After finishing the recording at the rock climbing field, Jiang Chunian looked at the time and it was already noon.
So he said, "Let's find a place to eat first."
"Is there a restaurant here?" Jiang Chunian asked.
"Yes," Zheng Jili said, "but the restaurants in the scenic area are very expensive, especially seafood. Just ordering a few dishes can cost thousands of yuan. We might not have enough money. Why don't we search and see if there are any cheap and delicious restaurants on the way to the diving project so we can eat there."
Jiang Chunian smiled and said, "Sure. But you don't have to pick a cheap restaurant, as long as it's delicious. We came here to enjoy ourselves. If we don't have enough money, we can just earn it."
"I know it's easy for you to make money, but fortune-telling is too time-consuming. We still have a task to do next. If we delay it too long, won't we lose? This won't do." Zheng Jili still cares about winning or losing.
Jiang Chunian couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, she doesn't care about winning or losing, because she can easily make money even without money. I'm afraid this is also the effect that the program team wants to see.
After all, netizens come to see her just to see her tell fortunes. How can she attract the audience if she just completes the tasks and doesn't tell fortunes?
But fortune-telling is feudal superstition after all. The program team cannot openly assign her the task of fortune-telling. They also have to consider the post-production editing. If it fails to pass the review, all the footage of Jiang Chunian fortune-telling may have to be cut. So when Jiang Chunian was alone, she thought about finishing the recording as soon as possible and going back to rest. Now that she called Zheng Jili, she wanted to take the little girl out for fun and didn't care much about the results at all.
But since the little girl cares, she should care too.
"Then let's look for a good and cheap restaurant. We have to eat well." Jiang Chunian comforted her: "You don't have to worry too much about the mission. Although the production team may not be kind to us and make some difficult problems, think about it, we are all so capable. We don't take missions lightly, do we?"
"That's true." Zheng Jili felt relieved. "Then I'll go to Dianping.com to see if there are any good restaurants."
"Let's ask our netizens too. Maybe there are friends in Lucheng." Jiang Chunian said to the camera, "It's time to eat. Can you all give me some advice?"
Netizens were also very enthusiastic and offered suggestions.
The last girl from Lucheng said that they would pass by their home on the way, and there was a seafood noodle restaurant there that was cheap and delicious. So Zheng Jili used the navigation and asked the driver to drive there. They found the noodle restaurant recommended by netizens, and the group went in to eat. The food was indeed delicious.
Jiang Chunian and Zheng Jili were about to leave after finishing their noodles when an old lady with white hair and a gaunt face staggered in, staring blankly at Jiang Chunian. "They say you're a fortune teller, and you're really good at it?"
"Yes." Jiang Chunian glanced at the old lady and asked gently, "Old lady, do you want to tell your fortune?"
"How much does it cost per divination? Is it accurate?" the old lady asked hesitantly.
"Five hundred per divination, you are not allowed to ask for money." Jiang Chunian said.
"Five hundred, that's too expensive." The old lady was startled and waved her hands repeatedly, "I won't count it."
Jiang Chu Nian didn't force it: "It doesn't matter."
The noodle shop owner came out and said, "Mrs. Zhang, you want to ask a fortune teller to tell you where your grandson is now, right? If that's the case, why are you afraid to spend the five hundred yuan? If the fortune teller is right, you'll know your grandson's whereabouts. If he's not, you won't have to spend a penny and you won't lose anything, right?"
The noodle shop owner told Jiang Chunian, "This old lady's surname is Zhang. Her husband died early, and she raised her son alone. Her son is very promising. He was admitted to university and found a good job. Later, he married a good wife and had a grandson. The family lived in harmony. But who knew that there would be unforeseen events? Three years ago, her son, daughter-in-law and children went to the zoo. On the way, they had a car accident. The son and daughter-in-law died on the spot. The grandson was protected by her daughter-in-law. In the end, he only had some scratches. It's not serious. The old lady lost her husband at a young age and her son in an old age. It's really hard. Fortunately, there is still a little grandson, which is a little comfort."
Everyone had a bad feeling. Zheng Jili asked, "Could something be wrong with my grandson?"
The old lady covered her face and cried, "Son, I'm sorry for you. I couldn't protect Jiezi."
The noodle shop owner helped the old lady sit down and said to Jiang Chunian with a sigh, "Old Lady Zhang's son and daughter-in-law passed away, leaving only the two of them. Fortunately, her son still has a house, and the perpetrators finally compensated them with a large sum of money, which was enough for Old Lady Zhang to raise Jiezi. But she never expected that the family of Old Lady Zhang's daughter-in-law were so black-hearted. Seeing that only the elderly, weak, women and children were left here, they came to rob the house, money and children. The old lady was alone and helpless. The house, money and children were all taken away by those black-hearted people. In the end, they were driven out and ended up on the streets, making a living by picking up garbage."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jili was immediately filled with righteous indignation: "Is there any justice in this world?! The old lady didn't call the police or sue them in court?"
Netizens also expressed their opinions: "Yes, the old lady's son also has a share of the house and savings, which will be inherited by the old lady and her grandson. She can inherit at least a quarter of the house. What's more, there is also compensation, which is not an inheritance. It all belongs to the old lady and her grandson."
"This woman's family is too abominable."
"Black-hearted."
The old lady cried, "We can't call the police or sue, they will beat Xiaojie."
The noodle shop owner sighed and said, "They calculated that the old lady only had Xiaojie as her only grandson and bloodline, so they snatched the child away and didn't let the old lady see the child at all. They also threatened the old lady with the child, saying that if the old lady dared to take the house and money from them, they would beat the child. The old lady had no choice but to agree."
Old Mrs. Zhang cried, "I originally thought that I was already in my forties, and it was no big deal for me to suffer a little. If they had taken the house and the money to raise my grandson well, I wouldn't have fought for the money. But I didn't expect that they would actually abuse Xiaojie. They are Xiaojie's grandparents and uncle, they have lost their conscience!"
I argued with them, and they beat and scolded me, threatening to beat Xiaojie to death if I went to find him again. But Xiaojie is my only grandson. How could I bear to watch him suffer such a hardship? I begged them to return Xiaojie to me. I didn't want the house or the money, I just wanted Xiaojie. Even if I had to pick up trash, I would fight for my life to raise Xiaojie well and let him study and become as successful as his father.
Everyone felt sad when they heard this. It’s so pitiful to see the love of parents in the world.
"So did the child come back later?" Zheng Jili asked hurriedly.
