Chapter 22
Xiong Qin's sister-in-law was no slouch. A well-known shrew in the surrounding area, she immediately engaged in a fistfight with Xiong Ma, attacking each other. "I told you to hit me! Haha, I'll curse your idiot son to death! I urge you to be kind and do good deeds. Give me the demolition compensation I deserve, or else your son might suffer the consequences."
Mother Xiong was furious and started beating and kicking Aunt Xiong Qin.
Xiong Qin rushed over and tried to separate the people, but it was of no use at all.
Seeing that Xiong Qin was not helping and was trying to stop her, Xiong's mother slapped her in the face, "You stupid girl, you watched me being bullied by your aunt and not only did you not help me, but you also hindered me. I'd rather have a dog than you!"
Xiong Qin covered her face and cried, "Mom!"
Seeing this, Xiong Qin's aunt got up from the ground, looked at Xiong Qin, then at Xiong's mother, and laughed heartily, with her hands on her hips. She said cheerfully, "Xiao Qin, your mother, that old whore, is so cruel to you. It was clearly your brother who drowned because he was playing around and became stupid, but she insisted on tricking him into thinking he was saving you! Hahaha! You've been fooled by your mother, don't you know?!"
Seeing her mother's fury, Aunt Xiong Qin was even more pleased. She added fuel to the fire, "I didn't lie. The whole village knows what happened back then!"
Xiong Qin was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes. "Mom, is this true?!"
Mother Xiong's eyes flickered and dodged, and she rushed towards Aunt Xiong Qin, "You bitch! I told you not to talk nonsense! I told you not to talk nonsense!! If no one asks about my son in the future, I will kill you!"
Xiong Qin staggered back. Xiong Ma's behavior had already proved what her aunt said. What else was there to not understand?
Why did you lie to me, why did you lie to me!
I have been burdened with guilt since childhood and cannot sleep day and night.
In order to take care of his brother, he even dropped out of school!
Xiong Qin's tears fell silently, and she asked her mother: "Why did you lie to me?"
Mother Xiong said confidently: "What if I am gone and you don't support your brother?"
Xiong Qin: "He is my brother. Even if he is a fool, I will take care of him for the rest of my life. Why did you lie to me?"
Mother Xiong sneered, "You talk better than you sing. Once a woman gets married, she belongs to her husband's family. I'm not lying to you, would you be willing to take care of your brother?! If you were willing, you wouldn't be questioning me now! I was right. My daughters are all debt collectors, useless as money-losers!"
Netizens watching the live broadcast were furious when they saw this scene.
[This old witch is so self-righteous. She even feels wronged after harming her daughter!]
[Dog bites dog, unexpectedly such a shocking secret was revealed! ]
"Have you eaten melon today?" is truly divine. I bow down before you and worship you.
[Xiong Qin is so miserable, she might as well cut off all ties with her parents.]
[This kind of person is not worthy of being a parent! ]
[Stupid and ignorant! How could such a person exist?!]
[Oh my god, luckily I live in a happy family. My parents love me very much.]
What a bloody drama caused by demolition.
[Having this kind of primitive family will make you suffer for the rest of your life. ]
In the live broadcast, the scene was in chaos.
Xiong Qin's sister-in-law vowed to demand a fair explanation from the village director and refused to give in.
Xiong's mother refused to agree, saying that the house belonged to them and that Xiong Qin's sister-in-law couldn't take a penny of the demolition money.
Xiong Qin was stunned and dazed, tears streaming down her face with pain in her eyes.
After making such a fool of himself and seeing so much ridicule, the village director shouted angrily: "Enough!"
The director and assistant director of the program looked at each other and decided to end the meal early.
The guests dispersed.
Under the moonlight, adults took their children for a walk, laughing, playing, and fighting, and the time was peaceful.
Nan Tao: "There are so many wonders in this world."
Jiang Hui: "It's very common to favor sons over daughters in rural areas, but it's the daughter who caused the son to become stupid and brainwashed. This is the first time I've seen this happen."
Wen Manqing: "I've learned a lot."
Zhou Mei: "Girls must have the opportunity to leave the mountains and their families."
