Chapter 20



Ming Fu covered his forehead and slapped Jing Ye's hand away in disgust.

I gave him a very sincere suggestion: "Brother, you might be more successful if you become a comedian."

"Brother, I make my living by my looks. Do you know how many people are attracted to my handsome face and are completely obsessed with it? If I were to become a comedian, it would be a waste of my talent and my handsome face. My fans wouldn't agree to that."

Jing Ye pretended to be mysterious and whispered in her ear, "It's mainly because it's not easy for comedians to make a living. If I were to steal their jobs, the audience would be looking at me. How would they even have room to survive?"

Ming Fu laughed at his theory: "Then my brother is really kind."

Jing Ye: "That's right, I have to take the job of people like Brother Haotian."

Pei Haotian was already upset because the situation was hopeless, and now Shan Yanli even called people over to make fun of them.

Just now, after Jing Ye came, he kept chatting and laughing with his sister and never stopped.

Bai Yinyin was also looking at him with worry and sympathy. When had he ever received sympathy in his life, especially from his own woman?

This alone was enough to drive him crazy.

Shan Yanli's crying beside him gave him a headache. He adjusted his breathing and tried to make himself look more relaxed and open-minded.

"Okay, stop crying. It's okay as long as the person is fine. Remember this and don't make the same mistake again."

"I couldn't bear to eat so many things, including beef and braised eggs. I couldn't bear to eat a bite of fruit yesterday." Shan Yanli's crying was not pretty. It was different from her fake crying in ancient costume dramas. This time she was really sad, crying with tears and snot.

Pei Haotian's mood was no worse than Shan Yanli's. He only spoke out to comfort Shan Yanli for the sake of face. He did not have the patience to soothe Shan Yanli's mood.

If she wants to continue crying, then go ahead. He is not in the mood to comfort her.

From the very beginning, Shan Yanli was only concerned with pleasing Pei Haotian and did not get along well with other guests. She had no popularity and was not interested in making friends.

The result now is that she is not very popular among the guests. People like Mingfu siblings and Bai Yinyin are unlikely to comfort her, and Tong Wenping is not a warm-hearted person. Only Shao Yi and Jiang Meng said a few polite words of comfort.

Shan Yanli is a pretentious person. It's okay if no one pays attention to her, but once someone comforts her, she feels even more aggrieved. She keeps mumbling and crying about how miserable she is.

Of course, her main target for pity was Shao Yi, because she knew that Shao Yi and Bai Yinyin had the most food right now. As long as Shao Yi felt sorry for her, he might give her some food.

Unfortunately, her wish failed, as Shao Yi never thought of helping them.

Shan Yanli waited a long time for the words she wanted to hear.

However, Jing Ye's ears were hurt by her crying and he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hey, I told you to stop crying. You don't look good when you cry. Your mouth is puffed up like an old lady's and you can't even see your eyes. If you cry like this, be careful not to scare all your fans away."

Shan Yanli burped, and the annoying crying suddenly stopped.

Jing Ye threatened her with his experience: "As an idol, you should at least have some professionalism. If you cry ugly, then calm down and don't cry, otherwise this will become a black mark on your history."

Shan Yanli was really frightened. Although she felt sad and wanted to cry, she didn't dare to make any expression or sound.

The others tried to persuade him for a long time but failed, Jing Ye solved the problem with just one sentence.

However, Jing Ye did not tell her the fact that she looked equally ugly when she was trying not to cry.

Shao Yi's ears escaped the disaster and he praised Jing Ye: "Teacher Jing Ye is quite experienced and is a qualified idol."

"That must be because my brother suffered the same loss." Ming Fu said.

Her brother has done a lot of things where he has learned from his mistakes. Anyway, he has to suffer a loss every time before he learns his lesson.

Jing Ye didn't like what he heard. He clicked his tongue and said, "You underestimate your brother. First, I won't cry. A real man always sheds blood and sweat, not tears. Second..."

He sneered, "Brother, there's no way I'll ever look bad."

Shao Yi agreed with a smile and said, "That's the truth. Many of the girls in our crew like Teacher Jing Ye and you guys, linkwe. Some even set your photos as their home screen. Some who are not fans also use your brother's photos. When asked, they just say it's pleasing to the eye."

