Chapter 50 -47: A Feast in the Village!
Before Zheng He could react, the bag of eggs and dried noodles he was holding was taken away by the other person.
[Hahaha, why is Zheng He so miserable, he wanted to stay for free, but ended up losing a bag of eggs and a bag of noodles!]
[This woman says she’s sorry, but she doesn’t act embarrassed at all.]
[I knew this show wasn’t going to be simple, there’s always a catch with anything free! Quickly look at Chen Xixi over there, they’ve already started charging!]
[Really? I’ll go take a look!]
Chen Xixi’s side.
Landlord Aunt Wu handed two cards to Chen Xixi, “These are the water and electricity top-up cards, just pay with your phone and then insert the card into the slot to use.”
Han Qianyi was dazed for a moment; she didn’t have a penny in her pocket, how was she supposed to recharge?
In this case, wouldn’t she lose the ability to wash her face, take a shower, or do laundry!
Then what about her on-camera presence!!
She couldn’t possibly record the program wearing dirty clothes for several days, without washing her face or brushing her teeth, right?
Han Qianyi was on the verge of breakdown, she looked at Aunt Wu with incomprehension and asked, “Didn’t you just say stay for free? Why do we still need to pay?”
Aunt Wu: “It’s free for you to stay, but aside from that, everything else in this house costs money.”
As soon as Aunt Wu’s words fell, Chen Xixi glanced around the room.
Although the house seemed a bit old, it was clean and tidy, and at a glance, one could notice that there weren’t many usable items in it.
The kitchen was empty; it seemed that not only they had to pay for water and electricity themselves, but there were also no pots and pans.
Han Qianyi felt as if the sky had fallen; she was truly doomed this time… No, that’s wrong, the richest guest of the show, Chen Xixi, was right by her side. As long as she clung to Chen Xixi, even if the sky fell, Chen Xixi would hold it up for her. What’s there to worry about?

Chen Xixi pursed her lips lightly and reached out to take the cards, “Okay, Auntie.”
Their living conditions were getting tougher, and at this rate, she wouldn’t be surprised if in the last few days the show crew would toss them into the wilderness to fend for themselves.
After Aunt Wu finished instructing, she smiled and said, “I’ll be leaving then.”
Chen Xixi: “Auntie, don’t you live here?”
Aunt Wu pointed to the backyard, “I don’t usually live here, I live in that house in the back, this place is specially prepared by the show crew for you guys.”
The direction Aunt Wu pointed was a newly built two-story building.
[Chen Xixi was indeed right, it was really a reverse arrangement. If you want a house with everything, you have to pay; if you want a free house, you have to accept that everything inside is self-funded.]
[It’s good to have a place to live!]
[Han Qianyi is probably okay; she can think of a way to mooch off Chen Xixi, but what about Wan Chen and Jin Cheng? And what about Zheng He, even his eggs and noodles were taken away by the landlord.]
[How to live without water and electricity? I really can’t imagine what kind of life they will lead next!]
[They really have it tough! This is the first time I am watching a variety show and feeling the urge to raise some money to send it to them…]
[Why sympathize with them! They are competing for five million prize money, if they win, they won’t share the prize money with us, we can only say that they chose this path themselves, no matter how hard, they must grit their teeth and bear it.]
After Aunt Wu left, Han Qianyi turned her head to Chen Xixi and said gently, “You take the bigger room.”
Before, she was afraid of getting close to Chen Xixi; worried that Chen Xixi was like Zheng He said, scheming, setting her up.
But now she was penniless, and so without fear.
There were a total of two rooms in this house, one was a large sunny room, the other was a slightly damp small room.
She thought by proactively offering the best, big room to Chen Xixi, she could not only win Chen Xixi’s favor – making it more convenient to mooch off Chen Xixi’s water and electricity bills later – but also cultivate a good-hearted and beautiful image for herself in front of the netizens.
It’s like killing two birds with one stone!
Chen Xixi looked at Han Qianyi with no apparent fluctuation in her emotions.
She still remembered the incident with the express delivery and how Han Qianyi had Zheng He report her.
Could Han Qianyi have no ulterior motive for being so kind this time?
Each harbored their own thoughts.
For safety’s sake, Chen Xixi didn’t want to get too involved with Han Qianyi: “Let’s take turns sleeping in this large room.”
Han Qianyi: “It’s fine, I can sleep in the small room. There’s no need to switch back and forth all the time; it’s such a hassle…”
Chen Xixi couldn’t be bothered to waste time going back and forth with her. She dragged her suitcase straight to the small room, “It’s not a hassle.”
Her brisk, undragging silhouette conveyed a clear and direct message to Han Qianyi—her decision was final.
Han Qianyi watched Chen Xixi’s departing figure, feeling slightly frantic inside.
Chen Xixi was proving to be quite a challenge to deal with.
Chen Xixi settled her luggage and glanced at the two cards in her hand before entering Han Qianyi’s large room. She asked, “Do you need this card? If you’re going to use it, I can give it to you.”
Of course, she needed it, but the key issue was…
Han Qianyi cautiously probed, “Have you topped it up?”
Chen Xixi: “I don’t need it, so I’m not planning to top it up.”
Han Qianyi looked at her incredulously: “You won’t use it? Then you won’t wash your face, shower, or cook?”
“We’ll see,” Chen Xixi said, placing the card on the edge of the bed. “I’ve left the card here. Whenever you have the money and want to recharge it for the water and electricity bills, go ahead. I won’t use it.”
Han Qianyi: “…” When would she have the money? Where would she get it from?
[Not use water and electricity? What kind of joke is Chen Xixi making? Can people today survive without water and electricity?]
[Sometimes when there’s just a few hours without water or electricity in a day, I get so irritable and inconvenienced. I can’t imagine not using water or electricity at all like Chen Xixi is suggesting—it seems impossible!]
[Han Qianyi is really too nice! She even gave up the only larger room to Chen Xixi!]
[Chen Xixi is really ungrateful!]
[Why is she ungrateful? Isn’t it fair? Competitors should rely on their own abilities. Han Qianyi is taking the initiative to be friendly because Chen Xixi has money. If Chen Xixi didn’t have money, you’ll see if Han Qianyi would bother with her!]
[Does Chen Xixi really plan to not wash her face, hair, or bathe at all?!]
Jin Chengwanchen and Zheng He also received the utility recharge cards, the three of them close to despair.
Every day was just too hard; one piece of bad news followed another.
They weren’t given a break.
But as the saying goes, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!
On the twelfth day of their ordeal, they were still alive and well, and their luck finally arrived!
Qian Yue announced through the village’s loudspeaker, “The village chief’s daughter is getting married today and has invited us to join the wedding banquet. Please, guests, get ready and gather at Chunxiang Hotel at the east end of the village at ten o’clock sharp!”
The village chief wanted to create a lively atmosphere and also take the opportunity to be on a live broadcast.
After all, having his daughter’s wedding broadcast live through the show provided significant face value.
Since the production team was filming in the village, it was only natural they had involved the village chief to coordinate some matters, so they accepted the invitation.
The five guests perked up at the thought of attending a feast—their eyes instantly lit up!
