C13 – I Can Raise Him!
Finally, the female director couldn’t resist speaking up.
“There are so many wild boars. Could we buy so from you?”
“One hundred per kilo, at and bones included. How much do you need?”
The female director was taken aback.
Since when had Zhao beco so generous?
Pah!
When had Zhao Yuegu ever been unscrupulous?
“How much are you willing to sell?”
“I just need two legs.”
“Then I’ll take the rest!”
“Deal.”
Ultimately, Zhao Yuegu kept around two hundred kilograms of at for himself.
Selling the wild boar at to the program team netted him over sixty thousand yuan.
To him, that sum was a re drop in the bucket compared to his assets.
But the main issue was that the wild boar was sowhat of a hassle to handle.
Selling it off was one less problem to worry about.
Then, everyone pitched in to butcher the wild boar.
The program team mbers, having never tried wild boar, were eager to taste it.
Zhao Yuegu felt a twinge of disappointnt as the system offered no extra rewards.
It seed that only tasks related to farming triggered the system’s bonuses.
Once properly prepared, the wild boar at was exceptionally tasty.
The at was tough and chewy, a challenge for anyone with weak teeth!
It wasn’t that the boar was old, but rather its robustness that gave the at its distinctive texture.
Zhao Yuegu went on to cure and smoke the remaining at.
Xueman would handle this task flawlessly.
Lin Luqin watched Zhao Xueman bustling about and couldn’t help but pout.
“She’s so young, how can you stand to see her work so hard?”
“What can I do if I can’t stand it?”
“Why don’t you do it?”
“She wouldn’t allow it.”
“That’s impossible.”
“She can’t stomach the food I make.”
“…”
Lin Luqin was at a loss for words.
What a person!
He couldn’t even cook!
In the end, Lin Luqin decided to lend Zhao Xueman a hand.
“Thank you, sister.”
Zhao Xueman and Lin Luqin gradually got to know each other better.
But it wasn’t long before Zhao Xueman deeply regretted it.
Lin Luqin’s idea of help was questionable at best.
She was obviously here just to stir up trouble!
And she managed to leave both of them looking disheveled.
They didn’t have a shred of talent!
Zhao Xueman was even beginning to worry that if Lin Luqin really married her brother, they’d have trouble just getting als on the table!
Lin Luqin cleared her throat and blew out a smoke ring, saying, “I’m not really sure how to handle this firewood…”
Zhao Yuegu wrung out his hand towel and passed it to the two beauties.
“Just cover it up with sothing, and let it smoke.”
“Why don’t you do it if you know how?”
“My knowledge is purely theoretical.”
“As for , I only know how to farm.”
“Don’t you want to do anything else in the future?”
Zhao Yuegu furrowed his brow, pondering deeply, a glint of determination in his eyes.
“Co on, tell
what you want to do.” Lin Luqin was sowhat eager.
“All the land in the village is mine.”
“You…”
Lin Luqin felt like she was on the verge of a ltdown!
What was the big deal about farming?
And what difference did it make if it was all hers?
Unfortunately, she had no idea of the joy that ca with tilling the land.
But she was overjoyed!
After dinner, everyone retreated to their respective rooms.
But before Zhao Yuegu could settle down to sleep, he heard Lin Luqin’s voice.
“Hey, isn’t your sister too old to still be sharing a bed with you?”
Zhao Yuegu gently squeezed Zhao Xueman’s face.
“Is that a problem?”
“n and won should be separate.”
“I can’t sleep well without soone by my side. How about you join ?”
Lin Luqin rolled her eyes in response.
“I can’t be bothered with you.”
Watching Lin Luqin walk away, Zhao Yuegu smiled and shook his head.
He had raised Zhao Xueman since she was little.
What hadn’t he seen?
Besides, in the winter, without a blanket, didn’t they still need to huddle together for warmth?
The conditions here were far from ideal!
Zhao Yuegu lay down in bed and quickly fell asleep beside Zhao Xueman.
Villagers, exhausted from a day’s work, never had trouble with insomnia.
anwhile, Lin Luqin, fast asleep, suddenly chuckled and drooled in her slumber.
“Zhao Xueman, why run? Can you even escape?”
Heaven only knows what dreams she had!
But co morning, the blanket was slightly damp.
Hmm.
Probably just so saliva that hadn’t dried…
In the days that followed, the program team continued their shoot in the village.
Zhao Yuegu naturally ended up in a lot of the footage.
Regrettably…
No one from the team brought up buying his waterlons again…
Yet selling a re hundred could net him a five million yuan reward from the system.
anwhile, his rapport with Lin Luqin deepened, their interactions growing more intimate.
The female director, however, grew concerned.
She felt compelled to have a heart-to-heart with Lin Luqin.
“You’re a celebrity, he’s a farr. What kind of future could you two possibly have?”
“Would you really abandon your acting career for him? Would your agency even allow you to break your contract? Are you ready to settle down with him in this backcountry and till the soil?”
“No matter how much he charges for his waterlons, can he truly sustain you on just a few acres?”
“The world isn’t a fairy tale. Eventually, we must face reality.”
Lin Luqin listened, her mind adrift.
She couldn’t deny the director’s words; they were logical and ant for her well-being.
Zhao Yuegu was rely a farr. How could he possibly provide for her?
Could she really consider living in this drafty house?
Yet, she couldn’t shake the image of Zhao Yuegu from her mind.
Her ti in the village had been the most joyous she’d felt in years!
But how long could she remain?
The program was already more than halfway through, and soon she’d have to leave with the team for the next shoot.
“Maybe…”
“I could be the one to support him!”
“Except…”
“Would he be willing to leave all this behind?”
Lin Luqin was suddenly awash with emotions.
Unbeknownst to him, their cozy village monts had been uploaded to Twitter by the program team for promotion—a classic showbiz move to stir up interest.
Zhao Yuegu’s plain attire couldn’t mask his ethereal charm.
Together, they were a picture-perfect couple.
Yet, to the surprise of many female fans, they felt Lin Luqin didn’t even co close to deserving Zhao Yuegu.
Consequently, this sparked a number of debates.
Regardless, the program team’s promotional efforts were successful.
Zhao Yuegu didn’t object to the program team leveraging his actions.
They were, after all, promoting the village as well.
As long as the road was built, any ans justified the end!
The the for the fourth day of shooting centered on the road.
The program team’s filming was drawing to a close.
But, in the midst of shooting, a sudden shout pierced the air.
“Quick, save him!”
