[Who are you calling coy and pretentious? Our Yun Liu is a bona fide heiress. She doesn’t need to know any of this in her entire life! Why must she experience these things? She doesn’t have to if she doesn’t want to! She has the right to reject things that don’t belong or pertain to her world!]
[Yeah! Celebrities can spoil their fans but shouldn’t give in and pander to their fans. That’s our Yun Liu’s principle. She doesn’t need to listen to your demands; she only needs to do her own thing!]
[I can’t believe that a wealthy and aristocratic heiress like Shi Xiu is actually willing to demean herself and do this kind of farm work to stand out and attract attention. She’s certainly putting a lot of effort into this! Very hardworking… Hey, could the Shi family be a fake wealthy family? Hahahaha!]
[Wow! Even the daughter of a wealthy family needs popularity. We live in an era where popularity is king, and no one is immune to it.]
[Our Yun Liu won’t bow down to streaming numbers. She will only stay true to herself!]
[Oh my God, are you guys for real? How’s your teeth? They must be in quite a sorry state, considering how much you all like lying through them! You know you’ll pay for your lies one day, right?]
[How to explain what a two-faced green tea is… There’s no need for me to explain; you only have to look at your idol Yun Liu. She’s the perfect example.] [Who are you calling green tea? You and your entire family are all green tea!] The netizens were busy arguing back and forth on the Internet while the show’s guests were busy picking ripe fruits and vegetables. None of the people present had any experience in harvesting, so the show’s production team specifically invited some local villagers to guide them.
Therefore, even Shi Xiu—who was making a racket with all her yelling and exclamations—managed to complete quite a number of tasks.
Yun Liu didn’t go down into the fields, partly because she wanted to keep up her wealthy heiress image and partly because she really couldn’t make herself do this kind of work. She was left at the side of the fields to take inventory of the fruits of their labor.
Everyone’s faces were covered in sweat and dirt when they were done. Their faces were muddy, never mind their makeup. Shi Nian’s beige-colored casual clothes were also stained with mud and water, but he still looked outstanding despite his sorry state.
Most importantly, everyone was having a great time. They felt a sense of accomplishment when they looked at the various vegetables they harvested.
The villagers had provided them with three wheelbarrows. After several times of loading and overturning the wheelbarrows, they finally mastered the usage of the wheelbarrows and transported the vegetables home.
The first wheelbarrow to arrive home was Si Kun and Ji Fei’s. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Mai Fen carrying food from the kitchen to the dining table outside. She was pleasantly surprised and excited to see them. “You’re finally back,” she said. “We were just getting worried!”
Xiao Zhao, Hai Hua, Yun Liu, and the newcomer, Le Chao, had followed right behind Si Kun and Ji Fei with the second wheelbarrow, so they heard Mai Fen’s comment.
Xiao Zhao’s heart sank. He was worried that he wouldn’t have any food to eat after returning home from such exhausting labor and would have to cook for them in his tired state. He hurriedly asked, “Worried? About what? What’s wrong? Give me a moment to catch my breath. I’ll make lunch right away. I’ll cook some noodles if lunch is a bust.”
In his distraction, his wheelbarrow toppled amid cries of surprise. Le Chao sighed and tried his best to hold the wheelbarrow upright while grumbling at Xiao Zhao, “When will you stop worrying? You’re always fretting about this and that and trying to solve every problem you see! Yan Tang, you have to keep him on a leash. He’ll run himself ragged! You’re not a Superman, Xiao Zhao!”
Yan Tang ‘added insult to injury’ by teasing, “He’s not Superman. He’s a Buddha who came down to the mortal world with a mission to save all living beings!” Le Chao laughed so hard he couldn’t stand straight.
Shi Nian, Shi Xiu, and Yan Tang brought in the third and last wheelbarrow. The wheelbarrow wobbled and shook but managed to reach their destination without mishap. After carefully putting away the wheelbarrows full of fruits and vegetables, everyone turned to save the veggies and fruits that had spilled out of Xiao Zhao’s wheelbarrow.
Xiao Zhao didn’t have time for his friends’ jokes. He was anxious to see what state the kitchen was in, so he quickly strode towards the kitchen, dragging his partner, Si Kun, with him along the way.
Si Kun was of the same mind as Xiao Zhao. They both thought they would have to make lunch and were prepared to do so. However, they didn’t get that far. They stood agape at the dining table in the courtyard. The table was filled with dishes—all sorts of food were laid out before them in large amounts.
They were stunned. Mai Fen came out, carrying bowls of rice, and knew what they were thinking when she saw their expressions. She laughed merrily and said, “Why are you two still staring at the food? I’ve taste- tested them for you; I guarantee you’ll be satisfied! Go take a shower and change your clothes, then hurry up and come over for lunch!”
She also instructed the others to quickly clean up so they could eat. Everyone who passed by the dining table exclaimed in surprise before they swiftly ran to clean themselves up, afraid they wouldn’t have food if they were late.
Yun Liu’s eyes flashed, and she looked toward the kitchen but didn’t see Yun Nan. Her mind was filled with doubts and conjectures. When Yun Liu came out after taking a shower and changing her clothes, everyone except Shi Nian and
Yun Nan were already seated.
Shi Xiu was saying, “My brother is a moron when it comes to day-to-day skills.
Without my sister-in-law, he wouldn’t even be able to find his own clothes!”
Footsteps came from behind Yun Liu. “Are you saying bad things about me again?” Shi Nian came out hand-in-hand with Yun Nan and admonished his sister.
Shi Xiu pulled a face at her brother and told Yun Nan, “You should’ve left him to his own devices, Yun Nan. That way, he won’t be able to find any of his clothes and thus be unable to come out for dinner.. You’ll starve, Shi Nian! How about that!”
