Very Happy Ch57.1 - Broadcast

Chapter Ch57.1 - Broadcast

In the afternoon at the vegetable market, few people ca to buy vegetables and the guests looked at the remaining 120 kg of sweet potatoes.

“Do we have to sell it on the street?” Zhang Kui suggested.

“It is feasible. There aren’t many people at the vegetable market right now.” Xiang Zhen agreed with Zhang Kui’s proposal and the other guests were also eager to try.

Li Zhao finished eating the last mouthful of stead bread. “However, if we set up a stall outside then we will be caught by the city’s managent. The news in the entertainnt section tomorrow will be that we occupied the road to do business and was fined by the city’s managent. Other artists are in the news for being too handso, too beautiful or good at acting. Wouldn’t it be shaful if we are arrested by the city’s managent?”

“It is really shaful.” The guests of the show couldn’t imagine it at all.

“There are these sweet potatoes left. What are we going to do?”

The mont he spoke, soone ca over and asked, “Are you selling sweet potatoes?”

“Yes, we’re selling sweet potatoes.” Zhang Kui’s spirit ca alive. “How much do you want to buy?”

“These potatoes are a bit small.”

“You can co over and pick.”

”If you make it cheaper then I’ll take all of them.”

Zhang Kui wanted to nod but Li Zhao stopped him from behind. “Boss, you want to buy sweet potatoes?”

“Yes.” The person who ca was in his 30s or 40s, with a slightly bulging stomach and a purse hanging from his waist. He looked like a businessman.

“I am telling you the truth. In the entire market, our sweet potatoes are the cheapest.” Li Zhao bent over to pick up a sweet potato and broke it casually. “All of them have their roots and they’re soft and sweet. Boss, you look generous. How much jiao can you spare?”

“In order to move these sweet potatoes out of the village, we got off at dawn and had to pay for the gas on the way here. Look at the real price.”

“The man replied, “Yesterday morning, I already bought so. It is already afternoon. I’ll give you 9 jiao for 500 grams.”

Hearing the words 9 jiao, the guests stood together and desperately hid the sign with the price on it behind them.

“Big Brother, you’re a nice guy.” Li Zhao smiled, his eyes curving. “I still have 120 kg here. You are so upright that I can’t let you suffer. I will get rid of the remaining 20 kg and you just have to pay for 100.”

If it was like this, they could make four more yuan. (TL: There was actually a whole line on calculations but I’ve been converting their unit of asurent, catty to kilograms, so it wouldn’t make sense if I translated the line exactly)

It was four yuan, not four jiao. It was a huge sum of money.

“That isn’t okay. The entire street knows that I, Old Li, never takes advantage of people. “The middle-aged man took out 200 yuan from his bag and put it in Li Zhao’s hand. “Here’s the money. If you help move the sweet potatoes to the car, you can keep the change!”

“How can I be so shaless?”

“It is just a few more. What is the problem?” The middle-aged man patted his bag. “Go, carry it for .”

“Okay.” For the extra 20 yuan, the six guests generously carried 120 kg of sweet potatoes. They were followed by the middle-aged man as they loaded on the sweet potatoes on his van.

“Are you celebrities?” The middle-aged man noticed there were caras behind them and looked at them with pity. “I heard that before celebrities are famous, their lives are very hard. Refuel and wait to be popular. Then you can live better.”’

The guests nodded. “Thank you for your kind words.”

The program group, “...”

They were a serious TV variety program. Why was in that in this passerby’s eyes, they were like a black-hearted program abusing artists? Their style was criticized once again.

After collecting the money for selling sweet potatoes, the six people stood at the entrance of the slightly deserted vegetable market and saw soone buying cheap vegetables left by others. There was even an elderly lady picking up vegetables on the ground.

For all beings, happiness and sadness always proceeded at the sa ti.

An old lady with a hunchback and carrying a dirty snakeskin bag struggled to pick up a plastic bottle on the ground. So guests couldn’t bear the sight. They bought at for the old lady and told her to take it ho.”

The female worker selling seasonings cheerfully watched the scene. After the old lady left with the at, she asked, “Young man, do you want to buy hot pot ingredients?”

“Thank you, we won’t buy it.” Li Zhao shook her head.

“You youngsters are too kindhearted. Don’t look at this old lady who is so pitiful now. She was terrible when she was younger.” The older sister had an expression of disdain, sympathy and so complicated gloating. She forced her daughter-in-law to commit suicide by jumping into the river. Once her daughter-in-law was found, the remains had already swelled up.”

Li Zhao noted that this elder sister used ‘remains’ instead of ‘dead body.’

“If you did evil when you were young then you will receive retribution when you are old.” The big sister snorted. “Only you uninford strangers will sympathize with such people.”

Hearing these words, the guests felt a bit more complicated.

“Cut off this section.” The director’s group was quiet for a mont and the director sighed. Human nature often couldn’t stand up to scrutiny. These too sensitive things couldn’t be broadcasted.

Once they returned, the program group had arranged for a van to take them back. The van was a bit old and filled with the strange sll of rust and sweat. If anyone who was carsick got in then they would probably vomit on the spot.

Li Zhao sat in the last row and looked at the scenery passing by outside the window. He couldn’t help thinking that perhaps his biological parents didn’t accidentally lose him but... they didn’t want him.

There were mother-in-laws who forced their daughter-in-laws to die. Naturally, there would be parents who didn’t love their children.

