Chapter 14: The son of a wealthy family 14: The wealthy lady
Before Fu Yuanbo could digest the news, the staff urged him, "According to our program procedures, Yuanbo, you must come with us now."
[Hahahaha, changing moms! This part is a bit exciting.]
[What a coincidence for Fu Yuanbo and Fu Zhongyan. They're going back to their own homes and looking for their own mothers.]
[These two originally lived with their adoptive mothers, but today's segment unexpectedly drew their respective biological mothers. This is quite interesting. Do you think they get along better with their adoptive mothers or their biological mothers?]
I think Fu Zhongyan is a no-brainer; he'll definitely get along better with Fang's mother. Fu Yuanbo is a bit more difficult to say, as he's been getting along well with his adoptive mother these past two days.
Am I the only one feeling sorry for Shi Xinning? Taking care of a crying little girl is hard enough, and now she has to take care of a boy too. It's really not easy!
I think Lu Bo is the worst off. Even though his mom isn't a great cook, at least her house is quiet. If I go to Shi Xinning's place today, I'm sure I'll be annoyed by her crying.
At this time, Fu Yuanbo did not move despite the urging of the staff, and subconsciously looked at Chen Qian.
"Go." Shen Qian just said these two words lightly.
Fu Yuanbo's pupils narrowed slightly, and he turned around and followed the staff.
He felt a little empty in his heart. This scene seemed familiar...
Yes, wasn’t that what happened when the Fu family sent people to the village to pick him up?
She stood in the yard and saw him off in the same way, watching him get into the car.
Finally, she said these two words: "Go..."
It was as common as sending him to another house in the village to play and having him come back the same day.
As a result, they were separated for ten years...
However, this emotion did not seem too strong. Perhaps it was the two days of getting along that gave Fu Yuanbo some courage and confidence. He felt that his adoptive mother did not seem to care about him as much as he imagined.
She could guess what he was thinking, cook delicious food for him, and even last night, she had a heart-to-heart talk with him away from the cameras.
His originally anxious heart gradually settled down. Fu Yuanbo stopped thinking about it and followed the staff to Yard No. 1.
At this time, Fang Yuyun was already waiting at the gate of Courtyard No. 1. Seeing Fu Yuanbo coming from afar, she waved to him enthusiastically.
"Yuanbo, you're here."
Her smile was appropriate and gentle.
Today, Fang Yuyun's outfit was simple yet elegant and graceful, and she still looked like an elegant lady.
"Mother..." Fu Yuanbo called obediently as he walked up to Fang Yuyun.
Compared to facing Shen Qian, it didn't seem difficult to call Fang Yuyun mother.
However, only Fu Yuanbo himself knew that this was the psychological safety line he set for himself when he first arrived at the Fu family.
He could call his mother, but he refused to call her mom.
The name "mother" has a very special meaning in his heart. He stopped using this name when he was 6 years old.
Today's mother-changing segment was also specially arranged by Fang Yuyun. She heard from her assistant last night that yesterday's live broadcast data was still not good. Strangely enough, the popularity of Chen Qian and Fu Yuanbo's live broadcast rooms has always been good. They obviously didn't do any farm work, digging wild vegetables in the morning and making fruit tea in the afternoon. There was even little interaction between the two, but netizens just liked to watch it.
This can't go on. She came to the show to change her son's fate. If Fu Yuanbo doesn't suffer, her son will be the one who suffers.
Only by letting Fu Yuanbo behave inappropriately on the show and lose the audience's favor can all his luck be transferred to his son, and Fu Zhongyan can have a smooth career in the entertainment industry.
Since she failed to achieve her goal, Fang Yuyun naturally had to find another way. There were many ways to stimulate Fu Yuanbo, and the most effective one was naturally to let him see that Chen Qian actually loved her biological son.
Nothing could be more lethal than this.
"Mother, is there anything I can do for you?" Fu Yuanbo asked.
"It's nothing. We haven't spent time together like this for a long time. Now that you're here, you're my little guest. I'll take you for a walk around the neighborhood first."