Nan Tao teased: "You can speak long sentences."
Zhou Mei glanced at Nan Tao and took Yang Xuan into the house.
Nan Tao waved to Xiao Yangxuan: "See you tomorrow, good night."
Grandma Yang Xuan said cutely, "Good night, Auntie Taozi."
When they reached the fork in the road, Nan Tao said goodbye to Jiang Hui, Wen Manqing and the others and left.
Nan Tao held Yu Ze's hand and strolled slowly along the path.
When they reached the front of the yard, Nan Tao suggested, "Baby, let's sit at the door for a while."
Nan Tao was not particular about details and sat down on the dirt road at the door.
The dirt road is very narrow. Looking down not far away, there is a hillside with many tall naturally grown trees. Looking into the distance, there are layers of mountains. Under the moonlight, the mountains exude a mysterious beauty.
Yu Zexue and Nan Tao also sat down on the ground, but they didn't notice there was a stone on the ground. They sat down suddenly and it hit their buttocks, causing them to cry out in pain.
Nan Tao laughed and said, "Look carefully before you sit down. Does it hurt? Mommy will rub your butt for you."
Yu Ze blushed, but luckily it was night and he couldn't see, so he quickly refused: "No, Mommy, it doesn't hurt."
Nan Tao casually touched the ground and patted the empty space on the left side of her: "Come here, son, sit here."
Yu Ze carefully checked the ground and sat down with peace of mind after confirming that there were no stones.
Nan Tao asked, "Baby, are you happy to be on this show?"
Yu Ze raised his lips slightly: "Yeah, happy."
Nan Tao: "Do you like Xiao Tongtong or Xiao Xuanxuan?"
Yu Ze: “I like them all.”
Nan Tao: "Which one do you like best? Mommy can arrange a marriage for you so that you can cultivate your relationship from a young age, haha..."
Yu Ze pursed his lips and raised his voice: "Mommy!"
Nan Tao: "Okay, okay, Mommy won't joke with you anymore. What does Xiao Zeze want to be when he grows up? Mommy is curious."
Yu Ze pondered, "I want to be as awesome as my dad!"
Nan Tao: "Ah, your father, but he's a workaholic. How boring! He spends all day working, and he loses so much fun in life."
Yu Ze said angrily: "Mommy, you don't understand."
Nan Tao: "Do you like acting? You can become a big star when you grow up. If you don't, mom will definitely support you if you become a scientist."
Yu Ze was very firm: "No."
Nan Tao sighed, "Alright, whatever. You're still young now, and you might change your mind when you grow up. When I was little, I dreamed of becoming a dancer, a pianist, a painter... so many things, but you see, none of them came true."
Netizens watching the live broadcast laughed out loud when they heard the conversation between the mother and son.
[Peach is so funny, hahahaha…]
[Laughing like a pig, Taozi wants to be everything.]
【By the way, haven't you guys figured out Peach's husband yet? 】
[Curious about who Taozi's husband is? ]
Nan Tao and her son talked a lot again. Of course, it was basically Nan Tao who was talking unilaterally.
Yu Ze felt sleepy after listening to it, and his head drooped down from time to time.
Nan Tao gently picked up Yu Ze and carried him into the house. After wiping his face with a towel, she cleaned herself up and went to bed.
The next morning,
Nan Tao yawned and brought Yu Ze to the gathering place.
I guess everyone went to bed very late yesterday and everyone is bleary-eyed.
The village chief said, "The following is today's breakfast, a hearty serving of wontons and steamed dumplings, which are the local specialties here."
Nan Tao: "What game are we playing this time?"
The village chief smiled and said, "No games today, just enjoy yourselves."
Nan Tao was suspicious: "Are you so kind?"
After Wen Manqing realized what was happening, she asked gently, "Really?"
Zhou Mei: "Eat first, then talk."
Jiang Hui took Zhan Li by the hand and asked, "Do you like it? Do you want chili?"
Zhan Li nodded: "Yes."
Jiang Hui smiled and said, "You are like me, I like eating chili peppers too."
