After finishing the al, Gu Peihai eagerly went to wash the dishes.
Gu Wangchao was about to say sothing but stopped.
Tuanzi, with a smiling face, said, "Wangchao, you’re worried he might break a dish, right?"
"Cough, cough."
"Hehe, Brother Pei Hai can wash dishes, just not very cleanly," she said, rubbing her face.
Previously, the caraman had fild them washing dishes, but Gu Wangchao hadn’t been following the livestream closely and missed it.
He only rembered that at ho, Gu Peihai would break one dish for every three he washed.
Thankfully, Gu Peihai successfully finished washing.
The three were getting ready to work together.
Gu Peihai pretended to be the head of the household, putting on a stern face, "Firstly, we have run out of grains at ho. Our staple food is nearly zero, but there are so vegetables left in the field."
The first task for Room No. 3 was to solve the food shortage.
Therefore, Gu Peihai decided to do so farm work in exchange for rice for lunch. It would be even better if they could get so at.
"Secondly, the field hasn’t been fully plowed, and the yard isn’t fully tidied. The show team said that if the vegetable patch and yard are well-maintained, there could be rewards."
This task was assigned to Gu Wangchao, who was new here.
As for Tuanzi, her main task remained to take care of the chicks and ducklings. She could also visit the neighbors in the village, and if she could do so small tasks in exchange for food, it would be even better.
Gu Wangchao had no objection to this arrangent.
He ca here intending to take good care of his sister... and his brother.
Even if the ingredients were simple, he would try his best to make delicious als.
The Film Emperor skillfully picked up a straw hat given by a villager, and before leaving, he asked his brother, "Do you know how to till the vegetable field? If not, should I teach you?"
Gu Wangchao showed no expression, "We had gardening classes in elentary school."
Gu Peihai was about to say that they’re not the sa, but he quickly recalled how he often skipped gardening classes, feeling guilty.
"Alright, you all work hard, and I’ll bring food back."
He was about to leave when he felt his sleeve being tugged. He looked down to see his little sister staring up at him, puffing her cheeks.
Tuanzi blinked her big eyes.
The two of them gazed at each other.
Gu Peihai: "What’s wrong?"
"Brother Pei Hai, did you forget sothing?"
The Film Emperor blinked his eyes, looking innocent.
Tuanzi stamped her foot in frustration.
"Let’s talk inside!"
She stord toward the house, fuming.
Gu Peihai rubbed his head and gestured for the caraman not to follow them, then went inside as well. As he passed Gu Wangchao, he unexpectedly heard his brother say, "Don’t tease her; if you make her cry, your lunch will be plain water."
Gu Peihai, who indeed planned to tease a bit, was at a loss for words: "..."
Inside the bedroom, Gu Peihai raised both hands, "I’ll speak right away."
Tuanzi, who was brewing her anger, suddenly deflated. Her small chubby paws tapped the bed, "Go ahead."
"I’ve looked into it," Gu Peihai whispered, making sure that the device in the bedroom was off. "Two years ago, after Mrs. Yun’s parents passed away, her husband’s attitude changed."
Yun Xiuxiu’s parents were also opera perforrs. Even if they only mingled in the Quyi World, they knew quite a few people in the entertainnt industry, often bridging connections for Wei Cai. Otherwise, Wei Cai, with his diocre talents, wouldn’t have been able to beco a famous director.
Things beca cold after her parents passed away. Only a few nostalgic ones stayed in touch with their family. By then, Wei Cai was already a well-known director, acquainted with many producers, investors, and young beautiful actresses eager to flatter him.
"He changed."
Tuanzi’s eyes widened, "So that’s when he started hitting Sister Lin Ci and them?"
"Probably."
Gu Peihai could find out certain things, but so matters were dostic and couldn’t be thoroughly investigated.
However, he heard that indeed, two years ago, Yun Xiuxiu’s condition began to deteriorate. A colleague unexpectedly complained while drunk, ntioning she had wounds. During private gatherings, it was found Lin Ci also had injuries.
There were discussions in private, but not many who advised seriously.
"I’ve discovered that Mrs. Yun once filed for divorce in court."
If either party refuses to sign the divorce agreent, one has to file for divorce in court.
But soon after, Yun Xiuxiu withdrew the divorce suit and never ntioned divorce again, silently enduring dostic violence.
Tuanzi couldn’t understand.
"She once wanted a divorce, why didn’t she go through with it?"
If she had insisted on divorce back then, she and Lin Ci wouldn’t have to endure family violence for two years.
Gu Peihai rubbed his chin, "Therefore, I suspect Mrs. Yun has so leverage in Wei Cai’s hands."
Though opera perforrs don’t earn particularly high salaries, it would be entirely feasible for her to support herself and her daughter after a divorce. Moreover, Gu Peihai learned that Yun Xiuxiu usually never ntioned her husband. Colleagues said she was actually a decisive person.
Looking down, he noticed his sister’s little face all scrunched up, "Don’t worry, I’ll test out Mrs. Yun, especially since I accidentally obtained so photos and videos."
Given Wei Cai’s tendency to commit dostic violence against his wife and daughter, he’s certainly open to advances from young actresses.
His extramarital affairs, unlawful dealings in the industry, all these could aid Yun Xiuxiu in successfully obtaining a divorce.
If they provided her with this evidence and she still hesitated, perhaps the leverage in Wei Cai’s hands was even greater.
If that leverage involves cri, then there’s no need to help soone like that.
"And what can Miaomiao do?"
Tuanzi looked up pitifully, "Miaomiao wants to help too."
"You spend more ti with Lin Ci," Gu Peihai patted her little face. "You can also gauge her thoughts. She must’ve seen Wei Cai hitting her mother; maybe she’s long hoped for her parents to separate."
Sotis, the support of a child can solidify the mother’s decision.
Tuanzi nodded earnestly.
The three officially separated to work on their tasks.
Before playing with Lin Ci, Tuanzi was quite diligent in completing her assigned tasks.
Worried that Gu Wangchao wouldn’t adjust well, she ran to the vegetable field to find him, only to see the cool beauty seriously tilling the vegetable field. From awkward to skillful, the furrowed fields were particularly neat.
He even pulled out the eggplant bushes that weren’t blooming anymore and placed them by the back wall to dry for firewood.
A few winter lons were also picked and neatly arranged at the back wall; the vines were all neatly trimd.
The vegetable field looked particularly empty yet tidy now.
Tuanzi’s mouth dropped open in amazent, "Wangchao, you’re amazing!"
With a straw hat on, Gu Wangchao maintained a cool expression, "It’s nothing."
Tuanzi wasn’t about to miss a chance to flatter him and praised Gu Wangchao lavishly until his ears turned red, then she leisurely left.
She was planning to catch fish at the reservoir.
Upon reaching the reservoir, she was surprised to see a caraman there. On closer inspection, a stylishly dressed young man was sitting by the bank fishing.
His outfit didn’t look like he was there to fish but rather to pose for a poster.
At this mont, Lin Ci ca walking from the other side, "Cousin."
Cousin?
Tuanzi tilted her head, counting on her fingers.
If he’s her cousin, wouldn’t that make this young man Wei Cai’s nephew?
She grinned widely and cheerfully ran over.
The system had a premonition that this young man was in for trouble.