Although the tone was very cordial, Fu Yuanbo frowned. Fang Yuyun was always like this to him, polite but not like a family member.
This morning, Fang Yuyun took him for a walk around Yard No. 1. After returning to the yard, Fang Yuyun took Fu Yuanbo to sit under a tree. Fang Yuyun took out a set of tea sets with an ancient charm.
The teacup is as smooth as jade, white with a hint of green, and feels delicate. It is obvious at first glance that it is worth a lot of money.
Fang Yuyun fiddled with the tea set gracefully while explaining in a gentle voice.
"Today I'm going to make you a pot of Da Hong Pao from Wuyi Mountain. This is a rare tea from an old tree. It costs millions per kilogram at the auction, and many people are vying for it, so you may not be able to buy it."
[Wow, millions per jin, is this the life of a wealthy lady?]
[This little bit of tea on the table feels like it could be enough for the down payment on my house. ]
[I feel that tea leaves are secondary. If you look closely at the tea set, it must be worth a lot of money! ]
[I was stunned... I knelt down to watch the entire thing.]
Fang Yuyun picked up the better kettle, which was made of blue and white porcelain with a smooth glaze and beautiful spout. The freshly boiled water was steaming. She gracefully poured the boiling water into the purple clay teapot, and the tea leaves were instantly fragrant.
"The first water is to wake up the tea..."
Fang Yuyun explained everything in detail, as if teaching Fu Yuanbo what to do.
Halfway through the conversation, he seemed to mention with some emotion: "Xiaoyan has followed me since he was a child, and he learns these things very quickly." Fang Yuyun mentioned Fu Zhongyan intentionally or unintentionally, and Fu Yuanbo just nodded silently after hearing it, without any other reaction.
This tea is so atmospheric! I instantly felt like I learned something new.
[Wow, Madam Fang is indeed a wealthy lady. Every gesture she makes is so graceful!]
[It feels like when Fu Yuanbo sits with Fang's mother, he becomes more like a nobleman! ]
[Hahaha, I think it’s more fun for Fu Yuanbo to climb the mountain and pick wild vegetables with Mother Shen. ]
[I also think that a rich and noble son is not as fun as a peasant boy. ]
It's strange to say, but Fu Yuanbo recalled that before going on the show, he was still looking forward to his mother accompanying him on the show so that they could spend more time together.
Today's wish has been fulfilled in a disguised way, but Fu Yuanbo's heart is calm.
Moreover, he found that although he was apparently listening to his mother's tea classics, he was actually distracted from time to time. What he thought about from time to time was that he didn't know how his adoptive mother and Fu Zhongyan got along.
Would adoptive mother... prefer to stay with Fu Zhongyan?
What would she do with him this morning? Oh, yes, the production team distributed seeds and fertilizers yesterday. Would she take him to work in the fields?
Fu Yuanbo suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. He did not think about where the discomfort came from. There were many cameras around him shooting at his face. He forced himself to suppress the emotion and patiently listened to Fang Yuyun talking about the tea classics, which had no interest in him at all.
I have to say that this tea is quite fragrant, but Fu Yuanbo has no research on it and can't taste the difference between a pound of tea worth millions and ordinary tea.
He couldn't help but miss the peach fruit tea that his adoptive mother made for him yesterday. Drinking that tea made his heart sweet.
After finally making it to noon, Fang Yuyun went into the kitchen and cooked two dishes. Since there was an abundance of ingredients in Courtyard No. 1, Fang Yuyun cooked a pan-fried steak. Top-quality ingredients only required simple cooking and the taste was indeed good. However, Fu Yuanbo was preoccupied and concerned about Chen Qian. Even though he and Fang Yuyun tried their best to act, their interaction felt a bit awkward, and Fu Yuanbo gradually became unable to stay any longer.
So... this is what it’s like to be alone with your mother.
It was good, but I wouldn't want to stay longer.
