Chapter 55: Chapter 52: The Guest is Missing!
Chapter 55 -52: The Guest is Missing!
Chen Xixi tilted her chin towards the courtyard: “There’s a well in the front yard.”
The water usage requires a fee, but there was no prohibition against using the well water.
Han Qianyi’s eyes widened, unable to hide her excitement as she exclaimed: “Chen Xixi, you are so smart! We can now use water without paying!”
No more worries about washing her face, brushing teeth, or doing laundry!
She knew that with Chen Xixi around, she wouldn’t need to worry about anything!
But when the time came for her to draw water herself, she found that following Chen Xixi wasn’t so great after all.
She was so tired and unaccustomed to heavy labor, that her tender white hands turned red…
Since the pump didn’t use electricity and relied solely on manual effort, her main fuel was the meal she had just eaten at the banquet.
Han Qianyi pouted, looking through the window at Chen Xixi laying comfortably inside using her smartphone, and muttered under her breath with discontent: “Why does she get to enjoy while I suffer outside… annoying!”
Chen Xixi inside, as if sensing something, lifted her head, met Han Qianyi’s slightly resentful gaze, and with a slight smile, her lips parted gently: “Hurry up and work.”
Han Qianyi clenched her teeth.
In this new era where there are no slaves, why did she suddenly feel like she was becoming Chen Xixi’s slave, exploited to the fullest?
Just because she used her cosmetics a little? Does she really need to bully her like this?
Moments later, Han Qianyi scoffed coldly, letting Chen Xixi enjoy her moment of triumph for now.
Someday, she vowed to turn the tables and have Chen Xixi become her slave!
Around two in the afternoon, Han Qianyi finally finished drawing water, exhausted, and collapsed on the kang, not wanting to move at all, while her hatred towards Chen Xixi kept soaring.
Daring to make a future Oscar-winning actress fetch water, Chen Xixi better watch out!
[I’ve never seen Han Qianyi so desperate…]
[And it’s twice in a single day, once due to allergies and once from fetching water, all because of the same person.]
[Han Qianyi: Alive, but it’s no different from being dead.]
[Honestly, Han Qianyi’s real bare face does not look as good as Chen Xixi’s…]
Before Han Qianyi could sink deeper into despair, Qian Yue gathered everyone near the village committee.
Qian Yue: “There’s a great opportunity to earn some money right in front of us.”
An opportunity to make money?!
The guests, weary from the day’s aggravations, suddenly looked hopeful.
Jin Cheng, suddenly recalling the last five yuan sponsorship from a 100-meter dash, found nothing to look forward to, “Just how much is it, spit it out.”
Qian Yue answered with a smile: “Five yuan!”
Zheng He frowned deeply: “Can’t it be a bit more? What can five yuan do, you’re driving us to begging!”
Begging wasn’t even the most important issue, the pressing matter was that Chen Xixi currently had way too much money, and at this rate, relying on the small monetary opportunities provided by the show, it would take an eternity to accumulate two thousand yuan and surpass Chen Xixi.
If he couldn’t surpass her, then they should just get the show to eliminate Chen Xixi quickly!
If only he hadn’t lost his cell phone, he would really like to ask Old Zheng how his chat was going and whether Chen Xixi had fallen for it.

Qian Yue spoke indifferently: “That’s your problem, if you think the money is too little, you can choose not to participate.”
Though they complained about the small amount, they couldn’t afford to reject it since they were out of money.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Qian Yue started explaining the competition rules: “This time, the activity involves going to Beishan to pick apples. The guest who first picks 200 kilograms will receive a reward of five yuan!”
Zheng He: “Is there only one winner who gets the reward?”
Qian Yue nodded: “Yes, there will be just one winner this time!”
The competition became even fiercer!
Zheng He: “Surely they’re not going to make us walk there, are they?”
The production team has never provided transportation since the show started. The previous times were manageable as there was no labor required, but this time with mountain climbing and apple picking, if they still don’t provide transportation, they might just drop dead halfway.
Just when everyone had little hope, Qian Yue passionately announced, “This time transportation will be provided, and our new sponsor providing it is Atian Fruit Garden!”
All five guests sighed with relief upon hearing that there would be transportation.
Great, finally, they wouldn’t get exhausted halfway.
[No wonder they suddenly announced the apple-picking task, it turns out to be an advertisement woven into the competition!]
[Even if it’s an advertisement, I still want to watch it because I love seeing them fiercely compete for money!]
[Picking two hundred kilograms, won’t it be exhausting?]
Qian Yue glanced at his watch and said, “The car will be waiting for everyone at the village entrance, if there are no issues, then we can start timing…” and they set off.
His words hadn’t even finished when the five guests had already bolted.
He watched the backs of the five guests and simultaneously pressed the timer.
This time it’s an individual race; one has to look out for oneself.
The village entrance wasn’t too far from there, but when the group reached, they didn’t find any vehicles stopped.
Zheng He, hands on hips, panting heavily said, “Don’t tell me the production team is fooling us? Is there really no car!”
Right after Zheng He finished speaking, a black sedan perfectly stopped in front of them.
The driver had just rolled down the window and was about to speak, but Zheng He already opened the door and got in.
Seeing this, Han Qianyi and Wan Chen quickly followed suit.
The three of them took the back seats, and there was still one empty seat upfront.
Zheng He rolled down the rear window and looked at Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng standing outside, asking, “There are only four seats in this car, you see who goes first, or you both wait for the next one.”
Zheng He actually hoped that neither of them would get in, waiting for the next car, but since it was provided by the sponsor, he had no reason to deny them a spot, so he had to pretend to ask and hurry them.
Jin Cheng turned his head to look at Chen Xixi, “Sister, you go first, I’ll wait for the next one.”
Chen Xixi: “You go first.”
She felt that the next car wouldn’t take too long, so there was no need to compete with a younger man.
Zheng He watching their politeness was almost frantic, his patience gradually running out, he said impatiently: “Are you going or not? Decide quickly! If not, we’ll leave! Beishan is quite far from here, it would be troublesome if it gets dark!”
Chen Xixi gently pushed Jin Cheng, “Go ahead.”
Jin Cheng then got into the car.
The black sedan soon disappeared from Chen Xixi’s view.
As Chen Xixi anticipated, right after the black sedan left, the next vehicle stopped right in front of her.
However, this vehicle was a truck, with ‘Atian Fruit Garden’ in large letters on the blue body.
After Chen Xixi got on the truck, the driver, with a bit of a foreign accent, suddenly asked, “Beautiful lady, why are you alone? Weren’t there supposed to be five guests?”
Chen Xixi answered truthfully, “They took the car in front.”
The driver, puzzled: “The car in front? Our orchard sent only one vehicle! They specifically instructed me to take the five guests, don’t leave anyone behind!”
Chen Xixi, equally bewildered: “???”
[Damn! What car did Zheng He and the others take?]
[The day for Zheng He and the others is just too exciting and thrilling!]
[I bet they got kidnapped!]
The chief director of the production team became instantly anxious upon seeing this!
Where are his guests! He had just gone to the bathroom, and on returning, four were gone!!