Bai Yinyin nodded and said, "It was the same in the group I was in before. It seemed that when everyone saw pictures of your brother and his friends, they couldn't help but set them as their home screen."

"Is my brother really the most popular in the group? They're only using his photo?" She seemed a little unconvinced.

Ming Fu felt like the Jing Ye she knew was different from the Jing Ye others saw in her eyes. Others described him as handsome, dazzling, and glittering. But Ming Fu's mind was filled with his past shameful behavior: how he lived slovenly and untidy at home, and how he was so focused on showing off at basketball that he got tripped and fell flat on his face by his opponent. There were so many experiences.

Shao Yi and Bai Yinyin were both a little hesitant, as if wondering how to respond. They couldn't just say that it seemed like more girls liked Xu Weixing, otherwise Jing Ye would explode on the spot.

However, Jing Ye never let things slip away, and he took over the conversation naturally.

"Is that even a question? Of course I'm the most popular. In our group, my popularity is way ahead. How else could I be the captain? You just didn't have the energy to pay attention to the entertainment industry before and didn't know the details."

Shao Yi said with a smile: "You are right, your brother is the most popular."

Then Shao Yi put away his smile, looked at the brother and sister once, and sincerely invited them.

"By the way, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, right? Come and have a meal with us this morning."

Bai Yinyin nodded beside her, indicating that she also agreed.

Shao Yi: "I wanted to bring you something last night, but it was dark when we returned to the tent. Without a light, we couldn't even tell the direction, so I didn't come."

Shan Yanli heard what he said and was very unhappy. She had been hinting at it for so long and her voice was hoarse from crying, but Shao Yi didn't show any interest in sharing his food with her.

It must be Bai Yinyin who is gossiping behind my back. This woman is so scheming.

Tong Wenping was not in a good mood after hearing this. He was also hungry. Since Shao Yi wanted to pretend to be generous, he should not be partial. He should at least be fair and give him some.

This is what he thought and he also had this plan to get some benefits from Shao Yi and Bai Yinyin.

But he is a man and is embarrassed to ask for this. It is more appropriate to let a woman like Jiang Meng come forward for this matter. He will not lose anything if Jiang Meng is rejected. At most, he will be considered incompetent in managing the household.

Tong Wenping gave Jiang Meng several glances. Jiang Meng, who was always good at observing people's words and expressions, seemed blind at this moment and was indifferent to Tong Wenping's hints.

Later, he was tired and Jiang Meng was very angry, so he had to give up this idea reluctantly.

Early in the morning, two groups of people came to bring them food, worried that they had nothing to eat. The brother and sister said it was impossible not to be touched.

Jing Ye: "I'm sorry you're still thinking about us, but don't worry. I spent an hour rummaging through the junk last night, and luckily I got lucky and found our supplies."

Hearing this, Shan Yanli thought about what she had done yesterday and was afraid that Jing Ye would bring up the past and embarrass her again.

She avoided the sight guiltily, and no longer dared to think about the supplies of Shao Yi and his team. She turned around and threw the biggest problem to Pei Haotian.

"Brother Pei, what should we do? What should we eat?"

Pei Haotian didn't want to pay attention to her. He only knew to ask what to do every day. He only knew what to do. It would cause trouble for him. He was like a waste. He couldn't do even the smallest thing. She was the one who put the supply bag after eating the food yesterday, and what happened?

Now she wants to throw the food crisis to him. What? Do she owe her anything?

The more Pei Haotian thought about it, the angrier he became. He really wanted to part ways with her and live their own lives.

No matter what he thought, Pei Haotian still didn't say what was in his heart, as it would be unmannerly of him.

"Then what do you think we can eat?" Pei Haotian asked her coldly.

Shan Yanli wants to sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor, just sitting there eating without using her brain or hands? Don't even think about it!

"Ah? Ask me?" Shan Yanli was confused. He didn't expect Pei Haotian to throw the question back to her and wait for her to find a solution.

