Shi Hongmei felt her emotions plummet to rock bottom. Why did her NPC son, Xiao Wu, have to sacrifice himself?! He was just going to join the army, why did he have to die?!
She even began to wonder if Xiao Wu would have survived if she hadn't sent him to the army.
Shi Hongmei quickly shook her head. Wait a minute, shouldn't she be recording the "Ten Thousand Yuan Household" program?! Waaah~, the production team is so heartless!! They actually pulled this stunt!!! Give me back my NPC son!!! Why did they give him away and then take him back!!!
"Liu Xiaozhuang has sacrificed his life."
Liu Wumei was somewhat incredulous when she received the letter, but Shi Hongmei, standing beside her, seemed rather dazed.
Liu Xiaozhuang would correspond with Aunt Liu every day or two. When Liu Wumei got off work that day, she went to help pick up the mail as usual, only to find Shi Hongmei sitting in the post office with tears streaming down her face.
【Wait, what?! What's this show doing?! Isn't it supposed to be a money-making game?! Why are people sacrificing themselves?! !!!】
[Liu Xiaozhuang has sacrificed his life, but what will happen to Grandma Liu?!]
[How could he have died?! We're just recording a TV show!]
No wonder the new contestant on the show "Battle of the Hundred Regiments" next door looked so familiar; it turns out he was a contestant from "Ten Thousand Yuan Household."
After receiving the letter, Liu Wumei hesitated for a moment and then consulted with several other Zhuang and Sanmei.
“I saw that Mom has been drying cotton lately, preparing to make cotton shoes for Liu Xiaozhuang. What are we going to do now?”
Sanmei said, "Why don't we just tell Mom directly? It's a TV show, she should be able to accept it."
Liu Wumei shook her head. "No, you don't know that Mom mentioned in a previous conversation that her youngest son died young. I'm worried that if she finds out, she might be reminded of the past."
The group fell silent, deciding not to tell Aunt Liu yet, but they still had to keep imitating Liu Xiaozhuang's previous reply frequency.
“Destroy this letter. I’ll make up for the cost of each mailing by Liu Xiaozhuang.”
"Who will claim those military belongings?"
Liu Dazhuang spoke up, "I'll go. I'll just say I'm on a business trip to the meat processing plant." Seeing the others looking at him, he added, "After all, I'm the eldest brother, so it's more appropriate for me to go."
Liu Wumei hadn't expected that this "big brother" who was younger than them would be so responsible! She really hadn't anticipated it. After all, since the communal meals were gone, they'd all been secretly cooking for Aunt Liu, and they'd bumped into each other a few times.
"Okay, I'll write the letter. Count me in the salary that's mailed in the letter."
Liu Erzhuang pursed his lips and remained silent.
What's Liu Dazhuang doing on the train?!
Liu Dazhuang went to the army base to collect Liu Xiaozhuang's belongings.
[Huh?! His belongings?! This is from the "Ten Thousand Yuan Household" program, right?!]
Yes, you didn't go to the wrong place. Liu Xiaozhuang was killed in action and eliminated from the battlefield.
【No way?! There's this kind of thing happening too?!】
Liu Dazhuang and Shi Hongmei arrived at the department together. He looked at the other people who were still training and felt a bit complicated.
Liu Xiaozhuang was only a few months older than him, and he had even forgotten the last time they met. He never imagined he would never see him again. Wait, Liu Xiaozhuang didn't really die! Liu Dazhuang shook his head, trying to shake off these strange thoughts.
Liu Dazhuang looked at Liu Xiaozhuang's packed belongings, which included candies he couldn't bear to eat, a rabbit fur scarf and gloves, and letters. Looking at the badge in his hand, he murmured, "So this is the Martyr's Medal."
It's not heavy at all, but it feels very heavy.
Liu Dazhuang looked at the unfinished letter he hadn't sent. It told Aunt Liu not to make him a cotton-padded coat, saying the army would issue overcoats in winter, and he'd look incredibly handsome in one. He promised to wear it back home on leave, guaranteeing Aunt Liu wouldn't recognize him. It also mentioned that Liu Xiaozhuang had finally made it into the top ten and received meat coupons, so he was sending Aunt Liu to the state-run restaurant alone for meat buns, not allowing them to take the others with them.
He was so angry he laughed. Really, what were they all so wary of?
Looking at the slightly melted White Rabbit milk candy, Liu Dazhuang's eyes also stung, and he looked away from the window.
Six little birds were chirping and singing on a slender branch. Suddenly, the outermost bird flew away. How come there are only five left? Wouldn't it have been better if the other birds had moved further in so that the last bird could also perch there?
Liu Dazhuang felt a dampness on his face.
[Waaaaah~ Liu Xiaozhuang is gone just like that?! He didn't even get a proper farewell before he was gone?]
[That's it. Liu Xiaozhuang's personal live stream has been shut down, just like the other eliminated contestants.]
【Seriously, Director Lin, is this appropriate? Are you trying to sabotage me on a variety show?! Don't you even consider what kind of show this is?!】
[I took every precaution I could, even getting through "Never to See You Again," and you stabbed me in the back when I was least expecting it?! Lin Gou!!! You're truly something else!!!]
Lin Xiaoxiao in the monitoring room was also helpless. This wasn't her idea! Really! Why did all these viewers think it was hers?! It's a misunderstanding!
Don't think she doesn't know; the staff members are looking at her with resentment. It really wasn't her! She's been wronged this time!! She won't take the blame!!!
"Director Lin, could you let Liu Xiaozhuang say goodbye to Aunt Liu?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was completely baffled when the staff next to her asked her a question. It wasn't her who started this whole thing!
Chen Fei from Feiyang Entertainment said with red and swollen eyes, "Aunt Liu is my grandmother. Her youngest son went to the city to work before, but he was tricked into joining a pyramid scheme and died."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao almost wanted to tell Zhang Nan that he was truly despicable!
