Chapter 47
Nan Tao sympathetically said, "It's nothing. Didn't you say you were going to change some coins?"
The proprietress glared at Nan Tao and said, "Why are you rushing me?"
Nan Tao wasn't angry at all and said good-naturedly, "Okay, okay, I won't rush you. Feel free to do as you please."
The proprietress was confused by Nan Tao's attitude. Just now, this man was aggressive and annoying, like a dog-skin plaster that could not be driven away. How could he become such a different person in the blink of an eye?
Forget it, never mind, just exchange the money and send the guy away, it’s disgusting to watch.
The proprietress had just started to leave, but before she had taken two steps, she heard her son calling her. She quickly turned around and asked, "Son, what's the matter?"
"What are you doing? There's no food at all. I'm hungry. Hurry up and cook me some food!"
The lady boss said, "Sorry, son. Wait a minute. I'll come back and cook for you after I've exchanged the money for them."
The fat, yellow-haired man looked Nan Tao up and down and said with disdain, "You're just a junk seller, not worth much. I study so hard at school every day, and yet you refuse to cook for me!"
Lady Boss: “But…”
"What do you mean by 'but'?! I'm starving! Do you want to starve me to death? Which is more important, money or me? I don't want to study anymore. What's the point of going to school? If you don't give me food, I won't go!"
The proprietress was horrified. "How can you not go to school?" She said with a flattering smile, "My dear son, you are the educated one in the family. Mom is counting on you to go to college and bring honor to the family. I will cook for you right away."
"I'm going in to play games. Please make dinner and bring it to me." After saying that, he slammed the door.
Nan Tao saw the proprietress was about to leave in a hurry, so she quickly stopped her and said, "Change the money for me first and then go cook. Otherwise, how long will I have to wait for you here?"
The proprietress quickly grabbed Nan Tao and said, "My dear aunt, please keep your voice down. If my son hears you, he'll make a scene. He's in his first year of high school now, and we can't afford to lose any time at this critical moment. Could you please wait for me for a moment? I'll change the money for you as soon as I finish cooking."
Nan Tao: "He's in the first year of high school, not the third year. Besides, it's not the weekend. Shouldn't he be in school for evening self-study at this time? Why did he come back suddenly? And it's very quick to exchange money at the supermarket next door. When I came in, I saw that the supermarket was not far away, not even 300 meters away, so it wouldn't take more than five or six minutes."
The proprietress doted on her son very much. He was raised in the palm of her hand and was given whatever he wanted, not to mention that her son was admitted to the best high school in the county, which brought her honor. Whenever she met the neighbors, she would praise her son for being a top student. People within a ten-mile radius all praised her for being lucky enough to raise such a promising son.
In the eyes of the boss lady, nothing is more important than her son's affairs. Her son's affairs are the father's business. Even making money is not as important as her son. After all, she can only make a little money by recycling waste. But her son is different. He is a cultured person and a top student. He will make a lot of money in the future.
Therefore, Nan Tao's normal words sounded particularly harsh to the boss lady's ears. She angrily shouted, "What do you know?! My son has good grades, so how can he be the same as those poor students in the teacher's eyes? Only poor students stay in school and attend evening self-study classes. My son said that he has good grades and the teacher trusts him very much. It's normal for him to come home from evening self-study occasionally."
"Mom, what are you making noise about out there?! Tell them to get out of here and cook for me! I'm starving!"
The lady boss heard her son's angry roar and replied in a panic, "Don't worry, son. Mom will cook for you right away. It will be ready soon, right away."
Nan Tao was speechless. "The time you've been arguing with me here is enough for you to exchange the money back."
The proprietress ignored him and went to the side of the hut to build a simple kitchen and hurried to cook for her baby son.
Nan Tao walked over and suggested, "How about I take your phone and exchange it for money?"
The proprietress poured oil into the wok and added onions and ginger. She took the time to reply, "Do you think I'm stupid? Even though you're well-dressed, you've fallen to the point of picking up rags. How much money can you possibly have? I'll give you my phone, and you might run away with it in the blink of an eye. I'm telling you, I've seen a lot of people like you. The clothes you and your son are wearing were all picked up from the trash. Don't think you're rich just because you wear nice clothes. It's just daydreaming."
Nan Tao: “…”
She looked down at the clothes on her body. She bought them specially for participating in this program and wore them for the first time today. She didn't expect that people would complain that they found them from the trash. Who is so rich that she would spend over 200,000 yuan to buy a new one and never wear it once, and then throw it away? Even as rich as she is, she is not so rich and extravagant.
Looking at the proprietress's confident expression, Nan Tao suddenly laughed, "Hahaha!"
The lady boss said angrily, "What are you laughing at? I just didn't change your money. You shouldn't be so mad."
Nan Tao felt that her hard work this afternoon was not in vain, otherwise how would she have the chance to have fun now.
Not only Nan Tao was having fun, but the netizens watching the live broadcast were also having fun and burst into laughter.
[I'm dying of laughter. Taozi is wearing the latest model from D, a set that costs two or three hundred thousand. What wealthy person would throw away such expensive clothes? Could you please tell me in advance so I can grab a bargain?]
[Oh my god, I'm dying of laughter. I can't take it anymore. I'm almost dying of laughter. The lady boss of the scrap recycling business is making me die of laughter.]
[I have a question. If I die from laughter, can my family ask the boss for compensation?]
[Taozi didn't wear any jewelry this time, otherwise she would have scared the boss lady to death.]
[Are you sure you scared the boss lady to death, rather than being told she found it while picking up trash? Hahahaha...]