At this time, Shan Yanli heard Shao Yi and Jing Ye chatting again: "How much food do you have left? How long can you and your sister eat it?"

Although the brother and sister had finished their supplies, Jing Ye knew what was going on.

He can question the abilities of others, but he is extremely confident in his own abilities.

"I didn't find much food, but that's okay. Don't be fooled by my idol-like appearance. My strength is just as good as my beauty. I can easily catch a bucket of fish in the sea. How could I let my sister starve?"

When Shan Yanli heard the word "sea", she suddenly had an idea.

She said to Pei Haotian: "Isn't the sea full of seafood? Let's go catch them."

Since Shan Yanli could think of catching seafood in the sea, Pei Haotian naturally thought of it as well. In fact, after he found that the food was wasted, he began to think of ways. After thinking about it, he realized that the prey on the island were elusive, and food in the sea was the easiest to obtain.

"Going fishing in the sea is definitely an option," Tong Wenping agreed. "Besides, with so many of us, we'll all face food problems sooner or later. Why don't we work together and clearly divide the work? Some people will be responsible for chasing the fish, while others will focus on catching them, improving our fishing efficiency."

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean!" Shan Yanli's eyes lit up when she heard someone agree with her.

Tong Wenping looked around and asked, "Does everyone have any objection to my proposal?"

Pei Haotian had no objection. It was always better to have someone to cooperate with than to be alone.

Tong Wenping didn't hear any other voices. He thought everyone agreed to his proposal. Just when he was about to express his opinion and assign tasks, someone spoke.

"I have a problem."

Jing Ye stood with his legs apart, his elbows resting on Ming Fu's shoulders, and said lazily, "When you say everyone, does that include me and my sister?"

"Don't you want to join us?" Tong Wenping only asked Jing Ye. He tacitly acknowledged that Ming Fu and his sister were idle.

"It's not that I don't want to..."

Jing Ye was halfway through his words when Ming Fu felt he was too heavy and pushed away his elbow that was pressing on his shoulder.

He had no choice but to stand up straight, and said with a playful smile: "You also know that my house collapsed. My main task today is to repair it. If you are generous and include me and my sister in the group and share some food with us, then I won't be polite to you."

Pei Haotian had never seen anyone more shameless than him. If he wanted to eat for free, he would just say it directly without any psychological burden.

"Whether we can catch fish is still uncertain. If you want to repair the house, you'd better make other plans. Repairing a house is a physical job and requires a lot of food. If we come back empty-handed, you and your sister will starve."

Jing Ye was not sad at all when his offer of free sex was rejected. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked quite happy: "Brother Haotian, please don't be so formal. When I repair the house and get some food, I will definitely share it with you."

Pei Haotian would never believe his lies. If he agreed, Jing Ye would be able to repair the house until the end of the show.

Tong Wenping also saw that Jing Ye was an unreliable person and automatically classified him as uncooperative.

Shao Yi and Bai Yinyin are not short of food for the time being, which is different from their current situation, so it is not suitable for them to cooperate with them.

So far, the two groups of three have basically reached a consensus to catch food together and share the food equally.

Jiang Meng did not express any opinion because she did not need to express any opinion. Tong Wenping was the head of the family and he could make decisions for Jiang Meng.

After the two groups formed an alliance, Tong Wenping took on the task of assigning work.

He likes to take the initiative in everything. He has the most experience in their alliance and makes a living with his pen and brain, so he is the most qualified to assign tasks.

There was originally nothing for the brother and sister to do here, but Jing Ye was not in a hurry to leave. He even pulled Ming Fu to continue watching their fun with relish.

Tong Wenping was quite competent in assigning tasks.

"Our first task is to make work assignments. Let me first find out who among you is more familiar with water?" He asked Pei Haotian and Shan Yanli.

Shan Yanli was the first to shake her head. She was very smart and knew that being able to swim was not a good thing. As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. People who can swim must go into the water.

Pei Haotian didn't want to go into the water, but his fans knew that he could swim, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "I can."

Tong Wenping: "You are the only one among us who is familiar with water. I would like you to go to the sea first to find out what kind of seafood we can catch in this area."