Fu Yuanbo actually missed the courtyard No. 3 where he had lived for just two days. He missed his adoptive mother's cooking skills and thought about when she would make fermented black beans for him, as she had already gotten them last night.
After dinner, Fu Yuanbo quickly washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen, then asked to go home.
Fang Yuyun had been observing Fu Yuanbo's reaction. From his small movements, it could be seen that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. It was obvious that he cared a lot about Fu Zhongyan's visit to Shen Qian.
This made Fang Yuyun very satisfied. It was right that she cared about him. When he returned, as long as he found out that Shen Qian was expressing her true feelings towards Fu Zhongyan, he would understand that Shen Qian's love for him was all superficial. She was actually a rural woman, and what she cared about most in her heart was blood relationship.
Even though she had not raised Fu Zhongyan herself, as long as she believed that Fu Zhongyan was her biological son, she would treat him differently.
"It's better to go back early." Fang Yuyun said with a smile, and sent him to the door: "Come and play again when you have time."
A simple sentence drew a clear line: he could come, but he was just an outsider, a guest.
Just like the treatment he received in the Fu family.
Shen Qian is the only family affection he has. When he returns and finds Shen Qian and Fu Zhongyan getting along so warmly, he will definitely have an emotional breakdown!
[Have you noticed that although Fang's mother is very generous, her attitude towards Fu Yuanbo is a little different from that towards her own son.]
[Yeah, how should I put it, the way these two get along is a little weird, a bit polite.]
[Ah, maybe that's just how wealthy families are, focusing more on superficial things. Maybe that's just how they normally get along.]
[But...Mother Fang doesn't feel that polite towards Fu Zhongyan...]
There were some discussions in the barrage, but more people were still marveling at the glimpse of the luxurious and wealthy life that Fang Yuyun showed.
Fu Yuanbo, who came out of Yard No. 1, quickened his pace and headed towards home.
On the way, he saw Fu Zhongyan taking another road from afar. The roads in the village were originally interconnected, and Fu Yuanbo did not choose to meet him and turned into a small road.
When this nominal brother met him at the Fu family, he was too lazy to even say a few words to him, and he didn't want to do those superficial efforts.
After seeing Fu Zhongyan, Fu Yuanbo quickened his pace. When he returned to the familiar Courtyard No. 3, he couldn't help but slow down and walked in slowly.
Shen Qian squatted in a corner of the yard, not knowing what he was busy with.
Fu Yuanbo walked over, took a deep breath, and then said, "I... am back."
He could call Fang Yuyun by that name easily, but he could never bring himself to call his adoptive mother by that name.
Shen Qian turned around and glanced at him: "So soon, are you taking a nap today?"
Fu Yuanbo was stunned: "No, I won't sleep anymore."
In fact, he didn't have the habit of taking a nap. He only excused himself to take a nap yesterday because he was in a bad mood.
Shen Qian replied, "If you don't want to sleep, then help me work in the afternoon. I haven't done any work in the fields yet."
Fu Yuanbo was a little surprised: "Didn't Fu Zhongyan come this morning? Didn't you ask him to help you?"
Shen Qian took out the soaked seeds from the pot and said, "Didn't you insist on me teaching you yesterday? I took Fu Zhongyan to clean the yard this morning and didn't go to work in the fields."
Fu Yuanbo was delighted to hear this. He had been restless the whole morning, always wondering whether his adoptive mother would get along better with Fu Zhongyan, or whether she would abandon him after having her own biological son.
But when he found out that his adoptive mother had really remembered what he said yesterday and was worried about it, she even didn't take Fu Zhongyan to work in the fields today in order to wait for him.
The bitterness in his heart completely disappeared, replaced by indescribable joy.
But Fu Yuanbo still said, "He's right. He has never done this before."
Shen Qian laughed when he heard this: "Haven't you ever done farm work?"
"How can I be the same as him? I lived in the countryside when I was a child. Besides, if I don't know something, I can learn it. Let's go. What do you need me to do?" Fu Yuanbo asked hurriedly.