She liked the child very much after spending the past two days together, but after the recording of the program was completed, the two would have to separate. Thinking that Zhan Li was going back to the orphanage, Jiang Hui felt a little reluctant and had an idea.
After breakfast, the village chief announced that today’s task was to help the villagers pick watermelons in the orchard.
July is the peak season for watermelons. The watermelons in the fields are big and green, and each one looks delicious and tempting.
The children dragged their bamboo baskets across the ground, looking for the biggest watermelon.
Yang Xuan was young and short. She tried to pull the watermelon but couldn't get it out. She sat down on the ground and giggled foolishly.
Zhan Li was speechless. He squatted down and asked, "Are you hurt?"
Yang Xuan smiled foolishly and said softly, "It doesn't hurt."
The soil in the watermelon field is soft, so it doesn't hurt if you fall.
Zhan Li asked: "Do you want this watermelon?"
Yang Xuan nodded: "Yeah, this one is big."
Zhan Li held the watermelon with both hands and pulled hard, breaking the roots and pulling it out.
Yang Xuan clapped her hands and cheered, "Brother Zhan is so awesome!"
Zhan Li lowered his eyes, his long bangs covering his expression. He put the watermelon into the bamboo basket, then pulled Yang Xuan up and said, "Let's go."
On the other side, Zhang Tong ran over like a little butterfly, saying, "Pick some for yourself."
Zhang Tong peeked into the bamboo basket and said, "Wow, this watermelon is so big... Yu Ze, come over and take a look."
Yu Ze came over dragging a bamboo basket, "Yeah, it's very big."
Four children were happily playing and picking fruits in the fields, while the adults were exhausted and sweating profusely.
Nan Tao wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I'm so tired."
Wen Manqing panted: "No, I need to rest for a while."
Jiang Hui and Zhou Mei seconded the motion.
Seeing that they were tired and thirsty, the villagers picked a watermelon from the field, patted and knocked it to listen to the sound, then chose the sweetest one, cut it horizontally with a knife, and put the pieces on a plate to serve to the guests.
Nan Tao and the others expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
After eating the watermelon, we continued to work and even had lunch in the orchard. We were busy until the evening and finally picked all the watermelons.
Everyone returned to the gathering place and stood in rows to listen to the village chief speak.
The village chief said: "This episode has been recorded. Thank you to all the netizens who watched the live broadcast online, and to all the mothers and babies for their wonderful performances. The next episode of "Mom and Baby Travel" Season 3, Episode 3 will adopt a novel single-group live broadcast method, with each group completing their own tasks."
Nan Tao was curious: "What is a single group?"
The village chief explained: "Each family will live broadcast in their respective cities and complete the tasks issued by the program team. They will no longer gather together for filming."
Jiang Hui: "Then we won't see you next time?"
The village chief said, "Don't miss me."
Wen Manqing said gently, "Don't worry, we won't miss you."
The village chief received 10,000 critical hits.
The other guests, staff and netizens who were watching the live broadcast burst into laughter, and the second episode of the third season of "Mom Takes Her Baby to Travel" ended with laughter.
After the guests left, Nan Tao stayed there and said a few words to the village chief. After a while, the village chief left and reappeared quickly, followed by Xiong Qin.
Nan Tao: "Do you want to go to school, or stay home and continue to take care of your brother?"
Xiong Qin's eyes were red and swollen. She lowered her head and remained silent for a few seconds. Then she looked up at Nan Tao with a firm look in her eyes: "I want to leave and go to college."
Nan Tao smiled appreciatively and said, "You're very good." Then she took out her phone and said, "Add me on WeChat."
Xiong Qin hesitated, "I don't have a cell phone."
Nan Tao took out the cash she had just exchanged with the staff and said, "Here's three thousand yuan. Use it to buy a phone, then add me on WeChat. I'll sponsor your schooling, covering both tuition and living expenses. But you have to study hard, okay?"
Xiong Qin burst into tears, "Thank you, thank you... wuwuwu..."
Nan Tao took out a tissue and handed it to her: "You are still young, life is long, the world outside is so wonderful, you shouldn't be trapped here."
