Chapter 24 Everyone has pigs to raise.
[I'm speechless. Who understands my emotional journey tonight? One minute I'm seeing my sister and the village chief and his wife being as close as family, and the next minute my own children are fighting like they're about to kill each other.]
I just want to chop off the hands that typed "deeply in love" in Gu Feihong's live stream a couple of days ago.
[What nonsense is he spouting? Ms. Lu is already as thin as a bamboo pole, how can he call her bloated? Bloated my foot!]
[I laughed. Ms. Lu is fifty years old, yet her voice is still so clear and bright. My mother was just discussing yesterday's impromptu performance. In contrast, Gu Feihong has only been able to sneak onto the judges' seats and give orders all these years, and he still has the nerve to say that Ms. Lu wouldn't have achieved what he has today if she had persevered.]
The scene was deathly silent.
Gu Feihong stared blankly at the camera, as if she were in a daze.
He slowly uttered two words: "It's over."
Lu Ping also subconsciously turned her head, and when she saw it, she was stunned, and then she smiled softly.
It's all a coincidence, but it's for the best.
Tu Chaoxi scoffed. Back then, he could probably see through Gu Feihong's true nature, but it was only when these words were spoken by the victim that he was truly shocked.
He walked towards the girl in the middle with a clear goal in mind.
She must have gotten a lot of mosquito bites from standing for so long late at night. She scratched herself several times and yawned a few more times.
She looks sleepy.
Tu Chaoxi patted her head: "Wake up, did you understand?"
Tu Yao glared at him resentfully: "Of course I understand! So he actually always knew that Aunt Lu sang very well."
"I know Aunt Lu isn't fat!"
As soon as he said that, the live stream chat exploded again!
My sister just woke me up!
[For thirty years, no one knows better than him how well Ms. Lu sings, yet he insists on belittling her; isn't that emotional abuse?]
Poor Ms. Lu, this is the ultimate form of domestic violence; without lifting a finger, the other party is covered in bruises.
Therefore, Gu Jun's attitude towards Ms. Lu is not without reason. Growing up listening to his father belittle his mother, he was bound to be influenced by what he heard.
[Wait a minute, so Gu Feihong deliberately belittled Tu Chaoxi's stage performance back then, just because Tu Chaoxi used Ms. Lu's song!]
[Knowing that Tu Chaoxi has been wronged, you fans should wait a bit.]
[What are you waiting for? When Tu Chaoxi adapted "The Story of the Jade Bracelet" back then, he must have investigated the performers. If he had been so determined, he could have found out about the relationship between Ms. Lu and Gu Feihong. But after being so belittled like this, he probably already knew what kind of person Gu Feihong was. That's probably why he called him an idiot.]
[Help! Tu Chaoxi on this show is getting whiter and whiter...]
Tu Yao stood there, and then... [Progress bar announcement: 40]
Her eyes lit up. Great! It was worth the trip.
Today is also a day to live to be 100!
When the production team arrived, the live broadcast room was already in complete chaos.
The comments were split evenly, with half criticizing Gu Feihong and the other half feeling sorry for Lu Ping. A few comments defending Tu Chaoxi also drifted through the gaps.
director:……
Whether it's good or bad, he hasn't made any good shows in his life, but ever since he came to this village, he's been constantly trending on social media.
No matter how chaotic things got, he first had someone help Gu Feihong, who looked utterly devastated, up from the ground.
The villagers who had come to watch the commotion were gradually dispersed.
Lu Ping was left, and Luo Meili immediately pulled her over with a serious expression, "Stay at my place."
With things having escalated to this point, she couldn't bear to let Lu Ping go back.
Tu Chaoxi didn't need to rush; she simply pulled Tu Yao away.
He hadn't taken more than two steps.
"etc."
The two turned around and saw Jiang Ye, who hadn't said a word the whole time.
Jiang Ye was holding his phone; the screen was still lit.
Tu Chaoxi raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"
Jiang Ye paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Thank you for taking me with you yesterday."
Tu Chaoxi: ...
He wasn't good at dealing with taciturn people, so he nodded haphazardly and said, "You're welcome."
He left after saying that.
Meanwhile, Tu Yao stared at the phone, leaned closer, and subconsciously read out four words onto the screen:
"Junior Brother Nan Ke."