“Xiao Li, what’s wrong?” Xiang Zhen saw that Li Zhao wasn’t very energetic. “Are you tired?”

Li Zhao shook his head and raised his spirits. “I’m trying to rember the road. If the program group doesn’t let us go then we can escape on foot.”

The caraman couldn’t help laughing.

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t rember. We have a map on our phones.” Xiang Zhen pulled out his phone. “I’ll show you my daughter.”

Xiang Zhen had a 10 year old daughter who was like a little angel. Thus, he loved to show off his child and was a veritable baby maniac.

Li Zhao looked at it curiously. The little girl in the photo was very cute. In particular, her eyes were clean and clear with child-like innocence.

“Brother Xiang, your little princess looks better than you.” Li Zhao praised. “Did the little girl inherit all the advantages of you and your wife?”

“That isn’t all.” At the show of interest, Xiang Zhen talked about how his daughter could play the violin, got first place in the class for her exams and even rembered when his daughter had peeled an orange for him.

Li Zhao listened very carefully, his eyes full of the bright light of the stars.

“Brother Xiang brags about his child with us 100 tis a day. Now he has you and finally has a new target to show off to.” Zhang Kui laughed. “It is also because you are interested in listening.”

“Brother Xiang’s family is very fun.” Li Zhao smiled. This perfect family looked very happy.

It was getting dark by the ti Li Zhao and the other guests finally returned to the village. The program group didn’t have them go to the villagers’ hos to ask for food. Instead, a al was prepared for them.

The sweet potato porridge was sweet and silky. Li Zhao ate three bowls in one breath and if it wasn’t for the cara and his fairy image, he would’ve wanted to eat a few more bowls.

“Thank you for selling sweet potatoes for the villagers. The money will be handed over to the village chief. Also, thanks to Feifei Milk and Baiyun Automobiles for their great support of this program. The sponsors are very satisfied with the performance this ti and are willing to donate one million yuan to the local governnt for construction of rural roads.”

“Thank you, sponsor father. I wish you a prosperous business and a monthly increase in sales.” Li Zhao picked up the cup and drank while looking at the cara.”

“The sponsor father is the kindest sponsor in the world.” Zhang Kui was next to Li Zhao and grabbed the cara with Li Zhao.

After eating, everyone started to walk back. It was unknown which dog heard them passing by and barked at them. Zhang Kui was slightly scared and subconsciously shrank back to Li Zhao’s side. “Xiao Li, did you hear where the dog barked from.

“Yes, I did.” Li Zhao pointed to a corner. “Isn’t it there?”

“Ah!”

Zhang Kui scread and his entire body jumped on Li Zhao. He had witnessed Old Liu being bitten by a dog and had a psychological shadow toward this creature since then.

“Brother Zhang, you’re very heavy.” Li Zhao ruthlessly dropped Zhang Kui. “The dog is tied up and can’t bite you.”

“What if the rope breaks?” Zhang Kui bowed his head and grabbed Li Zhao’s arm. “Brother Li, handso Li, my personal safety is in your hands.”

Li Zhao squinted at him and Zhang Kui smiled at Li Zhao.

His dignity was small, the bite of a dog was big.

“Bark bark bark!” The dog barked even more.

“be quiet and sit obediently!” Li Zhao saw that Zhang Kuiw as really afraid and turned to scold the dog a few tis. The originally strong dog whimpered and lowered its tail as it shrank back in the corner. It watched them vigilantly but didn’t dare co forward.

After leaving this dangerous area, Zhang Kui released Li Zhao’s arm. “Zhao Zhao, how did you make the dog afraid of you?”

Due to the dog, Zhang Kui’s term of address for Li Zhao beca closer.

“The falsehood is that it found we didn’t break into its owner’s gate and let us pass.”

“What is the truth?”

“I found that if I’m louder then it, the dog will feel ashad and retreat, pretending it isn’t as knowledgeable to maintain its face.”

“I don’t believe it.” Zhang Kui felt this reason was even more false. “You are bluffing .”

“Well, the real truth is...” Li Zhao stopped and pointed at the fork in the road. “Brother Zhang, your place is this way.”

“No, if I call you brother then send back. I rember that my neighbour is also raising a dog.” Zhang Kui gave Li Zhao a pleased smile. “You tell more about how to make a dog fear you.”

“Alas.” Li Zhao sighed. “The others are sending the beauties ho. Why is it only who has to send a big man back?”

“Hey, I don’t mind if you think of as a beauty.”

“My eyes and brain reject it.”

“Co on, let’s get back to talking about the dog.”

“When I was a child, another kid deliberately had a dog scare ...”

“How old were you then?” Zhang Kui was shocked and looked at Li Zhao with disbelief. How in the world could there be such a nasty child?

“I don’t rember. Eight or nine years old?” Li Zhao carefully recalled for a mont. “Still, it doesn’t matter. At that ti, I saw I couldn’t run away from the dog and faced its barking.”

“Who won then?”

“Of course, I won with great perseverance.” Li Zhao laughed. “Brother Zhang, what do you think of this story?”

“What?”

“An eight year old child isn’t afraid of dogs. Are you afraid?”

“I know you were lying to fool . Aren’t we brothers?” Zhang Kui jumped up in place, very angry and determined. “I don’t care. You have to send back anyway.”

Li Zhao smiled. “Let’s go, let’s go.”