Xiong Qin bowed deeply ninety degrees to Nan Tao. She knew that whatever she said now would be false, and time would reveal a person's true character. She would spend her whole life thanking Nan Tao for her great kindness.
Nantao waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving now. See you again sometime."
After packing their luggage, Nan Tao took Yu Ze to the nanny car, went to the airport to get the boarding pass, and after waiting for an hour and a half, they finally got on the plane and entered the first-class cabin.
Nan Tao put her luggage away and asked Yu Ze, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something before going to sleep?"
Yu Ze was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes: "Mommy, I don't want to eat anymore, I want to sleep..."
Before he could finish his words, he fell asleep with his head drooped.
Nan Tao felt distressed and amused. She picked up the blanket and covered Yu Ze with it, then helped him adjust the seat so that he could sleep more comfortably.
While eating, I heard someone talking above my head.
"Beautiful lady, can you please do me a favor?"
What caught my eye was a tall, somewhat handsome man, who looked neither too young nor too old, probably under 30 years old.
Nan Tao replied: "What is it?"
Zhu Jun smiled, his eyes flashing with surprise and excitement, and he said with charm: "My friend wants to sit in the back row and switch seats with you. Is that okay?"
Nan Tao: "No."
Zhu Jun was stunned and became more interested in the woman in front of him.
He leaned forward, leaning against the back of his chair, looking down at the delicate-looking woman, and asked with a low laugh, "My friend is airsick. Can we go to the bathroom?"
Nan Tao finished her meal, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and said after a while, "If you get airsick, you don't have to fly."
Zhu Jun frowned, suspecting his charm had vanished. He bent slightly, revealing what he considered to be the most perfect and alluring smile. "Don't be so heartless. Since we're all on the same plane, meeting is fate. It doesn't matter where we sit, just switch seats."
Nan Tao frowned: "Stay away from me."
Zhu Jun's face turned cold, but then he smiled again, "You don't know me?"
Nan Tao rolled her eyes, "You're a cabbage, everyone recognizes you."
Zhu Jun didn't believe there was a woman he couldn't win over, so he added, "Okay, then don't change it. Pretty girl, don't be so cold. Let's add each other on WeChat. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, come to me and I'll help you solve it."
Nan Tao was impatient and sneered: "You are not worthy of being my brother."
Zhu Jun suffered a series of setbacks and could no longer maintain a smile on his face. He stared at Nan Tao with fierceness in his eyes.
Just as Nan Tao was about to call the flight attendant to send the person away, a woman came over. She looked older, almost forty years old.
"Ajun, forget it, let's sit in the front." The woman stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Jun's arm.
Zhu Jun coaxed softly, "I'm worried you'll feel airsick."
The woman said angrily, "I know you feel sorry for me, but I can only hold on for a little over two hours."
Zhu Jun slid his index finger across the tip of the woman's nose, "You."
Nan Tao watched them leave, her curiosity and gossip burning in her heart.
The two of them were clearly a couple, but with such a huge age difference, it looked like they were in a relationship between an older woman and a younger man. And that guy from earlier was so greasy, if he didn't have a decent face, I wouldn't have been able to bear looking at him.
Two and a half hours later, the plane landed.
Nan Tao woke Yu Ze up, "Baby, we're in Hai City."
Yu Ze rubbed his eyes, "Mommy."
Nan Tao kissed Yu Ze on the cheek and said, "Uncle housekeeper is here to pick us up. We'll be home soon."
Yu Ze became well-behaved and even helped his mommy carry the bag.
When getting off the plane, Nan Tao deliberately arrived a little late, but still bumped into the greasy man.
Nan Tao was about to miss and move aside when she heard her son's inner voice.
[I'm so sleepy, what are you talking about? ]
[Who? Are you talking about the one standing next to my mom? ]
Nan Tao pricked up her ears. Wasn’t that the annoying greasy guy next to her?
[Huh?! He was a mistress, seducing his manager Lu Duo to get him a promotion, secretly married, and even cheated on the popular young actress Guan Rou? And they're even being hyped as a couple?]
[Oh, you mean his wife Luduo also knew about it and acquiesced?]
【Tongtong, they are so complicated.】
