Chapter 47

Nan Tao sympathetically said, "It's nothing. Didn't you say you were going to change some money?"

The proprietress glared at Nan Tao and said, "Why are you rushing me?"

Nan Tao was not angry at all, and said in a good-tempered manner: "Okay, okay, I won't rush you, you can do whatever you want."

The proprietress was confused by Nan Tao's attitude. Just now, this man was so aggressive and annoying, like a dog-skin plaster that couldn't be driven away. How could he change into such a different person in the blink of an eye?

Forget it, never mind, just exchange the money and send the guy away, it’s disgusting to watch.

The lady boss had just started to leave, but before she had taken two steps, she heard her son calling her. She quickly turned around and asked, "Son, what's the matter?"

"What are you doing? There's no food. I'm hungry. Hurry up and cook for me!"

The lady boss said: "I'm sorry, son. Wait a minute. I'll come back and cook for you after I change the money for them."

The fat yellow-haired boy looked Nan Tao up and down and said disdainfully, "It's just a shabby thing that's not worth much. I study so hard at school every day, and you refuse to cook for me!"

Lady boss: “But…”

"What do you mean by "but"?! I'm starving! Do you want to starve me to death? Is money more important, or am I? I don't want to study anymore. What's the point of going to school? If you don't give me food, I won't go!"

The proprietress was shocked, "How can you not go to school?" She smiled flatteringly, "My dear son, you are the educated one in the family. Mom is counting on you to go to college and bring honor to the family. I will cook for you now."

"I'm going in to play games. You make dinner and bring it to me." After saying that, he slammed the door.

Nan Tao saw the proprietress was about to leave in a hurry, so she quickly stopped her and said, "Change the money for me first and then cook. Otherwise, how long will I have to wait for you here?"

The lady boss quickly grabbed Nan Tao and said, "My dear aunt, please keep your voice down. If my son hears you, he will make a scene. He is in the first year of high school now and we cannot afford to delay at this critical moment. Please wait for me for a while. I will change the money for you as soon as I finish cooking."

Nan Tao: "He's fine in the first year of high school, not the third year. Besides, it's not the weekend. Shouldn't he be in school for evening self-study at this time? Why did he come back so suddenly? And it's very fast to go to the supermarket next door to change money. When I came in, I saw that the supermarket was not far from here, not even 300 meters away, and it wouldn't take more than five or six minutes."

The proprietress doted on her son very much. She held him in the palm of her hand and gave him whatever he wanted, not to mention that her son was admitted to the best high school in the county to bring honor to her. Whenever she met the neighbors, she would praise her son for being a top student. Everyone within a ten-mile radius would praise her for being lucky to have raised a promising son.

In the eyes of the boss lady, nothing is more important than her son's affairs. Her son's affairs are the father's affairs. Even making money is not as important as her son. After all, she can only make a little money by recycling waste. But her son is different. He is a cultured person and a top student. He will make a lot of money in the future.

Therefore, Nan Tao's normal words sounded particularly harsh to the boss's wife, and she said angrily: "What do you know?! My son has good grades, how can he be the same as those poor students in the eyes of the teacher? Poor students stay in school and attend evening self-study. My son said that he has good grades and the teacher trusts him very much. It is normal for him to come home without evening self-study occasionally."

"Mom, what are you making a fuss about outside?! Tell them to get out of here and cook for me! I'm starving!"

The lady boss heard her son's angry roar and replied in a panic, "Don't worry, son. Mom will cook for you right away. It will be ready in a moment. It will be ready in a moment."

Nan Tao was speechless. "The time you spent here arguing with me is enough for you to exchange the money and come back."

The proprietress ignored him, walked to the side of the hut, built a simple kitchen, and hurried to cook for her precious son.

Nan Tao walked over and suggested, "How about I take your phone and exchange it for money?"

The lady boss poured oil into the pot, put in scallions and ginger, and took the time to reply: "Do you think I'm stupid? Don't look at your nice clothes. They are all tattered. How can you have money? I give you my phone, but you might run away with my phone in the blink of an eye. I tell you, I have seen many people like you. The clothes you and your son wear are all picked up from the garbage. Don't think that you are rich just because you wear nice clothes. It's just a pipe dream."

Nan Tao: “…”

She looked down at the clothes she was wearing. She bought them specially for participating in this program and wore them for the first time today. She didn't expect that people would complain that she picked them up from the trash. Who is so rich that she just bought them for more than 200,000 yuan and never wore them once? And she said she would just throw them away? Even as rich as she is, she is not rich enough to be so extravagant.

Looking at the confident expression of the proprietress, Nan Tao suddenly laughed, "Hahaha!"

The lady boss said unhappily, "What are you laughing at? I just didn't change your money. You don't have to be mad."

Nan Tao felt that her hard work this afternoon was not in vain, otherwise how would she have the chance to have fun now.

Not only Nan Tao was having fun, but the netizens who were watching the live broadcast were also having fun and laughing together.

[I am dying of laughter. Taozi is wearing the latest model from D. A set costs two or three hundred thousand. Who is such a rich man who throws away such expensive clothes? Can you tell me in advance so I can get a bargain?]

[Oh my god, I am dying of laughter. I can’t take it anymore. I am almost dying of laughter. The lady boss of the waste recycling shop is dying of laughter. ]

[I have a question. If I die of laughter, can my family ask the boss for compensation? ]

[Taozi didn't wear any jewelry this time, otherwise the boss lady would be scared to death. ]

[The guy above, are you sure you scared the boss lady to death, rather than being criticized by her for picking up garbage? Hahahaha…]

[Boss lady 666, I’m calling you]

[Everyone is complaining about the boss lady, is there no one who sympathizes with her? Her son lied to her and got admitted to the county's No. 1 middle school. How horrible.]

