Chapter 38 Live Streaming Vegetable Sales 2
"Haven't you always liked me?" Gu Qingke really couldn't believe it. She had been pursuing him so relentlessly before, how could she have changed so suddenly?
Su Tangtang felt a surge of powerlessness and even had an urge to beat him up.
Does this person not understand human speech at all?
She suppressed her anger and repeated, word by word, "I don't like you now, and I won't like you in the future. You have a girlfriend. It's good for you and your girlfriend if I don't bother you. Why do you still care whether I like you or not?"
"You're like this now because you're unwilling to accept it," Su Tangtang said coldly, "unwilling to accept that I'm suddenly no longer revolving around you."
Gu Qingke opened his mouth, but when he saw the undisguised disgust on her face, the words stuck in his throat. He felt like he was going crazy.
He had always thought that Su Tangtang's change was just another way to get his attention, and never thought that she had really let go.
But why does my heart feel so heavy and painful?
Seeing that he was keeping his head down and not saying anything, Su Tangtang was too lazy to pester him any further. She turned to Huo Yizhou and said softly, "Let's go, I'm sleepy."
Huo Yizhou naturally took her hand and replied, "Okay."
Su Tangtang was slightly taken aback, then gently squeezed his hand back, "Let's go home."
The moment the two held hands was witnessed by Gu Qingke, who looked up. His pupils contracted, his fists clenched tightly, and he roared, "Let go of me!"
Su Tangtang glanced at him with disgust. "Are you sick in the head?"
She now looks at Qingke like she's looking at a dung beetle that she can't shake off, which jumps out every now and then to disgust her.
Gu Qingke's eyes reddened, and she almost lost her mind, rushing forward to tear their tightly clasped hands apart.
Su Tangtang and Huo Yizhou both took a step back to avoid him.
Gu Qingke missed her target, became even more out of control, and pounced again.
Huo Yizhou frowned and swiftly kicked out.
With a thud, Gu Qingke collapsed to the ground. The dull pain in his buttocks contorted his expression. He stared intently at Su Tangtang, gritting his teeth as he said, "Su Tangtang, you're something else."
"You just wait."
Su Tangtang never expected that this man could be so shameless.
The two ignored Gu Qingke and quickened their pace to walk back.
They hadn't gone far when they saw a person standing in the shadows—it was Shen Yingying.
Su Tangtang paused for a moment. In the darkness, the two looked at each other without saying a word. After passing each other, Shen Yingying slowly walked up to Gu Qingke, who was still sitting on the ground.
Looking at him, she scoffed, her voice laced with sarcasm, "Gu Qingke, you've fallen for her, haven't you?"
Gu Qingke didn't get up, or even look up. When he saw Shen Yingying, he was no longer flustered as before. Instead, he seemed indifferent to his disheveled appearance.
“I never expected,” Shen Yingying said bitterly, “that you would actually fall for her.”
After saying that, she laughed softly, her laughter dry and more unpleasant than crying. "I won't break up with you. You want to dump me and go after Su Tangtang? Forget about it now."
The thought of how this man had explained and promised her so many times before made her feel disgusted.
She turned and left.
At that moment of turning around, tears unexpectedly rolled down her cheeks.
Why? By what right?!
She hated it so much, she really hated it.
Su Tangtang wants to take everything from her.
She was unwilling to accept it.
Since she can't have it, then even if it means destroying it, she will never let Su Tangtang have it.

The next day at noon, the whole village was immersed in a lively and festive atmosphere. Almost every household rushed to attend Ersheng's wedding banquet. Unexpectedly, Ersheng even asked the village chief to invite the program crew. The director couldn't refuse, so he led everyone to go and share in the joy.
Just before eleven o'clock, a loud suona horn pierced the sky, followed by a series of crackling firecrackers. Someone shouted, "The new bride has arrived!"
Su Tangtang gently supported Huo Yizhou's arm, stood on tiptoe and looked outside, "They're here, they're getting off the bus!"
Huo Yizhou followed the crowd and looked over. The scene was crowded with people, and she had some difficulty seeing them. At this moment, someone carrying a bamboo basket started scattering wedding candies. As soon as the candies landed, adults and children alike laughed and bent down to pick them up.
Su Tangtang also picked up a few coins and unexpectedly found a one-cent coin. She excitedly held it up in front of Huo Yizhou, "Look, there's even lucky money!"
An older woman nearby saw this and said with a smile, "Girl, if you don't want to keep this lucky money, give it to me. I'll sew it on my grandson's hat for good luck."
Su Tangtang was taken aback for a moment, then handed it over, and the old lady thanked her repeatedly.
"Auntie, is there any significance to sewing lucky money on hats?" Su Tangtang asked curiously.
Huo Yizhou also listened intently.
"It's just for good luck, to bless the child to grow up safe and sound," the woman explained with a smile.
“That’s great,” Su Tangtang nodded and smiled.
A short while later, the bride and groom walked together to the stage that had been temporarily erected. The bride had a pretty face, but she was not tall, about 1.5 meters.
The host spoke auspicious words on stage, followed by the tea ceremony and the greeting to elders. The so-called "longevity gift" involved the groom's elders going on stage to give red envelopes, and the newlyweds kowtowing to express their gratitude. The lively atmosphere lasted for quite a while.