Pei Haotian didn't expect this to happen. He was the only one going into the sea.

But the words have been spoken, and you have to go even if you don’t want to. You can’t lose face.

Tong Wenping: "And our female comrades will be responsible for finding hemp ropes to weave into fishing nets. We'll make them as big as we can with the available materials, the bigger the better. Once Mr. Pei has finished investigating the conditions in the sea and our nets are ready, we can go fishing."

Those who sit at home all day making up stories look at problems too idealistically. Their rationality is very full and they don't consider the actual application effects at all.

But the other members of their alliance lacked life experience and were even more idealistic than Tong Wenping. They all thought this method was feasible, and they finally had a goal to strive for.

Ming Fu shook her head after hearing this. It was not that she did not think highly of their idea, but that they were too naive.

She kindly reminded him, "Fishing nets have a specific mesh size. Normally, nets used for catching fish are between one and two fingers wide. Wider ones are for catching larger fish, as there aren't large fish in shallow waters. Also, nets woven from hemp rope aren't sturdy enough, and they can't guarantee they'll stay in the water. Instead of spending time weaving nets, it's better for everyone to make a rod and fish, or go fishing at sea to pick up leftovers. This area is rich in resources; you can find clams, conchs, shells, octopus, and more right on the beach, and even barnacles on the reefs."

"If you don't want to go out to sea, there's plenty of food on the island. There are coconuts and cactus fruits on the trees, and there are wild potatoes and cassava in the fields. It's easy to get these foods with a little effort, and it's safer than blindly going out to sea to fish."

Mingfu's analysis was well-reasoned and her suggestions were pertinent, but her words were unpleasant to the ears, or it could be said that some people did not want to hear them.

Tong Wenping didn't look very happy. Wasn't this just ruining his plan?

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Our plan hasn't been implemented yet. How do you know what shape our net will be? Will it definitely catch no fish and be scrapped once it's put into the water?"

Compared with the scenes of bountiful harvests from fishing nets seen on TV, Mingfu’s suggestion of going to the sea was just enough to fill their stomachs.

How could Tong Wenping be content with this? He just wanted to eat the fish with big mouthfuls.

Jing Ye rolled his eyes. He didn't appreciate it even though I showed him a way to survive. It was really a case of good intentions not being rewarded.

He pretended to teach Mingfu a lesson: "Brother Afu has to teach you a lesson. You can't judge people by their photos alone. They are very capable and have experienced more than you have. You haven't seen anything, so why should you say anything?"

Although Jing Ye was scolding Ming Fu on the surface, everyone could tell from the sarcastic tone that he was dissatisfied with Tong Wenping.

Tong Wen flatly frowned and exhaled heavily through his nostrils.

"I don't mean to blame you, but your sister threw cold water on us as soon as she opened her mouth. What's wrong with that? Since we have already discussed the plan, it means we have it in mind and don't need you to express your opinions."

Jing Ye folded his hands leisurely and said with a smile, "Aren't we brothers and sisters ignorant? That's why we're curious about everything. It's just that we weren't knowledgeable enough to understand your plan, and we didn't control our mouths."

This was probably the time when Tong Wenping could empathize most with Pei Haotian. He was so angry at Pei Haotian's sarcasm, but he couldn't think of any words to fight back.

Jing Ye is shameless, but he is a decent man, and the only solution is to ignore it.

Tong Wenping didn't want to pay attention to him, but Jing Ye had no intention of letting him go.

"Jiang Jie's husband, I think you distribute the work very well, which makes me admire you very much. However, there is a question I don't understand, and I hope you can help me answer it."

As soon as he opened his mouth, something bad happened. Tong Wenping didn't respond.

But it doesn’t matter whether Tong Wenping pays attention to him or not, it doesn’t affect Jing Ye’s performance at all.

"I see you've arranged everything. Excuse me, but what's your position on the team and what are your main responsibilities?"

After Jing Ye's reminder, Pei Haotian and Shan Yanli suddenly realized that, yes, Tong Wenping had arranged everything for them, but he himself had not yet figured out what to do.

The pressure of the two people's four eyes was concentrated on Tong Wenping, and Tong Wenping had to respond positively.

