After dinner, Xiao Wen appeared to announce the mission for tomorrow’s filming.

“Hello, mothers and children. After breakfast tomorrow, the mothers will take the children to the market to buy the ingredients needed for tomorrow’s lunch and dinner.”

After Xiao Wen finished speaking, she gave each of the mothers a small envelope.

“This is the funding provided by the production team.”

Lin Qianqian was the first to open it. She was shocked.

“20 yuan?”

The other mothers also opened their envelopes. Each of them had a 20-yuan note in them.

[20 yuan can’t buy anything!]

[In the countryside, it’s probably enough to buy some vegetables and staples. For an adult and a child, the ingredients should be barely enough.]

[Yeah, that’s about right. If you want meat like Baby Yibo, it’s not enough.]

Xiao Wen said, “Yes, 20 yuan. A friendly reminder, the market in the village closes at 8:30 in the morning.”

“The stalls close at 8:30, so let’s set off at 8:00,” Xu Wanjia said.

Wu Yuerou couldn’t help but laugh, “The stalls close at 8:30, but you’re leaving at 8:00? By the time you get there, nothing will be left.”

Xu Wanjia was a little embarrassed by Wu Yuerou’s words. She laughed awkwardly and turned to ask Xiao Wen, “How far is it from here to the market?”

Xiao Wen said, “It’s not too far. It takes about 20 minutes to walk there.”

As expected, there was not enough time.

Han Jiangxue asked, “How about we leave at 6:30?”

It would be around seven o’clock when they got there, so there was plenty of time to buy ingredients.

Lin Qianqian said, “Let’s leave at 7. 6:30 is a little too early. We still have to eat breakfast. Reaching the market by 7:30 should be fine.”

While everyone was arguing about the time, Han Jiangxue noticed that Ye Zhenzhen did not participate in the discussion.

“Zhenzhen, what do you think? What time is suitable for us to leave?”

Ye Zhenzhen shrugged, “I’m fine with anything. You can decide for yourselves.”

She did not want to wake up early. She wanted to sleep in with Baby Chen.

In the original plot of the book, everyone listened to Han Jiangxue’s request to leave at 6:30 am, but the original owner of this body insisted on getting up early. She woke up an hour earlier than Han Jiangxue, at 5:30 am. She even urged Baby Chen to leave. In the end, Baby Chen was so sleepy that he could not walk, and the original owner of the body was full of resentment.

Thinking of all this, Ye Zhenzhen felt a headache coming on.

Either way, the ingredients she brought back from Zhan Nan’s house today were enough for Baby Chen and her to eat for a day tomorrow. There was no need for her to get up early to go to the market. Moreover, 20 yuan could not buy anything.

[Why is Ye Jianjian so ungrateful? Xiao Xue is asking you out of kindness. What are you doing?]

[She doesn’t seem to have to go to the market. The things she brought back today are enough.]

Xiao Wen came out at the right time to add, “All the mothers must go to the market tomorrow. You can decide the time yourself. If you don’t go, you won’t be allowed to participate in the program missions after tomorrow.”

Ye Zhenzhen was speechless.

This was deliberate targeting!

[Hahaha! Look at Ye Jianjian’s face hahaha]

[Assistant: Ye Jianjian, how can I not understand your thoughts?]

Director Fei was the one who asked Xiao Wen to go over and say those words. Everyone saw the ingredients that Ye Zhenzhen brought back tonight, so Director Fei was afraid that she would not go to the market the next morning.

If Ye Zhenzhen did not go to the market tomorrow morning, what would the program team film? It had only been two days, but the other four mothers combined were not as popular as Ye Zhenzhen.

If Ye Zhenzhen did not go to the market tomorrow morning, he would drag her along.

Han Jiangxue said, “Let’s go together tomorrow morning. Shall we leave at 7 o’clock?”

Everyone expressed that they had no objections and nodded.

