Chapter 2
2
Cheng Yeran is a big star. He debuted at the age of sixteen and won a big award for his first TV series. He was praised as an acting genius. The characters he has played are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. From sixty-year-old aunts to six-year-old children, everyone can call out the name of a character he has played when they see his face.
Recently, some negative information about him was exposed, saying that he cannot take care of himself and needs his assistant to feed him. He treats his assistant like a slave. He is arrogant and looks down on ordinary workers. He is still a mama's boy at home and has never done housework.
His agent asked him to participate in a farming variety show, allowing him to perform on the show and change his reputation.
"Except for the two things about not being fed and looking down on workers, the rest of what they said is true. You are my anti-fan, right? You asked me to go on the show to verify that revelation?" Cheng Yeran is a rich second-generation. He has been surrounded by three nannies since he was born. Except for dressing, eating and bathing himself, all other housework is done by the nannies.
"Since there is a script, just treat it as acting. Besides, your next play will be a TV series adapted from a farming novel. This is a good opportunity to experience it in advance and also to promote the new drama." The agent finally convinced him after much persuasion.
He pulled his luggage to the hotel of the production team and got the script from the director. The script wrote the background of the story and his character's background, and he was free to improvise the rest.
He read the script before going to bed. This is a fictional village in the ancient world. He is set as a lazy man who has just married a new wife and his family is very poor. His task is to make the lazy man work hard after marrying a new wife, repair the house, raise poultry, and plant two acres of wheat...
The rest of the villagers in the village may be NPCs sent by the program team, who will deliberately create trouble for him and issue tasks. Some of the villagers may be guests, and the relationship between the guests is a competitive relationship.
He and his wife were in a group and competed with other hidden guests.
He turned to the end and didn't see who would play his wife, but he could guess that it would be either a newcomer here to attract traffic, or a female celebrity who had been linked to him before, or the heroine of his next movie.
The director of this program is famous for his love of making trouble. No matter how famous the guests are, they have all been pranked by him. As a result, all the variety shows filmed by this director have become very popular.
But what he never expected was that the production crew would change his clothes while he was asleep. He had previously gotten long hair extensions for the filming and was made to look like a beggar by the production crew. He even had a lot of mud on his body. The strangest thing was that he didn't even notice it at all!
Normally, his agent always complained that he slept too soundly and it was difficult to wake him up, but he thought his agent was exaggerating. After this incident, he finally understood his agent's difficulties. He did not wake up even when he was moved out of the hotel. He really slept very soundly.
He could even imagine the scene where fans would burst out laughing when the show was broadcast.
He thought the production team had been outrageous enough, but his mind went blank when he saw the beautiful girl in a red dress and carrying a small bag at the door.
No wonder the audience always says that no matter how fast their thinking is, they can’t keep up with the director’s speed. He never expected that the director would find a man to play his wife.
Can this show survive by selling homosexuality like this? Will it be banned after two days of broadcasting?
He was still worried, so he took two steps towards the young man at the door, "You, are you my wife?"
After he asked, he saw the young man take two steps back warily, as if he was afraid that he would do something to him.
It was the first time for the big star to be disdained like this, and it was still a bit fresh, and even made him laugh, so he teased him deliberately: "Beautiful wife, come here and let your husband hug you."
Shen Yuntang frowned in disdain and said in a trembling voice: "How disgusting."
Cheng Yeran: “???”
It was the first time for him to be despised by someone. He looked down at himself dressed like a beggar, dirty and smelly, really disgusting. No wonder he was despised by others.
"What's your name?" Cheng Yeran felt very uncomfortable in his tattered clothes. He kept pulling at his clothes and scratching his neck.
"Shen Yuntang." Shen Yuntang stood at the door and felt that this lazy man had a good temper. He was not as bad-tempered as Xia Xiaowu, who would beat and scold him for trivial matters.
He felt relieved and asked Cheng Yeran tentatively, "Can I come in?"
"Of course, please come in." Cheng Yeran made way.
Shen Yuntang had prepared himself mentally before coming. Since he had married into the family, he could only accept his fate. However, when he opened the door, he was almost knocked over by the stench that hit him in the face.
Seeing his reaction, Cheng Yeran couldn't help but laugh softly.
"Do you usually live in a place like this?" Shen Yuntang looked at him, pinching his nose.
Cheng Yeran thought he was following the script, but he didn't expect his acting skills to be quite good. It's just that he looks too sweet, so if he wants to enter the entertainment industry, his acting range is too limited.
"Do you have a broom? Or a shovel?" Shen Yuntang really had no choice but to clean up before he could go to bed.
"What to do?" Cheng Yeran was still thinking about what kind of play would be suitable for him. He was distracted and didn't think about his question.
"Clean up, otherwise how can we live here?" Shen Yuntang said with disgust. He wanted to curse, but was afraid of angering Cheng Yeran and getting beaten, so he spoke in a low voice.
