Chapter 57: Chapter 56: Soone Kidnaps a Child Chapter 57: Chapter 56: Soone Kidnaps a Child Mianmian had no idea that her seventh grandchild was overthinking things; she was anxious at the mont.
Even if she could foresee a bad event, the details of big issues related to herself couldn’t be predicted at all, so she also wouldn’t know if the people around her would be affected.
Though her mother had told her not to panic when faced with such situations and that there would always be a solution to problems that arose, Mianmian still panicked.
She worriedly pressed her chubby cheeks with her hands, kneading her puffy little face over and over.
The sun was scorching, and she had been picking waterlons all along; her little cheeks were already quite red. Now, as she rubbed her face with both little hands, not only did she make her face redder, but she also looked like a troubled little hamster.
In the live broadcast room, those who specialized in capturing emojis were delighted to take screenshots for their collections. But so fans, who firmly believed in Mianmian’s “expert” identity in taphysics, were already worried along with Mianmian.
[On of great misfortune, what does it an exactly?]
[Oh my god, are the cute little buns going to encounter trouble, or will soone else be in danger? I love all the remaining guests now; I hope nothing bad happens to them.]
“What’s wrong?”
Mianmian, who was in the midst of her troubles, suddenly heard Chu Ye’s voice.
She held her little face and turned her head to look at Chu Ye.
There was so dirt on Chu Ye’s face, a result of wiping away sweat with his hands.
Upon seeing this, Mianmian couldn’t help but take out a handkerchief from her small bag and quietly used the Water Summoning Magic to dampen it, proceeding to wipe Chu Ye’s face.
Chu Ye was taller than her, so she had to stand on tiptoe to reach his face.
Chu Ye, caught off guard by Mianmian’s gesture to wipe his face, took the handkerchief after a mont of surprise: “Thank you, I can do it myself.”
He took a glance at Mianmian’s small backpack and confird in his mind his father’s hypothesis that “Mianmian’s small backpack is a storage bag”, then once again asked with concern, “What’s troubling Mianmian?”
When asked again, Mianmian let out a long sigh like an adult, and replied with a low voice filled with unprecedented panic and sorrow, “There’s going to be a problem, a big problem, but Mianmian doesn’t know what it is. She only knows it’s sothing bad that will affect many people, Mianmian doesn’t know what to do, and doesn’t know if she can solve it.”
Her tone was truly one of the most frantic and sad she had ever experienced.
Chu Ye finished wiping his face, and after a mont of silence, he responded to Mianmian, “Not knowing what to do now is okay. When the problem cos, we will definitely find a way to solve it.”
Mianmian listened, but still did not cheer up: “Mianmian might not be able to solve it.”
What if it can’t be solved?
Chu Ye imdiately asked Mianmian a question, “Will I die then?”
The bewildered look in Mianmian’s eyes suddenly beca firm: “No, you won’t. Mianmian promised to save the little brother, and he will not die.”
Chu Ye continued to console her, “If a bad thing happens, I think Mianmian will definitely turn it into sothing good, just as I think Mianmian will definitely save .”
This sentence was far more effective than the earlier one.
Mianmian imdiately clenched her small fists: “That’s right, oh! If there’s a bad guy coming, Mianmian can fight it off. For other things, Mianmian will definitely think of a solution.”
Seeing Mianmian’s newfound determination, Chu Ye let out a sigh of relief: “I soiled the handkerchief; I’ll wash it and return it to you.”
Mianmian nodded absent-mindedly: “Okay.”
Then, while holding a large waterlon, she twisted it open and her big eyes rolled around, hoping to spot any trace of an impending on.
To her surprise, she did not see any ominous signs but instead caught sight of her seventh grandchild, Su Chenfei, squatting on the ground with a waterlon, doing who knows what.
“Seventh grandchild, what’s wrong?” Mianmian pondered. “Were you frightened by the on? Don’t be afraid, Mianmian will think of a way to solve it, okay?”
As she spoke, she even patted her small chest to show she could handle it.
Su Chenfei glanced at his little auntie and just hearing the word “on” made him feel a headache coming on. Rembering how it was only after Chu Qi’s reminder that he knew what those two characters looked like made his headache worse, and the guilt in his eyes deepened.
“I’m sorry, little auntie.” Su Chenfei quickly apologized.
Mianmian was clueless. “What’s wrong? Weren’t you scared? Did you smash the waterlon?”
Su Chenfei glanced at Chu Qi, who was responsible for another lon field nearby, steadied himself, and stood up with a smile on his face. “It’s all right now, it’s all right. The seventh grandchild is fine. Isn’t it just an on? The seventh grandchild also believes little auntie can solve it!”
Then he cooperated with Mianmian to pick the waterlon from the vine and carried it into the waterlon pergolas nearby.
The grandparents in the village were also picking waterlons.
Once the waterlons were ripe, they had to be picked, and they were only fresh for a few days before they needed to be transported to the market for sale. Other villagers nearby also grew waterlons, so it wasn’t guaranteed they’d sell easily.
So everyone spent the day laboring in the waterlon field, and by night, they were so tired that after a shower, they just went to sleep. The next day, they continued picking.
The adults were sowhat unable to bear the continuous labor; Xu Weiwei had already complained several tis, but the Little Buns working with the adults in the lon field were very energetic, and none of the four little guys had complained about being tired.
Despite being small, they helped by bringing water to the adults, pushing empty carts, or finding waterlons in the field; they all pitched in.
On the third day, Director Hu’s task arrived.
“Each group of guests has 30 waterlons to sell in the market, adults are not allowed to intervene, and can only serve the children. Children are allowed to use any thod to sell the waterlons at the market price, rember, any thod,” Director Hu emphasized once more, and even winked at Mianmian, “The group that sells the fastest will continue to have the right to live in this small villa, and the slower ones, sorry, you’ll have to move out of the house, those are the rules.”
“Now that the rules have been explained, let repeat them once more for the children.”
Director Hu restated the task in terms a child could understand and emphasized to each child that they were now competitors.
If the assigned waterlons do not sell, they and the adults will be evicted from the air-conditioned room. The last one to sell their waterlon may even have to stay in a heat-retaining clay house.
[Hahaha, after days of loving companionship, they suddenly beca competitors, and the little guys were all dumbfounded.]
[I saw that too, did you guys see it? Zeze’s expression is so cute, looking at Mianmian imdiately, not wanting to compete with her at all.]
[Gu Youyou is the sa, looking like she doesn’t want to compete.]
[I feel like the Little Buns might not have understood properly.]
The audience was very interested in the new content of the show and discussed it eagerly in the Live Broadcast Room. Even without the guests causing a stir, the show’s popularity remained high.
The four groups of guests rode on tricycles and arrived at the market together with the waterlons before dawn.
Director Hu assigned the area for selling waterlons, which was roughly around the street they ca to when they first arrived here. On the street, there were already several waterlon stalls, which ant the guests also had other vendors as competitors.
“It’s you guys,” Director Hu had just finished when the policeman who helped with the case of the sow that day suddenly appeared, his face sowhat serious. “You guys need to keep an eye on the children. The street has been a bit uneasy recently, with people abducting kids, so we’ve strengthened the police presence on the busier streets.”