Around 12:00, the banquet officially began. Everyone ate and chatted in a lively atmosphere. After a few rounds of drinks, the newlyweds went around toasting each table. When it was Su Tangtang's table's turn, everyone stood up and raised their glasses. The groom was a little excited to see the program crew, but he couldn't hide his joy at getting married today.
After toasting and sitting down again, Zhou Yan sighed softly, "It's so nice, the two of them look like a good match."
Meng Meng chimed in, "I just heard from the villagers that the bride has hearing problems."
Lin Lang was a little surprised, "Really?"
Meng Meng pouted, "I only heard it from people chatting around here. The emcee called the bride to call her 'Mom' several times, but she didn't respond until the groom nudged her."
When she said that, everyone remembered what had just happened. At first, they thought the bride was lost in thought.
After the meal, Su Tangtang and the others thanked the host and left first. In the afternoon, they continued to work in the fields, busy with the farm work of spreading fertilizer.
That evening, Meng Meng went to find Shen Yingying. "Yingying, shall we go for a walk?"
Shen Yingying nodded silently and followed her into the night.
The two walked side by side along the village path, with no photographer following behind them, and only the low chirping of summer insects all around.
"You don't seem quite right today," Meng Meng said softly. "Or rather, what's going on between you and Gu Qingke? The atmosphere feels a bit strange. Did you have a fight?"
“Hmm,” Shen Yingying didn’t hide it, but responded softly. After a moment of silence, she said in a hoarse voice, “Gu Qingke… has fallen for Su Tangtang.”
Meng Meng stopped abruptly, her eyes widening in disbelief. "What did you say?"
“I said, Gu Qingke has fallen for Su Tangtang,” Shen Yingying repeated, her voice trembling, her eyes instantly reddening.
"But didn't he used to hate Su Tangtang the most?" Meng Meng asked, puzzled.
Shen Yingying sneered, "Who knows?"
Meng Meng clenched her fists and said angrily, "That bitch Su Tangtang! She's like a persistent ghost, always trying to steal everything from you!" She took Shen Yingying's arm and said firmly, "What should we do now?"
Shen Yingying narrowed her eyes, her gaze turning cold in the night. "I won't let them get away with this."
"Of course not!" Meng Meng gritted her teeth. "Especially Su Tangtang."
Shen Yingying nodded gently.
Meng Meng suddenly grabbed her hand, "Yingying, I'll help you."
“Mengmeng…” Shen Yingying gripped her hand tightly, her voice choked with emotion, “I really don’t know what I would do without you.”
Meng Meng patted the back of her hand, "I will always stand by your side. Gu Qingke is a scumbag who is not worth your sadness."
"I wish I could kill Su Tangtang right now," Shen Yingying's voice was icy.
Meng Meng lowered her voice, "We can't go too far on the show, but we can teach her a lesson. After the show ends, I'll help you deal with her properly."
Shen Yingying nodded, reached out and hugged Meng Meng tightly, burying her face in her shoulder, "Mengmeng, thank you."
Soon, the second live-stream vegetable selling event began, but the weather was not cooperating that day. From early morning, the rain poured down relentlessly without any sign of stopping.
Once everyone was ready, the live stream started on time, and as soon as the camera lit up, viewers flocked in.
Just like last time, Su Tangtang and her group first introduced themselves, and then began to introduce today's vegetables. Cucumbers and tomatoes were still in high demand, and they sold a lot of orders in no time.
“Look at this eggplant, everyone, it’s really fresh,” Su Tangtang said naturally as she picked up a glossy purple eggplant. “We just made braised eggplant with chili peppers yesterday. We steamed the eggplant until it was soft, then stir-fried it with chili peppers. It tasted amazing!”
Just then, a staff member rushed into the greenhouse, found Su Tangtang, and said with a troubled tone, "Boss Su, we were just about to pack the tomatoes for shipment, but they said we can't pick them anymore."
Su Tangtang was taken aback.
What's the meaning?
Has something happened to Meng Meng and the others again?
She exchanged a glance with Huo Yizhou, who immediately understood and stood up, saying, "I'll go with you to take a look."
The staff member nodded, and the two opened their umbrellas and quickly walked into the rain, their figures soon disappearing into the rain.
Meanwhile, the live stream chat room had already exploded with excitement:
[What's going on?]
[What does "not allowing picking" mean?]
[I just came from Meng Meng's live stream. She said they had too many orders and couldn't supply Su Tangtang's group.]
What about the order I just placed?
[Does this seem intentional?]
[Yeah, I clearly saw Meng Meng and the others still feeding tomatoes to others, but they were blocking Su Tangtang's side.]
[This is definitely looking for trouble!]
Su Tangtang scanned the comments and understood the situation. She calmed her tone and reassured the camera, "Don't worry, everyone. Brother Zhou has already contacted them. We will handle it properly and it won't affect your delivery."
As soon as she finished speaking, the live chat exploded with comments again:
I believe in you, but please resolve this quickly!
[Won't it be delayed for several days?]
Su Tangtang responded firmly, "Please rest assured, if there is any delay or inability to ship the goods, we support unconditional refunds and will never let anyone suffer a loss."