In their village, the husband's family can beat and scold the married man or woman at will, and no one would think it is wrong. He even often hears others say that there is no daughter-in-law who is not beaten, especially a new daughter-in-law, who must be beaten hard so that she will be scared, and rules can be established to make it easier to discipline her in the future.
Although he was afraid of being beaten, he still said the words of disdain, trying to test Cheng Yeran's intentions and feel out Cheng Yeran's temper. If Cheng Yeran was the type of person who would get angry at the slightest provocation, he would stay away from him and talk less to him in the future.
But Cheng Yeran didn't know whether he didn't hear it or didn't care at all. He turned around and went to the yard. "Wait for me for a moment. I'll go look for it. I don't know if it's there."
Shen Yuntang followed him to the backyard, which was bigger than he thought and could be used to grow a lot of plants.

There are dishes, and there is also a chicken coop and a pig pen.
It’s just that the vegetable garden is full of weeds, and the pigpen and chicken coop are empty, probably because they haven’t been used for many years.
I heard that the Cheng family used to be a wealthy family in the village. Cheng Yeran was literate when he was a child and passed the examination to become a student. Later, I heard that Cheng Yeran's parents had died. Cheng Yeran was spoiled by his parents and knew nothing. He only survived by selling things at home.
Shen Yuntang had heard a lot of rumors about Cheng Yeran. The aunties in the village said that many people did not understand Cheng Yeran and bought a lot of land at low prices.
He couldn't feel pity for Cheng Yeran. As a grown man, there was no need for him to live the way he did now even if his parents were gone.
"Let's make do with it." Cheng Yeran found a shovel, an old broom, and a rag bag.
Although this shovel and broom look old, they are still in good condition because they have not been used for many years.
"Which one do you want to use?" Cheng Yeran asked him.
Shen Yuntang raised his hand to grab the broom and muttered, "You said it as if you would clean with me."
"Why can't I clean with you? I was also a monitor when I was in school. Don't make me sound like a mama's boy." Cheng Yeran carried the shovel on his shoulder, picked up his bag and walked into the house first, humming a song.
Just as Shen Yuntang was surprised by his action, he heard a loud "Ouch".
Shen Yuntang: “…”
"Don't come in yet, wait for me." Cheng Yeran quickly ran to his box, took out two masks from it, put one on himself, and gave one to Shen Yuntang when he went out.
One of the main reasons why he didn't realize he had traveled through time was that his suitcase and cell phone were with him. Plus, he was filming a farming variety show, which made it even harder for him to notice that he had traveled through time.
"Put this on, otherwise I'm afraid you'll be poisoned." Cheng Yeran turned and went into the house. He looked at the moldy food in the house and the two rotten rat corpses with their bones exposed lying on the ground. He didn't believe that the rat corpses were real at all. They should be fake props. He gave a thumbs up to the program crew in his heart, thinking that the props were really well made.
Not knowing whether it would scare the audience, he went over without any pressure and used a shovel to shovel the mouse's body into a cloth bag, then went on to shovel away other garbage.
While cleaning, Cheng Yeran looked for hidden cameras in the house, but found nothing after searching for a long time.
Although he didn't find anything, he thought he didn't look carefully enough. The room was filled with cameras, shooting from multiple angles.
He turned his head and glanced at Shen Yuntang, who was also sweeping the floor seriously, working much more efficiently than him.
Although they were in the entertainment industry, he had never come into contact with idols before. He just heard that these idols were very delicate. Shen Yuntang looked weak and fragile, and looked like she needed protection. He thought she was a novice in life, but he didn't expect that she was more delicate than him. He needed to work harder.
Shen Yuntang thought that after entering the Cheng family, he would have to do everything by himself. However, that lazy guy just lay in bed and did nothing, but he was ordered to do this and that, and even beaten if he didn't do it well.
But what surprised him was that Cheng Yeran actually took the initiative to clean the room and was quite serious about it.
Especially since Shen Yuntang was frightened by the two dead mice just now, and was thinking that the lazy guy would definitely not touch them, so he was wondering how he could get them out. But Cheng Yeran did it. He didn't expect that Cheng Yeran was a little bit reliable...
But today was only the first night of their marriage, and he couldn't be sure whether this lazy guy was just doing it on a whim or wanted to cheer himself up after getting married.
Just as he was thinking, he heard a rustling sound near the window. He turned around and saw three heads.
Shen Yuntang screamed in fright, and Cheng Yeran turned around and saw the three heads. The scene in the middle of the night, which was like a horror movie, also scared him.
The three men were young men from the village, who loved to watch the fun. When they heard that the lazy man was getting married today, they ran over to eavesdrop, wanting to see if the lazy man would be too lazy to move in the bridal chamber and would even let the young husband take the initiative.
As a result, they saw something even more interesting than the bridal chamber. The lazy man actually took the initiative to clean the house! Not to mention the lazy guy, other men in the village don’t know how to do housework. It’s a miracle that this lazy guy can do such a thing!
The three of them were discovered, and they hurriedly climbed over the wall and ran away, shouting to the whole village as they ran: "This is terrible, the lazy man became hardworking after marrying a wife!"
