Will I go hungry?
You'll go hungry!
These words were like a bolt from the blue for Tang Wan!
What she feared most in the past was not having food to eat, or not being able to eat anything good.
These are all very serious matters.
So Tang Wan and Gou Xi quickly put on their small baskets and ran out in a hurry.
Everything else can wait, but going hungry is a serious matter and cannot be taken lightly!
Tang Wan didn't want to go hungry again; the feeling of being hungry was truly unpleasant.
Gou Xi's voice was very soft, so not everyone could hear her.
At least, the viewers in the live stream didn't hear it.
So they picked up keyboards or phones and started typing in the live stream.
They're slacking off! Unlike Jiajia, who does everything quietly and diligently.
[Exactly, I remember last time Jiajia was fishing alone, and she didn't even post a video.]
[Exactly! The production team can't be so biased; they're being so unfair to a child!]
The fat director wasn't angry at the comments. He knew what he was doing; he had simply compiled a collection of Su Jiajia's actions and was looking for the right time to release it.
This "appropriate timing" is based on the premise that the matter they are investigating is related to Su Jiajia.
Director Pang sincerely hoped that this matter had nothing to do with Su Jiajia.
It doesn't matter if she gets scolded, but if such a young child is involved in this matter, her future will be completely ruined.
Thinking about this, the chubby director sighed with a headache and switched the camera to Su Jiajia's side.
However, Su Jiajia was holding scissors and cutting the flowers and plants behind her.
At first, everyone praised him.
Compared to Gou Xi and Tang Wan, Jiajia's diligence in her work is commendable.
I agree. At first, I liked Gou Xi's innocent and lively personality, and I thought she said whatever came to mind. But now I think she's too self-centered. What kind of child acts like that? She's so immature.
Everyone else was working, but she went to play with other children.
I agree. Jiajia seems much more sensible now, while the other two kids seem to have given up completely, unable to keep up the pretense any longer.
Just then, a slightly cold voice rang out from behind Su Jiajia, interrupting her actions.
“These are herbs that you cut down that were specially planted.”
Startled, Su Jiajia turned around, still shaken, to look at Chen Shuo standing behind her. With a sharp tug, she cut off another section of the branch.
Chen Shuo raised an eyebrow, parted his thin lips slightly, and said, "One thousand."
"What?" Su Jiajia asked instinctively, "What, a thousand?"
Chen Shuo's eyes rarely showed any pity, and he said, "This herb has a market price starting at one thousand."
Su Jiajia was clearly taken aback, but she didn't seem too afraid.
In her past life, she was a popular star who could earn millions a day, so she didn't care about a few thousand dollars.
Even if we take a step back and assume that she didn't become a star, her monthly living expenses were tens of thousands of yuan. This little over a thousand yuan was just a bit of pocket money for Su Jiajia.
So the initial indifference in her eyes turned into "panic".
Yes.
For ordinary people, a thousand is a lot of money.
So Su Jiajia's face showed a perfectly timed expression of fear, as if she was worried that she couldn't afford to pay.
However, Chen Shuo, who was standing in front of her, was not someone who could be easily fooled. He saw through Su Jiajia's indifference at a glance.
He felt something was off.
Unlike them.
Su Jiajia and Tang Wan both came from Xinxin Orphanage.
But why do Su Jiajia and Tang Wan have such different attitudes toward money?
The orphanage, which looked impoverished, didn't seem to be as destitute as they had imagined.
The next second, Chen Shuo heard Su Jiajia say in a trembling voice, "I, I, I can't afford to pay..."
Her little mouth turned pale with fright, and she looked so pitiful.
Li Yu, who was standing to the side, had long forgotten about Su Jiajia's previous misdeeds and took the initiative to step forward to comfort Su Jiajia.
"It's okay, Jiajia didn't do it on purpose."
"The herbs in this yard should have been bought by the production team, so it shouldn't matter if they're damaged while cutting them."
At this point, Li Yu seemed to realize that what she said was somewhat ambiguous, and quickly added a sentence.
"What I mean is, Jiajia did it on purpose, no one will blame you."
Su Jiajia clenched her little hands tightly, lowered her head, and looked extremely guilty and scared.
In reality, she was annoyed by Li Yu's meddling!
I wish Chen Shuo would answer me like that.
The fact that Chen Shuo, who is usually aloof, said such gentle words will surely make everyone feel that they have a good relationship with Chen Shuo, and they will also receive more attention.
Everyone can see that, apart from Tang Wan, the two people who are receiving the most attention are Chen Shuo and Fu Wenzhi.
Su Jiajia had never met Fu Wen in her previous life, and she didn't know how to start a conversation with him now.
But Chen Shuo is different.
I've met him in my past life.
I know what kind of person he is.
If it weren't for Li Yu, and it were only Chen Shuo, he would probably have just made a sarcastic remark.
— Clumsy and incompetent, can't do anything right, just stay out of the way.
Although the words were unpleasant, I did manage to communicate with Chen Shuo, which provided an opportunity to break the ice and create a topic of conversation.
It's a pity that Li Yu ruined this opportunity.
As expected, Chen Shuo sneered the next second, withdrew his gaze, and left.
Looking at the dejected Su Jiajia, Li Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "He didn't mean any harm, he just doesn't know how to talk."
[Haha, this is hilarious! High EQ: not very good at talking; low EQ: sharp-tongued.]
Chen Shuo's mouth is really perfect for arguing.
[But Su Jiajia really did something wrong. She chose the easiest task—lip trimming—and before she even finished, what's wrong with getting lipped on?]
[In other words, the program team bought the herb. If they hadn't, the family would have lost over a thousand yuan, which is a life-saving sum for many families.]
[I was saying that you really don't value money and only act on feelings, right? Chen Shuo was clearly just trying to be helpful by reminding Su Jiajia not to mess up the haircut, but now you're all calling him a sarcastic person.]
The comments section was noisy, with everyone expressing their own opinions and refusing to give in.
All of this remained unknown to Tang Wan and Gou Xi, who were picking mushrooms on another mountain.
Gou Xi held up a huge mushroom and placed it in front of Tang Wan, her eyes filled with bright surprise.
"Tangtang, look! A big mushroom!"
