I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 54 - 51 Use Water Without Spending Money

Chapter 54: Chapter 51 Use Water Without Spending Money!

Chapter 54 -51 Use Water Without Spending Money!

Village committee.

Several villagers stood in the office, pointing at Zheng He indignantly and said, “Director, it’s this kid who had a plastic bag in the field trying to steal melons. We caught him red-handed!”

Zheng He held up his own plastic bag to show them, hurriedly arguing in defense, “I was really just passing by! My plastic bag is left over from packing food after a feast, it’s not a tool for committing a crime!”

He had noticed a large watermelon patch by the road when he was returning from the feast.

Actually, he had also come this way earlier, but at that time, he was so hungry he could almost eat a person, so he hadn’t noticed the watermelon patch.

After noticing the watermelon patch, he did walk into the field with his plastic bag… Okay, he admitted that he actually did have a bit of a wicked thought at that moment…

Ever since joining this bizarre money-saving reality show, he hadn’t tasted what fruit was like anymore.

Seeing them now, it would be a lie to say he wasn’t feeling any cravings.

So, he looked around cautiously and sneaked into the melon field, crouching down. Just as he was about to reach out for a particularly appetizing-looking melon, he was caught in the act by villagers coming out of the greenhouse!

One villager, full of righteousness, decisively didn’t believe Zheng He, and angrily pointed at Zheng He’s nose, “I saw him sneaking around, he was definitely trying to steal melons!”

Zheng He firmly denied it, “It’s not true! I just thought those melons looked really good, so I went over to have a look! If you don’t believe me, go look in the melon field now. Those melons are all growing well in the field, I haven’t even touched them! And you say I’m stealing melons – do you have any evidence?”

Another villager also disregarded Zheng He’s defense, pointing at Zheng He and adding, “Not only did he want to steal melons, but I also saw him lurking about shadily in the vegetable patch earlier. I think he wanted to steal vegetables too!”

[Stealing vegetables, a term I’ve hardly heard since I stopped playing farm games…]

[Zheng He is really confused! How could he go stealing melons?]

[Han Qianyi and Zheng He, really, one steals watermelons, the other steals cosmetics to use. How did the production team manage to pick these two oddballs out of a bunch of normal people?]

[Probably was too hungry and couldn’t control himself…]

[This show really knows how to pick its people; just five guests, and each oddball has their own unique trait.]

[I feel like Wan Chen is probably the most normal one in the show.]

In the end, the villagers couldn’t produce any evidence, and Zheng He refused to admit anything, so the case of stealing vegetables and melons was settled after the production team intervened to mediate.

Qian Yue left the village committee and sighed deeply, then turned to look at Zheng He, who was following behind with an air of righteousness, “Do you know how famous you are on the internet now?”

Zheng He felt quite good about himself, “Isn’t that normal? I’m so handsome, and I’m on live broadcasts every day. Isn’t it normal for me to be famous?”

Qian Yue scoffed, “Wishful thinking! I’m telling you, you’re now a person of special concern to the police. Your misdeeds are now being used as live examples in public service announcements by major official Weibo platforms. You better cut down on your shady activities! At this rate, I’m worried you’ll find yourself stepping on a sewing machine behind bars.”

First roping people into a pyramid scheme, then threatening robbery, and now attempting to steal melons and vegetables; all these actions certainly looked prone to earning a conviction.

Now the internet was saying, Zheng He definitely had the potential to end up in jail, with vigorous calls for the police to investigate him further.

Qian Yue gave him another look and continued, “The thing is, it doesn’t matter if you end up sewing, but because of you, an infamous layman, our entire show might all be for naught!”

Zheng He frowned and explained, “It’s all a misunderstanding, my ancestors have all been law-abiding citizens. I certainly couldn’t be involved in illegal activities.”

“You better be right about that,” Qian Yue didn’t even know what tricks Zheng He had used to convince the chief director to let him join the show. It was incomprehensible.

[Hahaha! I’ve heard of celebrities with scandals, but it’s my first time hearing about a scandalous layman!]

[I’m not sure if Zheng He’s ancestors were law-abiding citizens, but Zheng He himself doesn’t really look like he could be.]

[Zheng He being caught stealing melons and vegetables, Han Qianyi stealing cosmetics and getting her face swollen like a braised pork head, their day has been too dramatic, could it all be scripted?]

[I feel like no script could be this entertaining haha!]

On the other side.

After finishing her meal, Chen Xixi placed the leftover dishes in a cool spot and then went outside to see Han Qianyi standing at her door.

She took the initiative to ask, “Is your face feeling any better after the wash?”

Han Qianyi covered her face with both hands, avoiding the live streaming camera as she mumbled, “It still itches a bit.”

Just now when she was inside the house, Chen Xixi told her to get out or she’d start charging her for the bottled water.

Afraid that Chen Xixi would actually ask her for money, she didn’t dare to enter the house even after washing her face, and just stood obediently in the courtyard with her face covered.

At the same time, she deeply regretted secretly using Chen Xixi’s makeup.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have damaged her own face like this.

Chen Xixi leaned lazily against the door frame, arms crossed over her chest, “Wait and see a bit longer; if it doesn’t get better, then we should go to the hospital.”

“Oh… okay.”

Chen Xixi raised an eyebrow, “Not coming in?”

Han Qianyi slowly turned her head towards Chen Xixi and asked quietly, “Are you going to charge me?”

“I won’t.” Chen Xixi suddenly smiled, “But you have to help me with something later.”

Han Qianyi knew there was no way the stingy Chen Xixi would just give her a bottle of water for nothing.

There must be a catch!

Just as Chen Xixi was about to turn back into the house, she remembered something and turned back to Han Qianyi, “Don’t get me wrong. I’m not negotiating with you over that bottle of water; it’s for using my makeup without permission.”

Stealing her makeup should come with a price. If Han Qianyi got off too easily, she might do something even worse next time.

In this dog-eat-dog world, you absolutely can’t be a pushover and let anyone take advantage of you.

Han Qianyi frowned, “I’m not even going to pursue the matter with the allergic reaction!”

Chen Xixi was unyielding, “You think you have the right to pursue it with me? Besides, give me the money for the water.”

No solid rationale, and no desire to hand over the money for the water.

Han Qianyi didn’t say anything and stomped into the house.

[Damn! Is that Han Qianyi without makeup now? Why does she look like a completely different person? She doesn’t seem as pretty as before.]

[She didn’t look like this bare-faced in the dormitory, right?]

[Is it possible that her previous ‘bare-faced’ was fake…]

[I thought Chen Xixi was really kind enough to give Han Qianyi a bottle of water for free, but it turns out Chen Xixi had already calculated it all.]

[I was just thinking that Chen Xixi was a bit too kind. Han Qianyi used Chen Xixi’s makeup first and even tried to turn the tables on her, yet Chen Xixi was surprisingly able to take it easy and not pursue it. It turns out I overthought it; Chen Xixi really can’t be taken advantage of at all.]

After a while, the allergic symptoms on Han Qianyi’s face slowly subsided, and Chen Xixi somehow procured a large plastic bucket and placed it in front of Han Qianyi.

Chen Xixi’s lips curled slightly, “Go fetch some water.”

She happened to be in need of a laborer, and Han Qianyi’s arrival was perfectly timed.

Han Qianyi looked confused, “Where to fetch water? We didn’t pay the water bill…”
