate appeared exceptionally forlorn, as if dark clouds were floating overhead.

With no other option, the two had to go to the market to "beg".

In the small village, there is a convenient little shop that sells all kinds of things, including fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, and supplies.

Song Shiwei, like a street urchin, had her hands in her pockets and a shopping basket slung over her shoulder.

"People need face, trees need bark, telephone poles need cement, but if you don't need bark, you're invincible!"

"You'll tear your face off and give it to me later. You'll be responsible for being shameless, and I'll be responsible for being thick-skinned," Chi Yanzhou chimed in.

[Haha, why are these two so funny?]

[So this is what Brother Zhou is really like]

The two were quite good with words, but when they were in front of the shop owner, they couldn't utter a single word.

Because the shop owner completely ignored them, set up a table at the entrance, and played mahjong with the villagers.

Song Shiwei and Chi Yanzhou stood by and observed the battle.

"Old Wang, your luck isn't so good today," a villager said with a smile as he collected the money.

"My luck's not good today; I haven't won much all morning," the shop owner said, shaking his head helplessly.

Song Shiwei and Chi Yanzhou stood with their hands behind their backs, their brows furrowed, watching with great interest, having long forgotten their mission.

Tens of thousands of people watched this rural mahjong game in the live stream.

What international competition is this?

Watching gambling online

"Someone's here to deliver the goods, please wait for me a moment." The shop owner stood up.

"How about I play a few rounds for you?" Song Shiwei rubbed her hands together, eager to try.

The boss was quite friendly and nodded, "You can play a couple of rounds for me. If you lose, it's on me; if you win, it's on you."

"You know how to play mahjong?" Chi Yanzhou asked in surprise.

Song Shiwei sat in her seat, her fingers clicking as she said, "Let me, the Little God of Gamblers of the East, have a go at you!"

Song Shiwei blew on her hand and then began to draw cards. The cards she had were not good; there were not many in a row. Her expression was serious, and the cards were arranged haphazardly.

[How did you arrange these cards? Are you a beginner?]

[How dare someone who doesn't know how to play go on stage? I feel sorry for the boss for a minute.]

Song Shiwei drew two hands of cards and then took another set of cards before her hand started to improve.

"Excuse me, everyone, I won by myself."

Song Shiwei laughed as she pushed the cart over, happily opening her arms to wait for the money.

"This little girl is quite capable!" the old lady on the left said with a smile.

"Thank you so much, beautiful lady, for the three strips you gave me earlier."

"Oh my, hahaha." Song Shiwei made the old lady happy.

"Sorry, I won again!"

"Pong! I won!"

"Oh no, I went for the red dragon again and won!"

Holy crap, is this a newbie protection period?

How did she win with such a messy hand?

[He really is the Little God of Gamblers of the East!]

The shop owner, having finished moving the goods sometime earlier, stood behind Song Shiwei, staring intently at her with excitement in his eyes.

After several rounds, Song Shiwei won back all the money the shop owner had lost, and even won a considerable amount extra.

"This little girl is so amazing!"

"You flatter me!"

Song Shiwei leaned back in her chair, one foot on the stool, and played a few hands of cards with great enjoyment.

"Boss, here's your money."

"Oh, no need, it's a deal that if you win, it's yours. But I didn't realize you were so good!" The boss was full of admiration.

"Oh, I was just lucky. Here's the money, but can I take a few dishes from you?"

"Sure, take whatever you want!"

The owner was very kind and filled their shopping baskets with all kinds of vegetables and meat.

"You worked part-time at a casino in Macau, didn't you?" Chi Yanzhou looked at Song Shiwei with newfound respect.

"Hey, my old boss, sexy dealers are dealing cards online, let's have a blast! Welcome to the Venetian Macao!" Song Shiwei casually joked.

"Teach me sometime, okay?"

Song Shiwei looked at Chi Yanzhou triumphantly, "Call me 'Master' and let me hear it."

“I’ll pay your tuition.” Chi Yanzhou silently extended one hand.

"Young Master, which level do you want to learn?" Song Shiwei immediately asked seriously.

"As long as I can beat all my aunts and uncles."

Every year at the family dinner, they like to drag me to play mahjong, and I can lose the equivalent of a whole TV series' salary!

"Don't worry, young master!" Song Shiwei patted her chest and assured him.

Money makes the world go round; Vivi's bicycle turned into a motorcycle!