But he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday, and he was so hungry that his eyes were blurry. What could he do?

He could only say with a gloomy face: "I am currently mainly responsible for dispatching. I will do whatever is needed."

In short, it's a blank check.

Jing Ye chuckled, unable to stop the smile on his face: "Oh, after all this talk, you don't do anything, so you're just like a dog lifting the curtain, relying on your mouth?"

Pei Haotian realized belatedly that he seemed to have been tricked.

He has known Jing Ye for so long, and every time he was the one who got angry at Jing Ye. This was the first time he felt that Jing Ye's words were satisfying.

What a good scolding.

Tong Wenping did nothing but arranged for his wife to come in, hoping to trick her into helping him with the work?

No matter how hardworking his wife was, how much work could she possibly do alone? In the end, Pei Haotian still had to do the lion's share.

Jing Ye successfully ruined their alliance and left with Ming Fu with satisfaction.

The audience was also talking about it.

I never thought Tong Wenping was this kind of person. The children's science fiction drama he wrote has been with me since I was a kid, and I still love it. It's my daily go-to for dinner.

I also have a childhood filter for his children's drama. When I heard that he was going to film a show, I looked forward to it for a long time, because in my mind he has always been an intelligent, humorous and knowledgeable person.

[After observing the whole process, I found him so chauvinistic. My god, what does it matter if he has talent? Being his wife is so suffocating. Thank you for successfully making me afraid of marriage.]

[I feel so sorry for Sister Jiang Meng. She's such a nice person, warm-hearted and gentle, but how could she have found such a scumbag?! I can't understand it. She really deserves better!]

Although Tong Wenping has many shortcomings, to be honest, he's famous and makes a lot of money. Marriage is about getting by, and having a partner is the key to a comfortable life. My sister is not young anymore, and leaving him doesn't necessarily mean she'll find someone better.

[I don't like to hear this. Can't I just start my own business? Isn't it cool to live alone? Do I have to find a man to serve me?]

[Of course you can live a carefree life if you can make money on your own, but the key is whether your sister has the ability to make money. If you can't make money, then there's nothing to talk about. Just make do with what you have.]

[My question is, what does your sister do? Is she a housewife? This is the first time I've heard her name.]

No one could figure out what Jiang Meng did, and the focus of the discussion shifted to Pei Haotian, with his fans all applauding and congratulating him.

[Hahaha, you still want to get my brother Tian for free, you are quite calculating]

[Jing Ye's scolding was beautiful. I feel great. Thank you Jing Ye on behalf of our Tian Ge.]

[Thank Jing Ye +1 on behalf of Brother Tian]

[Looking at Jing Ye today, he looks much more handsome]

If Jing Ye knew that Pei Haotian’s fans were thanking him and putting their names together, he would be disgusted to death.

He had no good intentions. He just wanted to create an alliance between Huang Pei Haotian and Tong Wenping, not to let Pei Haotian take advantage.

The brother and sister walked all the way back to the shelter they had half built.

Just as Jing Ye said, his main task today was to build a house. He couldn't let his sister sleep in the house made of banana leaves tonight.

He was clearly wearing a short-sleeved shirt and even pretended to roll up his sleeves before working.

Ming Fu was also ready to lend a hand, but was stopped by Jing Ye.

"Stand still and go play somewhere else. I'll leave everything here to my brother."

"How long will you be busy alone?"

"Brother, I'm incredibly gifted, you know that?" He raised his eyebrows at Ming Fu with a beaming expression, puffing out his biceps and patting them. "See my muscular build? Even though I was exhausted yesterday, I slept like a dog and woke up this morning feeling fine. No pain anywhere, and I'm full of energy and vitality. I could even carry six planks in one breath without breaking a sweat."

He pinched Ming Fu's limp arms and curled his lips in disdain: "You're different. Your little hands and arms must be hurting today."

Mingfu's hands were indeed a little sore after he had massaged him for more than an hour last night to relax his muscles and promote blood circulation.

The author has something to say:

Since we're all family, I won't hide it from you all. I still have quite a few hidden idioms_(:з」∠)_
