While Duan Xiulan was working, one second she was chatting and gossiping with the other NPC aunties, and the next second it turned out they were gossiping about her?! If she weren't the one in question, would these aunties even be talking about her?!
She thought it was something that happened in the village.
After all, the first thing these aunties say is, "Dajun is so pitiful. Xiulan is still young. She should find someone better."
So this Xiulan is actually Duan Xiulan?!
She hadn't even gotten used to the new name the show's production team gave her, which resulted in her spending half the day gossiping about herself. Not to mention her, even the other NPCs who were just following the script and gossiping hadn't expected that the person in question was right in front of them, and was even gossiping with them! It was incredibly awkward.
Duan Xiulan looked at Wang Cuihua, who was now her mother-in-law, and who was timidly huddled on a small stool by the door.
"You're my mother-in-law?!"
"Um."
Duan Xiulan felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders. It seemed the production team really knew how to stir things up! Who could possibly get their own gossip like this?!
[Haha, the production team is really good, I love watching it. But just making money isn't enough, they also have to deal with the NPCs, hehe.]
[I feel like Duan Xiulan is even more pitiful than Gongsun Dong.]
[That's still different. I feel Gongsun Dong is in a worse situation. He's sleeping in a small dark room, yet he can still see the interrogation room. Haha, this kid says he doesn't know anything, but he really doesn't know anything. Hahaha, the inspection team even said he was being stubborn, and he almost cried. Hahaha.]
[As expected, only someone as lucky as Ouyang Weidong could survive such a start. I initially thought with so many people trying to get the gold, they'd surely get a lot, but the show's producers really know how to play games.]
[That's terrible. Ouyang Weidong even changed into a suit and leather shoes and had a meal, while Gongsun Dong was arrested without even changing his clothes or eating.]
[That's right, the production team's balancing act—even Gongsun Dong's one yuan was confiscated, now his pockets are emptier than his face. But I saw a few other people were also arrested, though not as severely as him; they just got a green stamp and were deported.]
After dinner, the villagers in Liujia Village began to stroll around, enjoying the cool air and chatting.
Liu Erzhuang was brought back by the patrol team.
"Aunt Liu! It's your Erzhuang who's been brought back!! Come quick!!"
Aunt Liu was chatting with the other NPCs about the contestants' reactions and the recent changes in the park when she suddenly heard someone call her name.
"Erzhuang?!"
Aunt Liu panicked for a moment, then realized, "Oh, I have a son!" She quickly and diligently went over to him.
"Captain, my son is a good person."
Liu Erzhuang never expected that his identity would have an NPC mother. This feeling was quite novel. He looked at the plump and energetic middle-aged woman in front of him. She was wearing patched clothes, which were grayish in color, but she looked very clean.
Liu Erzhuang breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed to be an easy-going NPC.
The patrol team's NPC had a stern face. "Liu Erzhuang didn't complete his production tasks properly and ran to the county town without any proof. Do you know what happened in the town today? A foreign spy was caught and implicated his entire family."
Aunt Liu slapped her thigh, completely absorbed in the scene, but couldn't squeeze out any tears. "This has nothing to do with my son. My son is a good person."
Seeing that Aunt Liu couldn't cry, the elderly woman next to her quickly pointed to her mouth and said, "Use your saliva!"
"Tell your son not to run around anymore. We're in a tough situation right now, so don't cause us any more trouble."
After the patrol team left, Liu Erzhuang felt complicated. He hadn't expected that so many people could catch him and that he would even get a green stamp. It was a really bad start.
Liu Erzhuang's eyes darkened for a moment when he saw this NPC mother who had appeared out of nowhere. He hadn't eaten all day and his stomach was growling with hunger. He said somewhat awkwardly, "Mom, I'm hungry."
As Aunt Liu watched the patrol team walk away, she thought to herself, "That was close! I almost burst into tears."
"go home."
Liu Erzhuang followed Aunt Liu home, and was stunned when he entered the door. Why were there so many people in the house?
The other five people were also sizing up Liu Erzhuang, who had just entered the room.
Liu Erzhuang has the face of an honest man, a tall and robust physique, and with the clothes provided by the production team, he looks exactly like a simple, honest, and native villager.
"Dazhuang, close the door."
"Well, Mom."
Liu Erzhuang was somewhat confused. Were these people his brothers and sisters?! But this Dazhuang looked way too young. The production team didn't even bother to find an older NPC; it seemed so unprofessional.
Liu Erzhuang moved away, and Liu Dazhuang closed the door, his back turned as he couldn't help but suppress a laugh.
Everyone else also lowered their heads or looked around, avoiding Liu Erzhuang's gaze.
"Xiao Zhuang, go and get a piece of firewood."
"Good or bad."
Liu Xiaozhuang walked quickly with excitement, and he even specially picked a thin and long one, because that kind of hits really hurts, hehe.
They had all heard the commotion in the village. At first, they didn't expect it to be one of the contestants assigned to their own family, since everyone knew to avoid the patrol team.
They stood at the door watching the commotion, wondering what kind of guy this was who had been brought back by the patrolman, and whether he would be lucky enough to get a job picking up manure.
As it turned out, they saw that Aunt Liu was also in the crowd. They understood immediately: Erzhuang, who had been missing for so long, had been caught by the patrol officers.
Liu Xiaozhuang couldn't stop laughing. He came back late and hadn't done any work today. His dinner was divided up by the other four people. This Erzhuang, who was sent back, seemed to be in a worse situation than him.