Tu Chaoxi turned around and pulled the person away: "Hurry up, the medicine hasn't been applied yet!"
Tu Yao: "Oh."
The two quickly went inside.
Jiang Ye remained standing there, raising his phone again.
"Junior brother, I've finished thanking you."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, with only the sound of soft breathing.
"Junior brother?"
The next second, it died.
Jiang Ye didn't take it seriously and went back inside.
Overnight, Jiang Ye's live stream, which had already garnered over a million views, saw its replay count surpass ten million.
Gu Feihong's phone was constantly vibrating in the village. He dared not look at the online condemnation of him, but he couldn't resist the villagers' love of watching the drama unfold.
Early in the morning, a crowd had gathered in front of his house.
As Tu Yao passed by, she saw her third aunt leading the way, gesturing wildly to others about what had happened the night before.
"Oh dear, didn't you see? He came running over like a vengeful ghost, ready to beat his son and his wife!"
"That's really scary!"
Tu Yao scooped up a handful of melon seeds and asked in confusion, "Third Aunt, you weren't here yesterday either, how do you know so much?"
Third Aunt was indignant: "I wasn't there, but your Third Uncle's niece's second aunt was! Her second aunt said it looked like she was possessed by a ghost, and she almost invited me to perform!"
Tu Yao: ...
"oh."
She took two steps and then turned back.
She said earnestly, "Third Aunt, he's not possessed by a ghost, he's just bad."
"Sigh, if Third Aunt knew, not even a ghost would bother with him!"
And so, Auntie San kept coming and going all day long, her mouth never stopping, and Gu Feihong didn't dare to go out at all.
He didn't go out, but Lu Ping was leaving with the child.
In the evening, she said goodbye to the program crew and the villagers one by one.
Tu Yao glanced down and saw Gu Jun clinging tightly to Lu Ping, his eyes red, lost in thought.
He subconsciously looked up and saw Tu Yao, and immediately shuddered reflexively.
He bit his lip, and after a long while, he said in a muffled voice, "I... I won't pick flowers, and I love my mother too. Please don't make me carry the manure ladle."
Tu Yao blinked and smiled.
She reached into her pocket, pulled out a handful of candy, and stuffed it into his hand: "You said it."
Gu Jun nodded, and although he was a little reluctant, he accepted the candy.
Luo Meili looked a little worried and asked, "Big sister, what are your plans when you go back?"
Before Lu Ping could speak, Tu Yao casually said, "Raise pigs, then they'll have the strength to kick people."
Luo Meili glared at her irritably: "Don't talk nonsense again. They're not country bumpkins like us, why would they raise pigs!"
Tu Yao glanced at her with a knowing look: "Aunt Luo, you don't understand. You have your pigs to raise, and Aunt Lu has hers to raise too."
"We all have our own pigs to raise!"
Luo Meili's eyes flashed with a dangerous glint: "Then what is your pig? It's not some kind of mushroom from a pile of cow dung, is it?"
Tu Yao exclaimed, "Wow! Luo Ma, you're so smart!"
A smile slowly crept into Lu Ping's eyes as she looked at the girl in front of her and suddenly reached out to hug her.
Tu Yao was caught off guard: "Hey!"
Lu Ping got up again, rubbed her head, and looked into her bright and clear eyes: "Although I've already said it, Auntie wants to say it again."
"Thank you, Xiao Mao."
Even if it was unintentional, it still inadvertently awakened her and led her out of her predicament.
“You’re right, Auntie has her own pig too, and Auntie wants to raise it again.”
After returning home, Lu Ping unilaterally issued a divorce agreement.
After releasing the divorce agreement, he also released a comeback notice.
Just in time for the autumn recruitment season, she was able to land a job with a long-established theater troupe on the same day, thanks to her impromptu performance on the show.
The next morning, when the staff went to knock on Gu Feihong's door, they found that he was gone.
Checking the surveillance footage revealed that he had slunk away alone in the middle of the night.
The director stared at his back for a long time, feeling like he'd forgotten something. After a while, he frowned and said, "...I remember now, I haven't settled his appearance fee yet!"
He turned his head and muttered, "Luckily, I asked for Ms. Lu's account number in advance."
