Chapter 69 Things of Value
Tu Yao subconsciously looked at Tu Chaoxi.
"elder brother……"
"I'm done talking."
Tu Chaoxi suddenly squatted down and rubbed her face.
Others didn't take it seriously, but he remembered it. The day Tu Yao led him to see that mushroom house for the first time, the joy, satisfaction, and pride in her eyes made it impossible for him to treat it as a joke.
Even though it left a mark on his heart, he never expected it to be for this reason.
Tu Yao quickly ran over and squatted down as well.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Tu Chaoxi looked up and took a deep breath: "You need to have capital, right? Building mushroom houses, cultivating spawn, and managing them all cost money."
Tu Yao nodded: "Yes, didn't the director uncle sign a contract with me?"
Fifty thousand yuan!
Tu Chaoxi: ...
I'm going to die! It was him who personally delivered the contract!
Tu Chaoxi: "...Have you thought about it? This place is so remote, transportation might not be smooth, and there's a possibility of being pressured to lower the price."
"Moreover, the roads in Xianhe Village are too narrow; even slightly larger trucks cannot pass through."
Tu Yao: "Of course I've thought about it. Didn't we sell a batch of cream puffs when we went to the market to film a show before?"
Everyone nodded in unison; they remembered that the cream puffs had won against Teacher Ma by a mere dollar.
Tu Yao continued, "Actually, in the neighboring county, cream puffs cost one yuan each, but in our county they only cost fifty cents each."
"It's because our county is too remote that people are not very willing to come here to collect goods, and even if they do come, they will try to lower the price by half."
"So I was prepared for the price to be lowered."
Tu Chaoxi persisted: "Then what about the road?"
Tu Yao smiled mysteriously: "I overheard Ding's parents talking before. They said that after using the venue fee from the program to treat the villagers, they plan to use the rest to build a main road from our village to the bus station."
"Once the main road is repaired, big trucks will be able to pass!"
Tu Chaoxi tried to discourage her: "Then who should we sell it to?"
Tu Yao shook her head: "I don't know that yet."
“But I can find a market. I can take my button mushrooms to other places to sell them, to the county, to the city, just like I slowly tried to grow button mushrooms before. I will slowly look and keep looking, and I will definitely find a market.”
Tu Yao spoke earnestly, radiating an aura of determination and resilience.
The director never imagined that the show's viewership would reach even greater heights now that it's been filmed.
From the moment Tu Yao began explaining the reason, the number of views surged by tens of thousands per second.
[...So she had been planning this for a long time.]
[Every day in the live stream, people tease her about picking up cow dung, playing house, and being heartless and getting beaten up every day. But she has big dreams, little sister, I'm so moved.]
Tu Chaoxi, don't worry about it. Let your little fan do it.
Tu Chaoxi remained silent for a while before giving in and saying, "...Alright then, go ahead and expand production according to your plan. I won't stop you."
Tu Yao stammered, "But...but, I want you to help me."
Tu Chaoxi: ...
The staff couldn't help but laugh: "Little sister, would you like Teacher Tu to help you with the farming?"
Tu Yao waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no!"
Tu Chaoxi looked at her expressionlessly and pointed out the crux of the matter: "You want to get the villagers to grow button mushrooms with you, but Da Pang's parents will definitely not agree, because they, like me, are determined to get you into school. Your plan to save Crane Village may convince us, but it certainly won't convince them."
Given Luo Meili's tendency to beat people up the moment she saw her picking up cow dung, the couple absolutely couldn't bear to put this heavy burden on a child.
"So you want me to be the persuader."
Tu Yao's eyes lit up immediately, and she looked at him expectantly: "Wow! Brother, you're so smart!"
Tu Chaoxi: ...
Tu Chaoxi immediately stood up and snorted heavily, "Don't give me that! You brat! I'm already being very kind by agreeing to let you farm!"
Tu Yao quickly grabbed him: "Brother! Please help me!"
Tu Chaoxi let her plead without saying a word. He wanted to keep her in check so that she wouldn't develop the habit of only coming to him when things got tough.
Just then, a hesitant voice, tinged with a hint of probing, suddenly came: "...How about I help you?"
Everyone: ?
I turned my head and looked.
Is it Xu Bai?!
Tu Yao: ? ? ?
The young man was dressed in trendy brands and looked nonchalant.
He had been standing there, seemingly invisible, ever since he heard Tu Yao's words, but now, as if he had suddenly realized something, he nodded to himself:
“I’ll go and persuade that chubby kid’s parents. If they don’t agree, I can farm with you.”
"After all, I still have quite a bit of strength."
Everyone: ? ? ?
No way, you're a young master from Hong Kong, coming here to farm? Are you crazy?!
Xu Bai found it increasingly feasible as he listened. His uncle was right to say that he had no value, but he also felt that he was not wrong either.
For the past twenty years, he has indeed never encountered anything that has inspired a strong desire to dedicate himself to or fight for it.
—Until the last second, he heard Tu Yao say that she didn't want Crane Village to disappear.
At that moment, the impact on his soul was deafening; it felt as if he had been struck on the head!
He never imagined that life could be lived this way.
Even a village girl with amnesia can start by collecting cow dung and gradually build up her ideals, overcoming countless difficulties and dangers without ever backing down!
And what about him?
He clapped his hands suddenly!
There is nothing more valuable than this!
Tu Yaoneng, he can do it too!
After figuring it out, Xu Bai immediately rushed over enthusiastically: "Big sister! Let me help you!"
Tu Yao stared blankly at him, and the next second, she turned and ran!
She must be crazy to agree to let the male lead help her!
Tu Yao ran away while loudly refusing, "No, no, you don't need to help me!"
Xu Bai quickly chased after him: "Yes, yes, I'll help you!"
"Really, you don't need to!"
"Hey, sis! Don't run away! I'm serious!"
"I'll help you!"
In the footage, the two chased each other, running a distance of ten meters on the spot.
On the table, Xu Bai's phone kept vibrating.
Xu Chi looked straight ahead, smiled almost inaudibly, and turned his phone upside down.
...
In a garden villa in the port city, Bai Chumeng made more than a dozen phone calls, but no one answered. Her face gradually darkened.
Immediately remembering something, she turned on the live stream and saw Xu Bai running and shouting on the screen, "I'll help you with the farming! Let's grow button mushrooms together!"
Bai Chumeng: ? ? ? ?
Just then, a head of curly hair suddenly appeared in the entryway.
"Chu Meng! I've come to see you!"
Curly-haired man turned his gaze and caught sight of the figure chasing after someone on the screen; his bright smile vanished instantly.
Pointing at the screen, he cursed, "Isn't that Xu Bai, that damned bastard!"
What is he doing?!
Bai Chumeng's expression changed slightly, and she quickly coughed twice: "...Sangsang, what brings you here?"
The girl in front of me was decked out in luxury brands from head to toe, with flaxen curly hair and wide, round eyes. The next second, she charged over in a flurry of activity.
How did he get inside?
The next second, the camera focused on the girl running ahead of Xu Bai, who was covered in sweat.
Cheng Sangsang's eyes widened even more!
In an instant, the voice was like a nightingale that had split its wings!
"Tu...Tu Yao?!"
How did those two end up together?
