Chapter 23 Embarrassment



Feng Wenhe arrived in the third group with his wife Wu Ningwei and son Feng Xuan.

They sold clothes very well, and because they exceeded their sales target, the boss not only paid them 160 yuan in wages, but also gave them an extra 30 yuan bonus.

Therefore, this family generously bought high-speed rail tickets to Anfeng Village.

Just when all the viewers watching the live stream thought that their family would definitely be the first to arrive at Anfeng Village, and Feng Wenhe thought so too, an unexpected event occurred.

In order to train his son, Feng Wenhe specially entrusted all his money to Feng Xuan for safekeeping.

However, after buying the high-speed rail ticket, Feng Wenhe discovered that he was short fifty yuan.

After questioning Feng Xuan, Feng Wenhe guessed that Feng Xuan must have lost the money.

Feng Wenhe immediately got angry and gave Feng Xuan a good scolding.

Normally, if Feng Xuan lost fifty yuan, Feng Wenhe wouldn't care.

But right now, they only have this much money for the show. They have to pay for their travel expenses, accommodation, and other things the production team might ask them to pay. Every penny is precious!

Feng Xuan burst into tears as soon as Feng Wenhe scolded him. Wu Ningwei watched from the side without saying a word or offering any comfort to Feng Xuan.

This wasn't a particularly big deal. Kids always make mistakes; a good scolding will teach them a lesson.

But because of this incident, Feng Wenhe and his group missed their high-speed train and had to rebook for the next one.

When they arrived at the high-speed rail station in the town where Anfeng Village is located, it was already past 7 p.m., and the three of them were both hungry and tired.

Although they didn't have much money left, they gritted their teeth and took a taxi directly to the entrance of Anfeng Village.

By the time they found a farmhouse to stay in, they only had two yuan left.

When Feng Wenhe learned from the photographer that they even had to pay for their own dinner, she was so angry that she forgot to control her expression.

Finally, he used his last two yuan to buy two steamed buns, which his family of three shared...

While Feng Wenhe's family was sharing steamed buns, Zhuo Ranjun's family and Xu Miaotong's family arrived at Anfeng Village one after the other, looking disheveled.

Zhuo Ranjun and her family work in a milk tea shop. She is in charge of taking orders from customers, Ge Zhi is in charge of making milk tea, and Ge Ling is in charge of packaging the made milk tea for customers.

The division of labor was originally quite clear, but because Zhuo Ranjun kept ordering the wrong things, and Ge Zhi spilled several bottles of milk tea while making it, things were quite chaotic.

In the end, they failed to meet the guaranteed sales target and, because they made too many mistakes, the boss deducted 30 yuan from each of them, only giving them 100 yuan in wages.

While waiting for the bus at the station, they were so hungry that they bought three buckets of instant noodles and three grilled sausages.

But the instant noodles and grilled sausages at the bus station were expensive; these few items cost them forty-five yuan.

By the time they settled down in Anfeng Village, they had very little money left.

The most tragic family is Xu Miaotong's.

Xu Miaotong and her team were refused payment by the property management company because they did not clean up the garbage in the villa properly and their work was substandard.

Xu Miaotong pleaded and said a lot of nice things before the property management finally agreed to give them twenty yuan as a favor.

After taking a bus to the bus station in the town where Anfeng Village is located, they transferred to a public bus to the vicinity of Anfeng Village, and then walked to Anfeng Village.

At this point, they only had eleven yuan left, not even enough for lodging.

So they asked the production team for credit and managed to scrape together the accommodation fee.

Then I asked the production team for credit and bought six steamed buns for dinner...

[Waaaaah, Tongtong and Haohao are so pitiful! The property management is so heartless! Tongtong and Haohao did such a great job, the property management should at least pay one person's wages!]

[How is the property management company being heartless? Gao Li and his team didn't even finish cleaning up half of the garbage in the villa area in a whole day. The property management company could have avoided paying a single penny.]

[It's so hot, and the garbage is so dirty and smelly. Tongtong and her colleagues aren't professional cleaners, so it's normal that they're slow to clean up! It's the property management company that's heartless!]

[The Feng Wenhe family is also in a terrible situation. If Feng Xuan hadn't lost the money, they could have arrived at Anfeng Village first in a very relaxed manner, instead of being in such a sorry state.]

[If we're talking about who's in the worst situation, Xu Miaotong and her group are the worst off. They didn't have a single penny left after the whole day, and they even owe the production team money.]

[But Feng Wenhe probably felt his family was the worst off. When he later learned they had to pay for their own dinner, his expression was incredibly grim.]

[+1, I also think Feng Wenhe's expression was very unpleasant, even somewhat frightening, at that time.]

[If we're talking about who had it worse, Zhuo Ranjun and her friends had it pretty bad at the bubble tea shop. Zhuo Ranjun ordered the wrong thing, Ge Zhi spilled the bubble tea, and the two of them blamed each other and argued several times. I felt embarrassed and anxious for them just watching.]

With the last group of guests finding accommodation and having dinner, things were finally settled, and the live stream came to an end.

As the night deepened and all was quiet, the guests all went to sleep.

When Qin Yuanyao got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, she heard arguing outside.

The night is already exceptionally quiet, so people tend to amplify even the smallest noises.

Although the arguing sounded like it was being deliberately kept quiet, it was still very clear.

Qin Yuanyao curiously opened the door to look outside.

The rural road was deserted at night, with only the dim streetlights casting their light on the road.

Most villagers had gone to sleep, with only a few houses still lit up.

The arguing sound seemed to be coming from one of those houses.

The argument grew louder and louder, interspersed with the sound of a child crying.

Several more lights came on, all of them woken up by the arguing.
