“An entire orchard?”
Han Jiangxue repeated Song Yuchen’s words in disbelief, feeling that she was just a child bragging. A basket of oranges sold in a day had turned into an entire orchard.
Song Yuchen looked extremely clever, but he was only so-so. He couldn’t compare to Yibo. At the very least, the little fatty wouldn’t brag in public and embarrass her.
Song Yuchen nodded, “Yes, an entire orchard. Mommy is very awesome!”
Having found another opportunity, Wu Yuerou looked at Ye Zhenzhen and said in a hostile tone, “You told the child that you sold an orchard’s worth of oranges just because you sold a few? I’ve seen that old granny before. She only had one or two baskets of oranges in the morning. How could that be called an entire orchard?”
Wu Yuerou then glanced at the bowl in front of Ye Zhenzhen and continued, “Don’t tell me that you helped her sell the oranges because you felt sorry for her. Did you take the eggs from the old granny too?”
She was almost straight out accusing Ye Zhenzhen of having the nerve to brag about selling a few oranges and even shamelessly took the meager rations of a countryside old granny.
[What is this?]
[Why is there drama so early in the morning? Big Sis Wu, can’t you and your son stop causing trouble?]
[Why do I feel like Han Jiangxue is the one who’s causing trouble? There’s something wrong with both of them.]
[Ye Zhenzhen did sell an entire orchard’s worth of oranges, stop looking for trouble.]
Han Jiangxue’s lips twitched slightly. As expected of her good friend, she could voice exactly what she was thinking.
She lowered her head and peeled the orange in her hand to hide the cold mockery in her heart. The orange peel was very soft and thin. It was indeed a good orange.
Ye Zhenzhen narrowed her cold eyes and glanced at Han Jiangxue, who had stirred up trouble. She then stared at Wu Yuerou for a few seconds before saying, “If you really think so, I can’t do anything about it. After all, a frog in a well doesn’t know the sea.”
Wu Yuerou frowned, “What do you mean?”
What frog in what well?
Wu Yuerou didn’t quite understand. She didn’t study hard when she was in school, and later on, she married her current husband with her family’s support. Plus, most of her variety shows were scripted.
Now that Ye Zhenzhen used an idiom, she did not know how to retort.
[Hahahaha! We didn’t give her the nickname Ye Duidui for nothing.]
Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.
[Ye Zhenzhen is saying that Wu Yuerou is ignorant, short-sighted, and narrow-minded, right?]
[Big Sis Wu, you should be more self-conscious. If you don’t have the ability, don’t come out and embarrass yourself.]
At this point, Xu Wanjia had finished feeding Baby Yiyi noodles. She said lightly, “There’s no need for the doubt. Yesterday, Zhenzhen sold all the oranges in the old lady’s orchard. It was a total of 10,000 kilograms of oranges.”
“Heavens! Zhenzhen, you’re too amazing. To think you can sell so many oranges in such a short time!” Lin Qianqian praised Ye Zhenzhen from the bottom of her heart.
She gave Ye Zhenzhen a thumbs up and said,” But, how did you know that the old lady had so many oranges? How did you help them?”
“I only found out that the little girl lost her parents after I chatted with them,” Ye Zhenzhen said, “She was taking care of an orange orchard with her old grandmother. I helped them not only because I felt sorry for them, but also because the moment I saw them, I thought of the many children who were left behind in the mountains.”
“Their parents left the children at home with their grandparents to find better employment opportunities. Some don’t even have grandparents and are alone. The old grandma and the little girl were just a microcosm of many left-behind children and elderly.”
“In the end, I asked the director of the program team if I could help them by selling oranges during the live broadcast. The director agreed and supported my approach. It’s not that I’m amazing to be able to sell so many oranges in such a short time. I have to thank the support of the program team and the support of the netizens in the live broadcast room. I didn’t mean anything else by saying so much. I just wanted to say that I only wanted to do my part to help them. That’s all.”
They were in a live broadcast now, so she didn’t know how the people of this world would view this matter. However, she had to make this matter clear so that her actions wouldn’t be misinterpreted by someone with ill intentions.
As for caring for left-behind children, she felt that it was better to wait until after the show ended. Just like in her previous life, when she had money, she would go to the mountains to help those in need.
[The more I look at Ye Zhenzhen, the more I think she’s a good person. She actually thought of the left-behind children and elderly!]]
[Although I really don’t want to admit it, I did misunderstand this woman yesterday. She is very loving.]
[Anti-fans, why have you been quiet today? Say something, come on!]
[I’ll come! Ye Jianjian is just putting on a show! All of this is scripted!]
[The anti-fan in the previous comment can just get lost! Stupid thing, go back and study more!]
Wu Yuerou’s eyes were filled with disdain. She thought that Ye Zhenzhen was just putting on a show. She had seen many such tricks in variety shows, and Ye Zhenzhen just happened to encounter a good opportunity.
She was acting in concert with Lin Qianqian!
Han Jiangxue initially found the oranges very sweet, but after hearing Ye Zhenzhen’s words, she suddenly found them bitter. Ye Zhenzhen had really sold an entire orchard of oranges, and she was even supported by the program team!
Before she came on the show, she had told her manager to hire a huge Internet water army to slander Ye Zhenzhen in the live broadcast room.
Were the netizens not criticizing her anymore? Why did they buy her oranges?
She had been the first one to go to the market yesterday morning. If she had gone forward and asked the old lady about her circumstances, then helped her to sell oranges in the live broadcast, would she have been the one to say these words to the camera now?
Damn it! Ye Zhenzhen had gotten the chance to show off again.
Although there were not many netizens in the live broadcast room in the morning, the topics discussed by the guests were very targeted. With Ye Zhenzhen’s speech, new trending searches quickly appeared on Weibo.
#Ye Zhenzhen cares for the left-behind children and elderly #
#Ye Zhenzhen thanks the audience and the program team #
#Mum’s Company is a good watch#
For the past few days, most of the trending topics were related to Ye Zhenzhen. Today, the news about the left-behind children attracted another crowd of netizens who did not pay attention to variety shows.
Everyone clicked on the trending search and watched some clips and screenshots.
[To be honest, there are really a lot of things to watch on this variety show. The children and elderly left behind in the mountains are really pitiful!]
[If possible, I would like to do my part to help them too.]
[I want to be Ye Zhenzhen’s fan. Those who say that she’s putting on a show, please do something practical before slandering her.]
In the past few days, Ye Zhenzhen’s Weibo followers had increased, but the speed of growth was not fast. But now, just in one morning, her followers increased by one million.
Director Fei was so happy when he saw the statistics. He did not expect Ye Zhenzhen to be so kind and grateful other than being eloquent. He was right about her.
The trending searches over the past few days had made his variety show the most popular live broadcast variety show on the internet. It had even surpassed Lemon TV’s ace variety show, a reality love show.
In the courtyard, the topic had ended. Everyone cleared the bowls and chopsticks and cleaned up the dining table.
Then, Xiao Wen appeared and announced the mission for the day.