[Boss lady 666, I’m calling you]
Everyone's complaining about the boss's wife, but no one sympathizes with her? Her son lied to her about getting into the county's No. 1 middle school. That's horrible.
[There's always something hateful about a pitiful person. She dotes on her son so much, won't he be doomed sooner or later?]
Normal people would exchange money with customers and leave, then cook for their son. But look at what the boss lady did? She actually ignored the customers and cooked for her son directly. This kind of doting is a bit scary.
[The key point is that her son even scolded Taozi for being poor. It was hilarious. If I were as poor as Taozi, I would wake up laughing in my dreams.]
【To spoil a child is like killing him.】
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I suddenly felt like I was seeing the boss lady's reaction when she knew the truth. It was absolutely amazing. I admit I can't stand her acting like a spoiled brat. What's so great about being a boy? Everyone is still a human being.]
Nan Tao waved her hands repeatedly, "What's there to be angry about? Madam Boss, you are telling the truth."
The proprietress felt something was wrong. She had seen honest people, but she had never seen anyone as honest as him. Normally, if someone was told that the clothes they were wearing were picked up from the trash, they would at least look unhappy, not to mention angry. But this guy was still smiling. He was simply insane.
The boss lady was secretly sulking because she didn't pierce the person's lungs. She accidentally turned on the gas stove too much. With a bang, the flames quickly grew bigger and then disappeared without a trace.
The proprietress frowned and turned the switch again, but there was no response. She bent down and shook the gas tank with her hand. A small flame popped out, but before it could last two seconds, it went out with a puff.
"What's going on? Why is there no air?" The lady boss stamped her feet in anger.
Nan Tao was surprised and said, "What? He's dead! What should we do? Madam, please find a solution quickly. Your son can't go hungry. His body is so precious. If he can't eat right away, he'll starve to death."
The proprietress's face turned green with anger, and she pointed at Nan Tao and trembled, "Are you being sarcastic?"
Nan Tao blinked innocently, her brows furrowed slightly. "How can you be so mean and judge others by your own standards? I'm concerned about your son's health, yet you accuse me of being sarcastic? It's so hurtful."
The proprietress hesitated and for a moment couldn't tell whether what the man said was true or false.
Nan Tao continued, "Look, it's getting dark, and you can't cook now. Why don't you go to the supermarket and buy some food for your son? Otherwise, what will he do if he's hungry? Right? You can also change some money for me. It's not a good idea for me to stay here all the time, don't you think?"
The proprietress said: "Yes, yes, why didn't I think of that? Thank you for reminding me. I misunderstood you just now. I will go right away. Please wait for me and I will be back soon."
The proprietress left in a flash, probably because she was afraid that her baby son would be hungry, so she ran as fast as she could. She came back not long after she left.
"You count it, okay?" the proprietress handed over the money.
Nan Tao took it and didn't need to count it at all. As long as the big red bill was there, she would have completed the task. The remaining few dollars and cents were nothing. She raised the bills in her hand and said to the proprietress, "Thank you. I'll come again next time."
The proprietress paused and shouted at the person's back, "Little aunt, you'd better not come next time."
Nan Tao raised her lips and walked happily with Yu Ze towards where the program team's bus was parked.
After getting in the car, I saw Jiang Hui and Zhan Li, "How did you complete your mission?"
Jiang Hui: "Don't mention it, I might as well go pick up trash."
Nan Tao waved her hands quickly, "Don't do that! You don't know how hard it is to pick up trash. There's an entire huge square. Do you think we're done with it? NO! Xiaoze and I still have to sweep up the trash. And after sweeping up the trash, we still have to drag the heavy waste to sell it. The lady who runs the recycling shop is also very troublesome. She refuses to accept my waste. I almost failed the mission."
Jiang Hui sighed, "Then I'd rather go pick up trash. You don't know what I did as a part-time worker this time... Sigh, it's hard to put into words."
Nan Tao asked curiously, "No way, is it so miserable that you're even willing to pick up trash?"
Jiang Huisheng said helplessly, "Do you know how filthy the room I cleaned was? It wasn't about cleaning at all. There wasn't even enough space to put your feet. It was disgusting. It was full of garbage that had been there for who knows how long. It stank to death and was infested with insects. If it weren't for dinner tonight, I would have quit."
Nan Tao: "Rah~, just listening to your description makes me feel suffocated."
At this time, Jiang Hui's fans entered Nan Tao's live broadcast room. Since Nan Tao and Jiang Hui were good friends, the two fans got along very peacefully.
I ran here from Huihui's livestream. It's so miserable. I almost want to vomit just looking at it.
The most infuriating thing was that when Huihui was live streaming, I was eating, and I immediately threw my food aside.
[Is it really that bad? I thought Taozi was pretty pathetic, but hearing what you're saying, actress Jiang is even more miserable.]
[It's not worse, it's extremely worse! Damn the production team!]
Jiang Hui: "The mission is completed, but I might not be able to eat dinner. Ugh~ I can't think about it..."
Nan Tao quickly comforted: "Don't think about it, the more you think about it, the more you think about it, let's think about something else beautiful."
While the two were talking, the program crew's bus picked up Zhou Mei and her daughter.
Nan Tao happily hugged little Yang Xuan into her arms and rubbed her, while asking, "Meimei, how was your mission today?"
Zhou Mei smiled subconsciously, then pursed her lips, pinched her brows, and said tiredly, "It's okay."
Nan Tao was frightened when she saw Zhou Mei suddenly fake smile, and she leaned back tactically.
I blinked in confusion, wondering what "make do" meant.