This time, Ye Zhenzhen did not say anything. She was too lazy to say anything. They would leave the next morning when they woke up.

If she got up late, she would just forgo breakfast and use the 20 yuan to buy some food for Baby Chen from the streets.

Either way, she had the ingredients for lunch and dinner.

…

At night, Han Jiangxue wanted to make Shen Yibo study poetry as well, but this time, Shen Yibo fell asleep as soon as he was on the bed.

Han Jiangxue’s plan to act as a patient and loving mother in front of the camera fell through.

On Ye Zhenzhen and Lin Qianqian’s side, Fang Xiaoyu and Song Yuchen also fell asleep very quickly. After showering, the two little fellows fell asleep almost immediately.

It was probably because everyone was tired today, but the adults fell asleep very quickly too.

On the other side, Wu Yuerou had just finished showering with An Ruilin. After much consideration, she still wanted to change rooms. She hadn’t slept well last night and had quarreled with Ye Zhenzhen this morning. She felt a headache.

After coaxing An Ruilin to sleep, she went out of the room to look for the cameraman from yesterday. She borrowed his phone and called her husband again. After trying to get through to him a few times, still, no one picked up the phone.

Where was An Hao now? He had found two pretty girls to play with at a clubhouse tonight. How could he have the time to answer Wu Yuerou’s call?

Wu Yuerou was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone. She glanced at the light in Xu Wanjia’s room and walked over to knock on the door.

Yang Yike had just been coaxed to sleep. Xu Wanjia came out of the room. When she saw Wu Yuerou, she asked softly, “Yuerou, what’s wrong?”

Wu Yuerou’s eyes were filled with a faint sense of self-righteousness, “Xu Wanjia, switch rooms with me. The room you’re sleeping in was originally mine.”

Xu Wanjia was stunned and smiled slightly, “Your husband arranged it for you?”

Wu Yuerou slightly raised her eyebrows and silently agreed.

“Then go and tell the director. If the director asks me to move, I will. Alright, I need to go. Yiyi needs me to accompany her when she sleeps.”

The moment Xu Wanjia turned around, the smile on her face disappeared.

Trying to switch rooms failed again. Wu Yuerou was so angry that she tossed and turned on the bed. Xu Wanjia’s husband was a big director in the industry, and she did not want to fall out with her.

Obviously, Xu Wanjia was not afraid of her.

…

Early in the morning of the third day.

When Ye Zhenzhen woke up, Song Yuchen was still asleep. There were already sounds coming from the courtyard. Han Jiangxue and the rest had already woken up and were sitting around the dining table eating breakfast.

Judging from the voices, other than Han Jiangxue, there were also Wu Yuerou and her son, as well as Lin Qianqian and her daughter.

After Ye Zhenzhen finished washing up, she looked at the clock in the room. It was ten past seven.

Han Jiangxue’s voice came from outside the door, “Zhenzhen, are you up? We’re going to set off together.”

Ye Zhenzhen opened the door, “Oh, you guys go ahead. Baby Chen is still asleep.”

“Is he not awake yet? Do you want us to wait for you?”

Although Han Jiangxue was being polite, she had decided that no matter what the other party said, she would leave first.

Ye Zhenzhen’s lips twitched.

“You can wait if you want.”

Let’s see who’s better at acting, then!

Han Jiangxue looked at Wu Yuerou with a troubled expression. Sure enough, Wu Yuerou shouted at them, “Xiao Xue, hurry up! We’re leaving!”

Out of the five mothers, only Ye Zhenzhen, Xu Wanjia, and their children weren’t prepared yet. Wu Yuerou did not want to be with the two of them. Before this, she did not think much of Xu Wanjia, but after the failed discussion regarding the matter of changing rooms last night, she did not want to see the latter anymore.

Now was the perfect time. The two people she didn’t like hadn’t gotten ready yet, so they should hurry up and leave. What were they waiting for?

Han Jiangxue continued to ask, “Zhenzhen, how much longer do you need?”