[There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. She dotes on her son so much, won't she be doomed sooner or later?]

[Normal people would exchange money for the customer first and then cook for their son, but look at what the boss lady did? She actually ignored the customer and cooked for her son directly. This kind of pampering is a bit scary. ]

[The key point is that her son scolded Taozi for being poor. It was so funny. If I were as poor as Taozi, I would wake up laughing in my dreams.]

【Habits are like killing children. 】

【Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I suddenly seem to see the boss lady's reaction when she knows the truth, absolutely awesome. I admit that I can't get used to seeing the boss lady acting like a baby. Is being a boy so great? Who is not a person anymore.】

Nan Tao waved her hands repeatedly, "There's nothing to be angry about. Madam Boss, you are telling the truth."

The proprietress felt something was wrong. She had seen honest people before, but she had never seen anyone as honest as him. Most people would get angry or look unhappy if they were told that their clothes were picked up from the garbage. But this guy was still smiling. He was simply insane.

The proprietress didn't pierce anyone's lungs, and she was secretly sulking. She accidentally turned on the gas stove too much, and with a bang, the flames quickly grew larger and then disappeared without a trace.

The proprietress frowned and turned the switch again. There was no response. She bent down and shook the gas tank with her hand. A small flame popped out, but it didn't last for two seconds before it went out again.

"What's going on? Why are you out of energy?" The lady boss stamped her feet in anger.

Nan Tao was surprised and exaggerated: "What? He's dead! What should we do? Madam, please think of a solution quickly. Your son can't be hungry. His body is so precious. If he can't eat a meal right away, he will get hungry."

The lady boss's face turned green with anger, and she pointed at Nan Tao and trembled, "Are you being weird?"

Nan Tao blinked innocently, frowning slightly, "How can you judge others by your own standards? I care about your son's health, but you accuse me of being weird? It's really hurtful."

The proprietress was hesitant and for a moment couldn't tell whether what the man said was true or false.

Nan Tao said, "Look, it's getting dark, and you can't cook now. Why don't you go to the supermarket to buy some food for your son? Otherwise, what will happen if your son gets hungry? You can also change some money for me. It's not a good idea for me to stay here all the time, don't you think?"

The boss lady said: "Yes, yes, yes, why didn't I think of that? Thank you for reminding me. I misunderstood you just now. I will go right away. Please wait for me and I will be back soon."

The proprietress said that he left so quickly, probably because she was afraid that her baby son would be hungry, so he ran as fast as he could. He came back not long after he left.

"Can you please count it?" the proprietress handed over the money.

Nan Tao took it and didn't even need to count it. As long as there was a big red bill, she would have completed her mission. The remaining few dimes were nothing. She waved the bills in her hand and said to the proprietress, "Thank you. I'll come again next time."

The proprietress paused and shouted at the person's back, "Little girl, you'd better not come next time."

Nan Tao raised her lips, and walked happily with Yu Ze towards where the program team's bus was parked.

After getting in the car, I saw Jiang Hui and Zhan Li, "How did you complete your mission?"

Jiang Hui: "Don't mention it, I might as well go pick up trash."

Nan Tao waved her hands quickly, "Don't do that. You don't know how hard it is to pick up trash. There's a whole huge square. Do you think we can just pick up trash and that's it? NO! Xiaoze and I still have to sweep up the trash. And it's not enough to just sweep up the trash. We also have to drag the heavy waste to sell it. The boss lady of the recycling shop is also very troublesome. She refuses to accept my waste. I almost failed to complete the task."

Jiang Hui sighed, "Then I'd rather go pick up trash. You don't know what I did as a part-time worker this time... Oh, it's hard to put it into words."

Nan Tao asked curiously, "No way, is it so bad that you are willing to even pick up trash?"

Jiang Huisheng said helplessly: "Do you know how dirty the room of the family I cleaned was? It was not about cleaning at all, but there was no space to step. It was so disgusting. It was full of garbage that had been there for who knows how long. It stank to death and was infested with worms. If it wasn't for having dinner in the evening, I would have wanted to quit my job."

Nan Tao: "Yeah~, just listening to your description makes me feel suffocated."

At this time, Jiang Hui's fans entered Nan Tao's live broadcast room. Since Nan Tao and Jiang Hui were good friends, the two groups of fans got along very peacefully.

[I ran here from Huihui's live studio. It was so painful. I felt like vomiting just by looking at it.]

[The most annoying thing was that when Huihui was live streaming, I was eating and I immediately threw my food aside.]

[Is it really that miserable? I thought Taozi was quite pitiful, but from what you guys said, actress Jiang is even more miserable.]

[It’s not worse, it’s very worse! Damn the production crew! ]

Jiang Hui: "The mission is accomplished. I may not be able to eat dinner. Ugh~ I can't think about it..."

Nan Tao quickly comforted him: "Don't think about it. The more you think about it, the more you will miss it. Let's think about something else that is beautiful."

While the two were talking, the program crew's bus picked up Zhou Mei and her daughter.

Nan Tao happily held little Yang Xuan in her arms and rubbed her, while asking, "Meimei, how was your mission today?"

Zhou Mei smiled subconsciously, then pursed her lips, pinched her brows, and said tiredly, "It's okay."

Nan Tao was horrified when she saw Zhou Mei suddenly fake smile, and she stepped back tactically.

He blinked in confusion, trying to figure out what the word meant.
