Chapter 446: Do it Yourself
Mao Yuchen had called Grandma Zhan in advance. When the four of them arrived, the white-haired old lady was standing at the gate of the yard, looking around and waiting for them.
The old woman was very thin, with a slightly hunched back, but she was in good spirits, with a ruddy complexion and bright eyes.
Seeing Mao Yuchen, the old lady smiled. Mao Yuchen also laughed at her, ran up quickly, and held her shoulders. "Grandma Zhan, why did you come out? It's not like I don't know the way. You don't have to wait for me specially."
"Aren't you going to bring your friends? Guests are welcome," Grandma Zhan looked at the two men and one woman behind Mao Yuchen with smiling eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, these three people looked so eye-catching. The two young men were very handsome and had tall figures, especially the one wearing a smoky gray shirt. He had a faint smile on his lips and gentle eyes, which made people feel good about him.
The girl next to him had bright eyes and a radiant look, and was as beautiful as a star.
She asked Mao Yuchen,
"Isn't your friend a celebrity?"
Mao Yuchen was surprised, "Are you also watching the live broadcast online?"
...
...
Grandma Zhan: “???”
Mao Yuchen realized that he had misunderstood and immediately introduced Liu Man's identity, "She is my current boss, her name is Liu Man, and she is also an online female anchor."
Grandma Zhan was incredulous. "She looks about your age? Is she your boss? Don't you work in a supermarket?"
Mao Yuchen explained her recent situation to her again, telling her that Liu Lan sells cat food, Ye Ziliang is a director, and Yu Zhan is a veterinarian, and they came to her to shoot a documentary.
Grandma Zhan was very surprised about the occupations of these three people. She originally thought that Mao Yuchen brought new friends to volunteer.
"Hello, grandma. Let me tell you the details," Liu Man said politely to Grandma Zhan, "We are from the filming team of the online documentary "Cute Pet Hospital". We are preparing for the latest episode with the theme of 'saving stray animals'. Yuchen told me that you have been rescuing stray pets for many years and have a lot of experience in this area, so we would like to cooperate with you."
Grandma Zhan said, "I am old, I don't know how to use a mobile phone, I don't know what online documentaries are, I don't understand what you young people are doing, and I don't know what propaganda is."
Grandma Zhan thought that Liu Lan and the others were here to help her promote herself. In the past, she had been interviewed by several traditional media, claiming that they were "helping her promote herself," which was the newspaper news that Mao Yuchen had read. After all, her personal voluntary adoption of stray animals, and of so many of them, was a rare act of kindness and also a strange thing.
But after these reporters interviewed her and completed their work performance, there was no further news. Except for a few kind volunteers like Mao Yuchen who occasionally came to help, her life did not change at all.
The most infuriating thing is that some bored people saw the news, ran over to watch, laughed at her, called her mentally ill, confused, and said that she ate, lived and slept with animals, which was so dirty. They also scolded her for having such a loving heart, and asked why she didn't use the money to help children in poor mountainous areas.
Grandma Zhan finally realized that she was just fodder for the media and that no one took her seriously. She began to reject interviews from the news media and refused to answer calls from reporters. The reporters were turned down and thought that the old lady was ungrateful and that her kindness was not rewarded, so they gradually ignored her.
Seeing Grandma Zhan's wary look, Liu Lan quickly explained, "We are all pet lovers. I have two cats myself, one of which was a stray cat. It was dying when I picked it up, and my boyfriend saved it." Liu Lan pointed at Yu Zhan and said to her, "He has a dog, an abandoned dog."
She pointed at Ye Ziliang and said, "He is the one who proposed this theme. He has a cat and a dog, and he has a deep affection for his pets."
Hearing this, Grandma Zhan's expression softened.
"We are shooting a documentary, not news. We will pay you for the shooting. I will give you 200 bags of cat food. If your animals are sick, we can help you treat them for free."
Grandma Zhan's heart was moved. These solid things were much more useful than the reporter's light "propaganda"! She looked at the handsome young man behind Liu Lan. She still remembered Mao Yuchen's introduction, "Is your boyfriend really a veterinarian?"
"Yes, he is not only a veterinarian, but also the owner of a pet hospital, and his second store is about to open."
Grandma Zhan was beginning to believe that these three people were really here to do good deeds. She asked curiously, "Why don't you go to the Capital Stray Pet Protection Association? They are so large and seem much more formal than mine."
"To be honest, we have already contacted their person in charge and the matter was settled, but they suddenly changed their mind at the last minute, making my friends work in vain."
"Is the person in charge named Zhang?"
